The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 385
The yin and yang in the evening urges short scenes, the end of the world is frosty and snowy for a cold night.

The sound of drums and horns was tragic and vigorous, and the shadow of the Three Gorges Galaxy was shaken.

Ye Cry thousands of families heard the war, and Yi Ge started fishing in several places.

The Wolong Prancing Horse ends in the loess, and the personnel information is lonely.

——Du Fu in Pavilion Night

……

The disciples of the Dajiang Gang drove the boat to the left bank of Qutang Gorge, where the coffin was hanging on the side of the boat.The height between the caves cannot be raised, and there is a black thing inserted between the cliffs, which is several feet long, like black charcoal.

The boat continued to drive for hundreds of meters, and the bellows gorge at the foot of Chijiao Mountain, on the cliffs with thousands of feet, hanging coffins stacked one after another like torii nests, densely packed and layer upon layer.These hanging coffins are shaped like wooden boxes and bellows, and look like rotten wood when looking up.

These hanging coffins seem to be messy, scattered, in groups of three, and in groups of five. They are criss-crossed and scattered on the cliff, which actually contains the mystery of Qimen Dunjia. , as the so-called 'Yan Ling vertically and horizontally, nine turns a thousand times'.

Bai Fu only knew a thing or two about feng shui in tombs, but he didn't know the particulars of the layout of the hanging coffin and what the purpose was.

Bai Fu carefully observed that there are several ways to place these hanging coffins: one is the "wooden pile rack type", where one end of the coffin is placed in the cave, and the other end is placed on a wooden pile on the cliff.The second is the "natural cave style", where natural caves or rock crevices are repaired and placed inside the coffin.The third is the "manual excavation method", in which a horizontal niche or a square hole is excavated on the Linjiang cliff and placed in the coffin.The fourth is the "cliff pile style", where several small square holes are cut horizontally on the cliff, embedded with wooden piles, and then placed on the coffin...

Bai Fu asked, "How did these hanging coffins go up?"

Ruan Zhouxing replied: "According to the old man, there are three methods: if there are big trees or boulders enclosing the top of the mountain, hang a rope from the top of the mountain, cut a niche in the half rib of the cliff wall near the river, and hang the coffin from the top of the mountain.

The second is to drill caves along the rock wall, bury the dead in the cave, and destroy the passage after the burial.The third is to build a wooden frame from the foot of the mountain, lift it up and down with a winch, place the coffin in the cave, and remove the wooden frame after the burial..."

Recently, the hanging coffin was buried, and there were no big trees or boulders enclosing the top of the mountain, and it was impossible to hang ropes; during the daytime survey, there was no wooden frame, and there were no traces of building bird paths and plank roads; There is no place for the hook to lock.

There are many giant pines and cypresses in the high mountains on the other side, but the crossbow with a rope hook shot from the other side, like a flying tiger's claw, cannot be shot into the rock wall to fix it.Therefore, only birds can cross the two sides of the strait. "

Speaking of this, Bai Fu had a thought, and thought to himself: "Ordinary flying tiger claws and hooked crossbows with ropes are of course ineffective, but Tangmen's snow spider ropes, gecko claws and other sticky climbing tools are not impossible."

Bai Fu said to Ruan Zhouxing: "Let's moor the boat nearby, don't leave now, and visit the hanging coffin tonight!"

As dusk fell, Bai Fu, brothers Ruan Zhouxing and Ruan Jiangliu arrived near Kuimen on the south bank of Qutang Gorge in a flat boat.The hanging coffins here have not been harmed by the monster yet.

The Ruan brothers have excellent boat skills, and they steer the boat like a horse-drawn cart.In the rushing river of Kuimen, it is like walking on flat ground.Find a hidden corner, use the current to swirl, hover and moor the boat, and hide it.

When the jackdaws returned to their nests, the sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air came.Bai Fu raised his head, and saw two "crossbow arrows with ropes" shot from the top of the cliff on the north bank of Qutang Gorge, and shot towards the rock wall above the hanging coffin on the south bank.

With a "snap", it was firmly stuck to the rock wall.Two ropes are connected across the sky on both sides of the river.

As Bai Fu expected, the 'crossbow arrow with rope' is indeed Tang Sect's Snow Spider.

Several men in black slid across the river along the cableway and came to the rock wall above the hanging coffin on the opposite bank.The mouth in black held the night pearl, and with the help of the faint light, knocked a few wedges into the cracks of the rock wall. After they were firmly fixed, they tied the ropes to the wedges and hung down to the group of hanging coffins on the rock wall. There were three people in groups. , Divided into four groups, fell on the coffin.

