Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Robber Tomb Badger

Double pupils?What are double pupils?It's the first time I've heard this term when I grow up so big.In the evening, I went back to the dormitory and checked the double pupils online. I searched on Baidu. The most related thing about double pupils was a horror movie of the same name in Taiwan. Fairy Tale.And its methods are extremely terrifying and creepy.But the only thing I am interested in is what the film says about double pupils, that is, double pupils are the basic element of becoming a fairy, and people with double pupils can become immortals more easily than others.After watching this movie, there is nothing else to gain except that it is more frightening.

Double pupils are two pupils in one eye - a more authoritative answer is given on a webpage.I looked in the mirror for a long time, and apart from seeing bloodshot eyeballs due to excessive shock, I didn't see any difference between my eyes and other people's eyes at all.I pressed a buddy in the dormitory to look at his eyes for a long time, and the conclusion was that they were exactly the same as mine.Then I am neither double pupil nor a monster. But why does Lao Zhong say that I have double pupils? I called my grandpa back home.Grandpa is old and used to going to bed early and getting up early, so the phone rang several times before he got through.Compared with the rationality and strictness of my parents, I can still get along with this old urchin who is full of "myths".On the phone, I described in detail the process before and after I met Lao Zhong, and then asked him if he knew there was such a person.He laughed after hearing it, and said that kid still remembers me now, he counts as my year-end friend.I felt a little more at ease, as long as my grandfather knew him, some of the things he said would be somewhat credible.I carefully repeated the story told by Old Zhong, and waited for Grandpa's reaction.As a result, he sighed and said that it was all in the past, and then there was no more content.It seems that the stories about the family are also inseparable.Then I said that Lao Zhong wanted me to help him with his work. Grandpa pondered for a while and said that as long as you have time to learn something from him, there is no harm.Hearing what the old man said, I felt confident.

At the end of hanging up the phone, I pretended to ask casually: "Grandpa, what are double pupils?" There was no sound on the phone for a long while, and suddenly he reacted and said, "Shuangtong, who is Shuangtong?" I hesitated for a moment: "Old Zhong told me that I have double pupils!" "You bastard!" Grandpa cursed in a low voice, "What else did he say?" "He asked me to listen to someone's footsteps." I could hear that Grandpa's voice was a little different. "Do you want you to listen to the footsteps of a person with a thin face who looks like he hasn't woken up?" Grandpa asked nervously.

"Yes." I wonder how the old man knows so clearly. "Oh! The descendants of Lao Tian's family are also helping him!" Grandpa sighed. "But that person's surname is Miao!" I retorted. "Well, I got it! You tell Xiao Zhong that my grandson will no longer deal with those bleak things, let him find someone else!" Grandpa's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees, and he opposed me helping the old man. The clock is busy, this sudden change made me confused. "Then tell me, old man, what are double pupils?" I continued to beg him. Who knew that the old naughty boy yawned immediately after hearing this sentence, saying that it was too late, and if he didn't go to bed, he wouldn't be able to wake up for morning exercises tomorrow morning, and then hung up the phone directly.In addition to confirming with him what I already knew from Lao Zhong, I added a few more questions: How could Lao Miao be a descendant of Laotian in Xiangxi?The double pupil is definitely not as explained on the Internet, so what is it?What exactly does Lao Zhong want me to do?

I looked at my watch, it was only 8:30, and I thought to myself, why not go to what Old Zhong called the Tomb of King Han.Since he said that I have double pupils, maybe I can make new discoveries than others.Pulling the students who were playing World of Warcraft in the dormitory one by one: "Who will go on an adventure with me?" "You are sick, what dangers are there on campus!" "You are wrong, he wants to go to the live show of other couples!" "Don't be disgusting, I think he is a voyeur!" "Then who, stop it quickly, the enemy is going to copy it!"

"Didn't you see that I was pulling soldiers?" "Look at your hands are as slow as pig's feet! Micro-manipulation, micro-manipulation, understand?" I shook my head, looked at a few guys who didn't look back, picked up a handy flashlight, and went straight to Yufuzizhong. The tomb of the fisherman and his son is located between the east and west areas of the school. It is two towering mounds, one large and one small. Legend has it that they are two ancient tombs in the Spring and Autumn Period. Today, the large one has an octagonal pavilion on it, with a gossip in the middle, and the small one. One of the flagpoles is now full of flagpoles.Legend has it that Wu Zixu, a general of the State of Chu, came to Xinzheng with his troops and wanted to destroy the capital of Zheng. At this time, the father and son of the fishermen who were kind to Wu Zixu offered to save each other with righteous words. Bitterness, after the death of his father and son, the common people were grateful for their kindness, built soil as a tomb, and buried the fisherman and his son in it, so it was called the tomb of the fisherman and his son.This is almost a well-known story at SIAS.

