The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 49 36 Bronze Man (1)
Right in front of it is a wide and short corridor, the ground is paved with large bluestone, and there are twelve tall gilded copper pillars standing on both sides.This dazzling light is emitted from the twelve gilt copper pillars and the dragon head lamp on the wall. The copper pillars are hollowed out, and there is something like a gemstone that emits a strong white light embedded in it.Two five-clawed golden dragons hovering upwards were carved on each copper pillar, with their heads sticking out abruptly, looking at us with their mouths open.

"What is this? The ancients also had fluorescent lamps?" I asked as I touched the bright light on the pillar.

"Although I have never seen this thing, it may be the 'Shining Star Stone' told to me by those craftsmen who planed the big pit before. It is said that this kind of stone comes from the stubborn rocks on the mountains north of Lake Baikal and near the Caucasus. , absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon for thousands of years, one day the stubborn stone will come out naturally, there is such a thing on the top of the mountain, the night in the nearby ten miles and eight villages will be like day." Old Zhongtou said.

I thought about it, and there is a similar record in the "Earth Chapter" in "The Record of Ancient Gods and Monsters", saying that "by the coast of the North Sea, the mountain has the essence of a stubborn stone, and it is now thousands of miles away... It is also called 'Sun Stone'... "

This passage can be regarded as the earliest record of the "Yaoxing Stone" by the ancients, because in ancient my country, Lake Baikal was once called "the North Sea", and it is likely to be this kind of stone.

"This Yuan Taizu really has all kinds of tricks. The treasures from such a far away place have been looted, so it can be seen how many working people's blood and sweat are still in this pit!" said the fat man.

In fact, when Genghis Khan personally marched to the coast of the Black Sea, it is not difficult to search for such treasures, but what the fat man said made sense.

"What kind of gemstones are the eyes of this dragon made of? They are so beautiful!" The fat man found that the eyes of the five-clawed golden dragon were made of two green gemstones.

As soon as the tip of the knife touched the eye, I saw the dragon's mouth open and close slightly, and suddenly felt something was wrong, only to hear the old clock shout: "Run!"

As soon as everyone ran out a few steps, I saw several dragons on the pillar behind us spraying out several long tongues of flames. I wanted to rush back to save Fatty, but the golden dragons behind us sprayed out flames one after another, forcing We had to run forward desperately.

But the golden dragons on the six pairs of copper pillars suddenly staggered and spewed tongues of flames. The flames in front forced us to retreat, and before we could stand still, tongues of flames spewed out from behind again.Seeing that the flames were about to burn my unsteady body, Xiang Ru and John grabbed me and pulled me back.

"I'll count one, two, three, let's rush out and see its fire-breathing jet lag, how about it?" I shouted to everyone.

"it is good!"

"One, two, three, go!" The flames almost reached our faces, I shouted, and rushed out together with everyone while protecting our faces while the golden dragon was breathing fire.

As soon as we stood still, we felt that the flames behind us were getting smaller and smaller, and then gradually disappeared, so we turned around to look for the fat man.But the fat man jumped out from behind the pillar with an embarrassing smile on his face, which shocked us.

"You boy, I told you not to move, you are biased! Are you okay?" Everyone asked worriedly.

"It's okay? Fatty, if I didn't hide so fast, I would have almost turned into a Peking duck. It's so fucking scary!" The fat man sighed and laughed.

"Even if you have been roasted at most, you will be considered a half-cooked suckling pig!" I was so angry that I couldn't laugh or cry.

After we finished talking and laughing, we realized that everyone was already standing in a magnificent front hall.The top of the hall is a typical yurt-style dome, with cloud-headed flowers inlaid with blue glazed tiles, shining brightly under the light.Around it stood some tall gilded stone pillars, connected to the upper dome.

It is said that life is like a dream, how many people can dream of such a scene?I think now we can be sure that we have found the tomb of Genghis Khan in the legend of everything, and the unremarkable "Podou" we found at the beginning is just a "suspect tomb". I can't help but secretly admire Genghis Khan's strategy, If it weren't for the sound of the drum, we would never have found this place.Everyone's excited hearts seemed to jump out, and they kept clicking their tongues in admiration.

"Hey! The pit of the Eternal Emperor is different! Even the top is round!" The fat man raised his head and said.

"This is called 'Dome Roof', and it was built by the Mongolian people in imitation of a yurt. It can only be seen in high-end Mongolian tombs." Lao Zhongtou explained.

"Mygod!" John's eyes were dazzled, and he kept looking around and exclaiming: "This Genghis Khan is really amazing, we can't see such a place in the United States!"

I thought nonsense, it would be hell if you could see such a place in the United States!

The surrounding walls are mosaiced with various colored glazed bricks, which are the glorious events of Genghis Khan's military career in the South and North.

Among them is the case where his father was killed by the Tatars when he was nine years old, and the case where his wife Mier was snatched away by beggars when he was young.

To our surprise, the "Battle of the Thirteen Wings" that caused Genghis Khan's disastrous defeat was described here. "Battle of the Thirteen Wings" tells the story of Jamuhe, who became "Anda" with Genghis Khan in the early years, and Genghis Khan turned against each other. Wing to fight, the result was a disastrous defeat.

