Chapter 855: Golden Rainbow Horse Lantern

This instantaneous change made everyone curious and looked around the courtyard.

In this neon stacked light, the golden glazed tiles on the palace, tower, and tower continue to refract the light, reflecting the roof of the building like a bright galaxy, and the light is endless.

Between the colors and shadows of this light, the sky, which was originally shaped like pitch black, was now covered by strange streamers, as if there were clouds covering the dome, and the rainbow in the courtyard reflected the green tiles of the golden roof, making it more and more difficult to see that the tomb palace was not very real.

Yue Guanchao looked up at the top of their heads, where they were headed, there was just a neon stacked light cluster, and most of the light they saw came from the reflection of these light clusters.

"What is this? Could it be that we have touched some mechanism again? We didn't do anything just now! ”

He recalled that just now, apart from standing in the verandah, they had come to the courtyard to look at the burnt dummies, and they had not touched any mechanism.

Song Siyuan stared at the fly ash, seeing that the fly ash was still flying, and slowly explained: "It should be fly ash." ”

Then, she looked at everyone cautiously: "Sun Daqiao said just now that the ever-bright lamp in the tomb is ignited by the air using bone phosphorus, and after the air disappears, these things will be extinguished. ”

"So, what does the dome above us shine?"

Everyone could clearly see that the dome was round, and the range was just enough to completely cover the tomb, as if there was a neon cloud overhead.

Song Siyuan continued to explain: "This is the point I want to say, I suspect that the colored light of the dome is also bone phosphorus soaked in fire oil, and when these flying ashes float to the dome, they will ignite them, and the light we see will appear, but the dome is probably made of some mechanism that can make bone phosphorus exist for thousands of years and emit different colors of light." ”

Speaking of this, everyone looked at the top of their heads, and the appearance of this dome was indeed a little unexpected.

Sun Daqiao took out his glasses from his pocket and stared at the dome carefully for a long time, so that he could determine what it was, he suddenly realized, and rubbed his eyelids that were shaken out of tears: "This thing, if you guess correctly, is the fire dance golden rainbow of the Northern Song Dynasty." ”

"Fire Dancing Golden Rainbow?"

Everyone looked at Sun Daqiao curiously.

Since they all came up with this name, he continued to explain: "As mentioned in the Song Dynasty's "Tokyo Menghualu", Bianjing is a city with a population of more than one million, developed trade and prosperous commerce, and shops are open all night. ”

What is Fire Dancing Golden Rainbow?

The prosperity of trade in the Northern Song Dynasty brought about the development of handicrafts, and all walks of life had new things.

The lamp is made of countless colorful silk cloths, which are made in the form of lanterns in the form of bowl-sized balls, and the outer surface is sewn with monochrome cloth or color-blocked cloth, and oil lamps can be lit in the lanterns.

At the same time, the outside of the lantern is equipped with brass sequins and glass sequins, and all of them are installed on the bottom wheel full of small glass lanterns, and all the lanterns are protected with glass shades.

As long as the rocker arm is turned, these runners will drive the lanterns on it to rotate together, the lanterns are lit, the color of the cloth is directly reflected on the glass lamp, in the form of colored light, the glass lampshade is reflected like a cloud, if you wait for the sequins to beat frequently in the rotation, it looks like a rainbow beats and rotates in the firelight, therefore, it is named the fire dance golden rainbow.

This kind of fire dance golden rainbow lantern is mostly used in the magic temple fair, some craftsmen will also hang a leather film in front of the lamp, just wait for the lamp to start turning, as if people are running a horse, every time the golden rainbow lantern is lit, it is bound to attract visitors and children to watch, it is also considered to solicit business for them, Mr. Caimen, who walks the rivers and lakes, will have such a kung fu with one hand.

It is rumored that Song Renzong listened to the words of the emperor's uncle Duanwang, and suspected that the past story of Empress Dowager Liu's "tanuki for the prince" was true, thinking that she had robbed her biological mother Li Niangniang's child, and was furious, and her relationship with Empress Dowager Liu was getting worse and worse.

How did he know that Empress Dowager Liu's civet cat for the prince had another hidden secret, back then, Li Niangniang was just a maid in the palace of Empress Dowager Liu, and it was Zhenzong who pitied her for having no children, so he had to spoil the Li family, as long as she gave birth to a child, she could pretend to be Queen Liu's child to raise her.

Later, Li Niangniang gave birth to Zhao Zhen, and was successively named the county monarch, talented, Wanyi, and Concubine Chen, this matter involves the secret of Queen Liu's childlessness, and also involves the life experience of the prince, the nature is too secret, and Zhenzong does not want the harem and ministers to know, which makes everyone keep silent, and gives an order, after that, no one can mention the origin of Renzong Zhao Zhen and Concubine Li Chen.

It can be said that the Queen Mother Liu E didn't want to tell him, but as long as she opened her mouth, she would disobey the will of the first emperor, and she could only suffer a dumb loss.

