Suddenly he said: "In Handan, in Yongnian Smart Mountain, under a persimmon tree halfway up the mountain."
As he spoke, he raised his head and walked toward the mud coffin with a flashlight.
I followed quickly.
The surface of the mud coffin is not ordinary yellow mud, it may be mixed with other mixtures, and the overall color is yellow with white in it.
Although it is cracked like this, it is still basically intact, and it just sits there quietly for two thousand years.
Suddenly I had a feeling in my heart, the mystery of Guizailing in Daoxian County, the tens of thousands of Guizai stone sculptures that have survived to this day, are they guarding this clay coffin?
The clay coffin is very large, and there are two pottery figurines lying upside down on the ground. Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they belong to a man and a woman, but they are very small.
There is a layer of white left on the face of the male pottery figurine, and the lips must have been painted with red paint before. It must be that the color of the red paint on the pottery figurine's lips has become much lighter due to the age.
I picked up the fallen clay figurine and looked at it. It was probably from the late Warring States Period.
I have seen many such pottery figurines, and I have come up with a trick when looking at these types of burial figurines. The earlier the pottery figurines are, the shorter they are, the wider the sleeves of their clothes are, and the shoes they wear on their feet.
The later the pottery figurines are, the more slender they are.
(Except for the Tang Dynasty, the pottery figurines with fat faces are basically from the Tang Dynasty).
By the Song Dynasty, the height of these burial figurines was higher than an adult's knees, while the height of these two clay coffins was only about 20 centimeters, indicating that they were much earlier than the Song Dynasty.
I didn't use much force, so I picked it up and moved it. The head of the clay figurine fell off and fell to the ground with a bang.
Throwing it aside casually, I frowned and asked: "Botou, you just said that you have seen this kind of mud coffin before?"
He knitted his head and brows.
He didn't say anything, but asked Xiaoxuan to bring her knife.
I deliberately selected an area with serious cracks, took Xiaoxuan's knife with my head and began to scrape the area hard.
Layers of dried yellow mud fell down.
A small hole soon appeared under the cracked soil.
Putting down the knife, he raised his flashlight and looked into the small hole.
"That's right, that's it...Yunfeng, take a look." After saying this, he moved his head and moved away.
I looked in through the small hole.
Here...it seems to be red wood.
Wooden coffin from the Warring States Period?
I was shocked when I saw this red color. The humidity under the cave is so high that the wooden coffin has not rotted after thousands of years. This is very abnormal. The only reasonable explanation is that the seal of the seven anti-theft diamond doors, plus this layer of yellow mud
, isolate the air to the greatest extent, so that it can stay.
At this time, Ah Chun raised his head and said, "Wang Boss, the coffin is in the hole in the wall. How do we get up there?"
He said, "Look at this first, and I'll look at that later."
At the signal from the boss, Dou Sprout and I started smashing the mud with shovels.
Even though it is so dry and cracked, some places are still very strong. It took a lot of effort to completely break down the yellow mud.
The clods of earth fell down piece by piece, and the wooden coffin hidden inside was exposed in an increasingly larger area.
After stopping, use a flashlight to take a look.
This is a bright red, solid wood coffin that is very thick overall. The surface of the red coffin is painted with light gold. At a glance, the appearance is somewhat similar to the coffin unearthed from the Mawangdui Tomb. It has a bit of Chu lacquerware from the Warring States Period.
