Chapter 488: Excursion (2)
This palace is called the Qi'en Palace, and it is also built on the white marble steps, but compared to the Qi'en Gate, there are only one layer of eight steps, and the steps of the Qi'en Hall have three layers and eighteen steps, so the Qi'en Hall is more imposing.
Stepping on three steps is a flat and wide platform, and I took more than ten steps forward before stepping into the hall, and then the first thing that catches my eye is a thick and round Nanmu giant pillar, the thickest of which is the thickest of them, even if two adult men hug each other, they can not be together, and their height is even more amazing, twelve or three meters high, like a giant standing on the sky and the earth looking down on the dwarf human beings.
Xiao Jing looked at these giant trees, his eyes were full of amazement, and his mouth was also amazed: "These pillars are really big, this is the first time I have seen such a big wooden pillar!" Brother, how did you say that the ancients of hundreds of years ago moved these giant trees here and built them into palaces? It must have been difficult to build such a majestic structure in ancient times, right? She didn't know how precious Nanmu was, otherwise she would have been even more surprised.
Zhang Chengyuan was stunned for a while, and said with a slight sigh: "Maybe there are a lot of sad blood and tears behind this." But after only a while, he returned to his normal, touched Little Crystal's head, and said, "Crystal, we just came out today to have some knowledge and play, so there's no need to think too much." ”
"Brother, it's you thinking too much, not me." Little Crystal Road.
In the middle of the palace is the bronze statue of Zhu Di, the original owner of this palace and even the entire mausoleum, the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This emperor holds the power of life and death in the world. I am afraid that just one look can frighten the subjects of the world. It's a pity that in modern times, no one will be in awe of him, and most of the tourists present look at him casually and don't bother to pay attention to him. However, Xiao Jing asked Zhang Chengyuan about the situation of this ancient emperor out of curiosity.
Compared with the bronze statue of Zhu Di, tourists are more interested in the cultural relics unearthed from the Dingling Tomb, including gold ingots, silver ingots, jade, craft jewelry, jade ornaments, clothing, etc., among which the most precious are the golden crown and phoenix crown, that is, the hats worn by the ancient emperors and queens. Of course, these two should just be imitations, and the real thing is priceless, where will it be placed here?
However, looking at so many glittering and precious cultural relics, Xiao Jing thought about it for a while, and at this time, her eyes lit up, and she whispered to Zhang Chengyuan: "Brother, if I can have these things, then I must be the richest woman in Korea." That piece of gold ingot alone is estimated to be a kilogram. And there are one or two thousand pearls on the phoenix crown, and if they are auctioned off, I will definitely have food and clothing for the rest of my life. ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "Don't daydream, these things are not something that an individual can have." However, even if you don't have this kind of thing, with your brother here, you don't have to worry about it in your life. ”
"Brother, do you want to support me for the rest of your life?" Little Crystal was immediately overjoyed.
"Well, if you can't get married." Zhang Chengyuan joked.
"Then I won't marry." Little Crystal said without thinking.
Zhang Chengyuan immediately patted her head lightly and scolded: "Talking crazy again, looking for a fight!" ”
After hearing the conversation between the two, Cheng Youli and Liu Yifei couldn't help but glance at them, Liu Yifei just thought it was interesting, but Cheng Youli was thoughtful.
After admiring these royal relics, the four of them went out of the back door of the Qi'en Palace, went down the steps, and saw a red door wall, commonly known as the inner red door. After the inner red gate is the third courtyard.
Passing through the inner red gate, the first thing you see is a two-pillar archway gate, also known as the Lingxing Gate.
Watching the tourists come and go, but most of the tourists only can't enter and exit when they pass through this Lingxing Gate, Xiao Jing and Cheng Youli couldn't help but feel strange, and looked at Zhang Chengyuan suspiciously, wanting him to solve their doubts as a "China expert".
