58, Dining Hall (2)

We looked at the phoenix bird on the bronze tree, and we were extremely impressed by the owner of this ghost tomb. What kind of person can enjoy such a luxurious dining hall?

There is a stone chamber on each side of the dining hall, I don't know what it is.

The three of us slowly came back to our senses and walked into the dining hall.

Two huge and colorful murals appeared in front of us, depicting the construction of the site of the ghost tomb and some past events of the ghost clan. It depicts an ancient tribe who was good at divination and sacrifice because they received the will of the gods, led their tribe out of their original territory, and moved their whole clan here, where they built a mausoleum to preserve the will of the gods, and built this mausoleum to bury their own people at the same time that they spent many generations building the mausoleum. They integrated into some tribes and attacked others, and invested a lot of human and financial resources in the construction of these two tombs and palaces. However, due to the thinning of their bloodlines due to the combination of close relatives, the clan withered, and by the time of the last generation of patriarchs, there were only two children in their clan. One person continues to live in the temple of ghosts, while the other is taken away by the Witch Clan.

"I think these two children should be Lemo and Da Wuzhu. Lemo should be buried in it, but another mausoleum where the will of God is buried is the one in which the witches must be involved. "I said after looking at the mural.

"I feel the same way, but since the Great Witch Clan is also a member of the Ghost Clan, why don't you bury them here together?" Brother Neng said while stroking the wrong gold and copper incense burner on the ground.

"Xiao Linzi, look at this." Brother Neng picked up a very delicate incense burner and said.

I took this only delicate incense burner, and the casting on it looked very much like the scene of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, and all kinds of birds flew beside a phoenix, and the chirping appearance was very expressive. Although these birds have different postures around the phoenix, their eyes are all looking at the phoenix at the top. On the base of the incense burner, four elephants lift the incense burner, the huge trunk is happily raised, the incense burner on the side of the various beasts in different forms, or rush, or prey, or enjoy the family, at the boundary between birds and beasts, four identical macaques hang on the branches of the tree and are arranged in the four corners of the incense burner. The whole incense burner is truly ingenious. The intricate construction, the size of two fists, is the most elaborate antique I've ever seen, and even more remarkable is that it is all cast in bronze, not carved.

"Tut~ This is a top-level national treasure when you take it out, Brother Neng has developed this time." I said with a smile.

Brother Neng laughed a few times and continued to look for valuable items we could take with us.

"Brother, show me, this seems to be open." Mi Ye is obviously not as fanatical as me and Brother Neng, she shows reverence for this place, and does not covet the utensils here like we do.

I handed the incense burner in my hand to Mi Ye, only to see her hand gently twisting the macaque's body, the branch that originally looked tightly together slowly pulled out the incense burner, Mi Ye gently pinched the phoenix, and the incense burner was opened in front of me. In the incense burner, all kinds of swimming fish poked out of the water and opened their mouths to the sky, which seemed to be used to hold incense, so that they burned more fully.

I can't imagine that the wisdom of the ancients could have come up with such a remarkable way of combining birds and animals and swimming fish on a single incense burner. I couldn't close my mouth when I looked at this incense burner, it was really developed.

I asked Mi Ye to put away the incense burner and continue to wander around the dining hall. There are many incense burners under the bronze plane tree, but none of them are as big as this one, and they are too big for us to take with them.

On the opposite side of the gate there is also a bronze cast table, on which all kinds of sacrificial ritual vessels are very complete on it, each of which is priceless, but the size is too big, we will not consider it for the time being.

"Xiao Linzi, come here." Brother Neng's excited voice came from a stone room.

I felt like I was following the sound.

Under the light, all kinds of treasures came into view, and my mouth was wide open, and I couldn't hide the surprise in my heart.

All kinds of jade, turquoise, agate inlaid or directly carved into a variety of artistic and practical utensils, which is breathtaking.

I pulled Brother Neng and said, "Brother Neng, if you hit me, I may be dazzled." ”

Brother Neng punched me, I rubbed my eyes and said, "It's true." ”

Brother Neng and I hugged each other excitedly, and our eyes, which we had never seen so many treasures, were a little moist.

I let go of Brother Neng and picked up a pair of brown and black drinking vessels from the stone platform, which were supposed to be made of rhinoceros horn, which was popular from the Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty. The rhinoceros is divided into three segments, the upper part of the mouth and the thin neck are the body, the middle abdomen is solid, which is called a "false" abdomen in archaeology, and the lower part is the ring foot. Although there is no treasure jade inlay on it, and the overall shape is much smaller than the normal bronze goose, it is very well preserved and can be called a rare treasure. I unceremoniously got this pair of rhino horns in my bag.

Brother Neng took a fancy to a piece of jade phoenix, the jade phoenix and green bamboo body blue wave pool, dripping dew and translucent light. It's so smart, it's like it's still stained with water.

"Brother Neng, why does it seem that there is still water on it?" I asked.

"I found it in a pool of water." Brother Neng pointed to the corner and said.

I hurried over to see where such beautiful jade was raised. I saw that on a stone platform, there was a stone kiln. There is a quiet and secluded pool of water on it, and not a drop of water overflows the stone kiln, and the jade phoenix that Brother Neng got here, the ancients Kezhen will preserve the items.

Just when I admired the stone kiln that raised jade, Brother Neng found another incredible treasure, in a bronze box, Brother Neng found a black pearl the size of an egg, and he was holding it in his hand and looking through it lovingly.

Our faces were filled with the joy of harvest. Most of the rest are huge sacrificial utensils, Brother Neng originally wanted to pry a few gems, but I stopped him, after all, the coming day is long, so there is no need to rush for a while.

Brother Neng and I reluctantly withdrew from the stone room.

Mi Ye came over and said, "Brother, there are some vacant coffins in the other stone room, what are you over there?" ”

Brother Neng and I looked at each other and smiled, and said with a smile: "The group is full of treasures, although there are more large ritual vessels that can't be taken away, but we still found a few treasures that can be taken away." ”

Miya nodded, not asking what we had found.

"Xiaoye, have you found the tombway?" I asked.

Mi Ye shook his head and said, "I looked around, but I didn't find the tomb. ”

"Definitely here. It's just the way through the passage, and we'll look for it. I said.
