The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 167 Extra [-]: Tomb of Qin

The Qinling Mountains stretching across the earth are like a heavenly gate, cutting off the north and south.Lush and wild hazelnuts, rough and beautiful.

But in the corner of the branch of the Qinling Mountains, it passes through the bustling metropolis and stands on the earth.

"Rumble..."

The high-speed train quickly passes through the elevated highway erected above the fields, bringing with it a roaring sound and the longing of the wanderer in the distance. It returns quickly, wanting to return to its hometown, just like a fallen leaf returning to its roots, looking for the last comfort.

Birds flocked through the dense and golden wheat fields. They chirped and landed on the treetops, alert to the scarecrow standing in the field.

When the scarecrow is not paying attention, it flies down and pecks at it.

West Ann.

Today's metropolis, but in the past, there was a name full of historical significance - Xianyang.

The high-speed train rushes towards this metropolis quickly and then disappears among the high-rise buildings.

People were busy, laughing, scolding, chasing... enjoying the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

"I heard that an ancient tomb was discovered on Lishan Mountain outside the city. I wonder what treasures will be unearthed!"

"In this world, you can step on the tomb of an ancient prince and general without even taking two steps. What's so strange about this?"

"Oh, it has been almost six years since the Line [-] subway was built, right? The engineering team is not busy, but the archaeological team is quite busy..."

"..."

……

On the treetop, a swallow with shiny feathers tilted its head and looked at the two two-legged beasts who were talking below, seeming to be curious about the content of their conversation.

After watching it for a while, it seemed that the movements of the two two-legged beasts startled it, and it immediately spread its wings and flew away.

News of the discovery of an ancient tomb on Lishan Mountain spread like wildfire, attracting some bored people to watch.

Especially the college students nearby.

Lishan has always been a famous mountain in ancient times. Not to mention that the tomb of the First Emperor is at the foot of Lishan, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are also famous overseas.

Of course, it would be just an ordinary ancient tomb, but the ancient tomb discovered this time is very strange.

According to news reports: The ancient tomb was made by hollowing out a mountain, first digging a hole, and then digging into the mountain.

Just like the tomb of King Liang Xiao in Mangdang Mountain in Shangqiu, Central Plains Province.

but;

What shocked the experts was the entrance to the cave.

Because, the huge stone blocking the entrance of the cave can fit perfectly with the stone wall at the entrance, and not even a needle can fit into the gap.

Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but experts have included more than 2000 years of weathering.

At the same time, the huge boulder blocking the entrance of the cave weighs dozens of tons, and the entrance of the cave is more than ten meters above the ground. It is difficult to imagine how the ancients transported it up and blocked the entrance of the cave.

At this time, in a valley, local staff had blocked it, and the melon-eaters could only watch from the outside.

Inside, a gray-haired old professor pointed at the entrance of the cave and said: "The entrance to the cave and the boulder blocking the entrance are the same kind of stone, and they were taken from the mountain wall. In other words, the ancients chiseled the stone from the mountain first. Come down and put it aside first. After the entire ancient tomb is repaired, put the stone back to its original place to serve as the tomb door!"

"What the professor means is, what kind of tools did the ancients use to cut the huge rocks out of the stone wall, and then put them back together to fit perfectly?"

"Correct!"

The gray-haired professor nodded, "After all, when cutting huge rocks, there will inevitably be losses, and it is impossible to achieve a perfect fit!"

"Is it possible? Laser cutting was possible in ancient times!"

A young archaeologist on the side said so.

Outside the blockade, the people who came to watch the excitement this time were mainly the elderly people nearby, not many young people.However, at the very front, there was a woman wearing a red and black dress, staring intensely at the archaeological site ahead.

Her black hair was pulled up, and a wooden stick that seemed to be picked up randomly was used as a hairpin on the top of her head to tie it up.

And on his shoulder, there was a little swallow stopping.

An aunt on the side looked curious when she saw the woman and the swallow on her shoulder.

"Girl, are you a college student from nearby?"

"……no."

The woman looks beautiful, but her reaction is a bit slow, as if she was distracted during class.

Hearing the aunt next to her talking to her, the woman slowly reacted and then answered.

"No? Is there a job assigned? Is there anyone you want?"

"No."

The aunt's enthusiasm made the woman feel a little at a loss.

However, the aunt continued to ask, "Your pet is a swallow, right? Can swallows be kept as pets?"

