Chapter 602: Corpse Transformation? 【3rd Update】
The answer is no!
Before Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, that is, during the Warring States Period, the princes of various countries had already announced the abolition of the martyrdom system, and Qin Shi Huang's ancestor Qin Xiangong also officially announced the abolition of human martyrdom in 384 BC. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Therefore, in the period of Qin Shi Huang, it has been changed to wooden maids, or terracotta figurines and other means to replace people martyrdom, this is the historical background of the appearance of the Qinling Terracotta Warriors, in order to confirm this, later archaeologists also conducted a CT examination of the Qinling Terracotta Warriors, and the scan results showed that it was indeed hollow, and there were no human bones or other fillings.
However, this still does not explain the scene of thousands of people and horses in the Qinling Terracotta Army, at that time the process of firing pottery was far from reaching this level, and the posture, appearance and even demeanor of each terracotta warrior and horse were different, which was even more difficult than carving, and it was almost impossible to complete...... Until now, no archaeologist has been able to give a definite answer to this question.
Among the countless uncertain speculations, Pang Xiaodou felt that one of them was the most credible:
The first is that the mold for making terracotta warriors and horses at that time was to use real people for shaping, so that there was no need to carry out human martyrdom, and thousands of different molds could be made very quickly and easily, so as to achieve the effect of thousands of people and thousands of faces.
The second is that these terracotta warriors and horses do not use molds, and are completely kneaded by hand, if there are many craftsmen used, it can lead to these terracotta warriors and horses out of standardized production, which can also achieve the effect of thousands of people.
So far, no one has been able to give the most definite answer, and Pang Xiaodou has no way to study it......
However, although Qin Shi Huang did not use living figurines, but before that, this special way of human martyrdom was popular for a long time, but if the feudal emperors, princes, and dignitaries died, they did not make a few living figurines to bury themselves, and when they went to hell, you were embarrassed to greet old acquaintances.
On the basis of the living figurines, some more brutal guys have also come up with other means, the focus of this is to prevent tomb robbers, such as: implanting Gu worms in the bodies of living people who will be made into living figurines, or making them take volatile poisons, and even because of environmental factors and other factors, these living figurines have died unjustly, and the yin qi resentment in them has not dissipated for a long time, and corpse transformation has also occurred from time to time...... Wait, wait, if a tomb robber breaks into their tomb and accidentally damages the living figurines, then sorry, you can only go to hell with them.
“……”
Thinking like this, Pang Xiaodou's movements have become much more cautious.
Although the living figurine, which had lost one of its arms, did not seem to be out of the ordinary, no one could be sure if there was only one of the other living figurines that had undergone a corpse, so it was best to be careful.
At the same time, he had already focused his main attention on the funerary goods of this "outer coffin", most of which were neatly placed on the ground, mainly some exquisite clay pots, apparently porcelain had not yet appeared in the time of the tomb owner.
In addition, there are some more gorgeous jade and gold objects, as well as some more spectacular bronze objects, but ...... There was obviously nothing Pang Xiaodou needed here, because there was nothing in his sight that would glow.
"It's not good, it's wet."
Muttering a little disappointed, Pang Xiaodou had no choice but to withdraw from this "hidden coffin" and continue to walk along the passage of the end.
"Click......"
Even Pang Xiaodou didn't notice it.
Just when he was only a few steps away from here, there was a sudden sound in the "outer coffin" behind him, and the surface of a living figurine actually cracked a tiny crack.
And along this tiny slit......
"Drip-yo-yo-yo ......"
A murky yellow liquid flowed out like water from a spring, and soon soaked the dusty ground, and in a short time a large pool had flowed.
After a while, the water began to gradually decrease.
"Click...... Click......"
The sound gradually became denser, and the small opening on the living figurines was gradually expanding.
Ten centimeters!
Twenty centimeters!
Forty centimeters!
All the way to the end.
"Boom!"
A slightly louder voice sounded, and the living figurine actually burst open, a large amount of turbid yellow liquid splashed all over the ground, and a full-bodied figure also fell from the living figurine.
Although the figure's body is covered with gauze like a mummy, it still has black hair about half a meter long on its head at this time, very dense and has no signs of falling off, and its body is not as shriveled and thin as a mummy, its skin is still shiny, and even its muscle texture can be clearly seen through those parts, and most importantly, you can judge it according to some notable features in its body shape...... No, no, no, it should be called "she", and she has a body that is almost identical to that of a living female human.
The moment she fell to the ground, she stayed quietly for a while, looking like she was just an ancient corpse.
But after a few minutes, her legs suddenly trembled, followed by her arms, and her neck...... After a few more minutes, she actually stood up crookedly, and walked hobbled out of the "outer coffin"!
If someone sees this scene, they will definitely be scared of their legs!
Because, her face was only the same brown color as the turbid yellow liquid that flowed from the living figurine, and although her eyes were open, there were only terrifying whites of her eyes, and when she came into contact with the air, her body, which was originally a little swollen, was constantly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, so that the gauze that had been wrapped around her body also became loose and loose......
This thing...... It is absolutely impossible to be a living person!
……
On the other side, Pang Xiaodou had already come out of another "outer coffin" opposite, but there were no living figurines in this "outer coffin", and it was not completely without harvest.
However, the harvest was not very large, and a total of three pieces of equipment were found: one of them was a silver-quality weapon, and two were gold-quality equipment.
It's sure to sell for a little money, but compared to the previous mysterious tombs, the harvest here is a little less than satisfactory.
"Now is the time to go inside the main burial chamber and take a look, I hope I won't be disappointed too much......
On the way to this "outer coffin" just now, he had already passed by the passage leading to the main tomb, and now he was already familiar with it.
