Chapter 024 Yelang Ruins

The stone ladder is in a spiral form, but it is not long. After turning about six turns, you go up a bluestone ramp, and when you walk up, you see a tomb path paved with bluestone.

The reason why it is called a tomb passage is because there is a stone hole every five meters on the walls on both sides of this passage, and some of them have torches inserted obliquely, but the fire is no longer, and the top is covered with spider silk and dust.

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and the weird fear of this place was replaced by the expectation that something would be found in this tomb.

Everyone took torches and lit them one by one, and then walked all the way to burn the entangled spider silk.

"Bricks and stones are the walls, and bluestones are the way. If there is no later modification, it is likely to be a tomb after the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and the tomb owner had a high status at that time." Uncle Bao looked around and murmured, "But there are Doesn't fit."

"What's wrong?" Gu Yun asked.

"During the Han Dynasty, human sacrifice was already illegal, and wooden figurines, pottery figurines, or stone figurines were generally used, so it is impossible to explain the burial pit."

"Perhaps the owner of the tomb is an 'anti-social' element. Killing those people may be just to set up a Feng Shui bureau or prevent the secrets in the tomb from being leaked." Mu Chenglin shrugged.

Gu Mu is more inclined to change the feng shui. After all, feng shui is also formed when the tomb is formed. If you kill people randomly in the end, sometimes it will destroy feng shui. But if killing is only a part of feng shui, it is the finishing touch.

Uncle Bao nodded.

After they walked about 500 meters, they saw a huge stone gate, which consisted of a lintel, a doorpost, a door leaf, a threshold and an anvil.

But what is surprising is that the carved shape of the stone is not a common rectangular stone strip, but a section of bamboo. Each section of bamboo is about 30 centimeters wide and more than [-] centimeters high. pattern.

There are ancient beasts, daily life of human beings, mythical figures, sacrificial scenes and emblems, etc.

The lintel is derived from the bamboo leaves on the doorposts on both sides to form a bicorn mask pattern, which is extremely exquisite.

On the anvils on both sides, there are figurines of women sitting facing each other, holding a cluster of bamboo with both hands. The veins on the bamboo leaves are clearly visible and lifelike. No.

"This, this, this..." Uncle Bao stared wide-eyed, pointing at Shimen with trembling fingers.

Uncle Cheng also showed astonishment and ecstasy, while the others were a little puzzled.

"What's the matter? Is there anything unusual about this door?" From their point of view, this door is actually quite ordinary except for its uniqueness.

For example, in the tombs of the royal princesses in the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of exquisite carvings were carved on the light gates, showing luxury.

In comparison, this door is really not good.

"This is Bamboo Worship, Bamboo Worship!" Uncle Bao stepped forward excitedly, took out a small brush and carefully brushed off the dust and spider silk on the doorpost, carefully observed the patterns, and kept saying, "This is Wuwen, there's nothing wrong with it, it's Yelang, it's really Yelang, my God!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but although they didn't understand what was going on, they also knew that there might be some serious discovery.

"Master, what's the matter with them? Do they already know the details of this tomb?" Yuan Hu asked in a low voice, pulling Yuan Hai's clothes with his head.

Yuan Hai squinted at him and said, "Go back and read the book in Shuge again."

"Huh?" Yuan Hu was stunned.

Yuan Hai said in a deep voice, "Bamboo worship is a symbol of the ancient country of Yelang. If you haven't heard the name of this country, you should have heard the idiom Yelang is arrogant."

As soon as he said that, everyone knew it was Yelang, but they were a little confused?

"Isn't this just a character in an idiom story?" Gu Mu wondered.

"This is not a fictional story. It is recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Biography of the Southwest Yi": "How many are the Southwest Yi monarchs, and Yelang is the largest. "The king of Dian and the envoy of the Han Dynasty said: "Which Han is greater than me?" "It's the same with Marquis Yelang. Because the way doesn't make sense, they each think that they are the masters of a state, but they don't know the vastness of the Han Dynasty. This is the source of Yelang's arrogance." Uncle Cheng said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Uncle Bao took a few breaths, trying to calm down his emotions, his voice still trembling, "The ancient kingdom of Yelang is one of the three mysterious ancient kingdoms, the same as the ancient kingdom of Loulan and the ancient kingdom of Dali, and the remains that have been discovered so far Although there are quite a few, they cannot fully present the history and culture of that era.”

It is said that people in the ancient country of Yelang don't know much, but when they mention Loulan, they are all like thunder.

"There must be a lot of good treasures in that tomb." Yuan Hu's eyes lit up, since it is an ancient country with a very high status, the absolute value of the products inside is not low.

"I don't know if it has been stolen." Mu Chenglin rubbed his chin with anticipation.

Hearing his words, both Uncle Cheng and Uncle Bao's expressions darkened immediately. The former was angry, while the latter was unhappy.

"Go ahead and have a look." Uncle Cheng said.

Uncle Bao frowned, nodded and backed away. He only hoped that the tomb hadn't been stolen, at least not destroyed.

The ancient country of Yelang is also a descendant of the Miao nationality, and this tomb has extremely precious research value.

The two doors are both stone doors, and various patterns are also carved on the top, and there are two copper rings in the animal's mouth.