As the saying goes, "Win the king and lose the bandit". The ancient Chinese emperors were all history-makers. After they succeeded, they would try their best to erase some disgraceful things in their own history and exaggerate some things that would make them even better.But Genghis Khan did not do this, but here faithfully recorded the battle in which he suffered a disastrous defeat.Such a magnanimity has to convince us that this spirit of facing up to history is indeed the work of a stalwart man.

Behind it is the scene of Genghis Khan establishing Mongolia. The tall man sitting in the middle of the hall is Genghis Khan. On the two sides below stand the "Four Heroes", namely Borshu, Borhu, Mu Huali, and Chilaowen, the four founding heroes of the Yuan Dynasty. .

A small picture after the picture of the founding of Genghis Khan caught our attention. In the painting, Genghis Khan is sitting upright, and a person who looks like a minister is presenting him with a map. On the map, a mountain peak covered with a "big bowl" is drawn. Genghis Khan He was frowning and thinking about something.

This should be the scene where Genghis Khan was planning with his advisers to find the Chiwu tribe on Mount Tai Everest. The "big bowl" on the peak is the huge flying saucer we met that fell on the earth for thousands of years, but Genghis Khan just decided He made a plan, but died before it was carried out, and had to leave it to his son to carry it out.

After reading the last painting, we realized that Genghis Khan really died here.This painting depicts him standing on a patch of loess, with his head turned slightly to the thousands of horses and horses behind him, but his hand is waving his whip and pointing to the distance ahead, and then he falls off the horse's back and points to the ground surrounded by the officials. It is estimated that he left the will of "... standing here..." recorded in the book.There are two mountain ridges in the distance behind, and the mountain pass in the middle should be the "ghost gate" that almost scorched us.

"Zhijiang, did you hear anything?" I was thinking about it when Xiang Ru asked me in a low voice.

"No? What's the sound?" I asked blankly.

"I seemed to hear some footsteps just now, but I didn't seem to be." Xiang Ru was also at a loss.

"Hey! We guys, don't we make a sound when we walk? Those who don't make a sound are ghosts!" I grinned at Ru, and my heart trembled, ghost?Is there really something unclean following us?

"Let's be careful!" I thought about it again, and said to Xiang Ru cautiously.

The fat guy wanted to pry some gold and silver ornaments off, but the old clock and John stopped him. The old clock said with a smile: "I said, fat man, you are also the one who digs some big holes, and you do these worthless things. What? And don’t you know that all the good things are in there?”

What Fatty likes most is when others praise him. Old Zhongtou’s words really work. After hearing this, Fatty immediately smiled and said yes, put down the knife and walked in with us.

After walking through a long corridor, we realized that this is the main hall.Six columns depicting dragons and phoenixes are scattered in the hall, supporting the whole hall.Standing under the column are 36 bronze figures about the size of a real person, holding a round moon scimitar commonly seen in Mongolian soldiers, carrying a tiger and a strong bow on their backs, and dressed in the costumes of Mongolian generals, but they are exquisitely made, but they are superior to Qin Shihuang's terracotta warriors and horses. How many times, every bronze figure is a vivid work of art.

In the middle of the main hall stands a golden-armored God of War about ten feet high. He is glaring, wearing a sky-hunting crown, a dragon-scale battle armor, a black jade belt around his waist, a giant sword, seven-treasure boots on his feet, and a sword in his right hand. He has a red-tasseled silver gun, and holds a mirror-like shield in his left hand.This image is tall and mighty, like a heavenly king coming down to earth, giving people a powerful deterrent effect.

"Oh! How bold! Master Zhong, what is this golden armored god of war holding?" I saw that the silver spear held by the god of war was extremely inconsistent with the whole statue. It stands to reason that the shield holder should be holding a sword, so Asked the old clock suspiciously.

"This thing should be 'Hari Suled'," the old clock looked at it for a long time before he said: "'Hari Suled' is a spearhead on the banner that Genghis Khan used to command thousands of troops. Legend has it that When Genghis Khan once led his army to fight with his opponents on the grassland, he suffered heavy losses and his morale was low. When he was praying for strength from the heavens, suddenly a light flashed in the air, and a spear-like object hung above everyone’s heads. He ordered General Wood Hua Li took over, but failed several times. After Genghis Khan promised to sacrifice [-] horses and [-] sheep, the spear-Suled was settled. Since then, it has become Genghis Khan’s god of war , has become a symbol of the invincibility of the Mongolian iron hoof.

Just below the golden armored god of war, there is a coffin standing there. We stared at it for a long time, speechless with excitement, it should be the coffin of Genghis Khan!
Everyone stood there, staring at the coffin with wide-eyed eyes. Even the fat man who was about to open the coffin could not help admiring it, temporarily forgetting his usual style.

"Is this the coffin of Genghis Khan?" John asked excitedly.

"It should be, but there is an old saying in the digging industry, 'the mouse outside the coffin, the cat inside the coffin', this means that to determine whether the person lying in the coffin is the owner of the mausoleum, you have to open it, otherwise just look at it It is difficult to judge the inner and outer coffins. Because there have been too many cases of "doves occupying magpie's nests" since ancient times, Grandpa, didn't the Chiwu prince you found in the Loulan underground dynasty put his body in the Loulan King? Is it in your coffin?" Old Zhong Tou said.
