0712 Yellow intestine problem
After everyone exited the passage, Tang Ding and Qin Yujie put on gas masks, and Tang Ding opened the stone door.
Despite wearing a gas mask, Don Ding could still feel a musty smell coming to his face.
After opening the stone door, Tang Ding used a flashlight to shine inside, and found that it was not all artificially excavated, of course, there were traces of artificial excavation, but most of them should be naturally formed.
That's the truth.
If you really want to dig a mountain, then the amount of work is too large.
However, on the basis of a cave, if it is repaired, the amount of work is much smaller. However, the amount of work on this mountain is indeed much smaller, but on the mountain, it is piled up with five-colored rammed earth, and quicksand is used to prevent theft, and this amount of work is unimaginably large.
This is equivalent to burying the entire mountain under 100 meters, how much manpower and material resources are needed?
However, these things, Tang Ding's mind was just a flash, and Qin Yujie grabbed his arm, "There are a lot of people over there, is it Tao Yong?"
Tang Ding looked at the light shining from Qin Yujie's flashlight, and there were indeed a lot of pottery Yong over there.
Most of these pottery are in a kneeling posture and have different shapes. And some of the pottery Yong's heads fell to the ground, probably because the time was too long, and the bond was not strong.
Since there is a pottery yong here, Tang Ding and Qin Yujie naturally walked this way, wanting to see the form of this pottery yong up close.
However, when Tang Ding took a closer look, he was taken aback. These people are not Tao Yong, but some real people who died on their knees.
From a distance, it looked like his head had fallen to the ground, but he was actually a person who had been beheaded.
All of them are in a kneeling position. Even if there are those who fall to the ground, they are on their knees.
Tang Ding looked closely, and these people were not kneeling on their own, but their ankles were tied, then ropes were tied around their thighs, and finally their hands were tied behind their backs. So these people don't want to kneel, they have to kneel, because their legs can't be stretched at all.
The reason why Tang Ding and Qin Yujie mistook these people for Tao Yong at the beginning was because of the influence of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang built a thousand troops and horses for his own mausoleum, and this mausoleum is the tomb of the pre-Qin king, so it is natural to think that what you see is Tao Yong.
In addition, this group of pottery Yong has been dead for too long, and a layer of dust has fallen on their bodies. It's even more difficult to tell.
However, Tang Ding knows a lot about the history of the pre-Qin, the burial system of the pre-Qin is a continuation of the Shang and Zhou burial systems, and the Shang and Zhou dynasties were slave societies, and slave societies used slaves for burial, which is almost an example.
The pre-Qin and Spring and Autumn states were all subject states of Zhou, so it was normal to continue the burial system of Zhou.
Later, in the Warring States Period, due to the continuous conquest of these subject countries, the loss of soldiers, and the decline of national strength, the monarchs of all countries realized that the people were the foundation of the country, so at the end of the Warring States Period, all countries generally began to pay attention to the accumulation of people's power, and did not use the living to bury, but changed to pottery, which is the origin of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang.
However, the use of living people for burial, which was also widely prevalent in various countries during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Moreover, this kind of kneeling burial method is also recorded in history.
Kneeling and martyrdom, to put it bluntly, is still the slave owner's original ideology, and the slave owner usually enjoys the kneeling service of the slaves, so they hope that after their death, they will still be kneeling slaves to serve themselves, and they hope to pass on the glory of this life after their death.
Qin Yujie also saw these kneeling martyrs at this time, not Tao Yong, but living people, she covered her mouth and shouted in surprise.
However, because she was wearing a gas mask, it was not her mouth that was covered, but a gas mask.
The scale of this row of kneeling martyrs is really not small, at least three or four hundred people.
Three or four hundred people, all in a kneeling posture, giving people a very shocking vision.
But if it's Tao Yong, it's really shocking, but if it's a living person, I'm afraid it's more than just shocking.
And there are many people who have been beheaded, and some of them are obviously blind to death, and even if they are beheaded, their eyes are still open.
When Qin Yujie saw this scene, her legs were weak with fright, and she could only walk with Tang Ding's support.
Tang Ding and Qin Yujie didn't waste too much time here in this kneeling crowd, because Tang Ding still had the task given by Professor Zuo, looking for the bamboo slips recorded in writing and spraying the protective liquid.
A tomb, for tomb robbers, they pay the most attention to the various porcelain, pottery, bronze, and all kinds of gold and silver ware.
But for scholars, what they value most is everything that has words in it, bamboo slips, bronze ware with inscriptions, pottery, and so on. These things help to help them solve a lot of historical mysteries.
Therefore, when opening an ancient tomb, Zuo Qingming cares most about things with words.
For the history of the pre-Qin period, in addition to the fact that everyone knows more about Qin Shi Huang, who unified the six countries, there are too few things to know about the Qin State before Qin Shi Huang.
Before Qin Shi Huang, the Qin State went through more than 600 years and had 31 monarchs, but apart from Qin Shi Huang, how much did the world know about the more than 30 generations of monarchs of the Qin State?
