Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 248 Stone Statues Can Still Reflect Light?
Lin Yi pulled Bai Lu out of the water and stepped on the stone steps. The two disassembled each other's diving equipment, changed into casual clothes, and packed the equipment properly.

He turned on the strong flashlight and climbed up the stairs.

The entire passage was pitch black, with an arched structure overhead. The condensed water vapor from the well water rose up and fell into the water drop by drop from the vault.

The sound of "tick-tock-tock" is particularly clear in the deep passage.

The bright flashlight in Lin Yi's hand swept across the stone steps and surrounding walls.

The workmanship here is obviously more exquisite, with bluestone floors and blue brick walls, which are well-proportioned, complex but not chaotic.

Each piece of stone is cut neatly and stacked tightly.

This project must have been carried out by the [-] Xichuan masons who were "invited" to Qingfeng Mountain.

As we continue up this straight staircase, the moisture becomes lighter and lighter, and the surrounding environment begins to become drier.

There are also lampstands dug out in advance one by one on the wall.

There are 33 stairs in total. When you reach the end, two huge stone pillars suddenly stand in front of you.

Like the daggers used by two ancient soldiers standing in the dark.

When the lights were turned on, it turned out to be two Chinese watches with a height of three meters.

"It's Huabiao!"

Bai Lu pointed at the stone pillar and shouted.

Children who grew up in the capital, who would not know Huabiao?

"Brother Lin, why is there a Huabiao here?"

Lin Yi turned on the flashlight and carefully observed the two Chinese watches.

The three-story base is engraved with cloud patterns, and a stone-carved mythical beast "Looking at the Sky and Roaring" sits on the top.

This Chinese watch is a typical Ming Dynasty style in terms of shape and carving art form.

"Huabiao, in the Ming Dynasty, had been widely used in the Shinto of the mausoleum, and if it appeared here, it means that we really found the right place this time!"

On the other end of the camera, Wang Qiang, Qian Sheng and Fifth Brother, upon hearing Lin Yi's words, immediately became extremely excited, clapped each other's hands, and celebrated a little.

"The grandchildren of the Nanpai don't even know which way the door opens. We all went in. How can this compare?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. If you disturb the people in the front yard again, don't be in a hurry to celebrate. What's the point of this? Be quiet and don't be impatient." Qian Sheng patted Wang Qiang's shoulder, telling him Try to control your emotions.

After the two Huabiao, there are stone statues of various colors lined up on both sides of the road.

The volume of each statue is several tons upwards.

“By the Ming Dynasty, there were already clear standards for funeral regulations.

Failure to comply with this standard is overstepping the limit.

For example, the "Minghui Code" stipulates that: Dukes and first-rank and second-rank officials are Shi Wangzhu, Shihu, Shiyang, Shima, and Shiren.

The third grade is minus a pair of stone figures, and the fourth grade is a pair of stone pillars, a stone horse, and a pair of stone tigers.

The fifth rank is a pair of stone pillars, a pair of stone horses, and a pair of stone sheep. Stone statues are not allowed to be set up below the sixth rank. "

While Lin Yi was explaining to Bai Lu, he used a flashlight to look at the stone statues lying quietly on the ground one by one.

Bai Lu recited the numbers silently and counted them one after another.

"No, this number is definitely exceeded. Look, there are a pair of Huabiao, two pairs of lions, two pairs of Xiezhi, two pairs each of camels, elephants, and unicorns. This makes twelve pairs.

Not counting those stone tigers and stone horses.

Behind, there are two pairs of military ministers and civil ministers, both of which are standing figures. How correct are these? "

Lin Yi looked back with the help of a flashlight.

"It's normal, the larger the scale of this stone statue, the more it means that we have found the right place.

You have to know that Zhang Xianzhong became the emperor. As the emperor of Daxi, of course he had to adopt the regulations of the emperor's mausoleum to build his own mausoleum.This further shows that we have found the right place. This is Zhang Xianzhong's 'Tomb of the Eight Great Kings' and also the 'Tomb of the Great West King'. "

Bai Lu nodded half-understood, took out the camera, and recorded these lifelike carved stone statues one by one.

By the Ming Dynasty, the carving techniques of these stone statues had become very advanced.

It is also more realistic. In addition, these stone statues are hidden underground, and have not been weathered and eroded. They are still well preserved, but because of the influence of some water vapor, some moss grew underneath.

Bai Lu's footsteps of filming finally stopped in front of the last two stone statues.

These two stone statues stand opposite each other, one civil and one military.

Judging from the clothes, one can tell at a glance that this is an old acquaintance - Weng Zhong.

Weng Zhong in the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two types: civil and military.

Wu Wengzhong, wearing a double-eared helmet, arm armor, and holding a steel whip.

Wen Wengzhong, wearing a black gauze hat and a round collar, holds a wat board.

These are all characteristics that can be recognized at a glance, and are extremely recognizable.

"This is Shi Wengzhong. When we saw him, we were not far from the gate of the tomb."

Lin Yi explained.

"Is this really carved out of stone? Why do their armors still reflect light in the photos I took?"

"Reflection?"

Lin Yi was suddenly surprised, and when he took a closer look, it was exactly as Bai Lu said.

After she turned on the flash, the Wu Wengzhong in the photo actually had that dark, shiny reflective effect.

How come the stone carvings have a luster similar to that of lacquerware?
They were still three or four meters away from the two stone towers, and Lin Yi could already feel a faint sense of uneasiness.

Just like when they entered the "Shuangzhou Tomb" before, the road ahead was very smooth, until the stone statue was discovered, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

This time, it was Shi Xiangsheng who had a problem again.

Lin Yi drew out his sword and held it in front of him, blocking Bai Lu behind him.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lu ducked out of the way and stood side by side with him, with two more tiger claw daggers in her hands.

"Almost forgot, you also have two brushes!"

"It's not too late to think about it now."

At this moment, Wang Qiang's voice came from the intercom on Lin Yi's shoulder.

"What's the matter with you two, what happened?"

"I can't tell for a while. Anyway, the stone statues here are quite evil. I'll go over and have a look."

"Do you need reinforcements? The things we brought this time are not ordinary, do you want to try this set of American equipment?"

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, save these things for the big rice dumplings!"

After all, Lin Yi held the flashlight in one hand and slowly approached the stone statue.

It may be that the light from the flash was fleeting before, but Shi Xiangsheng was not unusual.

When the two bright flashlight beams came over, the dark "armor" on Wu Wengzhong's body actually moved slowly, and rustling sounds began to reach Lin Yi and the others' ears.

Lin Yi took a closer look and immediately felt a chill all over his body.

What kind of armor is this? It's basically a bunch of hard-shelled arthropods stacked one after another. The shell of each segment is the size of a mineral water bottle cap, and each one has at least twelve or three segments.

They were entangled with each other, wrapping the whole Shi Wengzhong tightly.
