Chapter 326 Four Figurines of the Tang Tomb
In the end, Xiao Ying put a total of four things on an empty desk.

It is also the four antiques that the blue light of the nebula mirror is shooting at.

After Yu Yao looked at them one by one, he couldn't help but ask Lin Shaocong, "These four must come from the same tomb, right? Why did Young Master Cong place them so scatteredly?"

These are four Tang tricolor pottery figurines.

Two of the terracotta figurines of the Heavenly King have basically the same appearance. They are both dressed in bright armor with belts on the waist and boots on both feet; shoulder pads with the dragon head and armor on the abdomen.

However, the postures of the two terracotta statues are different. One terracotta terracotta terracotta is frowning, its eyes are wide open, and its teeth are bared;Another figurine of the Heavenly King has a majestic face, tightly closed lips, one hand behind the back, and the other raising a fist.

There are also two figurines of civil servants, whose posture and expression are roughly similar, with their hands folded in front of their chests, and their expressions are solemn and solemn; although they are all dressed in long robes with long sleeves, they are slightly different, and the crowns are also different.

The four pottery figurines all have green, brown, white, and yellow colored glazes, which are bright and slightly bright.

"Mr. Yu has good eyesight. It is indeed from the same tomb, and I bought it from Hong Kong Island. With my eyesight, I can tell the truth, but I can't tell when it was unearthed; after I bought it, I asked an expert to look at it, but was told It has not been unearthed for a long time, and I do not know how it was transferred to Hong Kong Island. Therefore, it is recommended to store them separately."

Xiao Ying nodded, "This is the tomb and burial vessel of the same tomb. They have been guarded for more than a thousand years. Not only must they be opened separately, but also the location must be paid attention to; the location you placed before was also instructed by an expert? It was not at all. questionable."

In the history of China, there are two famous burial dynasties, one is the Han Dynasty and the other is the Tang Dynasty.The Han Dynasty was mainly the Western Han Dynasty, and gradually declined after the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the style of thick burials prevailed again.

Therefore, the favorite of tomb robbers is the Han tomb and Tang tomb.

Especially Tang tombs, as long as they have not been robbed and excavated before, when the curtain opens, there are often thousands of things.

In Tang tombs, besides gold, silver and jade wares, pottery figurines are the most abundant variety.The so-called Tang Sancai refers to the glaze color technique, and from the types of pottery figurines of the Tang Dynasty, there are all kinds of figures, animals, and utensils.

The name Tang Sancai only existed in the Republic of China, and during the Republic of China, most collectors would not collect Tang Sancai. If they got it accidentally, they would be smashed and buried on the spot.

Tang Sancai was first held up by foreigners, who believed that this kind of pottery figurine art is unique in the history of Chinese ceramics and has a very high level.

In recent years, Chinese people have also paid more attention to Tang Sancai. Many people care whether it is a ceremonial vessel or not, and they are still grandly placed on the ancient shelves as collectibles.

Lin Shaocong obviously did the same.

The positions of these four pottery figurines in the tomb are different.

In the Tang Dynasty, the terracotta figurines of heavenly kings were usually placed in pairs on both sides of the tomb door. At the same time, there would be a pair of tomb-guarding beasts, sometimes accompanied by terracotta figurines of the twelve zodiac signs.

The position of civil servant figurines is not fixed, but they are often inside the tomb, not near the tomb door.But it will also be relatively independent, and will not be placed together with animal shapes such as tricolor horses.

After hearing what Xiao Ying said, Lin Shaocong hurriedly said, "I would like to ask Master Xiao for further guidance."

"It's not impossible to collect ghost objects. There are also many ghost objects in antiques, but these four pottery figurines come from the same tomb, and it is obvious that the owner of the tomb had a high status during his lifetime, and the settings in the tomb are also extraordinary. This pair of heavenly kings The main function of the figurines is to protect the tomb; the main function of this pair of civil figurines is to accompany them. After more than a thousand years, there has been a 'response' to each other."

Hearing this, Yu Yao couldn't help but frown. He was born in a new era and lived in an environment where technology is developing rapidly. Although he has seen Xiao Ying's own methods, these chaotic gods on external objects are more or less the same. A bit unacceptable.

Xiao Ying looked at Yu Yao, "Let me put it another way, in a closed environment, coupled with the influence of the 'breath' of the tomb owner's body, as well as the exquisitely designed tomb layout, the objects in the tomb, after more than a thousand years , there will be a subtle connection similar to the spiritual magnetic field. After death, the spiritual power may not disappear, and the ancients often used the soul to describe it."

Lin Shaocong also looked at Yu Yao, and thought that Master Xiao treated him very differently. A Taoist master actually frowned because of him, and had to combine some "science" things to explain.

Xiao Ying continued, "Let's put it simply, after these four pottery figurines from Tang tombs were unearthed, the mutual 'response' between them eased; and after being brought into this collection room by you, it was originally an 'opportunity', but you have Experts pointed out that they were separated and placed in different directions, so that the 'response' has not been strengthened. However, although this nebula mirror from the Han Dynasty has been unearthed, it is not an ordinary bronze mirror."

"A magic weapon?" Lin Shaocong couldn't help but say it.

"It's not a magic weapon. A magic weapon is something used by Taoism, Buddhism and other Taoist sects. However, this is a mirror to ward off evil, hung on the lintel of the main room, to sense heaven and earth, to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and it is different from ordinary nebula mirrors. .”

Yu Yao nodded again and again, "The details of the shape are indeed different from the ordinary Western Han nebula mirrors. The breasts are bigger, the connecting lines are thicker, and the shape of the continuous arc moiré is a bit strange. Sixteen are common, but here are twelve.”

"The 28 constellations correspond to the celestial phenomena, and the number of twelve corresponds to the earthly branches." Xiao Ying nodded, "Major Cong placed this nebula mirror in the middle of the storage room, facing the door, so that it can illuminate the whole situation; every time the door is opened, the light source Direct response, it is this mirror that recreated the 'response' of the four terracotta figurines!"

Lin Shaocong didn't speak, but cold sweat broke out, and he felt lingering fear.

"One mirror and four figurines form an array. Similar situations, in fact, also exist in nature, because some sudden changes, such as new buildings, lead to changes in the local environment, resulting in many unexplainable weird phenomena. This is also a 'array' The so-called array can also be interpreted as a small independent special magnetic field.”

When Yu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Xiao Ying smiled slightly at Yu Yao, then looked at Lin Shaocong and said, "The 'array' in your collection room mainly produces evil energy. This evil is for you Young Master Cong; The tomb was picked up, and the original 'array' was destroyed. The pottery figurines in the original tomb infected the tomb owner's resentment, or negative spiritual power, and were stimulated in the newly formed 'array'. This was backfired."

"Ah? So I haven't completely liberated yet? Master Xiao, is there a cure?"

"You are questioning my professional ability." Xiao Ying looked at Lin Shaocong with a half-smile.

"I was just in a moment of anxiety, so I blurted out, I just want to ask Master Xiao to continue to enlighten me." Lin Shaocong immediately explained, "Please don't be offended by Master Xiao."

"Don't worry Young Master Cong, since you think highly of me, I will keep you safe!"
