Origin

Chapter 81 Jade Guanyin



Not only Wu Zhongyuan was excited, but Wang Xinran could not suppress the excitement in his heart. The porcelain doll's head and body were not far apart, which showed that Wu Zhongyuan's previous analysis was correct. The porcelain doll was washed out of the tomb by the rain, and it was washed out. The time is not long.

Searching along the winding ravine, I soon found another porcelain doll, half buried in the sand with some weeds attached to it.

This porcelain doll was discovered by Wu Zhongyuan. After picking it up and looking at it carefully, he found that this porcelain doll was also a porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty. The shape of the porcelain doll was complete. It was the same type as the previously discovered doll. They were both burial dolls, but the shape was slightly different. This one The doll holds a windmill in its hand and has a happy smile on its face.

Wu Zhongyuan was not only excited at this time, but also happy, because the appearance of the second porcelain doll meant that he was closer to the grave of Qian Yunzhi's youngest son. In addition, this doll was complete. If it was seen by nearby farmers, it would definitely It would be picked up, which indirectly shows that no one has been here after the tomb was damaged by rain.

"Look, there it is." Wang Xinran cheered excitedly.

Wu Zhongyuan raised his head when he heard the sound and looked north as Wang Xinran pointed. He saw a large number of artifacts including porcelain dolls piled up in the mountain col to the north. Most of these artifacts were buried in the sand, with only a small part of them exposed.

The pile of utensils was only ten meters away from the two of them. After Wang Xinran shouted, he ran over first. Although Wu Zhongyuan was very excited, he walked over. By this time, he was already half at ease, because there were gold and silver in those utensils. If someone finds the utensils, they will definitely dig them out and take them away, and no part of them will be left behind.

When Wu Zhongyuan walked over, Wang Xinran had already begun to dig out the pile of artifacts buried in the sand with his bare hands. While digging, he kept saying, "It's very dangerous."

Wu Zhongyuan did not dig with Wang Xinran, but looked up to observe the situation above. The pile of artifacts was not scattered at the bottom of the ditch. The rainwater flowing down from the upstream flowed from the side of the pile of artifacts to the downstream. The pile of artifacts was in the middle of the ditch. Ahead is a relatively steep mountain wall, about five meters high. Some small shrubs grow on the stone wall. In the upper middle area of ​​the mountain wall, there is a circular hole with a diameter of about one meter. At this time, the circular hole is The entrance to the shaped hole was blocked, and what blocked it was a decayed and broken wooden coffin.

While Wu Zhongyuan looked up, Wang Xinran had already dug out a lot of utensils from the sand pile, most of which were gold and silver utensils. Most of these utensils were living utensils, including gold cups, gold bowls, silver plates, and silver chopsticks. It's exquisite, but on the small side. It was obviously specially built to be buried with children.

In addition to these, there are several porcelain dolls. These dolls have different shapes and hold different objects in their hands, but they all have playful postures and happy expressions.

"If we arrive a few days late, the consequences will be disastrous." Wang Xin then became very scared.

"We should be glad that it is neither the busy farming season nor the wood-cutting season." Wu Zhongyuan looked up at the circular hole on the stone wall above. The circular hole was completely blocked by the coffin inside, which means that the coffin inside It's bigger than the round hole. If that's the case, how did the coffin fit in?

Wang Xinran didn't know that Wu Zhongyuan had made a new discovery, and was still busy with her head down. It wasn't until Wu Zhongyuan pulled her that she followed Wu Zhongyuan's line of sight and saw the circular hole in the stone wall covered by shrubs.

"It turns out these things came down from above." Wang Xinran said,

"The terrain there is very high, so you shouldn't rush there even if it rains heavily," Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Don't worry about it,

Should we look below first or above? "Wang Xinran looked up, looking for a climbing route.

"Search separately." After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, he jumped up, grabbed a protruding rock near the round hole with one hand, and observed the coffin in the grotto at close range. Although the coffin was incomplete and damaged, the whole was still intact. Judging from the wood, it should be very valuable golden nanmu.

But the grotto is round, and the coffin is square, and the volume of the coffin is larger than the entrance of the grotto. Even after several attempts, the coffin could not be dragged out of the grotto.

Looking around the grotto, there are no signs of compression. How on earth was this coffin put in in the first place?

