Strange Tomb [Recommended by the Great God]

Chapter 156 Humanoid Terracotta Figures

Lei Zi ignited the lighter with a bang, and kept a distance of two meters without going over. He suddenly threw the lighter in his hand over, turned quickly and flew out, avoiding the explosion. Strength, a very smart approach, there was a loud "bang", and everyone lay on the ground tightly, covering their heads and ears with their hands.

Tang Sancheng felt that there were countless forces pulling himself, there was always a roaring sound beside his ears, a heat wave passed over his head, it took an unknown amount of time before the scorching feeling disappeared slowly, he raised his head, I saw the bronze tree tilted to one side, revealing a hole below, it was just a very small space, and the inside was too dark to see clearly.

Lei Zi carefully put away the remaining gunpowder in the grenade, then walked to the bronze tree, pushed it with his hands, and the bronze tree shook: "Now we can push it away with our combined efforts, come on! "

The bronze tree was pushed slowly, revealing the opening of the hole. I took a flashlight to shine it down, and there was indeed a sarcophagus inside. Wu Tong was overjoyed: "I'll go down and have a look first."

At this time, he had already forgotten the unhappiness of being attacked by the female corpse just now. The entrance of the cave is only for one person to enter and exit, and someone must go down first. Bai Yi nodded, and the others watched Wu Tong's feet fall first, and then the whole body jumped. After going down, seeing Wu Tong landed steadily, he knew it was not high. After Wu Tong went down, he saw a brazier on the wall and lit the brazier. The sarcophagus is gone, there is no coffin bed, and the sarcophagus is placed directly on the ground, which looks a bit bleak. Wu Tong confirmed that there is nothing else, and waved to the top: "It's okay, everyone come down!!"

The others jumped down one after another. Xiao Ning jumped down neatly without giving way to the bearded eyebrows. When he saw the sarcophagus, he couldn't wait to open it. Bai Yi shook his head, and used the Gu water given by Fu Yu as usual to test it out. Seeing that there was no abnormality, he hit it with a stone again to confirm that there were no other traps, and then lifted the coffin lid together with Qixie...

The coffin lid was lifted down, and everyone looked in, dumbfounded: empty!It was empty except for some funerary artifacts. Among those artifacts were a pair of humanoid pottery figurines, a wooden box, some ancient coins scattered around inside the sarcophagus, and the most special thing was a mirror.

"It's evil, where is the man's corpse?" Lei Zi gritted his teeth and said, "This tomb is weird. When I came in, I thought this man and woman had become gods. What kind of gossip table is there, but the woman was divided into corpses." , the man, buried himself here, even the bones are gone.”

"Don't worry about so many, it's good to have these." Wu Tong unknowingly argued with Lei Zi, and he picked up the scattered coins in the sarcophagus one by one. These small copper coins are round on the outside and square on the inside, symbolizing the universe .The word "five baht" is cast on the bottom with seal characters. Most of the ancient Chinese coins are round on the outside and square on the inside. It started from the five baht coins. When Wu Tong was picking them up, he was still counting in his heart. There are 49 coins in total. Five baht coins.

On the contrary, Xiao Ning was attracted by the pair of humanoid pottery figurines. The use of figurines is to enable the deceased to continue to live as before in the underworld, so there will be a large number of figurines during the burial.

As early as the Neolithic Age, people began to put human bodies and animals pinched from clay into furnaces to be fired together with pottery.During the Warring States period, the system of martyrdom declined, and pottery figurines replaced martyrdom. The terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, Shandong pottery music and dance acrobatic figurines, Sichuan pottery rap figurines, and Henan technical music figurines are real and lifelike.

The art of pottery figurines reached a new peak in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Civil servants, warriors, ladies, camels, horses, teasers, riding figurines, and Hu figurines became common types in this era. The colorful figurines can be called the masterpiece of Chinese pottery figurines.The style of pottery figurines in the Five Dynasties changed greatly, and the figurines of gods and monsters in tombs were valued.

This custom of burial with pottery figurines gradually declined after the Song Dynasty. Because burning paper money was prevalent in funerals, the use of pottery figurines dropped sharply and disappeared completely in the early Qing Dynasty. terracotta figurines.

What Xiao Ning is holding in front of him is a humanoid pottery figurine. As the name suggests, it is a pottery fired in a human shape. Xiao Ning holds one in each hand and tilts his head to look at it: "Isn't this pottery figurine just like a man and a woman in the murals?" ?"

Others looked over and saw that although the shape of this pair of terracotta figurines was extremely simple, they were smooth overall and their faces were delicately depicted, especially the female terracotta figurines, which Xiao Ning was very familiar with, that was the woman on the mural, that The owner of the head: "It's strange, does it mean that the corpses are replaced by pottery figurines? I've only heard of the clothes tombs, but not the tombs of pottery figurines."

"Don't care about it, quickly grab the mirror and flash away." Wu Tong was fed up with this place, and he picked up the mirror in his hand: "There is no gold or silver jewelry at all. The owner of the tomb can build such a neat and tidy structure." The tomb, but the burial is too shabby, and the mirror is only made of bronze."

Wu Tong held the mirror and shook it carelessly, looking dismissive. The mirror was facing the brazier on the wall, and suddenly reflected a beam of light. : "My dear, what is this!!"

Bai Yi has opened an antique shop for so many years, and it's not for nothing. He took the mirror, pointed it at the light, and emitted a ray of light from this humble bronze mirror onto the not so bright part of the wall. Immediately two lights appeared on the wall Xingzi - Seeing the light of the sun, the world is bright!

These two lines of characters are exactly the inscription on the back of this bronze mirror. Tang Sancheng sighed: "It's incredible!"

"This is a light-transmitting mirror. It has been made since the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. In fact, it is nothing special to put it bluntly. This is caused by many small uneven curvatures on the mirror surface. The surface of the mirror is slightly convex. The light in the concave part converges, while the light in the convex part diverges. In the image, there are bright and dark parts corresponding to the pictures on the back of the mirror, so that the pictures on the back of the mirror are formed on the wall. This technique was invented in the Western Han Dynasty. Come on, the ancients are really amazing."

Bai Yi suddenly felt that now was not the time to talk about this, so he put away the light-transmitting mirror, looked at the inner wall of the sarcophagus, and shone the flashlight into it, trying to see clearly, only to see three words engraved on the stone wall - I will go! !

"I'm leaving?!" Bai Yi was taken aback, "Could it be that the male tomb owner stayed behind?"

Lei Zi saw those three words clearly, and was a little surprised: "There are traces of Feitian everywhere here, but the male tomb owner really ascended, and his body didn't stay. Are there really gods in this world?"

Tang Sancheng frowned, the ascension mentioned by Taoists, indeed, the physical body would disappear instantly, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and only heard the scene of the ancients' ascension from his master. However, Tang Sancheng had a faint feeling that this matter might not be so simple.