However, from an archaeological point of view, this is clearly a king's tomb, where the king's death is buried in the tomb, the scholar's death is buried in the tomb, the saint is buried in the forest, and the people's death is buried in the tomb.This is all very particular. I usually listen to my grandfather talk a lot in my hometown, and I have some common sense. Coupled with what Lao Zhong said in the office, I am fully sure that the fisherman’s tomb is what Lao Zhong called the Han King’s tomb, and that It is definitely not an ordinary official tomb. If it is a royal tomb, there must be an underground palace underneath.

Using the flashlight, I made two big circles around the fisherman's tomb, but found nothing.I stood in the pavilion and listened to it for a long time, and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see why.However, all royal tombs have underground palaces, it's not that I can't find them, it must be that my location is wrong.Turning around, I just saw the bright moonlight just shining on the teaching building, and my heart moved, maybe I could see it more clearly if I changed my position. It happened to be the sixteenth today, and the moonlight was just right. When I ran to the sixth floor out of breath, the moonlight just shone on the glass upstairs.Through the silver-white light reflected by the glass, I looked at the two mounds again, and something different appeared.There are two black shadows in the upper middle position, which are obviously inconsistent with the surrounding colors.I ran down from the sixth floor like flying, and just climbed up the larger tomb, before I could stand still, I heard a faint voice saying: "I caught you, let's see how you deny it!" I turned my head , a pale and haggard face appeared behind me.

My head suddenly became bigger and bigger, it was just too scary.Just when you are concentrating on observing something, suddenly a person appears behind you silently, that feeling makes people explode from the root of hair.Instinctively, I elbowed the face behind me as soon as I turned around.Unexpectedly, my arms were grabbed by a pair of iron claws, and I broke out in sweat.Just when I was about to shout for help, a familiar voice whispered in my ear: "Don't say anything, it's me!" It was clearly the voice of the old clock. I was startled and at the same time came back to my senses. Only then did I realize that there were two people standing behind me. I am confused by the old clock who is at a loss.It turned out that the dark shadows I saw upstairs were the two of them, which somewhat discouraged my desire to hunt for treasures.

Isn't Lao Zhong drunk?Why did it suddenly appear here again?Even for archaeological exploration, you can come during the day, there is no need to come here at night.With doubts in my heart, I wanted to struggle to get out of Lao Miao's hands.Old Zhong suddenly put his finger to his mouth: "Hush, did you hear the sound?" I looked at him in surprise, and listened carefully for a while, except for a few crickets chirping, and the sound of someone fighting in the distance. did not hear.On the contrary, Lao Miao listened carefully for a while, then nodded: "It should be around here!"

