Chapter 485: The coffin

In the middle of these giant stone pillars, which are 20 meters apart from each other, there is also a bronze maid statue with a height of 250 centimeters, soft facial lines, beautiful face, dressed as a waiter, and holding a copper basin with a diameter of 60 centimeters in both hands!

There are not many decorative carvings on the bronze maid statue, but the clothes and facial expressions on the body are extremely delicately depicted, and each one seems to be different. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition, there was a wrist-thick hemp rope in the copper plate they held above the top.

When you get closer, you can smell the strong and pungent smell of gasoline on the hemp rope!

Of course, in ancient times, this was not gasoline, but kerosene, that is, unrefined oil!

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Xiang took a lighter from the mustard seed space, then pulled some rags and made a torch, and took out the gasoline in the mustard seed space to soak the hemp rope for a while, and then lit the hemp rope in the copper basin!

Soon, the hemp rope that Ye wanted to light also attracted the raw oil inside the maid's body because of the good sealing, but not completely volatile, and then a little fire became brighter and brighter!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Xiang used the same method to light all the bronze maid lamps between each stone pillar!

Ye Xiang didn't count how many maid bronze lamps he had lit, but when he took the tiger head and walked through a 'mouth' shape, like a corridor-like structure, and a giant stone corridor with a width of 20 meters alone to return to the original point, the whole process actually took Ye Xiang nearly an hour!

Although it took some effort to light the fuel lamp, Ye Xiang's legs and feet were definitely not slow, but it was precisely because of this that this huge underground space was so magnificent.

Even more than all the underground stone caves that Ye Xiang had passed through before, they were huge and magnificent!

Although he had been prepared in his heart for a long time, when the hundreds of bronze maid lamps were fully lit, looking at the scene in the underground palace that was almost brightly lit, he couldn't help but make Ye Xiang, who had seen it with his own eyes, suddenly stunned, and even a noisy little gold bulged out with a pair of bird's eyes.

Coffin!

Everywhere Ye Xiang looked, there were all wooden coffins neatly arranged, densely packed with no less than two thousand!

In the entire square, the super-giant underground palace with a side length of nearly 300 meters and a height of more than 10 meters is lined up with wooden coffins one by one on the sunken square.

These wooden coffins do not have coffin beds for coffins like traditional Chinese tombs, but are placed on three thick iron cables! At the two ends of the iron ropes are two bronze crouching tigers weighing at least more than ten tons, and a row of five bronze crouching tigers is connected by three thick chains, and on the iron chains connected by this row of bronze crouching tigers are placed nearly 50 coffins!

More than half of the sunken square, which covers an area of nearly 90,000 square meters, is filled with coffins placed in this way. And the vacant place is obviously reserved for later generations, but the Kangju royal family only existed for more than 500 years before disappearing!

In addition to these dense coffins, nearly 100 bronze crouching tigers are also particularly spectacular, and because of the time span of more than 500 years, they have different styles and are highly collectible.

In addition to the shocking dense coffins and bronze crouching tigers, the nine giant pillars that support the roof of the cave in the sunken plaza are also particularly attractive!

Not for the boulder pillar that Ye Xiang saw before, on the square that sank 5 meters, there were nine giant stone statues that supported all lion-headed human bodies, each of which was more than 15 meters high and 5 meters in diameter, and all of them were held high with both hands, and the top of the head and hands formed a triangle to steadily support the roof of the cave.

It was the first time Ye Xiang had seen such a tall giant stone statue, and although the carving and chiseling process was relatively rough, this height alone was already particularly attractive!

In addition, in the center of the giant pillar of the nine lion-headed human bodies, also in the center of the sunken square, there is a three-headed golden lion, the lion is on all fours, the three heads are divided into three directions, and the lion body about nine meters high reflects a brilliant golden light under the illumination of Ye Xiang's strong flashlight, but Ye Xiang knows at a glance that the giant three-headed lion golden statue is only gilded on the surface, and the inside is only bronze. But even so, such a large bronze statue is already unparalleled in the world!

And because of the volley placement and the relatively dry relationship in the northwest region, these coffins made of poplar wood and covered with black lacquer are relatively intact except for a few that have been damaged and fallen to the ground and rolled out of a pile of white bones.

"This is really spectacular, I am afraid that there are not many coffins in the whole world that can appear in one tomb!"

After sighing, Ye Xiang went down to the bluestone square that sank about 5 meters through the 10-meter-wide steps connected to the main tomb road.

Looking at the coffins around him that were full of decay and dead silence, Ye Xiang didn't open any of them, but just walked through them with tiger heads, quietly feeling the historical afterglow of the underground palace that combines majestic magnificence and eerie horror!

Moreover, Ye Xiang also found that the corpses in these coffins were not princes and nobles, they should just be funeral personnel such as eunuchs and palace maids!

The main reason for this judgment is that there are very few funerary goods in it, and the clothes left on the corpses are not particularly gorgeous.

Because of this, Ye Xiang did not plan to move these coffins except for planning to take away these bronze crouching tigers that carried the coffins.

Ye Xiang, who had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, came to the center of the entire sunken square, looked up at the nine-meter-high, magnificent and magnificent three-headed golden lion colossus in front of him, and couldn't help but be amazed in his heart!

Such a masterpiece of art is really the essence of Kangju people's culture and art, and its value is immeasurable!

In China, I am afraid that only the bronze colossus of the Qin Twelve Golden Men can be compared!

After looking around the gilded three-headed lion colossus for a while, Ye Xiang thought about the lack of time and turned to a road on the left side of the square that led to the side hall on the left.

The reason why it is said to be a side hall instead of an ear chamber is mainly because the tomb passage here is wider, the murals are more gorgeous, the reliefs on the corners and eaves are more exquisite, and after crossing a distance of 30 meters and entering the side hall, there are more ear chambers connecting the side hall.

And these side halls and transepts are the real funerary goods with high value.

There are not only gold and silver utensils, jade jewelry, bronze ware of various shapes, but also silk fabrics such as silk, Shu brocade and silk from the Han Dynasty, as well as pottery vases and sculptures from the West, Persian carpets and other high-value funerary goods!

Although the silk fabric has decayed a lot because it has existed for too long, Ye Xiang looked for it, but still preserved a large part of it.
