We then returned to the lower level of Gnaku, first found a few uniforms and coats of the Kanto Army, wiped the mud and blood stains on our faces, and each person also found a helmet to buckle on his head.
Eiko looks pretty good already, and looks even more pretty in military uniforms. The fat man cheered beside him: "Hey, elder sister, you put on Japanese military uniforms, and the whole is Yoshiko Kawashima."
Eiko didn't know who Kawashima Yoshiko was. He thought the fat man praised her and was very helpful. I told Eiko: "He said you are like a Japanese female spy."
When Yingzi heard the words, Liu Liu raised her head, and the fat man quickly said, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I should say that when I saw Yingzi wearing a military uniform and holding a small gun, I could think of Chairman Mao's poem. The ruler gun, the first light of the dawn is in the military field, the Chinese children are more curious, they do n’t love red makeup and they love armed forces. "
I was laughing next to him: "The fat man has become a poet recently, and he will recite two sentences if he doesn't move."
With words, I found a hex wrench on a shelf for storing gasoline barrels: "This time I'm alive, I should take all the things. Take time to act."
The three men wore uniforms of the Kwantung Army, carrying a 100-type submachine gun, and returned along the same path. This time they didn't say anything about the shadow of the kid they saw. I didn't ask them, but I caught the wind and the shadows in my heart.
I thought to myself: "The fat man said that the kid ran into the iron gate. What on earth did the kid want to do? Is he trying to show us a way out? Can there be such a cheap thing? Or is he plotting something else? His mother, Lao Tzu There is just a little glutinous rice left. I heard that the ghost is afraid of glutinous rice. If the little dare dare to find trouble, he will let it be rectified and come back defeated. If it is not so, I will not show the means of Lao Hu. "
As I followed them, I cheered myself up. The back injury didn't seem to hurt anymore. Soon, I came to the cave with airtight doors for the second time.
To prevent this, we all put on helmets and gas masks, pulled off the bolts, and put the bullets into the bore. Before I opened the door, I asked Yingzi to grab a handful of glutinous rice and toss it, and let the fat man aim with a submachine gun. If there was anything in the door, no matter what happened, I would do it first. In addition, I told the fat man to cooperate with me to shoot in turn, leaving no gaps for loading magazines.
After everything was arranged properly, I carried the submachine gun on my shoulder and buckled the hex wrench on the thread of the door. The door had not been opened for decades and the thread was rusty.
I even succumbed to the strength of breastfeeding, the wrench was almost folded by me, and finally I heard a "squeak" sound, and the three exhaust slots under the door made a sound, and the airtight door was filled. The air, the iron door rattles ...
The air slot in the airtight door was filled with air, and the heavy iron door opened in response. I hurriedly took two steps backwards, picked up the submachine gun and the flashlight and aimed at the door, but there was no movement in the door quietly.
The situation was unexpected, only to see the dark and indistinguishable objects inside the door, the light of the flashlight shone into it, and it was swallowed by the darkness inside.
I gestured to Yingzi, and Yingzi understood that a large handful of glutinous rice maiden flowers were thrown into the secret room. However, there was still no movement in the secret room, as if all the sounds in the world had disappeared, and I only heard myself heavy in the gas mask. Breathing.
It seems that we are over-considered, as the so-called suspicion is a ghost, but it's not so good, I first scared myself to death.
In the end, the fat man couldn't hold it back. He took the lead and entered the secret room, and Yingzi and I followed closely afterwards.
The area of the secret room is about 40 square meters, and the solitary one has no exit except the airtight door.
It contained neither bacterial weapons nor chemical weapons. Before coming in, I almost thought of all the possibilities, but I did not expect that there were more than a dozen large coffins in the room. These coffins are piled up in a dense room. The coffins are old and decayed, some have been decayed, some are large and small, and the craftsmanship and styles are different. There is even an extra large sarcophagus. There are countless pottery pieces scattered on the ground.
I looked back at the fat guys. They both shook their heads at me. Although wearing a gas mask, I could still feel their blank faces.
The fat man asked me, "Lao Hu, what's the matter? This seems to be a museum. Where are there so many coffins?"
I thought about it for a moment, in fact, it is not difficult to speculate about this matter, but we are preconceived and did not expect these.
