"And what is this?" Xue Xinrou asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏww.ige

I suddenly reacted and took out a piece of paper and put it at the mouth of the well, and the paper did not fall, but hovered at the mouth of the well.

"This is a facility for ventilation, and the Bronze Palace is built deep underground, and in addition to the regular vents, there is also a secondary ventilation duct to allow air to circulate inside." I say.

"The ventilation duct is usually closed after the underground building is completed, but we didn't expect to find it by mistake." Ye Jiuqing said with confidence. "Put the rope down, no need to dig anymore, we can go directly to the Bronze Palace along the ventilation channel."

Tian Ji put the rope into the passage, I lit the torch and threw it down, the ventilation duct was about ten meters deep, Tian Ji tied a rope to his body, and was pushed away by Ye Jiuqing: "With me, when will it be your turn to show off, while standing." ”

"Uncle Ye......"

"Let him go, I can't convince him, you don't have to count on it." I interrupted the field chicken and tied the rope to Ye Jiuqing's body with my own hands, I knew in my heart that he was worried that the soil layer was soft, and the slightest mistake would collapse at any time, and the first person who went down was the most dangerous, he didn't want us to put ourselves in danger, I said while checking the rope. "I haven't figured out what to engrave on your tombstone, don't explain it for a while, be careful."

Ye Jiuqing smiled proudly, slowly went down the stone wall of the passage, and the rest of the people pulled the rope tightly on it, and it didn't take long for Ye Jiuqing to go down to the end, and we saw him holding a flashlight to check the surroundings of the passage, squatting in one place for a long time, and then crawling forward and disappearing from our sight.

I stared intently at the bottom of the passage, for fear of something unusual, but the palace lord pulled the corner of my coat from behind, and when I looked back, I saw the palace lord looking down at her own feet, most of them sinking into the dirt.

"Uncle Ye is right, this place has been excavated." Gong Jue's voice was a little worried.

"Yes, the soil is so loose that there are obvious traces of human excavation." Shen didn't regret it and squatted down to check.

"Could it be that someone has been here before us?" Tian Ji was taken aback and said. "Surely no one knows the secrets of the Bronze Palace before we do?"

"It's strange here, about the whereabouts of the Bronze Palace, the ancestors of the Zhu family only left it to their descendants, and the Seventh Master only roughly knew that the Bronze Palace was in Yangzhou when he was dying, and it was impossible for other outsiders to contact the clues of the Bronze Palace." I said with a frown.

"And King Zhou Mu melted down the Kyushu Ding that hid clues, and no one knows the secrets here, so who will come here to excavate?"

"The tracing of Jiuding, has been staying in the Qin Dynasty, now the archaeological community agrees that Jiuding was lost in the Qin Dynasty, there are currently two theories, the first is to sink in the river, and the other is to say that the Qin Emperor cast twelve gold people when the Jiuding melted Jiuding, but since these are all erroneous records, it means that no one knows the real whereabouts of Jiuding, and all the rumors about Jiuding are not related to Yangzhou." Shen Buregret said with a serious face.

"That's not necessarily, although King Zhou Mu destroyed Jiuding, but we didn't find it the same way, Jiuding is gone, but the clues of the Bronze Palace are still maintained on the map of Yugong Kyushu, since we can find it, it means that other people can too." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"That's even less likely."

I decisively denied Ye Zhiqiu's speculation, first of all, although there are clues to the Bronze Palace on the map of Yugong Kyushu, it must be pieced together with the other two shells in order to fully show the secrets of the Bronze Palace.

Moreover, even if these clues are known, no one can recognize the words of the Divine Domain on it, just at this point, it is impossible for anyone to know that the Bronze Palace is in the middle of Yangzhou, and at the same time, the ancestors of the Zhu family left the coordinates of the stars, and the identification of this direction is only known to people in the Divine Domain, that is, even if someone gets the complete clues of the Bronze Palace, it will be useless to determine the location and whereabouts of the Bronze Palace.

"If that's the case, why are there traces of human excavation here?" Xue Xinrou asked.

"And these blood soils, which were once impregnated with a lot of blood, judging from the color of the soil layer, the time is not too far away, and something must have happened in this area." Ye Zhiqiu was at a loss and said.

"I don't know, but it's not a matter for us to worry about, even if someone here has been here and has been excavated, I believe it shouldn't have anything to do with the Bronze Palace, I guess it's mostly a coincidence." I rubbed my forehead and couldn't find an answer for a while.

Chao Song!

Ye Jiuqing's voice came from under the passage, and we hurriedly gathered around the vent and saw Ye Jiuqing beckoning to us: "It's safe below, come down one by one." ”

We were all very excited when we heard this, and after fixing the ropes, we all carefully went down the stone wall, and at the bottom there was a turning passage, just enough for one person to crawl, and we walked forward for a long time, and the front gradually became more spacious, and by the time we could stand up, we were already deep underground.

"Do you smell it?" The voice of the palace lord sounded beside me, echoing all around, and it was clear that this was a very spacious place.

