Chapter 214 Terracotta Warriors

"...Brother, come with me."

At the entrance of the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, beside the road, the middle-aged man hesitated, then nodded,

"However, I'm afraid I can't get in through the main entrance, so I can only enter through the side entrance."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man led the way at the front and walked towards the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Scenic Area.

Glancing at the middle-aged man, and then turning his head to look at the terracotta warriors and horses scenic spot in front of him, Lian Ge moved away again and followed the middle-aged man towards the front.

……

As we move forward, the buildings in the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses gradually emerge from the dark night and appear in front of us.

The main entrance of the museum is an antique building. Go up the stairs and look inward through the door. Inside is the interior of the museum.

Before reaching the stairs, the middle-aged man led Lian Ge around the building at the main entrance and walked sideways.

Following the wall, facing the night, after walking for a while,

Lian Ge and the middle-aged man paused again.

Turning around, a glass door appeared in sight.

The glass door is half open, behind the door is the spacious hall, the hall is brightly lit, there are still many people walking around, busy, it seems that they are the staff of the museum.

Next to the glass door, there is a guard post, and a security guard is inside the post, working persistently.

"...This is the staff passage, it's connected to the lecture hall, let's enter from here."

The middle-aged man looked at the busy staff behind the door through the glass door, smiled, then turned his head and said to Lian Ge.

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, smiled, and didn't answer.

"Let's go, brother."

With that said, the middle-aged man walked towards the hall row behind the glass door.

Looking away, Lian Ge also moved away and walked beside the middle-aged man.

And beside that door, the security personnel in the sentry post seemed to turn a blind eye to the two of them, allowing them to step into the lecture hall of the museum.

……

It seems that there will be some event tomorrow morning. In the lecture hall, a group of staff are busy arranging the venue.

After the two stepped into the lecture hall, they did not stop.

The middle-aged man was leading the way at the front, Lian Ge walked unhurriedly, and passed the reporting hall together with the middle-aged man.

"Brother, this way..."

Pushing open the door again, Lian Ge and the middle-aged man stepped out of the building where the lecture hall was located, and stepped into the interior of the museum.

Then, the pitch-black night appeared above the head again, and the surroundings became quiet again.

……

"...The Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses is open-air as a whole, and it is divided into roughly three museums. Brother, where do you want to go first, I will take you there to have a look, just as a landlord."

The middle-aged man looked at Lian Ge with a smile and asked aloud.

"Brother works here?" Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man and asked calmly, "Hasn't it been a long time?"

"Yeah, it's been a long time." The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in front of him, "I've been here since the museum existed."

"How about the hall of Pit No. [-]? It's the largest pit of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses among the three pits." The middle-aged man turned his head, looked at Lian Ge and asked,

"Then go to Pit No. [-]." Lian Ge nodded and replied.

"Then brother, come with me." The middle-aged man smiled, turned around, and walked along the road in the museum towards the No. [-] pit.

Glancing at the quieter museum under the night, Lian Ge looked away, moved away again, and walked towards the front side with the middle-aged man.

……

After a while.

In front of Pit No. [-] of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Lian Ge and the middle-aged man stopped one after another.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. [-] venue was pitch black, like other buildings, hidden in the night, only showing some outlines.

Looking at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. [-] venue, the eyes of the middle-aged man paused for a long time, and after a long time, he regained his sight.

"Brother, let's go in..."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man led the way from the front and walked into the venue.

……

The arena door is open,

After stepping in, tunnels appear in front of you.

"...Brother, I'm sorry, there are no lights in the venue, and they are not allowed to turn on the lights usually. It's night now, so I can only look at it like this."

The middle-aged man stopped in front of the tunnel and the tourist viewing platform, turned around, and said to Lian Ge.

Hearing this, Lian Ge slightly shook his head,

Although the venue was pitch-black, it had no effect on Lian Ge. Through the moonlight and starlight through the lighting glass on the top, all kinds of things in the venue were clearly presented to Lian Ge.

In the continuous burial tunnels, there are clay figurines standing in a row, either wearing battle robes or armor, forming a huge army formation, which seems to be undergoing a review, with a magnificent momentum paving the way. Come.

At the same time, the mottled marks on the pottery figurines, the seemingly indelible dust, also tell the past years.

"...Brother, let's be shocked." The middle-aged man walked along the tunnel and looked forward, "When Pit No. [-] was excavated, I came here with my mentor at that time and participated in the excavation work. "

"After a little bit of excavation, the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses who have been buried in the ground for thousands of years are presented to me and my mentor..."

The middle-aged man looked at the pit of pottery figurines and seemed to be lost in memory,

"At that time, I asked my mentor, had he seen such a spectacular picture? He told me, no, this is the most spectacular picture he has ever seen since he was engaged in archaeological work..."

"At that time, these terracotta figurines were not standing here in such a regular manner as they are now, but they were scattered in the tunnel, embedded in the mud, and some of their torsos were broken... I followed my instructor and participated in the excavation. While doing repair work..."

A smile gradually appeared on the face of the middle-aged man,

"Brother, look over there, I repaired the terracotta warriors over there." The middle-aged man looked at a figure of terracotta warriors not far away, and said aloud,

Lian Ge followed the sight of the middle-aged man, looked at the terracotta warriors, then turned his eyes to look at the middle-aged man,

"Brother, have you been here all this time?"

"Yes, it's always been here." The middle-aged man looked back, nodded, and continued,

"At that time, although I also felt that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit of Qin Shihuang was a great discovery and a spectacular picture, it was far less exciting than my mentor... Slowly, as time passed, I became more and more aware that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit The picture of this is also in this mind, more and more lingering.

