Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Hiding from the Rain

This is an ordinary coffin board, and its inner wall is flat, as if it has been specially treated.Fortunately, there was no danger, the falling coffin board did not hit anyone.But this is enough to make people feel scared. After all, it is extremely dangerous for a coffin board to suddenly fall from this emerald mountain. Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the top of the cliff, and saw four rows of coffins placed on the vertical cliff, four in each row, neatly arranged in a matrix.These coffins all adopt the stake-style burial method, that is, the coffins are placed on four wooden stakes driven on the cliff.Look at the fallen board again. It is about two and a half meters long and eighty centimeters wide. It is thick in the middle and thin on both sides, as if it had been cut from a big tree.

Everyone was startled, and immediately quickened their pace and rushed out of the cliff where the hanging coffin was placed, for fear that the wooden board would suddenly fall and hit them. I asked Tang Yong, "Is this the cemetery we are looking for?" Tang Yong shook his head and said: "You forgot, A Chao told us that every time we walked a certain distance, we would encounter a hanging coffin. We just encountered one. Look here, although the country is beautiful, but in the The cliff is not a real cave in the sky. Looking at this cliff again, although it is high, it lacks relaxation and aura, and it is not enough to be the king's sleeping palace, so let's go further."

After listening to Tang Yong's words, I thought of a sentence in the "Compendium of Mausoleums of Kings and Dukes": "The tombs of kings always have the spirit of dragons and tigers. What is the universe?" Although this mountain is located on a cliff, it is an ordinary one among thousands of mountains and ravines, and it does not have the air of an emperor. Everyone continued to walk forward, but now when everyone walks, they are much more careful than before. We no longer only look at our feet, but also look at the top of our heads from time to time.Fortunately, there are not many such cliffs. After walking for about one kilometer, the mountain has turned several turns. In front of the mountain, we saw a small lake.Although the water of the lake is a bit clear and shallow, it is still rippling with blue waves. Looking up, I can see the green pines and verdant forests on the mountain, and there are no wooden stakes or coffins.

Everyone felt relieved, and when they walked closer, they saw that there were many caves on the cliff at the top. There were five rows of these, with five coffins in each row, arranged in caves of different sizes.Seeing the coffin array here, I counted it again, and after confirming that it was twenty-five, I couldn't help feeling suspicious.There were sixteen on the cliff just now, and twenty-five here. Could it be that the coffins here are placed in a rectangular shape according to the square of the number of digits?How come you haven't heard of this placement?Qiu Han also seemed to see this problem, he said: "It seems that this arrangement has not been recorded in the books."

I nodded and said, "Yes, I don't even know about this nation until here. I have read a lot of geographers, and I know about Loulan, Jingjue, and Dawan, but I have never heard of this nation. I guess, this must be a nation that has been erased by history!" Tang Yong nodded and said: "The Fengshui conditions here are much better than before. It is close to the mountains and rivers, close to the kingdom of heaven." Everyone looked at the cliff, and every coffin was on the cliff. Among the cliffs.But after arguing for half an hour, none of the plans was enough to convince the public.

Qiu Han said: "When my ancestor was traveling in the southwest, he passed by Chongqing. He wrote in the manuscript that there are many hanging coffins in Chongqing, scattered on the cliffs, but no one knows how they were sent into the cliff cave." Before that, I read some materials about hanging coffins.Regarding the method of placing the hanging coffin, someone once said that, first pile up the soil at the foot of the mountain, wait for the coffin to be placed on the cliff, and then remove the soil. This is the soil-piling method.Some people also believe that building wooden piles, building plank roads, and taking down the wooden piles after the hanging coffins are transported into the tomb is the method of plank roads.Some people also said that a hanging wheel was built on the top of the cliff, and then people were hoisted into the cave cliff first, and then the coffin was pulled into the cave cliff by people.

Regarding the method of piled soil, due to the difficulty of obtaining soil, there are many rivers under the hanging coffin, so this statement is unrealistic and was quickly abandoned; as for the plank road method, most people believe it, and now many hanging coffins and cliff burials can still be seen Lots of stake holes.For convenience, after these people built a wooden pile, they stacked several coffins in one place to save manpower, which is why we see many coffins stacked together.The last one is the hanging wheel method. This statement has also been questioned, because under the ancient productivity, there is nowhere to place such a hanging wheel.

