"This is a group of tombs, what you are talking about should be the tomb of the Queen Mother, and the tomb of the Queen Mother is in a shallow place, as if it is a cover for this underground palace, and it is not connected to this underground palace."

Xia Yuyao said in surprise: "No, that's the Queen Mother, isn't it too much?" ”

"Hehe, filial piety didn't seem to have such a high status at that time, and many people thought that the relationship between King Qin and the Queen Mother was not so harmonious."

Xia Yuyao listened very carefully, and she suddenly felt that archaeology and history were actually quite interesting, they were like detectives, exploring the stories and truths that had been buried in history.

Fang Shi ignored their conversation, reaching out to touch the wall from time to time, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

"Professor Ren, in general, what's behind the masonry?"

"Fine sand and big stones, fine sand and big stones are all effective means to prevent tomb robbers, just now at the mouth of the pit we entered, if you pay attention to the situation of the section, it should confirm my statement."

"What about down there?"

"Below is a few meters thick stone paving, imagine that this project is really huge."

"Hehe, the first emperor, there are a lot of resources that can be used, and there are many people who are not at ease, so they all happen to do this."

Ren Fan nodded: "Mr. Fang is right, this mausoleum has been built for decades. ”

"The bricks and stones are made of dark bricks, but what about the wood?"

"Naturally, we use yin wood, but we don't have any wood here, and there may be one in the coffin in the tomb."

"No wood?"

"Yes, so far. I know you guys seem to like these shades, don't you? ”

Fangshi does not hide it either. Nodding, "Not bad." Yin wood can be used as a magic tool, and it is a precious material that warlocks love. ”

Ren Fan smiled sarcastically: "Maybe someone has taken it away, maybe we weren't the first to arrive at the scene, we didn't receive the notice until the Qinling Tomb was locked down for a week, in addition, I also know that a lot of people died at the Qinling Museum, does Mr. Fang know what's going on?" ”

Fang Shi looked at Ren Fan very seriously and said, "I don't think you should know those things, so what's the use of that for you?" It's just going to get you in trouble. ”

Any sail is stunned. Then he nodded and said, "That's right, I'm a little confused." Actually, you warlocks are different from us, we want the traces and truth of history, and what you want seems to be more realistic. ”

"Hehe, so to speak, do you think we are unwilling to destroy these precious cultural relics?"

Ren Fan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's just that I'm very angry, these precious cultural relics may be damaged and may never be there anymore, in a sense." It's nothing short of a crime. ”

Fang Shi ignored Ren Fan's anger and asked lightly, "What does Professor Ren think is the value of these cultural relics?" ”

"This. Of course, the historical value of the artifact. ”

"What is the historical value of the artifact?"

"Of course, this is the craftsmanship, art, culture and historical information contained in the cultural relics, which can give us a correct understanding of the historical appearance that has been buried in time."

"If there are more detailed textual materials to describe this historical information, then are these artifacts still worth what you say? Perhaps, they will eventually become just playthings, right? ”

"Well, but there are no more detailed historical documents from that era."

"How do you know there isn't? Don't you think it's strange that the government is generous enough to let us come and go here? If these things are really so precious, will the state turn a blind eye? ”

Ren Fan looked at Fang Shi in surprise, he suddenly felt that his justification for criticizing these warlocks seemed a little untenable, after the cultural relics lost their historical and cultural value, they could really only become a plaything, if from this point of view, his motivation for wanting to get the cultural relics was no different from these warlocks on the surface.

Walking along the road that has been set up with lights, soon the square stone will appear around the road has become a little wider, and the ground is also a little different, the original flat brick ground, now it is a whole piece of large stone slab ground, on these stone slabs, there are many thin grooves, Fang Shi immediately thought of the cave secret passage of the Li family ancestral hall.

"Professor Ren, what's the use of touching the trenches in the ground?"

"This may be a diversion of water, legend has it that there is a sea of mercury structure in the Qin Tomb, maybe this is a trench used to guide the flow of mercury."

"Oh, so is there a sea of mercury now?"

"Yes, in the central burial chamber, but it's not a sea area, it's just around the coffin."

Xia Yuyao interjected and asked, "Mercury vapor is poisonous." ”

"That's right, so we've closed the central chamber again, and if we can keep the high concentration of mercury vapor inside, we may be able to keep the contents from rotting."

"Then we can't see the central burial chamber?"

"There's a camera."

As they spoke, everyone suddenly felt that their eyes were empty, the tomb had come to an end, this should be the former tomb, which looked quite large, and there were some soldiers and archaeological staff in it, of course, a few Xuanmen warlocks were indispensable.

Looking up, the chamber spans fifty or sixty meters, and is a rectangular structure with a width greater than the depth, in which there are no pillars to support, and the vault is completely supported by clever design, with large carved stone blocks to support, which is probably not easy to build.

Ren Fan looked at Fang Shi observing the dome, and said with a smile: "The construction here is actually not as difficult as you think?" In fact, the dome was built first and then excavated to form the burial chamber. ”

Fang Shi suddenly, I see! Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry.