Lao Zhong turned his head and used a gesture to warn me to keep quiet, then he and Lao Miao carefully started searching.I followed the two of them curiously, seeing them like two children hunting for treasure in the grass.After a while, I heard Lao Miao say that he was here.Lao Zhong hurried over, and I followed closely. Not far from the bamboo forest on the right side of the stairs, the two of them settled down and began to look around, talking about "landslide", "tomb passage" and "entrance".The few words caught by my ears made me excited. Could it be that these two old guys came here in the middle of the night to dig graves? "What tomb passage? Where is it?" I was so excited that my voice trembled a little, Lao Zhong turned around and gave me a hard look, and gave me a sign to shut up.I saw Lao Miao carefully pushing aside a large pile of lush weeds in front of the two of them. Under the bright moonlight, a small hole about one palm high appeared behind the weeds. "Burrow!" I yelled out in surprise.Old Zhong couldn't bear it any longer, he turned his head and gave me a slap on the head: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, who can sneak in from such a small robbery hole and watch people from below, don't let people disturb it!" "Disturbance?" My mind started to move rapidly, could it be a living thing?Could it be the white-haired old zombie?While thinking wildly in his mind, he took a few steps back and watched their actions.Both Lao Miao and Lao Zhong held their breath and slowly squatted in front of the cave entrance, while Lao Miao made a strange posture and slanted over the cave entrance.Old Zhong searched in the grass for a while, blocked a few small openings with the plastic in his pocket, and then made a gesture.When Lao Miao saw it, he took out something from his pocket, lit it with a match, and threw it down the hole. After a while, he smelled a pungent smell of sulfur mixed with realgar saltpeter.Lao Miao resumed his strange posture, and the two of them stared at the cave entrance without saying a word. This scene gave people a strange feeling, two unsmiling guys, facing a hole the size of a volleyball in a strange posture, silently.The silvery moonlight flowed on them like mercury, and the hustle and bustle of the surrounding classrooms and dormitories seemed to be frozen outside this big mound.At this time, there seemed to be some noise, and the two became visibly nervous.The untimely thing finally happened. There were one or two teasing voices vaguely along the path in the bamboo forest. It was obvious that a couple had come to fool around in the depths of the bamboo forest. "Dogs and men and women!" Angrily scolded, I realized that my task was to block the road below to prevent people from entering.But it was too late at this time, I only saw Lao Zhong making an angry gesture at me.Then came a scene that horrified me.A black shadow suddenly flew out of the hole in front of the old Miao. Under the white moonlight, an animal that was bigger than a cat and smaller than a dog rushed towards the old Miao with lightning speed.When Lao Miao was about to pinch it firmly, the most unwilling scene happened. Before I could stop them, the young couple below me screamed in high decibels... Three stills under the moonlight A living creature suddenly appeared among the people, and the scene was quite strange. As if the animal flying in the air had been reminded, it suddenly turned and came straight to me. "Turn in the air!" I looked at this mysterious guy in amazement.Before I had time to surprise me, the little animal had already approached.Involuntarily, as soon as I stretched out my hand, I grabbed it.At the same time, Lao Zhong and Lao Miao made a voice at the same time: "No!" But it was too late, and I felt a sharp pain in the back of my right hand.The two rushed up at the same time, but the little animal was also very alert. After biting me, it quickly fell to the ground and jumped out like an arrow. Without saying a word, Lao Miao quickly followed, and saw the little animal go through the grove, jump across the basketball court, cross the road, jump over the fence, and escape like flying.What's even more surprising is that Lao Miao's speed is not inferior to it at all, and he even pursues it closely. Even I am amazed by the skill he showed when he climbed over the wall.One thing and one person quickly disappeared before my eyes, and I was still stretching out my bleeding hand in a daze.Old Zhong looked at my wound anxiously, and scolded: "You bastard, didn't you tell you to watch from below? Who told you to come up and show off?" Some powder was poured out of a bottle of something and sprinkled on the back of my hand. After a while of coolness, there was a burst of heartache.I was in so much pain that I was lifted over the wall by him, only to hear him jump over with a plop.As soon as I hit the ground, my foot crooked and fell to the ground.Lao Zhong thought I had fainted, so he immediately helped me up nervously, and ran forward without stopping.As I ran, I felt more and more dizzy, and the scene in front of me began to blur. Suddenly, a group of people with lanterns came forward from a distance. Armored warriors with double-edged bronze swords closely guarded a nobleman with a sword. In front of the group was a group of ragged prisoners.Some of the prisoners wore tattered armor, and some wore iron plate armor.They stood not far away and suddenly stopped. The nobleman in the middle roared, and the warriors suddenly drew their swords and chopped off the head of the prisoner in front of them.A warrior with a sword pulled a jade pendant from the fallen warrior, and reported something to the master in surprise.At this time, one of the prisoners suddenly jumped up and ran towards me, while the nobleman took off an iron crossbow, and the bronze arrowhead pierced through the escaped prisoners with the sound of the wind, and pierced straight into my body. I was startled, sweating, and woke up suddenly, and found myself lying in a ward with fluids on my body.It turned out that it was just a dream.Look out the window, the sun is setting, it is