Lin Yi took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng, asking them to wear helmets and come here to meet him immediately.

And he himself stood at the edge of this "altar", probing around with a bright flashlight.

Judging by the distance, this should be in the heart of this northern slope.

According to the regulations of the Western Zhou Dynasty tomb group, this is the core area, and it should have buried the princes and nobles with prominent status.

But a circular dome structure has been created here.

It looks like a yurt has been built on the northern slopes.

The ground is deep, round and round, like an open-pit coal mine.

In the middle there is a circular staircase that rises and then extends beyond the dome.

This shape reminded Lin Yi of the stone pillar in the tomb of the Exquisite Queen-"Heavenly Ladder".

The difference is that above the ladder, there are stone steps that spiral up and down.

And this altar-like building, no.

The strangeness and abstractness of this shape is simply unseen and unheard of, and it may be believed that it looks like a product of an alien civilization.

"Oops, it's calculated, it's almost claustrophobia."

Qian Sheng grinned and held his waist.

Wang Qiang came out angrily and complained:

"I said Lao Lin, can't you dig this hole a little bigger? I almost got stuck in it. ”

The two of them lowered their heads and slapped the loess on their bodies, and the moment Wang Qiang suddenly raised his head, he shouted:

"Lao Lin, watch out behind you!"

At this moment, Lin Yizheng was paying full attention to the strange scene in front of him, and he didn't realize that there was anything behind him.

When he heard Wang Qiang's shout, he swept it with his peripheral vision, and found a tall black figure standing behind him, who seemed to be holding a weapon in his hand.

Seeing the figure hidden in the darkness, the weapon in his hand was about to fall.

At the last moment, the sapper shovel in Wang Qiang's hand flew out of his hand and hit the hand of the black shadow impartially.

I only heard a "bang".

A few sparks came out of the darkness, and the sapper shovel fell to the ground.

Lin Yi grabbed this time difference and rolled on the spot, his hand had already pulled out the compound bow in the bag, and as soon as he put his hands together, he fell down, opened his bow and took an arrow, aiming at the head of the black shadow.

The whole set of actions is smooth and done in one go.

At the same time, the headlamp on his head also shone on the face of the dark shadow.

What catches your eye is a swarthy face, a black steel hair, and a samurai wearing chain mail.

Standing on a high platform, holding one hand above your head and a sword in the other, make a downward slashing motion.

It happened to be the position where Lin Yi was standing just now.

He came in and was attracted by the scene in front of him, completely oblivious to his surroundings.

Only now can I finally see that this is actually a bronze statue.

Lin Yi let out a sigh, took the bow and arrow back into his backpack, picked up the sapper shovel on the ground, and threw it to Wang Qiang.

"It's okay, it's almost time to catch up with me."

"Go and go, Lao Tzu is eager to save people, don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf for me here."

Between brothers, there is no need to say too much, the love and righteousness are all in mind, and the quarrel has to continue.

The three of them stood still, and the flashlight outside the three headlamps finally saw the situation here clearly.

Around this pit, there is another circle of smooth rammed earth.

There are twenty-four bronze statues.

These bronze statues have different images and are dressed in different ways, including different facial features and movements.

The material is made of brass, and each statue is at least more than two meters high with a base.

Wang Qiang is still judging whether the material of these bronze statues is brass or other precious metals.

Qian Sheng and Lin Yi had already seen the problem.

"Master Lin, this. In the tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, how did objects from the Tang Dynasty emerge? ”

Lin Yi also nodded secretly.

"I'm also wondering, the material used in these bronze statues is brass, and brass in the Western Zhou Dynasty has not been fully put into production and life, let alone cast bronze statues, even Zhou Tianzi has few brass utensils."

"There is also this dress, as well as the open face of this figure, the degree of modeling freedom is extremely high, the shape is smart, not rigid, this is the sculpture style of the Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, the statues of the Shang and Zhou dynasties were mainly made of jade carvings.

The shape of the characters is relatively rigid, showing a flat state, mostly using cutting techniques, with relief, double hook carving combined techniques, looking at it is relatively simple, simple. ”

"You're an expert, so you're on the point, but right now"

Lin Yi was also confused now, and he couldn't see the situation clearly.

Wang Qiang seems to have made a new discovery.

"Lao Lin, shopkeeper Qian, come and see, is this person stepping on both sides of the Yellow River and beating the divine fist Taibao of Sanzhou and Six Prefectures-Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao?"

In front of him, there is indeed a bronze statue, which looks like a scholar, but it is dressed in military uniform.

A sword hangs from his waist, holding the hilt with one hand and the other at his waist.

"Where did you see that he was Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao?"

Wang Qiang pointed to the foot of the bronze statue with the sapper shovel in his hand.

"Isn't that written? Hu Guogong - Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao. ”

Qian Sheng and Lin Yi looked at each other, and sure enough, there was a title written between the feet of the bronze statue.

They had been discussing the age of the bronze statue and had not noticed this detail at all.

"If this bronze statue is Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, then these twenty-four bronze statues are not."

Qian Sheng muttered in his mouth, and immediately ran to investigate under another bronze statue.

"British Gong - Li Tao, Li Maogong!"

Lin Yi ran to the next bronze statue.

"Ju Guogong - Tang Jian, Tang Maoyo!"

At the same time, Lin Yi and Qian Sheng shouted in unison:

"Twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!"

Wang Qiang was confused.

"What are the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion? Isn't it the forty-six friends of Wagangzhai? ”

Qian Sheng pulled Wang Qiang aside and quietly pointed to the live broadcast camera on him.

"Master Wang, you are cowardly, you said that this is the story in the commentary "Sui and Tang", and I told Lin Ye what is true in history."

"Is there a difference?"

Of course it is different, in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 643 AD, Tang Taizong ordered the great painter Yan Liben to depict the portraits of twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion in order to remember the many heroes who fought the world together.

This Lingyan Pavilion was originally in the Taiji Palace in Guxijing, and later the emperors of the Tang Dynasty kept adding the portraits of the famous ministers of various dynasties, and finally destroyed in the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the portraits of the twenty-four heroes of the original Lingyan Pavilion are also missing. ”

Qian Sheng explained on the side.

Wang Qiang nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Oh, that's the case, eh, if the twenty-four bronze statues we found can prove that they are of the same era as the twenty-four portraits in the pavilion, does that mean that this thing is worth a fortune?"

Lin Yi and Qian Sheng glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

"Master Wang, you are really a good material for this line of work, and you really let you talk. I don't dare to say much about the value of these more than 20 bronze statues, do you know the beast head in the Old Summer Palace?

The value of these bronze statues is only higher than that thing! ”
