Chapter 997: The Magnificent Underground Palace

……

Liu Dong first chose the ear chamber on the left hand, 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 Liu Dong. 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 centimeters. What's more, 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 and the aura displayed by the relics Yuanguang, these bronze jars are not cast as a whole, but a difference of nearly a hundred years, and they should be the funeral 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.

Liu Dong moved the clay pot at the mouth of a large 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 in this cave are wheat, and some of the wine has dried up. And a small amount of rice, barley, and the like!

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

After casually inspecting a few bronze jars. Liu Dong looked at the other stone cave connected to this stone chamber 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, Liu Dong calculated that there were 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 worthy of second-class cultural relics!

After checking the ear chamber on the left side, when Liu Dong entered 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 Liu Dong 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 brief glances and a casual selection of some relatively well-preserved weapons, Liu Dong retreated.

After walking about 20 meters along the main tomb road again, two white marble doors blocked Liu Dong's way again.

"It's incredible!"

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

As Liu Dong had seen in the stone hall in front of him, 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, Liu Dong 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 those of 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 Liu Dong 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 are arranged in a straight line, at a ninety-degree angle to the green jade road at Liu Dong's feet, as if they extend in the surrounding darkness, as if there is no end in sight.

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.

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, oil that has not been refined!

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

Soon, the hemp rope lit by Liu Dong also attracted the original oil that did not completely volatilize inside the maid's body because of the good sealing, and then a little fire became brighter and brighter!

Immediately afterwards, Liu Dong used the same way to light all the bronze maid lamps between each stone pillar!

Liu Dong didn't count how many 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 to return to the original point, the whole process actually took Liu Dong nearly an hour!

Although it took some effort to light the fuel lamp, Liu Dong's legs and feet are definitely not slow, but it is precisely because of this that this huge underground space is so magnificent.

Even more than all the underground stone caves that Liu Dong had passed through before, they were huge and grand!

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 Liu Dong, 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 Liu Dong 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 also 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 rope 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 used for the huge stone pillars that Liu Dong saw before, on the square that sank 5 meters, there were nine giant stone statues with lion heads and 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 top of the cave.

It was the first time Liu Dong had seen such a tall giant stone statue, and although the carving 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 Liu Dong's strong flashlight, but through the relics Yuanguang Liu Dong understands that the giant three-headed lion gold 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! (To be continued......)
