Ji Qishui was trembling with excitement. He stood on the beam with the light of the flare and quickly took pictures of the entire circle of reliefs with his card camera.
This level of shock is simply indescribable. The manpower and material resources consumed by such a large-area relief are simply unimaginable, and looking at the area recorded by these reliefs, it seems that it is still extending upwards...
"With so many reliefs, I guess they can rival the Longmen Grottoes, right?" Bai Lang stared blankly at the densely packed reliefs in the hollowed-out mountain and murmured to himself.
Since there was no danger, everyone no longer had to be cautious in the dark, and quickly walked towards the stone gate with the help of the fading light of the flares.
The distance of more than ten steps was very fast. When I reached the end of the beam, I suddenly felt that the leading part was much wider.
Bai Fengyuan turned on the flashlight to take a photo, and found that this part of the dragon beam pillar was carved from an extremely thick red pine root. The whole dragon seemed to be crawling down, and two dragon claws covered with bronze appeared on both sides of the dragon body, forming a
A dragon path about three meters wide!
On both sides of the dragon path, two stretched dragon horns stand majestically on both sides, forming guardrails like handrails.
Arriving at such an open platform, Xie Zi also stood up and followed Bai Fengyuan's flashlight to look at the stone door.
The door is very large, almost three meters high and two people wide. It is carved with continuous auspicious clouds, in which the sun and the moon shine together. Some of the ice thunder bugs that everyone has seen before are dancing in the clouds, like the scarabs in the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
The scene surrounding the throne is very similar.
"Damn, the reliefs on this stone door are all connected with those on the surrounding walls. The most insidious thing is that this stone door and the surrounding stone walls are made of the same material. If it hadn't been for a crack, who would have seen that there was something wrong with it.
A stone gate." Ji Qishui reached out to touch the bulge carved out of an ice thunder insect in the relief, while complaining.
Bai Fengyuan stretched out his hand to untie the cold light stick that was fluttering in the wind, and squinted his eyes. He seemed to be feeling the faint wind: "This cold light stick should have been tied here by the shopkeeper to mark it when he entered."
Ji Qishui wondered: "Isn't this tomb special lady patronized by seniors? Otherwise, how could you get wind in it?"
Bai Fengyuan shook his head and shone his flashlight on the faucet we were standing on: "It doesn't look like it! If it has been patronized, unless it was in the past one or two years, there should be some signs of weathering on the faucet and beams."
"That's not certain. Maybe it's even happened in the past two years!" Ji Qishui lowered his head and sniffed it with his nose.
"This stone door must obviously be opened from the outside. If someone breaks into the main tomb through a hole, how can they go to all the trouble to open this door?" Everyone wondered.
"Maybe... maybe... the owner of the tomb wants to go down to the tomb regularly to get the elixir?" Ji Qishui speculated.
"Since you want to get the elixir, why do you plan to have a thousand dragons ascend to heaven? Isn't it better to build the tomb on flat ground? Isn't this a torment?"
Ji Qishui suddenly laughed and joked: "You are not the emperor, so you will naturally find it troublesome. Maybe the Ice and Thunder Emperor can fly after all, so there is no need to bother like us."
After Ji Qishui said these words, he suddenly stopped laughing.
No one could laugh. Didn’t the emperor sitting on the throne we saw in the golden screen wall of the underground Xuan Palace look like a human-faced bird with its wings wrapped around itself?
After a long silence, in order to break the embarrassment, Bai Lang asked: "Brother Fengyuan, do you think we should wait for Su Daji to come out now? Or should we go in now?"
Bai Fengyuan touched the door and calculated the time: "She has been in for a long time. It's not a big deal for us to wait here. I think I'll go in first. You two follow me and don't touch anything when you go in.
, be careful of traps!"
Everyone nodded, broke out two cold light sticks respectively, and followed Bai Fengyuan across the knee-high threshold and walked in.
If it weren't for the extremely precious ice thunder worm for Boss Li Mu, how would everyone have the opportunity to see such a magnificent landscape?
Everyone suddenly thought that they might be the first group to enter this tomb in more than two thousand years.
If so, then why did this door open mysteriously? If not, then who entered this tomb first before the people from Qizhen Pavilion?
The brightness of the cold light stick is neither strong nor weak.
Pass through the stone gate along the gap and carefully scan the surrounding environment with your flashlight.
The environment inside the stone gate is much more open than everyone imagined. There are some unlit bronze lamp slaves standing on both sides, and above the head is a continuous flying corridor.
The corridor is a cornice with some nine-legged flying dragons carved on it, which is very gorgeous. There are six rows in the corridor, each row is half a meter wide, with a certain distance in between. There are many bronze chains hanging on it. Bai Fengyuan is a little puzzled.
,What are so many chains used for, decoration?
Ji Qishui on the side swallowed his saliva and stammered: "My grandpa, how big a coffin can such a big corridor be used to hang? Is the Ice Thunder King's coffin five meters wide?"
Hanging coffin? After listening to Ji Qishui's words, I realized the purpose of the flying corridor. This kind of thing is not only a kind of decoration, but also a facility for enclosing large coffins.
Looking at the various things in the huge underground palace, everyone couldn't help but wonder how much manpower and material resources it would take to build such a large tomb and how long it would take. Many emperors have already started to build tombs since they ascended the throne. Generally speaking, it took more than twenty years.
The scale of the tomb is large enough, but this tomb goes hundreds of meters underground and hollows out the entire mountain to build a thousand dragons ascending to heaven.
Such a huge project must have taken several generations and hundreds of years to complete.
Has this Ice Thunder King really lived for hundreds of years? Is he still a human being? Does the elixir of immortality really exist?
If this kind of elixir really exists, then why build such a huge tomb? Instead of living forever?
Spai Tao was looking at the surrounding buildings in a trance when he suddenly heard Bai Fengyuan not far away calling a few people and Ji Qishui: "Look at these murals on the wall!"
"Isn't it just murals? There are them everywhere here, what's so strange about them?" Ji Qishui said disapprovingly.
"Look at it carefully. These murals are different from the ones I've seen before. These are narrative murals!"
"Narrative mural?!" Everyone stared when they heard this.
What are narrative murals? Narrative murals are an important means of describing the life of the tomb owner, and even some secrets! Many archaeological excavations pay special attention to the content of such murals!
Through these murals, combined with some literature and some simple descriptions in the tomb, people can learn a lot about what happened at that time.
After coming to this tomb for so long, this is the first time for everyone to see such murals. No wonder Bai Fengyuan is so excited.
