Chapter 477: Recognize relatives
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a big tripod in the world. The color of the surface of the giant tripod is dark green, which proves that it is mostly a copper tripod, and most of it will be a bronze tripod.
Although there is a distance apart, because of the light of the flashlight, I can still clearly judge the size of the bronze tripod.
According to my speculation, the bronze tripod placed in the middle of the tomb was at least about two zhang high.
The shape of the bronze giant tripod belongs to the kind of three-legged and two-eared round tripod, and each fixed resistance is nearly one meter high, which is very tall and stout.
I continued to look at it a few times, and found that the appearance of this giant tripod is very familiar, it looks somewhat similar to the Danding of Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu that we saw on the mural, except for the difference in size, it is almost carved out of a mold.
"Xiao Yan, do you say that the Ding will be the Chen Wang Ding that Chen Huai Wang Liu Zhu used to refine the pill?" I asked Li Huiyan.
"Just looking at the appearance, it is very similar, but the size of this tripod is not quite consistent with the description on the mural, and it should not be the same tripod." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
"Well, it seems that you can also see that this tripod is a little too big, and most likely it is not the bronze tripod that Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, used for alchemy." I nodded.
According to what we saw on the mural before, the bronze tripod used by Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, to make alchemy is only about one person in height, which is far from being comparable to this bronze tripod.
Since the one we see now is not the Danding of Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu, then what is it, why are the two Dings even imagined in this way, except for the size, there is almost no difference.
In the same way, I also saw an enlarged version of the grimace relief on the body of this bronze giant ding.
Perhaps because the grimace relief has been magnified, this is the first time I've looked at it so closely.
I don't know why, but I didn't feel the slightest fear when I saw this huge grimace relief, and it was far less terrifying than the grimace patterns I had seen before.
Because I was worried that there was a mechanism in this tomb, I didn't venture into it, but stood outside the tomb door and observed everything inside.
In fact, I didn't observe anything other than this huge bronze tripod, which seemed to be the only one in the large burial chamber.
"Do you want to go in and have a look?" I asked Li Huiyan. The reason why I say this is not because I am so angry with the bronze tripod, although I am indeed a little curious, but the main reason is other reasons.
Now there are only two people in the ancient well, Li Huiyan and me, if we can enter this tomb one step in advance, maybe we can find something useful in advance.
If you wait until those tomb robbers go down to the ancient well before entering, then it will not be so convenient at that time.
Just like just now, because there are only me and Li Huiyan under the ancient well, we can secretly put away the dragon horns on the ground, and we can hide the names that appear on the Desperate Monument.
If those tomb robbers had come down with us just now, these things would have been known to the tomb robbers a long time ago, and it would be impossible for us to do this.
"I think it's better to just call them down, I don't know if there will be danger in this tomb, and it's more reassuring to have more people." Li Huiyan said.
"Don't you want to go in early?" I asked.
"I want to see it, I'm afraid that something will happen at that time, and then there will be no one to save us." Li Huiyan said.
Li Huiyan is still the same cautious personality as before, which is one of the reasons why I admire her.
But this time, I was reluctant to listen to Li Huiyan's words, and I should have done this in the past, and I could have a certain guarantee for my life.
The situation is different now, and we are accompanied by four tomb robbers, which are completely incomparable to when there were only a few of us.
Once those tomb robbers also go down to the ancient well, our words and deeds will be thoroughly monitored, and it will be impossible to do certain things as we want.
After all, Li Huiyan and I have both been planted with golden thread Gu in our bodies, and we can only listen to those tomb robbers honestly for the time being.
"What's the difference, even if those tomb robbers really go down to the ancient well, most of them will be the two of us taking the lead, it's better to go in and take a look in advance, maybe there will be some unexpected gains." I said.
Hearing this, Li Huiyan also began to hesitate. Presumably Li Huiyan also knew that what I said was not wrong, even if those tomb robbers really went down to the ancient well, I would still take the lead with her at that time, and it would be absolutely impossible for those tomb robbers to take risks.
If you can harvest something before those tomb robbers come down, it will naturally be great, and maybe you can find some way to unlock the Golden Thread Gu.
"Xiao Yan, if we have to do everything under the noses of tomb robbers, there really won't be any chance of turning over, and you don't like to have four pairs of eyes staring at everything." Seeing that Li Huiyan was already a little tempted, I hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said.