"...I don't know, I can't drive him away!"

The woman said, then raised her hand to pat the swallow on her shoulder. The swallow quickly flew up to avoid it, and under the curious eyes of the uncles and aunts, it landed on the woman's shoulder again.

This made the uncles and aunts marvel at it for a while.

"You are a woman with a lot of spirit. Swallows like you!"

"Why don't you give Aunt your contact information and I'll introduce you to a boyfriend!"

As she spoke, the aunt took out a mobile phone with a chrysanthemum mark from her pocket and motioned for the woman to add a contact information.

woman:"……"

Under the aunt's gaze, the woman was silent for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "My hand... I forgot to bring my cell phone!"

"...After all, I was just out for a stroll, so I didn't bring it with me."

The woman seemed to be afraid of arousing the aunt's suspicion, so she explained again.

As he said that, he patted his dress to indicate that he had no pockets on his dress, and said that he really "didn't bring any".

"Fine……"

Seeing this, the aunt was also a little disappointed, but she still held the woman's hand and chatted with a kind face.

"We reported this as an ancient tomb!"

"We live nearby. Half a month ago, a loud noise suddenly came from the mountains in the middle of the night. At that time, we thought there was an earthquake, and we were so scared that we ran downstairs!"

"However, nothing happened, but I heard the sound coming from the mountain, so I went up the mountain to check during the day, and found the ancient tomb in front of me!"

"There was a crack at that time, but I didn't know it was an ancient tomb. After reporting it, experts said it was an ancient tomb, and it was the tomb of Qin!"

"Alas, we can dig a tomb every day. It's quite a shame for our ancestors!"

The aunt said humorously.

woman:"……"

……

At this time, large-scale lifting equipment had also come forward, and then under the roar of the machine, the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave was slowly pulled out. With the sound of exclamation, the boulder weighing dozens of tons was put aside.

"Don't worry, we have tested it with equipment. The ancient tomb is well ventilated with the outside world, and there will be no weathering due to the opening of the hole!"

Experts in the field say so.

The implication: It needs to be weathered, and it has been weathered for more than 2000 years!

As the archeology continued, some of the onlookers outside left early because they were bored, leaving only the adults and aunts who were really "bored" and stayed there.

Of course, there is also a woman with a little swallow.

"The ancient tomb is very simple, with only a wooden coffin, and even the wooden coffin does not have any patterns or carvings..."

This left many archaeological experts at a loss.

However, they could tell from the cloth in the coffin that this extremely simple tomb was indeed from the Qin Dynasty. "Teacher, a short sword was found here!"

"Huh? Dagger?!"

The old professor hurried over and saw that the student had already cleared out a dagger.

Under the sunlight, the dagger still shone with a sharp cold light without any trace of decay.

"This……"

"There are also inscriptions on it..."

"This is the small seal script from the Qin Dynasty..."

"These two words are..."

"……summer!"

……

……

The news of the Qin tomb being unearthed on Lishan Mountain was circulated in a small area. Even if someone heard it, they were just slightly surprised and went about their business again.

After all, this city has a rich cultural heritage that cannot be compared with other cities.

For example, on Lishan Mountain not far from where the Qin Tomb was discovered, there is a group of palaces, shaded by lush trees, hazy, like a palace in heaven.

Especially every morning, the breeze blows gently, and the mist floats up and down like white clouds in the sky.

Under the sunlight, thousands of rays of light are reflected, and rainbows span the sky and the earth.

Temple of Divine Birds.

Legend has it that it was built at the end of the Warring States Period. It was built by King Qin Huiwen of the Qin State and was built for the legendary divine bird.Subsequently, the Divine Bird Temple stood on this land, spanning more than 2000 years of Chinese history.

In the history books of every dynasty, the three words "Sacred Bird Palace" will appear, leaving infinite reverie for future generations.

It seems that ancient dynasties were all born around the Divine Bird Palace.

Of course, this is just an illusion of later generations.

Over the course of 2000, Lishan Mountain has evolved into a group of palaces. It has also become a national [-]A tourist attraction and has been selected into the World Cultural Heritage List.

At this moment, outside the palace complex, a beautiful woman wearing a red and black dress came from a distance. She looked in the direction of the main hall of the Divine Bird Palace in the distance, with a heavy look in her eyes. complex.

"I didn't expect that things would change a lot here..."

