116. Bronze culture

Sheng Shiyao strode towards me, dragged me back, and after his eyes swept over me and saw that nothing was wrong, he reprimanded: "Don't touch anything easily, it may trigger the mechanism at any time." Only then did he turn his gaze and immediately frown.

I know that he also saw that the stone slab was engraved with Huang Xingyuan's secret technique, and the flashlight light was shining on it, lingering in the cracks, and his eyes flashed with deep thought. Listen to him whisper: "Don't worry about this for now, wait a minute, follow me, don't act alone." As he spoke, he pulled me back to Zhou Tong's place, and found that the stone coffin had been completely pushed open by them, and inside was a very ornate coffin.

The coffin, that is, the coffin and the set of coffins, indicate the dignity of the deceased. The wooden coffin appeared in the Yangshao culture period of the Neolithic Age in China, and the wooden coffin appeared in the Longshan culture and was used for the leader of the clan.

The one in front of me is carved with a dragon horn in mahogany, and the patterns on it are also extremely fine, which shows the nobility of the identity of the tomb owner. A gold medal hung next to the coffin, which was strung into the wooden coffin with gold thread. I may not know much about other words, but the word "Zhuang" is recognized, and then look at the shape of the word behind it to guess, I can't help but be shocked, this gold medal is carved is actually the name of Zhuang Ji, the ancestor of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

I stared at the coffin inquiringly, could it be that this was Zhuang Ji? But...... But haven't the tombs of the ancient Dian kings been unearthed? How could it be here? Even if Zhuang Yu was the last king of Dian in his previous life, it is impossible for him to be so powerful as to move the remains of the ancient tomb that have been listed as national cultural relics here.

Intuitively looked at Sheng Shiyao, and saw that his eyes were also fixed on the gold medal, he had the memory of a wizard, that is, this Zhuang Ji's descendant, would he open the coffin that might be his ancestor? Just as I was thinking, he had already stepped forward and lifted the lid of the coffin, revealing the ebony coffin inside. From the stone coffin to the wooden coffin, and then to the real coffin, the tombs of the ancients can be described as complex and grand, but I thought that if this was the first king of Dian, he should also have this honor.

Sheng Shiyao didn't hesitate too much and reached out to push the lid of the coffin, but Zhou Tong suddenly shouted: "Wait! Brother Yao, do you want to make any preparations, in case there is a thousand-year-old zombie or something like that, it won't be fun. We don't have any weapons at hand, and the explosives have been used up before, and legend has it that many of these ancient corpses are corpses and the like, which is very powerful......"

Speaking of which, he became quieter and quieter, because Sheng Shiyao's eyes were gloomy and gloomy when he looked at him, and he was a little angry. I have the urge to wipe my sweat, and Zhou Tong didn't know that the "thousand-year-old zombie" or "corpse" he was talking about was probably Sheng Shiyao's ancestor. It's just that what he said is not unreasonable, ten stone coffins are arranged in rows, and the lights are dim and difficult to distinguish, and the atmosphere is eerie enough. If you open the ebony coffin and something terrible really comes out of it, it will be really difficult to deal with.

But Sheng Shiyao seemed to be uncharacteristically obstinate, and ignored Zhou Tong's persuasion, and went straight to push the coffin lid. We all held our breath and stared at the place, and when the lid was fully pushed aside, the imaginary horror had not happened, but it was impossible to see inside because the room was dark and the inside of the coffin was pitch black. I only saw Sheng Shiyao shining a flashlight on it, and then it seemed to freeze, standing there motionless.

A few of us, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what happened, Zhou Tong tentatively called: "Brother Yao? He still didn't move, and I couldn't help but call softly: "Sheng Shiyao? After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no response, I couldn't help but take a big step forward, walked to his side, and looked at it with a flashlight, and then ......

"Ahh I exclaimed, staggered backwards, and reached out a large hand from the side to hold me firmly so that I would not fall to the ground. Touching his violently beating heart, he asked in a trembling voice: "Sheng Shiyao, that's ......"

"Figurines." He spat out two words.

Is it fake? The reason why I was so frightened just now was because I saw a complete blue and black corpse lying inside, and I thought in my heart that even if this was really Zhuang Ji's coffin, it would be a white skeleton at most, where would I think it was a blue-faced corpse. But hearing that Sheng Shiyao said that it was a human figurine, he couldn't help but be a little bolder, and moved his eyes to the coffin again, at this time, Zhou Tong and Liuzi also came forward to see, Jian Ningyi only dared to stand behind because he was afraid.

was already a little relieved, but Zhou Tong suddenly said: "Brother Yao, this can't be a living figurine." ”

Directly shocked me again!

Figurines originally refer to idols buried in graves. In ancient times, some people burned living people into terracotta figurines and gave them to the emperor for burial, so they were called living figurines. It is a very brutal burial ritual.

Fortunately, Sheng Shiyao replied: "No, there is no corpse in the coffin. ”

"Then why is it a green face, which looks so terrifying?" When I came to visit just now, his flashlight just happened to gather on the head of the figurine, and although the green face was not fanged, when he saw such an image of the "corpse", he reflexively screamed.

