Chapter 620: Corpse Protector
The inscription under the jade turtle is very short, only five words, Yu Gong Drum Shou Ling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But this is enough to reveal the identity of the tomb owner, but I never expected that the king, who has now turned into a handful of dry bones in the coffin, is actually a character from beginning to end.
"Who the hell is that?" The people who went down to the tomb, Zhu Qi was most concerned about the whereabouts of the real Jiulong Cheng Ruizun, Tian Wanqing, Ye Zhiqiu and Xue Xinrou themselves are from archaeological backgrounds, of course, they are not a problem with history, and the rest is the palace lord, she is not interested in these in the first place, it is estimated that she is still a little curious when she sees me so surprised.
"The princes of the Beacon Opera must have heard of it." Ye Zhiqiu was smug beside him.
"I know this......" Gong Jue was suddenly stunned. This, this person is King Zhou You?! ”
"The princes of the Beacon Fire Opera were done by King Zhou You, but he just took on the infamy of an eternal faint monarch, and the real initiator behind the scenes is the master in the coffin." Xue Xinrou pointed to the bones inside and said.
The more the palace lord listened, the more confused he became, Tian Wanqing took the jade turtle from my hand and sighed with emotion, and explained to the palace lord in a hurry, the real name of King Zhou You is Ji Gongyan, this son of heaven is greedy and corrupt, does not ask about political affairs, and appoints confidants and ministers to take charge of political affairs.
And this scholar is treacherous and well-behaved, good at flattery, greedy for financial gain, but the king of Zhou You is very important to use him, so it caused strong dissatisfaction among the people, Gong Ni inherited the throne not long after, natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred, but the king of Youyou did not think about the disaster of fire, but indulged in the sound of dogs and horses, drunk and dreamed of death.
The king of Youwang favored the three beautiful women Bao Xi, but the history records that even if the You King collected the love of the people, but Bao Xi frowned all day long, and the phoenix eyes were worried, in order to get a smile on the beauty, King Zhou You tried his best, but he failed to do so.
The secretary who was in charge of the government offered sacrifices, lit the beacon fire, but saw the wolf smoke everywhere, the fire soared to the sky, all the people from all walks of life saw the beacon fire, and hurriedly mobilized the three armies to go straight to Lishan, but in front of them heard the pavilion, the sound of the piano was staggered, but there was not a single soldier.
But at this time, Bao Xi saw the frightened people from all walks of life, but smiled, and the king of Youxi saw Bao Xi charming and charming, and he was ecstatic, so he rewarded the daughter of the king, which is the source of the daughter of the later smile.
"As for the ending, you must all know that the princes of the Youwang Beacon Fire Opera, as a result, they lost their own country, not to mention the loss of their own heads, and it was Yu Gonggu who made the plan." Tian Wanqing glanced back at the tomb owner in the coffin. "This person was named Shangqing by King You, but he is good at benefiting the people of the country, and the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty has a lot to do with this person."
"Did he play the princes, it was also 1,800 years ago, since it is recorded on the bronze statue that the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun was buried with the king, why is there no trace of the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun here?" Ye Zhiqiu said.
"How can there be nine dragons Cheng Ruizun in the tomb of Yu Gong Gu, this time is not right, this person appeared in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is recorded in the bamboo book that the monarch of Yu Guo got Jiulong Cheng Ruizun earlier, indicating that it was not Yu Gong Drum who got this artifact." Xue Xinrou replied beside her.
"This is just a tomb, the burial system of Zhou Li respects the right and the left, and this tomb is on the left, indicating that there are two other ancient tombs connected together." Zhu Qi took out the cigarette stick and walked around the tomb again. "Although I know this way of burial, I have seen some similar tombs before and after, but most of them are set up on both sides of the main burial chamber with two slave tombs, generally speaking, most of them are buried together, but this is the first time I have seen such a large tomb."
"Uncle Seven, do you mean that although we found the ancient tomb, we found the wrong place, and there are two other ancient tombs that need to find a new way to find the entrance?" Tian Wanqing asked.
Zhu Qi shook his head and said, the yellow intestine inscription here is estimated to be too big, so we have a preconceived idea that this is a separate ancient tomb, if you look at the burial system of Zhou Li, this yellow intestine inscription is just a tomb, and the function of the burial room of the general tomb is the same.
There should be an ancient tomb directly opposite this yellow intestine inscription, all of which are subordinate tombs guarding the main tomb, but where is the general tomb so large, from the east tomb to the west tomb at most ten meters away: "There should be a passage to the west tomb, because the two slave tombs and the main tomb are connected." ”
Xue Xinrou hurriedly looked around when she heard this, the tomb was all made of yellow intestine wood, unlike the ancient tomb with a masonry structure, and you can also try to find the secret passage of the mechanism, everything here is clear at a glance, every place is stacked by dozens of pieces of wood of the same size, and there is no passage at all.
I looked at the palace lord, she knew that she would concentrate on surveying the surroundings, and when she came back, she shook her head at me silently, if there was a secret way, she could not have noticed.
"This yellow intestine question is getting more and more interesting, the dignified monarch of the country, and the secretary of Zhou Tianzi, can only guard the main tomb for others after death, the prince of Yu can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, the identity is so prominent, and the owners of the other two tombs are even higher than him, who will this be?" Tian Wanqing's face was solemn and she muttered to herself.
