Face
Looking around the weird tomb, even the fat man who always didn't care about anything started to get scared. The fat man asked me: Lao Hu, where is this place?
I glanced at him and said: You ask me, I ask who is going. I remember clearly that we jumped down from the robbery hole in the middle of the ancient tomb Hades. It should be a not too high shaft, connected to the sloping shaft below.
Robbery Cave, why are you here?
The big gold tooth chewed the tooth flower and said: Is that still wrong? There is such a robbery hole on the ground of the Hades Palace. It is on the empty seat in the middle. Next to it should be the coffin of the tomb owner. We walked around the Hades Palace for three times.
Circle, apart from the robbery cave, there are no other passages on the ground. This is really hitting a wall.
I waved my hands to the two of them. There is no use being suspicious now, and this is by no means as simple as a ghost building a wall. A stone coffin from the Western Zhou Dynasty appeared in the underworld of the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that the tomb we are in now is also
Looking at the rock paintings on the tomb walls in the Western Zhou Dynasty, they were all faces with strange expressions. This narrow tomb chamber, or tomb passage, must have a certain connection with the human-faced stone coffin in the Hall of the Underworld.
After we entered the Underworld Hall of the Tang Dynasty Tomb, in order to save energy, we only turned on the big gold tooth one of the three flashlights. At this time, the big gold tooth handed the flashlight to me. I lit a candle on the spot and shook my hands.
Observe the nearby environment electrically.
We should be in a tomb passage, with ancient red rock paintings on both sides of the tomb passage. The strokes of those pictures are as red as blood and as bright as new. If this tomb passage is from the Western Zhou Dynasty, no matter how well preserved it is, it will not be possible.
To achieve this effect, these rock paintings are only a hundred or two hundred years old at most.
Not only the petroglyphs, but also the rocks that make up the tomb passage, show no signs of being chipped away over time. Although it does not look like it has just been completed, it definitely does not look like it was built thousands of years ago. There are still gray stone stubbles exposed in some places.
The tomb passage is about several meters wide, and extends straight at both ends with no end in sight. The tomb bricks are made of huge rocks, which are simple and dignified. They are not as luxurious and delicate as Tang tombs, but they still have a heavy and steady kingly aura.
Da Jinya knew that I was familiar with the layout of ancient tombs in the past, so he asked me about the details of this tomb passage.
I shook my head and said to Da Jinya: I'm not sure yet. If the stone coffin we found in the Hades Palace is indeed an ancient relic from the Western Zhou Dynasty as you said, then this tomb passage is also very likely to be related to
The stone coffin was matched with that of Jackie Chan. They are all from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Especially the patterns painted on the tomb wall are very similar to that of the stone coffin.
The fat man said: I bet it's the same thing. That big face can be remembered for a lifetime just by looking at it. That cold and weird expression that looks like a smile but not a smile is just cut out of the same mold.
I said to the fat man: Little fat, what you said makes sense, but you didn’t look carefully. The stone coffin we saw in the Hades Palace had five stone-carved human faces on it, all with the same expression. Take a closer look.
The expressions of the rock paintings in this tomb passage are not so single.
The petroglyphs on the tomb walls show slightly distorted human faces, not all of them like those on the stone coffins in the Temple of the Underworld. The five faces on the stone coffins are all expressionless, with a hint of grotesqueness in their indifference.
, and every face on the tomb wall is slightly different. Some are happy, worried, sad, angry, scared, and hurt, but no matter what expression they are, they are different from normal people.
The fat man used the light of the candle to look at several faces on the tomb wall, and said to Da Jinya and me: Old Hu, when I took a closer look, I thought there was something wrong with these faces. No matter what the expressions were.
, I knew something was wrong in my heart, but I couldn’t describe it. The expressions on these faces all showed so-and-so.
I also saw something strange about those faces. Seeing that the fat man couldn't hold it in, I said it for him: They were all so fake and insincere. Whether they were happy or angry, they all looked so damn fake, like they were just pretending.
of, rather than born from the heart.
When I said this, both Big Gold Tooth and the fat man agreed. The fat man said: Yes, it is fake. Old Hu, you still have a poisonous eye. In fact, I can see it too, but there are too many words in my stomach and I am stuck.
I didn't think of it for a moment.
Da Jinya said: It is indeed the case. There is evil in the smile and ridicule in the anger. Those of us who do business usually have to pretend to be sincere and heartfelt when negotiating with customers. I think our expressions at that time were...
It's fake enough, but compared with the human face painted on the tomb wall, it pales into insignificance. The fake look revealed in this expression is simply not something humans can do.
Da Jinya's last words made me feel a chill in my heart. Looking at the faces on the murals, I said to the fat man and Da Jinya: I feel the same way. I just can't think of anyone with such an expression.
