There is a red jade dragon coiled on the throne. When you shine it with your wolf eyes, the dragon's body suddenly shines brightly. There is a billowing red light. It is actually full of mercury. However, this hollow mercury dragon is not strange. What really attracts our attention is
The front half of this dragon.
What is entrenched on the throne is only a small part of the dragon body, including the dragon's tail, which plunges into the wall. The dragon's tail and claws are resting on the back of the throne, which looks a bit lazy. Most of the front part of the dragon's body is
They are all undulating and inlaid on the back wall of the throne, integrating with the paintings on the palace wall, giving the entire mural a strong sense of layering without any abrupt incongruity. Its conception is amazing and its craftsmanship
All the essences have reached the state of transformation. The world often says: The dragon cannot see its tail. However, the dragon on the throne and the wall has no tail, as if this hollow mercury jade dragon is coming to life and flying into the mural.
The large-scale mural combined with the dragon body shows the scene of the king becoming an immortal and ascending to heaven. In the painting, the fairy clouds are like a sea, with incense smoke lingering. The stretching mountain peaks and palaces are looming in the clouds. The clouds, mist and mountain lights are full of agility.
.The most prominent red jade dragon rises towards the sea of ​​clouds. A red gap opens in the sky, and half of the dragon's head has penetrated into it. The dragon's body is connected to the throne in the Lingyun Tiangong. A crown prince is stepping on it surrounded by his ministers.
Putting on the body of a dragon, he slowly ascended to the sky.
This king is probably the King of Xian. He is much taller than the average person. He is wearing a round-necked and wide python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown on his head. There is a bead embedded in the crown, which looks like a human eye. He is clearly the king.
The appearance of Muchen Bead.
The king has three strands of long beard. We can’t tell how old he is, and his face is not very ferocious. It is different from what we imagined beforehand. I always think that the tyrant should have a face full of flesh and a curly beard, and this figure
The portrait of the king has a solemn and peaceful expression. I guess it was artificially beautified.
At the highest point of the picture, there is an old man riding a crane. He has a white beard and a smiling face, looking down. Behind him are countless immortals who have emerged from the world. Although their postures are different, their expressions are very respectful, and they are welcoming.
King Xian who ascended to heaven on the body of a dragon.
I couldn't stop reading. It turns out that the so-called collapse of the sky is about the scene where the Immortal King becomes an immortal on the right path, not whether outsiders can enter the Xuan Palace and the Hades Palace. This matter must be extremely confidential, and it must not be a close confidant of King Xian.
Hard to know.
There are two small paintings at the corners of the large mural in the middle. They are both scenes of kings offering sacrifices when they ascend to heaven. Bodies are filled with corpses in bronze cauldrons and burned. The situation is so horrific that I didn’t take a closer look.
The fat man said: According to what is depicted in this mural, King Xian should have gone to heaven to become a god. It seems that we have missed the opportunity. The underground palace of the king's tomb is 80% empty already. I think we might as well chisel this dragon.
Let's burn this heavenly palace with fire again. Go back as soon as possible to find a new owner and sell the jade dragon. Then you will get a windfall, and then you can eat and drink.
He said: No, this is just wishful thinking of King Xian during his lifetime. How could such a thing in the world be possible for a mortal to become an immortal?
If I agreed, I said to the two of them: We have reached the top of the king's tomb, why don't we go into the underground palace to fight? Besides, have you seen the portrait of the king in this painting and the golden crown on his head?
Embedded on it is the phoenix courage that can save our lives.
The three of them discussed for a while and decided to first search the Lingyun Palace, and then find out whether the holes in the pool were the tomb passages of the underground palace, and then take action overnight. In any case, seeing is believing, so they could only turn over the bright objects in the underground palace.
After all, if you still can't find the Muchen Bead, it means your luck is bad. It's not too late to do it again. This is called doing everything possible to ensure destiny.
Before the Qin Dynasty, the palace was a core facility integrating large-scale sacrificial activities and political governance, with multiple functions. Until the Qin Dynasty, it was only established as a separate residence for the emperor who slept in the front and back.
As for the Ming Tower above the emperor's tomb, the back hall should be a sacrificial hall, not a sleeping hall. There should be many inscriptions and murals praising his virtues for future generations to worship and admire.
We have never seen what the Qin Palace looks like, but the Lingyun Tiangong should be similar to the Afang Palace in the Qin Dynasty. Although it is certainly not as large as the Afang Palace that burned in March, it may surpass it in terms of situation.
I think that Qin Shihuang was also the first emperor among the ancient emperors to be the most dedicated to refining elixirs and cultivating immortality. However, the first emperor probably never dreamed that his men would build a heavenly palace as a tomb, which was much more prominent than his Qin Mausoleum.
We thought about it and then turned to the back hall. I walked at the end and couldn't help but look back at the bronze man and beast in the middle of the hall. I still couldn't help but feel doubtful in my heart. I always felt that something was not quite right.
I feel an indescribable sense of disharmony.
When I turned around, she was standing still waiting for me. Her expression seemed to be thinking about the same thing as me, but I didn't realize what was wrong for the moment. I shook my head and didn't need to think too much for the time being. Anyway,
The boat naturally straightened out when it reached the bridge, so they headed to the apse side by side.