"This coffin is triple and six inches, which is second only to the specifications of the Son of Heaven, it can be seen that when the drum was buried, he did not exceed the regulations, but he enjoyed the yellow intestine inscription, it stands to reason that he is the person who ruined the Western Zhou Dynasty, how to count him as a sinner of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he should not be rewarded with such a high standard." Xue Xinrou was also anxious.
"Aunt Tian, the jade mask on the tomb owner's face was taken off by us, and we must repay the vow as soon as possible, otherwise once there is a deviation, future generations will no longer know what the mask looks like, which will be a catastrophic loss for archaeological research."
Ye Zhiqiu said to Tian Wanqing, I, Gong Jue and Zhu Qi glanced at each other, when did it be, Ye Zhiqiu actually thought about archaeological research, but when Tian Wanqing and Xue Xinrou heard it, it was estimated that they were the same as Ye Zhiqiu, and they thought that the matter was important, so they hurriedly squatted aside and reassembled the mask according to their previous memories, and Xue Xinrou drew next to him to record first-hand information.
"It's strange, how can the pattern of this mask be so different from that of the Han Dynasty in later generations." We couldn't find the passage to the tomb on the right for a while, so we could only wait for them to recover while thinking about it, and after a long time I heard Tian Wanqing's surprised voice.
"This person is dead, why do you need to wear a mask?" The palace lord leaned on the yellow intestine wood and asked.
"This is also a burial system from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, jade funeral masks, also known as jade coverings, there are two kinds of jade masks and whole jade masks, and the jade mask worn by Yu Gonggu is a jade mask, which is made of broken jade." I sat on the side and explained to the palace lord.
This also stems from the reverence of the ancients for ghosts and gods, the ancients believed that jade can prevent the soul from coming out of the shell, can ensure that the corpse does not decay, it is because of this saying, the Western Zhou Dynasty appeared jade overlay, this special funeral jade, is used to use a variety of jade materials corresponding to the facial features and other facial features of the person to make ornaments, decorated on textiles, used for burial to cover the face of the deceased.
Of course, this kind of luxurious funerary goods only appeared in the tombs of nobles, and the jade covering was prevalent for a while, and developed into the Han Dynasty to become the world's high-profile gold jade clothes, silver jade clothes, copper jade clothes, silk jade clothes, etc., that is, the whole body of the deceased was densely wrapped with jade, which marked the peak of the development of funerary jade.
"This kind of burial is called jade burial, in addition to the ancients believed that jade can ensure that the soul will not go out of the body, another reason is that through the contact between jade and the corpse, it plays a role in protecting the corpse and making it immortal." Ye Zhiqiu said while arranging his mask. "But the most critical reason is that the mask of the jade burial is used to protect the corpse."
"Corpse Guards?" The palace lord was a little puzzled. "It's still a strange name, people are dead, and you still need to protect your eyes?"
"The lights go out when people die, and the past is cut in two, the most afraid is that there is a worry that cannot be put down, so that the dead will be difficult to rest in peace, in the funeral system of Zhou Li, the eyes are extremely important, and a set of strict systems have been formed, which has the later jade mask, that is, according to the shape and size of the facial features to make jade pieces, drill fine holes, according to the position of the tie on a piece of fabric, covered on the face of the deceased." Zhu Qi lit the cigarette stick and took a deep breath and said. "This mask is called the corpse guard, and it symbolizes the rest of the deceased without worry."
"The corpse tomb was quite popular in the royal family before the Western Zhou Dynasty, and with the passage of time, the configuration format of the jade-covered jade piece became more and more concise, but because the eyes are the most important in the five senses of people, no matter how simplified, the eye jade cannot be removed." I nodded and told the palace lord.
"Most of the jade coverings unearthed by archaeology are from the Han Dynasty, and the facial features on the mask are tightly attached to the face of the deceased, and the eyes of the corpse are closed, but the jade mask in this coffin is completely opposite." Tian Wanqing looked at the restored mask in front of her and was puzzled. "The facial features are ornamented upwards, and the eyes of the corpse protector are open, as if a mask is on the face of the deceased, which has never been found in previous archaeology."
"Masks?" I walked to Tian Wanqing's side in a daze, looked down at the restored mask, and was suddenly surprised in my heart, although I lost my memory, but the memory in the Divine Domain was remembered in the Demon Kingdom, and the mask in front of me turned out to be the decoration on the face of the priest in the Divine Domain.
I frowned, these jade pieces are particularly familiar, I think carefully I have seen it in the coffin of the Yellow Emperor in Kunlun Jinque, because the jade pieces are scattered, so I didn't care about it at the time, but the appearance of the jade pieces is the same, that is, the Yellow Emperor also wore the same jade mask on his face after his death.
It can be seen that this custom has been around for a long time, the Yellow Emperor has come into contact with the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, and the six people above are all priests of the ruins, and they are worshiped as gods in the heart of the Yellow Emperor, and wearing the mask of the gods after death should be a kind of reverence and yearning, which is easy to explain and understand.
However, the Yugong drum is thousands of years away from the Yellow Emperor period, and it is not uncommon for jade to be found in the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it is unique like this, as Tian Wanqing was surprised, it is completely the first time it has appeared.
How could a prince of a vassal state wear the mask of a priest of the ruins, could it be that the tomb owner in front of him has anything to do with the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace?!
