Chapter 149 24 Statues of Lingyan Pavilion

Lin Yi took out his walkie-talkie and contacted Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng, telling them to put on their helmets and join him here immediately.

And he himself was standing at the edge of the "altar", looking around with a bright flashlight.

Judging from the distance, this place should be in the center of the northern hillside.

According to the regulations of the Western Zhou burial group, this area belongs to the core area, where prominent princes and nobles should have been buried.

But here unexpectedly created a circular dome structure.

It looks like a yurt has been built into the northern hillside.

The ground is deep, circle after circle, like an open pit coal mine.

Another layer of circular steps were built in the middle, extending upward and then beyond the dome.

This shape reminded Lin Yi of the sky-reaching stone pillar in the tomb of Queen Jingjue - the "Ladder to Heaven".

The difference is that on the ladder, there are stone steps that circle up and down.

But this altar-shaped building does not.

The weirdness and abstractness of this shape are simply unseen and unheard of. Some people may believe it if they say it looks like the product of an alien civilization.

"Oops, I figured it out, it almost made me feel claustrophobic."

Qian Sheng grinned and held his waist.

Wang Qiang came out angrily and complained:
"Old Lin, can't you dig the hole a little wider? I almost got stuck in it."

The two of them lowered their heads and patted the loess on their bodies. Suddenly, Wang Qiang raised his head and shouted:
"Old Lin, watch your back!"

At this moment, Lin Yi was concentrating on the strange scene in front of him, completely unaware of what was behind him.

When he heard Wang Qiang's yell, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found a tall black figure standing behind him, who seemed to be holding a weapon in his hand.

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

At the very moment, the engineering shovel in Wang Qiang's hand flew out and hit the shadow's hand impartially.

Only a "bang" sound was heard.

There were a few sparks in the darkness, and the sapper fell to the ground.

Lin Yi seized this time difference and rolled backwards. He had already pulled out the compound bow from his bag. He closed his hands, fell down, opened his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the black figure's head.

The whole set of movements is smooth and smooth, and it is completed in one go.

At the same time, the headlight on his head also shone on the face of this dark figure.

What came into view was a dark face, a black steel beard, and the image of a warrior in chain mail.

Standing on a high platform, he raised one hand above his head and held a sword in the other hand, making a downward slashing motion.

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

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

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

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

"You're right, you're almost catching up with me."

"Go, go, I'm eager to save people, don't act like a wolf here."

Between brothers, there is no need to say too much, the friendship is kept in the heart, and the fight must be continued when it is time to quarrel.

The three of them stood still, using three headlamps and a powerful flashlight, and finally got a clear look at the situation here.

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

There are 24 bronze statues.

These bronze statues have different images, clothing, facial features and movements.

The materials are all made of brass, and each statue plus the base is at least two meters high.

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

Qian Sheng and Lin Yi have already seen the problem.

"Master Lin, how come there are objects from the Tang Dynasty in the tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty?"

Lin Yi also nodded secretly.

"I'm wondering too. The material used for these bronze statues is brass. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, brass had not been fully put into production and life. Let alone casting bronze statues, even the Emperor Zhou didn't have a few brass utensils."

"There are also the clothes and the open face of the figure. The shape is extremely free, the shape is flexible and not rigid. This is the sculpture style of the Tang Dynasty."

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

The shapes of the characters are relatively rigid, showing a flat state. They mostly use cutting techniques to shape them, and use techniques that combine relief and double-hook engraving. They look relatively simple and unsophisticated. "

"You are an expert, you can get to the point right away, but in the current situation"

Lin Yi was also confused now and could not clearly see the situation.

Wang Qiang seems to have made a new discovery.

"Old Lin, shopkeeper Qian, come over and have a look. Is this person riding on both sides of the Yellow River and beating the powerful Taibao of the three prefectures and six prefectures-Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao?"

In front of him, there was indeed a bronze statue, which looked like a tattooed scholar, but was dressed in military uniform.

A treasured sword was hung at his waist, with one hand on the hilt and the other on his waist.

"How did you know that he is Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao?"

Wang Qiang pointed at the foot of the bronze statue with the engineering shovel in his hand.

"Well, isn't this written? Hu Guogong - Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao."

Qian Sheng and Lin Yi took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a title written between the feet of the bronze statue.

The two of them had been discussing the year of the bronze statue and had not noticed this detail at all.

"If this bronze statue is Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, then wouldn't these 24 bronze statues be..."

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

"The British Duke-Li Ji, Li Maogong!"

Lin Yi ran to the next bronze statue.

"The Duke of Ju - Tang Jian, Tang Maoyue!"

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

"The 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!"

Wang Qiang was confused.

"What are the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion? Isn't it the 46 friends of Wagang Village?"

Qian Sheng pulled Wang Qiang aside, and quietly pointed to the live camera on his body.

"Master Wang, you are showing your timidity. You said this is a story in the Pingshu "Sui and Tang Dynasties". What I told Mr. Lin is something that actually existed in history."

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course it is different. In the 17th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 643 AD, Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered the great painter Yan Liben to paint portraits of 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion in order to commemorate the many heroes who conquered the world together. "Picture", the proportions are all life-size, and the portraits are all standing facing north.

This Lingyan Pavilion was originally located in the Taiji Palace in ancient Xijing. Later, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty continued to add portraits of famous officials from various dynasties. Finally, it was destroyed by war in the late Tang Dynasty. This original Lingyan Pavilion had 24 heroes. The whereabouts of the portrait are unknown. "

Qian Sheng explained from the side.

Wang Qiang nodded as if he understood.

"Oh, that's what happened. Hey, if the 24 bronze statues we discovered can be proven to be from the same era as the 24 portraits in that pavilion, will it mean that this thing is priceless?"

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

"Master Wang, you are really a good material for this business, and I really let you talk. I dare not say more about the value of these 20 bronze statues. Do you know the animal head in the Old Summer Palace?

The value of these bronze statues is only higher than that of those things! "
