Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Nine Posts of Luxury Fragrance
The Ancient Tea Horse Road is a very special regional designation, which is a tourist route with the most spectacular natural scenery and the most mysterious culture in the world, and it contains an inexhaustible cultural heritage.
Later generations are also constantly extending the ancient tea horse road, Shaanxi-Gansu, Shaanxi-Kang-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet, extending into Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, India, until reaching the Red Sea coast of West Asia and West Africa, and the tea and silk abundant in the southwest pass through today's Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture and Lijiang area, Shangri-La into Tibet, and directly to Lhasa.
Some of them are also re-exported from Tibet to India and Nepal, which is an important trade route between ancient China and South Asia, so the Ancient Tea Horse Road is also called the ancient Silk Road in the south.
Luxury fragrance nine post map and tea horse ancient road map, we have seen above, there is no word monument here, maybe her descendants deliberately set up, they set up a "wordless monument" here is a smart move, Mrs. Xiangxiang's life merits and demerits let future generations to comment, this is the best way.
Because Mrs. Xiangxiang has something that can be affirmed and something that should be denied, Mrs. Xiangxiang vigorously developed the economy of Guizhou's political department and "employing people" during her reign, and even many people with feudal orthodoxy were amazed by it.
However, the negative side of Madame Xiangxiang is also very prominent, in order to consolidate her personal position, she has also killed innocents indiscriminately, extravagantly and wastefully, especially in the later period of her reign, you see that in order to build a mausoleum, a huge amount of manpower and material resources were spent, and the five thousand laborers who were poisoned in the front hall are the best evidence.
If you want to build such a huge project in more than ten years, the number of dead people is far from 5,000, and it is difficult to write good or bad inscriptions, so it was decided to set up a "wordless monument" to be evaluated by future generations.
"Okay, let's go, whether it is the mausoleum of Mrs. Xiangxiang inside, you will know when you walk in", about the merits and demerits in history, it is not for Yan Wenbin to judge alone.
All he wanted was the treasure inside, and to get out of here as quickly as possible, instead of stopping to study the merits and faults of the Wordless Heavenly Monument and Lady Luxiang, because the food was only enough for less than three days.
"Let's go up there, I don't know if there is a mechanism here, there are a lot of ropes, don't die because of the risk, I think there is a chance that there are also mechanisms here."
"I used to hear that there is an anti-theft measure in the ancient tomb called Tianbao Fire Dragon Glazed Roof, which seems to be recorded like this, first a thin layer of glazed tiles is laid on the top, and a fire dragon oil with a very low ignition point is placed on the glazed tiles."
"If you break into the tomb and touch the mechanism, the glazed tiles on it will be broken, and with enough air outside, the fire oil will burn when it meets the air, burning all the people in the tomb."
"Let's hope we don't encounter anything like this today," said the Demoman, looking up at the vaults that stretched along the ground, the oil lamps lit on them, but he had a bad feeling.
Now the Demoman is afraid that when people are halfway through, the oil in the oil lamp on it will fall down, and with the ignited wick, the oil will reach the effect of the glass top of the Tianbao Fire Dragon.
"You're afraid that if we touch the mechanism for a while, the hidden weapon will knock over the oil lamp on it, and then the oil will fall on us, but no matter how I look at it, there will be no Tianbao Fire Dragon Glass Top you said here."
Although Yan Wenbin felt that what the Demoman said made sense, he still couldn't believe that they would encounter the legendary Tianbao Fire Dragon Glazed Top.
"I think it's about the same, Xiao Gang, where have you seen a lamp with fire oil the size of a pot, the oil lamp has not been extinguished until now, there must be a lot of fire oil in it, we have seen the hidden weapon, but this is the tomb, maybe we will really meet this time."
Lao Hu can't forget the scene on it, he almost became a roast suckling pig, this time he was burned by fire oil again, and he can really only rely on his luck to survive, so Lao Hu doesn't dare to take it lightly, and after more experience, people will be vigilant.
"Since you are all so scared, let's extinguish the lamp on it first, collect all the lamp oil, and then plan later" Yan Wenbin also felt that he could not be careless this time.
"What's the use of collecting these fire oils, all of them are overturned, anyway, we don't go to the ground, we just hang them from the air, people used torches, which may cause the burning of fire oil, but now we use flashlights, there will be no cremation" The demoman heard Yan Wenbin say this, saying that he did not understand what Yan Wenbin did.
"What if the hidden weapon hits the wall and produces sparks, and the cigarette in your hand, it's better to be cautious, maybe you knock over the lamp, and the toxic substances in the lamp oil splash on your body, what will you do then", Gang Wenbin was originally very cautious, and just now the demoman reminded him, and he felt that he really had something missing.
"Actually, this thing is not as good as the current gasoline, but it can still burn people, and now all the oil lamps have been extinguished, and the oil has been removed."