Although these mysteries troubled our hearts, we were not overly surprised because everyone had seen hanging coffins in Furong Mountain.We looked at our watch, it was getting late now, and everyone had to leave before dark, so we couldn't stay here.Just because the weather is too gloomy, we feel more and more hot.It would be fine if the sun only came out, but now it is hot and dry, which is unbearable.Several of Fei Biao's brothers were shirtless, and Da Xiong also lifted his clothes, revealing his unfathomable belly button. After everyone walked through a section of winding mountain road, the mountain road turned up.It's just that the road is getting steeper and steeper, and in the end it can only be passed sideways.After walking like this for less than 20 minutes, we came to a flat land. The left side of this flat land was a cliff, and the right side was as empty as a stadium, which was very open.

Tang Yong said: "This should be the top of a small mountain. In comparison, except for the cliff that I passed just now, this place is considered high." Although Tang Yong said so, the mountain has already reached the place where twenty-five coffins appeared just now. Kilometers away, if this is flat land, where should the group of hanging coffins be?Is it right under our feet? Although thinking that way in my heart, I still followed the crowd and walked forward.After leaving this hill, the mountain road began to flatten out again.Just happy to have a good road, but it started to rain.Although the rain came quickly, everyone was mentally prepared. The dull weather just now was a precursor to heavy rain.There is a popular proverb in the southwestern area, "there is no three miles of flat land, and no three sunny days in the sky". In such a rainy season, it is normal to have rain.

But now there is a question, where should we go to hide from the rain? There are mountains everywhere here, and there is no shelter, and we have nowhere to hide from the rain.It doesn't matter if the clothes get wet, but the food, guns and ammunition in the bag can't stand the moisture.Just when he was worrying, Feibiao's second younger brother, Tiger, suddenly pointed to the front and shouted: "Look, there is a cave over there, let's go in and hide from the rain." Following the direction Tiger pointed, they saw a man about 100 meters tall. The cave is half a meter and three meters wide, but because of the shade of the trees, the cave is not really visible.

