Chapter 127: The Strange Door
This main tomb road is a metaphor for the process of the tomb owner's ascension to heaven and reincarnation, so there will never be a situation where the tomb road crosses on the main tomb road, because the ancients believed that if the main tomb road forks in the road, the soul of the tomb owner will be lost, so that it cannot be reincarnated to heaven.
The passage we are in now is not a transportation hub, because it should be very close to the main tomb road, and when it is built, it will try to avoid forks in the road, and this should be the second function, that is, to prepare for the front temple.
As for what to prepare, there are many more, such as the storage of sacrifices, the preparation of ceremonies, some renderings of beliefs, etc., in short, existence is reasonable, and there is always a meaning of existence in the hall here. And there are indeed a lot of bottles and cans here, and there are also many mysterious murals on the walls on both sides, which are nothing more than slaying demons and the like.
The second uncle told me before that he once poured a big bucket in a pot, and after they passed through the tomb, they also found a hall room before sacrificing to the underworld.
After they entered, they looked at both sides with their flashlights, and they saw two rows of sheep standing against the walls on both sides! Look at them straightly! For a while, several people were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.
The sheep has been completely shriveled, many people know that the dried corpses of people look terrifying, in fact, the dried corpses of animals are sometimes more terrifying, more than a dozen pairs of protruding sheep eyes look at them, frightened, several people almost have a heart attack in advance!
When they entered, they found that the sheep were strung with iron skewers and stood there, apparently as sacrificial offerings. But come to think of it, maybe this is also a trick that the owner of the tomb deliberately played to scare people.
And now we are in the hall without this kind of means, probably because the owner of the tomb does not look down on this kind of gadget at all, after all, people use super giant human-faced beetles, or ancient relics such as squids, and at the most time, tens of thousands of beetles. The scare may make it difficult for the owner of the tomb here to get into it.
So this way we went quite smoothly, and soon came to the end of the hall, where there is a similar shadow wall, carved with the image of the leader of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, the beak of the human face bird has two wings on its back, for the content of this carving, we still have some doubts, we don't know whether this image is the true appearance of King Shan Huan, or the product of the deification of his descendants.
However, I always think that the latter is more likely, although there are indeed more strange people here, such as the kind of weirdos with slender limbs and faces, but after all, that kind of weirdos are not so strange that they are out of the basic structure of the human body. But the beak of a human-faced bird and the wings on its back are a bit beyond our comprehension.
We walked through the shadow wall, and there was a small space in front of us, about 20 square meters. On the wall directly opposite the shadow wall, there were indeed two strange-looking doors, and in front of them was a stone tripod.
This stone tripod is a bit special, generally in the tombs of the pre-Qin period, the stone tripod is more common than the bronze tripod, and after the Han Dynasty, the bronze tripod became more popular in the tomb. Therefore, the stone tripod in the ancient tomb of the pre-Qin Dynasty is generally huge to highlight the prominent identity of the tomb owner, but the stone tripod in front of us is not large compared to the level of the tomb of King Shan Huan. But what makes it special is that it has a delicate pattern, and I can't imagine that it was possible to carve such a detailed pattern under the level of craftsmanship and mechanical conditions at that time, and it has not broken for thousands of years, and this technology really amazes me.
Compared with the delicacy and meticulousness of Shi Ding, the two doors are extremely simple, and they are not ordinary simplicity, so simple that there is not even a pattern on the door, and even the door panel is not so flat.
We gathered around to take a look, but found that the two doors were made of a very special material, not made of stone. But it can't be wood, these two doors have gone through thousands of years, if it was a wooden door, it would have rotted a long time ago, but the two doors not only did not show signs of decay, but revealed a luster similar to metal, which is obviously not bronze, because after the oxidation of bronze, it is impossible to produce luster, is it some kind of special metal?
We couldn't see any reason for these two strange doors, so the eyes of several of us were all on Wenmo, if anyone here could possibly see some doorways, then only Wenmo!
Wen Mo raised the flashlight and stepped forward to take a closer look at the two doors, then the short knife in his hand slashed them, looked at them carefully, and finally sniffed them with his nose.
I asked curiously, "Boss, what kind of material is this?" ”
Wen Mo said two words, "Wood!" ”
"Wooden doors?" Hearing Wenmo's words, everyone was shocked, "How is this possible?" What kind of wood can be preserved for thousands of years in such an environment? ”
Wen Mo reached out and touched the two doors, "This is made from the trunk of the ancient Uznamu tree!" ”
The others didn't know what was going on, but me, Kong Xue, and Shi Tao immediately understood, and the three of us glanced at each other, and we all saw the shock in each other's eyes! I didn't expect this ancient tree to be so magical, not only to be able to bear the kind of fruit that is said to be miraculous, but also the tree itself is so different! It's a pity that the ancient Uzinamu tree has long been extinct, otherwise I would really like to see it!
Lantern Xiao didn't know what we were talking about, so she asked, "What is the Uznamu Ancient Tree?" ”
I told him that the ancient tree of Uznamu was a miraculous tree that had grown here thousands of years ago or even earlier, and its fruit was called Didan, which was rumored to have the effect of reviving the dead!
Lantern Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? If we can find such one, we will not be rich! ”
I nodded, and my heart said that my second uncle would have five, but I didn't say it.
Lantern Xiao walked to the door, groped lightly, and looked at his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't remove it, otherwise he would even want to carry the door away! I can't help but sigh, this King Shan Huan is really generous, using this kind of sacred wood as a door, I don't know if there will be Uzi Namu in his funeral goods.
We stood in front of the door and looked around, and suddenly found that there was a very shallow stone trough on the ground under the door, which extended from the door to the position of the stone tripod.
"What is this?" Kong Xue looked at it and said.
To be honest, I didn't understand it for a while, and I wanted to ask Wenmo again, but at this time, Wenmo was looking at the two doors in a daze, and I didn't want to rely on Wenmo for everything, so I studied it myself.
