Volume 1 Yu Yue Continuation Chapter 021 Bronze Man
After the first two adventures, I have adapted to this environment, but there is still a strong sense of depression in my heart. After entering, I found that the cave was very spacious and profound, like a theater, and there were several black holes in the stone wall in the distance. Directly in front of it, there is a one-man high platform, with steps on all sides, very similar to the scene in the movie, and in the center of the platform, there is a stone case with a sword inserted on it.
"This should be the altar of the ancients, sacrificing to the heavens and the earth, extremely pious, if it is a trap, it is impossible to set it on the altar!" I thought to myself.
The sword stood in the center, and it was a terrifying yin spirit, similar to a stone lion in front of the building, and I thought of this and strode away and walked up. As soon as I got on the platform, I noticed that the stone case was engraved with fine words on all sides, which were strange and incomprehensible. As soon as the flashlight shone, the bronze sword flashed with blue light, straight into the stone, and the sword body was carved with fine rhombic dark lines, without a trace of rust, revealing an indescribable classical beauty.
Many of the techniques of the ancients were far ahead of their time. In March 194, a batch of bronze swords were unearthed from the No. 2 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit of Qin Shi Huang, which were still as bright as new and extremely sharp. Upon examination, it was found that the surface of the sword was coated with a layer of chromium salt ten microns thick. This discovery immediately caused a sensation all over the world, and this "chromium salt oxidation" treatment process was an invention of the twentieth century. The reason why the most prestigious Yue Wang Goujian sword in history can be stainless for thousands of years is also that the sword is plated with a layer of chromium-containing metal. During the first crossing of the No. 1 pit, it was found that a bronze sword had been bent by a terracotta figurine weighing 150 kilograms, and the degree of bending was more than 45 degrees. When the archaeologists removed the terracotta figurines, a miracle occurred: the thin and narrow bronze sword bounced straight in an instant, and it recovered naturally. Fortunately, these unbelievable objects have been excavated by modern people, otherwise they would have to be labeled as "mythical imagination".
I looked at the words carefully, circled around the stone table, and shook my head in confusion. Then, close to the sword body, leaned over and turned on the flashlight to look carefully, and his head suddenly shook, "Xia Yu sword?!" ”
I raised my head, and my eyes shot infinite surprise, "This is the legendary 'Xia Yu' sword!" Xia Yu sword, legend has it that it was cast by Dayu in the Xia Dynasty. "Famous Sword Record" records: "Xia Yu cast a sword, Tibetan Hui Ji Mountain, engraved on the abdomen twenty-eight nights, the text has a back, the text is the sun, moon and stars, and the mountains and rivers are remembered. I can't think of it, I can't think of it! ”
I praised it, and I couldn't wait to hold the sword in my heart, and while admiring, I thought: "The carvings around this stone case must be all charms. This sword followed King Yu to fight, killing countless people, and the evil aura on the sword, with charms, is enough to deter all demons. The sword is here to prevent evil spirits from entering! ”
However, I soon realized that the danger might have quietly approached me, and Xia Yujian was here to show that there must be something extraordinary here, and fear suddenly came to my head, my heart was heavy, like a plumb hammer, and the sound of footsteps was trivial and dull.
After walking for a few minutes, I saw it clearly when I got closer - there were nine holes in the stone walls on three sides, and they were eerie like nine mouths. I then stopped, and turned my head to look, nervous and anxious, looking dazed, as if I was standing at the entrance of a labyrinth.
"There seems to be a word on the edge of this hole." When I approached, I looked closer, and there seemed to be a black line of words on the edge of the cave, and my heart suddenly trembled.
I saw that the characters on it were fonts that were closer to this generation, most of them were around the Ming Dynasty, and I quickly thought that before we arrived, the only thing I had set foot here was the footprints of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. There was nothing incomprehensible about the words, but to my consternation, there was a line written on them: Forbidden Land for the Living.
Even the Yin Si Enchantment is not a forbidden place for the living, and these four big characters make him shudder down his spine. However, there is no other way ahead, if they go home, wouldn't it be a trip in vain, they have gone through all kinds of twists and turns, not just to find out what is going on, and how can they run away because of the four words written on it.
So, I took a long breath, turned on my flashlight, and strode on. As soon as I entered the cave, my heart jumped suddenly. The roadway is three meters wide and spacious. The knife was in his trouser pocket, one hand holding the flashlight and the other against the wall. I tense my face all the way, and I can live in a dead place, again and again, when will I be able to survive until the end.
After walking for ten minutes and turning four times, the roadway seemed to be endless. I was the only one who spoke, and the only thing in my ears was the sound of my own dull footsteps. Suddenly, I stopped, stretched my neck and looked, a little yellow light flashed in the distance, spots of different sizes, blurred, dense, like thousands of oil lamps; Nearby, the spot is large and bright, as if shining on the mirror, faintly revealing the surrounding pieces of dusky yellow strips, presumably copper.
Suddenly, I turned sideways and stared at the stone wall, as if I had found something, "Who?" A word blurted out.
