Imperial Mausoleum Treasure

Chapter 180 The Strange Cliff Tomb

Those huge golden antelopes with a bullish temper stared at the big copper bell eyes, stopped their snow-white bodies, swung their tails, and tilted their necks to look back. Those old golden takins also casually followed look back.This made everyone frightened, not knowing what they were trying to do.

After about 2 minutes, the golden antelopes began to move forward slowly again, and everyone continued to follow them and walked forward.

Those golden antelopes stopped and went, stopped and walked, all the way westward, after walking about a dozen miles of winding mountain roads, the valley finally opened up, and the surrounding mountains became very steep and beautiful, one by one. Wearing a white snow cap or a transparent ice cap, it is as spectacular as Christmas.

At this moment, these strange golden antelopes stopped collectively, looked back carefully again, then turned their heads and quickened their pace, like a gust of wind, they ran away without a trace.

We followed the weak Qi Mige all the way to the west, and walked about more than ten miles on the mountain road. In front of us, there appeared a long and narrow canyon as deep as a knife, with thousands of walls standing on both sides, facing a white cliff, and a horizontal mountain road under the cliff. There is no end in sight on both sides, but the cliff in front of me is unattainable, approaching the blue sky and white clouds.

What is even more spectacular is that the entire cliff is about 300 meters high and 400 meters wide. The cliffs are densely packed like pigeon nests—there are many man-made holes, and some of the coffins inside are still looming. Hundreds of holes.

"Cliff tomb"!Seventh Brother blurted out in admiration.

Immediately, a smile and vitality appeared on Qi Miguel's face.

"What is a cliff tomb? Brother Seven"?Snake King Duangou can't change eating shit, always asking endless questions.

Because of the discovery of a new target, Seventh Brother was naturally "Longyan Joyful" in his heart, so he said patiently and happily: "The cliff tomb is Manzi Cave, also called Rock Tomb and Immortal Stream. It is a place where ancient ancestors were buried. a habit".

After hearing this, Erdan the Snake King cocked his mouth in joy, and stammered, "It's really a joke."

Being able to meet the cliff tomb here lifted Qi Ge's spirits.This general cliff tomb is characterized by the sandy rock formations along the shallow hills and valleys, and the square caves are chiseled by manpower, and then the remains and sacrificial objects are buried.It began to develop and spread rapidly in the late Western Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was once all the rage like influenza.After the excessive development of the Shu Han, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, it even lasted until the Ming and Qing dynasties in many places.

At present, the most representative and powerful cliff tombs in my country include Jiangkou cliff tomb, Sipo cliff tomb, Jintang cliff tomb, etc.This kind of peculiar cliff tomb first appeared in the Warring States period, because the society was chaotic at that time, and there were swords and soldiers everywhere. People had no peace when they were alive. Little thieves harass their souls.

Moreover, this kind of unique cliff tomb located on the cliff is not as simple as the tombs in the plain. It is often full of ingenuity and surprises.The earliest cliff tombs of the Warring States period were concentrated in the Wuyishan area of ​​Fujian Province. There were single-cave single burials and joint-cave group burials. The coffins were carved from whole wood.

Not only that, these cliff tombs generally have tomb passages, corridors, ear chambers, middle chambers, and back chambers, etc., with a large number of exquisite artifacts buried with them, such as the famous Han Tomb in Mancheng, Hebei, and the Han Tomb in Jiulongshan, Qufu, Shandong, which are such tombs model.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Six Dynasties, cliff tombs became very popular in Sichuan.Represented by the Leshan area, which is famous for the mysterious Giant Buddha, dozens of cliff tombs often gather on a hillside like a meeting, forming a large-scale typical cliff tomb.

This peculiar funeral form lasted until the period of Tang Zong and Song Zu. Because the age was long and people didn't know it, the cliff tomb was attached by later generations to become a "immortal cave" for cultivating immortals and alchemy. People's hidden alchemy", so far, the cliff tomb has been covered with mysterious and magical superstition.

The tomb robbers in front of me are the kind of guys who are excited when they see the tombs. Now that they see so many cliff tombs densely packed together like pigeon nests on the cliff, they can't help dancing for joy, thinking that this time they can make a big fuss. Money.

Especially the Snake King Erdan, this guy's mouth was crooked like a spoon, but this time because of his happiness, his mouth almost reached the base of his ears, and he kept laughing non-stop.

As for the sturdy Seventh Brother, I was even more happy. This guy crossed his wolf waist, raised his head, lit a pot of big pipe beautifully, and started puffing clouds and mist complacently under the high cliff.

But no one should be too happy, because this kind of burial is characterized by the tomb dug out of the cliff, which is more concealed and safer than the common tomb. If you want to climb a [-]-meter-high cliff, you don’t have the ability to fly over the wall With excellent real kung fu, not to mention grave robbery and digging for things, even my own life, I am afraid that I will be smashed to pieces and left dead in the wild. How can ordinary grave robbers be able to peep and deal with it.

But for the famous Seven Tomb Raiders, it shouldn't be a question of what to do.

These tombs that have continued since ancient times include single chambers, front and rear double chambers, and some are as complex as a maze.

In Sichuan, which borders Tibet, there is a world-famous cliff tomb, centered on Meihua Village, Jiangkou Town, and in Saizishan, Gaojiagou, Yanjinggou, Dayugou, Youfanggou and other places. The total area is as high as more than 40 square kilometers, and there are more than 4000 cliff tombs in existence.

The burial structures of Jiangkou Cliff Tombs are also very rich, including boat-shaped tombs, shaft-shaped tombs, tombs with rock chambers and brick chambers, courtyard tombs, and special-shaped tombs.

But compared to the cliff tombs here, it is much inferior.

After a while, Seventh Brother spit out more than a dozen blue smoke rings, and after he was addicted to smoking, he knocked out the hot ash and sparks from the big pipe on the cliff, and took out Huang Sui'er's big wine gourd, boom He took two sips of highland barley wine, smashed his mouth, wiped his mouth vigorously and said: "Follow me, come on"!

As soon as the words fell, Ya took out her usual flying claws, swished them to the raised rock above, and swung up quickly along the rope of the flying claws. When he climbed to a height of three feet, he looked like a gecko. Adsorbed on the cliff, took off the flying claw, raised it up again, and then flew up again.

Seventh Brother is flying and crawling on top, while the golden retriever sticks out its big scarlet tongue and looks up at the bottom!But the little howler monkey raised its round head, opened its mouth round, waved its paws, and shouted vigorously in cheers, the sound shook the whole field and spread three miles away.The black and good-natured mynah kept flapping its wings, and flew up beside Seventh Brother.

Seeing that Brother Qi was about to climb into the large cliff tomb in the middle.
