"Gao Xianzhi? Is he famous?"
Zhang Jinya asked me stupidly: "Why do you look surprised when you talk about this person?"
Not only Zhang Jinya, but also Rosa and Qingyi were confused.
I said speechlessly: "Fatty, explain to them!"
"You should do it."
Fatty scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "Brother, I only studied for a few years. After graduating from junior high school, I wandered around in society for two years and then joined the army. After returning from the army, I started to work as a tomb robber. Aren't you asking me such historical questions to cause trouble for me?"
Oh my god, this group of illiterates...
I smiled bitterly and shook my head. They didn't even know such a famous person? I dare say that if we go out and say that we have discovered Gao Xianzhi's tomb, it will definitely attract a large number of archaeologists to come here for archaeology as soon as possible! !
The reason is that Gao Xianzhi was definitely one of the most outstanding generals during the reign of Emperor Minghuang Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty. Together with Li Siye, he was known as the two pillars of the empire. His courage in using troops, his strange marching, and his fierceness in fighting were incomparable to ordinary generals. He was comparable to Huo Qubing in the Western Han Dynasty. During his time, he fought several wars of Tang Dynasty's external expansion, defeated Tubo and took Xiaoboluo, conquered Samarkand and Tashkent, and flattened the Stone Kingdom in the Western Regions, consolidating the absolute hegemony of the Tang Dynasty in Central Asia at that time. Although the Battle of Hengrus was a failure, it was not due to his command mistakes. In fact, it didn't matter who fought that war at that time. The Tang army rushed thousands of miles, and the number of troops was not large. Without any warning, a battle broke out with the Arab Empire. Although it is still unclear how many troops the Abbasid Dynasty of the Arab Empire dispatched at that time, judging from its expansion signs, the number of troops was probably several times more than that of the Tang army. In addition, during the battle, the vassal army, that is, the army of the Tang Empire's vassal states in the Western Regions, surrendered to the enemy in front of the battle. The gap in that war was too big, and Gao Xianzhi's defeat was excusable!
In fact, although he was defeated, he also frightened the Arabs. After that, the Abbasid Dynasty did not dare to lead troops to invade the Tang Empire again until its demise. Otherwise, the Tang Empire would not have been able to quell the An-Shi Rebellion at leisure.
It's just that this person's fate is not very good. During the An-Shi Rebellion, because he did not bribe the then military supervisor Bian Lingcheng, he was hated by many parties and accused of being afraid of fighting and killed by a false edict.
If this person had not died, the Tang army would not have failed in Tongguan when suppressing the An-Shi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty would not have gone downhill during the An-Shi Rebellion. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms that followed might not have come. It is still unclear whether the Song Dynasty could be established, and the Han civilization would not have declined. It is still unclear whether the Mongolian army and the Qing army could enter the pass!
To be honest, I was really surprised to be able to enter this person's tomb. This person has a great influence on the entire history of China. Apart from anything else, the mural recording Gao Xianzhi's life alone is enough to make many archaeologists ecstatic!
Although I was a little depressed about the cultural level of these teammates, I still told Gao Xianzhi's story in full. After all, we are now in his tomb, and there is no harm in knowing more about this person's life.
After I finished speaking, Qingyi's face suddenly became ugly: "You mean, this person was once deeply loved by the soldiers, and after his death, many soldiers even lost their fighting spirit?"
"Yes, Gao Xianzhi was one of the most outstanding generals during the Tianbao period. It is normal to have such a phenomenon, right?"
I nodded, and seeing Qingyi's bad face, I couldn't help asking: "Is there any problem?"
"It's a big problem..."
Qingyi shook his head with a slightly cold face: "The tombs of famous generals in ancient times were often evil after their death. Do you know why? Because they were deeply loved by the soldiers during their lifetime, so after their death, there would be many soldiers buried with them. Generally, if there are too many dead people buried in one place, something will definitely happen!!"
Is there such a saying?
