Chapter 186 The shallow structure of the mausoleum

Under Bai Ning's command, everyone came to the other end of the tomb and continued to dig down in the direction of the previous tomb.

As expected, there are many holes and tunnels built here, and I don't know where they lead, even if they are partially destroyed by arrow feathers, but their dense pattern is still very eye-catching.

Digging down the foundation, the ground below is also made up of numerous holes, as if it were a fluffy honeycomb structure.

In general, this is either for thermal insulation or to reduce the overall weight of the superstructure.

Combined with the characteristics of the superstructure here, and away from the air duct, this hollow structure is most likely designed to reduce weight.

This also indirectly indicates that there is likely to be a very large hollow area underneath this burial chamber.

The sudden appearance of a large burial chamber either has begun to enter the main burial chamber area, or there are some important things that have been placed here.

Based on this consensus, everyone subconsciously became nervous, for fear that one carelessness would lead to the overall collapse of this area.

Fortunately, with the joint efforts of everyone, a narrow hole was finally dug out, and the overall structure of the tomb did not appear cracked, and the possibility of collapse was not great for the time being.

While breathing a sigh of relief, the temperature in this large tomb made everyone happy, although the temperature was also very low, but it was within the minimum tolerance range of the drone.

Without the slightest hesitation, the drone operator hurriedly manipulated the machine to get in.

With the onboard light shining in, the pattern of the entire tomb is clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes.

The pattern inside is shocking, only to see a large coffin lying quietly in the center of the tomb, and the surrounding burial goods are even more dazzling, all kinds of jade, jewelry, precious metals, wood, pottery is even more dazzling.

If an ordinary tomb robber sees such a scene, he will be so excited that he can't sleep for three days and three nights.

No one in the audience cheered, not even a heavy gasp, everyone gathered around the drone operator, and watched the luxurious burial site with cold eyes.

Doubtful graves.

This is everyone's first impression.

The magnificence of the outer area of the mausoleum makes it impossible to believe that this large mausoleum is only three floors.

"It is not uncommon to set up a grave in your own tomb in your own tomb, which is not uncommon in the general anti-tomb robbery design.

However, after the careful analysis I just made, it is a bit different.

The funerary goods are so rich and well-structured that I think it's more like a funerary chamber. ”

After some careful consideration, Professor Huang denied his first impression, and his direction of thinking can only be regarded as decent.

In order to highlight the grace, the emperor will also let some ministers be buried with him, and it is normal for different coffins to appear in a mausoleum.

"Isn't there something special about the overall layout of this tomb?

Or maybe there's some kind of mural that records your life.

Another point, if it is a burial, the previous tomb structure, it seems that there is not much space to accommodate such a huge coffin. ”

Jiang Yingxue was asking Professor Huang some professional questions, and she also wanted him to completely clarify the basic layout of this tomb.

Whether it is a burial or a doubtful tomb, they will eventually continue to explore below through here, and based on the consistent habits of the mausoleum designers, there must be dangers lurking here.

Even to think a little more grimly, this alluring area is actually a decoy that is luring them into it and making some fatal mistakes.

It is important to know that the underground structure of the entire mausoleum is intricate, and the greater the degree of penetration into the mausoleum, the superstructure will gradually evolve into a stone falling threat due to its increasing size.

Especially when such a huge chamber suddenly appeared, and if something happened in it that there was a risk of collapse, everyone would be buried in the mausoleum.

When the wind and sand blow, all traces of the past will be completely buried, and the entire mausoleum is equivalent to being sealed twice.

"The pattern of the tombs, the regulation of the burial goods, and the order in which the burial goods are placed all represent the unique funeral customs of a culture, as well as the unique ideas of the tomb owner and the mausoleum designer.

Judging from the overall pattern here, all the funeral goods are placed in the pattern of stars and moons, which is a very ordinary hedonistic pattern.

The famous gold and jade accompany me, and the heavens and the earth will be glorious forever.

In this basic pattern, it seems that the tomb owner here has a vulgar pattern and low taste, which is completely different from the murderous atmosphere presented in the previous tomb structure.

However, if you look closely at the arrangement of the funeral goods, it presents a different style.

The green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the Vermilion Bird in the front, and the Xuanwu in the back.

The green dragon belongs to wood in the east, the white tiger belongs to gold in the west, the Vermilion Bird belongs to fire in the south, and the north belongs to water in Xuanwu.

