Chapter 127 Strange Door
This main tomb passage metaphorizes the process of the tomb owner entering the earth and ascending to heaven and reincarnation, so there will never be any crossing of the tomb passage on the main tomb passage, because the ancients believed that a fork in the main tomb passage would cause the soul of the tomb owner to lose its direction and thus unable to reincarnate and ascend to heaven.
The chamber we are in now is not the function of a transportation hub, because it should be very close to the main tomb passage, and when constructing, we will try our best to avoid the occurrence of forks. This should be the second function, that is, to prepare for the front hall.
As for what to prepare, there are many, such as the storage of sacrifices, the preparation of rituals, some faith renderings, etc. In short, existence is reasonable, and the chamber here always has its meaning of existence. Moreover, there are indeed many bottles and jars here, and there are also many mysterious murals on the walls on both sides, which are nothing more than slaying demons and eliminating demons.
My second uncle told me before that he once had a big bucket of pots. After they passed through the tomb passage, they also discovered a hall before sacrificing the underworld.
After they went in, they looked at both sides with flashlights and saw two rows of sheep standing against the walls on both sides! They looked at them straight! For a moment, several people were so scared that they almost pissed their pants.
The sheep are completely shriveled. Many people know that human mummies look scary. In fact, animal mummies are sometimes even more scary. More than a dozen pairs of prominent sheep eyes look at them. In addition to being shocked, several people almost had a heart attack early!
When they walked in, they found that the sheep were strung together with iron sticks and stood there, which were obviously sacrifices for sacrifices. But thinking about it, maybe this was also a trick that the tomb owner deliberately played to scare people.
But now we are in a courtroom, probably because the tomb owners look down on this kind of gadget. After all, they use super giant human-faced beetles, or ancient relics such as celestial species, and the most common one is a army of tens of thousands of beetles. The scaring of people may make it difficult for the tomb owners here to see.
So we walked smoothly along the way, and soon we reached the end of the hall. There was something similar to a screen wall here, which was carved with the image of the leader of the ancient country of Shan Huan. The face of a human, bird beak and wings were growing on the back. We still had some questions about the content of this carving. We don’t know whether this image was the true appearance of King Shan Huan or the product of later generations deified him.
However, I always feel that the latter is more likely. Although there are indeed strange species here, such as those weird people with slender limbs and faces, after all, that kind of monster has not yet been blamed to the point of being separated from the basic structure of the human body. However, the human face and bird beak and the back are wings, which is a bit beyond our understanding.
When we passed through the screen wall, a not-so-large space appeared in front of us, which was about twenty square meters. On the wall facing the screen wall, there were indeed two doors that looked a bit weird, and in front of the door was a stone tripod.
This stone tripod is a bit special. Generally, in the tombs of the pre-Qin period, stone tripods are more common than bronze tripods. After the Han Dynasty, bronze tripods became more popular in tombs. Therefore, the stone tripods in the ancient tombs in the pre-Qin period will generally be huge to show the prominent identity of the tomb owner. However, the stone tripod in front of us is not very large compared to the level of the King of Shanhuan. However, its special feature is that the exquisite patterns on it are, I can hardly imagine that under the craftsmanship and mechanical conditions at that time, such detailed patterns could be carved, and it has not been damaged for thousands of years. This technique really amazed me.
Compared to the exquisiteness and meticulousness of the stone tripod, the two doors seem extremely simple, and they are not ordinary simple. They are so simple that there is not even a pattern on the door, and even the door panel is not so flat.
When we surrounded us, we found that the materials of these two doors were very special, not made of stone. But it could not be wood. These two doors have been around for thousands of years. If they were wooden doors, they would have decayed long ago. However, the two doors not only showed no signs of decay, but instead revealed a luster similar to metal. This is obviously not bronze, because after oxidation, it is impossible for bronze to produce luster. Is it a special metal?
We couldn't see any of these two strange doors, so we all turned our eyes to Wen Mo. If anyone could see some tricks here, then there was only Wen Mo!
Wen Mo raised the flashlight and walked up to the two doors carefully, then scratched the short knife in his hand hard, looked carefully, and finally smelled it with his nose.
I asked curiously, "Boss, what material is this?"
Wen Mo said two words, "Mu!"
"Wood door?" Everyone was shocked when they heard Wen Mo's statement, "How is this possible? What kind of wood can be preserved for thousands of years in such an environment?"
Wen Mo reached out and touched the two doors, "This is made of the trunk of the ancient tree of Uzna!"
The others didn't know what was going on, but I, Kong Xue and Shi Tao immediately understood. The three of us looked at each other and were shocked in each other's eyes! I didn't expect that this kind of ancient tree would be so magical. In addition to being able to bear the magical fruits that were rumored to be, even the trees themselves are so unique! Unfortunately, the ancient tree of Uz has long been extinct, otherwise I would really look like a glimpse of its charm!
Lantern Festival was not sure what we were talking about, so they asked, "What is the ancient tree of Uzna?"
I told him that the ancient tree of Uzna wood was a magical tree that grew here thousands of years ago or even earlier. Its fruit Uzna wood is called the earth pill, and it is rumored to have the effect of resurrection!
Yuanxiao's eyes widened, "Really? If we could find such a piece, we would be rich!"
I nodded and thought to myself that my second uncle had five, but I didn't say it.
Yuanxiao walked to the door, fumbled gently, and looked at him. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take it down, he would have wanted to carry the door away! I couldn't help but sigh that King Shan Huan was really a big deal. I don't know if there would be Uzna wood in his burial objects.
We stood in front of the door and looked at it for a while, and suddenly we found a very shallow stone trough on the ground below the door, extending out from the door and leading to the position of the stone tripod.
"What is this?" Kong Xue looked at it and said.
Chapter completed!