"Well, there is some truth to what you said, if you can really get anything out of those tomb robbers before they come down to the ancient well, it will indeed be a good thing." In the end, Li Huiyan nodded and said.
Seeing that Li Huiyan finally agreed to my proposal, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, I was afraid that Li Huiyan would always be stubborn, and I really didn't know what to do when the time came.
So, Li Huiyan and I slowly walked to the tomb door not far away, ready to be the first to enter the tomb to have a look.
After all, this is already the tenth ancient tomb, and Li Huiyan and I don't dare to be careless, and every step forward is extremely careful, for fear of touching some mechanism in the tomb.
Because of my caution and Li Huiyan's care, when we walked towards the bronze giant tripod, we really escaped two deadly dangerous mechanisms, and each time it almost took the lives of the two of us.
There was no danger all the way, and my forehead was already full of cold sweat. The distance from the ancient well to the bronze juding is only more than ten meters away, and Li Huiyan and I walked for nearly five minutes to get there, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as turtle speed.
Fortunately, everything went well, and despite some dangers, neither of us was injured, which is a blessing in disguise.
When we walked in front of the bronze giant tripod, there was a sense of oppression in our hearts for no reason. When standing in front of the bronze tripod, the feeling is completely different from standing in the distance to observe, facing a bronze tripod as high as two feet, the whole person seems so small.
"Xiao Yan, this should be the largest bronze found in history." Looking up at the bronze giant tripod in front of me for a while, I turned my head and said to Li Huiyan.
As far as I know, the bronze unearthed in China is the Simu Wuding of the Shang Dynasty, and its height is only 1.3 meters, and the weight is only more than 800 kilograms.
But the bronze giant tripod we see now, the height alone is almost six times that of Simu Wuding, and the weight is impossible to estimate, not to mention four or five thousand catties.
"Compared with the cultural relics that have been unearthed, this bronze tripod is indeed the largest, but it is not excluded that there is a larger bronze buried underneath. After all, no one knows who else in history had a soft spot for bronzes, and it is possible to create larger bronzes. Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
I also deeply agree with Li Huiyan's statement, and there are indeed unsolved mysteries buried in those unexcavated ancient tombs in the land of China.
Just like the situation we are encountering now, if we don't see this bronze tripod with our own eyes, who would dare to imagine that there is such a bronze tripod in the world that has not been discovered, I'm afraid even those archaeologists dare not think about it.
The only thing that makes me feel a little puzzled is why Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, ordered someone to cast such a bronze tripod.
In my opinion, the amount of manpower required to cast such a bronze tripod is immeasurable, and it would be a little unreasonable if it was only used to decorate the ancient tomb.
You must know that the Eastern Han Dynasty is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the princes and nobles have long been not very keen on bronzes, and they are more admired for things like jade and terracotta figurines, which is why there are more Han jade unearthed.
"It takes time and effort to cast such a bronze tripod, and I really can't figure out why the owner of the tomb did this." I said with some puzzlement.
"It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the owner of the tomb must have his own reasons for doing this, and we have no way of knowing these things, after all, more than a thousand years have passed." Li Huiyan said.
I didn't dwell on this matter any further, no matter what the purpose of the owner of the tomb was to cast such a bronze tripod in the first place, the final result was the same, that is, to let us see such a remarkable thing.
If this bronze tripod is unearthed, I am afraid that it will immediately cause a sensation all over the world, and it will undoubtedly be a major earthquake in the history of world archaeology.
Then, I carefully looked around the bronze tripod. Because I wasn't sure if there was a mechanism for this bronze giant tripod, I didn't approach it rashly, and it was always more than a meter away.
As I looked around the bronze dome, I also glanced at the scene in this burial chamber a few times.
I found that this tomb is not very large, the length and width are about four zhang, in addition to this bronze giant tripod, there are eight bronze tripods with the same shape under the stone walls on all sides of the tomb.
Although the eight bronze tripods are not small, the height is more than one meter, but compared with the bronze tripod in front of us, it is nothing.
Obviously, these eight small bronze tripods are used to defend the large bronze tripod in the middle, and the number of all the bronze tripods adds up to just nine, which is the number of poles that the ancients believed.