It's just a pity that my mentor went there early and didn't see the completion of the museum, nor did he see the completion of the excavation of the No. [-] and No. [-] tunnels. "

After a pause, the middle-aged man shook his head,

"Let's not talk about that, let me tell you about the No. [-] pit."

While talking, the middle-aged man moved his feet, walked along the tourist viewing platform, and walked towards the interior of the museum.

"...Look, there are enough terracotta warriors, more than 8000. When I excavated them, I couldn't help wondering whether the first emperor really planned to take these terracotta warriors to the underworld to continue fighting. Otherwise, why did he cast so many people? The figurines, horse figurines, and chariots are so lifelike..."

"...And in this No. [-] pit, when many terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed, there were traces of man-made destruction, but I don't know, was it Xiang Yu's work?"

Looking at the terracotta warriors and horses in the tunnel, the middle-aged man's eyes were a little obsessed, and his thoughts seemed to drift away.

"...In my whole life, I have seen the terracotta warriors the most. I have spent most of my life with the terracotta warriors. Now that I close my eyes, I still think about the terracotta warriors."

"According to my wife, I am possessed by a demon..."

Chapter 215 History

"...When I was young, I was interested in the stories behind these ancient objects. I always felt that these things have existed for such a long time, and they must have experienced many things."

"Looking at them, I can't help thinking about the process of making them, the painstaking efforts of the masters who made these pottery figurines, and whether they played a certain role in a certain period of history and a certain story during these long years. "

Wiping the railing next to the tourist stand with his hand, the middle-aged man moved sideways while looking at the various pottery figurines in the tunnels in front of him,

"Like now, when we are looking at them, are they also looking at us. Or, once, at a certain moment, whether there were people looking at them like us."

"...I am fascinated by the interweaving of history and present, so I applied for the archeology major and wanted to hear some of the stories behind these ancient objects."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man paused again, leaning his hands on the railing, looking at the tunnel,

"...Brother, look there. When the excavation was first excavated, there were traces of burning in that place, as if it had been set on fire. You said that when the raging fire was burning, these How does the terracotta figurine stand here?

Since it was deliberately destroyed, why didn't it all be smashed, and how did the fire go out in the end..."

Before Lian Ge could answer, the middle-aged man shook his head, wiped the railing, and continued to walk to the side.

"...When I was young, when I applied for this major, my family disagreed. They thought that there was no mechanical major, and the manufacturing major had a future and was safe. At that time, I was young and stubborn, so I thought this major This job is interesting, and I insisted on learning it. In the end, my parents had no choice but to agree..."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man couldn't help showing a smile on his face,

"...Little brother, this No. [-] pit has also come to an end, I will take you to the No. [-] pit to have a look."

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Lian Ge.

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man and nodded.

Afterwards, the two of them moved away again and walked towards the outside of the No. [-] pit venue.

……

As the night darkened, the obliquely hanging moon slowly rose into the sky, and the museum became more and more quiet.

Lian Ge and the middle-aged man moved into the venue where the No. [-] tunnel was located.

"... Pit No. [-] is smaller than Pit No. [-], but the terracotta warriors inside are much more complicated, and the formation of the terracotta warriors is much more complicated, and the types of terracotta warriors are also more complicated. When excavated, together with the pottery warriors Along with the figurines, there are also a large number of weapons."

"...There is a crossbow array over there. There are kneeling and standing crossbow terracotta warriors, forming a crossbow array firing alternately...there is a chariot formation over there, and the one on the far side is The cavalry formation..."

The middle-aged man was narrating in detail, with a smile on his face again,

"...Brother, isn't this picture spectacular?"

Lian Ge heard the words, glanced at the middle-aged man, glanced at the terracotta warriors and horses in front of him, nodded,

"It's spectacular."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled again,

Immediately afterwards, the smile gradually faded away, and after a pause, he looked at the terracotta warriors and horses in front of him, seemingly lost in memory,

"...When I was admitted to this major, there were only a few people in a classroom. On the first day, the instructor told us to make us mentally prepared."

"I didn't understand it at the time. I just entered this business and it was still fresh. As a result, on the second day of school, there were only three teachers in the entire major, and they took a few of us out of the school. My tutor took me and took the train all the way. , take a van, go to three rounds, and finally walk, which led me directly to the barren mountains and ridges. There is only a mountain village within a few kilometers of that place, and the roads are the kind of dirt roads that circle the side of the mountain.

After arriving at the place, I understood how to prepare mentally.

On the first day of my visit, I didn't see any antiques, so I and the surrounding villagers were hired to dig the mud for a whole day with hoes.

Less than a week after school started, I regretted it.This is not here for archaeology, it is digging soil in a field. "

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face again,

"...Until a week later, I was at the excavation site and unearthed the first cultural relic.

It was a ceramic shard, with blue and white glaze on it, depicting an orchid, when it was first unearthed, it was still soaked in earth color..."

With a smile on his face, the man's voice paused slightly, his eyes looked at the front side, it seemed that the picture appeared in front of his eyes again,

"...Then, the tool for digging the soil here, once picked up, never put down again."

"When I was young, I followed my teacher around the barren mountains and the countryside, and when I got older, I took my students around in the mountains and the fields... It's half my life."

Saying that, the middle-aged man shook his head,

"I'm sorry, little brother, I'm talking too much, and I'm talking too far."

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, shook his head slightly, turned his gaze to the terracotta warriors in the tunnel in front of him,

"...Since I came to see the terracotta warriors, I naturally want to hear the stories behind these terracotta warriors. My brother, your story can be regarded as part of the story of the terracotta warriors."

"...Yeah, I'm already part of the story behind these terracotta figurines." The middle-aged man nodded,