"Because this is a bronze figurine, over time, this place is not sealed, there is air backflow in the space, and the bronze is oxidized, so it looks blue and black."

I see, but suddenly I felt that something was wrong, and I asked suspiciously, "Isn't this bronze figurine 2,000 years old?" ”

Sheng Shiyao didn't say anything, but from the expression on his face, he acquiesced. I didn't have much research on the ancient Dian culture before, but I heard that from the Neolithic Age to the Bronze Age, Yunnan was more than 1,000 years later than other ancient civilizations in the world, and then the Yunnan people developed the bronze culture to the extreme, and the craftsmanship on the bronze ware was lifelike, which amazed future generations. Although there is not much information about the specific location of the ancient Dian Kingdom, according to the research of archaeologists, it should be in the Yunnan area.

It's just that I can't figure it out, how can the bronze figurines more than 2,000 years ago be in Zhuang Yu's hands? Could it be that after he was reincarnated and had the memories of his previous life, he found the grave of his ancestor and dug it up? In this way, the tombs of the Dian kings that have been unearthed are likely to be fake.

Turning my thoughts, I muttered: "Strange, there is a gold medal hanging outside, why is there a bronze figurine for burial in such a luxurious coffin?" ”

"This is not a figurine of a martyr." Sheng Shiyao said in a deep voice, "This is the bronze statue of Zhuang Ji. ”

I was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that he should know Zhuang Ji's face, no wonder he stood here just now, did he also feel shocked? That is to say, this figurine represents Zhuang Ji lying in this large coffin. Looking to the side, what about the rest? Could it be the bronze figurines of the Dian kings of the past dynasties?

"Close it." Sheng Shiyao said lightly.

Zhou Tong and the sixth son said "ah" in unison, Zhou Tong moved his mouth and didn't speak, he put his shoulder on the top of the sixth son, so the sixth son spoke: "Brother Yao, this is a big tomb two thousand years ago, don't you look for what else is in the coffin?" Maybe ......"

"Six sons!" I interrupted him softly, "There's just a bronze figurine here, it's clear at a glance, what's so good-looking, cover it." Zhou Tong interjected: "No, maybe there is something hidden under this figurine, and this bronze figurine alone is so vivid, it should be priceless." ”

I didn't think it was right when I heard this, why did the two of them care so much about the contents of the coffin, remembering that Zhou Tong dug a hole to come to the ice room to save me before, and then contacted what he said, I couldn't help but be suspicious.

After hesitating, Sheng Shiyao said coldly: "Let you close it." The tone seemed to be angry, but he had always been angry, and his face still looked so indifferent, but Zhou Tong and Liuzi had been with him for so many years, and if they didn't understand the situation, they would have lived in vain.

Suddenly, Zhou Tong said "Ahhh ”

A few glances fell at his feet, but he couldn't see clearly because he was blocked by the stone coffin. Sheng Shiyao ordered: "Don't move! He stepped forward and squatted down, carefully examined the flashlight, and saw him reach out and hold the heels of Zhou Tong's shoes with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "I count to three, you raise your feet, and the rest of the people retreat two meters, don't pestle here." ”

After we retreated to a certain distance, before Sheng Shiyao could count them, everyone was short of breath, not knowing what would happen in the next second. Zhou Tong pretended to be pitiful and said to me: "Little sister, today next year, remember to give my brother more paper money and burn more paper money." ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be furious: "Hugh is talking nonsense! ”

He was stunned by my reprimand, and then smiled: "Little sister, you can't stand the joke too much, with Brother Yao here, don't worry, this is a small case, Anla." That being said, I noticed sweat on his forehead and immediately realized that he was actually nervous too, but the atmosphere was too stagnant, and I deliberately joked to relieve it.

In the low-hearted space, I only heard Sheng Shiyao's clear counting voice: "One, two, three......"

Zhou Tong rolled a carp and pounced on us, and we all reflexively squatted down with our heads in our hands, but waited for a second, two seconds, three seconds...... No movement?! Raising his eyes and taking a closer look, he saw that Sheng Shiyao's hand was pressed there and did not move, he looked at us with cool eyes, and suddenly said a sentence: "It's just asking you to lift your feet, do you need to make such a big move?" ”

We all looked at Zhou Tong with our eyes, in fact, the instinctive reaction just now was also because of his flying and tumbling momentum, thinking that the mechanism was activated, and something shot out. He was embarrassed by us, and he argued unwillingly: "I'm afraid that if it touches a bow and crossbow mechanism, don't you prepare to resist it first." How do you know that Brother Yao, you are still in that position, and you didn't let the mechanism start. ”

But seeing that Sheng Shiyao suddenly stopped at this time, he didn't give us time to react at all, everyone could only freeze in place, and the rumbling sound of the stone slab rubbing sounded, and the source was that in the open space in front of the stone coffin, a stone slab was slowly rising.
