The Valley of the Land and Sea Chapter 21: The Archaeological Mystery (I)
Listening to Manzi's storytelling, I listened to it fascinatingly, if I didn't know that there was a storyteller, I really admired his ability to express himself and admired the five-body throw, if it wasn't for the blind bear interrupting me, I really wanted to listen to it all the time,
The blind bear waved us to follow him in, although the legend of "Seed Gu" has been lingering in my ears, but I still tried to overcome the fear in my heart, and beckoned a few people at the door of the main hall to come in, and Jiuda and Manzi were also unambiguous, and followed behind and prepared to enter.

When I entered the door, I accidentally saw the neatly arranged symbols on the stone pillar at the entrance of the hall, because it was familiar, I recognized it at a glance as a typical twenty-eight star formation, it seems that the owner of the tomb is not a person in the line, and I also know a little about this valve Dunjia.
I said to them, "Look at the arrangement of the stars, you can see that it is the matrix of the seven Nakshatras in the south of the ancient Suzaku Nakshatra diagram, with 42 constellations and more than 500 stars, including wells, ghosts, willows, stars, zhang, wings, and stars, and its image is a Vermilion Bird with wings spread and flying. The eight stars of Jing Su are like wells, called Gemini in the west, and there are constellations such as North River, South River, Jishui, and Shuifu nearby. There are four stars in the ghosts, one tube accumulates horses, one accumulates soldiers, one accumulates cloth, one accumulates gold and jade, and there are constellations such as tengu, celestial shrine, and outer kitchen nearby. The eight stars of the willow are like weeping willows, and it is the mouth of the red bird. The seven stars of the stars are the neck of the Vermilion Bird, and near it are the seventeen stars of Xuanyuan. The six stars of Zhang Su are the sons of the Vermilion Bird, and there are fourteen stars of the Temple of Heaven nearby. The twenty-two stars of the wings are the wings and tail of the Suzaku bird. The four stars are also known as the sky car, the four stars are in the middle, and there are two stars under the left jurisdiction and the right jurisdiction next to it, "the elephant of the car". ”
The Nine Great Masters were the first to hear it and asked me, "Did the little second master guess that this Heishui monarch might also touch gold?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I just think that the owner of this tomb should be the monarch of the Black Water Country himself, because this is the bearing of the Wang family." ”
Jiuda continued, "I don't know until I go in, generally the owner of the tomb will set up an epitaph or a eulogy at the entrance to the door, and I think this tomb is no exception." ”
I nodded, "hmm", and took the lead in boldly.
At the beginning, I was worried that there was a mechanism in the corridor, and I was extremely careful when walking, for fear of stepping on it, or touching something that should not be touched.
There is a dome in this space, the dome is painted with a red star map, and the surrounding walls are no longer black stones, but are made of bricks, which looks particularly neat, and one wall is also full of mottled and beautiful murals.
Manzi asked me, "How can these colorful murals be preserved so well?" ”
I know that he knows that I am doing archaeology, so I said this for the time being, although I have no confidence now, but I still explained to him, "The cost of mineral pigments is very high, but the color is bright, the stability is good, many mineral pigments are made of ore grinding into powder, such as lapis lazuli, malachite These precious raw materials, and then with the harmony of animal glue, finally leave a gorgeous color." Historically, such as the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the Tibetan Thangka, mineral pigments were used. ”
I explained to him as I studied the frescoes. It depicts a fiery sun, a maid in fluttering clothes, a deer and a horse gazing intently, and a three-legged bird symbolizing good fortune...... At that time, I was stunned, why are there three-legged birds painted everywhere in the tombs of this form palace? Obviously, the owner of this ancient tomb is extraordinary.