Yeren Gully was originally a group of ancient tombs during the Jin-Liao period. The Guandong Army built this hidden underground fortress, especially the three passages connected to the fortresses on both sides, which just traverse the valley of Yeren Gully. A lot of ancient tombs, the funerary items in these ancient tombs, and the coffins of ancient nobles in Jinliao were treasures for the Japanese. They stored all the things dug out of the tombs in a semi-vacuum chamber When he got up, the Kwantung Army retreated in a hurry. When he left, he only wrapped the antique rolls of the funeral, and left the coffins here.
The fat man said: "The Japanese will take care of the sheep and leave nothing for us. Let's see if there is anything valuable in the coffin. We will not waste this trip." He kicked a big coffin with his feet. The coffin cover, which had been pryed open by the Japanese long ago, was not nailed back, kicked the coffin cover aside.
Yingzi didn't dare to come and see: "I'm still waiting for you at the door, I'll stare at it, don't let people shut us all here." After that, he walked to the door and kept it in the door. door.
I said to Yingzi at the door: "It's still my eldest girl who is alert. I didn't expect this. It's really white for so many years. This door can only be opened from the outside. If we are all locked in this secret room, I'm afraid even I can't find the door when crying. "
The fat man just turned around in the coffin and scolded: "I fucking, it's all bones and scum. The Japanese devils are really wicked. They play the Sanguang policy wherever they go, and they didn't even leave us a jar of kids. . "
Even the three or four coffins were turned over. The fat man was so angry that he kept pushing and pushing the lacquered coffin of Phoebe chinensis.
I did n’t pay much attention to the ordinary coffins. My eyes were always attracted by the huge sarcophagus. My instinct told me that there was something there ...
I don't understand why there is such an idea. Suddenly there is an urge to open this sarcophagus. I greeted the fat man to come over to help, and the two of them worked together to push the upper slab. The slab was unusually thick and heavy. After pushing it for a long time, only a thin slit was pushed open.
The fat man waved his hands, panting, "No, it's not working ... First, it's too heavy ... I can't move without any food in my stomach."
I was also hungry in my stomach and screamed. This force was even more like a Venus. I had to sit down and take a rest. We took off the gas mask and lit a cigarette.
The fat man spit out a smoke ring: "Lao Hu, do you think the ancients got water in their heads? The whole stone coffin, I still saw some people using stones as coffins."
I stroked the stone slab and said, "This is not a coffin, it's called Shizhu. The coffin, the coffin, and the wooden coffin are inside this stone box. Those who can enjoy this kind of treatment are definitely high-ranking, maybe a prince."
The fat man scratched his head: "Oh, that's what happened, and it's really complicated. They are all buried in the savages' ditch. Compared with the master in the stone coffin, who's official is bigger? "
I shook my head and said: "I don't know, this is not easy to say, we don't understand history well, but during the centuries of Jin Liaoyuan, the nomadic peoples in the north were unprecedentedly strong, and they all came from the world on horseback. , I guess it should be more important than light, so it may be Wu Xun ’s highest nobleman, who was buried in the positive cave of this Fengshui treasure land, and the rest of the noblemen buried near this place, maybe the burial goods are more than the general ’s tomb. To be generous. The tomb owner ’s hobbies are different, and the funerary items must also be different. Take the ancient tomb we dug, the tomb owner is a warrior, there is no elegant taste and fun, so most of the objects in his tomb are horses weapon."
The fat man said: "In fact, those horses must have been thousands of miles. If they were alive, they would be worth a lot of money, but now only the horse bones are left. It is estimated that they are sold to the waste recycling station, and they don't want them. Fortunately, he still has two jade pieces. Otherwise, we will be in vain, and these two jade pieces will go back to let Dajinya find a next house, how can we deal with thousands of children? "
The cigarette was finished in the middle of the speech. The two of us put on the gas mask again, stolen enough to push the big slate again, and Yingzi came over to help, and finally moved the slate aside. Inside Shizhu, a wooden coffin with a pure black background is exposed. This coffin is still nearly twice as large as the ordinary coffin, and the height is also unusual. The arc-shaped lid is more than half the height of a person.
The coffin is exquisite in craftsmanship, and it is not a vulgar thing. There are multicolored paintings of gold lacquer on both ends, all sides, and the lid of the coffin. Some auspicious gods and beasts, all of which are cranes, unicorns, turtles and snakes, are used to protect the coffin. The owner's body disintegrated into a fairy after death. On the coffin cover, there is a star map of 28 stars in the sky. The bottom of the coffin is surrounded by a golden pattern with a cloud pattern. I do n’t know what secret method was used. The color is still gorgeous and new after thousands of years, which is really amazing.