Seeing the entrance of the cave, everyone stopped discussing and went straight to the cave.The hole does not go straight, but goes down. We seem to be standing on the chimney of the roof, but there is no ladder in this hole, and we have to step on thick stones to walk in.At this time, there was a heavy rain outside, and the rain had the tendency of a strong wind to sweep the mountain. In the distance, dark clouds surrounded the mountain, and it seemed to flatten the mountain.The pine trees on the mountain were also smashed into a ball by the strong wind, and they swayed and swayed under the strong wind and rain.Although there is no lightning in this rain, it is a rare horror in my life. Tang Yong said: "Everyone, go inside quickly, we are at a relatively high altitude, and lightning may be right in front of our eyes." Hearing Tang Yong's words, everyone's faces were full of fear, and before they knew it, they had already reached the depths of the cave . Suddenly, someone behind him shouted "Who?" Everyone turned around, only to see a gray shadow flash past and disappear into the cave.Since everyone didn't turn on the flashlights, they couldn't see the situation in the cave clearly. They just felt that what they saw just now was not real, and they didn't know if it was their own visual errors.Everyone turned on their flashlights one after another and took photos into the depths of the cave, only to see that the cave was extremely empty, as if the entire mountain had been hollowed out. In order not to be harmed by potential dangers, Fei Biao arranged for several brothers to guard in the cave.However, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't take long for the flood to flow into the cave like a flood, and it seemed that we were about to lose our standing.Right now, we can only go deep into the cave, but everyone is frightened by the shadow just now and dare not move. Uncle Wu is a prudent person. He said: "The shadow just now is an extremely dangerous precursor. In my opinion, everyone can find a place where they can stand. When the heavy rain stops for a while, we will start from the main road. , there is a chance of winning." At this time, Fei Biao said: "In my opinion, I might as well rush in. If there are any ghosts, we will all go in one shuttle. If there are any ghosts, we have a vote, and maybe we can find some treasures. If No, we were the ones scaring ourselves just now. Now we are blocking here, submerged in water, without any manly demeanor." Although what Fei Biao said was a bit unreasonable, it was not unreasonable.In the cave, no matter whether there are or not, at least it means that we are also here to rob the tomb, and we are always outside, so we can’t be regarded as uncles.Since this area belongs to the burial area everywhere, there is work everywhere, and now I can't go outside, so I will walk in the cave.At that moment, Qiu Han and I expressed our support for Fei Biao's idea, and Fei Biao's subordinates also asked to enter the cave. Seeing that everyone wanted to enter the cave, Tang Yong said: "It's fine to enter the cave, but I suggest that everyone eat something first. It's already past one o'clock, and everyone is tired after walking all morning. Eat something to build up your strength." Tang Yong's suggestion was not bad, and everyone took out the leftover barbecue from the morning, drank water, and walked into the depths of the cave noisily. Although everyone was a little scared when they saw a gray shadow just now, but there are many people and strength, and when everyone gathers together, they are much more courageous.As rainwater had seeped into the cave, the ground inside the cave was extremely slippery at this time.Everyone walked forward cautiously, but saw that the hole became deeper as it went down.When they got to the bottom of the cave, everyone found that the cave was not only deep, but also very long. When they saw it with a flashlight, they saw that the inside of the cave looked like an extremely long hall, and all of them were stalactites.These stalactites have different shapes, some of which protrude from a thin small stone pole, and some are stacked like seashells, with various postures.The cave is undulating, the highest point is as high as 100 meters, and the lowest point is also 10 meters, which is unusually wide.Looking from a distance, it looks like a cloister palace, and looking up close, it looks like exquisite handicrafts. When everyone saw this stalactite cave, they all praised the wonderful scenery here.If it hadn't been raining into this cave, who would have known about this fairyland on earth.Nature really knows how to create things, but it's a pity that this cave is deep in the mountains, otherwise the world can let the world see the wonders of this cave.I once heard from my uncle that there is a huge karst cave in Zhijin County, Bijie, Guizhou. It is called Daji Cave. scale. Seeing this, everyone understood why the Boren king chose this place as his mausoleum.However, it seems that there is still some distance from the mausoleum of the Boren King, and the sight in front of him is so spectacular. I really don't know what the mausoleum of the Boren King will look like. At this time, Qiu Han flashed the flashlight and shouted: "Look there!" Everyone followed the flashlight and saw the gray shadow again.At this time, I heard Da Xiong say: "These things don't play cards according to the procedure, and they come out in broad daylight to be scary, and they don't sleep." After Da Xiong finished speaking, he looked at Hu Songshan beside him, and saw that Hu Songshan was observing the teacup-like thing next to him. Stone.Da Kuma thought that such a little humor would make Hu Songshan laugh, but Hu Songshan didn't seem to hear it. Seeing that the gray shadow disappeared into the cave, everyone chased after it.But that gray shadow was running too fast, and we were not familiar with the terrain here, so we couldn't catch up with him.But the strange thing is that whenever we can't catch up, that gray shadow will appear again, as if waiting for us. At this time, I remembered the situation where several brothers of Fei Biao went to chase the little ghost last night. Those people always kept a distance of about 20 meters from the little ghost carrying the ingot.Judging from the scene last night, these things didn't deliberately hide from strangers, but deliberately led people into the trap.I wanted to stop everyone, but everyone had already left me, only my cousin Qiu Han and Hu Songshan were not far away, and even my fifth uncle followed. Seeing that the main force had already left, and none of us could be left alone, we