Masterful appearance

A partially cracked but well-preserved stone relief appeared in front of Chu Tianci. Such a rectangular overall relief with a size of more than 20 square meters is rare except in temples and palaces.

But to Chu Tianci's surprise, this relief was actually something from the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty was particularly good at sculpture craftsmanship. It was mostly seen in palace buildings, bronze utensils, and tomb sculptures, and achieved epoch-making brilliant achievements.

This cannot be proved from the unearthed terracotta warriors and horses from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, but the prevalence of relief crafts was not in the Qin Dynasty. It can be said that it is difficult to find records of large-scale relief sculptures in the Qin Dynasty in any well-documented literature.

But the piece in front of him, no matter in terms of craftsmanship or technique, Chu Tianci is sure that it is a cultural relic of the Qin Dynasty, to be exact, it should be from the late Qin period.

Although the relief sculptures are old, the vivid skills on them can still describe a story to Chu Tianci.

The man kneeling among thousands of people sits alone on the top of the peak, and below is the turbulent and endless river. The man sits cross-legged and looks up into the distance, with a pious and proud expression. Chu Tianci can vaguely distinguish the hats on the hat, there are alpine crowns, magic crowns and martial crowns.

Chu Tianci was startled, this is the costume of the officials of the Qin Dynasty, the person who can make all the officials bow down...!

Chu Tianci hurriedly approached, and the man sitting alone was indeed wearing the Tongtian Crown on his head.

This is the costume of a king, and the man in the relief is Qin Shihuang.

"This is the scene of Qin Shihuang conferring on Mount Tai!" Chu Tianci whispered.

The relief pattern extends to the right, carving out a large-scale military formation system, with a huge square formation on the right, a large sparse formation on the left front, and the headquarters on the left rear.

Numerous warriors with weapons in their hands, hundreds of war horses hauling carts, line by line, form a magnificent and majestic lineup, recreating the majestic momentum of the Qin army 2000 years ago when it was fighting for millions to swallow mountains and rivers.

"This should be Qin Shihuang flaunting his great achievements in destroying the six kingdoms and unifying the world." Huo Qian said.

In the next relief sculpture, a large group of people sit cross-legged, forming a gossip shape, while Qin Shihuang sits in the middle, with a peaceful face, and one person stands on the left, right and behind. Judging from the content of the carving, it seems that some kind of ceremony is being held.

"It seems that the rumors are true. After Qin Shihuang's last tour to the east, he wanted to seek Taoism and become immortal."

After Huo Qian finished speaking, he pointed to the pattern behind and said puzzledly.

"I can understand the previous ones, and they are exactly the same as the historical records, but I don't know what the last pattern means."

Chu Tianci walked in front of the last piece of relief, which was exactly the same as the pattern of the previous ceremony, and even any of the carved figures remained unchanged, but Qin Shihuang, who was sitting in the middle before, was gone!

The next pattern is Qin Shihuang's death in the sand dunes, and the dragon coffin is pulled by the huge convoy, but it can be clearly seen from the pattern that the dragon coffin is empty and there is no one in it!

Chu Tianci subconsciously twitched his fingers. He suddenly remembered the high-level secret that Qin Weijie had told him. Three people who claimed to be thousands of years ago suddenly appeared in the present, claiming to be looking for Emperor Qin Yingzheng. This seemingly absurd rhetoric is embossed here Should be correct again.

The person who carved the relief was conveying a bizarre thing. Qin Shihuang mysteriously disappeared during his last east tour, so in the last relief, there is no one in the dragon coffin.

Chu Tianci suddenly walked to the food box, picked up the terracotta warriors that had just been put down, and compared them with those in the reliefs, and found that these terracotta warriors were very similar to the figures in the reliefs with eight diagrams, and then took a few more terracotta warriors and the figures in the reliefs. In comparison, they are very similar.

"Someone bought these terracotta warriors to reproduce the ceremony at that time!"

Chu Tianci secretly thought in his heart, that is to say, someone was very sure that Qin Shihuang was indeed missing at that time, so Chu Tianci urgently told Huo Qian when he thought of this.

"Brother Qian, don't sell a single piece of this batch!"

"Don't sell any of them?" Huo Qian looked embarrassed. "This is something Brother Ting told me, I..."

"Hehe, didn't you just say that when the sky fell, there was a taller person holding it up. No matter how I looked at it, I was taller than you. Don't worry, I'll go back and explain to Brother Ting."

Chu Tianci's explanation was very simple. When Yue Qianling and Qiu Nuo came back, he had already placed the three terracotta warriors on the table, and then he was sitting silently reading a newspaper.

It seemed that he didn't need to do the rest, even if Yue Qianling couldn't see it, there was Qiu Nuo who was doing cultural relics appraisal beside him, so Chu Tianci was not worried at all that no one would continue this drama.

The shopping street seems to be the best way for women to communicate with each other. When the three girls came back, Chu Tianci obviously found that the strange barrier between Yue Qianling and Qiu Nuo was not much left.

Yue Qianling took a bath towel and planned to take a bath. When passing by the living room, she glanced at the three terracotta warriors on the table. In Jingzhao, imitations of terracotta warriors can be seen almost all over the street, so Yue Qianling didn't care.

But when she reached the bathroom door, Yue Qianling stopped suddenly, turned her head in surprise, went to the table and picked up the terracotta warriors to look at for a long time.