Zhang Chengyuan immediately said: "This gate is called Lingxing Gate, some people think that it is the door of life and death, and think" the living do not enter the dead and the dead do not come out, and the tourists may feel that if they walk in from this gate, it is a little unlucky, so they do not pass through the door, but pass through the door." ”
"Brother, do you think this statement makes sense?"
"It shouldn't make sense, but we don't need to be mavericks through this door, so as not to attract the attention of others and be recognized."
"Since it doesn't make sense, then I'll take a look, and I'm not afraid of being recognized anyway." Little Crystal said with great interest.
Zhang Chengyuan said casually: "Then you can go." He found that when they were talking, there were already a few people who didn't believe in evil or had never heard that Lingxingmen was the door of life and death, and walked through Lingxingmen without taking it seriously, so Xiao Jing was not forbidden to do so, but he, Cheng Youli, and Liu Yifei still walked over from Lingxingmen.
After passing the Lingxing Gate, there is a tall square city, and on the square city is a bright tower with yellow tiles and red walls.
The so-called Ming Tower, is the ancient emperor mausoleum in front of the high-rise building, that is to say, behind the Ming Tower is the emperor and the queen after the death of the mausoleum, according to Zhang Chengyuan last night to see the online information knows, in front of the Ming Tower, the burial is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and his queen Xu.
Before entering Fangcheng, Zhang Chengyuan and others also found that not far from the city gate, there was a stone offering case, on which there were five kinds of stone carved offerings for sacrifice, commonly known as "stone five offerings", composed of an incense burner, two vases, and two candlesticks. Needless to say, Cheng Youli and Xiao Crystal, even Zhang Chengyuan has seen this kind of strange thing for the first time, but fortunately, he read the relevant information last night and knows what is going on, so he doesn't feel how strange it is. But Cheng Youli and Xiao Jing were puzzled again, and Zhang Chengyuan had to explain to them again.
Hearing Zhang Chengyuan's explanation concise and easy to understand, Liu Yifei couldn't help but say: "Brother Zhang, I was originally the guide for you, but today, along the way, I found that I seemed to be useless." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "How could it not be? If you hadn't arranged for us and showed us the way, how could we get here today, and how could we see these rare landscapes in front of us? ”
Cheng Youli and Xiao Jing also said yes again and again.
Said a few words. The four of them bypassed the stone five offerings. Entered the Fangcheng City Gate Cave. Along one of the passages of the T-shaped passage, walk up to the Ming Tower, the Ming Tower is twelve or three meters high, and it is standing on the mountain peak again, so standing on the Ming Tower and overlooking it, not only some of the scenery that have been seen in the Changling Tomb before are in full view, even the scenery on the foothills of the nearby mountains is almost unobstructed. I have to say that the scenery around here is really good, and the feng shui seems to be excellent.
There is a tall vermilion stone tablet inside the Ming Tower. Engraved with "Emperor Chengzuwen's Mausoleum" seven diameter rulers in regular script. The four of them went in and looked at it a few times and walked out, and they had already seen two steles along the way today, and this stele did not have anything else surprising except for the special color, so they didn't stop much and just take a look.
Then they took a turn on the Ming Tower, and after taking a look at the surrounding mountains and rivers, the four of them prepared to go down. Before leaving, Zhang Chengyuan had a whim. I want to use my divine sense to pass through the "treasure mountain" behind the Ming Tower and check the situation in the mausoleum. I don't want to know why, after the divine sense penetrates into the soil a foot deep, it can no longer be an inch, it seems to be blocked by some formation protective shield, sighed in my heart, and then withdrew my divine sense, thinking: "Sure enough, it is the emperor's mausoleum, it is very well protected, it seems that if you want to see the situation inside, you can only rely on manual excavation." It's just a pity that this mausoleum has not been excavated, if you want to see the situation of the emperor's mausoleum, you have to go to the nearby Dingling Mausoleum, according to the information on the Internet, only the mausoleum of Dingling has been excavated. ”
After getting off the Ming Tower, they didn't linger much, and the four of them walked out of Changling directly, and then got in the car and went to the location of Dingling.
