Chapter 16 The Great Coffin Contains the Universe
Under the six walls of the burial chamber are funerary goods. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a few times, I have become accustomed not to pay attention to the burial goods, but to focus on the large coffin in the center of the tomb, if there is a national seal here, it will definitely be kept in the closest place to the tomb owner, that is, in the coffin.
Five people in the tomb, only a flashlight can illuminate, a few beams of light in the entire tomb swaying, the tomb is huge, it is estimated that it is not less than three hundred square meters, with such a large tomb, the identity of the tomb owner is definitely not low, at least a general.
"Here is the story of the tomb owner's life." Yang Gang looked at the murals on the six walls and said.
I heard Yang Gang's words and asked him, "What kind of lord is buried here?" ā
"Judging from the content of the mural, it should be a county king." Yang Gang said.
The county king is a title, usually one level lower than the prince, and it only depends on which dynasty it is in, so I asked Yang Gang again: "Which dynasty is the county king?" ā
"Yuan Dynasty." Yang Gang replied to me.
Yuan Dynasty, this corresponds to the previous speculation, and to this day I don't understand why the jade cicada led me here, how could there be a national seal in the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, didn't the national seal disappear in the post-Tang Dynasty?
Qin Shi Huang was the first centralized ruler in ancient China, was the first emperor, when he ascended the throne of Qin, began to build a mausoleum on a large scale, to his death has not been completed, repaired for more than 30 years, not only in the time of manpower in a large amount of consumption, in the posthumous burial is also quite luxurious.
Qin Shi Huang was considered a rather extravagant emperor after his death, and then there were a large number of emperors, and even other nobles were quite extravagant in terms of burials, until later, he began to slowly become simpler.
The Yuan Dynasty is a special dynasty, in terms of mausoleum construction, relatively simple, just like the Yuan tomb where we are now, from the ground, there is no ancient tomb found here.
Although it was simple, a large number of funerary goods were also placed in the tomb at that time, except for some perishable funerary goods that had decayed, and most of the rest were ceramics, among which blue and white porcelain was the most eye-catching Ming vessel.
The purpose of Lao K and the bearded man to rob the tomb is quite obvious, that is, me, they are rummaging around for funeral goods, some worthless, incomplete burial goods are discarded, and there are only a few pieces of blue and white porcelain that are truly intact, and they are all small objects, and there are no large objects.
This is also understandable, large pieces of porcelain are not easy to refine, and intact finished products are often for the royal family, if it is not rewarded by the emperor, it is difficult to reach the hands of the county king.
"It's okay to have these murals, but our skills are not up to par and we can't get them down, otherwise these murals can be exchanged for a lot of money." Lao K said with regret that the flashlight was reluctant to shine on the mural.
"These murals are now brightly colored, they have been sealed here for thousands of years, they don't come into contact with the outside air, and now we come in, we have made the murals come into contact with the air, and it won't be long before the bright colors fade." Yang Gang said with pity.
I agree with Yang Gang's statement, if I can, I will not take them into this ancient tomb, whether the official intentionally or unintentionally, the murals will be damaged to varying degrees.
"Don't fight the idea of murals, give up, I see that this Nanmu coffin is so big, there must be something in it, or let's open it and take a look." I sighed and circled around the Nanmu coffin.
Nanmu coffin is huge, more than one meter wide, more than one meter high, nearly three meters long, such a large coffin, it must be filled with not only the tomb owner alone, there should be other burial goods, perhaps the funeral goods of great significance are in the coffin.
Everyone had already searched for it in the tomb, and there was really nothing to take, so they all gathered around the Nanmu coffin to observe the huge coffin in front of them.
"How do you open this thing?" Old K asked.
Although Lao K was anxious to see the things in the coffin, he was told by several tomb robbery experiences that there was such a mechanism as the top door stone, which was the first mechanism of this ancient tomb, and it was estimated that the tomb owner could also think that if the top door stone came hard, it could also be cracked, and the first anti-theft mechanism was broken, and there was no other anti-theft mechanism in the tomb, so it was only in the coffin.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, we have to open this coffin sooner or later." Yang Gang did not stop walking around the Nanmu coffin, the huge coffin was placed on a fairly large stone platform, the stone platform could not be moved, but it was also not possible to be careless, so as not to increase casualties.
"And the organs?" I asked Yang Gang.
Yang Gang nodded: "Yes, so don't worry, when we break the mechanism in the coffin, we can open the coffin boldly and with confidence." ā
"Will there be a big zongzi in it?" The bearded man has been scared of the big zongzi.
Yang Gang looked at the bearded man and said, "It's hard to say. ā
This time, I carefully looked at the Nanmu giant coffin, and the coffin we saw before, although this coffin is also large, but the grade is much lower than the sarcophagus and bronze coffin.
"Yang liar, you said that there will be a mechanism in this coffin, what kind of mechanism is it." I've seen the mechanisms in other places, but I haven't seen them in the coffin.
"I don't know, we can try to open the coffin, and when opening the coffin, everyone must be careful so as not to be hit." Yang Gang said.
The Nanmu coffin was painted red, except for some reliefs on the coffin, most of the places are colorful patterns, the color has faded a lot, and even the red paint in many places has fallen off and appeared mottled.
Judging from the wooden board splicing of the coffin, the wall of the coffin is very thick, and the wood is hard, it is not easy for this kind of coffin to break it, and at the same time it is afraid that the Ming utensils that may exist in the coffin will be damaged, especially the national seal, otherwise these few lack of virtue will be in vain.
I searched for it, but I didn't find any holes in the coffin, and it was obvious that if there was a mechanism in the coffin, it would have to be opened before it could be fired.
"There's no hole or anything like that, you should only know what's inside when you open it." I frowned, but I still didn't know the bottom of my heart.
"Let's take a look and see if there is any news of the mechanism, so that we can turn off the mechanism first and then open the coffin, safe." Yang Gang said.
Tomb robbers rob tombs for money, of course, they don't want to have casualties in tomb robbing, otherwise there will be life theft and no life to spend.
So everyone looked for possible organ news on the coffin, but after a long time, it was equivalent to everyone searching for it, but of course nothing was found, and perhaps there was no such thing as organ news at all.
This anti-theft technology may or may not be more sophisticated.
When the coffin is closed, there is no possibility of opening it again, so that the tomb owner can sleep permanently in the coffin and settle into the ground.