already afternoon.I tried to sit up, but found that my arms were firmly fixed on the hospital bed. Just as I was about to call someone, I heard someone talking outside. "Fortunately, I caught it, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to explain to Lao Lou!" A voice I was familiar with said happily. "This kid is also a fortune teller. After the tomb badger bit him, he couldn't run for a long distance, or it would be really hard to catch him!" Although I am not familiar with it, I know it must be that The unsmiling old Miao. "I'm hungry!" I yelled angrily.At this time, two people walked in hastily.Old Zhong looked left and right at me, which made me feel scared.I announced loudly to them: "I want to eat!" On the street, barbecue stalls.After I wolfed down my fifteenth mutton kebab and drank another glass of beer, Lao Zhong and Lao Miao looked at each other and asked with great interest, "Are you full?" I burped: "Reluctantly!" "Did you feel dizzy?" Old Zhong asked.I shake my head. "Then is there anything else shaking in front of me?" I continued to shake my head. They exchanged a look of disbelief. "Do you know how long you were unconscious?" I still shook my head. "Then do you know what you were bitten by?" I looked at them eagerly while shaking my head: "What is that?" Old Zhong looked at me suspiciously: "Your grandfather really didn't let you see this thing, and didn't let you take any pills to prevent it from biting?" "No, I don't know what it is!" I still have a straightforward expression. Old Zhong sighed: "This thing used to be the pet of tomb robbers, and we all called it the tomb badger. Its teeth are highly poisonous, can cause hallucinations, and cause neurotoxicity. If it bites you, it will last for a quarter of an hour. You must die within!" I looked at the wound on my hand and gasped. It turns out that bandits have their ways, and thieves have their rules.Even the most shameful tomb robbers are divided into various genres and categories.However, because the tomb robbery is too disgusting, most of them are family handed down crafts.And each family also has its own secrets that are not passed on. For example, the family of shadow puppetry in Kaifeng was originally from a family of shadow puppetry and was one of the earliest tomb-robbing families. They still follow the oldest tomb-robbing ceremony and only rob wet tombs.In the tomb robbery business, tombs can be divided into wet tombs and dry tombs. Wet tombs are tombs that have just been buried and the corpses have not yet fully decomposed, while dry tombs are ancient tombs that have been turned into bones.Shadow puppeteers need three prostrations and nine kowtows to salute descendants, then drink strong wine in their mouths, connect the back neck of the corpse with their own with a white cloth, bring the corpse up face to face, and then gently touch the corpse with their hands. Funeral objects all over the body.It is said that spirits can prevent the intrusion of yin qi, and human yang qi can prevent new corpses from undergoing necropsy.Later, the shadow puppet family felt that it was too scary to face the dead body, so an ancestor of the tomb robber made a shadow puppet from a black dog skin to replace himself, and he touched the funeral objects beside him. He mastered the unpredictable secret technique of manipulating puppets, and became a masterpiece in the tomb robbery. Similarly, the Lu family of Juzimen in Shanxi is good at excavation and clavicle surgery. After determining the location of a tomb, they will open a robbery hole that is half smaller than usual, so small that only cats and dogs can get in. Some people rely on the collarbone technique they have practiced since they were young to continuously shake their bodies, shrink their bodies to one-third of their original size, and then sneak into the tomb along the robber's hole. It is hard to imagine that this is a robbery hole.The matter of tomb robbery is originally wandering on the edge of morality.Many tomb robbers are just looking for money. Some tomb robbers are not a family combination. They often go down and guard the other person outside. After the person below hangs the treasure through the basket, the person above often sees the money and seals the entrance of the robbery hole. , smothering the person below to death inside.This also explains why tomb robbers are often found dead at archaeological sites in later generations.At the same time, many ancient tombs are filled with mercury or painted with cinnabar, often with many traps, which is very dangerous, so some people began to raise some animals to replace or accompany them to the ancient tombs, and took out those funerary objects.Tomb badgers are the first choice for domestication due to their innate home to graves, familiar with the smell of corpses and their unique spirituality.So the Pan family in Longxi used tomb beasts to hunt for treasures and became an outlier among the tomb robbers.Due to the age of some ancient tombs, the surrounding terrain or landslides or river shifts, the exact location of the tombs cannot be found with traditional star-gazing and feng shui techniques.But those tomb badgers who lived in the tomb all the year round were able to find the location of the ancient tomb miraculously. After dinner, it was already dark.Knowing that Lao Zhong and the others have caught the tomb badger, I must ask to go and have a look.Old Zhong asked me, you have slept all day from yesterday to now, don't you need to go to class?I thought to myself, I have seen so many rare things in the past two days.Thinking about these two days, except for the two oral English lessons that are more important, there are really no other lessons.So I took out my mobile phone and dialed the number of my buddy who is a foreign teacher, and the class was settled in one click. Lao Zhong and Lao Miao took me straight to the hospital, twisted and turned to an independent small building, in front of the building there were a few burly men hanging around, playing cards and checkers together in twos and threes.When I passed in front of them, I felt that the sharp eyes of several people swept over me, which made me feel like a light on my back. