XLIV. Auricular chamber
It's been 4 hours since we went to the grave, and after the Blackwater Labyrinth collapsed, Fat Man and I never saw the terrible bug again, maybe dead inside, but the need for food is still the only crisis we have now.
Has walked through countless front rooms and middle rooms, there are not many burial goods in it, the glory of the past is also on the mottled walls to confirm the traces of the years, the only thing left is a small number of large terracotta figurines and town tomb figurines, the fat man said that these terracotta figurines are the works of the Qin and Han dynasties, but I can't figure out that their bodies were put on cloth clothes that do not want to correspond to the tomb owner, the preservation of cloth clothes in our eyes seems to be quite intact, I don't know what materials are used to make themselves to this day or still glamorous, I asked the fat man if he wanted to take one and go? The fat man waved his hand weakly and said, "When will you still take this thing?" ”
I guess that's what everyone who came here at that time thought, but when I turned over the terracotta figurines and put on the clothes, I saw that there were many incantations written densely with a brush inside. I hurriedly pulled the fat man back again.
The fat man looked at it roughly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "These things are the longevity clothes for those people!" The spell written on it is to detain the souls of those who are buried after death, so that they will wander in the tomb forever, not reincarnated, and protect the tomb owner. ”
"It's a very rigid way to accompany the funeral."
"But it's terracotta figurines, huh?" The fat man said, "That's weird! Why do you use terracotta figurines, but I remember that there was a period of soul detention clothes in the Tang Dynasty, and the most incomprehensible thing is that the terracotta figurines are actually still things from the Qin and Han dynasties. ”
Without much thought, we continued to walk forward, until we reached the door of this ear chamber, but saw that the middle of this ear chamber was actually blocked, this is an unusual example, the ear chamber is a place for the tomb owner to place a high-end burial goods, but even this has never been seen in archaeology, not to mention that this is actually a tomb in the dark at the door of the ear chamber.
"Damn, this world is about to change." The fat man was stunned and scolded fiercely, as we all know, the tomb is set up with a door, and the door is set up, which is called the tomb, and the rise of the tomb began in the Western Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was further popular, mostly made of stone, often carved various portraits, and inscribed the amount, or marked with official positions, names, or recorded the years and months of construction. The existing stone ques, such as the Wu Que in Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province, Wang Zhizi Que in Xindu County, Sichuan Province, and Gao Yique in Ya'an County, all belong to the tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty. But no one ever thought that there would be a tomb owner with a short-circuited brain who would put the tomb here.
"Something is wrong, this tomb." I crouched down and looked at the tomb in the ear chamber and said. I don't think there is much difference in the judgment of the ear chamber, although the direction we came from the hole in the ground, but we passed by a front room and a back room all the way There are 3 side chambers, so it proves that we still have the ear chamber left to pass, not to mention that the area of the ear chamber is not very large, we can see from the size of the tomb door.
"What's wrong?" The fat man stood there and kept wiping the upper part of the tomb with his sleeve, but he didn't have time to squat down but asked suspiciously.
"There's moss up here, there's moss on this." I swallowed, almost powerlessly to say this, because I knew that this kind of place was a tomb, and according to the construction plan, no water vapor was allowed to enter the tomb, and even if so, why was everything around it so dry, but there was such a trace of moss on this tomb?
"Moss?" The fat man was very surprised, but he didn't look down, he said that it was impossible, but he kept wiping the tomb with his hands.
"Come down and take a look." I slapped him, not because I looked like I'd seen moss like this in a book.
There is not a lot of moss on the tomb, only a little bit, and it has basically become a fossil over time, with only a few traces and some things that can become gray when touched, and this kind of thing is densely packed like some smallpox, in the form of pieces of the lower half of the tomb. But I looked at the fossil-like traces and suddenly noticed that they looked very much like the small-pane bryozoans described in the book, and the reason why they are called bryozoans is only because of the fact that their colony resembles bryophytes in appearance. At the same time, because they always live in groups, they are also called "swarm insects".
But this is a creature that lived between 378 million and 246 million years ago! How did it end up in a tomb in a tomb? My mind was in a state of confusion.
"This thing may have been dug up from the sea, so you shouldn't be surprised by what you see." The fat man said to me suddenly.
"What? Is the font on this tomb still intact? I asked.
"I'm not sure what I think, but when you go inside, the answer to everything will be revealed."
