The weather in May was cool, and early the next morning, Zhuang Rui and the others left their room and arrived at their last destination in Xi'an: Lishan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lishan is a branch vein on the north side of the Qinling Mountains, stretches for more than 20 kilometers from east to west, the highest altitude is 1256 meters, the mountain is winding, the trees are verdant, and it looks like a pale horse in the distance, so it is called Lishan.

Since the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, it has been a tourist attraction here, and many villas have been built to leave the palace, attracting visitors of all generations, there are "Lishan Evening Photos" which is known as one of the "Eight Views of Guanzhong", the "Beacon Tower" of the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, the Bing Ji Pavilion that commemorates the Xi'an Incident, and the old mother hall that commemorates Nuwa Mending the Sky.

Of course, Lishan is most famous for the underground dormitory of the first emperor of the ages, which was originally divided into two floors, above ground and underground, and at the foot of Lishan, there is also a terracotta pit called the "eighth wonder of the world".

Although it has been famous for a long time, Zhuang Rui is also the first time to visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the rows of vivid, life-like terracotta figurines, so that Zhuang Rui's heart is shocked, especially the slightest aura flowing on the Terracotta Warriors, so that Zhuang Rui feels like he has entered a huge treasure.

Dr. Ren found an acquaintance in the museum and issued certificates for Zhuang Rui and others, so that several people could enter the pit and observe the handicrafts that represented the pinnacle more than 2,000 years ago.

Whether it is the terracotta warriors and horses or those intricate bronze instruments, every detail is the result of the painstaking efforts of ancient craftsmen, and there are almost no flaws at all.

In particular, the No. 2 copper carriage that caused a sensation in the whole world, its craftsmanship is complex, exquisite, and the excellence of the skill is all amazing, the car is exposed to the soft cushion of painted beauty, the surface of the copper plate is painted with a variety of bright geometric patterns, and the four corners and the middle of the lower part are supported by 8 copper nails with a height of 3 cm, and its function is tantamount to the modern "soft sleeper".

The copper carriage is composed of a total of 3,462 castings, including 1,742 copper castings, 737 gold castings, 983 silver castings, with a total weight of 1,241 kilograms.

These exquisite gold, silver, copper and iron castings, not to mention in the Qin Dynasty 2200 years ago, even in the developed science and technology, well-equipped today is not an easy task, just imagine that there was no lathe at that time, let alone modern smelting and casting equipment, can cast such exquisite gold, silver, copper size and different specifications of the carriage and horse parts, it is really a great initiative.

Due to the scarcity of the number, the general figurines that were not exhibited to the public, Zhuang Rui also got to see, this kind of Qin figurines unearthed a total of less than ten pieces, divided into two categories: the general figurines in battle robes and the armored general figurines, wearing a crane crown, tall and burly, outstanding temperament, and having the demeanor of a general. The warriors in battle robes are dressed plainly, but the chest is decorated with knots, while the chest, back and shoulders of the armored generals are decorated with a total of eight colorful knots, which are gorgeous and elegant, setting off their rank, status, and majesty in the army.

Zhuang Rui knew that perhaps these general figurines were fired from the prototypes of the generals of the Qin State who had been passed down through the ages, standing in the middle of the terracotta figurines that were about the same height as himself, Zhuang Rui put the Buddha in the midst of Meng Tian, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Wang Ben and others.

The heavy vicissitudes of history came to his face, Zhuang Rui felt that he was silent in the era of more than 2,000 years ago, and a concrete and tall terracotta warrior and horse around him seemed to come to life, telling the rise and fall of that era and the change of dynasties.

After more than two hours, Zhuang Rui and others came out of the terracotta pit, and everyone's heart seemed to be endowed with a heavy feeling by history, until they walked out of the museum and came to the Lishan Cemetery, the feeling that was suppressed in their hearts was lighter.

The original cemetery, in accordance with the principle of enjoying the glory and wealth after the death of Qin Shi Huang, imitated the layout of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, was built in the shape of a hollow character, the mausoleum was built around the inner and outer city walls, the circumference of the inner city wall of the cemetery was 3870 meters, the circumference of the outer city wall was 6210 meters, it was almost a city-state, but the gorgeous building on the ground had experienced more than 2,000 years of wind and rain, and had already been destroyed in the war and chaos.

The current Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was built after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has become a scenic tourist attraction, in order to let tourists feel the honor of the king and the majesty of the king, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor staged a large-scale "reproduction of the guard of honor - the changing of guard of the troops guarding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang" performance, Zhuang Rui and others have changed their clothes, and stepped forward to do a handful of the addiction of the emperor through the ages.

