Chapter 71: The Princess of Yue Kingdom (2)

The brick carved eaves imitate the wooden structure, just like the Han palace. There are brick protruding pillars on both sides of the tomb door, and the column head is connected to the bucket arch, and the colorful paintings of cranes and auspicious clouds are painted, and it must be a Khitan tomb with extremely high specifications.

The door of the burial chamber is closed with strips of bricks, layered from the bottom to the top. Ivanov was ready to use explosives again, but Qin Beiyang resolutely blocked him. He said that the brick carving of this door frame is a treasure and must be preserved. He used Professor Wang Jiawei's archaeological method, using a sapper shovel as a tool, and pry open and turn his head little by little, although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it will not damage the cultural relics. It took them half an hour for the entire brick wall to be torn down. Qin Beiyang piled the bricks next to him in a regular manner, and it seemed that they could be restored as they were. Inside, there are two wooden doors, painted with stunning peony paintings, and the doors have gilded copper door noses.

Qin Beiyang pulled out the Tang knife with his right hand and pushed the door open with his left hand......

Overhead is a rectangular patio, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, in the shape of a funnel, with a tomb passage in front and a tomb door in the back. The perimeter is sealed with bricks, and the lime mortar is filled with joints, which is extremely strong, and ordinary tomb robbers cannot enter at all. Behind the patio is the front room of the underground palace, and Qin Beiyang is already familiar with it, so he sent a small book to make an archaeological record.

The antechamber is long and deep, and is also covered with frescoes. Ivanov and Wolfna did not dare to go out of their breath, for fear of waking up the good dreams of the characters in the mural. Qin Beiyang used a horse lantern to illuminate the maids in Hanfu, and there were many Han people in the Khitan, mostly from the sixteen states of Yanyun, so there was one country and two systems for the official Han system in the south and the official Khitan system in the north. On the other side of the mural are Khitan warriors, holding a special weapon.

Qin Beiyang carefully observed and confirmed that it was a bone - also known as a golden gourd, similar to a long-handled hammer, and a heavy iron tool in the shape of garlic or tribulus was installed on the wooden handle, which could only be used by a strong man, and could be smashed and framed hard, and the folk martial arts practitioners said that "the hammer and the stick will be invincible." The murals are divided into two rows, brocade robes, heads, hairpins and flowers, and bones and flowers, all of which are ceremonial supplies, and perhaps bone objects.

The roof of the front room is canopy-style, and the ceiling is painted with the sun, moon, stars, and sacred birds. The ground is full of burial goods, but they are all things of daily life—green-glazed long-necked pots, tea-green glazed chicken leg jars, flower-mouth celadon bowls, celadon plates with entwined chrysanthemums, and even black-and-white chess pieces made of wood......

In the corner of the former burial chamber, an important thing was found, which was the epitaph.

The first few rows of quaint small seals "The epitaph of the princess Yelu of the ancient Yue Kingdom of the Great Khitan Kingdom and the preface".

It's another princess's tomb - Qin Beiyang got married to the princess this year.

The princess's surname is Yelu, the daughter of Emperor Jingzong, the mother of Xiao, and the princess of Yueguo. The princess is young and intelligent, long and soft, jade and virtuous, quiet and warm, Lan Yi shows off, moves Yinghua, covers the heavenly bell, and is not trained by Mu. In the room, the quality of the gods, as a concubine to the door of the minister, although it is expensive out of the palace, and the etiquette is the way of the woman. Taining Army Festival Envoy, Inspector Taishi, Horse Captain Xiao Shaoju, and the queen's nephew. The princess died first. Loved by Fang is deep, and the pain is deep and dyed. The Holy One came to the advisor in person, and the more he cared for him, he ordered the imperial physician to choose a spiritual prescription and take good medicine, and it was absolutely effective. The longevity is short and long, and the number of dead has been determined. Dying face and early thanks, and the shallot dew is zero. On March 7, the seventh year of Kaitai, he died in the private house of the north of the palace at the age of 18......

Qin Bei jumped to the last few sentences: bleak grass and trees, miserable wind and smoke. Alack! Although all of them have died since ancient times. The princess of Yue Guo is too young.