"Hey, there's a mural."

Xia Yuyao walked quickly to the wall of the tomb, Fang Shi and others also followed, these murals are carved on the surface of the polished stone, and the surface of the stone is also peeling, but it has little impact on the overall effect of the murals, these murals are interconnected and independent, and the content of the paintings is different.

Ren Fan pointed to the mural and introduced: "This is a picture of the Son of Heaven hunting, which can be seen from the regulations of the honor guard. Qin used Zhou Li instead. Qin didn't innovate much in this regard. However, from the perspective of the configuration of troops, Qin's art of war is very high, in different battlefield environments and different strategic objectives, the layout of the battle array and the configuration of troops are different, this painting is mainly chariots and cavalry, few infantry. ”

Fang Shi looked at and listened with a smile, and Ren Fan saw that everyone was listening to his explanation very carefully, and he was also very satisfied.

"This one is a sacrificial picture. The ancients attached great importance to the sacrifice, and the purpose of the sacrifice is also many, sacrifice to the sky, worship the ancestors, pray for rain, pray for blessings, etc., with different purposes, the ritual and specifications of the sacrifice are also different, from this picture, like the sacrifice before spring ploughing, you pay attention to this farmer, as well as the sacrifices on the altar, mainly grains. There are no livestock, on the contrary. But the people who participated in the sacrifice here were leading the oxen. ”

Fang Shi looked at the altar on the painting carefully, and he was surprised to see that the altar on the painting turned out to be a very standard spell altar arrangement, but thinking that this underground palace was the masterpiece of the Earth Demon Gate, Fang Shi was also relieved.

There are many murals on the wall, according to any fan, the value of these murals is immeasurable, these murals accurately depict the culture and living conditions of the Chinese people, explain many unsolved mysteries in history, and have a huge role in enriching our understanding of the history of the Qin Dynasty.

Then everyone went to see the left and right ear chambers, the ear chambers are not just one, but a series of small spaces, respectively put all kinds of funeral ritual and funeral goods, including horses and people, but now there are only scattered dry bones, but those ceramics and gold and silver utensils are still well placed there. In these tombs, there are soldiers and archaeologists working, and there are also some warlocks like Fang Shi and them, looking carefully around, but people are very serious about holding a Luo Geng, only Fang Shi is a few people, wandering around with their hands behind their backs, like ordinary tourists.

In the end, Ren Fan led them to the passage leading to the central burial chamber, where a temporary workbench had been set up, on which there were large-screen monitors and operating tables, and there were many wires leading to the central burial chamber along the corridor, in front of the workbench, there were two archaeologists and two people from the Security Bureau, they were all watching the screen carefully, even if Fang Shi and the others came behind them, they did not look back.

Fang Shi and others looked at the picture curiously, the quality of the picture is not bad, but the light is a little dark, because of the equipment, the picture has not been compensated, and the noise point is naturally slightly larger, but you can still see the situation inside very clearly.

Due to the lack of references, it is difficult to have an intuitive impression of the size of the central burial chamber, but it feels quite large, and there are quite a few stone pillars in it, and the pillars have dragon patterns, and these pillars support the high dome, and on the dome, there are really shining stars, like a simulation of a celestial dome. In the middle of the ground, there is a circular platform, on which is placed a coffin that looks huge, and around the coffin, there are four beasts with their heads outward, which should be Jianxi, staring in all directions with big eyes in anger.

Around the central round platform, there is a sea of silver mercury, this sea occupies about eighty percent of the area of the central burial chamber, in this sea of mercury, there are twelve rainbow bridges, the rainbow bridge is slightly arched, there are railings on the bridges, and exquisite carvings can be seen on the railings.

On the outer side of this circumference, there are twelve tall golden figures, in fact they are black, and these golden figures hold the entire dome with their hands, as if holding the whole sky. These golden bodies are strong and graceful, and their faces and expressions are lifelike, and the ancients have made these huge creatures so detailed, which is also amazing.

Fang Shi saw it with emotion, this is the emperor's tomb, and the other emperor's tombs are compared to this, it is simply a dirt pit.

Xia Yuyao also said with emotion: "This is too grandiose, uncle." ”

Everyone nodded, and Ren Fan smiled: "This tomb is one hundred zhang in diameter, 231 meters, and the area of the mercury pool is 100,000 square meters. ”

Now even Fangshi opened his mouth wide, tens of thousands of tons of mercury! Under the level of mining and smelting at that time, how much effort and cost did it take to collect these, and the twelve big gold men were said to have been made by melting the weapons of the world, and perhaps, even the Jiuding of the Zhou Dynasty was also melted into it.

This is the Emperor! While making people feel that the egg hurts, it will also give birth to a strong sense of jealousy.

However, what surprised Fang Shi even more was that the Earth Demon Gate was able to produce such a large magic weapon, which was quite good! (To be continued......)