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw several doctors in white coats rushing over.A slightly older doctor saw the old clock coming in, and hurriedly pulled the old clock aside and muttered for a long time.I looked around curiously. It was obviously better than the normal ward, but I always felt something was wrong.Before I could figure out what was different, Lao Zhong came to me and looked me up and down, which made me feel hairy.I was about to ask him, but he beckoned over and several doctors forcibly took me away. Then came a series of tests, electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound, blood test, tossing for a long time.While waiting for the results, I sat with Lao Miao and looked depressedly at Lao Zhong who walked around me without saying a word. Finally I couldn't hold back any longer and asked Lao Zhong, "What happened?" Old Zhong stood still and looked at me, and said after a while, "Xiao Nie's condition has deteriorated!" Xiao Nie?Oh, it's Lao Miao's former partner. It seems that something happened and he was lying in the hospital just now. Doesn't it mean that it's nothing serious? Lao Miao, who didn't say a word, also suddenly said: "Xiao Nie was also bitten by a tomb badger, but we caught that tomb badger at that time, and took its blood and applied it to Xiao Nie. Normally, it should be It's all right, but Xiao Nie is now in a severe coma, and her body is starting to fester." It turns out that although the toxin on the badger's teeth is highly poisonous, the blood of the badger is a good antidote. As long as you catch the badger after the bite, take blood and apply it to the wound, the toxin will be pulled out, and the patient will sleep for a day or less. Back to normal in two days.But this time, after sleeping for two days, Xiao Nie's condition suddenly deteriorated. Not only did he have a high fever, but his scaly skin began to fall off. I was also just bitten by a tomb badger, and I woke up after a day of coma, but why am I okay?Am I gifted?Am I invulnerable to all poisons?I started to be beautiful. While thinking wildly, a doctor hurried over and said to Lao Zhong, "A tomb badger is dead!" Lao Zhong and Lao Miao hurriedly followed the doctor to the laboratory, and I followed behind, feeling regretful in my heart: My God of Wealth, I still expected you to find one or two treasures in the ancient tomb for me, how could you? So let's go. Who knew that as soon as I entered the laboratory, I saw an iron cage on the table next to the door. In the cage, a small black-haired animal with two bright black eyes looked at me nervously. .As soon as I approached, it retreated anxiously towards the depths of the cage.I just wanted to say that this is not still alive, but I saw a black tomb badger in a cage at the back lying upright in the center of the cage, with two front teeth exposed, a trace of blood oozing from its mouth, just as the blood oozes out. Where it came from, a small gray mushroom grew crookedly, and the scene was extremely weird. The doctor let out a "huh" and said suspiciously: "I haven't seen this thing growing just now!" He stretched out his hand to pick it up. "Don't move!" Old Zhong yelled, making us all tremble in shock, "That's a dead body! Whoever touches it will die!" Everyone trembled and turned back to look at Old Zhong. Old Zhong looked nervously at the crooked little mushroom and remained silent for a while. When everyone was looking at each other, Old Zhong suddenly said to himself: "It seems , found the Warring States Golden Corpse!" When Lao Miao heard this, he also took two steps forward, and suddenly two flames ignited in his two cloudy eyes. The two people stared at a mushroom, and the doctor next to him didn't dare to show his air.I looked at the little mushroom curiously.The mushroom was less than five centimeters long, and it had a strange cap on it. The pattern on the cap was a bit distorted, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt it was wrong. The pattern on it looked like a smiling face, but the smile made people uncomfortable, like a clown Deliberately hanging the corners of his mouth.And the smile seems to move, the corners of the mouth are always upturned. I said a little excitedly, did you see, there is a face, and it can move.Old Zhong glanced at me and said, "This is Shisi Tan, also known as Jiuxiao Mushroom. The smiling face opens for four hours, closes for four hours, and turns into a sad face for the last hour. People who are bitten by a tomb badger really cannot be saved! They will become golden corpses, golden corpses of the Warring States Period." Lao Zhong deliberately emphasized the last four words, and then stared at my face tightly.He stared at me for a full two minutes, finally sighed and said, "Did your grandpa really not tell you how to cure this poison?" I shook my head innocently. Old Zhong seemed to be in disbelief: "Grandson has the natural talent of having two pupils, but he doesn't have..." He swallowed the rest of the sentence after speaking halfway. "What is a natural double pupil?" My curiosity was aroused, and I chased him and asked, "What is the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period? What is the corpse Qin? How did the tomb badger die?" Lao Zhong stood up impatiently, and waved his hand at me: "Time is running out, saving people is the most important thing, I don't have time to explain these things to you, I will let Lao Miao take you back, anyway, you are not our staff, nor Lao Lou. That kind of guts is nothing to put on a manly air, there is no need to take risks with us. If your grandpa asks you for your crimes in the future, I can't bear it." I was so fired up that it made me sound like a coward. "Who said I dare not go, don't look down on people, the more you refuse to let go, I will go with you! See what happens to you!" "Then you are willing to save people with us?" "Yes!" "Will you work with us?" "Yes!" "Okay, then you have to listen to our instructions at all times, and don't run around!" Lao Zhong laughed like a fox at Lao Miao at this time.
