I looked at Da Tou, wondering what kind of evil idea he had, and it was probably unreliable, so he asked me: "Do you remember those empty boxes we saw earlier, used to hold cans?"
I was puzzled by his question and nodded doubtfully. Seeing that I was impressed, he continued: "We judged at that time that maybe after the failure in the defensive battle, some Japs were not captured and hid deep in the tunnel. You see, According to the previous speculation, the sudden defeat of the Japs' defense line was related to the fact that they dug up the Bodhisattva grass, so how could anyone survive? But on the other hand, since some people survived, that means..."
"He found a way to restrain Bodhisattva Grass!" My eyes lit up and I really wanted to go up and kiss this big head. He can always see the key to the problem straight to the point.
"That's right." When Da Tou saw that I agreed with his point of view, he immediately became proud, touched his Da Tou's back and said, "See, this is called talent."
I started to think about it, and what Datou said was indeed correct, but there was another possibility. People in those days may not have left here. What does it mean that those few boxes are empty? It means that he stayed here for a long time. If he could leave, why not go out? I think there is a high probability that he is trapped. Although the Bodhisattva grass cannot kill him, it traps him to death.
I don't want to throw cold water on them at this juncture. The will to live is more important than anything else. Besides, Maitreya is watching eagerly. If I tell my guess, I may be killed immediately.
I looked around. The entrance to the mausoleum must not be far from here, and I had a strong feeling that the person who survived was probably the native master who brought the Japanese in. The robbery cave we entered was the best proof.
Now that there was hope of survival, everyone cheered up. Maitreya said to me from the side: "You'd better not lie to me."
I didn't give him face. Now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Their life and death depend on me. At worst, they all die together, so I just said directly: "I'm not stupid enough to trade my life for yours." After that, Ignoring him, he and Datou walked forward.
This stone room was very roughly repaired, and it even felt like it was unfinished. Datou used his flashlight to scan the stone walls on both sides, and asked me quietly: "How long do you think we can last."
I looked back at Maitreya, who had a gloomy expression, and replied, "Who knows, if we can't find the entrance to the mausoleum, this grandson will have to kill us first."
Datou whispered: "Take a look for yourself to see if there are any signs of your Longshan Pavilion nearby. With Han Sheng's ability, I think if he comes in, he will definitely be able to find the entrance to the mausoleum, and he may have already entered."
His words woke me up. I nodded and started searching carefully. Just as Datou said, I still saw no sign of Han Sheng. It was possible that he had already gone in ahead of us.
At the end of the stone chamber is a fork in the road. One side has collapsed and the passage is blocked by rocks. There are many stone statues that need to be completed on the road on the other side.
We walked over and found that these stone statues were very strange. They were not unfinished, but the whole body was carved very carefully, except for the head.
"What do you mean, the Statue of the Goddess of Victory." Big Tou flashed a flashlight to me next to me.
I asked him not to move and helped to take the photos. These stone statues are amazing when you look closely. Every detail is handled very well, especially the cloud patterns on the cuffs and collars. They are very exquisite and extremely fine. They are simply ingenious. , which has gone beyond the scope of ordinary statues.
I walked around the stone statue. Even the back of the stone statue was very detailed. We looked at each other and realized that this damn stone statue was clearly a stone tomb.
In ancient times, if the body was buried incomplete, it would be considered an unlucky event. The body would not be reincarnated in the next life, so other things would be used to replace the incomplete parts.
According to legend, the cause of Emperor Yongzheng's death is complicated and confusing. There are many theories. I have seen a copy of the private notes of Zhang Tingyu, the assistant minister at the time. It mentioned that the death of Emperor Yongzheng was very horrific. The thief Lu Siniang cut off the head of Emperor Yongzheng, so he was buried. At that time, a head was made of gold.
This section is of course unofficial history, but such things are not uncommon in history.
"Stone cairn?" Datou looked at me.
"I'm afraid."
He smashed his head and mouth, and said doubtfully: "There is something wrong. I remember the bandit leader Zhang Huizhan, who was a popular man under Chiang Kai-shek. After his head was cut off, Chiang Kai-shek pressed his body all night long. Someone was found to carve a wooden body and limbs, and after attaching the head, they arranged for the coffin to be transported back to Changsha by train. The Changsha authorities also invited 8 Taoist priests to conduct a dojo for seven days and seven nights. The body was buried in the middle of Yuelu Mountain. at.
Look, these wooden tombs and stone tombs can only be enjoyed by the evil landlord class. There is only one here. Why are there so many? We also encountered a group of landlords? "
"Such high-level tombs must not have been here originally. They should have been moved from other places. But that's not the most important thing, you see." I glanced at a row of stone carvings with my flashlight and said, "Each one has no head. Level, what does it mean?"
"Only the head of the deceased is left." Maitreya said.
"Yes." I nodded and continued my analysis: "But it's strange, isn't it? If you can have a full burial, you must choose a full burial. This kind of wooden tomb and stone tomb are prepared for the dead whose bodies cannot be recovered. Here is the arrangement What do the large number of cairns mean? That proves that there were a large number of dead at that time, and the preparers knew that their bodies could not be buried, and only one head could be left. Don't you think this is weirder?"
"It's true what you said." Datou said.
"The deaths of these people were not accidental. Their bodies were taken away intentionally, perhaps even while they were still alive. I believe there must be some special purpose." I said.
"What's the use of corpses? Are you a necrophiliac?" Datou started his strange brain circuit again.
"I don't know." I didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I used a flashlight to look deeper into the tunnel: "I think we are not far from the entrance of the mausoleum."
The team continued to move forward. There were many such headless cairns on both sides of the tunnel. Each one was very detailed. What also gave me chills was that these cairns were tall or short, and each one had a different shape. , even the clothing decoration on the body also has its own characteristics.
This reminds me of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Each Terracotta Warriors and Horses were burned according to a Qin Dynasty soldier. Similarly, these stone tombs do not seem to be mass-produced. They are also made according to the appearance of the deceased.
What exactly these people's bodies were used for is something that is simply unheard of. I have some random thoughts in my mind, but none of them can explain the current situation.
While I was thinking about it, the team suddenly stopped. I looked forward confusedly and heard Big Head saying in my ear: "A cairn with a head appeared in front of me, blocking the way."
