Volume 2: Snow Ridge Please Spirit - Haidong Imperial Tomb Chapter 273: Bronze Kneeling Slave Statue

"More than that, what do you see in the side hall?"

Yue Guanchao saw that the doors and windows of the side hall were closed, and walked over and pushed open the door of the right side hall with a bang.

Song Siyuan turned on the flashlight and approached the dark side hall in the direction of Yue Guanchao, which showed more martyrs, almost occupying the side hall.

Look carefully, most of the martyrs in the side hall are wearing official uniforms and armor, most of them are soldiers, slaves, eunuchs, and female officials, all of them are lined up, standing neatly in the hall, the same as the palace concubines outside, their pale faces seem to be alive, but they don't feel a trace of human anger.

"In this way, I'm really curious, who is this Haidong Sheng Emperor, let's go to the back of the main room, he and the coffin must be there."

Yue Guanchao and Song returned to the main room, and Song Siyuan remembered the words of the owner and looked at the housekeeper: "If Mrs. Qionghua is buried together, then what is the tomb of Mrs. Qionghua that you have arrested, and the tomb of Mrs. Qionghua that they stolen?" ”

She has been wondering about this question since she went down to the tomb, and replied that Yinzun can write such a poem as asking for a joint burial in the depths of auspiciousness, indicating that she does have the intention of being buried with her, and if she mentions the Qionghua tomb stolen by the Tufuzi, it is mixed with a trace of bizarre color.

She had to ask the reason in advance, so as not to be dug a big hole by the Chao family again.

He bowed his head to the housekeeper and thought for a moment, and slowly looked at everyone: "This is normal, it is rumored that after the death of Mrs. Qionghua, Emperor Haidong was afraid that her tomb would be stolen and excavated, so he built twelve doubtful tombs for her, and the address we gave them was only one of the twelve doubtful tombs." ”

"Although it is a suspicious tomb, there are not a lot of burials and utensils inside, and the lotus crown is indeed real, which cannot be faked."

After listening to the words of the housekeeper, Yue Guanchao looked behind the bead curtain: "This guy is so suspicious, I doubt that he will put the real coffin here, don't be a suspicious coffin!" ”

As everyone spoke, they passed through the screen one after another, lifted the beaded curtain and came to the apse of the main room.

The top is covered with caisson wells, colorful ornaments, carved railings and paintings, and the pillars are towering, which is completely different from the front hall full of martyrs.

If you look closely, the jade is mottled white and green, moist and smooth, and the stars and silver grains are densely covered with jade tires, and the green scale dragon they have just seen in the waterhole is delicately carved on it.

This blue-scaled dragon is exactly coiled five times, floating on the wall in a posture of lying on the pit line, the scales are concave and convex, the black claws are strong and sharp, the dragon head is carved with red eyes, and the bright yellow firefly beads with the size of the fist in the mouth seem to be spitting out dragon balls, blooming with brilliance.

On the left and right sides, the colorful murals outline it, and the depictions are all the life events of Emperor Haidong Sheng from birth to death, enthronement festivals, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and taking concubines after the establishment of the emperor.

Yue Guanchao ignored these murals and concentrated on the white marble platform the size of a private house.

A: Yinzun was indeed buried with Mrs. Qionghua!

On the jade platform of about ten steps high, the two golden silk coffins are opposite to each other, under the light of the flashlight, the surface of the golden silk coffin is dazzling, if the gold silk brocade, the incomparably gorgeous gold pattern diagram emerges.

Outside the two coffins, the white marble platform evenly distributes brass kneeling slave statues on all sides.

These kneeling slaves are exactly the same size as people, with wide foreheads and square faces, Danfeng thin eyes, Buddha ears and thick eyebrows, high buns, official uniforms woven with copper and iron wires, plump and round figures, and the clothes are rich and gorgeous, facing the coffin in a kneeling posture, with their backs to the railing, holding the eight treasure marigolds in both hands, after thousands of years, there are still no decaying blue spots, glowing with red and yellow mixed light.

Among the marigolds, that is, bright yellow fluorite, they are soaked in clear oil, and the light reflects the mural with silver sparkling water lines, not candles, but brighter than candles.

Copper is the most susceptible to corrosion and rust, and once it stays in the soil for a long time, it will be covered with green rust and turn into bronze, which is the color of the underworld.

Along the way, except for the brass soaked in tung oil, all the other bronze objects were corroded by the underground spring mist, covered with blue and green markings, and everyone who saw them was very curious when they saw that these twelve kneeling slave statues were not rotten or stainless.

When they thought of the hundreds of martyrs scattered in the hall, they had to think about the brass kneeling statue and the statue of a human corpse, and before they knew it, their hairs were up.

Song Siyuan approached the brass kneeling slave statue with a flashlight, and carefully observed the surface of the brass statue.

Thinking about it, she figured out the reason why brass is stainless steel, and then it suddenly dawned:

"The Tang Dynasty did not abolish slavery, and it became a custom to buy slaves, and this kneeling slave may not be made by a real person, but the process of anti-rust of the bronze statue was used, and the surface of the copper tire was plated with a layer of transparent glass, just like a smooth afterbirth outside the porcelain, which can play a role in delaying corrosion and isolating the air."

The cat master stepped forward and looked at the bronze statue of the kneeling slave: "Song Qianjin's words reminded me of the artifact technique, the so-called artifact, which refers to the gilding, silver, and glass plating on the surface of the statue, so that the artifact is not so easy to corrode, even after decades, it is still as good as new." ”

"And that's not all."

Song Siyuan looked at everyone: "You remember the urn city we saw, there is a pool of water in the middle of the urn city, and the thousand-year-old water vapor generated in it should have soaked the walls and statues to decay and disappear a long time ago, why did we keep it as clean as new when we first saw it." ”