Therefore, Zuo Qingming's anxious mood to preserve the written materials is very urgent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put his disciples in danger.
This natural stone cave is large enough, and although three or four hundred people were killed on their knees, it still does not look crowded.
The three or four hundred kneeling martyrs were lined up on both sides, and there was an aisle in the middle, leading straight inward.
There are some funerary goods here, but there are not many, and the most famous of them are the two huge square tripods.
Ding, in that period, was known as the important weapon of the country, and it was an important ritual vessel for worshipping and worshipping the heavens and ancestors.
However, Tang Ding didn't have time to care about this Fang Ding, he had to quickly find the bamboo slips with words that needed to be protected.
In addition, there is no coffin here, and the important funerary goods must have been placed together with the owner's coffin.
Along the passage of this kneeling martyr, entering it, about a hundred and ten meters away, this is another small hole, but after Tang Ding and Qin Yujie entered, they found that there was a hole in this small hole.
Originally, Tang Ding thought that what he had entered was a small hole, at least much smaller than the hall where three or four hundred people had fallen on their knees, but after Tang Ding and Qin Yujie entered, they found that it was a huge hall, and it was even bigger.
However, Tang Ding's eyes were not on this hall, but on the furnishings in the hall.
The most important feature of this hall is a tall, square wooden house.
This wooden house is an earthy yellow color as a whole, and it is so big that Tang Ding can't imagine it.
This wooden house is at least thirty or forty meters long and more than twenty meters wide, almost ten meters high, which is almost equivalent to the height of a three- or four-story building.
Around this wooden house, there are nearly a thousand small boxes. These small boxes are basically the same model, and they are indeed not big, which is not big compared to this wooden house, but they are not small, and these wooden boxes are a little smaller than normal coffins.
"This, this, Huang, Huang intestine question?" Qin Yujie didn't know whether she was surprised or scared, her voice trembled to the extreme.
Tang Ding and Qin Yujie stood at the entrance of the big and small halls, he also saw the yellow intestine question first, and also saw the small boxes all over the hall, but Tang Ding's focus was not on the yellow intestine question.
Tang Ding's focus was on the gloomy aura of these nearly a thousand small boxes, which happened to revolve around this yellow intestine.
The reason why Qin Yujie's teeth chattered and she couldn't speak, Tang Ding knew that she was by no means surprised, nor was she afraid, and even Tang Ding felt that Qin Yujie still had a faint excitement, but Qin Yujie's trembling voice was because of the invasion of evil qi.
However, this evil qi did not take the initiative to invade Qin Yujie, but revolved and wound around this yellow intestine question.
Tang Ding understood that this was a huge formation, a formation condensed with the evil qi of a dead man.
Those boxes that are slightly smaller than normal coffins should also be coffins, although Tang Ding did not open the box to check, but Tang Ding could feel the dead and evil air emitted from this box.
But Qin Yujie's eyes were shocked by the yellow intestine question in front of him.
Although it is not the first time that a yellow intestine question has been excavated in China, it is definitely the first one of its kind!
This yellow intestine problem is indeed very rare, and it can even be said to be rare.
The so-called yellow intestine is the color, and the intestine is the core, that is, the core of cypress.
The core of cypress wood is yellow, so it is called yellow intestine.
The question is the head, and the question is to get together.
The yellow intestine is to put the yellow cypress heart together, and there will be a piece of wood core at the front end.
However, the yellow intestine inscription is the tomb regulation of Zhou Tianzi, and the yellow intestine inscription of archaeological excavations was also found in the tomb of Zhou Tianzi, and it has not been found in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
So this time in the tomb of the Qin State found the yellow intestine inscription, Qin State was a subordinate state of Zhou at that time, does that mean that the Qin State was strong enough to fight with Zhou? Or did the Qin State have contempt for Zhou's authority at that time and had the intention of replacing it?
If Professor Zuo saw the yellow intestine inscription in this Qin tomb, he would definitely think so.
But that's not what Tang Ding is concerned about.
This yellow intestine is a big coffin, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a big coffin, and good things must be placed in this big coffin. Including textual books, it is possible that they are in this big coffin.
This kind of yellow intestine question, to put it bluntly, is actually imitating the master's living environment at that time and building a palace for him after death. All kinds of funerals, all kinds of treasures, are in this yellow intestine puzzle.
However, if you want to enter this yellow intestine problem, you must first break through the evil qi in front of you.
Tang Ding's current biggest concern is how to crack the evil qi array formed by thousands of coffins around the yellow intestine problem?
Breaking in directly, of course, is not possible, and even stepping into this thousand coffins array, the evil qi will hit like a tide.
Not to mention saving Qin Yujie, it is a question of whether Tang Ding can protect himself.
With the purple gold gourd, there are too many evil qi in this thousand coffin array, and I am afraid that the purple gold gourd will not be able to do it.