"There is no one before, and there can be no one to come......"

Standing at the foot of Lishan Mountain, looking at the mountains of love, Zhuang Rui sighed, and only in the special period of the feudal dynasty can it be possible to devote the strength of the whole country to serve the emperor, which also makes the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang known as the "eighth wonder of the world".

In fact, the whole corner of the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, are regarded as the mound of sealing the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the tall mound is surrounded by towering peaks and mountains and is integrated with Lishan, the scenery is beautiful, the sealing soil is only 100 meters high, the cemetery covers a total area of more than 50 square kilometers, imagining the huge sleeping palace below, Zhuang Rui can't help but be a little excited.

Dr. Ren, who was standing beside Zhuang Rui, saw Zhuang Rui's face flushed, and thought that his little junior brother wanted to put a few shovels here, so he hurriedly said: "Zhuang Rui, what do you want......?

If you want to conduct a scientific investigation in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, you must report it for approval several months in advance, and it must be approved by the leaders in charge of national science, education and culture.

"Brother Ren, no, let's go, let's go up and have a look......"

Zhuang Rui shook his head, he wanted to survey the situation underground, so why use such a stupid method as a shovel? Zhuang Rui only needed to find the location of the underground dormitory, and then he could show the colorful underground world in front of him.

After climbing the mound of sealed soil up to more than 70 meters, looking around, the surrounding terracotta warriors and horses pit put the Buddha guarding, surrounded the place where the sealed soil is located, these great Qin warriors in life, after death still guarding their emperor, it seems that the underground emperor of the eternal emperor raised his arms, these terracotta warriors and horses can come to life, continue to open up territory for it.

Zhuang Rui looked around, on the sealed mound, there were still many weathered ruins and city walls, he didn't want others to disturb his action of surveying the underground dormitory, so he said: "Senior brother, Peng Fei, let's go around, everyone can feel the feeling of standing on the head of Qin Shi Huang......"

In October 2006, the state united various departments to carry out the largest exploration operation in history on the location of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the survey mainly uses remote sensing and geophysical detection technology, and will not cause damage to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, especially the hyperspectral remote sensing archaeological technology, which is the second time in the world and the first time in China.

In fact, as early as March 1986, in the implementation of the 863 plan, the survey and positioning of the exact location of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been carried out, and after the unremitting efforts of many scientific experts for more than 20 years, the underground palace of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been confirmed as the underground where Zhuang Rui is standing at this moment.

Zhuang Rui walked to the top of the mountain alone, glanced at the sun, took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his face, and after seeing that no one disturbed him, he took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and the aura in his eyes gushed out, seeping into the ground along his feet.

At a distance of about 20 meters, Zhuang Rui can clearly see that the color of this sealed soil is different from ordinary soil, these sealed soils are made of multi-layer fine soil tamping, especially the palace wall connected to the underground, during construction, in order to detect whether the palace wall tamped with soil is hard, the construction personnel will stand in the distance and shoot the wall with a bow and arrow, if the arrow can be inserted into the wall, the repaired palace wall must be demolished and rebuilt.

Historically, the Guanzhong area has suffered a major earthquake of magnitude 8 or more, but the tomb of Qin Shi Huang has been intact, which shows the strict process and solidity at that time.

"Ten meters, twenty meters, forty meters, damn, this is equivalent to a ten-story building......"

The aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes was like a tentacle, and it continued to extend downward, but after exceeding twenty meters, he could only determine the existence and distribution of the objects below by the strength of the aura underneath.

"Hey, what is this?"

Forty meters in front, Zhuang Rui's sight has always been colorless darkness, but when the aura penetrates forty meters away, Zhuang Rui's eyes suddenly brightened, and the colors formed by various aura filled Zhuang Rui's eyes.

The colors condensed by various strong and weak spiritual qi filled every inch of space underground, which made Zhuang Rui unable to distinguish the shapes of these objects one by one, nor could he feel the so-called underground "sun, moon, mountains and rivers", because there, every place was a priceless treasure that condensed the efforts of his predecessors.

It was the first time Zhuang Rui had encountered such a situation, and in desperation, he could only expand the scope of the aura, and he wanted to accurately sense how big the underground palace, which had been closed for more than 2,000 years, was.

Forty meters deep underground, a tomb nearly 200 meters long from east to west, more than 150 meters wide from north to south, under the information fed back by the aura, the image appeared in Zhuang Rui's mind, the underground main body and the tomb are rectangular, the height is about 15 meters, equivalent to a standard football field.
