Although the old doctor was a little confused about what kind of mausoleum he was asking about at this point, he suddenly thought that the Sun King wanted to build his own mausoleum, but it was too early.
It was inconvenient to think too much at this time, so the old doctor quickly responded: "The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is located at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong District, Xix City, Xixi Province. It is the eighth wonder of the world. According to historical records, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng began construction when he ascended the throne at the age of 13.
The cemetery was planned and designed by Prime Minister Li Si and supervised by General Zhang Han. The construction took 38 years and a total of 700,000 laborers were used to build the cemetery. The total area of the cemetery is 56.25 square kilometers (equivalent to the size of 78 Forbidden City). The land on the mausoleum is sealed.
It is about 115 meters high and is still 76 meters high. There are two layers of inner and outer city walls in the cemetery. The inner city has a circumference of 3840 meters and the outer city has a circumference of 6210 meters. The inner and outer walls have walls about 810 meters high, and a magnificent building is built inside the inner city.
The underground palace has a sun, moon and stars made of pearls on the top, and rivers and lakes made of mercury are arranged underground. The vastness of the project and the grandeur of the spirit set a precedent for the extravagant burials of feudal rulers in the past.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, mobilized 300,000 troops to dig for half a month, and finally dug out the entrance to the tomb. However, when he was about to open the tomb door, the anti-theft crossbows inside fired thousands of arrows. Many soldiers did not have it.
He was on guard and was killed by random arrows. Then countless strange birds flew out of the tomb passage and pecked at people they saw. Many soldiers were injured and blinded by the pecks. Then many monsters ran out and chased the soldiers, so scared that Xiang Yu did not dare to
If he acted rashly again, he withdrew from the tomb passage and burned the underground palace of the Qin Mausoleum, but only the three pits of figurines on the periphery were burned. Among them, a golden goose flew out of the tomb, and this magical flying goose kept flying south.
Go. Hundreds of years have passed. During the Three Kingdoms period, in the first year of Baoding, someone gave a golden goose to an official named Zhang Shan. He immediately judged from the words on the golden goose that the object came from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor...
There have been mysterious rumors about the tomb of the royal family since ancient times, but they cannot be taken seriously. However, the coffin of Qin Shihuang has not yet been opened, and the world has not been able to see the elegance of the first emperor of the ages. The main reason is that the technology is not enough, and it is afraid of damage after opening.
Already."
Zhang Heng frowned and actually asked: "The Lishan you mentioned is what I want to ask about."
"Orioles Mountain!" The old doctor was extremely surprised, but quickly added: "Taoism also calls Lishan Mountain Lishan Mountain. There is an old lady from Lishan Mountain who is a fairy in Taoism. In Journey to the West, the four major Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, except Ksitigarbha, are
, the other three Bodhisattvas: Guanyin, Samantabhadra and Manjusri once pretended to be the daughter of Mother Lishan. When Mother Lishan told Sun Wukong to ask Pilanpo Bodhisattva to subdue the centipede spirit, Sun Wukong was too shallow in Taoism and asked childishly.
"Did the Bodhisattva send you to help me?" The old mother said disdainfully: "She can control you, how can she call me?"
It can be seen that Lishan Old Mother is of high seniority and her magical power far exceeds that of Buddhist Bodhisattva. There is also a folk saying that Lishan Old Mother is Nuwa Empress, or she may be the incarnation or disciple of Nuwa!"
Having said this, the old doctor paused for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he asked doubtfully: "Wang, what do you mean by asking these questions?" His original intention was to ask if he planned to build a mausoleum, but the word mausoleum was not very straightforward.
Say it out loud.
Zhang Heng pondered for a moment. Who would have thought that he would say out loud: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. The story you just told is very interesting. When you go back, go to Wood Witch to receive a chariot reward." Spring Witch studied the text with great concentration.
.The Great Witch Flame has been released, and now the leader of the tribal wizards is the Wood Witch. Regarding the distribution of chariots, the Wood Witch has the right to take charge.
The old doctor was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, but the mystery became even more intense. The Sun King suddenly asked him about the tomb, and after hearing some stories, he actually rewarded him with a chariot. This was a preparation for twenty warriors.
There are only a hundred chariots in the tribe, and one story can be enough to hold up one. This is simply contrary to common sense, but who would dislike a good thing hurting themselves, so the old doctor stopped asking more questions.
"Okay, you go down, I want to be alone for a while and come out in half an hour!" Zhang Heng waved his hand.
The old doctor got the benefit and wisely withdrew.
After a while, Zhang Heng suddenly sighed: "Who can I be?"
"King, this is the carving field. There are tens of thousands of small objects in total, but there are only a dozen large objects." Barbarian Zhuo Ge introduced.
Zhang Heng looked at hundreds of exquisite objects such as tea trays, Buddhist beads, chopsticks, calligraphy, Buddha statues, gourds, walnuts, wooden cases, flowers, rulers, zodiac signs, bracelets, pendants, etc., and was quite satisfied. But in the end
What satisfied him were the dozen or so large objects, which were actually carved with animals and tigers. In addition, there was also the three-faced Buddha's pestle, which was more than ten meters high. Standing there, it gave people the impression of a heavenly Buddha's magical weapon.
To create the illusion, there is also a Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, whose body, waist and clothes are carved out of a whole piece of ebony, and whose face is all lifelike; there are also four pairs of main arms, one of which is placed clasped in front of the chest, and there are also
Twelve pairs of auxiliary arms were pieced together from ebony, for a total of sixteen pairs of arms. Although it is far from the real Thousand Arms, it fits the Buddhist picture of Guanyin. There is a crown on the top of the head, and on the crown is a halo of Buddha, burning like a flame.
