"Deep Lake Tomb Chapter 14 Guarding the General"
After walking past those stone slabs, a statue suddenly appeared in front of him, this statue was a general in armor riding a black war horse, and he still carried a sharp sword at his waist, because his head was wearing armor, so it was not clear what he looked like. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I leaned in with a flashlight, because I majored in history in college, so I couldn't help but want to see these things when I saw them. This statue is so lifelike that if you only look at it from a distance, you really think it is a living person.
I stood in front of the statue and applauded, I didn't expect that the Shang Dynasty could carve a really lifelike statue, and for a while I was full of praise for the craftsman who made the statue.
The fat man walked up to me and looked at the statue, and then said with some contempt: "I said that you kid is really, this is a gatekeeper, can you have a little interest." ”
I glared at the fat man, and then shifted my gaze to the waist of the statue, the sword he was wearing attracted my attention, according to the craftsmanship of the time, the bronze sword appeared in the late Shang Dynasty, and the then King Wairen was the eleventh monarch of the Shang Dynasty, and the time is also very consistent.
The body of this bronze sword is a little short, and it is only more than sixty centimeters on visual inspection. There is also a protruding partition between the sword stem (the handle of the sword) and the sword body, called the 'lattice', but this bronze sword is relatively well made and more exquisite. There is something like an ornament on top of its lattice.
I took a closer look and found that it was an ancient jade, and this was also in line with the ornaments of the Shang Dynasty at that time, this bronze sword was very perfect in terms of workmanship and decoration, and if such a sword was auctioned, a few would cost tens of millions.
I beckoned the fat man and asked him to take a look, after all, he is a veteran in this area, and the specific price is also estimated by him. The fat man looked at it for a while, and then praised it and said that it was a good weapon, and he was about to take off the bronze sword on the waist of the statue.
Ren Ke stood aside and watched the fat man's actions and didn't say anything, just looked around casually with a flashlight, and when he saw the monster depicted on the wall on the right, his face became extremely ugly in an instant.
Ren Ke hurriedly shook the light on the flashlight on my face, and then shouted to a few of us: "Don't touch the things on it." But it was too late, because the fat man had already taken off the bronze sword a second ago, and Ren Ke's face was like a frosted eggplant after seeing the bronze sword that was removed, and then his eyes were staring at the statue.
After a few seconds of silence, a cool breeze blew from somewhere, and the statue shook suddenly, and the first time I went to the tomb to see such a thing, I immediately sat on the ground with soft feet. The fat man is also a person who has seen the world, although his legs began to tremble, but he did not fall down after all.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Da Zhuang was ready to rush over and try to pull us away. But Ren Ke grabbed him, and then hurriedly ran towards us, and then threw us all to the ground. The statue shook for more than ten seconds before quickly turning into a pile of ash at a speed visible to the naked eye, blowing towards us. Ren Ke hurriedly pulled out a black cloth from his backpack and surrounded all three of us, and signaled us not to move.
I looked at the fat man to know what was going on, but the fat man shook his head gently and said he didn't know either. After Ren Ke saw that the three of us had all been surrounded, he hurriedly got up, and then moved little by little towards Da Zhuang's location with the black cloth in his hand. When he arrived, he hurriedly threw away the black cloth on his body, and asked me and the fat man, "Are you okay?" ”
The fat man and I checked our bodies, then shook our heads to say that there was nothing wrong. Da Zhuang looked at the statue that had disappeared and asked, "What is this, why is it so strange?" ”
Ren Ke took out a lighter from his pocket, then pointed to the wall he had just looked at and said to us, "Look at that mural. The mural looks no different at first glance, but there is a small hole in the heavy color, and the position of this hole is directly opposite the statue. ”
Ren Ke paused when he said this, and then set the black cloth on fire just now, and a bad smell of temperature hit him instantly, knowing that the black cloth was all burned before he continued: "The ash on this statue is a bit evil, and once it touches it, it will rot all over the body. In addition, this statue has been around for thousands of years, and as long as it comes into contact with an external force, it will immediately turn into ashes, and at that time, it will also activate the mechanism in the hole, and the wind will blow the ashes on our bodies. ”
After hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but shudder, and then said: "Spoon, I still think there is no mechanism here, it turns out that this person is preparing to sinister us behind our backs?" ”
I smiled and didn't speak, nodded lightly at Ren Ke to thank him, and then put the bronze sword in the fat man's hand into the backpack and said, "Let's go, just be more careful below." ”
After walking through the burial chamber, we were ready to move on. The specifications of the tombs in the Shang Dynasty were relatively simple, and they did not want to be as particular as those of later generations, but the tomb system in the Shang Dynasty was very strict. There is a strict distinction between class and hierarchy, and in general, the mausoleums of the ruling class are of a very large size.
The tomb is sloping downward, and it is lined with walls on both sides of the tomb without any signs of carving. And not far ahead, the fat man found a stone stele. There are also some Shang Dynasty characters carved on the stele, but because the time of these words is too long, some parts are also eroded and cannot be seen clearly.
The fat man saw the words on the stele and was four big, if he could identify antiques, he could do it, but when he encountered this kind of thing, he could only stand aside, so he turned his eyes to me, and asked me if I knew what was written on it.
I took the flashlight and looked at it roughly, and then whispered a small part of what I knew: "King Shang, Wairen,...... Rebellion. ”
"Gone?" The fat man saw me stop, and then asked me anxiously.
I nodded, and then said to him, "Some of the parts of this stele don't exist anymore, and I can only read a few parts, which is pretty good." ”
Speaking of which, I thought about the part I could understand just now, and I still didn't understand what was in it. According to the history of the Shang Dynasty and the time of the reign of Wairen, it was only the Nine Kingdoms Rebellion that had turmoil at that time, but from the perspective of time, the people who are qualified to write such a big historical event on the stone tablet, except for the king at that time, even the princes have no right to do so.
But when I came, I read a lot of historical materials about the Shang Dynasty. It is clearly recorded that after the death of Wairen, his mausoleum was buried in Diquan. Di Quan is within the boundaries of HN Province, but this is the boundary of Changsha, how can he be in this place?
Thinking of this, suddenly a strange year crossed my mind, could it be that the ancient tomb of Diquan is a fake, and the ancient tomb we are in now is a foreign one?
