Chapter 20 Chapter 19 Hanging Coffin Hole

I was taken aback and asked, "Special purpose? What purpose?" Long Shao said: "I think it has something to do with the legends of Nanling. In the murals of the main hall, we saw blood-soaked jade light balls, summoning something from the bottom of the valley. Look, these plank roads extend all the way to the bottom I don't know how deep it is, it is likely to serve those things, and this is probably the place for the sacrificial activities in the murals." I subconsciously looked down, not to mention that there is such a possibility, from the content of the previous mural, that kind of mysterious thing has a strong destructive power, but such a smooth and deep mountain wall, without the help of Certain clinging things can't come up unless they have wings and can fly up.

Long Shao continued: "The radiation range of these plank roads is really not small. It can be seen that this kind of sacrificial activity is of great significance to the Nanling people. It's just that I don't know what the Nanling people found under this." The area we are in belongs to the typical Danxia landform, located in the western Pacific seismic belt, with many volcanoes and earthquakes, and frequent geological movements.The appearance of such a large rift valley is actually not a particularly strange thing. I guess it may be the geological movement that caused the formation of the rift valley. Nanling people accidentally discovered some things that made them feel incredible underground, so they regarded them as gods Worship the same.

Ancient people were very superstitious, especially in areas with underdeveloped civilizations. When they found anything beyond their knowledge, awe and worship followed.But as far as we know so far, no one can guess the real scene at the bottom of the rift, but they just have a premonition that it will not be something fun. However, if the situation is really as Young Master Long said, this place is still serving the sacrifices, then there will definitely be places for sacrifices in the surrounding area, and the scale should be huge, otherwise I really feel sorry for the people of Nanling who are so up and down the cliff Big effort.

After a few people rested for a while, Ying Ge started to take the lead and left again. His skills were much better than ours, and he drove us away a lot in a short while. Although no one wanted to stay in this place for a long time, but Really weak legs, I swear this is the most fearful road I have walked in my life. After a while, I saw the eagle in front of us had stopped, signaling us to follow up, probably to save energy, he didn't shout loudly, but just kept waving at us.We were not as fast as him, and it took us a long time to keep up with him. Ying Ge was a little excited, and disappeared with a bow, and then suddenly poked his head out from the mountain wall.

I was shocked in my heart, does Ying Ge know the invincible wall piercing technique? How did he get into the cliff?I suspected that I was too tired to have hallucinations, and it was only when I looked at it again that I realized it.It turned out that there was a rectangular hole in the cliff, and Ying Ge had already got in and sat in the hole. I was also a little excited immediately, the hole is not small, it is five square meters square, the height is more than one meter, and the depth is even lying horizontally inside without any problem.This is undoubtedly the most rare favor for us who have already had numb legs and sore bodies. At last, the Nanling people are interesting enough, and finally have a temporary resting place.Not much to say, we got in one by one, lying on the cold stone floor, but at this moment we all felt indescribably happy.

Sanpao said: "My dear grandma! Hanging on the dead wood pile and blowing the wind for a few more minutes, I'm afraid I'll go down to be someone else's god. But I'm lucky enough to touch the place where people take a nap!" Ying Ge scanned the surroundings with a flashlight, and said to us: "There are such caves on the opposite side, and I'm afraid we will encounter many more along the way!" Seeing several similar cave entrances, I agree with what Ying Ge said, such caves will be distributed along the cliff. Such holes remind me of hanging coffin burials, also known as cliff burials. This kind of burial system is relatively common in some mountainous areas in Sichuan and Fujian. The famous hanging coffin burials in Wu Gorge and Wuyi, Fujian.The basic method of this kind of burial system is to dig a hole on the steep cliff, and then use a special method to lift the coffin to the hole and put it in.Because places where cliff burials occur usually have this kind of crossbar, so it is easy to remind people of hanging coffin burials. I don’t know if the Nanling people do this kind of thing.Strangely enough, the few holes we've found so far are empty.And on the whole, the arrangement of the cave entrances here is still very sparse, even if it is a cliff burial, it does not have a scale, but judging from the degree of fanfare of this project, I think it is very unreasonable, so I quickly looked at the cliff. The view of burial has been doubted.

Master Feng said: "These holes are relatively spacious, unlike ordinary hanging coffin holes, they should be specially dug out for people to rest!" Seeing that we didn’t quite understand, Mr. Feng explained: To build such a complex project requires a lot of manpower, and it is very difficult to work at heights. The craftsmen who work also need to rest, and various materials also need There is a place to put it.This kind of hole is specially dug out, and it is specially used for temporary rest of craftsmen, and it also has the function of storage warehouse.In this way, people in various areas can not only influence each other, but also coordinate with each other, and the efficiency will be much higher.This seems to be the most reasonable explanation. I hope this is the reason for their existence. The cave we are in is considered spacious, and it is not a big problem to squeeze ten people. If there are these places for us to rest along the way, then our chances of winning It will be 10% more.

Ying Ge took out the food and water in his backpack, and distributed some to everyone, obviously he was used to the routine in the army: comrades ate with all their strength, and when they were full, they fought on the battlefield.The main food is compressed biscuits and canned salmon and beef. It is a blessing that these things have not been washed away in the river, otherwise we can only rely on associations to satisfy our hunger. I'm not used to the food used for field work, but I'm so hungry and dizzy right now, I'm done stuffing it in two or three bites.In a blink of an eye after wiping their mouths, they saw that several people were gobbling it up, but Long Shao was the only one squatting in a corner, staring at something on the mountain wall, thinking while watching.

I leaned forward and found a pattern on the mountain wall, Long Shao turned his head, pointed at the pattern and said to me: "So that's it, now I know what these holes are for!" I looked at the pattern, and it looked like a Go board, with many black dots dotted across it.I didn't quite understand it, so I asked Long Shao what was going on. Long Shao said: "I said before that the cultivation here is so large and formal, there is no better explanation except for the sacrifice and worship, but now it seems that there seems to be another possibility."