The woman's red lips parted slightly, and she spoke with a slight sigh.

"It has indeed changed..."

On her shoulder, a swallow stood, and a voice came into her ears.

As the woman slowly entered, a voice introduced them one by one in his ear:

"The outermost building was built during the Ming Dynasty..."

"Ming Dynasty?"

The woman was confused, but at this moment, her eyes were attracted by the picture on the side.

I saw a pair of young parents with their children, probably eight or nine-year-old girls, with happy smiles on their faces.

Then, a photo full of sunlight was taken in front of the palace.

Afterwards, the parents took their children and walked towards the palace.

Cozy and peaceful.

The woman looked at it in a daze. After a moment, she came back to her senses and continued to walk inside.

Then, a voice sounded in my ears, "The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that was more than 600 years ago. The emperor at that time heard the legend of the Divine Bird Palace, so he built a palace here to protect the top palace..."

As the woman walked forward, she saw that the style of the palace in front of her changed drastically again, and the voice continued to sound:
"This is a palace built by a dynasty named 'Song'..."

"This was built by a dynasty named 'Tang'..."

At this moment, a girl next to me suddenly walked over. Seeing that the woman was alone, she curiously looked at the little swallow on the woman's shoulder, and then boldly said:
"Beautiful sister, do you want a guide? I'm familiar with this place. If my sister wants to hear stories, I can tell them too!"

The sudden appearance of the girl caught the woman's attention. After a moment, she looked at the girl and asked: "How old are you, and what stories do you know?"

"I am 17 years old, a senior in high school, and will be a college student soon!"

"I'm taking advantage of the summer vacation to earn pocket money..."

"Earn pocket money?"

The woman was curious, so she spread out a red banknote in her delicate hands and handed it to the girl.

"Too many, I only need twenty!"

"Here, I have some change..."

Then, the girl took the woman into the palace again.

The girl explained to the woman very seriously.

"This place was built during the Tang Dynasty. Historical records record that there were divine birds during the Tang Dynasty, and the princesses of the Tang Dynasty were helped by the divine birds to fight for the country. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the world was stable, weapons were stored in the treasury, and horses were released to Nanshan. And that one The princess has also been a sacred bird all her life and has never married..."

The girl's words immediately made the woman stunned. This princess of the Tang Dynasty made the woman feel particularly familiar.

Afterwards, the two continued to climb the mountain and came to the palace higher up. "This place was built during the Han Dynasty. I heard that it was built under the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty..."

"...According to unofficial records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che lived for nearly 200 years!!"

The girl suddenly lowered her voice and said.

"Year 200?"

The woman also expressed doubts at the right time.

"That's right! I heard it's also related to the legend of the divine bird!"

The girl looked serious, and then took the woman to visit one by one. Finally, the two came to the palace at the top.

The palace at the top is even older, and every step is full of the weight of time.

But for women, every brick and stone here is so familiar.

"This is the real Divine Bird Palace. Legend has it that it was built during the Qin Dynasty during the reign of King Qin Huiwen..."

"...Oh, it should have been called Qin State at that time!"

The girl corrected the mistake in her words, and then said: "The entire Divine Bird Temple was built for the legendary sacred bird, and this place has experienced many wars, but every ruler has a deep love for the sacred bird. The palace is well protected, so treat it with caution."

"Although the original Divine Bird Palace was damaged in later generations, it was restored to its original appearance. At the same time, in order to express respect for the Divine Bird, the rulers of each dynasty also built palaces outside the Divine Bird Palace."

"As time went by, it became such a magnificent palace complex!"

Looking up at the ancient and magnificent Bird Palace, a look of reminiscence appeared on the woman's face, and she stood quietly like this.

Seeing this, the girl on the side had a look of confusion on her face, but she stopped talking and stayed with the woman quietly.

After a long time, the woman came back to her senses, then looked at the girl who had been by her side, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said:
"Thank you for your explanation, you explained it very well!"

"By the way, what's your name?"

The woman looked at the girl.

"My name is Qin Jingjing!"

It was a very common name, but the girl had a mysterious look on her face and said, "Even though my name is very common, my ancestor was from the Qin Dynasty, and his name was Qin Wuji. It is said that he was from the same period as this Divine Bird Temple! "

"Qin Wuji..."

Hearing this, the woman was stunned and looked at the girl's innocent and carefree face, unable to speak for a long time.
