Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

"Yunfeng, they aren't looking for trouble for us, are they?" Miracle Doctor Fan's face was full of worry.

Unlike Miracle Doctor Fan who was full of worry, Xiaoxuan was expressionless at the moment, playing with a sharp five-inch steel knife back and forth in her hand.

I glanced at the rearview mirror, and several vans with scarred faces were blinking, and they had already started to leave one after another.

Just now I was pretending, saying that I was not afraid at all, that was a lie!I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Shouldn't be bothering us anymore, you guys remember, don't mention this matter when you go back."

Xiaoxuan raised her eyes and asked, "What about the head?"

I said, "Don't talk about such a trivial matter, if you tell us, all of us will be punished, believe it or not?"

Xiaoxuan nodded, expressing her agreement with me.

What the three of them don't know is that I'm not afraid to teach me my head at all, what I'm afraid of is that my gun will be confiscated after I know the head!

I like the feeling of having the gun on the waistband very much now, it has a sense of security!

We were honest for two days, and in the early morning of the third day, Abu came with a Miao guide.

This man is not tall, about 1.6 meters, and his age is about forty. His skin is dark and shiny, and he looks like an honest person.

Abu introduced that this person's name was translated as "Yang Yebochen", so we all called him Brother Yang.

Departing in the morning of the same day, we first drove to Yang Town, Fenghuangshan, and then a group of people hiked into the mountain with their bags on their backs.

On this day, the air is fresh and the wind is sunny. Walking on the mountain path, you can hear all kinds of chirping birds in the mountains.

Walking side by side with the guide, I asked, "Brother Yang, are you a black seedling or a white seedling?"

Holding a stick in his hand, he said with a smile: "My father's generation was still black Miao, but in my generation, anyone who went out to study for a few years basically belonged to Miao and Han, and my daughter-in-law is From Yuncheng, Shanxi."

At this time, Brother Yu curiously asked: "I heard that many people in this area will play Gu, is this true or false?"

With a straight face, he replied seriously: "It's all true, so you have to remember, when you go into the mountains, if you meet someone who gives you food and drink, especially gruel, don't touch it! Stone Gu Do you know?"

He said: "In the past two years, a few people from the city came to travel. They thought that the old Miaozi couldn't understand, so they made a joke. As a result, they were all stoned. After they went back, they couldn't get out their big hands. In the end, the stomach became as hard as a rock, and he died within half a year."

I couldn't help but shiver when I heard it.

Xiangxi witchcraft, no matter what others say, I definitely believe in it, because I have experienced it myself.

"Fengzi, look there!" Bean sprouts suddenly patted me.

Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw a large cave on the cliff, and there seemed to be a coffin at the entrance of the cave.

That should be the "cave burial" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This kind of burial method was once popular in western Hunan, Guizhou, and central Sichuan. For the funerary goods, there may be a small pendant, small copper coins and the like.

Bean Sprout Zai took a sip of water, sighed and asked: "Good boy! Brother Yang, you said such a big coffin, such a high cliff! How did you get it up?"

Lao Yang, the guide, shook his head: "I don't know very well, it's not like this anymore, it's used by people a hundred or two hundred years ago."

Is the Wushan Gorge coffin famous?There are different opinions about how the coffins on the cliff were transported up there, but I probably know how it happened.

In the past, people would install a "wheel cart" on the top of the mountain, then separate the huge coffin boards, and send them down in batches on the top of the mountain with a wheel cart. After entering the cave, they would find skilled carpenters to quickly assemble them and place the remains of the deceased.

Think about it, if the whole coffin is transported down with people, it will be too heavy and difficult to handle!Those bodies in the coffin dangling in mid-air would have to vomit their ancestors, which is very disrespectful to the remains.

As the sky was getting dark, Bean Sprout asked how far away it was.

Brother Yang said: "It's still far away from Dahou Mountain. At least we won't be able to get there until tomorrow night. There is a cave in front of us. Let's stay there at night."

At the place, the cave is next to an unnamed small river, which is a branch of the Tuotuo River, and the water flows slowly. Lao Yang suddenly pointed to the small river and said, "Don't think this river is not big, but there are really treasures in this river. I can often see people fishing with nets in the river, but I have seen less in recent years."

"What baby?" I asked curiously.

He smiled and said, "There are a lot of knives. They are funeral knives inlaid with onyx. They are worth a lot of money."

"Is it true? Is it just a legend?" I asked in disbelief.

He said: "Of course it is true! Why are you lying to me? A friend of mine got a handful more than ten years ago, and he sold it for 2 yuan!"

"Then why is it called a burial knife, what is there to say?"

"This... Forget it, let me tell you."

He explained: "The upper reaches of this river is Tuotuo River. There used to be many people buried in water. Do you know what water burial is? It means separating people and throwing them into the river to feed fish! Sacrifice their souls to the river god of Tuotuo River. , This kind of red agate burial knife was used to divide human flesh, and after the division, some people threw the knife into the water, and as a result, the flood in 98 washed away a lot.”

After hearing what Lao Yang said, Xiaoxuan looked at Xiaohe with a slightly moved expression on her face.

I know that Xiaoxuan has different hobbies, she likes all kinds of knives and daggers, and there are at least seven different styles of knives in her bag!There was even a triangular army thorn with a short handle and a holster, I don't know when she bought it.

Sure enough, after eating dry food in the cave at night, Xiaoxuan came to me and asked me to accompany her to the river for a walk.

It was after eight o'clock and it was getting dark, so I said, "Don't go, Miss Xuan, that kind of agate knife is impossible to find, if it is easy to find, it would have been taken away by the locals."

Xiaoxuan was dissatisfied and said: "If you don't accompany me, then I will go by myself."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Bean Sprouts hurriedly said, "Don't! It's dark today, so it's not safe. Let us go with you."

Lao Yang was overjoyed after hearing this, and he said, "Be careful, then you go, it's impossible to find it."

The three of us arrived at the edge of the river, Xiaoxuan held up a flashlight and shone randomly on the river.

In the mountains, the moonlight is pale, and the water surface is sparkling.

Xiaoxuan suddenly pointed to the center of the river and said, "I feel like it might be there."

"Feeling? You can feel it!" Bean Sprouts said loudly.

"That's right," I said, "we can walk around the river, go back to bed early, and have another day of walking tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiaoxuan seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit...she stared fixedly at the middle of the river, and suddenly began to take off her coat.
