Chapter 63: The Yellow Intestine Question
As if sensing Qin Zhen's slightly rapid breathing, Yudong stopped and turned his head to look at Qin Zhen, and then asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"Ahh It's okay! Keep going..."Qin Zhen said with a strong face.
Yudong nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to walk down. The passage is so narrow that it is difficult for two people to walk side by side. What's more, this city is underground, and this dark passage is equivalent to the underground underground, and the feeling of depression can be imagined.
If you restore this royal city, then the part of the palace above is on the ground, and this part here is just underground, which can be regarded as a two-story building. This secret passage is integrated with the palace, and the walls on both sides are all bricks. The bluestone steps at the foot are neat and neat, which shows that the craftsmanship was extremely meticulous when it was built. This made Qin Zhen suddenly have an illusion, as if this part of the underground had to take more effort than the palace on the ground.
At this time, Yudong in front suddenly stopped. Qin Zhen, who was behind him, couldn't see what was going on. He patted Yudong on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?" Do you also suffer from claustrophobia? ”
Yu Dong didn't speak, and hurriedly glanced back at Qin Zhen, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This was really uncommon for Yudong's 10,000-year-old calm gaze, which also made Qin Zhen even more curious about what he saw. So Qin Zhen squeezed sideways, and stood next to Yudong close to Yudong and the wall. When his searchlight also shone downward, Qin Zhen also opened his mouth wide in surprise, stunned.
Seeing Qin Zhen's stunned appearance, Yu Dong opened his mouth and said, "It's not a matter if it's all blocked here, let's go down first." With that, Yudong pulled Qin Zhen down. At this point, it didn't take many steps to reach the end. When everyone walked out of the narrow tunnel, nine strong lights shone on the scene in front of them at the same time, and everyone was stunned one by one.
Yellow intestine problem!
How is that possible? Qin Zhen repeated these five words in his heart over and over again--- 'How is it possible'. It is estimated that the reason why everyone can be so shocked is also because of these five words. Here, they can reluctantly accept how terrifying and weird things they see, but seeing the yellow intestine question in this place is unacceptable, it is simply impossible!
What is the yellow intestine problem? The earliest was the funeral norm of Zhou Tianzi. Later, it was popular in the Qin and Han dynasties, and it was a special burial system with the highest imperial rank. Let's just say that all the conjectures of scholars in the world today about the coffin of Qin Shi Huang stay on the bronze coffin or the wooden coffin. However, most Chinese scholars who have studied Chinese culture more deeply prefer wooden coffins. Why? It is because of the Qin Shi Huang who unified China, boasted of the Five Emperors with his merits, and created the First Empire of China, should not miss the Yellow Intestine Question exclusive to the Emperor and the Son of Heaven!
With such a high status of burial, Kun Mo is gallant? How dare you build such a foul tomb without permission?
Yellow intestine refers to the peeled cypress that has been peeled and then cut into a boxy piece of cypress. The color of the cypress wood heart is light yellow and beautiful, so it is called yellow intestine. This structure refers to a kind of outer coffin made of wood. That is, outside the coffin, the cypress wood is tiled layer by layer, and the end is perpendicular to the wall of the coffin inward. It's as if the coffin is made of wood.
In front of you, the cypress trees here are all facing north-south. There are tenons sticking out at both ends, forming a huge wooden cabinet. But anyone who knows a little bit about this aspect, when they see this scene, how can they not think of the yellow intestine problem?
However, the use of this special burial system was limited to the emperor and his wives and concubines, and occasionally there were favored ministers authorized by the emperor for hard work. But in any case, this almost belongs to the royal burial system in the Qin and Han dynasties. No matter how the feng shui turns around, it will never be possible to turn to this little Wusun King!
According to historical records, 'the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is twenty zhang high, two zhang on all sides, and the yellow intestine inscription is made up with the coffin and yellow intestine' Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself used this kind of burial system. How could he possibly grant such a concession to the king of a small country in the Western Regions? It is impossible to set up such a privilege for the daughter of a criminal minister!
Therefore, it is too unimaginable and unbelievable to see this kind of tomb structure here! There must be something unknown in this!
