Immortal Mystery Chapter 21 Into the Mountain

The next day, we set off from Wangu early in the morning and spent more than an hour outside the Hidden Fog Mountain.

Hidden Fog Mountain, the mountain is as its name suggests. Still far away, I saw that the fog in the mountains was clear, as if it was shrouded in a large cloud of boundless water vapor, stretching for hundreds of miles.

Entering the mountains, the two or three miles of mountain roads were easy to walk at first, but gradually they began to become rugged and difficult to walk. And I heard Peng Lian say that if you go further, although there is still water, you can't see the green, everywhere is bare, and there are only patches of woods just after entering the mountain.

As we gradually went deeper into the mountains, the fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker. Originally, it was only a thin layer of fog when entering the mountain, but now it is like pulling a curtain in front of you, and the visibility will never exceed thirty meters.

"Poor ghost, didn't you say there is no dragon vein here? How can there be such a mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles? "The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the altar is also one foot deep and one foot shallow, and he asked me out of breath.

"When did I say there are no mountains here?" I asked the jar rhetorically.

Tanzi immediately became unconvinced: "It was you who said before, by the way, and Professor Jin, you said that there is nothing to do here." Didn't you also say that the dry dragon is the so-called mountain range? ”

"Then if you look at the map of China as a whole, do you think this mountain, which is less than forty kilometers long, can be regarded as a dry dragon?" I asked the jar.

The "uh......" jar is a little stuck.

"Those large mountain ranges we see on the map are hundreds of kilometers at every turn, and even thousands of kilometers long, compared to these dry dragons, can this Hidden Fog Mountain still be regarded as a dry dragon?" I said, "It's just a little branch." The so-called dry dragon and branch dragon are actually relative, and it can be called a dry dragon for the branch veins of the Hidden Fog Mountain. When I say there are no dry dragons here, I mean there are no large mountain ranges, do you understand? ”

"Ao~" The jar seems to understand.

"Hey, what the hell do you think this Luo Palace is?" The altar then asked me.

"What do you mean?" I didn't understand what the altar was saying, so I asked him.

"You said that Xu Fu built a palace here for no reason, and he didn't use it, and he never heard that someone else used it, so what do you say this palace is for? It can't be a tomb, right? The jar guessed.

Professor Jin, who was walking next to us, heard these words, so he said, "What does Xiao Zhou mean is that this Luo Palace is actually a mausoleum?" ”

The jar nodded heavily: "I guess so." ”

Professor Jin said to himself with doubts: "But at that time, the construction of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang had already begun, so who was it for to build another mausoleum here?" ”

"King Luo's Palace, King Luo's Palace, of course it's for King Luo!" Jar said.

"But who is this King Luo?" Professor Jin asked Tanzi.

The jar suddenly stopped: "That...... How do I know this? ”

"Professor Jin, do you mean that it is unlikely that there will be a large tomb from the Qin Dynasty here?" I asked.

Professor Jin shook his head: "Building a tomb in this mountain is indeed different from the style of tomb construction during the Qin Dynasty. ”

"What's the difference? Tell us about it? The altar was interested and asked Professor Jin for advice.

"Yes, I don't know when I'll find it anyway, Lao Jin, you can tell everyone, this is also the time to show your profound knowledge." Uncle Xu said with a smile in front.

Professor Jin also smiled: "I don't want to be accused of selling knowledge. ”

"It's not about showmanship, it's not about showmanship, it's about spreading knowledge, spreading knowledge. You have always told us about it, and let us all learn about this archaeological culture. The altar hurriedly picked up the sound.

"Then I'll just say it! However, if you want to know the characteristics of the tombs during the Qin Dynasty, you have to make a comparison, anyway, it takes a long time, so let's start slowly! Professor Jin cleared his throat and began to tell us about some large tombs.

"'Burner, Zangya!' In fact, as early as 18,000 years ago, there were tombs in the era of the cave people on the top of the mountain, and at that time there were not only tombs, but also burial goods......"

"Huh? The tombs of the cave people on the top of the mountain still have burial goods, must they all be stones and tiles? Even if this kind of tomb is dug up, it is not interesting. Jar said.

"There are no tiles, it's Paleolithic." Professor Jin smiled: "And even stone tools are used for production and life, and it is not easy to make, how can it be used for burial." I'm talking about burial goods that are nothing more than hematite powder. However, with the development of the productive forces and the emergence of surplus labor products, there began to be a huge gap between the rich and the poor. In the tombs of some wealthy people, funerary goods were also abundant. ”

The jar muttered in my ear: "Stone Age, no matter how rich it is, it doesn't have much to do!" ”

Professor Jin did not hear what Tan Zi said, and continued: "By the time of the Xia Shang Zhou period, the traditional thinking of the Chinese already had the concept of 'death is like life, and death is like survival'. At that time, most of the tombs were earthen tombs, and the burial goods were replaced by valuables of the deceased. It was also from that time that the burial began. Among the large tombs of the Zhou Dynasty, the more common is the Ding. Because the Zhou Dynasty had the so-called 'Lieding', 'Nine Dings of the Son of Heaven, Seven Princes, Five Doctors, and Three Yuan Scholars', all classes must not transgress according to this etiquette system. Of course, in the Western Weekend Period, it entered an era of 'etiquette collapse and happiness', and the princes of the world rose together, so no one strictly followed this 'Lieding' system, and even seven tripods appeared in the doctor's tomb, reaching the standard of the princes. ”

"Since the Warring States period, there have been cemeteries. In the Qin and Han dynasties after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the tombs were even more luxurious. I don't need to say much about the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, right? Professor Jin said, "Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the situation of tombs has begun to be unified, and there are tomb roads, burial chambers and murals. The tombs of the nobles of the Han Dynasty began to be built by chiseling mountains, especially for the royal family. There are many characteristics of the construction and burial of tombs in the Han Dynasty, and the most famous ones in the Han Dynasty are probably the golden jade clothes and yellow intestines. ”

"Yellow intestine problem? What's that? "The jar has never heard of this yellow intestine question.

"In fact, the so-called 'yellow intestine inscription' is simply a wooden wall placed outside the coffin with yellow heart cypress. However, because the 'yellow intestine inscription' was a coffin room that only the emperor could use in the Qin and Han dynasties, it was the highest level, and of course there were ministers who were specially approved by the emperor to use it, and it was rare to receive this honor. Professor Jin explained, "After the Qin and Han dynasties, it was the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Due to the division of political power, frequent alternation, and difficult people's livelihood, the trend of tomb robbery became more and more popular, so the princes and princes at that time changed the style of thick burials after the Han Dynasty and advocated thin burials, so there were not many burial goods in the tombs of that period. ”