I saw a dark figure standing by the wall, his shoulders hunched, his hair unkempt, and the slight sound of nails scratching metal in his ears. But when I walked in, I found that the black shadow was motionless, and it turned out to be a bronze figure. I paid attention to the forbidden ring on my hand, and there was nothing abnormal, so I walked over, but I didn't expect that as soon as I passed by the bronze figure, I suddenly felt a wisp of wind blowing behind me, and when I looked back, the bronze figure was no longer in place, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
It was too late, it was too fast, and I immediately pulled out the short knife, and at this moment, there was another gust of wind behind me, and I immediately turned around, and with a fierce stab, I was about to kill it in one fell swoop. I didn't know that my knife went down, and I almost shattered the tiger's mouth, as if I hit a rock, and then I wanted to withdraw to defend, but I didn't want to hear a crisp sound of "bang", and a black shadow shattered into pieces in front of me.
I looked at the debris on the ground stupidly, I couldn't believe my eyes, I couldn't understand why this bronze man would attack him on his own, it seemed to me that unless it was a mechanically controlled "robot", this hulking bronze man would not be able to attack himself with such agility anyway.
"It's not like there's a spirit attached to it, and the ban doesn't react at all." I said to myself.
On closer inspection, this bronze figure is quite similar to the bronze statue unearthed in Sanxingdui. Sanxingdui unearthed cultural relics, the age of the middle of the Shang Dynasty, in 1986 in Sichuan Guanghan Sanxingdui No. 1 and No. 2 sacrificial pits unearthed a batch of very special bronze statues, these heads have ordinary human heads, as well as the heads of people wearing gold masks.
The bronze statues of Sanxingdui are the most abundant and valuable for research. The bronze statue group of Sanxingdui is a group of authorities and idols worshiped by people, which not only symbolizes the gods, earthly gods, ancestral gods, etc., but also represents secular leaders or spiritual leaders such as kings and wizards, showing the social form and group relationship of the unity of man and god and the integration of politics and religion in the ancient Shu Kingdom. Their excavations fill a gap in the bronze figure sculptures of the Shang Dynasty in China and the early Chinese idolatry.
"What is the origin of this bronze man, could it be that there was a technology comparable to modern civilization as early as four or five thousand years ago?" I couldn't help but have a very trance question, between which the bronze figure had a thin face, a solemn expression, and piercings in his ears, presumably used to wear earrings.
"Ancient witchcraft may die out with the passage of time, but if such an ancient civilization really existed in the world, I don't believe anything, someone must be pretending to be a ghost."
I picked up the bronze man's mask, and was surprised to find that there was an ancient corpse hidden under the mask, shining with light, and it was extremely weird. He had seen many times how the jade maid could preserve the corpse, but this bronze man could also hide the corpse, and this was the first time I had seen it. The ancient corpse was purple, but its face was very well preserved, and there were patches of patina on it.
"I'm afraid that this ancient corpse is the key to making the bronze man move, if he picks up the corpse in the bronze armor, it makes sense, but how can the forbidden ring not react?" I thought of the sound of my nails scratching the metal I had just heard, and the scratching sound stood out in the oppressive space.
"Unless this thing is older than the Divine Contract......"
I've experienced so many strange things, and my mental endurance is extraordinary, but the sight in front of me is still creepy and chilling. I raised my flashlights and shone them around, and some of them turned the flashlight to the brightest and shot it into the distance.
"The corpses here are full of energy, and they are no ordinary corpse monsters." I already knew in my heart what I was up against.
I examined the ancient corpse, and although it was abnormal, I couldn't solve the mystery myself, so I had to leave it behind and move on. After walking for a short time, he found two more headless corpses lying nearby, similar in appearance to the ancient corpses of the bronze man, but the heads were gone, and no heads were found nearby. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the two heads were even more daring to look at, and it was uncomfortable to glimpse.
After a few minutes of walking along the stone wall, I found a spacious place. The stone wall happens to be recessed into a piece, like a haven. Walking further in, I saw a huge cave hall, there is a pure black copper lamp in the middle, standing upright in the sky, the copper lamp makes the shape of a coiling dragon, vigorous and simple.
On one side of the cave hall, there is a stone wall, on which there is a very ancient petroglyph with a pattern of flying dragons and clouds. In front of the petroglyphs, a bronze coffin is placed. The bronze hanging coffin, not less than one meter above the ground, and the height of the coffin was nearly two meters, and the end was a behemoth, which was tied several turns with chains, reinforced with nine locks, and hung on the top floor of the tomb with sixteen large copper rings, which may be connected by a load-bearing copper beam.
When I got closer, the coffin lid was incomparably beautiful, painted with crimson cloud patterns and dragon patterns, and the two golden dragons were shining with gold and silver, rising from the clouds, as if they were about to rush out of the board. This simple and majestic beauty shocks the whole body, like a breath of air spreading through the pores of the body.
"This ......," I couldn't help but sigh when I saw this bronze coffin, "this should be something from the Han Dynasty, and the lacquerware of the Han Dynasty is a model of handicrafts, and it is extremely difficult to imitate now." ”
"Heavenly Creations" commented that the lacquerware at that time was "a cup with the power of 100 people, a screen for 10,000 people", for the sake of luxury, completely sparing no financial resources and manpower. First, the base is made with raw lacquer, and then the paint is painted with oil and juice, and then the pattern is engraved with the tip of a needle, which is called a cone painting.
I carefully examined a rhombic pattern, filled the seams carved with gold dust, creating a pattern similar to the gold and silver mistakes on bronze objects, and finally pasted gold or silver leaf, so that the pattern was as delicate and detailed as a gongbi painting. He praised and sighed again and again, and his saliva was about to flow out.
