Chapter 180: Strange Cliff Tomb

Those giant golden antelopes with a bullish temperament stared at their big copper bell eyes. They stopped their snow-white bodies, swung their tails, and tilted their necks to look behind. The old golden takin also followed them casually.

Looking back. This made everyone frightened, wondering what they wanted to do.

After about two minutes, these golden antelopes began to move forward slowly again, and everyone continued to follow them and keep moving forward.

Those golden antelopes stopped and walked all the way to the west. After walking on a winding mountain road for about ten miles, the valley finally became open, and the surrounding peaks became very steep and beautiful.

Wearing a white snow cap or a transparent ice cap, it feels like celebrating Christmas, which is extremely spectacular.

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

Everyone followed the weak Qimige all the way to the west, and after walking for about ten miles on the mountain road, there appeared in front a 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, only the cliffs in front of us are unreachable, reaching up to the blue sky and white clouds.

What's 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 artificial holes, and some coffins are still looming inside.

There are hundreds of cave entrances going up there.

"Cliff tomb"! Seventh Brother exclaimed in surprise.

Suddenly, Qimig's face showed a smile and vitality.

"What the hell is a cliff tomb? Seventh Brother"? Snake King Erdanguo can't change his habit of eating shit, so he keeps asking questions.

Because he found a new target, Seventh Brother naturally felt "Long Yan is very happy", so he said patiently and happily: "The cliff tomb is the Manzi Cave, also known as the Rock Tomb and Xianren Stream. It is one of the tombs of the ancient ancestors."

a habit".

After hearing this, Snake King Erdan twisted his mouth in amusement and stammered: "It's really a trick."

You can encounter cliff tombs here, which makes Qi Ge energetic. The characteristics of these cliff tombs are that they are dug into square caves by manpower along the sandy rock formations of shallow hills and valleys, and then the remains and burial objects are buried. In the late Western Han Dynasty,

It began to develop and spread rapidly. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was as popular as the flu. After excessive development in the Shu, Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it even continued in many places until the Ming and Qing dynasties.

At present, the most representative and awesome cliff tombs in our country include Jiangkou Cliff Tomb, Sipo Cliff Tomb, Jintang Cliff Tomb, etc. This kind of unique cliff tomb first appeared in the Warring States Period, when the war was chaotic, because the society was in chaos at that time.

There were swords and weapons everywhere, and people had no peace while they were alive. For the peace of their souls after death, descendants were buried on the cliffs of high hills to prevent petty thieves from harassing their souls.

Moreover, this kind of unique cliff tombs located on the cliffs are not as simple as the tombs on the plains. They are often full of ingenuity and surprises. The earliest cliff tombs of the Warring States Period were concentrated in the Wuyi Mountain area of ​​Fujian Province. There were single caves and single burials, as well as joint burials.

For group burials in caves, the coffins are made of whole wood.

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

model of.

Then from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Six Dynasties, cliff tombs became extremely 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 form of funeral continued until the Tang and Song dynasties. Because it was so long ago that no one knew about it, the cliff tomb was attached to the "immortal cave" by later generations as a place for cultivating immortals and refining elixirs, and was considered "the ancient way to achieve Taoism".

"The place where people hide their elixirs". At this point, the cliff tomb has been cast into a mysterious and magical superstitious color.

These tomb robbers in front of us are the kind of guys who get excited when they see tombs. Now they see so many cliff tombs, densely packed like pigeon nests on the cliff. They can't help but dance with joy, thinking that they can make a fortune this time.

Money.

Especially Snake King Erdan, whose mouth was originally as crooked as the handle of a ladle. This time, because of his happiness, his mouth almost reached the base of his ears, and he couldn't stop having fun.

As for the tough Seventh Brother, he was even more happy. He put his hands on his waist, raised his head, lit a big pipe beautifully, and puffed out the smoke confidently at the foot of the high cliff.

But no one should be too happy too early, because the characteristic of this kind of tomb is that it is a tomb dug out of the cliff. It is more concealed and safer than the common tomb. If you want to climb up a hundred-meter-high cliff, you don't have the ability to climb over eaves and walls.

With excellent real kung fu, not to mention robbing graves, digging up graves, and searching for things, even my own life may be shattered to pieces and buried in the wild. How can it be that ordinary tomb robbers can peek and get rid of it.

But for the famous seven tomb robbers, it shouldn't be a problem.

These tombs that have been inherited since ancient times include single rooms, front and rear double rooms, and some are as complex as mazes.

In Sichuan, which borders Tibet, there are world-famous cliff tombs. With Meihua Village in Jiangkou Town as the center, there are a large number of cliff tombs in Saizi Mountain, Gaojiagou, Yanjinggou, Dayugou, Youfangou and other places.

Distributed with a total area of ​​more than 40 square kilometers, there are more than 4,000 cliff tombs.

The tombs in the Jiangkou cliff tombs are also very diverse, including boat-shaped chamber tombs, vertical shaft horizontal chamber tombs, rock chamber tombs combined with brick chambers, patio tombs and special-shaped tombs.

But compared to the cliff tombs here, they are much inferior.

After a while, Brother Qi blew out more than a dozen green smoke rings. After he had satisfied his craving for cigarettes, he knocked out the hot ash and sparks from his big pipe on the cliff. Then he took out Huang Sui'er's big wine gourd, bang.

Dong took two sips of highland barley wine, smashed it in his mouth, wiped his mouth vigorously and said: "Follow me, come on"!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ya took out his usual flying claw, and with a whoosh, he flew up to the protruding rock above. Following the rope of the flying claw, he quickly swung up. When he climbed to a height of three feet, he looked like a gecko.

It was attached to the cliff, took off the flying claw, swung upward again, and continued to fly upward.

The seventh brother was flying up above, and the golden retriever was looking up with its big scarlet tongue sticking out! The little howler monkey raised its big round head, opened its mouth, waved its paws, and cheered energetically.

It shook the surrounding areas and spread to three miles away. The black and noisy starling kept flapping its wings and flew upwards next to the seventh brother.
