The twelve birthday figurines that Bai Yi saw were in the shape of human figures, with twelve children each holding in their hands, standing on their shoulders, or holding twelve birthdays on their heads.
In their respective directions, each of the twelve directions occupies one side. The color of the figurines has faded, but it can be seen that the colors are bright and the shapes are very realistic.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the Heavenly King figurines and tomb-suppressing beasts that were commonly used in burials became more and more simplified, and were no longer used in some tombs. Only the Twelve Hours figurines survived and became the most common figurines in the late Tang Dynasty.
In addition to these figurines, there is a half-kneeling corpse on the ground, with his head hanging down. He is facing the horse figurines, as if he is repenting for the figurines. The clothes he is wearing are just
The people in that tomb were roughly the same,
It seemed that they all came in together. Bai Yi went in after some testing as usual, and came to the side of the dead body, but did not dare to get too close. He even waved his hand to prevent others from approaching the body: "Alone facing the horse."
It’s a figurine, isn’t this too obvious?”
Bai Yi bent down to look at the front of the dead body. There was a small arrow on his chest, which was pierced deeply. The horse figurine was also the only one separated from the human figure among the twelve birthdays. The man and the horse stood side by side, without any
Any intersection, unlike other figurines, human and animal figurines are
Connected, Bai Yi saw that the height of the dead body was only 1.65 meters, which was similar to Xiao Ning, so he called Xiao Ning over, gestured the position of the small arrow, and pointed it in the direction, roughly knowing where the small arrow was.
Where did it come from? It was the horse's mouth!
As for how to open the mechanism in the horse's mouth, Bai Yi subconsciously looked at the green bricks under his feet. At this moment, Xiao Shan said: "Why is there no coffin?"
Only then did Bai Yi realize what was most wrong. The twelve birthday figurines each occupied one side and were standing around the tomb. Apart from these figurines, there was nothing else. So where was Jiang's state of mind that the man mentioned? Why is there no coffin here?
?
Tang Sancheng said: "The twelve birthdays are placed according to the twenty-four branches, and the positions are very particular. This shows that the person who placed these twelve birthday figurines is a person who knows arithmetic. In fact, the agency is better than us.
Except for the juice of the king lotus flower, everything else I encountered before was nothing, it was considered elementary."
"Yes." Lei Zi said: "To build such a tomb, there is no coffin, and only these twelve birthday figurines are buried with it. It is too shabby. Damn, I have been looking forward to it in vain."
"How could it be possible? There is still Jiang Xinjing. The man found Jiang Xinjing but didn't take it out. There must be some reason." Xiao Ning said: "It's not like your style to give up so quickly."
"I like to hear this." Lei Zi grinned: "You often praise me like this."
Xiao Ning twisted around and gave Lei Zi a roll of his eyes: "I'm not complimenting you."
"What Xiao Ning said makes sense. How can any counter-attacker find an obvious weapon and not think of a way to take it away? Unless he has no ability to take it away, he has to give up." Bai Yi said: "Jiang Xinjing must be there, we have to find it.
come out."
Tang Sancheng suddenly stomped the bluestone bricks under his feet. This action made Lei Zi's face turn pale. He quickly held him down and said, "My ancestor, you don't know that the bricks here may be organs. Don't step on them randomly."
Ah, I think we should be buried with these twelve birthday figurines!"
"No." Tang Sancheng was really at a loss for words: "I'm just wondering if Jiang Xinjing is not under his nose, but in a hidden place. If so, there should be a mystery under the bluestone bricks, and there must be space to store it.
Jiang Xinjing, there must be a hole in the ground, and the sound of stepping on it must be different."
This is the truth, but Tang Sancheng's actions are still too dangerous. After all, every bluestone brick may activate the mechanism. Even Xiao Ning also blamed Tang Sancheng for his reckless actions, but Xiaoshan said: "Brother is right.
Makes sense.”
Xiaoshan is still reliable. Tang Sancheng was about to burst into tears. Tang Sancheng found his own words and said: "Actually, these twelve birthday figurines were originally supposed to protect the owner of this tomb, but it is a pity that there is no owner..." As he said,
Looking at these twelve birthday figurines, a flash of lightning seemed to flash across his mind. His hand raised up and then stopped in mid-air. He seemed to have discovered something, but he couldn't organize it in words. Everyone looked at him like this
He looked like he didn't dare to say a word, but just stared at his hand, as if the result would come out as soon as Tang Sancheng put his hand down.
This was also the case. Tang Sancheng finally let go of his hand. He said "oh" first, but this "oh" didn't matter, which made Lei Zi impatient: "Stop being pretentious, everyone is waiting."
"Look at the eyes of the twelve birthday figurines. Don't worry about them. Just look at the twelve birthdays. Where are their eyes?" Tang Sancheng kept patting Qixie's back, making a loud banging sound, which made Qixie frown.
He didn't even frown and allowed Tang Sancheng to get excited.
The 12th birthday figurines are very detailed and lifelike. However, people did not look carefully at the eyes of these figurines before. Only now do they realize that the eyes of these 12th birthdays are vivid. The eyeballs seem to be alive. Follow them.
Looking over, their eyes were gathered in the same place, pointing to the middle part of the tomb!
Bai Yi suddenly realized that the twelve birthday figurines were like the guardians of Jiang Xinjing. They were always staring at it and guarding it. So Jiang Xinjing was in the center of the tomb chamber, and the general range was locked. But how to find it?
How about getting it out?
Tang Sancheng's body suddenly trembled. The middle part of the tomb was made of broken bluestone bricks. It was hard to tell at first, but after seeing it many times, Tang Sancheng always felt that the middle part looked very familiar.
, he thought desperately in his mind, and finally realized it: "Look, does the shape formed by the broken bricks in the middle look like a reverse Bagua diagram?"
After Tang Sancheng reminded them, everyone really thought that it was true. The broken bricks spelled out the shape of the Eight Diagrams, but they were the Eight Diagrams in reverse. Tang Sancheng said: "Is this a mechanism? People who learn Taoism will not use the Eight Diagrams
The shape of the diagram is wrong. How could a person who can arrange the twelve birthdays according to the twenty-four stems and branches make the Bagua diagram upside down? Bai Yi..."
Bai Yi nodded: "I understand, I'll go."
Bai Yi walked towards the middle place, and Tang Sancheng's ears perked up. Listening to the movements of Bai Yi's feet, he would warn Bai Yi if there was anything wrong. Fortunately, Bai Yi walked to the middle place smoothly.
He took a deep breath, carefully touched the gravel, and then turned back: "It can be moved."
Tang Sancheng became excited: "I'll do it."
Tang Sancheng walked over and moved the fragments one by one until they were restored to the correct Bagua Diagram. The moment the Bagua Diagram was restored, something was moving upward underground. Tang Sancheng took two steps back and saw a stone platform rising in the middle.
Coming out, there is also a Bagua-shaped stone platform. On the stone platform, there is a bronze mirror!
Everyone else cheered, Jiang Xinjing, this is undoubtedly Jiang Xinjing, it still looks like new, the dragon on the mirror seems to be alive, the dragon's tail seems to be trembling slightly, and the pair of dragon eyes are very sharp. For a moment, Tang Sancheng and
The dragon eyes looked at each other and felt that they were tightly stared at by each other.
Looking at it, his heart trembled, and he immediately looked away, not daring to look into those dragon eyes again! The whole dragon body jumped up, and it looked like it was about to fly into the sky at any time. Real dragon, real dragon, this mirror
The dragon looks like a real one. No wonder Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who claimed to be the real dragon emperor, loved it so much!
