Chapter 210: Beeswax Corpse House
Behind the tomb door is a front hall, the size is about 20 square meters, in the center is a long table made of bronze, in the center of the table is an empty incense burner, and a pair of incense candlesticks are placed on the left and right, which are also empty, and it should be just an ornament. On the left and right sides of the square table, there are many bronze chairs lined up, and the whole layout looks like a living room used by guests in ancient times.
After Li Yan and the ghost baby entered inside, they walked straight to the side of the passage, originally this kind of place should be cloudy and tidal, but after the temperature inside rose inexplicably, the hot and humid environment was like a sauna, and it was stuffy.
The passage is made of green bricks, about three meters high, but there is no moss, which is probably the reason why the gaps in the bricks are filled with rammed earth (a kind of ultra-high-density loess that is vacuumed).
As they walked forward, they soon found that there were many murals on the two walls of the passage, and I don't know what kind of paint was used in the road, which had basically not faded after hundreds of years, and the paintings were also very delicate, and the scene was as vivid as the real thing.
At the beginning of the mural is some battle scenes, the chasing side shaves his hair and braids, the braids hang down the back of his head, wearing thin horseshoe sleeve arrow clothes, tight socks, and deep tong boots, which should be the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and the chasing side is many shirtless, some are mostly wearing leather cloth and straw clothes, like barbarians and aborigines.
Further on, those scenes of battle dissipated and turned into scenes of worship, a man wearing a crown of the Xia Dynasty, a cyan fiery black dragon robe, and green piping was sitting on a dragon chair on a circular altar, the dragon chair was inlaid with many strange stone treasures, exuding a glazed luster, shining brightly.
The pictures depicted in the murals at both ends are a little puzzling, especially the latter part, which looks like it depicts the emperor, but the clothes worn are not yellow robes. And the dragon chair is not in the Jinluan Palace, which looks extremely weird.
The passage is very long, and it is also a slight downward trend, the two of them walked a little dull, Li Yan began to ask about some things about the ghost baby, in the conversation between the two of them, he learned that the ghost baby had been resurrected as early as seven or eight hundred years ago, and had become a golden armor corpse more than two hundred years ago, at that time his consciousness had been basically formed, and in the following time, she learned about this society through various ways, and even explored some things that ordinary people did not know. That's why she's involved in all sorts of fields.
While the two of them were talking, they had already reached the end of the passage.
Outside the passage was a hall, several times larger than the one outside, and it was pitch black overhead, and I didn't know how high the passage was. A brick road about 100 meters long leads from the passage to the front, and there is a row of stone steps at the end of the brick road. Above the stone steps is a circular building. It looks a bit like the altar in the mural, on both sides of the blue brick road is a bottomless deep ditch, you can't see the ground, the width is five or six meters long, and the altar 100 meters away is like an island in the ocean.
The layout of the hall is easy to think of the monsters that may be lurking under the ravine, and the sultry surroundings seem to hint that the fire python is probably in the ravine below. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, after entering the hall, Li Yan climbed onto Xiao Shui's back and flew towards the altar with the ghost baby one after the other.
on a circular altar. The position in the center is a crystal coffin, and there are some burial goods around it, but I don't know if it is because the texture of the crystal is rougher, the corpse in the crystal coffin can only see a vague shadow, and it can be vaguely distinguished that it is wearing the unique red flag of the Qing Dynasty, the corpse looks little different from before death, the nails and fangs have grown to four or five centimeters, it should be a zombie Undoubtedly, although I can't see what the official position is, but it should be a general of the Qing Dynasty.
More than 300 years have passed since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and the middle of Hangzhou is not a remote place, and there is no record in the official history or even the wild history that there were any Qing Dynasty generals buried in this place, but looking at this battle, compared with the general imperial tombs, who will build such a big tomb in this kind of place?
"Interesting." The ghost baby looked at it and suddenly reached out to touch the crystal coffin, and after stroking it back and forth a few times, he said, "Sure enough, it's beeswax, beeswax seals, I know whose tomb this is." ”
"Beeswax?" Li Yan muttered, and suddenly startled, "You said that this is amber outside?!" ”
The ghost baby nodded.
No way!
