Chapter 099: Piggy Bank(1/2)
In the stone pillar, under the four corpses, there is a bunch of grapes!
This is indeed a bunch of fresh grapes.
There were drops of water and morning dew on it, as if it had been picked not long ago.
Duan Jingzhi was also stunned after seeing it.
Under this stone pillar, there is a bunch of grapes?
It’s impossible for this to last for thousands of years, right?
If they were really grapes from the Ming Dynasty, they would have become raisins long ago.
However, before their eyes, there was a bunch of fresh grapes!
Who picked this?
Is it possible that there are other people in this Valley of Flowers who regularly come to make offerings?
Thinking of this, Duan Jingzhi felt a chill running down her spine and looked behind her unconsciously.
The surrounding area was empty, with nothing but dense trees.
The weirdo seemed very happy, and he boldly bent over and took out the grapes.
He looked at it and then stuffed it into his mouth.
Snap!
The weirdo screamed and almost threw it away!
Chongning quickly stepped forward and took it.
After buying it, he laughed directly.
"These are not fresh grapes!"
Duan Jingzhi was stunned, "This is not grapes, what is it?"
As she said that, she reached out to take it, and suddenly her face was startled.
This thing is cold to the touch and very hard, like a stone.
Chongning smiled and said: "We were deceived. This is a bunch of glazed grapes."
Duan Jinzhi was in disbelief and said, "It's so similar!"
These grapes are blown from glass. They are hollow inside and have plant textures on the outside. They are very similar to real grapes!
On the surface, there are also yellow rust patches and mist water droplets, giving it a more grape-like texture.
This kind of grape objects were very common in the Song Dynasty.
In the underground palace of Jingzhi Temple in Dingzhou, a masterpiece was unearthed, which is almost fake and is now in the Dingzhou Museum.
Grapes symbolize fertility and prosperity, and are very popular among the public.
However, it always seems very strange to find glazed grapes buried in tombs, especially under the corpses of pregnant women.
There are only these two things in this stone pillar, and the rest is empty.
Duan Jingzhi said: "Then are there things buried in the other seven stone pillars?"
Chongning pondered and said, "Let's go up to the round platform and take a look."
Soon, they came to the stone platform at the previous place.
As usual, Chongning used sun moss to make dye and smeared it on it.
However, this round platform did not move at all.
Duan Jingzhi said: "Is there not enough paint? Let me go and pull out some more?"
Chongning shook his head, then hit it with a stone.
"This round platform is solid."
Duan Jingzhi knocked, and sure enough, the sound of the round platform was very muffled, not like it was hollow.
"What does it mean?"
Chongning thought for a moment and said: "In other words, not every one of the eight round platforms has sacrifices and burials."
Duan Jingzhi was very curious, "Then let's go to the next round platform and have a look?"
There are eight round platforms in the entire Flower Valley, each about the same distance apart.
Soon, they found the third round platform.
Chongning followed the same method and smeared the juice on it.
Duan Jingzhi's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "This has appeared!"
On the round platform in the third place, an invisible painting appeared.
This pattern is exactly the same as the first round cone.
Chongning had memorized the order in which the monsters were masked before, and he pressed them one by one.
The rumbling sound resounded.
I saw stone pillars emerging from the soil.
The stone door of this stone pillar was also easily opened.
Duan Jingzhi was mentally prepared, but she was still shocked.
Inside this stone gate, there is a corpse of a pregnant woman!
What’s even more frightening is that this corpse is also the corpse of a quadruple pregnant woman!
Same placement, same ghost!
The difference is that under the pregnant body, there is no glass grape, but a simple clay pot.
The weirdo wanted to pick it up, but found it very heavy.
Chongning said quickly: "Be careful, this is fragile."
The weirdo seemed to understand, and moved his hands carefully.
The body of this thing is decorated with simple brown color patterns.
It says on the front, there will be a lot of money every day.
In the middle is a text pattern. If you look carefully, it is composed of the four words "gold ten thousand taels".
On the back is a painted chicken holding auspicious grass in its mouth.
What is more peculiar is that a pocket is drawn on the lower abdomen of the chicken.
Inside was a sparkling golden egg.
Duan Jingzhi had never seen it before and said, "This is so cute. What is it?"
Chongning looked at it and said, "This is a full deposit."
Duan Jingzhi frowned slightly, "Pumpman, what a strange name."
Chongning said: "Well, it's just an ancient child's piggy bank."
Duan Jingzhi was startled, then smiled and said, "Piggy bank?"
Chongning responded and said: "Yes, take a closer look. There is a slot for inserting copper coins above this utensil."
In ancient times, children would put scattered copper coins into it. There was only an entrance but no exit.
After the money is full, smash it or cut a hole to take it out.
If the money is full, then it will be full.
This is exactly the same as the current piggy bank, there is no difference.
The full name of this utensil should be called Ming Dynasty White Glazed Brown Cai Poman.
However, there was no need for him to talk to Duan Jingzhi in such detail.
Duan Jingzhi felt very magical. She didn't expect that there was such a cute thing in the tomb.
However, Chongning's eyes were a little downcast.
He had a vague feeling that something was not quite right.
The three of them continued to move forward and looked at other round platforms.
As Chong Ning guessed, there was a burial stone pillar separated from the rest.
There are eight round platforms and four funerary stone pillars.
The other two stone pillars also contain the corpses of a pregnant woman with quadruplets.
Only the funerary objects inside are different.
One of the funerary objects is a coal-carved portrait of Song Zidao.
