Chapter 53: The Ultimate Project
The appearance of the mural of living people made this ancient tomb even more confusing, and I and my beard were shocked.
On the surface, this is a narrative painting, and the content on the painting seems to be a huge project. I didn't know about the artifacts and couldn't study the value of the murals, but my curiosity drove me to look at them closely.
First of all, there are many unclothed slaves digging rocks in a huge mine, of course, there are not many living corpses used here, only a dozen, but the painters are highly skilled, and they make many virtual shadows at different angles on the murals, giving people the feeling that there are many people.
Then people moved the excavated stone to several other spacious stone chambers, began to carve and shape, and then moved out of the ground and loaded into trucks, the only thing these murals have in common is that the slaves are painted with living corpses, and there are many officers and soldiers to supervise, it is conceivable that this should be an official project, but those officers and soldiers are carved, not human corpses.
Outside the quarry is a jungle, and many trees can be seen to be cut down to the side, clearing except for a road. The stones loaded onto the carriage were carried away by the army, and the military flag fluttered fiercely, and there was a seal on it - Qin.
The beard hissed: "Qin! Could it be that this is the scene of Qin Shi Huang building the Great Wall? ”
I shook my head, pointed to the background of the painting, and said, "Look, does this picture look familiar?" This terrain is too similar to Erlong Mountain! "Then I remembered the engineering mural I saw before, and I thought to myself, no, that mural depicts the army transporting stones from here, why are these murals depicting stones from here to the outside?
Hu Zi looked at it carefully for a while and nodded: "That's right, although the trees on it are more lush than now, it can still be seen that it is indeed Erlong Mountain." ”
I wondered, if this project was during the Qin Dynasty, when this area was the territory of ethnic minorities, how could they come here to quarry?
Beard pointed to the next mural and said, "Look here! ”
I followed the beard's gaze and saw that it was a mural of a war scene, two armies fighting each other, Qin Dynasty horsemen on one side and natives on the other, and behind the army were horse-drawn wagons carrying stones.
I understood that these Qin soldiers must have encountered the local natives on the way to transport the stones, and there was a conflict. I thought that when I saw the mural of the stone to this place before, it may be that the Qin army was defeated and sent the stone back, but the content of the mural after negated my speculation, and it can be seen that the local natives were defeated by the Qin iron cavalry with super combat effectiveness, and fled in all directions, and the Qin soldiers began to organize the convoy and continue to move forward.
After high mountains, jungles and deserts, the convoy came to a huge construction site, and many slaves began to unload stones.
I and the beard were shocked again, the construction site is densely packed with people, and the painter in order to highlight the vastness of the project, the figure is painted as small as ants, according to the proportion of the figure and the project, the construction site can not be described as huge at all, the scene is simply messy, this mess is not caused by the painter, but the construction site is simply large to the extreme, there are so many workers and equipment in it, the painter can't paint it anyway, so the more you paint, the more chaotic it feels, it is this kind of mess, It reflects the greatness of this project, which can be called the ultimate.
I recalled several major projects of the Qin Dynasty, except for the Great Wall here, and my heartbeat began to intensify when I thought about it, could this project be Afang Palace! But it doesn't look like it, because this project is obviously carried out under the ground, and the depth of the giant pit should be tens of meters, and Afang Palace is a building on the ground, even if the foundation is laid, there is no need to dig so deep!
As soon as the beard slapped his head, he said: "I'll drop a grandma, this is not the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor!" ”
I was stunned and a little unconvinced, so I asked you how do you know? Don't say you've even stolen the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
Hu Zi cut off: "Hu Ye doesn't have that ability, don't say it's me, even the previous dynasties and dynasties don't dare to hit the idea of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, you see here, I judge that this is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor according to him." ”
I followed my bearded fingers and looked up, and I saw a wooden platform directly north of the project, on which sat a middle-aged man who was drinking, this person was taller than the others and very carefully, it seemed that this person was of unusual status.
