“

Hurry up and get out of here, there's a pool of mercury below, beware of mercury vapor poisoning", Yan Wenbin leaned against the stone wall, looking for a gas mask in his backpack.

Lao Hu was the fastest, and as soon as Yan Wenbin finished speaking, he put on a mask.

Gang Wenbin found a rope, tied a packed chicken leg to it, and put it in the mercury pool.

The chicken thighs had just been submerged in mercury, and they immediately saw that the water around them began to bubble, and even churned, and when Yan Wenbin pulled them up, the meat on the chicken thighs had all been corroded clean.

Lao Hu saw Yan Wenbin very admired, if it weren't for the test just now, he thought that there was a pool below, Lao Hu wanted to jump directly from it, the consequence of that would be that he would definitely be made by mercury and there would be no bones left, many people showed admiration, maybe they thought the same as Lao Hu.

“

Pay attention to safety after going down, there may be organs, be careful", Yan Wenbin sorted out the rope for the people around him.

It was one of Leng Bingyan's subordinates who went down, after the rope was finished, he held a bow and crossbow in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to the bow and arrow, and the rest of the rope was in the bag, and when it fell to a third of the distance, he fired the bow and arrow, shot the rope to the pillar on the lower layer and wound it, pulled it very firmly, and slowly slid down to the open space in the middle of the mercury pool, the whole process looked simple, but in fact, Yan Wenbin's palms were full of sweat.

When everyone arrived at the underground palace below, Yan Wenbin saw the location of the entire underground palace clearly.

In the northernmost part is a mercury pond with a length of 20 meters and a width of 10 meters, and in the middle of the mercury pond there is a stone platform with an area of 25 square meters, and there are steps extending down on all sides of the stone platform until the bottom of the mercury pool.

The gang Wenbin were all crowded on the stone platform, because no one knew what kind of mechanism was waiting for them in front of them, and when faced with the threat of death, everyone had a sense of awe of death.

Go forward more than ten meters, there are five stone bridges, five stone bridges are arranged together, and there is a dark river and mercury pond under the stone bridge to link together, walk across the stone bridge and is a square, the square has more than 1,000 square meters, there are two ear chambers in the east and west respectively, a total of four.

Each ear chamber was blocked by a stone door, and the stone door weighed at least a thousand catties, but now they didn't know what was inside the ear chamber, and there were two tomb beasts in front of the stone door of each ear chamber.

There are hundreds of stone statues in the middle of the square, neatly arranged on the square, the middle is a ten-meter-wide aisle, on both sides are brass portrait oil lamps, all of which are golden, and it looks like this hall is very luxurious.

At the end of the square is a screen carved from a huge stone, and there is a corridor on each side of the screen.

There is a gilded female bronze statue of a human-shaped palace lamp in less than five meters in the entire underground palace, all of whom kneel on the ground and hold a slender lamppost with their hands, and there are more than ten burning oil lamps on each pillar, but the oil lamp is not liquid vegetable oil, but white paste grease.

"Whose tomb is this, built so extravagantly, even the bronze statue is gilded", Leng Bingyan's subordinate demoman thought for the first time that the ancient Chinese would have such a rich person.

In the impression of the Demoman, the productivity and science of ancient times were backward, and even the rich people at that time would not be rich to any extent, but seeing everything in front of him completely subverted his philosophy.

"Hehe, boy, dumbfounded

Since ancient times, the Chinese have a tradition of treating death as life, and the mausoleum after death is also called the Yin House, and the king attaches great importance to the mausoleum as a residence after death. They also want to be as bright as the palace they were in, so there is an everlasting lamp."

"The most used in this kind of ever-bright lamp is whale oil, whale oil has a thousand years of immortality, whale oil is a very scarce resource in ancient times, the price is more expensive than gold, known as gold in oil."

"However, this kind of whale oil is not expensive and abandoned, on the contrary, whale oil is regarded as a symbol of wealth and power, and is mostly used by emperors and nobles to illuminate the underground palace, so as to show the wealth and status of the deceased."

