Chapter 43: The Secret of the Palace of Baten
It turned out that the voice came from the Qin bricks.
The so-called Qin bricks actually do not refer to the bricks used in the Qin Dynasty, but to the special production techniques of bricks and stones in the Qin Dynasty.
There has been a record of Qin bricks in ancient books, saying that they have a sound when they are knocked and broken without holes.
The reason for this saying is that the Qin bricks are delicate and dense, and after knocking, the sound of gold and stone will come out of them, and if they are broken, you will find that there is not a trace of gap in the bricks.
Although we have not seen the appearance of this Qin brick after it is broken, it seems that the so-called knocking sound has been confirmed.
After hearing my explanation, Qi Zhi knew that there was nothing unclean here, so she completely relieved herself and sat on the ground without an image, her expression full of relaxation.
However, when she casually raised her head, she noticed that there was something wrong with my expression.
Although we had confirmed the source of the voice, there was no hint of relief on my face, but a frown of puzzled.
Qi Zhi looked at me with a curious face, and couldn't help but lean over to my side and ask.
"Brother Chuan, since the weird sound I heard is because of the special material of Qin bricks, it proves that we haven't encountered anything strange, this should obviously be happy, but why don't you look so happy?"
I habitually rubbed Qi Zhi's little head, smiled wryly at her and shook my head.
"It is precisely because I found out that the sound here is related to Qin bricks, so I have new doubts."
I squatted on the ground again, and at the same time motioned to Qi Zhi to look at the ground under our feet seriously, although Tongtian Palace has been buried underground for thousands of years, but there is not a trace of dilapidation here, the Qin bricks under my feet are very regular and not messy, and the texture is still hard and not half loose when stepping on it.
Even though it has been a thousand years, we can still clearly distinguish this Qin brick, the Qin brick under the foot is of moderate size, and it is engraved with the ornament of the intersection of two dragons, if it is placed in the Qin Dynasty, this is only the emperor can walk on the noble ornament.
The Qin bricks in front of you are well preserved, the ornamental composition is meticulous, the carving is delicate and extraordinary, but there is no sign of decay after thousands of years of vicissitudes, and the quality of this Qin brick can be seen from this.
Then I tapped my fingers on it again, signaling Qi Zhi to listen carefully to the sound coming from the brick, the sound was crisp, not half dull, if it was placed on the desk, it could even be used as a musical instrument, which made people have to sigh at the ingenuity of the ancients.
Seeing Qi Zhi's dazed look, I slowly opened my mouth and talked about why I was confused.
As the founder of the Chinese Dynasty, he is not different from the emperors of later generations, the Qin people pay special attention to utilitarian results, rather than blind gorgeous exaggeration, the quaint Qin brick in front of him is the most favorable evidence for this.
Qin brick texture is hard, well-made, the technique is exquisite, knocking it has a sound and breaking without holes, its specific production method has long been lost, and it is recorded in historical materials that only the Qin Dynasty has appeared.
But now that we have discovered that this place is paved with Qin bricks, the new problem is also obvious.
There is no doubt that this Vientiane Shrine was built in the Tang Dynasty.
Whether it is from the clues we have found along the way, or from the sights of the gods that we have seen with our own eyes on the periphery, this conclusion can be confirmed.
However, the Qin bricks in front of you are a product of the Qin Dynasty, which was more than 800 years earlier than the Tang Dynasty, and the production techniques of Qin bricks have long been lost with time.
Since the construction of Tongtian Palace was only started during the Tang Dynasty, how could there be Qin bricks made by people only 800 years ago here?
Before we know it, we seem to have touched on the blind spot of history again.
After I spit out all the doubts in my heart, Qi Zhi on the side finally understood the hidden meaning of Qin Brick's appearance here, she looked at Qin Brick under our feet in amazement, not knowing what to say.
Seeing Qi Zhi's reaction, I set aside time for her to slowly digest and adapt, and then stood up and looked around, the vague suspicion in my heart before finally had an answer.
When I first stepped into the Tongtian Palace, I was puzzled, the overall construction style of this floor is a little strange, and after careful inspection, it is not difficult to find that the construction style of this Tongtian Palace is incompatible with the first floor, making people feel like two worlds.
If the first floor of the Taimur Hall looks noble and gorgeous, full of royal style, then the first impression of this Tongtian Palace is majestic and rude, simple atmosphere, so that the people who come have a kind of heartfelt awe.
After seeing this brick, I finally realized.
In the Tai Room Hall that we have explored, all the arrangements in it reflect the style of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the most satisfying scene of the divine capital in Wu Zetian's heart.
But this is not the case with all the arrangements in this Tongtian Palace.
This layer looks simple and vicissitudes, magnificent, although there is no half of flashy decoration, but it is like returning to the basics, from which you can clearly feel a strong sense of historical precipitation, which makes people unconsciously awe from the bottom of their hearts.
And if what I expected is right, there is actually only one reason why there is such a big gap between the two layers.
That is the Tongtian Palace where we are now, but it was not actually built for Wu Zetian.
There is no other reason, but because the arrangement in this layer shows everywhere the style of the first dynasty that dominated the world thousands of years ago.
Qin Dynasty.
What this Tongtian Palace shows is the style of Qiang Qin!
After hearing my further speculation, Qi Zhi's mouth, which was already unclosing, seemed to open wider, and she began to stutter a little because of the shock.
"Brother Chuan, you ...... Do you mean that this place does not belong to Wu Zetian? ”
I nodded, my heart just as shocked, but unusually firm.
"I had doubts before, the history books record that Wu Zetian has always loved high-rise buildings, and I think that even if she returns to the sky, she will definitely sleep herself in the highest place here.
However, this Vientiane Divine Palace has three floors, and after the test of many mechanisms, we found that Wu Zetian, as a generation of empresses, was only buried in the first floor of the palace of the Tai Chamber, which is not normal, I thought about it and found that there was only one explanation. ”
Qi Zhi heard my firm tone and knew that I already had my own answer, and asked in the same way.
"Brother Chuan, what is the truth in your mouth?"
I took a deep breath and looked at the Martial Empress Dragon Body that was still sleeping on the first floor.
"Because she doesn't have the qualifications!" Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
