Lei Zi lit the lighter with a bang. He did not walk over, but kept a distance of two meters. He suddenly threw the lighter in his hand and quickly turned around and flew out to avoid the blast of the explosion.
It was a very smart move, and there was a loud "bang" sound. Everyone fell to the ground, covering their heads and ears with their hands.
Tang Sancheng felt that there were countless forces pulling on him, and there was a roaring sound beside his ears. A heat wave passed over his head. He didn't know how long it took before the burning feeling slowly disappeared. He raised his head,
I saw the bronze tree tilted to one side, revealing a hole underneath. It was only a very small space, and it was so dark inside that it was hard to see clearly.
Lei Zi carefully collected the remaining gunpowder in the grenade, then walked to the bronze tree, pushed it with his hand, and the bronze tree shook: "Now we can push it away together, come on!
"
The bronze tree was slowly pushed to reveal the hole, and a flashlight was used to illuminate it. As expected, there was a sarcophagus inside. Wu Tong was overjoyed: "I'll go down and take a look first."
At this time, he had forgotten the unpleasantness of being invaded by a female corpse. The entrance to the cave was only for one person, and someone always had to go down first. Bai Yi nodded, and they watched Wu Tong's feet fall down first, and then his whole body jumped.
When he got down, he saw Wu Tong landing steadily and knew that it was not high. After Wu Tong got down, he saw
There was a brazier on the wall, and I lit the brazier. The space below was very simple. Except for the brazier on the stone wall, it was the sarcophagus in front of me. There was no coffin bed, and the sarcophagus was placed directly on the ground, which looked a bit desolate. Wu Tong confirmed that there was no
Others waved their hands to the top: "It's okay, everyone, come down!!"
Others jumped down one after another. Xiao Ning jumped down neatly without any hesitation. When he saw the sarcophagus, he couldn't wait to open it. Bai Yi shook his head and tested it with the poisonous water given by Fu Yu as usual.
Seeing nothing strange, he hit it with a stone again to confirm that there were no other mechanisms, and then he and Qixie lifted the coffin lid...
The lid of the coffin was lifted, and everyone looked inside and were dumbfounded: It was empty! Except for some burial utensils, they were all empty. Among the utensils, there were a pair of human-shaped pottery figurines, a wooden box, and some ancient utensils.
Coins are scattered everywhere inside the sarcophagus, and the most special one is a mirror.
"What's wrong, where is the man's body?" Lei Zi gritted his teeth and said, "This is a tomb monster. When I came in, I thought that the man and the woman had become gods. What kind of gossip did they do? In the end, the woman was divided into corpses.
, as for the man, he buried himself here, even the bones are gone."
"Don't worry about it, just have these." Wu Tong argued with Lei Zi without realizing it. He picked up the coins scattered in the sarcophagus one by one. These small copper coins are round on the outside and square on the inside, symbolizing the universe of heaven and earth.
.The word "五铢" is cast in seal characters below. Most ancient Chinese coins are round on the outside and square on the inside. It started with the five-baht coin. While Wu Tong was picking it up, he was still counting in his mind. There are a total of them here.
Forty-nine five-baht coins.
Instead, Xiao Ning was attracted by the pair of human-shaped pottery figurines. The use of the figurines was to enable the deceased to continue to live as he was alive in the afterlife, so there would be a large number of figurines buried with him.
As early as the Neolithic Age, people began to put human bodies and animals kneaded from clay into furnaces and bake them together with pottery. During the Warring States Period, the sacrificial system declined, and pottery figurines replaced sacrificial victims. Terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, Shandong
The images of the Tao Yue and Dance acrobatic figurines, the Sichuan Tao Yue Yue figurines, and the Henan Tao Yue figurines are real and lifelike.
The art of pottery figurines reached a new peak during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The figurines of civil servants, warriors, ladies, leading camels, horses, teasing, and riding horses became common types in this era, especially the colorful and majestic three figures.
Colored figurines can be called the masterpiece of Chinese pottery figurines. The style of pottery figurines changed greatly during the Five Dynasties, and the figurines of gods and monsters that guard tombs received more attention.
This custom of burying pottery figurines slowly declined after the Song Dynasty. Because burning paper money became popular in funerals, the use of pottery figurines dropped sharply and disappeared completely by the early Qing Dynasty. However, this custom left a large number of
of pottery figurines.
What Xiao Ning is holding in front of her is a human-shaped pottery figurine. As the name suggests, it is a pottery made in the shape of a human being. Xiao Ning tilted his head and looked at it: "Aren't these pottery figurines just the man and woman on the mural?"
?”
Others poked their heads over to take a look. Although the shape of this pair of pottery figurines was extremely simple, the overall shape was smooth and the facial expressions were exquisite. Especially the woman's pottery figurine, Xiao Ning was very familiar with it. That was the woman on the mural, that one.
The owner of the human head: "That's strange. Does it mean that the corpses were replaced by pottery figurines? I've only heard of tombs with tombs, but not of tombs with pottery figurines."
"It doesn't matter what it is, just use a visible weapon to dodge them." Wu Tong was really fed up with this place. He picked up the mirror and said, "There is no gold or silver jewelry at all. How can this tomb owner build such a neat thing?"
The burial chamber is too shabby, and the mirror is only made of bronze."
Wu Tong held the mirror and shook it wildly, looking disdainful. The mirror was facing the brazier on the wall, and suddenly it reflected a ray of light. The light came so fast that Wu Tong was frightened and took several steps back.
: "My dear, what is this!!"
Bai Yi has been running an antique shop for so many years, and it was not in vain. He took the mirror and pointed it at the light. A beam of light came from this inconspicuous bronze mirror and shone on the not-so-bright part of the wall. Two figures immediately appeared on the wall.
Xingzi - See the light of the sun and the world will be bright!
These two lines of words were exactly the inscription on the back of this bronze mirror. Tang Sancheng sighed: "It's incredible!"
"This is a light-transmitting mirror. It has been made since the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. In fact, it is nothing special. This is caused by the many tiny uneven curvature differences on the mirror surface. The mirror surface is slightly concave where the pictures and texts are, but not the pictures and texts.
The mirror surface is slightly convex. The light in the concave areas converges, while the light in the convex areas diverges. Bright parts and dark parts corresponding to the pictures and texts on the back of the mirror appear in the image, thus forming pictures and texts on the back of the mirror on the wall. This process was invented in the Western Han Dynasty.
Come on, the ancients were really amazing."
Bai Yi suddenly felt that now was not the time to talk about this. He put away the light-transmitting mirror and looked at the inner wall of the sarcophagus. He shined the flashlight in and wanted to see clearly. He saw three words carved on the stone wall - I'm leaving!!
"Should I leave?!" Bai Yi was stunned: "Could it be that the male tomb owner stayed behind?"
Lei Zi saw those three words clearly and was a little surprised: "There are traces of flying everywhere here, but the male tomb owner really ascended and didn't even leave his physical body behind, right? Are there really gods in the world?"
Tang Sancheng frowned. The ascension mentioned by Taoists did mean that the physical body would disappear instantly, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. He had only heard from his master about the scenes of ancient people ascending. It was difficult for him to judge whether it was true or false.
However, Tang Sancheng had a vague feeling that this matter might not be that simple.