The back body is also equipped with a super large ebony disc with a flame shape on the periphery. The entire structure is black with a hint of gold. It is mysterious and noble. At a glance, people can't help but kneel down, whether it is in awe of the Bodhisattva.
The value of ebony itself is impressive.
In Zhang Heng's opinion, the carvings of the beasts and tigers are very lifelike, but that's all. This is because he has killed both ferocious beasts, but it is different for Shen Fei and the others. Just looking at the carvings makes people feel...
Trembling, not daring to look directly, as if it would resurrect and devour the body at any time.
Zhang Heng looked at the other large sculpture for a while before he realized that it was actually Zhong Kui, the master of the door gods and the slayer of demons and demons. It was perfect to use this thing to control the house.
"Very good. We will carve some other animals later. Is the ebony material enough?" Zhang Heng asked, because the furniture in the other room is made of ebony. It is extremely luxurious and consumes a lot of ebony. This is for the ancestors.
Prepared for grandma's bedroom.
"That's enough, only a small part has been used so far!" Zhuoge responded.
Zhang Heng suddenly thought of a question, and quickly stepped forward to grab the waist of a Bi An, and took a sharp breath. Fortunately, he could carry it, but it was tragic for the entire Demon Subduing Pestle. He couldn't carry it with his strength.
, now it can only be left in space for primitive people to appreciate. There is no way to send it to reality.
Then he said: "In the future, there is no need to carve such too big objects. Not only does it take a lot of effort, but it is useless to carve them."
After the explanation, Zhang Heng pointed to the four-meter-long Bifan and asked, "How much do you think this thing is worth?"
"We have calculated that the raw materials used are around 2 million. This is based on the price comparison of golden ebony on the earth. Ordinary ebony is half cheaper. After adding in the carving skills and texture, the value is difficult to estimate. I suggest Wang, you can put a price of 10 million to test the waters first." The old doctor echoed.
When Zhang Heng heard this, he could only sigh, "It's black, it's really black." He smiled and said, "The tiger needs to be bigger, doesn't it have to be priced at 12 million? Can it be bought at such a high price?" His assets have never exceeded this level. Three million, and now it has shrunk a bit.
At this time, Shen Fei said: "Wang, in the clothing industry, we are afraid of matching clothes. In the collection industry, we value one-of-a-kind items. I suggest that only one or a set of each of these large objects be engraved. This will greatly increase the value."
Zhang Heng nodded appreciatively, "That makes some sense, so that's it. Large objects should not be carved repeatedly."
Kefeng looked at it and stood up immediately and said: "Wang, I really think there is a big item that can be repeated. And no matter how many items are repeated, it will sell very well."
"Oh, tell me what it is?" Zhang Heng became interested.
Ke Feng quickly replied: "Coffin. Ebony coffin, and ebony urn."
When Zhang Heng heard this, he was speechless but agreed: "Yes, although Yuan Datou only served as emperor for more than twenty days, he still put together an ebony coffin with great effort. Ebony is not difficult to find, but it is difficult to assemble it." Make a bigger coffin!"
He has seen how to make coffins. Metal cannot be used, and the wooden boards are all pieced together with concave and convex structures. Especially the upper bottom and lid cannot be made of large wood, otherwise they will be inferior.
"Okay, let's set up a coffin ordering business. What about the price? How to determine it?" Zhang Heng said cheerfully.
The old doctor answered: "Ebony is the royal material used by ancient emperors to make coffins. If an ebony dragon coffin is made, it will be a priceless treasure. The price of an ebony shrine is around 1.5 million." This shrine is also where the incense stand is placed. There is a huge gap between a motorcycle and a high-end car.
Shen Fei may have been robbed of the limelight, and continued: "Some time ago, a coffin shop in Chengdu made an ebony coffin with a price of 3.98 million, but the ebony used in it was less than 30%. Although the rest of the wood was made of golden nanmu , but compared with ebony, it is of a lower grade, weighing only one ton. If pure ebony is used, it would weigh about three tons, because ebony is difficult to carve finely, and the value is not simply tripled."
Zhang Heng pondered for a moment and asked: "In other words, the weight of the materials used in the coffin is about the same as that of the bian, so which one is more labor-intensive to make, the bian or the coffin?"
Zhuoge answered: "Bi'an is a bit more difficult!"
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "The coffin will be marked 10 million. If it doesn't sell, how about giving it to each of you, haha."
If it is said that coffins are usually unlucky, it will be different if it is replaced by the ebony coffin of the emperor in wood. In ancient times, only the emperor could use ebony coffins!
"Okay, just look at this. Shen Fei, you and Ke Feng are ready. I will send you out in a year or two. If you behave well, you can negotiate terms with me!" Zhang Heng suppressed his smile and said seriously.
The two of them hurriedly agreed, fearing that they had their own concerns. Naturally, this good performance meant making money.
Then Li Mu interrupted: "Wang, what about me?"
"What do you think you can do on earth?" Zhang Heng asked.
Li Mu was immediately speechless and didn't know how to answer.
"Haha, let's talk in two days. I'm a little tired. That's it for today!" Zhang Heng waved his hand, and then went to look at the smelting site and so on. Then he returned to reality, and Dazhu stayed in the space.
It happened that he felt comfortable sleeping alone, so he called Dazhu out at dawn. After breakfast, the family was about to return to the city, so he should take action!
