Chapter 601: The Living Figurines

After confirming the form of the tomb, Pang Xiaodou no longer worries about the question of whether to go left or right. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because under normal circumstances, the scale of the "yellow intestine inscription" is not very large, and at the same time, an extremely regular "medium" shaped tomb structure will be adopted.

The so-called "middle" shaped tomb structure, to put it bluntly, is the north and south two entrances, one in front and one in the back, and the back of the tomb is surrounded by a circle of box-shaped corridors.

The fact that he could not enter the tomb now only means that the passage he entered was the end of the tomb, and he could enter it smoothly by going around the front......

"Men on the left and women on the right, then I'll go to the right."

There was no pressure at all, Pang Xiaodou took a path that was contrary to his gender very casually, because there was really nothing to choose from in this kind of tomb structure, and they all ended up in the same way...... As for the so-called "male left, female right" theory, it is just a casual remark by him, and he has no intention of following it at all.

Besides, even if he turned to the entrance in front of him, he still had to go around the left passage again before entering.

Because it has been said before, the "yellow intestine inscription" is generally composed of four important parts: the Zigong Palace, the toilet room, the outer coffin, and the golden jade clothes.

"Zi Palace" is actually the coffin of the tomb owner, and the "golden jade clothes" must be buried in the coffin with the tomb owner's corpse, so there is no need to say more about these two things, according to Pang Xiaodou's habits, it is absolutely necessary to leave the candle at the end before doing it.

As for the "bedchamber", the front end of the only main burial chamber, which is used for the rest of the soul of the tomb owner, is usually very ornately furnished, and usually places some things that the tomb owner used during his lifetime, such as tableware, musical instruments, weapons, etc......

In fact, it is the "outer coffin", to put it bluntly, the "outer coffin" is the place where the funeral goods are stored, the name is different, and the popular saying is also called the "cluster burial pit", these funeral goods are small to gold, silver and jewelry, and large to the burial of people or war horses, chariots are possible, which completely depends on the financial resources and temperament of the tomb owner.

The location of the "outer coffin" should be distributed near the passage on both sides, and in order to form pairs to show perfection, usually one will be set on the east and west sides.

Since it is a place to store the funeral goods, Pang Xiaodou will naturally not let it go.

So, along the passage on the right, he slowly touched forward, and after a corner, he found a "hidden coffin" after a few steps!

It is located on the outside of the entire tomb and the passage, it is the same as the previous passage, and it does not use the material of the "yellow intestine inscription", but the entrance of this "outer coffin" is not very large, and Pang Xiaodou needs to bend down to barely get in.

So Pang Xiaodou did just that.

After drilling into it, the space suddenly opened up, with an area of 20 square meters and a height of about 2 meters, Pang Xiaodou stood up straight and didn't have to worry about hitting his head.

But he had just straightened up......

"I'll go!?"

Pang Xiaodou was suddenly startled again, and almost threw away the torch in his hand!

It's not that he's timid, but that the picture is too terrifying, plus the door of the "outer coffin" is too low, and he can't see the specific situation inside at all, and he doesn't have the slightest psychological defense.

I saw a hand sticking out of the wall, and the five fingers kept the shape of grasping, and the whole arm was abruptly across his nose...... When he straightened up, his head didn't hit this arm, which was also his luck, but when he thought about it, the top of his head was almost rubbing this arm!

Fortunately, Pang Xiaodou soon calmed down.

Because he found that this arm was actually not a real person's arm, judging from the surface texture, it should be a terracotta figurine, that is, something similar to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, but it was coated with a layer of flesh-colored paint.

Probably because of the age, there are already traces of cracks on this layer of paint.

"But ......"

In the next second, Pang Xiaodou felt that something was wrong again, and he hurriedly looked at the wall along this arm.

"Your sister!!"

At this glance, Pang Xiaodou couldn't help but scream again.

I saw a person leaning against the wall connected to this arm!

And this person's eyes are open and round at the moment, revealing a strange aura, just staring at him like this!

However, with his previous experience, Pang Xiaodou was not really frightened this time, he calmed down and carefully looked at the person leaning against the wall, which was also a painted terracotta figurine, but it was very realistic, especially the eyes, which were painted to be expressive.

Half of the figurine's body was still inside the wall, but half of its body was protruding from the wall, like a person trying to break out of the wall, trying to open its mouth and lean forward......

"It's so realistic, ...... cow"

Halfway through speaking, Pang Xiaodou couldn't go on, and when he came back to look at other places, he found that the walls inside the entire "outer coffin" were all such terracotta figurines, although they had different postures and different demeanors, but they all showed a painful appearance of struggling from the wall to the outside of the wall, each more realistic than the other!

And just a few paces away from him, there was another arm that also came out of the wall, but for some unknown reason, this arm had been broken at the elbow.

Pang Xiaodou saw the half of his arm that fell to the ground on the ground......

In addition to the pottery fragments that had been shattered, he actually saw in them the dry bones of a whole arm of the same length that had fallen off from the elbow joint!

“……”

Immediately after, Pang Xiaodou looked up at the severed arm that was still attached to the wall.

Sure enough, it was hollow, and one of the dry bones had been exposed, and a piece of gauze was wrapped around it......

"I'll go, the terracotta figurines built on the wall are all living figurines, no wonder they are so realistic!"

Pang Xiaodou understood everything in an instant.

The so-called living figurines are actually a very cruel burial process, if you briefly introduce it, the method is to control the person who is going to be buried, and then wrap it in gauze, and then completely seal it with clay, and then put it in the kiln to bake, and then paint it after completion.

This was mainly prevalent in a time when pottery was not so advanced.

In the Celestial Empire, the most famous pottery should be the martyrdom of Qin Shi Huang's terracotta warriors, Qin Shi Huang's brutal nature, since he can do such a thing as burning books and pit Confucianism, then these terracotta warriors and horses are thousands of faces, and each is lifelike, are they also living figurines?
