Chapter 59: The Sea of Stars
The star map is an important means of sacrifice and divination in ancient times.
Both dynasties and races attached great importance to astronomy, the imperial science.
In ancient times, people admired the unity of heaven and man, and were full of reverence for the sun, moon and stars in the sky, and kings linked their fate with the stars in the sky.
The so-called celestial stars descend to earth, purple microstars shine, monarchical power, kingship and so on. This is also the reason why most of the tombs with star maps that have been found belong to the royal family.
And the sky dome of this big tomb in front of us is really magnificent, the vast dome is almost invisible at a glance, and the gems in the sky are inlaid in the sky, reflecting the bright light like the stars, which is extremely shocking to see!
Xu Wenbin squatted on the ground, rummaging through the pile of bricks and stones that he had fallen down with me, and it didn't take long to find six or seven star gems the size of pigeon eggs from inside, each of which was more than ten carats in size!
If the various colored gems in this dome are arranged according to different stars, if it is really done according to the proportion of the sea of stars, how many gems must there be......
I'm almost stupid! Xu Wenbin's eyes were even bigger than that of a cow, and he couldn't say anything when he looked at those gems.
Even if I have seen the burial gold vessels in the burial chamber of the underground Xuangong, and I have also seen the shadow wall cast in pure gold, I can see so many gems, and the sky and stars arranged in strict accordance with the ancient star map, I am still shocked.
"So many star gems, this is the case!" Xu Wenbin's face was almost distorted, and he squatted on the ground and rummaged through the pile of masonry and dirt that had been smashed on the ground, trying to find more gems.
"Cao Cao's Biography" records that "Cao Cao Farewell into the Dang, send Liang Xiao Wang Tomb." "When Cao Cao robbed the tomb of Liu Wu, King of Liang Xiao, he personally went to the scene to command." broke the coffin and collected tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures. It means that by stealing the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, he collected tens of thousands of gold treasures and fed the soldiers of the whole army for three years.
If it weren't for the emperor-level tomb, I really couldn't believe that there were so many treasures in a tomb, and the luxury of the tomb repair was simply shocking to the world!
These treasures are so different from the scraps of copper and metal you see in antique markets or museums, and there is so much wealth that you can imagine!
I was thinking about it crankily, when suddenly Xu Wenbin on the side shouted at me, and the voice was so loud that I was startled.
"Holy! This ground is made of bronze! The whole ground is! ”
"What? Bronze cast ground, this can't be! "I heard him say that, the same reflex is the first to deny.
Bronze, in ancient times, was an extremely precious thing, otherwise it would not have been used to cast the emperor's coffin, saying that it was used to lay the ground, that is to kill me and I don't believe it!
I hurriedly squatted down to check for myself, and sure enough, I found that the ground was cast in bronze, and the patterns on it were extremely gorgeous! Then he picked up the flashlight and looked around, and found that there were countless thick bronze chains hanging near this hundreds of square meters of platform hanging down to the endless darkness, and through the darkness we found that we were actually on a high platform.
Just when I was shocked at how much bronze it cost to spend on such a large altar, a familiar shout suddenly came from below: "Hey!!" Who's on it? ”
I listened carefully, wasn't this the voice of Qian Fat, so I hurriedly limped to the edge of the altar, and found that about ten meters below the altar, there were three people standing, it was Wei Cripple and Qian Da Nose, so he shouted excitedly: "It's me, Liang Jiu." ”
As soon as Wei Cripple saw that it was me, he immediately shouted: "Leave the copper coffin!" Danger, jump off quickly. ”
I don't understand what Wei Cripple meant, Tong Chu? What a copper coffin, wouldn't it? Is this thing under our feet a bronze coffin? A three-story bronze coffin?!
What are you kidding, is it a whale in such a big coffin?
I subconsciously asked, "What is written on the rubbing?" ”
Xu Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I said kid, you really don't know anything?" You've been with Wei Cripple for so long? They just didn't tell you anything? I don't know anything, you can still run here blind, you are also the number one person, it's just that, I'll show it to you! When the time comes, you'll be able to look back. With that, he took out a rubbish from his bosom and threw it to me like garbage.
I was a little speechless, but I picked up the mysterious rubbing like a treasure, and was about to pick it up and use a flashlight to see what was written on it, when suddenly there was a sudden shock all around, and Xu Wenbin and I were both shocked.
I was so startled that I almost threw my flashlight out. Such a large bronze coffin, to say the least, weighs thousands of tons, is it the earthquake of Teniang? The volcano of Changbai Mountain is about to erupt, otherwise how could this copper coffin shake like this.
Xu Wenbin was also shocked by this, and seemed to be trembling a little, and he didn't know whether he was scared or excited.
The two of us sat almost silently, listening carefully to the sounds inside the coffin.
Below, Qian Nose shouted loudly: "What are you still doing on it, jump down!" ”
I looked down, and under the bronze coffin was a huge stone platform, ten meters high! If I jump, wouldn't it be no different from suicide?
I was thinking this, when suddenly there was a strange screeching sound under the coffin under my feet! There seems to be something scratching the coffin cover!
When Xu Wenbin heard the voice below, he gradually showed an excited look, and his face was full of madness and he said to himself: "When the antlers are blown, the soul of King Su Shen will break through the sea of stars and ascend to heaven through the Tongtian Sacrifice Tower to become a god!" Lao Tzu, I will live forever in a while! ”
"Breaking through the sea of stars? Doesn't that mean to break through this dome full of stars? "No wonder the mayflies are running away in a frenzy! Is it true that what is written in the rubbing?
I watched Xu Wenbin, the madman, not only frightened, but began to open his backpack and pull out tools, and I was a little overwhelmed.
I subconsciously looked at the big hole we had fallen down from, and looked up along the cracked dome, only to see that the sacrificial tower was like a huge chimney, and there was nothing in it except countless regularly arranged bronze chains, as if it really looked like some kind of passage.
Just when I didn't know what to do, Xu Wenbin had already fastened a safety lock for mountaineering to his waist, and then took out a flying tiger claw, as if he was planning to find a place to fix the hook.
Before he could finish this series of actions, there was a sudden piercing explosion from under our feet, and almost at the same time, the entire coffin cover was suddenly pushed by something, and an angle of more than thirty degrees rose......
