Chapter 522: Pile of Gold and Jade
Gold, silver, and jade emit more than just breath. The most shocking thing is the dazzling luster, although everyone has not yet entered the burial area, but the luster from the cracks in the bronze door has dazzled everyone, and it is only at this moment that everyone wakes up, and we finally knock on the door of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been sealed for more than 2,000 years, and the outside world has always had all kinds of speculations and conjectures about it, and today all the mysteries will be revealed, and the inside story of the Imperial Mausoleum will soon be revealed to the world.
"Let's go inside, there won't be any more traps in the burial area. I muttered for a long time and spoke.
"Xiao Jiu, you go in first. Murong Chaifeng smiled. The reason why she made me advanced was to give me the honor of "the first person to enter the imperial tomb".
"Section Chief Yu, please first. Lin Yicheng agreed. Lin Yicheng's voice was trembling, which showed that he was very excited.
Ye Aofeng's face was still gloomy at the moment, but he also took half a step back with interest. I should be the first to enter the tomb and break the formation, and he naturally will not and dare not take the credit.
At this moment, my mood is not calm, I have entered all kinds of ancient tombs before, but those are not real imperial tombs, this is not only the imperial tomb, but also the largest imperial tomb in history, and it is difficult for anyone to suppress the excitement in their hearts.
Just when I calmed down the excitement in my heart, Vajra Cannon couldn't help but poke his head into the bronze door, and by the time Murong Chasing Feng found out and pulled him back, Vajra Cannon's eyes were already straight.
"See what?" I said, smiling. I don't have any respect for King Kong Cannon, so naturally I won't blame him for making the first move.
"It's worth it. The face of the King Kong Cannon stiffened, his lips trembled, and he was in a state of extreme excitement without asking. The phrase "worth it" means that the hard work before this is worth it. You must know that King Kong Cannon is a well-informed connoisseur, and he has seen a lot of gold, silver, pearls and jade, which can make him sigh like this just by a glimpse, which shows the beauty of the funeral goods of the imperial tomb.
"If it's worth it, you can go back. I smiled and stepped through the bronze door.
The burial area of the imperial tomb is still a circle, two miles wide, around the main burial chamber, and the first thing you see after entering the bronze gate is a large amount of gold.
Gold is not a gold brick, nor is it a gold cake and gold bar, a large amount of gold is melted and cast into tomb guardian spirit beasts of different shapes. On the left and right sides of the passage every 100 meters there is a huge golden tomb beast, one on the left and right, male and female corresponding, in the first place are two five-clawed golden dragons, the size is the most huge, followed by the unicorn, evil spirits, spirits, pegasus and many other golden statues, the size of the golden statue is basically consistent with the entity, the process of melting and pouring and its exquisiteness, the expression is vivid, the posture is humble, the expression is mighty, the humble posture expresses the obedience to the first emperor, the mighty expression is a threat to outsiders, the mighty and humble are two opposite attitudes, the maker of the golden statue can express these two diametrically opposed emotions at the same time on the same golden statue shows the high level of his skills。
In addition, the golden statue of each spirit beast has wings behind it, and this exaggerated artistic technique wants to express the deep meaning of condescending and arrogant Shenzhou, rather than that these spirit beasts originally have wings. Take it as an example, it is actually today's rhinoceros, whether it is a one-horned rhinoceros in India or a two-horned rhinoceros in Africa, it is called a one-horned rhinoceros, and this ugly fat creature with a body size of up to three tons cannot fly even if it is plugged into a propeller.
The size of these gold-infused spirit beasts is close to the real thing, the specific gravity of gold is already large, and each of the golden spirit beasts with such a huge volume weighs more than several tons, and it is impossible to move them without large lifting equipment. Therefore, I guess that these golden spirit beasts should have been melted and infused in situ here.
The aura of the gold in the burial area is almost all gathered on these spirit beast gold statues, that is to say, the gold in the imperial tomb has been made into gold statues, which has a great advantage, that is, outsiders can not easily move them, and the best anti-theft effect is achieved through the most primitive methods.