"It can be said that some people did not enjoy it in their lives, but after they die, they are buried with the support of their families", which is a phenomenon that is extremely contrary to human beings, but this phenomenon is common in the tombs of various ancient officials.

In primitive society, due to low productivity, human beings could not explain many phenomena in the natural world, so there was fear and awe of the things around them, so they had animistic beliefs.

Along with this belief, human beings are constantly aware of the things around them, and at the same time, human beings are also trying to explain their own existence, and in order to explain the spiritual activities and the phenomena of physical death of human beings, the soul theory is born.

The ancients believed that the body disappears after death, but the soul is immortal and can still participate in and influence some of people's activities.

This concept quickly prevailed as soon as it was born, and it was still respected by people from all walks of life in the Han Dynasty.

The people of the Han Dynasty believed that the dead soul would live forever and continue to live like a living person in another world, so they focused on treating the dead as if they were alive.

In order to enable the deceased to live a comfortable and stable life, the shape and structure of the tomb chamber imitate the real house as much as possible, and the burial goods try to incorporate the tools and items used by the living into the tomb, and even make the houses, fields, poultry, livestock, etc. into models and idols for the burial, and completely use real life to construct the underground world for the deceased.

This phenomenon is found in many Han tombs, such as the ancient city of Han tombs, the tomb is shaped as a brick multi-chamber tomb with a slope tomb road, which is composed of several parts: a tomb passage, a passage, a front room, a back room and an ear room.

The unearthed artifacts include glazed pottery warehouse, glazed pottery well, pottery dog, pottery chicken, five baht coin, etc.

The Han people also believe that "people die as ghosts, and they have knowledge", which can bless the living and harm the living, so in order to seek the blessing of the dead to the living, sacrifice has become a regular activity.

From the emperor to the people, they never get tired of it. There is a bed in the cemetery of the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and a temple is set up outside the mausoleum, which is a place of sacrifice.

Bangu's "Hanshu Wei Xuancheng Biography" contains: "There are beds and halls in the garden. The day is sacrificed in bed, the moon is sacrificed in the temple, and the time is sacrificed in the temple".

By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to maintaining the etiquette and customs of the Western Han Dynasty, the cemetery ritual system began to hold an unprecedented scale of mausoleum ceremonies.

The bureaucratic landlords built a large ancestral hall in front of the grave as a place for regular rituals.

Sima Guang's "Wenlu Gongjia Temple Tablet": "The nobles of the Han Dynasty built ancestral halls in the tombs", and those from poor families could not afford to build ancestral halls, but they still had to regularly go to the ancestral tomb to pay tribute, commonly known as "upper mounds".

For example, Zhu Maichen during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his family was poor and made a living by collecting firewood, and his wife went to marry others.

One day, "the buyer was singing alone, and during the period of his salary, his wife and husband went to the grave, and when they saw the buyer's hunger and cold, they called for food and drink."

The dead are buried with gold and silver, but the living can fill their stomachs for three days without food, so the Han Dynasty has a thick burial, I don't know what those people have experienced,

Maybe it's for a filial piety.

Under the vigorous advocacy of the ruling class, the concept of "filial piety" has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is manifested in the funeral customs, that is, the practice of thick burials.

Thick burials were extremely prosperous in the Han Dynasty, and they were particularly prominent in the funeral rites of the upper class of society such as emperors, nobles, and bureaucrats.

"Jin Shu Suolin Biography" cloud: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne for one year and contributed one-third of the world, one for the temple, one for the guests, and one for the mountain mausoleum."

The Maoling of Liu Che, the longest reigning Emperor of the Han Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, is reported: "the height of the tomb is 46.5 meters, the top is 39.5 meters long from east to west, 35.5 meters wide from north to south, and the bottom of the tomb is 240 meters long", the momentum is extremely macroscopic, and the burial goods are extremely rich, the tomb "hides more money and property, birds, beasts, fish, turtles, cows, horses, leopards, birds, birds, all hundred and ninety things, all the scarcity".