They said they were working separately, so Wang Xinran had no intention of continuing to dig and organize. He kept looking up. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was unable to drag the coffin out, he reminded him, "Is there another entrance to the cave?"

Wang Xinran's reminder really reminded Wu Zhongyuan. He gave up dragging and climbed to the top of the stone wall. Sure enough, he found clues. The peak where the grotto is located is an isolated peak, only more than five meters high. To the north of the isolated peak, there is a large area that is level with or even higher than the peak. There may have been a heavy rain earlier in the mountains. A large amount of rainwater rushed down from the north, part of which flowed into the ravine on the right, and some of which rushed towards the mountain.

This mountain peak runs north to south. There is also a hole on the north side of the mountain, but this hole is square and about two meters in diameter. At this time, a large amount of silt has accumulated in this hole.

"Have you found anything?" Wang Xinran shouted from below.

"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan replied. He guessed that Qian Yunzhi would not bury his young son too far away, nor would he bury his young son in the dark side. But he did not expect that Qian Yunzhi would hollow out the mountain top to place the coffin. This place The location of Gufeng is right in front of Qian Yunzhi's grave.

Although there were a large number of funerary objects under the mountain wall, Wang Xinran was more concerned about what was in the coffin. He gave up his work and walked around to the top of the cliff. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan was digging out the mud in the square hole with his bare hands.

"It turns out they are worn in pairs." Wang Xinran suddenly realized.

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan said, "Before, I only thought that he would not bury his young son in the dark side, nor let his young son leave his sight, but I did not expect that he would carve a mountain into a tomb. This is the best of both worlds, and it is just a project Huge amount.”

"Yes, this mountain peak is seven or eight meters long from north to south. It is not easy to carve out such a large space." Wang Xinran wanted to smoke, but when he touched his pocket, he remembered that the cigarettes had been finished long ago. Since there was no cigarette to smoke, Just lend a hand and help.

"If you want to bury someone, just dig a hole. Why dig another one from the south?" Wang Xinran was confused.

"Not only because of his love for his son, but also because of Feng Shui considerations," Wu Zhongyuan picked out a gold ingot from the mud he dug out, threw it aside and continued digging, "There are many differences between the Yang house and the Yin house. One of them is that the Yang house has The door has a window, but the Yin Mansion has a door but no windows. If you have a door but no windows, you will never come back. The round hole in the south was supposed to be camouflaged, but later it became weathered and crispy, and the water poured in from the north door and directly broke through the window. , and flushed out some of the funerary objects inside."

"Why don't you open the door from the south? What's the point of this?" Wang Xinran asked casually.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "This doesn't seem to be particular, but Qian Yunzhi's grave is in the north. He may have hoped that his children could go home when they opened the door, and they could see the scenery in the distance when they opened the window."

Although Wu Zhongyuan's statement had no basis, Wang Xinran still accepted this explanation, because there were too many burial objects in the tomb, which showed Qian Yunzhi's love for this young son, and this also indirectly explained Qian Yunzhi's love for his young son after his death. Why did he suffer such a blow and die in depression?

The two worked together and quickly dug up the coffin. Wu Zhongyuan grabbed the coffin and pulled it outwards, but there was mud around the coffin and it could not be dragged.

There was only room for one person to reach out, and Wang Xinran couldn't help, so he climbed down the stone wall to the south and kicked hard with his feet, while Wu Zhongyuan pulled hard from the north. The two worked together to finally drag the coffin out.

Compared with ordinary coffins, this coffin is very small and is obviously used to bury children.

When Wu Zhongyuan prayed silently and apologized to the deceased, Wang Xinran couldn't wait to lift the coffin lid.

Due to the ventilation, the corpse in the coffin has completely decomposed, even the bones have softened, and the clothes have long been turned into dust. Since most of the funerary objects are placed outside the coffin, in addition to the bones, only some of the things worn by the tomb owner during his lifetime are left in the coffin. accessories.

It is clear at a glance that there is no spirit stone.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was disappointed, Wang Xinran pinched something from the corner of the coffin. Since it was pinched, it would naturally not be very big.

Wu Zhongyuan looked carefully and saw that what Wang Xinran was holding was a Guanyin pendant made of Hetian jade. Judging from the color of the jade, it was undoubtedly carved from a spiritual stone, but it was very small, probably less than ten grams, and only had other spiritual stones. Quarter size…