The diameter of the burial area is two miles, the middle part is an empty road, and the ground is paved with black black jade, this kind of jade I know, only produced in Shaanxi, much more valuable than Hetian jade, but here, it is only used as a floor tile, meaning thick soil, the size of the black jade is exactly equal, the diameter of each piece is about fifty centimeters, the gap between the two pieces of black jade splicing part is almost invisible, and even the texture between the jade is also very ingenious, through the natural texture of the jade on the ground spelled out a lot of auspicious patterns。
The four walls of the passage are still jade inlays, and the four walls up to nine zhang are completely made of various colors of jade inlays, but the inlay patchwork is not random, but according to the different colors of the jade, three different layers are divided from bottom to top, the deeper the color of the jade is downward, the lighter the color of the jade is the higher the upward, and the top of the tomb is completely pure white jade.
This kind of white jade is naturally not white marble, because white marble is the most garbage jade, and it can't even be called jade, Qin Shi Huang naturally won't use this garbage color in his imperial mausoleum, the white jade he uses can shine, and there is no lighting equipment in the whole passage but it is as bright as day because of the white jade above the passage. It's a pity that I don't know this kind of white jade that can emit light, so I can't tell me where it came from.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck. ”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. ”
At this time, only King Kong Cannon and Lin Yicheng made a sound, and I could only express his surprise when King Kong Cannon was fucking, but Lin Yicheng's tsk voice indicated that he knew this white jade that could glow.
"Mr. Lin, do you know this kind of thing?" I asked. Lin Yicheng has robbed tombs for eight generations, he should have played a lot of antique jade, men like beautiful women and cars, he can only like one of them, and naturally he will find things to distract himself.
"Recognize. Lin Yicheng lowered his head and withdrew his gaze.
"Tell me about it. I hurriedly urged. It's my habit to know what it is, but also why it is.
"The ground is black jade, black and transparent, the color is heavy and greasy, and it is the best in jade. The lowest layer of jade is jadeite jadeite, which is dark green all over, and belongs to the old pit species in today's words, although it is also the best jade, but it is not as rare as black jade. The middle layer is water jade, also called corrugated jade, is the top grade of jade, generally is the jewelry material and pendant material of the dignitaries, the upper layer is also very precious, is mutton fat jade, belongs to a kind of nephrite, you see it reflects the light soft and delicate, similar to the fat of sheep, so it is called mutton fat jade, the bracelet of plum beads is this kind of jade, this bracelet was broken in the Qing Dynasty, and it was worth more than three hundred yuan after repairing it with the process of gold inlaid jade. Lin Yicheng stretched out his hand and pointed to a gold-encrusted bracelet on Mei Zhu's wrist.
"Didn't you say 30,000?" Mei Zhu looked stunned.
"I lied to you. Lin Yicheng smiled tacitly at Mei Zhu.
This scene left me in a little turmoil, did I really send this sympathetic couple to Egypt to eat dates?
"What's the matter with gold and jade?" said King Kong Cannon curiously.
"In the Ming and Qing dynasties, a kind of handicraft, the rich people's jade was damaged and was not willing to discard, they would find a craftsman to use gold and silver threads to fix it, so that the processed jade is not easy to break again, in ancient times, gold inlaid jade was the most unflowing, but now people like it very much. Lin Yicheng replied.
"How much do you think these things are worth?" said the adamantine gestured to the slightly empty passage of the burial area. The passage of the burial area has no other burial items except for the pure gold beast statue, so it seems a little empty. But this emptiness gives people a sense of luxury and atmosphere. This is the same reason that people who drive Mercedes-Benz will not stick words and geckos on the back of the butt, luxury does not need decoration, superficiality needs to be covered.
"There must be other items inside the passage, and besides, jade is priceless, so it's hard to estimate the exact number. Lin Yicheng shook his head and said. He works part-time as a tomb robber and antique dealer, so he naturally understands the market.
"Mr. Lin, do you know the white jade at the top of the passage?" I pulled the topic back, and what I was most curious about was the glowing white jade at the top of the passage.
"It should be a meteorite. The night pearl is divided into two categories, one is the mussel night pearl, this kind of night pearl will gradually dim and yellow with time, what we call the old pearl yellow is for them. There is also a kind of night pearl is a kind of meteorite material that is currently unknown to human beings, these white jade emitted luster white and slightly green, should belong to this category, this kind of jade carved into beads is also called night pearl, has the effect of prolonging life, also has the effect of keeping the body from decaying, but unfortunately I have never seen it with my own eyes. Lin Yicheng replied quite simply.