"Ear chambers?" As I spoke, I squeezed into the chamber, which was a very small room, and there were many beautiful lattices and pendants on it, but it was all bronze as far as the eye could see. I gasped, and the dense display in the ear chamber was actually all bronze.
On the lattice of the wall, there are lamps, smokers, Boshan stoves, stoves, irons, rulers, mirrors, leaky pots and other bronze utensils, these bronze utensils are the daily necessities we usually see, but now it seems that it has completely lost its appearance at that time, and the patina is all over the body and becomes like a failed clay product, no wonder no one takes them, but I can still see it. And not only these pendants are also hung with a large number of ornaments, there are a variety of beads, rings, including jade, agate, amber, crystal, glass, gold and silver, etc., both men and women, especially female surnames. and iron utensils such as hooks, scissors, and sewing needles around the ear chamber, as well as lacquerware such as coffins, boxes, tables, tables, and screens. I looked closely at the corner of the chamber and saw a skeleton, and beside the skeleton was dressed in armor was a few weapons, mainly knives and swords, and sometimes spears, halberds, and bows.
I looked the same way, as if I was in a museum with ancient artifacts. I carefully took a bronze Boshan furnace, which was a common incense burner in the Han and Jin dynasties of China. Bronze and ceramics are common. As a bronze furnace body is in the shape of a bean in the bronze, with a cover, the cover is high and pointed, hollowed, in the shape of a mountain, the mountain shape overlaps, and there are birds and beasts carved in the middle, symbolizing the legendary fairy mountain on the sea.
I have seen this kind of thing in some materials, and I can't see its exquisite appearance at all, but it is a very simple plain pattern, and in some places these plain patterns cannot even be connected from the details, that is to say, the era of bronze production has not been too perfect for the treatment of this kind of details and the necessary rulers, so I immediately gave a definition in my heart, which is the early bronze work of the Qin period.
Moreover, the earliest discovery of such a special bronze as the Boshan furnace was in the era of Qin Shi Huang, because the image on the Boshan furnace symbolizes Boshan, one of the three immortal mountains on the sea (the rest are Yingzhou and Penglai. I remember
"This is the legacy of the Qin period." I shouted to the fat man outside, "The fat man here is full of antiquities from the Qin Dynasty, basically bronze and lacquerware." ”
"So?" The fat man said that his voice gradually subdued and did not react again, and I was not in a hurry to go out but turned in the ear chamber, at this time I suddenly found that I took the armor on a corpse, this armor is relatively well preserved among many items, but I found that this armor is actually cold and piercing, and it still exudes the smell of rotting corpses, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be!
"Yin copper?" Suddenly a word came to my mind, this kind of copper is cultivated from the human body as a vessel, usually the body of a virgin, the copper refiner forcibly stuffed the best copper into the woman's body, blocked the nine orifices with cotton, and sealed it again with wax, but the only thing that can not be sealed with wax is to seal the mouth with wax, and then take the blood of an adult strong man and pour it into the good mouth that has become a vessel, and then the wax can be sealed, this time it is to seal the whole body, so that the person completely becomes an amber. Then bury the wax-sealed copper smelting "vessel" in the soil for 100 days to obtain a piece of copper containing the curse of resentment - "Yin copper", which I heard can be invulnerable to knives and guns, and water and fire are not immersed.
This practice is actually a bit similar to something like witchcraft, in the early days of Southeast Asia, I have seen in some wild histories that many explorers of the Qin period reached the Pacific Ocean, and it was at that time that they learned some strange witchcraft.
There are a lot of readings about this kind of history.,But they're never received by the official history.,So a lot of this kind of information disappears little by little.,I also remember where I saw these things.,Just vaguely remember.,I scratched my brain.,It's not a thing before amnesia! How could you not remember? "Gan Lao? It is the library of Sword River. "I finally remembered that at that time I read a lot of books in the library of Jianhe, many of which were wild histories, so for me it was like a novel drawing, and I remember reading a lot of them at that time.
Shaking my head, I suddenly heard the sound of the fat man calling me out, I hurriedly put the body away, and wanted to get out and leave, but at this moment I saw that the bronze armor was actually printed in a picture scroll, a mountain, under the refraction of the light. But soon my flashlight moved, and the mountain disappeared again, replaced by a strip in the shape of a ripple of water.
Suddenly, it seemed to me that there was a great moral here.