But although they all knew it in their hearts, everyone stood outside the topic, not knowing how to start or where to go. This cypress wall was so mysterious and strange in front of their eyes, that everyone was overwhelmed. That's what's weird here. Yellow intestine inscriptions are usually seen in vertical burials. And here it comes at this weird downhill angle. Could it be that the craftsmen of the time were still not familiar with this burial structure?
Although Gu Jie didn't know the truth of this cypress wall, he also knew that this thing must be extraordinary. At this time, he asked Yudong in a low voice, "Dongshao?" That's what you say there must be a way out... Yes? Let's go to the grave ourselves? Eh no, I'm wondering, why is the king so grandson? Building a burial chamber beneath the princess's palace? What kind of perverted psychology is this? ”
After Qin Zhen calmed down, he carefully looked at the surrounding environment. The huge underground space seems to be full of this coffin. If you want to leave without turning back, you have to go through. But looking at the high wooden 'wall'...... Qin Zhen thought about it, turned around and said to everyone, "You said that this could not be built for Princess Xijun?" ”
Yan Jun frowned and said, "No... The tomb of Princess Hosojun has been found. Although it is also in Xinjiang, but..."
Without waiting for Yan Jun to finish speaking, Qin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Dude, after this trip, I don't believe in any superficial phenomena anymore!" Yumen Pass can be a disguise, let alone a mere and princess's tomb? We still have to look beyond the phenomenon and look at the essence..."
"It's... It's not easy to 'peel it off', right? Yan Jun replied with some embarrassment.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Yan Jun's last words. Because it's a big job to see the 'essence' of this!
Yu Dong also tapped the wood in front of him with his hand at this time, and then said, "This is indeed cypress." Even if the prince used this burial system, he would not use cypress wood, but other wood instead. What kind of reason did King Wusun have to build this yellow intestine question at the risk of destroying the country? ”
"I don't believe that he is an old husband and a young wife, and he is specially built for the princess. Moreover, it's hard to say whether it is a fine gentleman buried here. Qin Zhen said firmly.
Gu Jie scratched his head when he listened, and said impatiently, "Who is buried inside, won't you know if you go in!" It's just a pile of rotten wood, not a concrete wall! After thousands of years, it's already bad! Why are you all crying and sad? Grass, this place is really more than a land! Look, it's a dead end again, right? Unless we walk through this pile of wood and find an exit from the other end! ”
Qin Zhen shook his head helplessly, smiled miserably, and said, "Old Gu, these are not the bad and rotten broken wood you think. I tell you, if it were really a concrete wall, we might be able to blow it up. But do you know that how many godlike tomb robbers throughout the ages have regarded this yellow intestine as a nemesis? Because it just can't be blown up. ”
"Why?" Gu Jie asked dumbfounded.
"Why? Think about it with your brain, why is this a special burial system for emperors? There must be something unique about it! Unless you lift the ground up on it, or you turn into a centipede and crawl over it. Otherwise, who can approach the coffin? Now there are several known yellow intestine inscriptions, which are dozens of meters long and dozens of meters wide, extending to the end. Tell me, how many explosives do you need to blow up this 'rotten wood'? What's more, people are all vertical tombs, if you look here, there is no space. ”
When Qin Zhen said this, Gu Jie was also a little depressed. If that's the case, it's a complete dead end now.
At this moment, Qin Zhen and Yu Dong's eyes lit up at the same time, and then they almost said in unison, "Here... Could it be to hide something? ”
"Zhen Guobi?!" Lao Shen, they also reacted!
Yes, Lao Shen said that the Zhen Guobi in the mission forty years ago is very likely to fall on Wusun. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that this place is in the name of Xijun, using the special burial system of the Han Dynasty to hide something. Because who would have thought that there would be a burial chamber under a palace city? Even if the burial chamber is found, this strange structure with no burial goods, who will blow it up with a lot of gunpowder?
And it can't be blown up here at all, if the firepower is too small to blow up in order to rob the tomb, and the firepower is too great, it may be blown up along with the coffin, and it will even collapse. When the time comes, don't explain the device, even the tomb owner will be buried deep in the ground without even looking at it. This kind of heartless deed is something that no one will do. Therefore, King Wusun took advantage of this and took the Han family's national treasure for himself, hiding it in the most dangerous and safest place.
