Chapter Eighty-Six: Yerou Inscription
This armor is dazzling, even though it has existed for thousands of years, it still emits a craggy light under the light of the everlasting lamp above my head, like the scales of a python, and the light is extraordinarily bright.
Seeing no other danger, I cautiously walked to the front, carefully ripped off a piece of cloth, wrapped my palm, and touched the pile of armor.
The armor emitted an icy metallic sheen in my hands, reflecting on my face, reflecting a cold light. I frowned, grabbed one of the armors, and started with a heavy hand, a few of which must have at least thirty or forty pounds.
The ancient people's craft of making armor is not mature, if you want to guard against the chopping of the big knife and blunt axe, the weight of the armor must be as heavy as possible, a general on the battlefield, will wear dozens of catties of armor in advance, so the so-called generals and captains in ancient times, what they need is not any martial arts, but a strong physique, and great strength.
Many modern film and television works are deliberately processed, saying that the martial arts of a certain general are amazing, this is inaccurate, you don't need martial arts to kill the enemy, the ancient people were white-knuckle battles, thousands or even tens of thousands of people mixed together, sometimes people are next to people, tiptoeing, even if your martial arts are good, you can't play it.
At this time, the most needed arm strength, as well as a sufficiently heavy weapon, the ancient Guan Yunchang's Qinglong Yanyue knife weighed 82 catties, and it was precisely to consider this situation, just imagine, in a crowded place, there was a person who waved an iron lump of more than eighty catties to kill for a while, how terrifying was that scene?
Similarly, the armor is the same, the higher the level of the general, the armor will be heavier and heavier, generally ranging from 30 catties to 60 catties, but this kind of armor will greatly limit people's mobility, so the real battlefield confrontation in ancient times, the commander is unlikely to personally go into battle and kill the enemy, with armor is also to ensure the safety of important people, like the scene of the first soldier in the novel movie is not possible at all, unless the main generals are funny, they will be one person and one horse, Carrying dozens of pounds of armor, he rushed to the front of the enemy's formation and died.
Because of the age, the wooden shelf under the armor has all decayed, I just picked up the armor and looked at it a few times, I heard a "click" sound in my ears, and when I looked down, the entire wooden shelf collapsed, and the swords and armor on it were scattered all over the ground, and this movement also shocked Chen Yun who was guarding outside, she ran towards me quickly, and said Sima Nan, what are you doing?
I waved the armor on my hand at her, saying that this should be the armor equipment that the Bow Descendants wore when they led the army to fight.
"Know you're still messing around?" Chen Yun seemed to be very angry with my actions, and snatched the armor from my hand and spread it on the ground smoothly, the armor is not a whole, but a lot of small parts are put together, I heard that before the ancient generals went into battle, it took a long time just to get dressed, and it didn't have to be a modern big girl to put on makeup before going out to consume less time, it seems that it should be true.
Chen Yun picked up the armor fragments scattered on the ground piece by piece, spread them on the ground, and put them together completely, she was careful in this process, as if she was afraid that these iron bumps would hurt, I lost interest, so I squatted down to check the scattered wooden shelf, and found that there was a hidden grid under the wooden shelf, and when it collapsed just now, the dark grid was smashed, revealing a very delicate bronze box.
"Hey, what is this?" I snorted in my mouth, and subconsciously reached out to take it, Chen Yun noticed my movements, and hurriedly shouted, "Sima Nan, don't touch it!" ”
I had no choice but to retract my hand and say What are you doing in a daze, what's wrong with me taking a box? Chen Yun stood up with a cold face, walked up to me and said, "It's best not to touch the things in this main tomb first, don't you think it's strange?" The stone door of the main tomb was blasted open by a human being, but what about the people, even if they died together, we couldn't even find the corpses, what does this mean? ”
I frowned and said that no coffins were found in this place, could it be because they were looking for the coffins of the Bow Descendants? Chen Yun then shook his head and said not necessarily, I am very sure, this is the location of the main tomb, you look at the layout around here, including the armor used by the Gong descendant back then, this belongs to his most intimate things, and it is naturally going to be buried in the coffin.
I said that would be strange, since it is certain that this is the main tomb, what about the coffin of the Bow Descendant? Where will it go, such a big bronze bump, it will not be erected and carried away, right?
Chen Yun said that the Gong descendants were the founders of the Later Gao Juli, and at that time, there was no such thing as the Chinese territory, and their funeral customs may not be the same as ours, and the burial habits of our ancestors are also the burial habits of our ancestors, and the Gong descendants may not do this.
I said that's the case, but the bow descendant is also a generation of male masters, and he is buried after death, so is it difficult to find a straw mat to wrap in casually? He's always going to have a coffin!
Chen Yun couldn't deny this, and her brows immediately wrinkled deeper, we went through many difficulties and dangers, and finally found the main tomb of the Gong descendant, but we didn't find where his coffin was, which made me and Chen Yun a little unable to find the north, and after pondering for a while, Chen Yun proposed another possibility, saying that this tomb is possible to be fake?
I shook my head categorically, saying that archaeology is what you do, but it is my forte to find the tomb, this location, whether it is feng shui, terrain, or the scale of the funeral, is enough to meet the courtesy specifications of the Ninety-Five, if such a huge tomb is just a fake tomb, I really can't imagine where the bow descendant will be buried after death, and what kind of feng shui treasure cave can be better than this.
Chen Yun pondered for a while before bowing his head and saying, "Having said that, let's not make this kind of meaningless speculation yet, what's going on with that dark grid underground?" ”
I said I don't know, it's been hidden under the wooden shelf, if the wooden frame hadn't collapsed, maybe I wouldn't have found it, this thing and the tomb bricks under the tomb seem to be a whole, I don't know if I can pick it up.
Generally, the more important things will basically be arranged with traps, I don't dare to try it easily, I circled around the bronze box a few times, and I didn't see any doorways, but Chen Yun exclaimed, "The pattern on this box is wrong, it is not a product of the Gao Julio Dynasty, but an inscription of Gu Yelang!" ”
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, looked back at Chen Yun, but saw her pointing her finger at the pattern on it, and said to me, "Sima Nan, look, the lines on this are very similar to those clay pots handed down by the fat man's ancestors!" ”
I'm just a rough person, although I learned some ancient essentials when I was a child, but I don't know deeply, naturally there is no way to compare with the erudite Chen Yun, I looked at the pattern and looked, I really didn't see anything unusual, so I preached to Chen Yun,
"Impossible, where is Koyoro? This is the Great Northeast, more than 3,000 kilometers away, Gao Juli and Yelang Alliance have no intersection at all, how can there be an inscription belonging to the ancient country of Yelang here? ”