Since the emperor is like this, the princes and nobles below, the nobles and bureaucrats, etc., are unscrupulous and extravagant.

"Hanshu Huo Guang Biography" contains: After the death of the general Huo Guang, the imperial court gave "money and silk embroidered quilts with 100 collars, 50 clothes, wall beads and jade clothes, one Zi Palace, one toilet room, one yellow intestine inscription, and fifteen coffins in the fir wood column", and "sent three rivers to wear Fushi, and raised the mound ancestral hall".

"Throughout the ancient times of the Yan Wenbin Kingdom, we will see such a phenomenon, where the country is unified, the society is stable, and the political and economic conditions are better, it is often the climax of the development of funeral customs."

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Han regime inherited and developed the scale of rule and the feudal autocracy of the Qin Dynasty, and successfully adhered to the great cause of unification for hundreds of years, showing the superiority and vitality of the unified regime, Lao Hu explained on the side.

"It's really a waste of talent if you don't go to rob the tomb", the Demoman sees that Lao Hu knows the tomb very well, because many things that Lao Hu said make sense, at least they can't find a reason to object.

Lao Hu is a disrespectful, money-greedy and lustful person, who is with him, he is really embarrassed. And Lao Hu's famous saying is that if you have the opportunity, you will do a lot of work, and if you have money, you can marry Cuihua.

Lao Hu saw this scene and was happy, and directly hugged the golden dragon on the pillar and kept kissing, and his mouth read that he was rich, rich, and rich.

Because Lao Hu knew that this was a tomb during the Han Dynasty, he said that "the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was enthroned for a year and became a mausoleum, and contributed one-third of the world, one for the temple, one for the guests, and one for the mountain mausoleum.

“

Lao Hu, Lao Hu", Yan Wenbin kept calling Lao Hu, at this time Lao Hu looked back at Yan Wenbin, and immediately ran over like crazy and hugged Tong Wenbin and turned around.

Because Lao Hu was too excited, Yan Wenbin felt that his eyeballs were about to be squeezed out by Lao Hu.

“

Old Hu, let me down, fake, this golden dragon is fake, the inside is brass, and the outside is gilded,

The real treasure is inside the coffin and the ear chamber".

“

What are you doing standing there", Lao Hu was already impatient, and he was about to do it when he picked up the shovel.

“

Don't be in a hurry, the more this time, the more you can't be in a hurry, you have lost half your life, I don't know whose mausoleum this is, and whether there is a mechanism or something, we don't know anything, don't be careless, otherwise we don't know how to die, people are dead, then these things are useless."

"But it's not difficult to know whose mausoleum this is, you can only find clues on the epitaph, crack the text on it, and it's clear."

"Yes, many tombs have a stone tablet in them, and there will be a record on the stone tablet," said the Demoman, looking at Yan Wenbin.

"Lao Hu, don't move, you too, Leng Bingyan, give me the rope, the ghost knows what hidden weapons or mechanisms are in this place", Yan Wenbin took the bow and crossbow, shot the rope onto the stone carved beam on the top of the screen, and then tied it to his body with a pulley, and asked Lao Hu to pull Yan Wenbin over.

"Don't you know what Chief Leng's name is? On it, he deliberately asked people, Xiaogang, you are not honest", Lao Hu teased on the side.

"I don't really know what her name is sometimes, is that weird? Okay, hurry up, don't walk on the ground, the ground is not safe, let's go through the air," Yan Wenbin said disapprovingly.

On both sides of the screen there are two huge statues, one side is a dog and the other is a horse, and when it comes to the front of the screen, Yan Wenbin sees the text on the epitaph.

"Lao Hu, do you know this text?" Yan Wenbin looked at the text on it and didn't know the text, how could he know what it was described.