Seeing that the rumors of the tanuki changing the prince intensified, in the end, the Empress Dowager Liu really had no choice, so she had to use the golden rainbow lantern to make Li Niangniang's life and Zhenzong's affairs into shadow puppets and put them in the golden rainbow lantern, and let Zhao Zhen see, so that he could know what was going on with his biological mother Li Niangniang.

After Song Renzong watched Li Niangniang's shadow puppet show, he immediately knew that he was wrong to blame the Empress Dowager Liu, if it wasn't for the Empress Dowager Liu's intercession, Li Niangniang wouldn't even be able to get the position of Concubine Chen.

After that, Renzong still knew the story of Li Niangniang is his biological mother, and the Empress Dowager Liu loved her son, and in order to take care of his face, she also posthumously named Li Niangniang as the queen, and also specially sealed her relatives and widows, but although the Empress Dowager Liu proved that the civet cat for the prince was a rumor, when the truth was clarified, these rumors had been widely circulated in the market, and there was no way to curb it.

It is also thanks to the record of this incident that the golden rainbow lantern, which exists in history, is also recorded in the historical classics, so that future generations will know that the golden rainbow lantern in the past has also been to the imperial front.

Sun Daqiao coughed a few times and continued: "In the Song Dynasty, the development of the handicraft industry brought about technological innovation, such as the fire dance Jinhong, Tokyo Menghualu has recorded a lot, it can be described as colorful, skillful, but with the Jin State invaded Bianjing, a lot of technology was lost with the trampling of the barbarians, and in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there was nothing left. ”

"When I was telling fortunes in the rivers and lakes, I also saw such a craftsman, his trick is the same as the popular Western scenery now, using a box made of wooden boxes, and there are three bowl-sized round holes dug in the front, just enough to put people's faces in, and when the visitors are ready, the golden rainbow light inside will be lit, and it looks like a rainbow is beating with the golden light of the glass."

"As for now."

Sun Daqiao said: "With the diorama coming in, this thing is also advancing with the times, I heard that you can put diorea in the box, just like watching a foreign drama in the cinema, as long as two cents can watch it once, it is more affordable than watching a foreign opera, whenever the craftsman walks the streets, there must be children running around the wooden box and refusing to go." ”

"If you think about it, this is already a lost technology, and it can still be done so amazingly, if it is handed down according to the Song Dynasty, it must be regarded as a clever workmanship."

He coughed a few times, pointed to the fire dance Jin Hong above his head and said: "This thing was built in the Song Dynasty, when the technology was not lost, and the people of the Jin Kingdom paid more attention to keeping technical books in order to build their Shangjing. ”

"I want to!"

Sun Daqiao looked at everyone: "The people of the Jin Kingdom have a way to create a golden rainbow lantern, and the entire dome is probably the glass cover I said, and those rays are actually the light reflected by the silk and the shaking of the lamp, and if there is tung oil and bone phosphorus in it, of course, it can also burn itself." ”

"If you think about what kind of mechanism you have made with the addition of rotation, the Chao family is proficient in the art of mechanism, I think, you can use the golden rainbow lantern to build such a golden rainbow dome."

"But what do they make these things for? Is it just for the sake of good looks? ”

Xu Xiake looked at the dome, the golden rainbow was shining, shining like clouds, and it was nothing but good-looking.

"It should be for auspiciousness."

Yue Qingshan explained: "There is a golden rainbow in the tomb, which represents that people are taken care of by God, and this imperial concubine is the concubine of Qinzong, and she is also a few concubines who have returned to the north, and the purpose is only to respond to the auspicious rui, which is equivalent to the top painting of the tomb." ”

Yue Guanchao looked at the rainbow top at the top, and said: "Regardless of whether it is done by the Jin State or the Southern Song Dynasty, there is probably more than one purpose for the Hongding to be done. ”

This point, Yue Guanchao has a deep understanding in the Haidong Imperial Mausoleum, the brutal chain hammer that appeared in the urn city, three or two strokes will beat people into pieces of meat, he still feels numb in his back when he thinks about it, if this organ is really done by the Heavenly Officials, it will definitely not be so simple.

"Anyway, go to the hallway first, and if there's anything, you can be prepared."

Before the words fell, there was already a clicking vision above their heads, and the sound of the sinkhole kept ringing between the light and the extinction, and they saw countless black things falling downward.

With a click, the black sphere fell to the ground, a spike ball bigger than a fist, cast in brass, full of three-inch spikes, smashed into the slate cracked, full of cracks.

"Let's go!"

Yue Guanchao's eyes were quick, and he took Song Siyuan to dodge the attack of the thorn ball, and hid in the nearest corridor, and soon after they fell under the corridor, the thorn ball rained down, and Hala fell downward, smashing the top of the verandah frequently.

If they leave a little later, they will definitely become hedgehogs!

Listening to the rumbling sound at the top of the corridor, everyone only felt that after the catastrophe, it was only a breath at this moment, and the thorn balls had already fallen all over the courtyard, and countless thorn balls smashed the ground mottled and ugly, and it was no longer the grandeur just now.

"What is this, with so much power, that it can smash a stone slab like this."

Some people died, but not completely......