With Uncle Bao's insistence, everyone can't destroy the stone gate directly, but can only find a way to open it.

Gu Mu turned his head to observe the surrounding elements carefully, and suddenly found that the arrangement and distribution of the stone figurine elements on the anvils on both sides were a bit strange.

Where the stone figurines kneel and sit, there are faint metal elements.

He stretched out his fingers and tapped the back of Gu Yi's hand lightly, signaling the two stone figurines.

Gu Yi looked at the two stone figurines, understood, stepped forward to grope, and soon found the problem, reached out and turned the stone figurines to the tomb door, and did the same for the other bottle.

Seeing his movements, the others all stopped unanimously and observed his actions curiously. There was an example of opening the stone formation before, and the killing of strange fish afterwards, and knowing the immortal Gu. Gu Yi became more and more deeply in their impressions. Measurement.

The moment the second bottle of stone figurine was turned, there was a mooing sound from the stone door, and the two doors were slowly opening.

The ash layer fell down one after another, and the insects and ants hidden inside were also alarmed and ran around.

Everyone quickly backed away a few steps, and immediately took out their gas masks and put them on. After all, they were about to enter the ancient tomb here, and who knew if there would be any poisonous gas inside.

When the door is fully opened, the scene inside is also presented in front of everyone.

"Hey!" Liu Yan took a deep breath, the voice behind the gas mask was a bit dull, but still couldn't stop his excitement, "Oh my god, it's done, it's done!"

The rest of the people didn't need to be depressed, especially Uncle Bao, whose lips were trembling and unable to speak.

In the front, there is still a long masonry tomb passage inside the door, but iron chariots are neatly arrayed in the tomb passage, each chariot has two terracotta warriors, and the horses are equipped with complete harness. Exquisite and exquisite.

It's a pity that most of the iron equipment, including the chariot, has rusted, and the pattern can't be seen clearly. The wood on it is also rotten, and there are many insects and ants inside.

There are also terracotta figurines on the chariot, either standing or sitting.

The terracotta figurines are well preserved and have not been damaged. Although the car is not well preserved, it is also very complete, which is a rare value in itself.

Everyone lined up, carefully walking forward through the gap.

Uncle Bao really wanted to stay and study, but was persuaded by Uncle Cheng that "there might be something more valuable ahead".

After they walked for about 50 meters, they saw two entrances of the tomb, which were opposite to each other on the wall.

The door is also a stone door, but there is no mechanism like the door, you only need to push it open.

Surprising and reasonable, these are two burial pits, but they are full of weapons and pottery figurines. The tomb is made of portrait bricks, and war scenes are painted on them.

It's a pity that there are signs of weathering on the wall, and the painted paintings on it have faded, and the picture is not clear. It can only be roughly distinguished as a war scene.

All kinds of weapons are neatly placed beside the four walls, and in the middle is a phalanx of terracotta warriors, all holding halberds in their hands.

The terracotta warriors faced the gate one by one, opened their eyes angrily, opened their mouths to shout silently, and their faces were distorted and ferocious, as if they were on the battlefield.

Gu Mu suddenly grabbed Gu Yi's arm, his palms were covered with cold sweat, and he tightened his grip unconsciously, his knuckles turned white.

Gu Yi tilted his head, the gas mask covered the opponent's face, he couldn't see his expression and complexion, but he could see the extreme anxiety and depression in those eyes, he couldn't help but frowned, and immediately led him away quickly tomb.

Startled by their movements, the others couldn't help turning their heads. Seeing Gu Yi looking at Gu Mu with a serious face, they couldn't help asking.

Gu Mu covered his chest, pursed his lips and turned his head to look at the tomb passage occupied by chariots, then at the tomb chamber, took a few breaths to calm down, and then said, "It feels very uncomfortable here, let's move on Bar."

In fact, it was more than uncomfortable. The black and red mist in front of his eyes kept his heart clenched, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart continued to increase. He didn't know whether this feeling was caused by nervousness.

Just entering the tomb, the terrible sense of rejection made him almost out of breath, and it kept provoking his nerves, as if a voice was silently shouting, telling him to leave here immediately.

"Maybe it's because you're not used to it for the first time." Yuan Hu said, after all, the air in the tomb is very bad, and these terracotta warriors are indeed a little scary, even when they didn't notice when they opened the door, they were taken aback.

"How is it? Do you want to take a break and drink some water first?" Mu Chenglin also came over, and immediately wanted to get the backpack.

Gu Mu stopped his movement, shook his head, "No need."

"Go." Gu Yi pulled him forward and continued walking.

Everyone saw Gu Yi's firm attitude, so they didn't stay any longer. Anyway, they can only look at these things now.

Everyone passed through the gap and continued to move forward, occasionally rubbing against the wall, making a rustling sound.

"Wait, did you hear any strange sounds?" Gu Mu, who was being pulled by Gu Yi, suddenly stopped.

The people behind also stopped, and subconsciously asked, "What's the sound?"

But then everyone's complexion also changed.

Before they walked forward, they bumped and bumped and made a lot of strange noises along the way, so they didn't think it was surprising.

But now that everyone stopped, the strange sound became more obvious.

This article took me a whole day and a half. There are a lot of materials, especially the ancient country of Yelang.The feeling of severe brain overdraft, tired and paralyzed, I can't explain it!
