Chapter Twenty-Five: Sacrifice to the Ding

This thing in front of you is Ding, this is undoubted, the following three vertical legs, the upper two ears, Ding in ancient times in addition to the utensils used for cooking, there are other meanings, they regard the Ding as the heavy weapon of the country, is the symbol of the regime. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info also symbolizes the three sides standing side by side and facing each other, which has more meanings.

When I saw the tripod, my heart was shocked, I have never seen such a large bronze tripod, the ordinary tripod used to cook food will not be so big, even the sacrificial tripod is not big.

But this tripod is so big that when Abu walks over, it can only be just as tall as the standing leg, and the width is not easy to measure, I estimated that at least six of us will have to line up to enclose the three standing legs of this giant tripod.

Just as we sighed, Abu couldn't wait to walk to the middle of the standing legs, and exclaimed happily: "Look, I believe that there is a treasure in this tower, and I can't say that there is no treasure after so many people have died." ”

"Don't jump around, be careful of something coming out of Nading and tearing you apart." Tianming looked at Abu and said disdainfully, "Besides, do you want to take this Dading out?" We don't have the time to get it out, so you can carry it out yourself. ”

When Abu heard this, he reacted and said with some disappointment: "Damn." I finally met something valuable, but I can't take it out, is there any reason for it? Then he shouted like crazy: "Come on, no one cares here, there is no treasure to build a tomb!" ”

At this time, the second uncle had already walked towards the back of Dading, where there were many stone platforms, and the second uncle seemed to have found something under the stone platform, and said to Abu: "Don't scream, if you call again, the ghosts will be woken up by you." At that moment, he pointed to the bottom of the stone platform, "Come and see what is under this stone platform?" ”

"Huh?" Abu heard my second uncle say this, and no longer "look up to the sky and howl", turned around, and ran towards the location of the second uncle, he is really a typical example of "I laugh at the sky from the horizontal knife 'Xiao', and I will go to sleep after 'Xiao'.

"What's that?" Abu asked the second uncle.

Before my second uncle could answer, Abu's eyes had already caught a glimpse of what was under the stone platform, and in an instant his expression lit up, as if a male orangutan in heat had met a female orangutan, and his eyes were straight.

When we saw Abu's exaggerated expression, we all walked over, and saw that there were indeed many treasures under the stone platform, all of which were of any kind, including bronze, jade, gold, pottery, wood, bone, horn, mussels, and shells.

Abu's mouth was already open and his jaw was about to fall to the ground, I patted him on the shoulder and ignored me, only to see that his saliva was about to come out, so I helped him lift his chin up.

"The sky pays off!" I didn't expect Abu to be able to say such a thing without reading much, and this was the first sentence after he closed his chin.

But the only things that interested me the most were the bronze courtier's jug and the bird-covered beast's foot, as well as the pair of serpentine-patterned jade walls.

The height of the Chen Jin pot is about 60 centimeters, the mouth is about 20 centimeters longitudinally, the mouth is about 25 centimeters horizontally, and the widest part of the abdomen is about 30 centimeters.

From the point of view of appearance, the lid is the same as the lid of the common sub-mouth insertion, in fact, the mouth of the pot is opened in the canopy of the hollow wave curved shape around the pot, the cover is the curved cover, there is a mountain-shaped hollow catcher, the ears are like the head shape, the proboscis of the upward rise is made into the snake shape of the curved body, an earring is set in the ear, the body of the cover is intertwined with snake patterns, the mouth and the circle foot are decorated with the handover pattern of the beast's eye, and the abdomen is a double snake head that protrudes from the circle, the overall shape is very chic, the ornamentation is exquisite and gorgeous, and the description is smooth.

As for the bird's cover beast foot, the body shape is completely different from this Chenjin pot, the diameter is about 20 centimeters long, about 40 centimeters high, it is a good vessel for holding fine wine, it is a flat oval body curved manifold, the top cover is a rectangle, the mouth is moved outward, there is a peacock wings covered with a round carving, it is a snake-shaped bend downward, the foot is four beast-shaped bodies, half squatting and standing, carrying this, and at the same time there are circular carvings for two weeks, if it is right, this should be the vessel of the Wuling King during his lifetime.