Passing through a short corridor, we came to the even darker back palace hall. Looking at the inscriptions in the corridor, this second half is called Shangzhen Hall. There are many inscriptions in the hall, and there are eight separate mural walls. Although the hall is deep, it is because of the stone tablets.
There are many painted walls, but they still seem a little cramped, but they are quite reasonable. The eight painted walls are arranged in the shape of nine palaces and eight trigrams. Each wall is made of large bricks, all with white background and three-color painting.
In addition to some murals reflecting war scenes, there are almost one brick, one painting, one or two figures, or two or three animals, and architectural equipment, covering the political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, military, national, and other human and military fields of the Xianwang period.
.
These may be priceless treasures for scholars who study chronological history, but they are of little use to people like me who are looking for gold. I only hope to find some information about the situation in the king's tomb palace, but all of a sudden
, it’s dazzling to see, how can you see so much.
There are no less than thousands of murals in these eight mural walls. Combined with the stone tablets and inscriptions in the temple, the whole is a complete collection of historical materials of the Dian Kingdom. I used my wolf-eye flashlight to select the large murals and took a few glances.
, and after a few more explanations, I finally understood it.
The large murals are all war scrolls, recording the two wars commanded by King Xian during his lifetime. The first was with the Yelang Kingdom, which was regarded as a barbarian in the southwest during the Han Dynasty. The second war was with King Xian.
After breaking away from the ruling system of the ancient Dian Kingdom, they massacred the local barbarians at the foot of Longshan Mountain.
Both wars were a complete victory. The enemy was heavily killed, a large number of prisoners of war were captured, and many items were seized. At that time, the social structure of the two opponents was still in the late stage of slave ownership, and their production methods were extremely backward and primitive.
The bronze smelting technology was far inferior to that of the Dian Kingdom, which inherited the methods of the Qin people, so it collapsed at the first blow and was no match for the Dian people.
There were a large number of slaves among the prisoners of war. These prisoners of war and slaves became the main force in the construction of the king's tomb in the future. Naturally, these achievements were exaggerated in the murals and inscriptions.
However, the murals still do not have any description of the underground palace of the king's tomb. There is a mural on one wall. The Ministry of Human Resources and Military Affairs is offering sacrifices, including inviting celestial beings to perform divination and perform witchcraft. The scene is so weird that I used a camera to capture all these murals. Maybe
It will be useful in the future when deciphering the secret of Muchen Bead.
When the fat man saw that the apse was full of these things, he suddenly felt bored. He carried a submachine gun and flashlight, wandering around in it. Suddenly something appeared in the middle of the mural wall, and he quickly called me over to take a look.
It turns out that there is a large six-legged bronze tripod standing on the ground in the middle of the hall. The tripod is covered with a copper lid and there is a huge copper ring on each side. The six legs of the bronze tripod are six half-kneeling mythical beasts, with vigorous shapes.
It is simple and simple, with muscles all over its body and scales all over its body, making it roar. In terms of shape, it is very similar to a unicorn.
This bronze tripod was surprisingly big. For some reason, it was painted completely black without any decorative patterns. In the dark palace, we only noticed the inscriptions and murals until the fat man wandered into the middle and called us to come and take a look.
Only when you get close can you see it, otherwise it would not be easy to see this giant cauldron blended into the darkness.
The fat man tapped the body of the urn with the butt of his gun, and immediately there was a dull echo, and asked me: Could it be that there were too many artifacts buried with them, and they couldn't fit in the underground palace, so it would be a good idea to store them here temporarily and open them to take a look first.
Said: This is probably the big cauldron used to cook corpses in the ceremony. The mouth of the cauldron is still sealed. This means that King Xian did not disintegrate his body and transform into immortals. His bones are still in the coffin of the underground palace, otherwise there would be no need to seal this huge cauldron.
Already.
I said to Fatty He: No one knows what this is for. If it is a sacrificial vessel used to cook cattle and sheep for sacrifice, it should be a cauldron instead of a tripod. Besides, this is probably not a urn or tripod at all.
,How come the tripod has six legs?
The three of them insisted on their own words, but could not convince each other, so they prepared to see what happened. This time we came here for a purpose. In order to find the Muchen Bead, we will never let go of any suspicious places. The black copper tripod tentacles
However, I took out the coffin-opening claw from the fat man's backpack, scraped open the paint sealing the mouth of the cauldron, and saw a stamp on the paint. The pattern was of a criminal who had been chained through the bones of a lute. Since there was a stamp
It means it has never been turned on.
After scraping off the fire paint, I tried it with the needle on the top of the probing claw. There was no obstruction to the connection at the mouth of the tripod. Just take off the lid of the tripod. Then I called the fat man to come over and help. The two of them grabbed the copper ring.
As soon as he screamed his arms, he heard a burst of gurgling and heying laughter coming from the depths of the lifeless palace. The voice sounded like a woman, but her cunning and cold laughter definitely had no good intentions.
Like ice and frost, it seems to be able to freeze people's hearts. Book Alliance
