Chapter 90: The Three-Tiered Coffin
"What a beautiful armor!" said the Spirit, shining his flashlight on the armor in the middle of the chamber, wide-eyed. When it comes to seeing things, beauty accounts for a large part of girls.
Li Zimu nodded and rarely agreed with what Chi Ling said, although it was covered with a layer of ash, but it was still difficult to cover its original appearance, if you want to say domineering, this armor also has it, but it is more exquisite.
Armor, a protective equipment worn by ancient soldiers. Armor, still armor. Firm words also, or Wei Zhijia. The mainstream of the pre-Qin period was made of leather, called armor, and in the late Warring States period, there was a product made of iron, called armor, but the leather was still called armor, until the Tang and Song dynasties, it was not so clearly distinguished, regardless of the unity of leather and iron, it was called armor.
The air in the tomb is relatively dry, so this iron armor still has no traces of rust more than 2,000 years ago, and Li Zimu gently wiped off the dust on it with his gloved hands.
This armor is silvery-white, different from the armor of other generals, this armor is not a piece except for the movable joints, but is made of very small pieces of iron armor, connected by ring-sized iron rings and a small part of the armor belt, which looks very exquisite.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that from the neck to a little below the chest, the order of these iron armor pieces is from top to bottom, and the upper nail pieces are pressed against the lower nail pieces in order, while the nail pieces from the abdomen down are just the opposite, and the lower pieces are pressed against the upper pieces.
The iron armor of the chest and abdomen is stacked in the middle of the midline, and other joints such as the shoulders are also stacked in this way. This stacking method is not only beautiful, but also practical, and there is no bulky feeling after putting it on, and it is more comfortable to move.
The whole armor is decorated with some beautiful patterns, the belt is made of leather, and there is a life-carved golden dragon head in the middle, and the helmet placed on the side also has a dragon head, and the back of the helmet is as silver-white as the armor, which looks more like a work of art.
"If this thing is to be taken outside, it can be sold for a lot of money, right?" Chi Ling asked curiously, not to mention its age, even if it is this workmanship and beauty, someone can be willing to pay a high price, and if it is matched with its identity as the armor of the general of the Chu State, the price will have to be doubled several times.
"If you take it out into small pieces, it's not worth much, and if you take it out in one piece, someone will grab your head if you take it out in three hundred," Zhang Jingyang licked his dry lips and looked at the armor stupidly.
This thing is definitely more valuable than a first-class cultural relic, because the armor is very rare, especially the armor of the soldiers, and the armor of the Qin Dynasty, its value is not ordinarily high, his family is in the antique business, and he knows much more about this line than others.
"These two are good things, take them on as a souvenir when you go out for a while" Li Zimu chuckled and said, he also has a pair of armor, in terms of age, it may not be as old, but the value is definitely higher than this, the reason why I want to take it away is just because I don't want it to be dusty here.
"Shhh...... I can't pull out this spear," said the Spirit, pouting, and after two attempts, she had to give up the spear, which was about her height.
"It's ...... Dragon Bone Gun?" Zhang Jingyang approached the spear inserted in the ground and said lightly, the reason why he knew its name was because there were three Chu seals written on the barrel of the dragon bone gun under the gun head, and it should be its name right.
Li Zimu nodded, he had seen this gun, it was used by the dragon and the battle, according to legend, it was built by Xiang Yu's father, from the head of the gun to the barrel of the gun is made of fine iron, the whole gun is eight feet long, the Qin Dynasty's measurement standard is one foot is almost twenty-three centimeters now, that is to say, the total length of this gun is close to one meter nine, and there should be one section underground.
The barrel of this gun is not smooth, but slightly bulging like fish scales, and it feels very textured, and the silver-white gun is matched with a silver-white gun tassel, and the whole thing gives people a chilling feeling, I don't know how many people have been killed on the battlefield, and it is still so sharp.
"Hmph......" Zhang Jingyang snorted coldly twice, but he also didn't pull it out, as if it had grown on the ground, no matter how hard he tried, he didn't move at all, so he couldn't do anything.
"I'll come" Li Zimu shook his head and said, holding his right hand at a distance of two-thirds of the barrel of the gun, exerting force with one hand, and after a while, there was still no change.
Just when the two of them thought they were going to fail, they saw that the section that was originally buried in the ground was slowly rising, and the spirit opened his eyes and looked at the expressionless Li Zimu in surprise, this person's strength is also a little too great......
"Kick!" A dull sound of the gun hitting the stone, the keel gun in front of him was pulled out by Li Zimu!
"Let's go, go out and get the big one first, I guess there are good things in it" The corners of Li Zimu's mouth rose slightly, and he leaned his spear against the wall of the tomb and said to the two, taking the lead out of the tomb. None of the four sub-burial chambers he was looking for, and if there were, it would have been in this coffin, right?" he thought to himself.
"This sarcophagus is completely sealed" Zhang Jingyang looked at the stone platform in front of him that was about two and a half meters long and more than one meter wide and said, saying that it was a stone platform, because this coffin did not even have a lid, and it was directly sealed in its entirety.
"Mm-hmm" Li Zimu nodded, he was not very surprised by this, the seal was probably used to prevent water and moisture, and the material was the same as the green plaster mud used to fix the stone before.
Li Zimu slapped his right hand into the corner of the stone platform, and saw that the originally smooth and flat surface had a trace of cracks.
"Let's do it" Ignoring Chi Ling's surprised gaze, Li Zimu said lightly, and broke it along the crack he had just beaten, and the entire corner of the stone platform was broken by him. This green plaster mud is a long time ago, and it is not difficult to achieve such an effect, even Zhang Jingyang can do the same.
The three of them quickly broke off the top layer of green plaster mud and threw it aside, and it didn't take long for the whole inside to be revealed.
"It's still a three-layer coffin,......" Li Zimu looked at the wooden coffin inside, and said softly, this is definitely not a coffin, because the coffin is not so big, and it is not this square appearance, the only explanation is that this is a set of coffins, and there is a smaller one inside, which is the real coffin.
The stone coffin is covered with a layer of fine sand, and there are two large sleepers with a diameter of 60 centimeters, and the two ends of the coffin are fixed by the sleepers that are cushioned on the outside and the outside, and the entire Nanmu coffin inside is suspended in the air, and this design is also to be able to prevent corrosion.