"Where did you get this thing?"

"Oh, after going to the clock tower, I went for a casual stroll and saw that these things are quite unique, so I bought a few as souvenirs." Chu Tianci said casually.

"Qiu Nuo, Qiu Nuo, come quickly and help me look at this thing. Is it because my eyes are blurred, or is this counterfeiting technique already perfected?" Yue Qianling shouted.

Qiu Nuo came out of the room in a daze, took the Terracotta Warriors and looked at them.

Compared with Yue Qianling, Qiu Nuo was obviously much smarter than her, so it was a bit awkward to put the three terracotta warriors in such a blatant manner, Chu Tianci turned the newspaper to change the topic.

"By the way, where did you go to play today?"

"We went to the Terracotta Army, Famen Temple, and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, but we were exhausted." Gu Anqi said as she came out of the shower and wiped her hair. "Brother Tianci, we plan to go to Da Ci'en Temple tomorrow. I heard that incense is very prosperous there, why don't you go with us tomorrow."

"What is he going to do? He is a god stick, and Da Ci'en Temple is a temple. One is a student of Taoism, and the other is one who promotes Buddhism." Yue Qianling said with a distracted smile as expected. "He's likely to be kicked out when he goes."

Qiu Nuo is still studying the terracotta warriors in his hand. In fact, this thing is not difficult to identify, but Chu Tianci said that he bought it on the side of the road, which surprised Qiu Nuo. No matter how it looks like the real thing, how could it be sold on the side of the road? Could it be that the current cost technology has surpassed its own appraisal level?

"Brother Tianci, are these things sold on the side of the road?" Qiu Nuo asked with some uncertainty.

"It's all over the street. Jingzhao doesn't have many things, but this stuff. If you like it, I'll get you some more tomorrow."

"But... But how do I look at it? This terracotta warrior looks real. It is reasonable to say that the paint on it has been lost long ago. When it was successfully copied, why don't I know?" Qiu Nuo looked more and more surprised.

"Others rely on this skill to make a living, fooling outsiders. You are an expert in appraisal, so you can be fooled by this." Chu Tianci smiled with ease.

"Don't tell me, I have participated in the restoration and archaeology of the terracotta warriors and horses a few times. I can't tell if it is a copy, but this copy is too vivid. Now it is so worldly, and the fake is so professional." Yue Qianling's attention seemed to be still on Gu Anqi's topic just now, and what she wanted most in Lai Jingzhao was of course walking around with Chu Tianci.

"Of course, if you want, we don't mind if you go with us."

"Forget it, I'd better not go. The cracked text indicates three o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day of December. This time is very important. I don't have a clue yet. I'm just getting annoyed. You should go by yourself."

"Brother Tianci, if you are upset, you should go. Da Ci'en Temple used to be called Wulou Temple. Wulou is a Buddhist term. Leaks are all afflictions. The fruit is the meaning of degeneration. It means reincarnation of life and death without omissions. It is called no afflictions. Birth and death, worrying about life and death, there is no such thing as this, and there is no omission." Gu Anqi said seriously. "Go, just think about Zen and realize the Buddha way, and your mind will be empty."

"Worrying about life and death, there is nothing here. This is the meaning of Wulou Temple. Fortunately, the name of Wulou Temple was changed to Daci'en Temple, otherwise it would be too confusing..." Chu Tianci suddenly put down the newspaper in his hand . "Wulou Temple! Wulou? Why do I seem to have seen these two words somewhere?"

Seeing Chu Tianci's strange behavior, Gu Anqi was at a loss.

Chu Tianci seemed to be caught in the evil mouth and repeated the word Wulou repeatedly, while Qiu Nuo next to him was looking at the terracotta warriors in his hand with full attention, and the expressions of both of them were very surprising.

Suddenly, Qiu Nuo and Chu Tianci cried out excitedly almost at the same time.

"I see!"

Chu Tianci is not surprised that Qiu Nuo can see that the terracotta warriors are genuine, but there are more important things than the terracotta warriors now.

"Qiu Nuo, stop the meeting first, I know the meaning of the last four quatrains!"

"Yes? What do you mean?" Gu Anqi asked cautiously.

Chu Tianci took out a piece of paper and wrote four quatrains on it.

Centenarians never had centenarians,

Weiyang Zhonglei smelled it when he was drunk.

Now look at Amba taking the country,

The imperial edict flew down among the five clouds.

Chu Tianci pointed to the top and said cheerfully.

"This is a Tibetan acrostic poem, but it's not a Tibetan acrobatic, but a Tibetan acrobatic. Please connect the characters in the middle and read it!"

Yue Qianling lowered her head and pointed to the paper to read out word by word.

"No omissions to dominate?!"

"There is not only one place mentioned in the text. The morning bell and evening drum refer to Jingzhao, and the last four sentences are the real place we are looking for, which is the Great Mercy Temple you are going to tomorrow!"

"Wait a minute, the explanation that Wu Leu is the current Da Ci'en Temple is still in the past, but what is this bully?" Yue Qianling asked puzzled.

"Sister Qianling, among the nine sons of the dragon, the sixth eldest son is named Bixi, also known as Baxia, who looks like a turtle and is a symbol of longevity and good luck." Gu Anqi explained calmly.