The other pair of serpentine jade walls, the diameter has to be fifteen centimeters, the aperture is about six or seven centimeters, it is reddish-brown, the decoration on both sides is exactly the same, the snake head is close to the wall and the external aid, the body is rounded and arc-shaped and inward, from wide to narrow, forming the tail tip to close at the inner edge, the double snake head and tail are connected, finely carved, the lines are beautiful and tactful, such as being placed in the antique store, it is not an exaggeration to be the treasure of the whole store.

As for the big tripod outside, although I really want to know what it does, but there is no information, and there is no way to understand, I observe and observe, and only see some snake carvings, and a huge large seal font: "Ling", I think this spirit character is probably a symbol of the identity of the witch king.

"Look, what does the word 'Ling' carved on this giant tripod mean?" I didn't know exactly what the word was trying to say, so I asked them.

"I don't know what's in this ding, otherwise it's easy to understand." My dad didn't understand it either, and said.

At this time, the young master sat quietly on the side, did not do anything, and did not observe these bright weapons with us, but when he heard my father say that there was something in this tripod, he instantly stood up from the ground, kicked on the corner of the stone platform, and immediately climbed up along the body of the tripod, and stood firmly on the top of the giant tripod.

The master seemed to see something strange, and kept waving to us, and we couldn't climb to the top like the master, so we could only go up the stone ladder and slowly climb to the third floor of the tower.

At this time, except for Abu who was still there to pack up those large and small Ming vessels, we all climbed to the third layer, it turned out that the middle of the third layer has been hollowed out, and the middle of the giant tripod mouth is exposed, and when we are on the lower floor, because the giant tripod blocks the view, so we don't know that there is a gap in the third layer, and the things in the tripod have already made us full of fear about the role of the giant tripod.

"It's a sacrificial tripod!" My dad was surprised.

I saw that the tripod was covered with countless heads, and it had gone through the ears of the giant tripod, if you put something into it, I am afraid that the head in the tripod will go out of the tripod, and the master saw us come up, and did not stay on the tripod, and jumped to our side with a bounce.

And when the master jumped down, due to a certain amount of strength, the head in the ding actually fell a few times, and one of them just smashed on Abu's back.

"What the hell! Why are you smashing me!" Abu raised his head and said dissatisfiedly, at this time, Abu was still holding a few small bronzes in his hand, and kept putting them in his backpack, and I scolded silently in my heart: "What a guy who is obsessed with money." ”

"Stop loading things, come up and take a look at the contents of this ding." Tianming also scoffed at Abuna's obsessive behavior.

"What? Is there a better baby in the ding? Abu looked fascinated.

"Uh-huh!" We pretended that there was indeed a treasure in Nading, and nodded our heads one after another, also to trick him here.

Abu put down the Ming weapon in his hand and rushed up the stone ladder, to be honest, I have never seen a person in my life who is so obsessed with Ming weapons as Abu.

"Holy! That's what you call baby? When Abu saw Dingnei's head, he said helplessly.

"Don't you say that, will your kid come up?" The second uncle explained, "Besides, the things under the stone platform are enough for you to eat for a lifetime, and I am worried about whether there are any bright weapons in other places." ”

"Alright! But how could there be so many heads in this ding? How many people died in there? Abu asked in horror as he looked at Dingnei's head.

"This may really be a sacrificial tripod." My father sighed and said, "Since this witch king can summon the souls of the dead, I am afraid that there are ghosts and gods to help, I think these heads are the last sacrifice to the ghosts and gods before he built the tomb!" ”

"I have to smash the tomb of this witch king upside down, this is too fucking inhuman." Abu also began to do justice, and said loudly.

"It's all gone!" I say.

"I don't know how many floors there are in this tower, why don't we go up and have a look now?" I said, looking at the ceiling above me. Because I remember that the first floor made of human bones was the penultimate floor, and we still had stone slabs above our heads, so there were at least two more floors to go up.

We were about to walk upwards when suddenly the master jumped in front of us and stopped us.
