Qin Yu knew very well that the only explanation was that the Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum had changed after Jin Feiyan appeared. As for whether this change was good or bad, he could not yet judge.
Ten minutes later, Qin Yu finally completed the long stone steps, a total of 4,321 steps.
After walking down the steps, Qin Yu looked at his feet. On the ground not far away, there were several people lying on the ground, all dressed in black. Seeing these people, Qin Yu thought of what Emperor Ling had told him.
A small force secretly entered the entrance of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. It seems that these men in black must be members of a certain force.
Ignoring these people, Qin Yu continued to walk forward. At this moment, he was on a ramp. What could be clearly seen was that above this ramp, there were three raised stone gates, which were deeply sunken.
Only a foot of length is exposed in the wall above.
These are the three doors that those responsible for opening the tomb of Qin Shihuang spent decades of hard work. After these three doors, the ramp disappeared and turned into a tomb passage.
"The three doors are the first level. Only by opening these three doors can you enter the tomb passage through the ramp. Only then can you truly enter the entrance of the mausoleum." Qin Yu whispered, and everyone recognized that the tomb passage is the mausoleum.
the real entrance.
Generally speaking, a mausoleum can be roughly divided into five parts, the tomb passage, the corridor, then the outer corridor, the front room, and then the main room where the coffin is located.
According to historical records of Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum, the coffin in which Qin Shi Huang’s body was buried was buried in the “Xuan Palace”.
On the twenty-meter-long ramp, there were more than a dozen bodies lying on the ground, wearing tight-fitting clothes of different colors. Qin Yu squatted down and found a tomb robbing tool such as a Luoyang shovel from one of them. These people were
Several other groups of tomb robbers broke into the tomb.
Qin Yu believed that even Emperor Ling would not have thought that dozens of people had sneaked into the tomb in just a few days. The wealth was really impressive. These people were not even afraid of the country for the treasures in Qin Shihuang's tomb.
.
Of course, Qin Yu had no time to pay attention to these tomb robbers and went straight through the ramp and entered the tomb passage.
Compared with the ramp that is only over one meter long, this tomb passage is much wider, more than one foot wide, with very smooth bluestone slabs on both sides, and on this bluestone slab, there are some patterns engraved on it.
The wall patterns on both sides of the tomb passage can be seen in the tombs of many ancient emperors. Most of these patterns record the great achievements of the buried emperor. To put it bluntly, they are bragging about his previous contributions.
As the First Emperor of Qin, his greatest contribution in his life was to sweep across Liuhe and unify the world. Therefore, most of these patterns were war scenes. Qin Yu looked at the patterns on both sides as he walked. However, when Qin Yu was about to leave,
When we reached the end of the tomb passage, we were attracted by several patterns.
In fact, in the first dozen pictures, the picture is no longer a war scene. After all, Qin Shihuang also did other things after unifying the six countries.
Scenes of several eastward patrols and the construction of the Great Wall appeared one by one on the walls on both sides. As for Qin Yu, he stopped at the last few pictures because these pictures were very special.
This is the pattern of the twelve golden figures cast by Qin Shihuang.
The first picture shows countless weapons. These weapons are put into some carts, and then they are continuously thrown into a large pit that looks like lava.
Melting weapons to cast gold men is the first step.
Perhaps the sculptor wanted to highlight the large number of melted weapons. In this pattern, you can see countless soldiers pushing carts and waiting in line in front of the molten pit. The queue was very long. From the beginning, it was still
The expressions of the soldiers pushing the cart that can be seen are reduced to a few simple lines at the back. From far to near, from large to small, the ancient painters already knew what kind of painting method to use.
Describes far and near.
The second pattern was a pattern that shocked Qin Yu. The situation between this pattern and the first pattern could not be found. The only thing that changed was that what was thrown into the lava pit was no longer weapons, but people.
.
It was a group of soldiers lined up in a long line, wearing cold clothes and armor, holding spears, and with solemn expressions. They jumped into the lava pit one by one without fear.
This scene shocked Qin Yu, because these soldiers were not coerced. There was no one else beside them. These soldiers jumped into the lava pit voluntarily.
The armor of these soldiers was obviously different from the armor of the soldiers in the first picture, just like the difference between the regular army and the miscellaneous army. This reminded Qin Yu of an eternal mystery from the time of Qin Shihuang to the present.
That is the mystery of the whereabouts of the Qin army in the capital during the Qin Shi Huang period.
Among the unearthed terracotta warriors and horses, there are models of the army commanded by Qin Shihuang. The most daunting one is the Qin Army in the capital. This is an extremely elite army, and the princes are frightened when they hear about it.
