After the first two adventures, I have adapted to this environment, but I still feel a strong sense of depression. After entering, I found that the cave was very spacious and far-reaching, like a theater, with several dark openings on the stone wall in the distance.
Directly in front is a platform as high as one person, with steps on all sides, very much like a scene in a movie. In the center of the platform, there is a stone table with a sword stuck on it.
"This should be an altar used by the ancients to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. It is extremely pious. If it is a trap, it cannot be set on the altar!" I considered it in my mind.
The sword stood in the center, awe-inspiring to the ghosts and ghosts, similar to the stone lions placed in front of the building. Thinking of this, I strode forward and walked up. As soon as I got on the platform, I noticed the detailed carvings on all sides of the stone case.
The characters were strange and incomprehensible. When the flashlight was illuminated, the bronze sword shone with green light and was inserted straight into the stone. The sword body was carved with fine diamond patterns without a trace of rust, revealing an indescribable classical beauty.
.
Many technologies of the ancients were far ahead of that era. In March 1944, a batch of bronze swords were unearthed from the No. 2 Pit of Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses. They were still as bright as new and extremely sharp. After testing, it was found that the surface of the swords was plated with a layer of
A layer of ten micron thick chromium salt compounds. This discovery immediately caused a sensation all over the world. This "chromium salt oxidation" treatment process was an invention of the twentieth century. The most famous sword of King Goujian of Yue in history is the reason why it has been able to survive for thousands of years.
The reason for the rust is that the sword is plated with a layer of metal containing chromium. When cleaning the first pass of Pit No. 1, it was found that a bronze sword was bent by a pottery figurine weighing 150 kilograms.
The degree exceeded 45 degrees. When the archaeologists removed the pottery figurines, a miracle occurred: the thin and narrow bronze sword rebounded straight in an instant and recovered naturally. Fortunately, these incredible objects were excavated by modern people.
Otherwise, it will be labeled as "mythical imagination".
I looked at the words carefully, walked around the stone table, and shook my head in confusion. Then, I got close to the sword, leaned over and turned on the flashlight to examine it carefully. My head suddenly shook, "Xia Yu Sword?!"
I raised my head, with endless surprise in my eyes, "This is the legendary 'Xia Yu' sword! The Xia Yu sword is said to have been made during the reign of Dayu of the Xia Dynasty. "The Record of Famous Swords" records: "Xia Yu forged a sword and hid it in Kuaiji Mountain.
The twenty-eight constellations are engraved on the abdomen, and the text is on the back. The text is the sun, moon and stars, and the mountains and rivers are memorized.', I can't think of it, I can't think of it!"
I praised him and wanted to hold the sword to my heart. I admired and thought at the same time: "The carvings around this stone case must be all talismans. This sword followed King Yu in the war and killed countless people. The evil spirit on the sword, coupled with the talismans,
It is enough to deter all evil spirits. The sword is standing here to prevent evil spirits from coming in!"
However, I soon realized that danger might have quietly approached me. Xia Yu's sword struck here, indicating that there must be something extraordinary here. Fear suddenly surged into my head, my heart felt heavy, like a plumb bob, and the footsteps were trivial and dull.
After walking for a few minutes, I finally saw it clearly when I got closer - there were nine holes in the three stone walls, which were eerie like nine mouths. I immediately stopped and turned my head to look. I was nervous and anxious, with a confused look on my face, as if I was standing on the ground.
Maze entrance.
"There seems to be writing on the side of this hole." I got closer and took a closer look. There seemed to be a line of dark writing on the side of the hole, and my heart suddenly trembled.
I saw that the words on it were in fonts that were relatively recent to this year, mostly around the Ming Dynasty. I quickly thought that before we arrived, the only people who had set foot here were the footprints of our ancestors from the Ming Dynasty. These words read well
There is nothing puzzling about it, but what surprised me was that it said
Typical characters: Forbidden land for the living.
Even the Yin Division is not considered a forbidden area for the living. These four bold characters made his spine shiver. However, there was no other way ahead. If they just went back home, wouldn't their trip be in vain?
I went through all the trouble just to get to the bottom of it, so how could I run away just because of the four words written above?
So, I took a long breath, turned on the flashlight, and strode forward. As soon as I entered the cave, my heart started pounding. The tunnel was about three meters wide and very spacious. I put the short knife in my trouser pocket and held the flashlight in one hand.
, holding on to the wall with the other hand. I tensed my face all the way, thinking that I would live in a dead place. This happened again and again. When would I be able to get through it?
After walking for more than ten minutes and turning four times, the alleyway seemed to be endless. I was the only one breathing, and the only sound in my ears was the dull sound of my footsteps. Suddenly, I stopped and stretched my neck to take a look. I saw a dot of yellow light in the distance.
Flashing, the spots are of different sizes, blurry, and densely packed, like thousands of oil lamps; nearby, the spots are large and bright, as if shining on a mirror, faintly showing the surrounding long, dim yellow strips.
Probably a copper plate.
Suddenly, I turned sideways and stared at the stone wall, as if I had discovered something. "Who?", one word came out of my mouth.
I saw a dark figure standing by the wall, with hunched shoulders, disheveled hair, and a slight sound of fingernails scratching metal. But when I walked in, I found that the dark figure was motionless.
, it turned out to be a bronze statue. I noticed that there was nothing unusual about the taboo on my hand, so I walked over. However, I didn’t expect that as soon as I passed the bronze statue, I suddenly felt a wisp of wind blowing behind me. I looked back.
