Chapter 237: The Giant Stone Statue
The second mural depicts a huge palace with a variety of figures, but most of them are dressed in different costumes, some in long robes, others in tiger skins, and half of their bodies.
The last one depicts the scene of an emperor ascending the throne, it seems that the emperor who ascended the throne is the military general in the first mural before, and the civil and military officials behind him bow their heads and bow, and the scale is very grand.
Seeing this, I couldn't help frowning, pointed to the characters on the first mural, and said, "First year of junior high school, you look at the soldiers behind the general, there seems to be something wrong with the costumes. Wang Chu looked at it, nodded and said, "It's not the clothes of the Central Plains, it should be barbarians, Turks and other peoples." ”
Wang Chuyi's thoughts are the same as mine, I carefully recalled the structure of the entire tomb, although after coming in, most of them are retro buildings, and there are corridors with cornices and corners, but on the whole, the layout of this tomb is very similar to the tents used by the Turks when they marched and fought, especially the underground palace where we are now, and it is an oval structure, similar in shape to a Mongolian tent.
Seeing this, I vaguely had some eyebrows, looked at Wang Chuyi and said, "This is not an emperor's tomb. ”
Wang Chuyi frowned, looked at me, and asked, "What do you see?" ”
I nodded and said, "This is indeed a king's tomb, the specifications should not be much different from the emperor's tomb, but it is not an emperor's tomb, because the owner of this tomb is not called the emperor, and the enthronement ceremony depicted on the mural is actually a fictional picture, which can also be said to be imaginary by the tomb owner, and does not exist." ”
Wang Chuyi looked at the mural thoughtfully and asked, "How do you know?" ”
I pointed to the characters in the mural and said, "It can be seen from the costumes that these people are not people from the Central Plains, that is, we often say barbarians, Turkic people, cut from the age, this tomb has a history of thousands of years, and there are people in the tomb who looked at the martyrdom, we all know that the custom of this person martyrdom began in the Yin Shang period and ended in the Zhou Dynasty, so the age of this tomb should be in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it will not be too far away." ”
Wang Chu nodded and motioned for me to continue.
I continued, "We are located in the Kunlun Mountains, at the junction of Xinjiang, Tibet, and Qinghai provinces, long before the Yin Shang, the ancestors of the Qiang people, Sanmiao, migrated from the Jianghan to Qinghai, living in pursuit of water and grass, mainly hunting and nomadism. When the Shang Dynasty arrived in the Zhou and Qin dynasties, Qinghai was called "Xirong Diqiang Land". As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qiang people were able to make copper weapons such as ge, knives, and arrowheads. ”
At this time, Huzi had already circled the underground palace for a week, came to us, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wang Chuyi waving his hand, and after I finished speaking, Huzi opened his mouth and asked, "Lao Bai, do you mean that this tomb is not the emperor Lao Tzu?" Is it the tomb of the Qiang people? ”
I nodded and said, "Although it is not an emperor's tomb, the specifications of this tomb are not worse than the emperor's tomb at all, as far as I know, during the Warring States Period, there was a tribe here, known as Xiqiang in history, and the leader of the Xiqiang people was called "Hao", "Chief", "Rong Wang", and was the ruler of the tribe at that time. The king of the West Qiang Rong continued to drive his people to expand outward, and at that time it was also regarded as a hegemon, but they were fighting for people, livestock, and pastureland, the Qiang people were good at riding and shooting, and the cavalry was especially good at fighting, because the Qiang people were mostly nomadic tribes, and the war horses were fierce, but whenever they went to war, the cavalry was often tens of thousands, swept the battlefield, opened up the territory, and dominated for a while. ”
After listening to me, Huzi slurred his lips and said, "Oh, I said Lao Bai, you said that this tomb is the tomb of the king of Xiqiangrong?" ”
I nodded, "Looks like it should be." ”
"This tomb of King Xiqiangrong is higher than the specifications of the emperor's tomb?"
Wang Chuyi was a little impatient, glared at Huzi, and said, "Yes, yes, there are more treasures!" Got it? ”
Huzi grinned and said, "Hehe, understood, understood." ”
At this time, I made a difficulty, carefully looked at the underground palace in front of me, the ancient books of the seventh master, recorded a lot of experience in the ancient tombs, but most of them are the ancient tombs of the Central Plains Dynasty, the tomb of the barbarian Qiang people, but there has never been a record, and I don't know what kind of organ will appear, what kind of ban will be set, this Qiang can be said to be among the Chinese minorities, the most mysterious one, there are all kinds of myths and legends among the people, there are many branches of the Qiang people, many Qiang people will have some evil arts, and most of them are very yin, Once the enemy comes, those evil spells of the yin owl will always make the enemy return with a feather.
I told Wang Chuyi and Huzi about my worries, and after they heard what I said, they also became solemn, especially Huzi, who seemed to be very serious, I looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, Huzi is always very grinning on weekdays, once this expression appears, it is generally in trouble, so I quickly asked, "Huzi, what's wrong?" Are you messing around with something again? ”
Huzi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, absolutely nothing!" But I looked around in this dungeon, and I didn't find a coffin. ”
When Wang Chu and I heard it, we were both stunned, and said in our hearts that it shouldn't be, how could there be no coffins in such a big underground palace?
Huzi was a little frustrated, and said, "Are the coffins in this ancient tomb all in the mountain stone cave we saw just now?" ”
Wang Chuyi shook his head and said, "Absolutely not, those who may just be officials or generals who the owner of the tomb appreciated during his lifetime, the coffin of the main tomb will never be there." ”
I picked up my flashlight and walked forward, saying, "Look for it again!" "The walls of this dungeon are very high, standing on the ground can hardly see the top of the dungeon, after going around the dungeon for a week, I found that there are a lot of weapons piled up around the dungeon, there are longbows and crossbows, there are also swords, guns, swords, halberds, and more are the skulls of some cattle and sheep, stacked in a pile of seven or eight meters high, which looks very spectacular.
Huzi shook his head as he walked, and said, "What the hell is the king of Xiqiangrong, a guy who only knows how to graze, you see that in this underground palace, there are bones of cattle and sheep everywhere, and there is nothing valuable." As he spoke, Huzi took out a long sword from the weapon rack, and after waving it twice in his hand, he only heard a click, and the body of the long sword was already weak due to perennial corrosion, but when Huzi swung it, it was shattered.
Hu Zi angrily threw the hilt of the sword aside, and then said, "Damn, none of these weapons can be taken out." ”
Huzi complained and followed behind me, and we checked the entire underground palace again, and found that in addition to a dozen or so tall animal bones, there were some scattered weapon racks, and only the stone statue in the middle looked extremely powerful.
