482 - Verse in the coffin
When the lid of the coffin opened, I first put it in for two days to illuminate the demon fire, and then I also looked into the coffin with my heartstrings tensed, and saw that there was no movement inside, so I breathed a sigh of relief, threw down the lid of the sarcophagus and took a closer look inside. Lying in the coffin was a broken skeleton that could only be seen in human form......
The bones were covered with a somewhat strange-looking armor, which had been corrupted beyond recognition, but if you looked closely, you could still see that it should be made of iron sheets, and even most of the armor had fallen apart, and there were many iron pieces scattered around the bones that had obvious signs of oxidation.
"It seems that this should be the armor of the Han Dynasty, and it is a large armor piece of armor......"
Jia Erye is worthy of being an expert, only glanced at it, and explained to me in a straightforward manner: "The armor is made of hemp rope and iron sheets, and the armor of the Han Dynasty is generally divided into two kinds, one is the armor, the other is the fish scale armor, and in the early Western Han Dynasty, it was mainly based on large armor pieces. Later, it was gradually replaced by fish scale armor, and in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, Persian technology was introduced to China, and the use of armor was completely extinct......"
Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment, then nodded again, and muttered secretly: "I guess that the time when this corpse was buried should be the early Western Han Dynasty, because the armor style of this period is obvious, and it is in sharp contrast with the pre-Qin, the middle of the Western Han Dynasty and even the Eastern Han Dynasty...... But here. Why is there a skeleton from the Han Dynasty? ”
As he spoke, Second Master Jia carefully studied the bones again, but finally shook his head and said: "This skeleton is already rotten, it seems that there are no funeral objects in the sarcophagus that can be used as clues, let's take a look at the second sarcophagus......"
After making sure that there was no clue in this coffin, Jia Erye took me to the sarcophagus in the middle and asked me to open it again.
This time I didn't hesitate, I lifted the lid of the sarcophagus, and looked inside, there was also a skeleton buried in this coffin that was about to lose its human shape, and the body of the corpse was no longer wearing armor, but a rotten cloth coat, but this clothing was relatively well preserved.
Second Master Jia glanced at the clothes on the corpse, then nodded and said, "Look at the style of this clothes." It should be the popular curly deep clothes in the early Han Dynasty......"
"What is this?"
I asked like an idiot, because these things that Second Master Jia said, what kind of armor and what kind of deep clothes, I have never heard of it, and I have long made Second Master Jia confused.
So Jia Erye explained to me that the curved deep coat was a popular style of clothing in the Han Dynasty, and according to the "Book of Rites", a major feature of the deep coat is the "continuous hook edge", that is to say, "the common feature of this style of clothing is that there is a curved skirt that is covered backwards."
This kind of clothing is tight and narrow throughout, long and can be dragged to the ground, and the hem is generally flared, and the feet are not exposed. The sleeves are wide and narrow, the cuffs are mostly trimmed, and the collar part is also very distinctive, usually with a cross-collar. The neckline is low so that the undergarment is exposed. If you wear several pieces of clothing, each layer of collar must be exposed, up to more than three layers, when called "triple coat", the clothes are turned several times, around the buttocks, and then tied with silk ribbons, and the clothes are also painted with exquisite and gorgeous patterns.
As he spoke, Jia Erye suddenly turned around and said to me, "Boy, lend me your fan." ”
I didn't speak, I decisively pulled out Bai Ze Fan and handed it to Jia Erye, and then I saw Jia Erye carefully start beating the rotten clothes on the bones with the fan bones, and the movements were very light and slow, as if I was afraid of destroying the shape of the clothes.
Then I saw Jia Erye stirring the clothes and said to me again: "Although this dress is a curved deep coat, it's true." However, this kind of clothing was very common in the early Han Dynasty, not only was it the most common dress for women at that time, but even men wore it like this, and the bones just now could be determined to be men, so I want to see if this corpse is ......."
