Chapter 1,000: Interior of the Burial Hall
Everyone walked up to the front steps of the hall and looked at the main hall: "According to the interior of the pagoda we saw, it is speculated that at least ten meters of space has been carved out of the stone wall, then, the space of the main hall in the stone wall is destined to only increase, plus this is already the last main hall, there is likely to be a mechanism, we must be careful to deal with it." ”
After Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Guanchao stepped forward and pushed it casually, the door of the hall opened with a bang, he turned his head and crooked his mouth and teased: "Don't be so cautious, the ghost people have attacked here many times for thousands of years, what mechanism can be triggered all the time?" It's better for us to guard against the Heavenly Pupil God, a living monster is much more difficult to deal with than a dead mechanism. ”
After that, he led everyone into the main hall and turned on the flashlight, and after a short period of light, the interior of the main hall gradually became clear.
This main hall is almost the same as other tombs, the palace is magnificent, luxurious and exquisite, the caissons, murals, beams, carved windows are extremely exquisite, it can be regarded as the highest craftsmanship at that time, this kind of empty head and brain not to mention for the time being, everyone is attracted by a huge gluttonous monument in front of them!
Song Siyuan turned on the flashlight and glanced around: "The width of this heavy eaves rest mountain hall is about fifty meters, and the height is between twenty meters, if you actually want to calculate, it is much smaller than the largest Hanyuan Hall in the Tang Dynasty, but as the main hall of the tomb, it is already relatively large." ”
Then, she focused the flashlight on the gluttonous monument!
This tall stone tablet is several times larger than the Xugong tablet they saw in the hanging hall, with a length and width of at least ten meters, forming a square rectangle, and on both sides are huge gluttonies several meters high.
This gluttony is even bigger than the gluttony on both sides of the bronze tripod in front of the palace, or even more vivid, and has gotten rid of the rough image and moved closer to the direction of the exquisite beast shape.
If you look closely, the gluttonous head is similar to that of a lion, with huge fangs, an angry mouth, two curved horns tilted backwards in an arc, a body similar to a unicorn, covered with scales, a fluffy and slender tail like a horse's tail, wings on both sides of the wings flying and spreading, the front limbs claws grasp the ear of the stele, and the hind legs are strong and strong to support the ground.
The overall shape is fine copper, each part is extremely fine, the scales are concave and convex, the bristles are as thin as hair, the claws are shiny and sharp, and the muscles are swollen and full.
The surface of the stele had been polished flat and smooth, shining slightly in the light, and upon closer inspection, it was found that the surface of the stele was covered with a layer of gold hard shell.
On the hard shell, the territory of the Liu and Song dynasties in the Northern and Southern Dynasties era is drawn, and in order to show the hostile relationship, the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Jiangbei is also drawn on the map.
The whole map is not flat, but slightly concave and convex three-dimensional, all the peaks on it are like a spine uplifting, as for the basins and plains, they are also mostly concave downward, and various lines draw the boundaries of rivers, lakes, state capitals, and even the garrisons and defense camps in various places are clearly marked.
If you get the contemporaries, this can basically be used directly as a combat map, and the overall look is as if you are overlooking the territory of the Northern and Southern Dynasties from a high altitude.
Speaking of this, she paused: "I suspect that the statue in the pagoda shrine itself was when Liu Yu was dying, knowing that his Northern Expedition was hopeless, so he specially changed his shape and made such a hasty statue." ”
"Here, isn't there too much gluttonous shape, shouldn't this level of tomb be made of auspicious unicorns and dragons?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the vivid gluttony of the scales and claws, and asked curiously.
Yue Qingshan looked at the gluttony, and explained in a low voice: "The unicorn is a rui beast, and the dragon is the king of the rui beast, and it is okay to use it in the emperor's mausoleum, but if it is just a soldier's clothing mound, I am afraid it is not very compliant, and it is impossible to use a dragon with the regulation of the clothing mound in the northern mansion, as for why not use the unicorn, I am afraid it is related to the nature of the tomb." ”
Song Siyuan borrowed his words and continued: "What the second uncle said is that as long as the unicorn is used for blessings, but this is not compatible with the role of the clothed mound, the role of the clothed mound is to recruit heroic souls to become heavenly soldiers, so that they can be used against the Northern Wei people, from this point of view, it is more appropriate to use gluttony." ”
She paused and explained: "Gluttony has always been a vicious beast in ancient mythology, and it is also one of the four fierce beasts of ancient times. ”
Song Siyuan motioned to everyone to look at the stele: "Combined with the intention of gluttony to support the stele, Liu Yu compared himself to gluttony, the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been favored by him, and he will definitely swallow it in his lifetime, and the confidence in the Northern Expedition can be seen." ”
"If there is no problem with the military town of the Ghost Fang World, if Liu Yu is allowed to live for another ten years, most of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty is likely to be really included in his territory and become part of the territory of Liu Song. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and the Beifu soldiers wanted to win too much, so they actually invited the heavenly pupil god of the ghost people into the clothed tomb, but it made the Northern Expedition fall short, and Liu Yu failed to go up the Northern Expedition until he died, and ended up regretfully. ”
After everyone finished reading the stele, they detoured behind the stele, and two rows of stone statues began to appear on the left and right, and the appearance of these stone statues was the giant statue of the Heavenly Pupil God they saw in the backyard, with a huge head, a clear face, and a cold look in front of people.
The stone statues are mostly facing each other, forming a narrow aisle behind the stone monument!
As for the space of the side hall on the left and right of the stone statue, it has been hollowed out one meter downward, and it is all occupied by terracotta figures, these portraits are horizontal and vertical in columns, and the phalanxes are different, covering many arrays such as soldiers and slaves, armor soldiers, chariots, war horses, etc., all of which are the appearance of Beifu soldiers, and the bodies of normal people are almost the same, and their faces are different, and it is the real appearance of Beifu soldiers at that time that they want to use.
"What's in this terracotta pool?"
Yue Guanchao looked down at the half-meter-deep burial pool, the flashlight shone on the past, and the surface was glowing with bright and shiny oil.
He then used his dagger to plunge into the pool, and then lifted it upwards, the liquid was shaped like honey, and the silk threads were constantly implicated downward, and finally fell into the pool.
"This is lard mixed with tung oil!" Yue Qingshan approached the pool and sniffed the scent on the dagger.
"What does this mean? Do you want to cook the terracotta warriors? Yue Erpao looked at the pool of lard and asked.
Yue Qingshan asked: "Lard is easy to solidify, tung oil is not easy to evaporate, these two things together, the ancients were usually used to make waterproofing, or to prevent corrosion and rust, but these terracotta warriors and horses are made of clay, I don't know what it means." ”
Song Siyuan observed the terracotta warriors, and her eyes lit up: "Perhaps, it's to prevent dry cracking!" ”
She motioned to everyone to look at the terracotta warriors: "These terracotta warriors and horses are different from the Tang Dynasty colored figurines of later generations, there is no outer glaze when firing, such terracotta figurines will not last long at all, because the environment is dry and cracked, the pottery is loose and porous, and it is easy to absorb water. ”
Song Siyuan glanced at the depth of the pool: "These tung oils have evaporated a lot, leaving a lot of scale lines, in the past, it should be at the same level as the height of the pool, but now it has been reduced." ”
With that, everyone stepped onto the path in front of the anointing pool, and walked along the stone statue path to the depths of the main hall.