quickened our pace immediately.Since there was a flashlight as a guide, we would not get lost, and we quickly caught up.But when they caught up, everyone never saw the gray shadow again, but they saw some light on the side of the cave.Everyone walked towards the light, but saw the cliff where it was raining outside. Everyone was overjoyed, unexpectedly this place turned out to be a cliff cave.So everyone rushed to the entrance of the cave one after another, but when they got to the entrance of the cave, they discovered that there was a wooden coffin one meter away from the entrance of the cave.Everyone felt chills down their spines. Could it be that Gray Shadow guided us here just to let us see this coffin? But I saw that this coffin was about two meters long and ninety centimeters in diameter, and it was made of a big tree.The upper part of the tree is first cut to form the coffin cover, and then the lower part is hollowed out to form the theme of the coffin for the corpse to be buried.There are no funerary objects outside the coffin, and the surrounding area is also very clean.Everyone remembered that the coffin was found strangely, so they didn't dare to approach it. At this time, a person behind shouted: "Look, there are more here." Everyone immediately ran to the place pointed by the person, and saw that there were two coffins there, which looked exactly the same as the coffins just now. Tang Yong said: "I asked why there should have been a batch of coffins here just now, why didn't they appear? It turned out that they were placed at the bottom of the mountain." I asked, "Why do you say this is under the mountain?" Tang Yong replied: "The bottom of the mountain is relative. We always go up and never go down. Therefore, we have reached the top of the mountain. Since we were at the top of the mountain just now and now we are in the cave, of course we say that this is the bottom of the mountain. But If you compare it to the bottom of the cliff, these hanging coffins are on the mountain.” After Tang Yong finished speaking, he walked towards the edge of the cliff cave, looked down, and saw wooden piles of the same size scattered under the cliff. coffin. Suddenly someone next to him screamed: "Ah, blood, it's not good, there is bleeding in the coffin." Everyone immediately ran towards the direction of the sound, only to see blood dripping from the lower right corner of a coffin nearby.Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, but they saw Fei Biao picked up the submachine gun, and he fired at the coffin, finishing a magazine in an instant.Due to the strong lethality of the bullets, there was a buzzing sound in the coffin, and more and more blood flowed, until finally the entire ground around the coffin was covered with blood.The strong wind outside the cave kept blowing into the cliff cave, and the smell of blood surrounded the entire cave. Tang Yong said: "No, there is something inside." I thought in my heart that I would not cheat the corpse in broad daylight. In such a place exposed to wind and sun, it is impossible for the corpse not to rot. At this time, Big Bear shouted: "Everyone, step back and look at me." Big Bear took out a grenade from his back waist, pulled the ring, and threw it under the coffin. Seeing that Big Bear was about to throw a bomb, everyone hid in the distance.With a bang, the coffin was blown into pieces, and it was no longer possible to tell what was inside the coffin.Looking at the cliff wall in the cave, apart from some scattered residues of coffin boards, there are also some bloodstains and pieces of meat. These pieces of meat are torn on the wall, which looks very disgusting. Fei Biao stood in the distance, looked at the ground, and said, "Why is there a pig's head here?" Everyone looked at where Fei Biao was, and they saw a black wild boar's head lying under his feet.The broken neck of the wild boar's head was obviously torn by the powerful blasting force, and blood was everywhere around it. Everyone was surprised and wondered why there was a pig's head here. Could it be that there was a pig in the coffin just now?If it is a pig, then there are more problems. How did this pig get put in?Could it be that a dead person turned into a live wild boar? At this moment, there was a croaking sound outside the mountain, and the sound became louder and louder from near to far.Everyone looked outside immediately, only to see a large area of ​​darkness outside, covering the sky and covering the sun, attacking the entrance of the cave. Tang Yong said: "Run, this is a crow." Fei Biao didn't see the crow at that time. He saw everyone running towards the depths of the cave, and cursed: "Why are you running? It's just a crow." But before he finished speaking, he saw a large group of crows like black sea waves Usually, they come to the cliff against the storm. Fei Biao was obviously frightened by the scene in front of him, he immediately withdrew into the cave, shouting as he ran, "Where are there so many crows?" The speed of these crows was really fast, and before everyone had time to go far, the crows rushed into the cave, the entire entrance of the cave was pitch black, and the cave cliff became much darker in an instant.Seeing the crow pecking at the wild meat in the cliff cave, Fei Biao continued to scold, "That gray shadow brought us here just to see this?" At this moment, everyone remembered that that gray shadow hadn't appeared for a long time. . However, there was very little pork scattered, and the crows that didn't grab the food quickly rushed towards us.And there are too many crows like this. Although we have guns, we still can't stop the crows from attacking.The crows were extremely fast, and their claws were extremely sharp. Everyone couldn't avoid them, so they had to shine their flashlights on them.Due to the strong light of the flashlight, these crows did not dare to approach them head-on. They intended to go around behind us and start a sneak attack.Seeing the crows jumping forward and back, everyone formed a group of three or five, with their backs close to their backs, to prevent the crows from attacking.Seeing that there was nothing to take advantage of, the crow had no choice but to hover in mid-air, croaking continuously. At this time, the crows at the entrance of the cave also surrounded them because they had finished eating pork, and the number of crows increased again.Hu Songshan shouted: "There is a hole down here, everyone, come in quickly." After hearing this, everyone immediately got into the hole on the ground that Hu Songshan pointed out. Since crows are not good at burrowing, when we entered the underground