We turned on the flashlight, the light shone on the ground, reflecting the light of the green and dark, and under our feet was a road completely made of bronze pouring, and the lines on it were simple and rough typical of the Xia Dynasty.

"Found it, this is the Bronze Palace!" Ye Zhiqiu was excited.

"Smell something?" I asked the palace lord with the joy of patience.

"The smell of bones!"

……

"Bones?!" We were all taken aback, and we shone flashlights all around, but we didn't see any bones, and Tian Ji was puzzled. "How can there be bones here, maybe you smelled it wrong."

"Have you ever seen her smell wrong?" I looked around with a furrowed brow, but I was a little puzzled. "We've been to so many ruins, and most of them have found bones inside, but you've never smelled them, why are you so sure this time?"

"I didn't smell it before, because those bones had been left for too long, and the number of bones was very small, so I didn't notice it, but it's different here, in fact, I smelled it when I went down to the ventilation tunnel just now, and the further I went, the stronger the smell."

"But you don't see any bones here?" Shen said without regrets.

"It's not surprising that there are a few corpses in the ground, it's been here for thousands of years, who knows what happened, it's important to go ahead and find Jiuding first." Ye Jiuqing was estimated to be unfazed, and took the lead along the bronze road.

There is no lighting here, only the torches and flashlights in our hands to dispel the darkness in the dark underground, and along the bronze path there are bronze pillars erected on both sides of the road, which not only decorate but also support the place.

Shen Buregret stopped in front of a bronze pillar, looking excited and surprised: "Bronze developed to the peak of the Zhou Dynasty, but I didn't expect that the bronze skills before the Zhou Dynasty were more superb, and these patterns are exquisite and can be called treasures." ”

"The bronzes of the Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty are a combination of wine vessels, especially the sacrificial vessels, whose patterns are concise and simple, the lines are delicate and luxuriant, dexterous and novel, but compared with these bronze pillars, they are a little less heavy and solemn." Ye Jiuqing is well-informed, and he also feels when he stands under the bronze column.

"Dad, that's because the bronzes before the Shang and Zhou dynasties were mainly sacrificial, and these artifacts could reach the heavens and the earth in the cognition of the ancients at that time, so the majesty and sacredness pursued in the casting process, you look carefully at these ornaments, it is not difficult to find that most of them are giant eyes staring, wide mouths are angry, and animal ornaments that can roar in an instant, which helps to create a serious and quiet, mysterious and gloomy atmosphere, and produce a shocking deterrent." Ye Zhiqiu explained beside him. "What's more, this is a bronze palace dedicated to gods, so it is more solemn, but not to mention Jiuding for the time being, these bronze pillars are also the most gorgeous bronze artifacts I have seen so far."

"What kind of ornament is this?" Tian Ji asked, pointing to a place on the bronze pillar.

We looked at the place where Tian Ji's finger was, it was a beast face pattern, almost all bronzes are dominated by animal face patterns, and the bronze pillar in front of us is a single-layer high-relief animal head face pattern that cannot be seen on the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

All the animal face patterns are outlined with extremely simple geometric patterns, with some rough thunder patterns, all of which are the prototypes of later bronze ornamentation, with distinctive characteristics of the Xia Dynasty.

The beast face pattern pointed to by the field chicken has long eyes, big ears, and big fangs, and I recognize it at a glance: "This is gluttony." ”

"The Bronze Palace was built for the gods, why didn't you see the feathered dragon on the bronze pillar?" Tian Ji asked.

"Before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, gluttony represented ghosts and gods, and was the highest level of ornamentation, and the ancients at that time believed that gluttony was the medium of heaven and earth, the messenger of human and divine communication, symbolizing power and power, and it could even be said that it was the ghost god they worshipped." Shen did not regret explaining to Tian Ji.

"The fierce beauty of bronze art mainly comes from the ornamentation on it, especially the animal face pattern of gluttonous pattern." Xue Xinrou continued beside her. "It is recorded in ancient books that the casting of tripod elephants and the preparation of all kinds of things make the people know that God is good, which means that gluttony represents God!"

"Where has the palace lord gone?" Ye Jiuqing asked suddenly.

We realized that we hadn't heard the sound of the palace lord for a long time, and looked around to see the firelight in the distance of the bronze passage, and the palace lord stood there alone with a torch, as if something made her look fascinated.

"What's wrong?" We walked up and asked.

The palace lord looked surprised when he turned around, and the corners of his mouth squirmed for a long time: "Someone has been here before......"

"Huh?!" I was taken aback.

"And there's more than one or two people here." Gong Jue's voice was very sure.

"Impossible? Who can find this place but us? "I panicked.

Gong Jue's hand slowly raised, and following her fingers, I saw that the bronze passage was blocked by an earthen wall, and from the distribution of the soil layers on the earthen wall, it was obvious that it was incompatible with the bronze palace, and it was not left over from the construction of the bronze palace at all.

This means that someone has not only been here, but also filled in the earth to block the road to the Bronze Palace, just as the palace lord said, such a thick and thick earthen wall can never be completed by one person, I was stunned to look at the earthen wall, even racking my brains I can't think of anyone else will come here!