Hu Zi said proudly: "You can see his identity at a glance from this guy's official uniform, guess who?" ”
I gave him a blank look, and suddenly remembered someone, so I looked at the beard and blurted out: "Li Si!" ”
The beard nodded: "That's right, count you kid smart." This person is wearing the official uniform of the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and it is definitely Li Si. It is said that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was designed and supervised by Li Si, and Li Si alone went to the construction site above 10,000 people, which means that this construction site is undoubtedly the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. ”
I nodded, so this is not an ancient tomb, but an underground stone mine that provides stone for the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang! But what kind of stone mine is so precious that Qin Shi Huang sent troops to venture here to dig it?
Scratching his scalp, he pointed to the crystal embedded in the mural and said, "It's probably a crystal mine." ”
I thought to myself that it is right, from the scale of the crystal here can be imagined, it is said that Qin Shi Huang was extremely poor and luxurious, and the treasures of the world in his imperial tomb are endless, and it seems that it is reasonable for him to mine crystal mines. But one thing I don't understand, since this is a mining site, why build it into an ancient tomb? And there are so many traps designed inside, these don't seem necessary, huh?
"It doesn't matter if it's necessary or not." Hu Zi said: "Since this place is designed as a cemetery, there must be a reason to build it, we are not archaeological, it is useless to think about these questions, I want to see who is buried here." With that, he went inside.
As soon as I thought about it, I hurried to keep up with the beard, I wanted to see what the scene was after the completion of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but it was very disappointing, since this mural, the engineering drawings are gone, it seems that when the owner of this tomb was buried, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was only repaired to that stage. Next is the tomb figurines embedded in the crystal wall. Saying that it is a figurine, it is actually a dead corpse, these dead corpses are painted with oil paint, and the painful state at the time of death makes people shudder.
Countless corpse version of the tomb figurines are arranged and inlaid in the crystal walls on both walls, giving people a very strange feeling, just like walking in the corridor of the horror wax museum, facing by many hideous faces, staring at countless pairs of bulging and angry eyes, it feels like suffocating!
I wanted to pretend that nothing happened, in order to restrain my fear, but people are like this, when there is something terrible around you, you can never help but want to look at it, even if I gritted my teeth and forced myself not to turn my head, but the afterglow of my eyes still unconsciously looked to both sides, suddenly, I noticed that a tomb figurine on the left moved, and suddenly my legs were a little weak, I thought there was a hallucination, and when I looked closely, my hair stood up.
I yelled at Beard to come over, and Beard turned his head to see that I was almost paralyzed, and hurriedly ran over to ask me what was the matter, and I pointed to one of the tomb figurines, and it didn't say anything for several times.
The beard glanced at it, shouted "it", and immediately raised his gun and aimed it at the town tomb figurine.
The town tomb figurines are different from others, the whole body is in tatters, the face is covered with blood, and it is still moving, waving his hands and constantly beating the crystal wall, it seems that this guy is going to break through the wall, and his hideous expression is even more terrifying than his mother's tomb figurines, the mouth is one by one, and the teeth are also dripping with blood, but fortunately, the sound insulation effect of this crystal wall is particularly good, and his terrible roar cannot be heard.
The beard sweated a lot, and said in a low voice: "You kid is a little better, this guy is a Qin Dynasty zongzi, it's rare to see, don't patronize and be afraid." ”
I knew that Hu Zi was comforting me not to be afraid, and I thought that no matter how I said it, Lao Tzu had also seen a corpse mutation, not bad this time, but seeing that this guy was even more fierce than the previous ones, he said: "Boss, while this guy hasn't come out yet, let's flash quickly." ”
Hu Zi hummed and said, "I'll stare at him, you slowly walk into the corridor, let's retreat together." ”
I nodded, and was just about to take a step, when the beard suddenly said, "Wait! Didn't you notice, why is this guy a little familiar? ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became angry, and yelled that you don't say that it is your relatives inside, you look at him like that, even if it is your relative, he is the master of the six relatives who do not recognize.
The beard pulled me over: "You kid take a closer look, I will see that he is familiar, and you know him, that is, among you." ”
I saw that Hu Zi was very serious, so I looked at it carefully, and thought to myself, Hu Zi said that he knew him, and I knew him, how long have I known Hu Zi? I can't know people he knows, could he be talking about glasses on them?
Thinking of this, I took a breath and hurriedly went up and looked at it for a long time, and the guy covered in blood knocked desperately on the crystal wall, glaring at us, and his eyes were about to burst out.
I looked at his eyes and suddenly shouted, "Thunder! ”
