Chapter 21 [Bronze coffin vertical coffin]
When I just left the main hall full of human figurines and entered this room, I just took a quick glance to make sure there was no danger, so I didn't take a closer look and collapsed on the ground to lie down.WWW.tsxsw.COM
At this time, I started to really observe this room.
It is not accurate to say that it is a room. To be precise, it should be a hall-like building. There is an open door on the four walls. To the south is the main hall where the human figurines live.
In the room to the north, there are some bottles, jars, gold and stone utensils and other things piled up. If you take out any one, it can be regarded as a top-grade thing. I took a casual look and there was a gilded silver tower, a fish
Rare treasures such as dragon-tilted silver pots and pagoda jars from the Tang Dynasty are scattered on the ground. There are also some jades and porcelains of different shapes and materials scattered on the ground. They are so jewel-like that they dazzle your eyes.
Normally, I would be so happy to see this room of treasures. But at this time, after experiencing the thrill just now, and being curious about the "general map of the tombs in the world" mentioned by Zeng Wenwen, I couldn't bear to take out the treasure.
Big sack, the urge to stuff it into it desperately.
In the room to the west, there are wooden shelves neatly arranged, with piles of ashes piled on them. According to the layout of the tombs at that time, the burial objects placed in this room should be silk and satin.
Now it seems that it is just worthless ashes. At that time, this was a beautiful silk that could be used directly as currency!
Maybe, it was during any earthquake in the past thousand years; maybe, it was the first noise after we stepped into this room that turned these gorgeous fabrics from more than a thousand years ago into the invisible dust in front of us.
.
In the room to the east, there are some piles of swords, guns and clubs, halberds and axes, strong bows and crossbows, and even a complete horse bone lying on the ground. It seems that what is piled here is in front of the tomb owner.
The collection of weapons, as well as his beloved horse. Thousands of years ago, these weapons may have emitted a faint cold light, making the enemy tremble in fear; a thousand years ago, this horse skeleton may have been a good horse that could travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night.
, galloping on the grassland like chasing the wind and the moon. But in front of them, the rusty swords and the remains of good horses. The moment their master passed away, it was the beginning of their thousand years of being covered in dust.
These are just ordinary things, nothing strange. The really weird thing is a huge bronze block standing in the middle of the house.
To be precise, this should be a copper coffin. However, I have seen a lot of copper coffins, but I have never seen one so big. It is as big as a small room, square, and more than 3 meters in length and width.
It's really huge.
The gaps in this copper coffin are so tight that if it weren’t for the loud reverberation when I hit it, I would have thought it was a solid copper block! The five of us walked around the copper coffin for a long time, but we couldn’t find any mechanism that could be opened. No matter where it was,
The splicing is tight, not even a single seam.
What's going on? We can't let it happen by force, right? Even if we wanted to force it, we don't have the tools. We've already fed those strange fish.
"Taozi, look, there is a relief on it."
This is called different purposes and different behaviors. We came here for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, so we focused on finding the mechanism. Hellen came here for the sake of archeology, so we wandered around the reliefs.
What's strange about the reliefs? I've seen them a lot. Which tomb owner didn't carve these things on his final resting place? At first I looked at them with great interest, but after seeing more, I inevitably lost interest.
Basically everything is there, but there is no truth. What's better is that it shows his merits in building bridges, repairing roads, and opening warehouses to release grain. But in fact? He is just a very evil landlord.
Zhou Bapi and the like.
The most extreme thing is to engrave some gods and ghosts on it, such as cloud chariots, heavenly gates, mythical beasts, etc. In short, it means that as soon as the old man returns to the west, the heavenly gate will open immediately, and the gods will run away.
Come out to meet him.
He really takes himself seriously. In fact, he is either a wealthy businessman or a petty official who has become an official. Anyway, he cannot be compared with gods and the like, and he will not be able to live with him while he is alive.
I don't see him having any magical powers, let alone any merits.
Anyway, that's what it's all about. He either shows off how he has done good deeds in life, or he hopes to become a saint after death, and live forever. He has everything, but lacks some meaningful things, such as: Where is that damn mechanism? I
I went around three times, but I didn't see a single protruding place, not to mention a mechanism, not even a place to hold hands. It was really a ghost.
"Taozi, the things here are very interesting, let me tell you!" Hellen's voice came from beside her, and you can feel her excitement just by listening to the voice.
Is it really so interesting? I became interested and listened to her narration quietly.
According to what is said on the relief, this so-called "Earth Immortal" is really not an ordinary person. He comes from a very strange world. The people around him have long protruding eyes, big and windy ears, and horses on their crotches.
They are unusually large and have four legs that are born with wind. Those people also have huge wings that can fly freely in the sky.
The strange thing is that the "Earth Immortal" living next to these weirdos looks like an ordinary person. If the record of the relief is true, I really don't know how he survived among those monsters.
This "Earth Immortal" often appears in some dark and low rooms. He comes in empty-handed and comes out with his hands full of gold beads. Darling, don't let me guess it right. You are really trying to win, right?
During one operation, he seemed to be attacked by something and fainted on the ground. When he woke up again, the world was different. There were no longer those strange human figures around him, but some ancient people dressed in ancient costumes.
.Obviously, this is the first appearance of the "Earth Immortal". It seems that he is really not from that world, but just appeared in the Tang Dynasty for some strange reasons.
After that, the remaining reliefs were carved on the copper coffin with extremely complicated and trivial brushwork, all the big and small events in his life. Our country's carvings and murals have always been about minimalism and expressiveness.
, the meaning is basically guesswork. The reliefs here are just the opposite. They are complicated to the point of being extremely inhumane. I wondered at the time, if this copper coffin was made so big, could it be because it was too small to carve so many reliefs?
Bar!
If what these reliefs say is true, then there is no guarantee that this "earth immortal" really has magic that ordinary people cannot reach. After all, he comes from another world. He might be an alien or something. He has some special functions.
Not surprising. If you put it this way, the value of the "General Map of Tombs in the World" will have to be re-evaluated. It seems a bit disadvantageous to hand it over like this.
While I was thinking about it, my eyes were scanning randomly on the copper coffin. Everywhere I saw were reliefs, which made my head spin for a while. This kid must have been a show-off before his death. If I tell you to die, just die.
As for engraving your life in such detail? Just tell me about your origins. As for engraving even an outing so clearly? Boss, there is a broken carriage under the sun and a smelly man leaning next to it. This makes sense.
? It’s actually carved right into the center, it’s just...
As I said this to myself, my heart suddenly moved, and I lay down and stared at the relief carefully to study it. It looked weird, but I couldn't see what was weird, until I groped for the huge relief.
The sun finally laughed out loud, that's it.
He took out the bronze mirror from his pocket, pressed it to the center of the relief where the sun was, and slowly turned it, slowly aligning the characters cast on the mirror with the grooves inside the sun, and then
Press firmly in.
With a "click" sound, the bronze mirror was embedded tightly into the relief, seamlessly integrating into it, as if it were born from nature. As the bronze mirror was embedded, the mechanical sound of "click, click" sounded continuously, from below