But such an army disappeared after the death of Qin Shihuang. Even until the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty, when Xianyang City was captured, there was still no trace of this army. Where did the Qin Army in the capital go and why did it mysteriously disappear? This has been
It's an unsolved mystery.
What confused and shocked everyone the most was that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought in Gaixia, and Xiang Yu was killed. According to historical records, the five generals who killed Xiang Yu were exactly the five generals of the Qin Army in the capital.
Is it a coincidence? Countless historians and archaeologists want to know the truth, but the Qin army in the capital is like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving no trace and disappearing without a trace.
But now when he saw the second pattern, Qin Yu suddenly understood that he finally knew where the world-famous capital Qin Jun had gone. He was not going overseas to search for the secret elixir of immortality for Qin Shihuang as some experts speculated, but
They all jumped into the lava pit and became part of the Twelve Golden People.
Qin Yu was full of confidence in his guess, because among the Qin army at that time, only the imperial guards of the capital had such sophisticated armor and equipment. However, what puzzled Qin Yu was why these imperial guards had such sophisticated armor and equipment.
Are you willing to jump into the lava pit?
No matter how loyal a person is, they will be afraid of death, let alone an army. It is impossible for all soldiers to regard death as home.
"Oh, why didn't you think of this?"
Qin Yu suddenly slapped himself on the forehead. Just now, his mind had entered a dead end. Where is this place? This is Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. Who is carving these patterns? Naturally, it is the painter under Qin Shihuang. Even the original capital
The Imperial Guards were not so willing, and even showed resistance on their faces, but the painter did not dare to draw it.
Anyone who dares to speak ill of the emperor is praising his virtues. This is the same in any dynasty. Therefore, these patterns only provide some events at that time. The specific details should not be taken too seriously.
After thinking about this, Qin Yu looked at the third pattern.
In the third pattern, the lava pits are sealed. There are a total of twelve lava pits, occupying the hundreds of miles of open space outside Xianyang City Gate. Above these lava pits, there are countless chains. These chains
, straight into the depths of the earth.
In the fourth picture, the lava pit was smashed open, and countless people pulled the chains. As the chains were pulled, golden giants with a height of a hundred feet emerged from the lava pit.
This is what is recorded in the history books: he gathered all the soldiers from the world, gathered them in Xianyang, sold them and cast them into the twelve golden figures.
…
The patterns on both sides of the tomb passage ended here, and Qin Yu also stopped, because in front of him, another door appeared, this was a copper door. In the middle of both sides of the copper door, there were two inlaid inlays on each side.
Jade carvings pave the way.
Pushou is a traditional door decoration with exorcism significance during the Han Dynasty. In today's terms, it is a door knocker.
We know that door knockers are usually two copper rings or iron rings, used to knock on the door to remind people inside. The shop head is the base on which the door knocker is embedded. The shop head is inlaid on the door, and then the iron ring is hung.
Underneath the pavilion.
However, Qin Yu was a little confused when he saw these two pieces of jade carvings. You must know that there was no such thing as beauties during the Qin Dynasty. Beauves began to appear in the Han Dynasty. How could there be beauties in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum?
, and it’s also carved from jade?
During the Qin Dynasty, jade was not actually noble. It was only after the Han Dynasty that the status of jade was greatly improved. If you know about jade and antiques, you will know that when it comes to ancient jade, the most valuable is actually Han jade.
.
The two pieces of jade carvings in front of us are carved with blue dragons, white tigers, red birds, and black basalts according to their directions. They are lifelike and the carvings are so fine that they are not inferior to the jade carvings of the Han Dynasty.
However, the only incomplete part of these two jade carvings is that they are missing the two door knockers hanging below.
Qin Yu squinted at the two pieces of jade carvings. In the information given to him by Emperor Ling, he mentioned that the bronze door was the fourth mechanism of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, and the key to opening the mausoleum was to find the
Two door knockers.
Qin Yu tried to put his hand on the bronze door, but the next moment, Qin Yu's hand seemed to be burned. He quickly left the bronze door, opened his lips, and put another pill into his mouth.
.
After holding the pill in his mouth, Qin Yu's expression became ugly. He finally knew where the curse came from. This curse was behind the copper door.
The moment his hands touched the copper door, a terrifying resentment poured into his arms along the copper door, and then quickly headed towards his brain. If he hadn't retreated quickly when he saw the opportunity, he might have fainted here.
.
Moreover, just for a moment, the pill he had in his mouth melted away in an instant. (To be continued)