Such a weird opera singer doesn’t have such a face. I think the situation we are facing now has something to do with these faces, but what do these faces symbolize?
Although I often claim to be an authentic gold-touching captain, I am only good at looking at Feng Shui, looking for dragon veins and finding treasure halls. Secondly, I have learned from the sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui secret technique, and I am very familiar with the tomb layout of past dynasties.
I am familiar with it, but when it comes to some cultural factors, historical background, and cultural relic identification, I have only a half-knowledge. Even if I have a half-knowledge, most of them are based on my own guesses without any foundation.
I know nothing about these giant-faced stone coffins and the many weird facial expressions on the tomb walls except for some intuitive feelings. In this regard, I am far inferior to Big Gold Tooth. Although
He is not a professional archaeologist, at least he has many years of experience in the antiques industry.
I said to Big Jinya and Fatty: Little Fatty, Mr. Jin, I think there are many strange things in this ancient tomb. There is no way for us to wander around like this. If we wander around like this, we might encounter some strange things.
situation, now we must think of some countermeasures.
The fat man asked: Lao Hu, do you have any ideas? If you have any ideas, just tell me quickly and don’t sell your official position. I won’t hide it from you. I’m really fucking scared now.
I know that the fat man is not a person who talks about fear easily. If he wants to say the word "fear", it is because we are facing a situation where there is no way to start. Although his life is not threatened, his nerves have been tortured to the point of collapse. So I told the fat man
Said: I haven't thought of any solution yet. The prerequisite for finding a countermeasure is that we first understand what is going on. Now it is like fighting on the battlefield. We are ambushed and we know the enemy.
Dark, we can only be beaten passively, with no room to fight back. Because we don’t know what kind of situation we are facing.
The fat man said helplessly: "Now the three of us are like three little mice in the hands of others. We are being manipulated so dizzy, but we still can't figure out what's going on. I will never enter without weapons and explosives next time."
It's an ancient tomb.
I smiled bitterly and said, "If we can have another time, let's talk about it next time." I asked Da Jinya again: "Master Jin, I think that although we are in a weird environment now, there is no life-threatening danger for the time being. As long as we sort out the
For clues, escaping is not a problem. After all, you have not spent so many years in vain. You can tell that the human-faced stone coffin is from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Can you explain it in detail? Let's analyze it and maybe we can come up with something.
Find a way.
At this time, Big Gold Tooth was not as nervous as Fatty. He was different from Fatty. Fatty was not afraid of wolves, worms, tigers, leopards, zongzi and zombies. He was only afraid of things that were not focused on. To put it simply, he was afraid of using his brain. Big Gold Tooth was most afraid of that.
This is a direct threat. Although many things from the Western Zhou Dynasty appeared out of thin air in the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty, they were just weird and not very fatal, or it could be said that they were not immediately fatal. Therefore, although Da Jinya also felt
Nervous and fearful, but I can cope with this mental pressure for the time being.
At this time, Da Jinya listened to my question, thought about it for a moment, and said to me: Mr. Hu, you also know that most of the things we mess around in Beijing are from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Yes, the value is much higher. They are all traded privately. We dare not resell them in the antique market. Ming ware from the Tang and Song dynasties is already top quality in our industry. ancestral items from before the Tang and Song dynasties
, it can basically be said to be a national treasure. You have to turn around when buying and selling. I have been in this business for so long, and the oldest ones I have only handled a few small items from the Tang Dynasty.
I saw Dajin Yajing saying something unnecessary, so I asked again: So you can’t be sure that the human-faced stone coffin is from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Da Jinya said: Of course I have never handled such an ancient artifact. Is this Western Zhou stone coffin valuable? It can be said to be priceless. The problem is that no one dares to buy it. If we sell it to foreigners, we will be collaborating with the enemy.
The crime of treason, so it is actually worthless to us. Although I have never messed with anything from the Western Zhou Dynasty, sometimes in order to gain knowledge and sharpness, I often read books on this subject and always visit museums to improve my knowledge.
To improve my professional skills, I am also a semi-expert on these antiquities. This stone coffin is from the Western Zhou Dynasty. I will not be mistaken about this. I can vouch for this. It is decorated with human faces.
It was very popular during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and many important ritual vessels would have carvings of human faces.
I wondered: Didn’t you just say that the human-faced stone coffin was from the Western Zhou Dynasty? If I remember correctly, the Yin Shang Dynasty should be before the Western Zhou Dynasty. Is this stone coffin from the Western Zhou Dynasty or the Yin Shang Dynasty?
Da Jinya said: My Lord, please listen to what I have to say. This kind of decoration flourished in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It was still used on some important occasions until the Three Kingdoms period. However, different times have different characteristics.
Different. The stone coffin we saw has a special feature. Do you know what it is? Book Alliance