Li Yan was stunned.
Good boy! The crystal coffin in front of me is three meters long and one and a half meters wide, which is how big a piece is if the outside is wrapped in a layer of amber!
But listening to the ghost baby say this, sealing the museum with beeswax is really like that, generally there are some intact insects in the precious amber, that is because the amber itself is a resin wrapped layer by layer on the outside of the insect corpse, so the corpse is completely isolated from the outside world, and now copy this set to the coffin, the corpse inside will definitely ensure that it will not rot for thousands of years.
Li Yan withdrew his gaze from the crystal coffin, remembered what the ghost baby had just said, and asked, "Do you know whose tomb this is?" ”
The ghost baby replied, "Have you heard of Dodor? ”
"Duoduo? Are you talking about the son of Huang Taiji? That Dolgon's brother? Li Yan pointed to the crystal coffin and said with a shocked face, "You don't want to tell me that he is lying inside, right?" ”
The ghost baby shook his head: "No, it's just his son, his fourth son, Aixinjue Rochani." ”
"This ...... I don't really know. Li Yan told the truth, after all, he didn't study history, the emperor has so many sons, if he is not famous, it is unlikely that he will know him, and even if he has heard of it, he will forget it long ago.
"It's normal that you don't know each other, this Chani is actually unknown, and the only time he went on an expedition as a commander was to Yunnan to conquer the Nanban, and he was cut off his title because of the crime of retreating, but ......" The ghost baby changed his words, "The real reason for this Chani withdrawal is only known to a few people, and one of them recorded this secret." ”
"What's the secret?" Li Yan suddenly became interested when he heard this.
"Beeswax seals the museum, immortality." The ghost baby looked at the crystal coffin and said with some disdain, "Do you know that those royal nobles will want to live a little longer after they have power, and when they really find that they can't live, they will think about how to be reborn, and when they are at the end of their lives, they will become something like us, even if they are lucky enough to be born with thoughts, they have no memory, and they are reborn." ”
Ghost Shadow had an old-fashioned feeling when she said this, the way she spoke was already very incompatible with her immature face, and now she said such a profound word, giving people an indescribable weirdness.
But hearing her say this, Li Yan thought of the mural in the passage again, and he also had some understanding of this Chani, the first half of the mural should describe the scene of the battle between Chani's army and the Southern Barbarian soldiers, as for the second half, it should be the scene where he accepted everyone's worship on this altar, looking at the meaning of the painting, he should not be as simple as wanting to be reborn, it seems that he still wants to live to be an emperor.
"Let's open the museum." The ghost baby said to Li Yan, and reached out to grab the lid of the crystal coffin.
"Wait, just open it like that?" Li Yan said with some concern, "This fire python is likely to be nearby, what if this Chani wakes up and screams and wakes it up?" ”
"Is there a better way? And this guy has been dead for more than three hundred years, I don't know much about this beeswax sealing hall, but the growth rate should be faster than the average similar kind. The ghost baby said, his hand was pressed to the crystal coffin, and with a "bang", the beeswax was torn apart directly, and the entire lid was lifted.
After the lid was lifted, the person in the coffin, who was still a little vague, was also fully revealed, he was wearing the orthodox costume of a Qing Dynasty general, and he wore a gold-inlaid helmet on his head, and a copper pipe with a tasseled gun was erected in the middle of the helmet. A metal heart guard is worn on the chest of the upper body of the armor, and a trapezoidal belly guard is worn at the seam of the placket under the mirror. There are two scarbs on the lower body, and a tiger head covering the knees in the middle place, and the whole garment is intact, just like new.
In fact, not only the clothing, but even the body is intact, the person in the coffin has upright facial features, a little stubble under the chin, and the whole face is full of vicissitudes, which belongs to a battle-hardened mark, but the skin has not seen a single ulcer or atrophy, if it were not for the sharp fangs and dark green nails, this is really no different from when he was just buried, it is hard to imagine that this is the body of more than three hundred years past.
The heart shield reflected Xiao Shui's red eyes, which looked a little weird, not like the color that copper products should have, Li Yan wanted to take a closer look, but at this moment, the eyes of the corpse suddenly "clicked" and opened. (To be continued......)