As he spoke, he had already stirred a few times on the bones of the corpse with his fan, and then nodded secretly and said, "Sure enough, it's a woman, but it's obviously not an ordinary woman." ”
"Not an ordinary woman? What kind of woman is that? Second master, don't embarrass me......"
I pursed my lips and said, "I don't know anything about the cultural relics world and tomb robbers, if you continue to go around with me, I will have to make you dizzy......
"Hehe, don't worry, listen to me slowly and you will understand."
Jia Erye returned the fan to my hand and said: "According to the armor worn on the first corpse just now, we can already deduce that the period when these people were buried was the early Western Han Dynasty, and there were clear regulations in the Western Han Dynasty that the people were not allowed to wear all kinds of colored clothing, but only natural linen, this provision was gradually diluted until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and ordinary people began to be allowed to wear turquoise light clothes, and although the curved deep clothes worn by this female corpse have been seriously corrupted, and even the original color can not be distinguished, But if you look closely, you can still see the traces of dyeing, that is, she was able to wear dyed cloth dresses in the early Han Dynasty, which shows that her identity is either rich or expensive, and she is definitely not an ordinary ordinary person......"
"How can you say that she is still a famous family or a prince and nobleman?"
"It's not impossible."
The second master pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed to the third sarcophagus and said, "Go, open the third sarcophagus again, and see what kind of bones are contained in it?" ”
I nodded, and hurriedly walked to the front of the third sarcophagus according to Jia Erye's instructions, pushed open the lid of the coffin and looked inside, and we were both shocked in an instant......
Not because there was something amazing lying in this third coffin, but because this third sarcophagus was surprisingly empty.
"This, how is this possible? Why are there three coffins, two with corpses and one without people? ”
In the exclamation of Second Master Jia, I took a closer look in the empty sarcophagus, and saw that on the stone wall on the right side of the sarcophagus, there was a line of small characters obliquely deep, but they were all ancient characters, and I couldn't understand what was written at all......
I hurriedly asked for help from Jia Erye, and Jia Erye also began to understand the handwriting in the sarcophagus by the light of the demon fire. To heal the brother.
After looking at it for a while, Jia Erye replied: "This is a small seal, it is a text from the pre-Qin period, it looks like it should be engraved on the stone slab with the tip of a knife, judging from the angle of inclination of the font and the depth of the carving, it should be ...... It should be ......"
After repeating 'it should be' twice, Jia Erye's words still didn't make it clear, I stood next to me and waited for a while, and then I heard Jia Erye reply in a panic: "Yes, it should be...... It should have been carved by someone lying in a coffin ......"
As soon as Second Master Jia said this, I was instantly shocked, how is this possible? Lying in a coffin carved out of the words? And what about the man in the coffin?
I was just about to ask a question, but I saw that Jia Erye had already concentrated on touching the inside of the coffin, and then exclaimed: "These words are carved a little strangely, judging from the position of the words engraved on the stone slab, this person should have had his head in the direction where we were at that time, but the words were engraved on the right side, which is extremely inconsistent with the position of the lettering, coupled with the strange inclination of the knife work, this person should be a left-hander...... He held the knife in his left hand and carved the words on the stone tablet......"
"And what did he engrave?"
After I finished asking, Jia Erye read it carefully word by word: "A farewell to Mangdan, a second life, a three-star gathering meeting, the Qilin Cave has an eternal life......"
When I heard the three words of Qilin Cave, I was shocked in my heart, why did the word 'Qilin Cave' be mentioned in this sarcophagus? Isn't the Kirin Cave a place where the Sanqing Sacred Tree is hidden in the Turtle Mountain?
What is immortality? Could it be that this mysterious stone hall has nothing to do with the Witch Ghost Sect?
When I was thinking about this, Second Master Jia continued to carefully study the words engraved in the sarcophagus, and suddenly, he lightly scratched his finger on the sarcophagus, and under the dust, two smaller and more inconspicuous words were revealed-
'Chu Xiang'.
