Volume 2: Snow Ridge Please Ling - Haidong Imperial Mausoleum Chapter 311: Red Gold and Bronze Jane
Yue Guanchao saw that the hallucination was in front of him, and he believed in the words of the cat master in his heart, although Song Siyuan felt that the creature in front of him was incredible, but he also believed that this thing was a mirage: "In this way, this thing is really a legendary mirage, and the ability of Yin Zun is not small, and he can even catch it and tame it into a beast." ”
"Let's look for the body of this thing again, maybe we can find the antidote that the butler said~"
After finishing speaking, several people completely flattened the shell of the mirage, and used the dagger in their hands to cut the heavy mirage meat, after all, the flesh of the snow-white mirage has grown for thousands of years, and it has become extremely firm and strong, and they have to scrape off the mucus every time they cut it, and when the body is completely cut, an hour has passed.
"This mirage is really poor, it's just such a broken bead all over its body, and there is nothing else, we are busy working in vain."
Yue Erpao wiped the sweat from her head, and complained in her mouth, but Song Siyuan still didn't give up, and continued to grope in the bloody and unpleasant minus. ”
Then, with all her might, she pulled out the cold thing, took it in the light and wiped it away from the bloody flesh, and looked at it without knowing what it was.
"This thing, how does it look like a bamboo slip~"
Yue Guanchao looked at this strange thing.
This thing is half an inch shorter than half an arm, a turn thicker than the wrist, like an ancient bamboo slip rolled into a cylinder, with a chain to connect the thumb thickness of the simple piece, etched on the surface of the dragon python, flowers, birds, insects and fish and other strange patterns, the luster is like a thousand years buried in the ground of the dog's head gold, exuding a simple and heavy atmosphere!
"It can't be a sin removal Jane, right?"
The cat master looked at this thing, his eyes were full of joy, and he stroked his goatee and explained to everyone:
"I remember that when Li Tang Dynasty, Empress Wu Zhou once ordered craftsmen to make three golden slips of heavenly officials, earth officials, and water officials to throw them in the famous mountains and rivers, and wanted to eliminate the sins with the confessional pictures and texts in the golden slips, which is a ritual to ask for forgiveness, and the old man wanted to answer Yinzun for the wanton martyrdom and slaughter before he died, will he also make a golden slip to remove the sin, so as to exonerate himself after his death, so as not to be punished by the Yin Si."
"In the eyes of people now, it is nonsense, but the ancients believed in ghosts and gods very much, and if Yin Zun did this, it would be reasonable."
Song Siyuan listened to the words of the cat master and weighed the slip: "I don't think it's like it, if it's a gold slip, then it's not this weight, the gold density is very pressing, how to say that such a big slip has a few catties, and it is difficult to lift it with one hand." ”
"Look at what I have in my hand again, it only has a golden luster but only slightly presses my hand, obviously it is just a gold-plated thing, I guess it is copper or iron inside, let's open it and take a look."
Song Siyuan untied the buckle on Jian Mu's waist, she didn't know if the chain was corroded, she could only slowly turn it out, and when Jian Mu was completely flattened, everyone finally saw the true face of Jian Mu.
After the slip is flattened, about half a meter wide, the slip near the left hand is etched with the ancient seal in regular script, and the five big characters of the "ancestral vein and soul map" are engraved with the gongbi seal, and there is no other text.
Look further to the right, that is, the Ancestral Vein Soul Map!
These pieces are intertwined with each other in chains, just to form a complete plane, and on this smooth mirror-like simple piece, etching a very strange Gongbi landscape painting, which is divided into four parts from top to bottom:
The first part is the colorful clouds and the thin red sun in the sky, and the golden light swaying all things, with an indescribable sense of sacredness.
The second part further down is depicted with handsome and verdant peaks, vaguely visible clouds and mist, craggy mountains and rocks, clear springs and bells, and even wild beasts perched and foraging, with a rushing aura.
When everyone looked at the third part, the style of the picture changed abruptly!
The thousands of grottoes are like beehives and ant nests, full of holes of different sizes, dotted with deep mountains and rivers, boundless and unbreakable, these caves seem to have been abandoned, scattered everywhere with broken walls and collapsed houses.
In the last part, there is a clear shift from landscapes to depictions of people.
Some of the eunuch generals wearing the crown of Jinxian were arrayed in rows, holding wat and wearing swords standing on the pedestal with fluttering flags, and thousands of slaves with their hands and feet tied kneeling around them, their expressions seemed to have seen ghosts, either afraid or wailing, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.
It's just that the expressions on the faces of these priests are not reverent, gloomy and worried, as if they are afraid or restless, and with the clear weather and thousands of caves, there is a sense of irreparable separation, which makes people's hearts breathe a sigh of relief.
The whole picture is made of ore pigments mixed with snow clam oil, and the surface is gilded with a transparent outer glaze, even after thousands of years, it has not faded and cracked, maintaining a clear and bright appearance, if it is not for the chain being corroded and full of patina, this thing does not look like an object thousands of years ago.
"Ancestral Soul Diagram, what exactly does this picture depict?"
For a while, Song Siyuan really couldn't understand what Jian Mu's painting meant, she searched for the treasured picture scrolls she had seen, and she didn't know that there were ancient paintings in history with the name of "Ancestral Vein Soul Map"!