We have all seen such a magnificent coffin for the first time. If we could not see it with our own eyes, how would we want to have such a huge coffin like this artwork in the world.
The fat man was overjoyed: "Even if there is nothing in it, we can make a lot of money by carrying the coffin back and selling it." Rolling up the sleeves, we pushed the coffin away.
Even Yingzi couldn't help but want to see what was in this big coffin. The three of them gathered together and irradiated the coffin with a flashlight. The brocade covered in the coffin was already decaying. A skeleton lay on the decayed brocade. After a thousand years, the clothes and flesh had already rotted away. Only the skull was kept slightly intact, with a wide mouth, revealing two rows of black lacquered rotten teeth. The skull may not be seen as a human remains.
Yingzi swept the edge of the coffin with a beam of flashlight, and scared her out with a cry: "Oh, mother, this kid!"
I saw two ends of the coffin, each with a man and a woman, two bare buttocks, and they looked like they were five or six years old, and their faces were lifelike. The style is not a modern style, but it is like the ancients in the murals. Could it be that the martyr who buried Daojun was a boy or a girl? The masters in the coffin are almost gone. Why are these boys and girls kept so well?
"These two cubs, 80% are dummies, do the same as real ones." The fat man said as he squeezed the child in the giant coffin with his hands. "The fat man wants to see today, and his mother is fine. Not successful? "
I pressed the fat man's hand: "Don't touch it without gloves! This is not a dummy, it may be poisonous. Look carefully at the two children. They are all patches of blue and purple, which are mercury spots."
In the 1950s, my grandfather Hu Guohua was hospitalized in a large hospital in Beijing for a period of time because of medical treatment. During this period, a large building was to be built near the hospital, and an ancient tomb was dug on the construction site. He also ran out of the hospital to see the excitement, and went into the underground palace to have a look.
The ancient tomb is said to be a prince of the Ming Dynasty. There is black water around the tomb. The tomb of the Digong is divided into three parts: front, middle, and back. The gate is hung by a gate. From the gate, the first is a "Ming Hall" "(Dark Hall), according to the layout of the tomb house of the tomb owner's home, there are various kinds of furniture, these artifacts are called" Ming utensils "(dark utensils).
Further in, the middle burial chamber, called the "dormitory", is the place where the coffins are placed. This ancient tomb is a co-burial tomb, and very special is that the tomb owner couple-that is, the coffins of the prince and the princess, are hung in the middle of the bedroom with large iron chains, large copper rings and copper locks.
This is followed by the "Palace", a place dedicated to the placement of funerary objects.
A few days later, an ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty was also unearthed in Haidian. Both of these tombs had martyrdom and virgin martyrdom. When they were unearthed, they were exactly the same as living people. The clothes on the body turned gray as soon as they touched.
Later, my grandfather told me these two things as stories. He said that when these boys and girls were alive, in addition to oral mercury, they also had to dig holes in the top of the head, back, feet, etc., and the ground was full. After pouring mercury, wipe the body with mercury powder after death, just like a specimen, after ten thousand years, the flesh does not rot. This technique is far more advanced than the mummy of ancient Egypt, but the background of the two civilizations is different, and the value orientation is also very different. Moreover, the method of mercury injection is used to maintain the appearance of the corpse. There is no way to pour it in, so this technique has never been used on any tomb owner.
The cruelest thing in the world is probably to be buried with a living person. The fat man put on his gloves and took out the body of one of the children. After careful inspection, he found several holes in the top of the head, back, sole, etc. . The holes in these corpses have been sealed with paint by skilled craftsmen. There are many spots on the corpse where black and purple spots have appeared. The people who are buried or the gold and silver jade are often smeared with mercury powder. Over time, they will produce chemical changes. , When the age is near, it will appear brownish red, and when the age is far, it will become dark purple. This kind of plaque is commonly known as "mercury spot" or "mercury immersion", and some places call the corpse spot "rotten yin" or "mercury blue". .
The fat man was obviously a little nervous. He pretended to be calm and called out: "I have seen the novel written by Lu Xun before, and there is a description of the antique mercury infusion. It seems that the old man is not blindly writing. "
Yingzi asked: "This is too pitiful, Brother Hu, you said this boy and girl, why don't you dress them? I remember seeing the kid running past wearing clothes, is it a ghost?"
