Chapter 317: The Secret of Ornamentation
It's just that the seal of the ancient monk is not so easy to open. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the info cloud thunder has the ability to sense and control thunder and lightning, its own thunder and lightning spiritual power is far purer than the spiritual power in this copper tripod. However, before the end of heaven and earth, this bronze tripod was cast by cultivators who did not know what level of cultivation they had, which was really extraordinary.
Yun Lei could only extract the nine thunderbolts in this bronze tripod one by one.
The Bronze Age of China began in ancient times. In the memories of the wooden ghost face. The ancestors of mankind at that time, after discovering the wonderful use of fire. He began to learn to use flame to work stone tools. Many of the stone tools used by human ancestors were scattered on the surface of the earth in the process of geological movement, and contained various metal minerals. Thus, the most primitive metal smelting began.
Due to their relatively low melting points, copper and tin were the first to be utilized. The ancient capital of the Xia Dynasty excavated in China today, in today's Erlitou ruins, tens of thousands of square meters of original workshops for casting bronzes have been found. After cleaning, it was found that there were many pottery fans, crucibles, furnace walls, copper slag, charcoal, as well as some small pieces of bronze and a small number of large pieces of bronze ware.
It can be seen that the mortals at that time had mastered the most primitive method of casting bronze.
The bronze tripod in Yun Lei's hand is the style of the late Yin Shang period. The ornamentation is extremely rich and gorgeous. And these animal face patterns in the late Yin Shang period, such as ring column horns, ox horns, outer roll horns, sheep horns, involuted horns, zigzag horns, double dragon horns, giraffe horns, tiger head shapes, bear head shapes, gluttony, Kui dragon beast face patterns and other ornaments, represent the mortals at that time, for the reverence of the immortals and Buddhas.
If the memories in the wooden ghost face were more delicate, Yun Lei could even deduce the ethnic group of the immortal cultivator who cast this bronze tripod based on these ornaments, as well as the specific identity.
At this time, the bronze casting had reached a peak. The small bronze round tripod in Yun Lei's hand, although it is not big, uses the fan casting method, the lost wax method and the split casting method at the same time. This can make the birds and beasts on this small bronze tripod extremely exquisite.
The nine Yin Souls were all sealed in the nine strange birds that fluttered their wings and flew on the surface of this bronze tripod. And in the endless cloud and thunder patterns next to it, which are the most common in bronze, there are nine powerful thunderbolts that are connected to each other.
Yun Lei sensed the thunder and lightning surging in this bronze tripod. sighed, later generations of mortals always said that they didn't know what happened in ancient times, and they didn't believe in the past of immortals and Buddhas. But I don't know that the past of the ancient immortals and Buddhas has long been recorded by mortals or immortal cultivators, intentionally or unintentionally, in these bronze ornaments that have been handed down to this day.
According to the research of archaeologists and epigraphers, when the ornamentation on bronzes reached a peak at the end of the Yin Shang period, they quickly decreased. By the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ornaments representing the gods that had been all over the bronze ware quickly disappeared. Instead, there are some realistic ornaments, such as ring belt pattern, stealing curve pattern, heavy ring pattern, vertical scale pattern, wavy pattern, phoenix bird pattern, tile pattern and so on.
Sometimes, there are no textured plain objects.
This drastic change. There is only one explanation, and that is - the Heavenly Immortal Buddha, which was originally at its peak, disappeared without a trace in a short period of time. The object of worship gradually returned from heaven to earth. And those ornaments that will never be sanctified again, representing the immortals, Buddhas, and gods were quickly eliminated.
In this kind of change, the description of the ancient immortal Buddha is almost exactly the same as what the immortal cultivators know. Although there is no record of the battle of the gods in this ornament, there is no record of the advent of the era of the end of heaven and earth because of the ebb and flow of the aura of heaven and earth. However, this account is extremely true.
Cloud thunder absorbs thunder and lightning extremely quickly. Although because this bronze tripod itself is extraordinary, for a while, it can only be absorbed by wisps. But it goes on and on. The power of thunder and lightning stored in the bronze tripod is like a swimming pool that is releasing water. It quickly decreased.
And in this bronze small tripod, the thunder and lightning whose quality is obviously much stronger than ordinary thunder and lightning make Yun Lei feel very nourishing. The thunder and lightning spiritual power in the body's meridians is circulating faster and faster. During this period of time, some stagnant cultivation has gradually improved.
Until the thunder and lightning power in this bronze tripod was gradually exhausted, Yun Thunder could hear a clanging sound of this bronze tripod. In this bronze small ding, the thunder and lightning seal that bound the nine yin souls was broken after all.
At the moment when the seal was broken, the nine ghosts that were sealed in this bronze tripod rose up instantly. Yun Lei could hear a continuous and heart-rending cry and cry. Like a baby's cry at night. It's endless, and it's upsetting. And among them, there is actually a boundless anger mixed with anger.
Generally speaking, the Yin Soul is an absolute retreat from thunder and lightning. An ordinary thunderbolt. Even if it's just the household electricity that people use today. It can make the ghosts in the foundation building period and even the knot period fearful. Ghosts that can survive for a long time under these nine thunder and lightning seals are bound to be extraordinary.
At least, not too much fear of the power of thunder and lightning. And this kind of ghost thing, Yun Lei only knows one.
Sure enough, at the same time that the nine yin souls rose up and rolled up the yin qi in the sky, the nine figures appeared from the yin aura in the sky. These nine figures are actually nine ghosts belonging to the same race. The shape of this ghost creature is like that of a bird, except that its feathers are like drops of blood, and its color is red. And between the red feathers, there was actually a phosphorus ghost fire flashing.
And each of the nine bird-like ghosts had two heads and two pairs of wings. Shaped like a duck. But under the neck, there are two symmetrical but feathered lumps. Sticking two pieces of cloth is a very great business line. After seeing Yun Lei, a living person, these nine ghosts screamed and pounced on them.
Seeing the peculiar appearance of these nine figures, Yun Lei knew that his original guess was correct, and said: "Sure enough! In this bronze small ding, the nine yin souls sealed are indeed nine Gu Won Birds!"
Guhou bird is the most notorious ghost bird in the legends of Chinese dynasties. In the Song Dynasty's meticulous "Qi Dongye Yu", it is written: "Ghost car, commonly known as the nine-headed bird. …… It is rumored that this bird has a song in the past, which is one of the dogs, and the blood drops are the blame for the disaster. Therefore, those who hear about it will put out the lights of the dogs in order to arrest them through the country. …… The body is round like a kei, ten rings are clustered, its head has nine, one of it is alone, and the blood is dripping, as the world has said that each belly has two wings, when flying, the eighteen-winged Huo Huo actually entered, not for use, to have a dispute and break the wounded. ”