After hearing this, my heart suddenly "stomped". When Gao Xianzhi died unjustly, his soldiers almost rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. The most important thing for ancient people was loyalty. Loyalty was the first among loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness. According to the situation at that time, when Gao Xianzhi died, there would be many people willing to be buried with him! ! !
Although the practice of human sacrifice was abolished in ancient China after Shang Yang's reforms in the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties followed this rule in order to recuperate, develop population and improve national strength, and even included it in the national law, but it is still rampant because many people who are buried with the dead are willing to be buried with the people they are loyal to!
Ordinary generals still have soldiers buried with them, so how could Gao Xianzhi have fewer?
I just ignored this point, but when Qingyi said this, my heart skipped a beat. The Ten Deadly Tombs in Qinling Mountains are located on the land of resentful dragons, which is a good place to breed dirty things. There are so many ancient soldiers buried in Gao Xianzhi's tomb, how can it be good!
This tomb is very evil!
"Forget it, let's not worry about that, let's act now?"
Zhang Jinya shouted: "Don't forget our mission this time, we must enter the main tomb of the Ten Deadly Tombs to find out the situation there, otherwise it is really worrying to have such a tomb here. According to the previous situation, eight tombs here have been destroyed, which means that if we want to enter the main tomb, we have to destroy the remaining two. Gao Xianzhi's tomb is one of them, so we have to break into it. Instead of discussing these meaningless things here, it is better to take one step at a time and fight against the enemy!"
Mission?
After hearing this, I was moved and couldn't help but look at Zhang Jinya and Qingyi more. They knew the horror of the Ten Deadly Tombs, but they still broke in without hesitation. Could it be for that mission? What kind of organization is the organization called "Heaven" they belong to?
Just when I was full of doubts, Fatty Wu spoke up: "I think what Lao Zhang said is right. If we want to enter the main tomb, we must suppress Gao Xianzhi's tomb. Let's go to his main tomb chamber to explore the situation first! It's a pity that Gao Xianzhi was a loyal minister and a good general during his lifetime. According to the rules of our tomb raiders, we cannot take things from the tomb of this loyal minister and a good general, otherwise we can take away some good things!"
After the two men said this, we thought about it and there was really no good way at the moment. We could only nod and agree, so we pushed open the stone door of the auxiliary room and went out.
Outside the auxiliary room, there is a long passage leading to three directions.
"Take the middle path!"
Fatty Wu said: "The middle path leads to the main tomb chamber, and the left and right sides should lead to the side chambers. If there are soldiers or concubines buried with Gao Xianzhi, those people should be in the side chambers, so we should not touch the left and right side chambers, it is easy to cause trouble. Go to the main tomb to investigate the situation, find the Feng Shui eye to suppress the evil spirit, and then go to the last tomb. By then, the main tomb of the Ten Deadly Tombs will appear by itself!"
We have no objection to what Fatty said, but Fatty looks careless, but he is very careful in doing things. He did not go directly into the redundant passage, but threw his backpack forward first. After seeing that there was no movement around, he finally took a step, then picked up the backpack and threw it out again, and took another step after seeing that there was no situation.
I know that Fatty is exploring the way. The corridors in the ancient tombs are most likely to have mechanisms. Once there is external force, they will be triggered immediately. Poison or flying arrows are particularly deadly.
However, there was no such mechanism in Gao Xianzhi's tomb. Fatty explored the way ahead, and we followed behind. We walked hundreds of meters without any danger and passed the intersection leading to the left and right ear chambers.
"Woof! Woof woof!"
At this time, Heizi, who had been quite quiet, suddenly barked like crazy, turned around, and bared his teeth at me and roared wildly. He looked so scary.
I know Heizi, this is a sign of its attack!
Heizi certainly can't attack me, let alone roar at me, so what is this...
Suddenly, my heart "clicked", could it be behind me...
My hair exploded at that time, and I subconsciously grasped the handle of the Baipi Knife, but before I could draw the knife, I felt a sudden force behind me, pushing me forward and falling on Heizi, pressing down Heizi who was about to pounce. That feeling was like... being pushed by someone!!!