I told her: "Is it the ghost that only they know, but it's not that these two children don't wear clothes, and the burial boys and girls must be dressed in costumes, and it's been a thousand years. It's gone. I am afraid that this giant coffin was from the Yuan Dynasty. The moment the Guan Dongjun dug out this large coffin and opened it, the clothes became dust when they saw the air. "
Yingzi said: "Isn't it often said that you are in the soil for peace? Otherwise, let's help them, how pitiful."
The fat man nodded in agreement: "I just want to make a fortune and don't care about the messy things, but this time the situation is special, let's do well, take them out to dig a hole and bury them well, don't poke naked here. , They have stood the tomb owner for thousands of years, and it is time to rest. "
The body is full of mercury, and it can't be burned. Only digging a pit and burying it, we can only do this. I hope there are fewer such tragedies in the world.
Without much delay at the moment, the fat man and I took off the coat of the Kwantung Army that we wore, wrapped the boys and girls inside, and fastened a buckle to our backs. The mercury-filled corpse is dead, thanks to a child. If it is an adult, a person ’s back is really enough.
When the fat man saw that he hadn't got any valuable treasure, he was a little bit unhappy. He wished to burn all the coffins with a fire. Yingzi and I hurriedly dissuaded him and he had to give up.
We went back to the stone cave to discuss how to go out. At this time, everyone was hungry and unbearable. The hateful thing was that there was no grain, no water, no explosive shells in the underground fortress. There is a way to go, but the thought of the strange power of the red hair monster is really a headache, and it is not necessarily its opponent when it is full and full, not to mention that it is already hungry and soft.
The three of them glanced at each other, and their thoughts were almost the same. There were more than a dozen dead bats on the ground. Until now, they can only sacrifice these people to the Temple of the Five Organs.
Humans are originally omnivores. Once hungry, there is nothing to eat. Yingzi said that she had eaten bats with her grandfather in a cave in the old forest when she was a child. That year, a fire broke out and caught up with a rare famine. The larger animals in the mountain were gone, and people ate hamsters. Eating bats, eating locusts, eating grass planes, bats' tendons and crisp bones are delicious, with chewing heads.
These pig-faced big bats in the stone cave, with their skinny bones and bones, are too vicious and fierce. They are like a corpse of a blood-sucking demon, and I have reservations about the idea that their meat is delicious.
But in order to survive, I do n’t care so much. If I want to fire a barbecue, I have to go back to Gnaku. There are many wooden boxes for firewood. Of course, the coffin board can also be burned, but eating meat roasted by the coffin fire, this matter Somewhat unacceptable. So the fat man picked up five or six fat dead bats with his ropes to tie his paws, tied them in a string, and dragged away, including the oversized bat king.
After returning to Gnaku, he put the overcoats of boys and girls aside, and Yingzi took out his short knife to cut off the ugly head of the bat, without the claws of meat, and then opened the stomach, and finally peeled off indiscriminately.
I found a lot of wooden boxes and kicked them into boards. Then I took out the knife and cut some wood chips. I used matches to ignite the wood chips to ignite the fire. The fat man assisted by the side, squatted on the ground, and raised my hands to blow out the fire.
He also found a few bayonets on the rifle to pick up the bat and set it on the fire to grill. The fat man frowned and was reluctant to eat this kind of thing.
Yingzi persuaded: "It's not difficult to eat, don't think that this is a bat, chew a few more times, and taste like lamb."
I do n’t care. Is n’t the bat the same as a mouse? When the troops exercised in Shaanxi, I had eaten many kinds of mice, such as hamsters, dormouses, flying squirrels, voles, coypus. The thin three-layered pork belly is indeed similar to lamb, but the bat meat has never been eaten.
Pig-faced big bat is a warm-blooded animal, there is not too much fat, it should not be grilled for a long time, after the meat color becomes mature, I taste it first, the meat on the shoulder is very crisp, there are a lot of muscles and crisp bones, it is not as good as lamb Eat, but it's really chewy.
The fat man saw that I ate, and took a bite while holding his nose. I felt quite satisfied. Now I ate one of them like a lingering cloud, and the meaning was unfinished. I put the biggest bat king on the bayonet and grilled it.
When we ate almost half of it, a string of sticky, shiny liquid dripped from the roof above the fat man's head, which fell on the fat man's face. The fat man ate, and when he saw his face wet, he wiped it with his hand, and wondered: "Who the so many Haras? It's all on Lao Tzu's head." As soon as he spoke, he thought he asked this. Not right.
