Chapter 484: Ancient Tombs

Chapter 484: Ancient Tomb Group

After sighing in his heart, Ye Xiang pushed the stone gate hard, and with the hoarse friction sound, a stone path four meters wide and three meters high appeared in front of Ye Xiang's eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Then the light of the strong flashlight in his hand, you can clearly see the bull's head-style bronze lamps inlaid on the surrounding walls, and the lamps and lanterns are neatly extending into the tunnel that stretches for an unknown length in the dark.

Ye Xiang didn't mean to light these bull head lamps, the visibility of the strong flashlight in his hand was obviously better than these ancient bull head lamps.

This time, the stone path was extraordinarily long, and Ye Xiang walked nearly thirty meters before a new portal appeared, but it was not the kind of stone cave like the previous sacrificial hall, it was more like the ear chamber in the tomb, which was carved into the cave wall on the side of the tomb.

The two ear chambers are opposite each other, one left and one right, Ye Xiang first chose the ear chamber on the left hand side, moved the boulder blocking the ear chamber, looked at the black hole, the stone cave with a width of two meters and a height of 3 meters, and strode in.

The two ear chambers are opposite each other, one left and one right, Ye Xiang first chose the ear chamber on the left hand side, moved the boulder blocking the ear chamber, looked at the black hole, the stone cave with a width of two meters and a height of 3 meters, and strode in.

Less than 10 meters ahead, a stone chamber covering an area of about 200 square meters and about 3 meters high appeared in front of Ye Xiang. In the stone cave is a large vat with a sealed mouth.

The height of each vat is close to one meter, and the diameter of the mouth is about 80 cm, and more importantly, these vat are not ceramic, but real bronze!

Each bronze jar is carved with exquisite ornamentation, including animal patterns, exotic hunting patterns, war patterns, and ornaments representing a good harvest.

Judging from the style, these bronze jars are not cast in one piece, and they should be the funerary goods accumulated by generations of monarchs of Kangju Kingdom!

In addition, on the top of these vats, there are also sealed clay pots, and each clay pot has a small hole the thickness of a finger, and the meaning of leaving this small hole is to allow the dead soul to enjoy the sacrifices inside the vat.

Ye Xiang moved the clay pot at the mouth of a bronze vat nearby, and what appeared in front of him was most of the wheat seeds that had rotted into ashes, but there were still some remnants and had turned black!

Obviously, what is buried in this vat is wheat, that is, grain!

However, not all of the 89 bronze vats left in this cave are wheat, some of the wine that has dried up, and a small amount of rice, barley, and so on!

Although most of these grains and wines from more than 1,000 years ago have rotted to ashes, the 89 bronze vats left behind are rare treasures!

After casually inspecting a few bronze jars, Ye Xiang looked at the other stone cave connected to this stone chamber at the back with great interest!

After walking into this stone cave for more than ten meters, there is another stone chamber that is similar to just now. Similar to before, in addition to the passage about two meters wide in the center, the two sides of the aisle are filled with large jars with clay pots and seals.

It's just that only 14 of these large vats are the same bronze jars as in the previous stone chamber, and most of the back are brightly colored and beautifully decorated pottery jars!

Obviously, it was the person who was buried later, and he thought that there were not too many burial objects in the stone cave in front of him, and a new ear chamber was dug next to the previous stone cave.

Because the clay jar is larger than the bronze jar, there are only 78 large jars stored in this chamber. The same is stored for grain and wine!

In this way, there are six ear chambers for storing grain and wine. It's all connected, and the further you go, the shorter the years.

After looking at the six ear chambers, Ye Xiang calculated that he got a total of 103 bronze jars and 369 pottery jars!

Because it is a royal burial object, almost every vat is very exquisite, and it is also very well preserved! Although it is not a national treasure, it is also a rare thing in the collection of antiques or unearthed cultural relics, and each one is enough to reach the second-class cultural relics!

After checking the ear chamber on the left side, when Ye wanted to enter the right ear chamber opposite the main tomb road. Another succession of stone chambers appeared, and this time there were many more stone chambers than the ones where food was stored before. There are 12 in total.

However, the things in these 12 stone chambers disappointed Ye Xiang very much.

Bundles of swords, guns, swords, and halberds have been completely corroded and glued together, and even many wooden spears and long ges have been corroded because they are not very well preserved, and only the metal parts are corroded.

The armor was also a piece of splinters because of the decay of the skin lining it or the knots that connected it!

In addition, most of these weapons are ordinary things, and there are no fine products, so except for a few relatively well-preserved swords, most of them are damaged!

Even the swords that are saved by luck are not worth much. Therefore, after just a few glances and a casual selection of some relatively well-preserved weapons, Ye Xiang withdrew.

After walking about 20 meters along the main tomb road again, two white marble doors blocked Ye Xiang's path again.

"It's incredible!"

Ye Xiang, who had a hint of shock in his eyes, opened the stone door with force.

As if Ye wanted to see in the stone hall in front of him before, two white marble statues with a human head and a lion body that were 3 meters high and weighed more than 5 tons were guarding both sides of the stone gate.

After stepping out of the stone gate, there is a corridor with a width of nearly 10 meters, and it is completely paved with polished and smooth jade. The passage stretched forward until it sank into darkness.

On both sides of the road are squatting 20 bronze statues of Kangju warriors holding spears, wearing armor, with a serious expression, and a height of about 2 meters, if you add a base, I am afraid that it will not be less than 250 centimeters.

The 20 bronze warrior statues are spaced 2 meters apart from each other and extend to the end of the tunnel made of Hetian Qingyu.

In addition, Ye Xiang also found that the style of these bronze warrior sculptures is somewhat similar to Greek and Roman sculptures, but it is more combined with the living customs of many Kangju people, and the style of sculpture armor and the appearance of the characters are different from Greece and Rome.

After looking at these mighty bronze statues of warriors with serious facial expressions, they walked to the end of the corridor, and on the left and right sides, two giant stone pillars with at least four people hugging each other and a diameter of more than 3 meters, like huge Roman columns, the stone pillars were more than 10 meters high, firmly supporting the rock at the top.

Moreover, on the column head and base of the stone pillar, there are Buddhist Buddha statues in relief, which are exquisite.

After Ye Xiang held a strong flashlight and shone it towards the giant stone pillars, one after another huge stone pillars that were as straight as giants gradually revealed from the darkness.

These huge supporting stone pillars were lined up in a straight line, at a ninety degree angle to the green jade road under Ye Xiang's feet, as if they were stretching out in the surrounding darkness, as if there was no end in sight.