Although the Ming Tombs are said to be the Ming Tombs, there are only a few places that really have to be seen, in addition to the largest and most intact Changling, the most worthy of a glance should be the Dingling, because only there can be seen with your own eyes what the emperor's mausoleum looks like.
After ten minutes, Zhang Chengyuan and his entourage entered Dingling, compared with Changling, the layout of Dingling is about the same, but the scale is smaller, and Dingling's Qi'en Gate and Qi'en Hall have been damaged, only the white marble pedestal is left, so it is even less worth seeing, fortunately, there is an underground palace to visit.
Coming to the entrance of the underground palace, Zhang Chengyuan and the four of them slowly descended down the steps to the depths of the ground, descending about four or five floors in height, and finally arrived at the real entrance of the underground palace. In addition, the front, left, and right rooms are almost empty, while the middle and back rooms have some furnishings.
There are three "thrones" carved from white marble in the middle room, one belongs to the tomb owner, Emperor Wanli, and the other two belong to his two queens, Empress Xiaoduan and Empress Xiaojing. Each throne is preceded by a pair of five offerings made of yellow glaze and a large porcelain jar with a blue and white dragon pattern. In the back room, there are the coffins of Emperor Wanli and the coffins of the two queens and more than 20 red boxes, but looking at the relatively new appearance, you know that it should be a replica again.
The four of them went in and walked around, and they didn't stay long before they walked out of the city, and there were too many tourists, and it seemed too crowded; Second, there is not much to see inside, and most of the things that are really visible have either been damaged or moved to museums; Thirdly, none of the four of them were lovers of mausoleum architecture, and they did not want to study its structure and how it was built up close, but just to watch the excitement; Fourth, this is the mausoleum, where the dead once lived, and if you stay for a long time, you will inevitably have an eerie feeling, although it may only be a psychological effect.
After leaving, Xiao Jing couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "Brother, it turns out that the tomb of the ancient emperor after his death is like this, it is indeed much more magnificent than ordinary people, but if I die, I am too lazy to do so many troublesome things, the corpse is burned to ashes, and it is a hundred, isn't it better?" ”
Although he only stayed in the underground palace for less than ten minutes, he shouldn't have felt depressed, but after all, the mausoleum itself gave people an eerie feeling, so Xiao Crystal felt a little depressed.
Zhang Chengyuan shouted lightly: "What nonsense? How old are you to talk about whether you die or not? Think less about these things in the future! But you're right, after death, there's no need to make it so complicated! ”
After watching the underground palace, the four people turned around at will, climbed the Ming Tower to see, and went to the Dingling Museum to see some of the unearthed cultural relics of the Dingling, some of which have been seen in the Changling Qien Palace, but there are also many that are not there or the style is different, such as the heart-shaped jade buckle, the sheep's head jade belt hook, the jeweled gold belt, the mutton fat jade pot, etc., almost all of them have a unique shape, exquisite and abnormal, and they are not extraordinary, so everyone is also a feast for the eyes. It's just a pity that she can only see it, not buy it, which makes Xiao Jing feel very sorry, otherwise she would have to instigate Zhang Chengyuan to buy a few, even if it is an imitation.
After that, everyone left by car, found a restaurant and had a lunch, and then set off again to see the tombs of some other emperors, and spent another two or three hours to finally see all the remaining eleven tombs. Of course, some mausoleums were not open at all, and the four of them just stood on a high place nearby and watched for a while.
But relying on his divine sense, Zhang Chengyuan can naturally see the situation inside, and Cheng Youli and Xiao Jing are also somewhat touched by his light. As for Liu Yifei, although she didn't get the help of Zhang Chengyuan's divine sense, she couldn't see anything a lot of the time, but as long as Zhang Chengyuan and the three of them could have fun, she would be happy.