"But the strange thing is that there is a little fire oil in such a big pot, but each pot weighs more than two hundred catties, you see this is all the pots with lamp oil, a total of eighty-one pots, with a weight of thousands of catties", Lao Hu hung on the rope, tired and panting.
"Oops, it's a trick, Yan Wenbin suddenly understood something, and immediately glanced behind him, and found that there was liquid flowing out of the gap on the ground behind them, as if the ground was sinking.
"Eighty percent of these liquids are poisonous, try not to touch them, it's a gravity trap, one end is hung on the lamp on the top, and the other end is connected to the ground, maybe the original designer knew that we would take the oil lamp off, and deliberately designed it."
"Now the ground is not falling, but the venom hidden underneath, because of the imbalance of gravity, is constantly coming out."
"Quickly put on the gas mask, the ancient people did not have a gas mask, and when they smelled poisonous gas, they would definitely be poisoned, maybe Yan Wenbin They were too lucky, living in the era of gas masks, and this mechanism is also self-defeating.
But Yan Wenbin was sure that this was not mercury, but something more powerful than mercury, but now he couldn't tell the difference.
"Don't touch the ground, maybe you step on these steps, but you don't know what will happen, since we have all touched the mechanism, the function will pass through the air." Yan Wenbin looked at Leng Bingyan and said.
But he immediately understood something, because Yan Wenbin looked at Leng Bingyan's hair in the air, which kept being blown by the wind and drifting inside, and knew that they had been fooled this time.
Because there are more poisonous gases in the tomb inside, this is the upwind outlet, and the air comes in from the gate, and the poisonous gases will be brought inside, even if they are not poisoned here, they will be poisoned inside.
"Don't be afraid, we have gas masks", Leng Bingyan felt that it was possible for Yan Wenbin to use this kind of mask for the first time, and was a little worried about whether the gas mask could resist the poisonous gas inside.
But this kind of mask can even prevent poisonous gas, not to mention the old thing that has been hundreds of years old, no matter how powerful the poisonous gas was before, it is not as strong as the current poisonous gas, because Leng Bingyan believes in the gap between the times and technology.
They climbed up the rope attached to the oil lamp until they reached the back of the stone monument before they all jumped off the ground.
"Damn, Xiaogang, we have made a fortune", Lao Hu had already seen the scene inside the tomb.
The front tomb is surrounded by pillars on both sides, and in the middle is a passage, and at the end of the passage are five stone bridges, and the stone bridge goes up to the steps that extend upwards, and the steps go up are the back rooms, and there is a huge stone pier in the back room, and above the stone pier is a very delicate coffin, and everything in the entire tomb is under the eyes of Lao Hu.
The key is that behind those pillars, there is a lot of reflected yellow metallic light, because Lao Hu just illuminated it with a flashlight, and found that the golden light was refracted behind the pillars, that kind of light Lao Hu was already very familiar with, and only gold could reflect the golden light of that color.
"Go down slowly, there won't be any mechanism here, and even if there is, the mechanism will appear in the coffin, but you still have to be very careful, the safer the place, the more dangerous it is."
Gang Wenbin feels that this place is not as simple as they see on the surface, if you think about it with the thinking of changing roles, this is your own design, and it will also set up a lot of mechanisms in the most safe place.
But Lao Hu could remember Yan Wenbin's words, and he immediately lit the fire, and rushed forward like crazy, lighting all the oil lamps in the tomb.
There are oil lamps not only on the top and walls, but also on the pillars and the ground, and when they are lit, the whole tomb is lit up, and even the light is a little dazzling, because the gold is reflective, so that this place suddenly becomes golden and splendid, as if entering the golden palace.
"Xiao Gang, you see these golden statues are distributed on both sides, the clothes on this side are all civil officials, and the generals on that side are wearing iron armor, and the people on both sides add up to at least a hundred golden statues, all the golden statues are facing the place where the coffin is located, if it is not a coffin but a dragon chair, there is really the momentum of the emperor going to the court, and the civil and military officials are meeting."
"I just saw that there is a reflection of metal light behind the pillar, I'll take a look", Lao Hu was very excited, he hoped that there would be gold bars behind it, not the light reflected by the copper mirror.
Because the gold they hid on it was taken away by the warlords, and Lao Hu fell from the peak to the trough, and now there is hope, and that kind of joy and happiness is difficult for people who have not experienced it.
Lao Hu looked at both sides, he was stunned, there were deep pits on the ground on both sides of this tomb, just on the edge of the stone wall, and on the innermost wall at the edge of the deep pit, there were many shelves.
The shelves are full of all kinds of utensils, and the pit is not gold bars, but a pile of golden sand, apparently the golden gold selected from the river, has not yet melted into gold bars, the golden sand is just piled up in the pit, but there are still a lot of gold and silver utensils buried in the golden sand.
