In the long history of our country, a variety of myths and legends have been born, from Pangu to open the world and learn from the west, China's myths and legends have become a system of their own. Although these myths and legends are fictional, they all have corresponding cultures behind them, such as Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, because the ancients have been thinking about how this piece of heaven and earth came from, so there is such a myth, such as Journey to the West, which is the ancients based on Xuanzang's westward journey to learn the scriptures, this true story adapted.
One: The mysterious nine-story demon tower
I believe that friends who love tomb robbery books must be very familiar with the nine-story demon tower, which is more similar to other myths and legends in the history of our country, and it is also based on some real things, and then artistic processing. In the last century, China has found the prototype of the nine-story demon tower, but in the archaeological excavations that followed, only two layers were dared to be excavated. So what do you know about the remaining seven floors? The following brings you the story of the nine-story demon tower.
The nine-story demon pagoda is located in a small town in China's Qinghai Province, and there are a large number of ancient tombs densely distributed around it. According to statistics, there are more than 200 ancient tombs in this area, the largest of which is the nine-story demon tower. In fact, the nine-story demon tower is only a folk name, in the official information, its name is the Blood Wei No. 1 Tomb, is one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China, and has now become a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Second, Ma Bufang's excavation
In 1940, Ma Bufang, the leader of the Ma family army, came to this mysterious land, and he came here because a lieutenant who touched gold told him that the legendary nine-story demon tower was found here, which contained countless gold and silver treasures. When Ma Bufang first came here, he immediately arranged a large number of personnel to find the location of the nine-story demon tower, and under the continuous search of everyone, he finally found the nine-story demon tower, and soon the excavation was carried out.
It was said that it was only the treasure of the first layer at that time, and Ma Bufang and his men moved for three days and three nights, and they were extremely excited, so they dug down again, and soon dug to the second floor. However, the second layer did not have the imaginary treasure, but was covered with all kinds of animal bones, which made them a little discouraged, so they decided to rest for a day. The next day, Ma Bufang led his men to start excavating, and finally dug the gate of the third floor. At this time, there was an incredible scene, some people in the team continued to go crazy inexplicably, and also attacked the people around them with guns, the team was instantly chaotic, and everyone hurriedly fled the nine-story demon tower.
Where did this group go? No one knows, but there is a local saying that the Ma family army has gone to war, so they left here in a hurry. There is another local theory, saying that Ma Jiajun encountered something unclean in the nine-story demon tower, so he was scared away. After Ma Jiajun left, the local residents filled in the large pit they had dug, and the nine-story demon tower was buried underground again. In the time that followed, because of Ma Jiajun's original story, only a very small number of lieutenants who were particularly bold and bold dared to come here again. Third, only the second layer was dug
Later, in the 1990s, the police found that there were often various precious cultural relics flowing out of the area, which attracted the attention of the police and organized a team to visit the local area. When the expedition arrived, local residents said that these artifacts were handed down from the nine-story demon tower. This can shock the experts, originally everyone thought that this was just a legend, but did not expect that it really existed.
Later, a professional archaeological team came here to prepare for the excavation of the nine-story demon tower. This time in the first floor of the nine-story demon tower, a large number of cultural relics were found, of which more than 300 pieces of silk fabrics were found, and experts also came to a conclusion that the legendary Silk Road Qinghai Line existed. Soon the excavations reached the second layer, and experts found a large number of animal bones, thus confirming that the legend of Ma Bufang was true.
As the experts prepared to excavate the third floor, local residents came running to ask everyone not to excavate any more. Everyone was also surprised, and then they learned that the locals believed that the nine-story demon tower was used to suppress evil spirits and must not be excavated. Naturally, everyone did not believe this statement, but in order to prevent the excavation, the local people carried out various disturbances in the project, and finally in order to appease the emotions of the local residents, this time only excavated to the second floor, and there was no further excavation. epilogue
Now the nine-story demon tower has been sealed and has become a local tourist attraction. In general, it is a pity to stop excavations, no one knows how many cultural relics will be inside, but we must also respect the wishes of the local people, after all, this is the concept handed down from generation to generation. But it doesn't matter if you don't excavate, the nine-story demon tower is there, even if it is not excavated, it will not disappear, maybe one day in the future, the excavation work will start again, at that time, the veil of this history will really be revealed, let us look forward to that day together.