hole, there were fewer crows.Everyone walked down the back of the cave, but they saw that the cave was bottomless.Since they couldn't go back to the entrance of the cave, they had no choice but to walk into the cave.This cave is also a stalactite cave, but it is not related to the previous cave.The orientation of this cave is in the shape of a cross with the stalactite cave on the upper floor, and it is inclined at 30 degrees downwards. Everyone thinks that they are going underground. After walking for about two hours, everyone felt that the surroundings were icy cold.Because there is no sunlight underground and the air is thin, everyone feels like they have come to the Palace of the King of Hades.In addition, they couldn't see the exit, and everyone panicked.When I was hesitating whether to turn back, I, who was walking ahead, saw a light. I shouted to everyone: "Look there, there seems to be a light." This is undoubtedly good news for everyone, which means that the two-hour trek has finally come to fruition.Everyone quickened their pace, and sure enough they found the entrance of the cave ahead.This hole is not big, and the terrain is a bit higher than the surrounding area.Outside the entrance of the cave is a low-lying valley, which seems to be a sinkhole.They strode out of the entrance of the cave, turned around at the tiankeng, and saw behind them a mountain with a height of 2,000 meters. It turned out that everyone walked from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. After leaving the cave, everyone felt very comfortable.At this time, the rain had stopped, and night was about to fall. I looked at my watch, and the time was already 6:30 in the afternoon.Unexpectedly, after staying in the cave for so long, looking at the crowd, everyone's faces are full of tiredness. Fei Biao said: "Everyone is in the valley now, but it's impossible to go out and go back to Wuligou. I suggest that we rest here and set up tents here." Everyone responded one after another, saying that they had already walked for a day, and they would not I would like to go one step further.Tang Yong said no, he thought it was too close to the hanging coffin, and something would happen at night.Everyone needs to live far away. Fei Biao said: "The mountain road here is winding and winding, we don't know where we are, how can we get out?" After everyone thought about it, Fei Biao's words made sense.There is no sun here, and it is difficult to tell the direction in the mountains. I don't know if it is in the tomb area. If you go further, you may go deeper into the tomb area. At that moment, everyone took out the sleeping bags in their backpacks, and because they dared not sleep in the cave, they all prepared to camp in the valley.Fortunately, everyone is used to this way of sleeping, but now everyone can't hunt, because now not only can't find animals, but also can't make a fire. The weather was cloudy and rainy, it got dark early, and the sky was soon covered with ink.Because there was no bonfire, everyone couldn't sit and barbecue together, and after a day of exhaustion, everyone didn't have the energy to chat, so they all fell asleep. Although I am also very tired, but watching everyone fall asleep, I still have trouble falling asleep.Lying in my sleeping bag, I saw the big mountains and short trees outside, and remembered the scene of the pavilion and the wedding on the mountain last night.The scenes of the past kept coming to mind in the quiet night, and it repeated like a nightmare, making it difficult to fall asleep. However, this also made me wary of the outside world. I felt that Qiu Han and Uncle Wu were also in a state of vigilance. They had been sleeping on both sides of me, but until ten o'clock at night, I didn't hear them sound asleep. grunting. Suddenly, I saw a bright light in the distance of the deep valley, which reflected a large area and slowly illuminated the entire valley.Then came the voices of people, bustling, mixed with the sound of selling, bargaining, and the clang of iron.I couldn't help being curious, and looked into the distance, only to see people and horses bustling in the distance, houses and streets were all available, just like a street. Could it be that when the living get off work, these dead people are going to go to work?At this time, I heard someone call me: "Brother, brother!" I looked back, but saw Qiu Han sitting up.I put my index finger to my mouth to signal him not to speak.At the same time, the others sat up straight, motionless, and looked into the distance quietly. I clearly remember that there is an empty grassland in front of me. These sudden figures must be just like the pavilions and sedan chairs last night, they are all illusions.Everyone looked at it for a while, and then heard Tang Yong whisper: "Brothers, we must not rush in so easily this time, no matter what happens there, let's not get close." After Tang Yong finished speaking, he saw a group of people appearing in the downtown area, and they drove towards here in a carriage.Everyone was shocked, could it be that these people discovered us?Unexpectedly, the carriage was getting closer and closer to us. On the small road 20 meters away from everyone, we encountered a puddle and a box fell from the carriage.After the box fell to the ground, the lid of the box was shaken open, and objects were scattered from inside. Everyone saw that it was a box of gold, silver and jewelry. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, even Da Xiong and Qiu Han were a little moved.But looking at Fei Biao's subordinates again, he saw that they stood still, turning a blind eye to the scene in front of them.It seems that after the painful lesson last night, these people have become as hard as a stone. It may be that the person in the carriage noticed that he had dropped a box of things, and the carriage was pulled back again.When the carriage arrived at the place where the boxes were scattered, two people alighted from the carriage. They picked up the gold and silver scattered on the ground calmly, and then drove the carriage to the mountains. Just when I was overwhelmed by the hearts and bearings of everyone, a group of people appeared in the downtown area.These people looked like officers and soldiers, with whips in their hands, driving away a few people with handshakes and shackles.Because the distance was too far, the driven people could not be seen clearly, but they could only be seen whipping them with whips every step they took.When they got closer from a distance, everyone could clearly see that the people who were chased away were actually those brothers who died of Fei Biao last night.
