Chapter 9 Yin Guan Carving
After all the people went down the rope to the mouth of the dragon, I entered. As soon as I entered the ground, there was a sense of shade. I looked up at the mouth of the dragon, and the difference was within ten meters.
After removing the black gauze of the flashlight, the beam of light suddenly lit up, but at the same time, we were surprised. Our position was a disk with a diameter of about five meters, and it was on this disk that there were many short spears that had been broken or rusted.
This should be the organ in the tomb. Fortunately, a long time has passed. Looking at these broken metal spears, I can't help thinking that it was hundreds of years ago. I guess it may not be possible to die here. I'm afraid after thinking about it for a while.
A tomb path extends from this five-meter-diameter disk, which is different from what I have seen before. What I have seen before is either masonry or bluestone.
This tomb path is a whole wall, which is completely carved out. After carving, it is re-polished and smooth, while the dome of the tomb path is semicircular. In short, the structure of the whole tomb path is very strong.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready," the four people spoke with one voice and were a little excited.
This time I walked ahead, and Fat Ma followed me, while the clay figurine broke behind.
The environment in the tomb is very damp, and it is the kind of dry tide without moisture, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable emotionally. Soon someone will drink water.
I can't help reminding: "Drink less."
The man's hand holding the kettle froze, but finally twisted the lid.
People who often go to the ground know how precious water is at that time. It may be a life, or even a few lives.
After walking through this straight tomb path, I encountered a row of stone steps. After getting down the stone steps, the tomb path began to narrow. When I first came in, the tomb path could accommodate two people to walk side by side, and at this time, it could only accommodate one person at most.
But surprisingly, this tomb road has a lampstand a few meters away and can be lit, which keeps the light source.
We turned off all the flashlights and moved forward with the help of the dim yellow light from the lampstand. No one in the tomb was silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing. The light burned by the lampstand released a smell of corrosion and filled this space faintly.
I walked in front of me and lit the lampstand, but when I clicked on the sixth lampstand, I felt a little weak and my head was a little dizzy.
No, suddenly I realized something. I looked back at Fatty Ma, and Fatty Ma's expression was also a little depressed.
I shouted in my heart, "Put on the gas mask quickly," and everyone answered feebly, and then put on the gas mask as quickly as possible at this time.
"What's going on?" Fat Ma asked.
"It may be poisoned. There may be some toxic substance hidden here." As I said, everyone paid attention to the situation around them, but it is bare here and it is impossible to hide it.
I looked at the lampstand and thought it was bad! I almost ignored it. This kind of toxic gas may be released by them, and I quickly blew out the flames.
What are you doing? Lao Sun.
Hurry up and blow out all the flames on the lampstand. One word woke up the dreamer. Everyone reacted and blew out all the candles around them.
The light of the flashlight lit up again, and a thick white smoke was clearly visible in the beam of light.
The owner of this tomb is really vicious, and I also made the most common mistake. Fortunately, everyone is fine.
Let's take a break. I feel weak all over. At this time, someone suggested it.
I saw that the lampstand was still emitting white smoke, so I rejected his offer and had to go through this tomb road to rest. They had to cheer up and move on.
When I met these lampstands in the back, I was like meeting death, and I didn't want to look at them.
After passing through this narrow tomb path, everyone took off their gas masks and gasped. Everyone's faces were pale. After a while, they regained a trace of ruddyness.
It's too dangerous, just now.
At this time, the tomb road we are in is as spacious as when we came in before. The difference is that there is a tomb room connecting this tomb path. After discovering the tomb, everyone was a little emotionally high.
In the words of the fat man, he is about to reap the fruits of the revolution.
Fat Ma squeezed past me, smiled at me, and strode forward. The fat man recovered from his scar again and forgot the pain, and I followed closely.
After entering the tomb, when six or seven beams of light illuminated this space, we were stunned at the same time. To say that the golden house we met last time was already rich to the extreme, and this tomb was to some extent, it was a paradise for carving art. At a glance, but when the eyes were seriously fixed on a statue , the spirit seemed to be captured, and a trace of chill couldn't help rising from the spine, making people couldn't help shivering.
Yes, because the carvings in this tomb are all pussy officials. The Yin official refers to the official position that controls the life and death of human beings, commonly known as the Lord of Hell, representing the land: hell.
These carvings are all embedded in the wall, just like the big Buddha in the grottoes in Henan, but the materials used to sculpt their bodies are all black stones, which invisibly add a bit of gloomy, and their expressions look ferocious and terrible.
Not only is it engraved around the wall, but also a yin official is engraved on the dome of the tomb. The whole gives people a feeling of dampness and coldness.
I took my eyes back and looked at the tomb.
According to the basic structure of the mausoleum I know well, this should be the front hall. Before coming in, the old man told us that it might be a tomb from last week.
I haven't checked this information either. I don't know what the tombs in the Shang and Zhou Dynasty look like. Now when I see the statues of these yin officials, I feel that this tomb is definitely not good.
At a glance, in the corner of the tomb, there are four colored pottery urns. The four pottery urns are of different sizes. The largest ones are almost 12 meters, while the small ones are only a few tens of centimeters. The bottom of the pottery urn is wide and the upper body is relatively narrow.
Four pottery urn stood side by side in a corner of the tomb, and next to them were statues of the Yin, the Lord of Hell and the judge.
I grabbed the flashlight and walked towards the pottery urn. When I approached, I could see that the original color of the pottery urn should be black, and I could faintly see clearly that the portrait had been drawn on it.
The seal of the pottery urn is like a wine jar being sealed, but the materials used for sealing are different. It looks like cowhide, and there is a seal like a charm on it.
I was fascinated when the clay figurine came over and stood side by side with me. Fatty Ma has been wandering around and hasn't found anything valuable, and his attention is also attracted by these pottery urn.