It's a tomb of a princess and a concubine, and Ivanov and Wolfna are both around, but only Qin Beiyang can read Chinese characters - no wonder for these White Russians, Chinese translation is indispensable, not only in Russian, but also in ancient Chinese and Chinese history.

"The princess of the Khitan Yue Kingdom?"

Qin Beiyang muttered to himself, this "Princess of Yueguo" has nothing to do with Wu Yue Chunqiu in Shaoxing, Suzhou, and Goujian, the king of Yue, who is lying on his salary and tasting courage, just a title, but where do you seem to have heard it? The flames in the lobes of the lungs have been extinguished, and a bonfire has risen in the brain......

A few months ago, in the ice cave of the Khing'an Mountains outside Siberia, if it hadn't been for eating the meat of mammoth zombies 10,000 years ago, Qin Beiyang would have starved to death and turned into zombies. He will not forget the corpse of the Khitan Han people - Han Xingde, an Arctic explorer ordered by the Emperor of Liao, who was trapped in an ice cave and left a text on his deathbed to tell his love story with the "Princess of Yue".

Qin Beiyang touched his trouser pocket, and there was a small jade pendant hidden with a pattern of cross-necked mandarin ducks. Nine hundred years ago, the princess gave Han Xingde, a Han guard. He took this jade pendant out of the ice cave, decided to complete the mission in place of Han Xingde, and returned it to the Khitan tomb.

The arrangement of fate? Or is Han Xingde blessed by the spirit of heaven? Crossing thousands of mountains and rivers in the dark, he guided himself to this tomb and returned to the Yin Mansion of the princess of Yue Kingdom.

"Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Wolfna could see that his eyes were wrong, and that the woman was indeed a sensitive animal.

Qin Beiyang awkwardly said that it was okay, only saying that the owner of the tomb was a Khitan princess, and her husband was buried in the tomb before her.

"So she's a young widow, like me."

"She was more unfortunate than you, she didn't have children, she died at the age of eighteen."

"That's her luck to avoid the pain of losing a child." Wolfna covered her mouth again in grief, "I'm sorry. ”

Qin Beiyang discovered the east and west ear chambers to the left and right of the antechamber. As the name suggests, it is like a human ear, which is arranged on both sides of the head, and is symmetrical on the left and right. In this way, our brains are equivalent to the burial chamber where the owner of the tomb in the underground palace sleeps.

Walking into the east ear room, the floor is full of burial treasures. It was all the finest porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the White Russians were not interested in it, probably thinking that these jars and jars were fragile and difficult to carry, and they were worthless. In the west ear room, there are two sets of gold and silver horse harnesses, and the Khitan is a people on horseback. Ivanov's eyes lit up, and he was interested in everything he wore gold and silver.

The entire structure of the underground palace is already clear - the tomb passage, the patio, the front room, the east ear room, the west ear room, and the back room.

The most important is the back room, where the owner's azusa palace is located.

The door of the tomb is the same structure as the front room, and everyone draws the gourd in the same way, or the sappers shovel the bricks one by one to unload the bricks and place them.

This time, Qin Beiyang was more careful, and there were tomb beasts appearing in it at any time. He protected his chest with a Tang knife, and Jiuse was close to his feet, slowly pushing open the last tomb door......

Stepping into the back room of the underground palace, the light illuminates the oval wall, covered with curved wooden parapets, which seem to be composed of hundreds of red cedar pine strips, connected by mortise and tenon joints, from the floor to the ceiling. No, there is no ceiling, and the back room is a vaulted roof, similar to the felt tent of the Khitans.

Wolfna screamed, she patronized to look at the top of her head, accidentally stepped on something? The colonel used the miner's lamp to shine into the ground, and there was a brilliant and dazzling reflection, which turned out to be full of glasses and bottles. Qin Beiyang carefully checked, there are exquisite carvings on the glass, which must be from Persia and Arabia, and the medieval "Khitan" has become the representative of China in the Eurasian world.

Behind this large pile of glass is the tomb owner's 10,000-year-old cave.

There are no coffins.

But there is a bed.

Bed.

Strictly speaking, it is a bed covered with a drapery, like a large mosquito net of the Han people, in the center of the circle in the back room of the underground palace.

Qin Beiyang saw two figures, lying in the curtain shrouded in layers of tulle, sleeping together, as if making a slight snoring sound......