The burial goods around the coffin are also placed in accordance with the pattern of east wood, west gold, south fire and north water.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and thick soil in the center, which seems to be a metaphor for the person in the coffin is an existence that can carry everything like the earth.

All the gold and jade glory outside, even if he embraces himself, but the owner of the coffin still chooses the most humble soil.

Although it seems to be humble, it can carry the thick soil of all living beings, which is like an extremely noble self-metaphor. ”

Professor Huang's analysis of the tomb pattern is very professional from shallow to deep, from the surface to the inside.

Under such a reminder, Bai Ning also had some reverie, thinking that the existence in this coffin was likely to be the designer of this mausoleum.

In the previous continuous deduction, the mausoleum was finally characterized as a mausoleum built for the sake of inheritance.

Imagine that when the entire West Queen Mother clan began to go downhill inexorably, the last wise man in the clan was worried and worried, and struggled to support it, but he still couldn't change it.

Isn't it like a thick soil that can carry everything by struggling to support the future of the entire clan by himself?

However, given the cunning and variability of the mausoleum's designers, this superficial assertion cannot be fully believed.

"Putting aside the pattern of these burial goods, are these tomb murals taken by drones used to show some records of the life of the people in the coffin?"

I saw some murals in the picture of the drone before, so Jiang Yingxue was very concerned about this and asked them separately again.

"Not sure.

The murals in some tombs are mostly painted with scenes from the fairy world, implying that the tomb owner can take the road to the fairy world in the painting.

Only those who have made some great achievements in front of them can make it possible for the builders of the mausoleum to paint some murals of praise and praise to commemorate the achievements of his life under the deliberate arrangement of later generations.

But judging from the overall pattern of the current mausoleum, it should be a royal tomb, and it is likely to be a burial chamber here.

If it is a funeral, then being able to enter the royal tomb is already the greatest honor, and there is no need to draw other things that praise virtue. ”

Professor Wong rejects the assumption that the murals are the subject of a personal narrative, which does not make them much less valuable, and may even contain some more valuable historical information.

For example, will there be some ancient rumors related to the West Queen Mother Clan, what is the origin of the West Queen Mother Clan, what happened in Kunlun Mountain, and so on.

These important information are the most valuable values of these murals.

Because of this, Professor Huang denied his own ideas, but Jiang Yingxue's eyes became brighter, and her thirst for the content of these murals was even stronger.

"I think these murals may just be some inducing information traps."

Just when Jiang Yingxue enthusiastically began to take the initiative to study the content of the mural, wanting to figure out the meaning as soon as possible, Bai Ning's cold words made the atmosphere in the field instantly drop to the freezing point.

The mural is a false information trap.

This point, if it is based on the previous dangerous experience, this speculation can be said to be beyond doubt.

However, the guess is simple, but it is not generally difficult to give a reasonable explanation for this.

After all, there are very few records and even rumors about the Queen Mother of the West in various historical classics.

Taking the Classic of Mountains and Seas as an example, it is the classic that records the most relevant information about the Queen Mother of the West, but even if it appears many times in different chapters, it is all brushed aside, and the repetition is extremely high.

If there are insufficient sources of information, and there is no information basis for screening, then it does not matter whether it is true or false.

But Bai Ning judged these pictures so arbitrarily at this time, and he was so decisive, which surprised people at the same time, and had to ask one more why.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Bai Ning also slowly explained:

If the owner of this coffin does not need to record his past exploits in the form of murals, then he is not qualified to record the past history of the Queen Mother of the West in the same way as murals in his tomb.

You must know that it is the Queen Mother of the West who is buried here, and in the real main burial chamber, there must be murals that record the life of the Queen Mother of the West, as well as the history of the Queen Mother of the West clan related to it.

The life of the Queen Mother of the West is recorded in the tomb, but the history of the Queen Mother of the West is recorded in the tomb of her subordinates.

Such a thing that has no priority or priority, or the funeral personnel who were buried later, do you think that the successor of the Queen Mother of the West will agree to such an act?

The only possibility that there could be frescoes here is that they were also part of the burial chamber mechanism.

The mural is the basic carrier of information, and its greatest value is misleading. ”

Bai Ning's analysis is like a thunderbolt, logically denying the possible historical value of these murals.

There is no problem with this, from the level of primary and secondary dignity, even if there is any important history of the West Queen Mother's clan to record, it should indeed be drawn in the main tomb of the West Queen Mother.

A burial chamber is already a great honor, and it is impossible to engage in these bells and whistles at all.

For a moment, even archaeologists like Professor Huang fell silent.
