The Lost Traces of Guide Chapter 53 On the Historical Value of Murals in the Yuan Dynasty
Feng Yu still had lingering fears. Compared with feeding the snakes, he still didn't want to go down into this tunnel. Who knows if there will be a second or third tunnel if this tunnel goes down. The design of Guide City is full of strange things.
They are interconnected, and it is not surprising that there is another underground palace within the underground palace.
At this time, Zhang Xiuxian suddenly woke up with a choke. He was dizzy. Maybe he couldn't regain his strength after being knocked unconscious just now.
Zhang Xiuxian climbed up from the ground with difficulty. Feng Yu helped him up, but he even asked Zhang Xiuxian a few questions but didn't get an answer.
"Zhang Xiuxian, please speak. Are you okay?"
Zhang Xiuxian didn't respond. Seeing that something was wrong, Feng Yu said to Feng Er: "Second uncle, Zhang Xiuxian didn't let the explosion make him stupid, right?"
"It shouldn't be serious. He may have tinnitus. Please let him slow down and talk to him again."
After about a few minutes, Zhang Xiuxian started to pull Feng Yu to ask how the situation was now. Except for the tinnitus that he could not hear clearly, there was no other problem. It was just that Feng Yu had to spend a lot of effort to explain the matter clearly. Golden Coffin
After it was blown up, a tunnel was hidden underground, and the second uncle wanted them to continue.
Zhang Xiuxian spoke very loudly because of tinnitus. He raised his voice and asked: "Is there a tomb under the tunnel? Is the tomb of the owner of Guide's Tomb down there? If it is really down there, then we must continue."
Feng Yu didn't explain much to Zhang Xiuxian. He knew that the tomb below was a golden mountain in Zhang Xiuxian's eyes. No matter how much he said, it was useless. As the saying goes, those who have never eaten pork have to see pigs running away.
Feng Er made a quick decision and said, "Don't waste time. Let's go down quickly. Maybe Zhang Manyue is waiting for us down there."
Feng Yu didn't know what his second uncle meant by his words, but he knew that he must have known something.
The three of them agreed and left. Before leaving, Zhang Xiuxian wanted to leave a bundle of explosives and send the python directly to heaven, but Feng Er stopped him. He said that the python has a lifespan of more than 500 years and is basically half a demon. Most people are
Those who cannot be killed, unless some Taoist priests with profound Taoist practices kill them and save them from reincarnation, otherwise this big python will haunt the family of the person who killed it for generations, and the destruction of the family and the lives of the people will be minor.
Besides, wasting explosives on an incapacitated python would not be worth the gain.
The three of them went all the way down into the tunnel, all the way down to the end. It was really a place with another world.
This tunnel is hidden in the underground tomb, and there is no way it has no secrets. Moreover, during the process of going down, the tomb passage is neatly built, and the masonry on the steps has edges and corners. There must be another mystery below.
After reaching the bottom of the tunnel, what unexpectedly appeared in front of the three of them was a long corridor. This should be the real underground palace of the tomb of Guide Mansion, and the tomb above was indeed a suspected tomb.
Layer after layer, the real tomb was hidden. Feng Yu guessed that the reason why the owner of Guide's tomb did this might be to create a mystery. He was the one who raised an army to seize the throne. Naturally, such a person should not be allowed to be killed.
Find the cemetery at will.
When the three of them saw the tunnel appearing in front of them, they felt that there was no way out, and there was another village. Zhang Xiuxian said excitedly: "I knew there must be something else down there. This is the real tomb. What does it mean to be reluctant to let go of the child?"
Wolf, you’re talking about people like me. If you give up the small one to the big one, who would you give up to me?”
Zhang Xiuxian, who was still regretting exploding the golden coffin, saw his regret disappear instantly after seeing the underground tomb chamber.
Feng Yu was walking at the front holding a lantern, and the three of them walked along the corridor to the underground palace of the tomb without much hesitation.
There are brightly colored murals on both sides of the corridor. The paintings are very sophisticated, and the colors have not faded for thousands of years. The bricks and stones of the corridor are perfectly jointed. It can be said without a doubt that this place is either the burial place of the owner of Guide Tomb, or
If another snake was buried, then the owner of the damn tomb must be mentally ill.
The width of the corridor on both sides is about nine meters. The ancients were very particular about numbers. The corridor is five meters high and nine meters wide, which indicates that the tomb owner is a nine-five-year-old supreme figure.
The contents of the murals are mostly narrative. The tomb owners depicted have great achievements in their lives, and the characters in the paintings are mostly Mongolian nomads. This is the same as Zhang Xiuxian’s examination of the data. The identity of the tomb owner is most likely that of Ali Bu, who failed to seize the throne.
Sweat profusely.