By that time, the bronze man was no longer where he was, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
It was too late, but soon, I immediately took out the short knife. At this time, there was another gust of wind behind me. I immediately turned around and stabbed it hard, trying to kill it in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, I almost killed it with this knife.
He was shattered, as if he had hit a rock. He wanted to pull away to defend himself, but he heard a crisp "crash" sound, and a black shadow shattered into pieces in front of him.
I stared at the fragments on the ground stupidly. I couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't understand why this bronze man would attack him on his own. In my opinion, unless it was a mechanically controlled "robot", this bulky bronze man would
No matter what, you can't attack yourself so flexibly.
"It's not like there is a spirit attached to it, and the ban has no reaction at all." I said to myself.
Upon closer inspection, this bronze man is quite similar to the bronze statue unearthed from Sanxingdui. The cultural relics unearthed from Sanxingdui date from the mid-Shang Dynasty. In 1986, a batch of very special bronzes were unearthed from Sanxingdui No. 1 and No. 2 sacrificial pits in Guanghan, Sichuan.
The portraits include ordinary portraits and portraits of people wearing golden masks.
Among the bronzes in Sanxingdui, the bronze statues are the largest and most valuable for research. The bronze statues in Sanxingdui are a group of authorities and idols that are worshiped by people. They not only symbolize gods, earth, ancestors, etc., but also represent kings and wizards.
A type of secular leader or spiritual leader, showing the social form and group relations of the ancient Shu country in which humans and gods were united, politics and religion were united. Their excavation filled the gaps in the bronze figure sculptures of the Shang Dynasty in China and the idol worship in early China.
"What is the origin of this bronze man? Did technology comparable to modern civilization already exist four or five thousand years ago?" I couldn't help but have a very vague question.
The bronze man has a thin face and a solemn expression, and his ears are pierced, probably for wearing earrings.
"Ancient witchcraft may gradually disappear with the passage of time, but if it is said that such an ancient civilization really existed in the world, I don't believe it. Someone must be pretending to be a ghost."
I picked up the mask of the bronze man and was surprised to find that there was an ancient corpse hidden under the mask, shining with light and extremely weird. He had seen the jade servant's method of preserving corpses many times, but this bronze man actually
You can also hide the corpse, which is the first time I have seen it. The ancient corpse was purple all over, but its face was very well preserved, and there were patches of corpses on it like copper rust.
"I'm afraid that this ancient corpse is the key to making the bronze man move. If he lifted up the corpse in the bronze armor, it would make sense, but how could the forbidden ring not respond?" I thought about what I just heard.
The sound of fingernails scratching against metal was heard, and the scratching sound was particularly prominent and harsh in the oppressive space.
"Unless this thing is earlier than the contract between gods and ghosts..."
I have experienced so many weird things, and my mental endurance has been extraordinary, but the scene in front of me is still creepy and shuddering. I raised my flashlight and shined it in a circle, and sometimes I turned the flashlight to the brightest and fired it into the distance.
"The corpse energy here is overwhelming, and it is definitely not an ordinary corpse monster." I already knew in my heart what I was facing.
I checked the ancient corpse. Although there were abnormalities, I could not decipher the mystery, so I could only leave it and move on. After walking for a while, I found two more headless corpses lying nearby. Their appearance was similar to that of the Bronze Man.
The ancient corpse was almost the same, but the head was gone, and no head was found nearby. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the two heads made people afraid to look at them, and even the sight of them was uncomfortable.
After walking along the stone wall for a few minutes, I found a spacious place. The stone wall happened to be recessed, like a shelter. Walking further inside, I saw a huge cave hall with a pure black copper lamp in the middle, standing tall and tall.
The lamp is shaped like a coiling dragon, which is vigorous and simple.
On one side of the cave hall, there is a stone wall with a very ancient rock painting on it, with a pattern of a flying dragon soaring into the clouds. In front of the rock painting, there is a bronze coffin. The bronze hanging coffin is less than one meter above the ground.
, the height of the coffin body is also nearly two meters, and it is a huge thing at the end. It is tied several times with chains, reinforced with nine heavy locks, and hung on the top floor of the tomb with sixteen large copper rings. There may be a load-bearing copper beam connecting it.
.
Taking a closer look, the coffin lid was incomparably beautiful, covered with crimson cloud patterns and dragon patterns. Two golden dragons glowed with gold and silver, soaring into the clouds, as if they were about to burst out of the board. This simple and majestic coffin cover
The beauty shocks the whole body, spreading like a breath throughout the pores of the body.
"This..." I couldn't help but sigh when I saw this copper coffin, "This should be from the Han Dynasty. The lacquerware of the Han Dynasty is a model of handicrafts, and it is extremely difficult to imitate now."
"Tiangong Kaiwu" commented on the lacquerware at that time that "one cup requires the efforts of a hundred people, and one screen requires the efforts of ten thousand people." For the sake of splendor, no financial resources and manpower were spared. First, use raw lacquer as the base, and then use oil to mix the pigments for painting.
, and then use the tip of the needle to carve patterns, which is called cone painting.
I carefully looked at a rhombus pattern and filled the engraved seams with gold powder, creating a pattern effect similar to gold and silver on copperware. Finally, I applied gold or silver foil, so the pattern was as exquisite as a gongbi painting.
