Chapter 17: It's hard to see the whole door

Xiao Ye and Qianyu saw that there was a stone in front of them, and hurriedly waved the shovel to shovel inside, only to see that Xiao Ye's body was still moving, the halberd on his back continued to tremble with his body, and the saber pinned to Qianyu's shoes also began to shake up and down at this time, which shows the speed of Xiao Ye and Qianyu, and soon we have seen that there is a huge stone slab inside, as if it is blocking a passage.

And the loose soil on the top of our heads didn't fall, as if there was something to support, so we looked up, it turned out that under the loose soil above was also a stone slab, and when Xiao Ye and Qianyu completely dug out the stone slab, the soil in front of it suddenly slipped off the stone slab.

At this time, we clearly saw that the soil had fallen from the sandwich between the slate and the other slate, and the other slate was connected to the slate in front of us, that is, the slab on our head, one was vertical, the other was lying flat, and the top supported the loose soil and the corpse above, which is why the blood energy could be preserved here, and the slate in front of us happened to form a cross shape with the slate above.

At this time, the master suddenly stopped, turned his head to us, and said, "This should be an isolation layer made of stone slabs!" ”

Speaking of this isolation layer, that is, a separation zone is formed between these stone slabs, or a container, which completely separates the blood from it, and these blood will neither volatilize nor lose, but will only be stored forever in this pile of soil above our heads, of course, this time we have dug up, and there will be no more such a thing in the future, but those corpses will soon turn into a pile of white bones and merge with the earth.

At this time, we were in no mood to take care of the things above our heads, but we were all thinking about how to remove the stone slab in front of us, and the young master already knew what the stone slab in front of him was, and said: "We have to dig on both sides of the stone slab before the tomb door can be opened!" ”

There are some bird-shaped carved patterns on this tomb door, and what is special is that in addition to those bird-shaped carved patterns, there are also some snake-shaped, and I can't remember seeing the snake-shaped snake for a while, only to see that the tail end of the snake is still buried in the soil.

This kind of tomb door is obviously a tomb door of the Han Dynasty, and further it resembles the tomb gate of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this kind of carved stone appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty, and was extremely prosperous in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was used as a funeral architectural decoration, usually by a masonry with special skills called "Shi" and a painter called "painter".

There are three kinds of lines carved on the slate, namely Yin line carving, subtracting shallow carving, relief carving and openwork carving, the last technique is extremely rarely used, the engraving is completed, and the painting is colored and rendered. The Eastern Han Dynasty custom of thick burials promoted its development. However, Cao Wei's turmoil and thin burial advocacy, the portrait stone declined and even became extinct. Because it was used for funeral rites, the subject matter of the portrait stone was also made around the life, wealth and social activities of the deceased.

Of course, the slab in front of us was used as a tomb door, because when we dug on both sides of the slab, we saw a gap, and this gap was the gap between it and the other stone door.

When my father saw this, he hurriedly dug it from the side, only to see another stone slab appear in our field of vision, this stone slab is obviously the same shape as the side slab, and there are also carved bird-shaped patterns and snake-shaped patterns on it, obviously this is a stone tomb door made of two stone slabs.

My father shoveled the earth off the slab and said, "It seems that the door of this tomb can be opened, so try shoveling it up and down to see if you can find any knockers or something!" ”

Before my father could finish speaking, Abu had already understood the meaning of this, and hurriedly shoveled it down, but at this time the slate was not fully revealed, and Abu answered: "Okay! "I came here with a shovel, and my dad immediately gave him a spot, and we shoveled on the right, and Abu shoveled below, but the position here was not very wide, so I had to let three people shovel, and the others stood in the back to rest for a while, and when we were tired, they came up again to take a breath.

Originally, we didn't have much hope, at least we found the tomb door, and even if we couldn't open it, then we could find other ways to enter the tomb, but it would have been a waste of time, and when we were still shoveling the dirt on the side of the stone slab, Abu had already made a new discovery.

I heard Abu startle and shouted, "Found it, the knocker is here!" ”

We all turned our heads around suddenly, what kind of ordinary knocker was this, it turned out to be a snake's head, the snake's head was bigger than my fist, and there were two holes in the snake's nose, and the knocker was hung in it.

Speaking of this shop, the head of the shop is a traditional building door ornament with the meaning of exorcism, the ring ornament on the door, most of the beast head ring, with gold for it, called the gold shop; It is called silver shop with silver; With copper for it, it is called copper shop. Its shape, there are those who smelt the lily, there are those who smelt the beast kiss, and there are those who smelt the smelting, and they cover their good and guard. There are also tortoises and snakes and tiger-shaped ones that are used to ward off evil spirits.

And the smelting of the beast's head title ring has long been on the bronze ornaments of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is a kind of animal face pattern, there are a variety of shapes, a ring under the mouth, used for the decoration of the inlaid door, generally made of metal, as a tiger, a mantle, a turtle, a snake and other shapes. The temples of the Han Dynasty were mostly decorated with shops to ward off demons and evil spirits. It is also widely used in the folk door, in order to express the avoidance of misfortune and seek blessings, praying that the gods are brave enough to protect the safety of their families like beasts dare to fight, and what we have in front of us is a copper shop, and it is also snake-shaped.

In the past, whether it was the palace of the emperor and the general, the mansion, or the small courtyard of the common people, there was generally a courtyard door, and on both sides of the door crack in the center of the two street doors, there was an object similar to the door handle in the place where one person came high, which could be a door knocker, or a diamond-shaped door pendant, and the door knocker or hanging door pendant, the base fixed and inlaid on the door was called the shop, also called the door shop.

The shop head, the door knocker are an indispensable and important component of the gate, according to legend, the shop head is one of the nine sons born to the dragon, the vigilance is high, so it is decorated on the door leaf, the concept of death as life has not been changed, so to this day, this kind of shop head is also equivalent to a habit used by the tomb owner in front of the tomb.

But when we saw the shop, we looked a little helpless, and the second uncle also understood, and said, "It seems that we have to dig a little lower, this tomb gate is far more than we imagined!" ”

"Why do you have to dig, damn my hands are sore, since I found the shop, can't I just pull it away? Why do you have to dig! Wang Dashan said impatiently.

At this time, I had to talk to Wang Dashan patiently, and I hurriedly reassured: "This shop of jewelry is hung in the middle of the door, that is, we have only dug out half of the tomb door, and it is generally buried under our feet." ”

Wang Dashan was surprised when he heard it, the expression, as if he had experienced all the despair in the world, couldn't say a word, he just looked at his feet blankly, and the shop, looking very distracted, the crow saw this, hurriedly knocked on his back, and said: "Don't be in a daze, start early and go in early!" Wang Dashan came back to his senses.

Half of the slab was so tall that even Abu couldn't touch the loose soil on it even when he was standing in the hole, which meant that we had to dig at least two meters deep.