“

This is the text of the Yi people, there are Yi people living in this neighborhood, I have seen their words, but I don't know "Lao Hu never forgot to come out and insert a foot, otherwise how to show his sense of existence."

"Yi Yi language", Yan Wenbin heard that his head was big, there are very few people who know such words, and this national culture is also rich and colorful.

According to legend, the Yi people are the ancient Qiang people in the process of southward migration and the southwest indigenous tribes for a long time to form an ethnic group, in six or seven thousand years ago, the ancient Qiang people living in the northwest Hehuang area began to migrate to all directions, one of which moved to the southwest.

In the early days of the Qiang people, the southward branch merged with the local indigenous tribes to form the "Liuyi", "Qiqiang", "Jiudi" and other tribes in the southwest region, which are often called "Yueyi", "Qingqiang", "Hu", "Kunming", "Laobaptism", "Mimo" and so on.

At that time, there were two other ancient ethnic groups in the southwest region - Baipu and Baiyue, after the ancient Qiang people arrived in the southwest, they and Baipu and Baiyue long-term integration and common development.

It is possible that the Yi people in this area are the later branches of the Qiang people who went south, and there are many Yi people who have made outstanding contributions to the astronomical and geographical calendar.

The lunar calendar is used in most parts of China, but in China, the Yi people still retain a little-known ancient calendar - the Yi October solar calendar.

It is speculated that this calendar originated from the ancient Fuxi, with a history of about 10,000 years, and it traces the history of Chinese civilization back to before the three ancient civilizations of Egypt, India and Babylon.

The Yi October solar calendar is a long and mysterious ancient calendar, which has a deep relationship with Chinese Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang Theory, and even has many "codes" to be deciphered and studied.

The Yi October solar calendar is the most accurate and simple astronomical calendar in the world at that time, located in the middle of the Yi October solar calendar cultural park square in Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, red, white, black and other colors of granite walls carved with the invention process of the Yi October solar calendar and the calculation, conversion method, the generation and development process of the Yi nationality and the achievements of the ancient civilization of the Yi nationality, etc., some are described in words, some are illustrated with pictures, the images of people and animals and plants are lifelike, and the scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature can be seen everywhere, People call this sculpture square a condensed history of the Yi people.

A famous clan that can have an indelible history in many ways, if these things are applied to tombs, then we are not moths to the fire and bring about our own destruction.

What worries Yan Wenbin the most is the Gu poison spread by ethnic minorities, witchcraft or something, I have heard before that many wizards of ethnic minorities will use witchcraft to summon lost souls back.

For example, the Kino people summon the soul of the god of grain, the Miao people summon the soul of the cow, and the Han children are sick and often think that the soul is lost outside the village, and the mother will take the child's clothes and go to the village to call the child's name and summon the soul for him.

The Yi people also have the custom of summoning the spirits of elders who have been away for many years or have died in a foreign land, presided over by shamans, often standing on high mountains, looking at the direction of the deceased's departure, calling the name of the deceased, while using twine to feint the soul of the deceased to return.

Zhuang, Mao Nan and other ethnic groups still have witchcraft to summon the soul of the dead, and now Yan Wenbin has two doubts that have not been solved, the first is why he was bitten by a drought and still alive, and other people who have been bitten are dead.

The second is what happened after he opened the jade coffin, this is a question that Yan Wenbin has been thinking about, and now he is encountering the tomb of the Yi people, how many of them are waiting for him, and Yan Wenbin has no bottom in his heart.

Seeing the huge statues of dogs and horses on both sides of the screen, Yan Wenbin didn't know what special meaning their appearance had, but the things that could appear in the tomb were either fierce or evil, just like the appearance of something like the tomb beast, which could not be taken lightly.

Now I don't know what it means, whether it is evil or auspicious, what kind of accident will happen next, and we don't even know how we died, in order not to let the expected events happen, Yan Wenbin still plans to figure out the text on the epitaph, but first of all, start with the horse and the dog.