When the Ruan brothers saw it, they suddenly realized.Will-o'-the-wisps are overflowing, ghosts and shadows are vaguely said, and they will be destroyed without attack.

Bai Fu did not dare to take it lightly, but became more vigilant.From the bottom of the cliff, he could clearly see that these men in black were obviously not ordinary grave robbers.Which coffin they stole was not arbitrary, and they were really particular about it.The chosen coffin, viewed from a distance, coincides with the directions of the 28 constellations, and it is actually a picture of a flying mallard pouncing fish.

I saw fire lights on the rock wall, three long and one short, and four groups of men in black started at the same time.

In the east direction, the man in black threw the coffin in the direction of Mujiao down the cliff; in the direction of south, he pushed the crossbar under the coffin in the direction of Mu An into the hole; in the direction of west, he lifted the lid of the coffin in the direction of Wood Wolf; in the direction of north, Push the inner and outer coffins in the direction of the wooden shaft into the chiseled niche.

Just listening to the sound of "boom, boom, boom" winches, more than a dozen hanging coffins on the cliff rise and fall, and the "Zhi" shape moves in a scattered manner, which is very spectacular.

In the middle of the group of hanging coffins, on the cliff hundreds of feet away from the river, a hidden stone door slowly opened, revealing a cave the size of a carriage.

The man in black was overjoyed, he didn't care about revealing his whereabouts, and chatted with each other.

Bai Fu was angry from his heart, these chattering words were not the gossip spoken by the Ruan brothers, but Fusang dialect.

Whether it's Liu Bei's tomb in Wuhou Temple, or the Baima and Shaolin temples, the appearance of Fusang people will never be good.

Bai Fuyi was so bold that he decided to fight in person.He whispered a few words to the Ruan brothers, and the Ruan brothers steered the oars, relying on their superb boat skills, first went upstream, crossed the heart of the river, then went downstream, and came to the bottom of the cave silently.

Bai Fu's heart turned at will, and Kan Xun's true energy traveled through his whole body, spinning around the spine like a tornado.

Bai Fu didn't need any tools, he stirred his legs, and his body spun like a tornado, soaring into the sky.Once his true energy was exhausted, Bai Fu tipped his toes to touch the rock wall, and hopped again like a big bird.After a few ups and downs, I came to the stone entrance of the cave.

At this time, all the people in black had entered the cave.No one would have thought that there would be someone appearing on this thousand-ren cliff, and there was not even a watchman at the entrance of the cave.

Bai Fu's footsteps were light, and he rushed into the cave like a civet cat.

The cave was so narrow that only one carriage could pass through.Go back hundreds of steps, suddenly see the light.Passing through dozens of towering stalactites, there is a huge cave, facing a huge bronze standing man, with a human body and a bird head, a ferocious face, and a sharp and slender beak like an osprey.

The bronze standing man wears a five-tooth high crown on his head, triangular earrings on his earlobes, and holds a bronze ring in both hands. The ring is like a wheel with five spokes in the middle.

In the open space at the foot of the bronze standing figure, several bronze figurines sit kneeling, resembling thunder gods, holding thunder drum hammers, grinning, and growing wings on their backs.

Scattered around the figurines are various bronze utensils and weapons such as bronze shackles, statues, daggers and arrowheads, jade wares such as jade Zhang and jade bi, and countless huge ivory and other objects.

At the far end of the cave, there is a huge bronze sacred tree, several meters high.There are five layers of branches and leaves, each layer has nine branches, and a sun bird stands on the upturned flowers and fruits of the branches.A golden dragon hovered on the trunk of the sacred tree, with its teeth and claws showing various poses.

In the center of the cave, under the dome several feet high, there is a bronze coffin floating in the air.The shape of the coffin is like a boat.

A gold leaf decoration is suspended on the coffin cover, the inner layer is a circle, and there are twelve ivory-shaped arc-shaped rotating awn patterns around it.There are four sun god birds on the outer layer of the decoration, spreading their wings and flying high.

The gold foil decoration rotates slowly, and the sun bird seems to fly in reverse, lifelike.

　Remarks

　　Recently, another major archaeological discovery in Sanxingdui, Guanghan, Chengdu, sparked heated discussions.The bronze vessels in the Kuimen Golden Cave are all based on the unearthed artifacts from Sanxingdui.