Then again, most of those who can resell antiques are experts. Zhang Xiuxian has been in the antique business for several years and has a good understanding of ancient antiques, calligraphy and painting. Over time, he can imitate cats and tigers. I heard that there was a village in Shaanxi back then.
, tomb robbing became common, and 90% of the village's income depended on tomb robbing. As time went by, everyone in the village became good at reading calligraphy, paintings, bottles, jars, antiques and objects.
Zhang Xiuxian lit up his hand and took a closer look at the mural on the corridor. He said: "This painting is a fake at a loss of ten. Looking at the depiction of characters, only the Yuan Dynasty spent so much time on it. Yuan murals were very prosperous. It has learned
The essence of the Tang and Song dynasties is combined with the traditional characteristics of the Liao and Jin dynasties. The murals in the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty were popular at that time."
"I can't tell, you are still a fake intellectual." Feng Yu replied.
"What is a fake intellectual? I've learned it little by little. If it's fake, I'm sure it's fake. If you don't believe it, I'll tell you about other knowledge."
Zhang Xiuxian seemed to be very interested in these murals. He went on to say: "The murals in the tomb represent the life of the tomb owner, including those that praise merits, the soul's ascension after death, and the various styles of enjoying the joys of the world. Moreover, the Yuan Dynasty murals are large in scale.
There are many characters in the painting, the content is rich, and the painting work is extremely fine. For example, the mural in front of you depicts the tomb owner’s grand hunting scene on the grassland. There are at least hundreds of characters, and none of the expressions of these hundreds of people are repeated. This is called fineness.
, the pasture at the back, the mountains in the distance, the galloping horses, and the tomb owner's graceful appearance all demonstrate the painter's ability. I'm not saying that, just build this mural and sell it for less than 10,000 oceans. You can find it.
I come."
When Feng Yu heard what Zhang Xiuxian said, what was the concept of ten thousand oceans? It was a considerable amount of wealth. If nothing else, it would be enough for an army to spend for a year. No wonder Cao Cao used it in ancient times.
Grave robbing is a means of maintaining military spending.
The second cover said on the side: "These things are all lies. This mural may have some artistic value at most, but it has no effect on historical records. Who would let future generations scold him?"
Feng Er was not interested in these murals. There were so many under his tomb that he was not surprised to see many murals in the tomb. He was like a mirror in his mind as to which ones were real and which ones were fake.
"Senior, you can't say death in one sentence. The content is false but it's all a kind of sustenance. People have been dead for hundreds of years. Why are you arguing with a dead person? What he did during his lifetime has long been buried in history.
Now, we should be more realistic. This Yuan mural is a good thing and must be protected and respected, but its artistic and economic value cannot be ignored."
Feng Yu smiled after hearing this: "I don't think you can ignore its economic value."
"Okay, the corridor is still very long, and there are many things behind the murals. You guys should be quiet for a moment and listen to the sound of running water here?" Feng Er said.
Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian calmed down to listen to the sound of water that Feng Er mentioned. After listening quietly, there seemed to be a subtle sound of water in the stone wall across the corridor.
"There is the sound of water flowing, uncle, is this the underground river?" Feng Yu thought of the suspension bridge he walked across when entering Guide City. He was still the underground river that Zhang Manyue took away. He remembered that place so clearly.
However, Zhang Manyue has disappeared now.
Zhang Manyue's skill and flexibility in the tomb are not what Feng Yu and the others need to worry about. If they really need to worry, they should think about whether the three of them can find the owner of the tomb without Zhang Manyue's guidance. Although Feng Yu's experience
Old Taoist, but after all, he has lost an arm and his body is not as good as before. If he falls into the trap of the tomb again, it will be really difficult to deal with him.
Zhang Xiuxian and Feng Er entered from the bridge. Naturally, they heard the flow of the underground river below. Zhang Xiuxian heard the sound and said: "Yes, that's right, it's that underground river. Is this tomb made of the underground river?"
Surrounded?"
Feng Er disagreed, thinking about it and said: "This place is a feng shui treasure. Basically, everything that should be occupied is taken. But then again, some people just can't see others being nice. If it weren't for the mountains in Night Vale,
Temple, I’m afraid the tomb owner can turn into an immortal king.”
"What kind of fairy is not an immortal? In my opinion, it is just a snake spirit. How can anyone bury a big python in a golden coffin? The strange thing is that this big python can still live. Don't you think it's annoying?" Zhang Xiuxian pointed out.
He looked at his own embarrassment and said.
The second cover letter rarely agrees with Zhang Xiuxian's point of view, "You are right about this. He may really be a snake king, at least he has a lot to do with snakes."
The second cover pointed to several murals at the back and said to the two of them: "What do you see on the paintings?"
According to the second cover, Zhang Xiuxian and Feng Yu discovered strange pictures on several murals at the end of the corridor.