"How do you know in such detail before you see it?" I asked. It took us less than 10 days to beat the level, so there's plenty of time left.
"My grandfather used to see it with his own eyes, and I heard from him. Lin Yicheng replied casually.
"Tell me about the details. I urged curiously. Since it's something out of the sky, I naturally want to know what it is.
Lin Yicheng didn't answer immediately this time, but frowned and hesitated, but finally opened his mouth.
"In 1928, Sun Dianying stole the Qing Dongling, and my grandfather was the adjutant of Tan Wenjiang, the commander of the Eighth Division. He led the team into the underground palace of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and another adjutant surnamed Hu led the team to blow up the underground palace of Emperor Qianlong. Both teams encountered an unexplained thing. Lin Yicheng's tone was not pleasant, the reason why he hesitated before was because what his grandfather did was not honorable.
According to Lin Yicheng and his father's age, his grandfather's age can be deduced by the time, and his grandfather should have been about thirty years old in 1928. Their Lin family is a family of tomb robbers, as for whether his grandfather is an adjutant or looking for a way, then no one knows, but this also explains why their Lin family had such a good time in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"What's the matter?" asked King Kong Cannon eagerly. We don't have a lot of funerary objects to grab his attention at the moment.
"Emperor Qianlong's coffin automatically left the coffin bed and resisted the last stone door, this thing is bizarre enough. And what happened to my grandfather was even more bizarre, after they dug up the underground palace, they found that Cixi's body was not decomposed. Lin Yicheng frowned and said.
"Cut, rare and weird. "The King Kong Cannon looked disdainful, and it was a rare thing for ordinary people to have a corpse not decompose, but it was no surprise to us Daomen.
"The strange thing is not that Cixi's body did not decompose, and that she looked like a woman in her thirties and forties, but in fact she was seventy-three years old when she died. Lin Yicheng did not stop narrating because of the interruption of the King Kong Cannon.
"And then?" I asked.
"Later, when I was sorting out her funeral belongings, my grandfather found that she had a night pearl in her mouth, which was divided into two halves, and when they were together, they shone brightly, and when they were separated, they had no light. This pearl of the night was later bribed by Sun Dianying to Song Meiling, and Song Meiling lived to be one hundred and six years old, and she always looked thirty or forty years younger than her real age. That's why I judged that the night pearl of this material has the effect of delaying aging. Lin Yicheng briefly recounted what happened, and it could be seen that he was obviously not happy to talk about his grandfather.
"You mean that the white jade above the passage is made of the same material as the night pearl in Cixi's mouth?" I asked, stunned.
"I think so, but the amount of white jade here is unbelievable, and if you move it all, you can buy the whole of Dubai. Lin Yicheng nodded and said.
"Let's go, let's go ahead. "I got the explanation I wanted, and I stopped dwelling on the issue, money is just numbers for me, and what I hate the most is numbers.
"Lao Lin, let me ask you something, I heard that Cixi's corpse was raped by one of the soldiers back then, is there such a thing?" King Kong Cannon pulled Lin Yicheng, who was about to follow me.
"Probably not, at that time, Cixi's corpse shriveled and rotted after being stripped of her phoenix robe, who would do such a dirty thing. Lin Yicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"This is what you don't understand, after a person dies, the yin qi is extremely heavy, and the yin qi in the underground palace is also heavy, unless there is a yang and a thing, otherwise the corpse cannot decay so quickly, hehe, poor Cixi. King Kong Cannon self-righteously analyzed and sighed.
"Don't go too far, go to the front and see what else is there. I interrupted the ramblings of the King Kong Cannon.
"This thing can prolong life, why don't we take some of it?" King Kong Cannon raised his finger.
"These are garbage, the good stuff is ahead. I snorted and shook my head.
There is an immutable principle in the world, that is, the more you give, the more you get, we have paid such a huge price, naturally we have to open our eyes, if necessary, I will also take the most precious and valuable things in the imperial tomb, otherwise my heart is unbalanced......
(The two more are sent together, and the evening strives to add more.)
