Yu Fei was a little confused after hearing this: "Why did Mr. Ye say that?"
Mr. Ye explained: "In fact, the terracotta warriors and horses we see now all had bright and harmonious paintings when they were first unearthed. However, after they were unearthed, due to oxidation by oxygen, the colors disappeared instantly in less than an hour and turned into Of the white ash, all that can be seen now are the remaining traces of painting,”
Professor Dong nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because the problem of anti-oxidation cannot be effectively solved that the two mausoleums of Qianling and Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum have not been able to be excavated on a large scale,"
When Kun Yuanzi heard that Professor Dong mentioned the excavation of the Qianling Mausoleum, he was very unhappy and said coldly: "If this is the case, it is best never to solve it."
Professor Dong then remembered that there was a thousand-year-old zombie guarding the Qianling Mausoleum in front of him. How could he mention the excavation of the Qianling Mausoleum in front of him? He quickly shut up and stopped talking.
As they walked, everyone admired the spectacular rows of painted pottery terracotta warriors in front of them.
I can see that these warriors have different looks. Some have their hair tied up in buns, wearing war robes, short boots, and holding crossbows. They look like warriors charging into battle; some have no helmets and tied hair, wear armor, and hold bows. Crossbows, carrying copper arrowheads on their backs, look like archers who are clever and good at shooting; some wear soft hats, robes and armor, with square feet and shallow shoes, holding long berylliums, like soldiers fighting in hand-to-hand combat, and some wear There are knights wearing Hufu, wearing armor and soft hats, and holding bows astride horses; there are skilled knights wearing long crowns, arms stretched forward, and hands holding buns; there are knights wearing long crowns, battle robes, and There are subordinate commanders wearing long armor and holding Wu hooks in their hands; there are generals wearing he crowns, colorful fish scale armor, holding swords with both hands, and showing extraordinary bearing.
Moreover, these terracotta warriors are very delicate in terms of expression and personality. Through the carving and modification of details, different personalities and psychological characteristics of the characters are even depicted. For example, the brow bones and eyebrows of the terracotta warriors are sometimes carved into mountain shapes. Some are carved in the shape of a crescent moon or a willow leaf, and thin eyebrows are carved with negative lines on the brow bones. The eyes and mouths of the terracotta warriors are also very ingenious in the details, and the eyeballs are sculpted to protrude; For those with a quiet temperament, the junction between the upper eyelids and the brow bone is sunken; for those with a quiet temperament, the mouth slit and the mouth are in a straight line; for those with a serious expression, the creases at the corners of the mouth are drooping. Each terracotta warrior appears to be extremely natural, lifelike, and full of life. Lifelike.
However, Luo Zi looked a little worried. He said to Yu Fei worriedly: "Brother, don't you think this scene seems familiar?"
Yu Fei lowered his head and thought about it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You mean those bloody corpse terracotta warriors in the Qianling Mausoleum,"
Hearing Yu Fei mention the Qianling Mausoleum, Kun Yuanzi turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, don't worry. The practice of placing bloody corpses in the mausoleum to prevent tomb robbers began in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor." I wouldn’t do that,”
"Master is right, this method can only be achieved by vicious demons," Bai Yiqing took the opportunity to point at Sang and scold Huai.
Kun Yuanzi was immediately choked by Bai Yiqing's words and was speechless. If no one else was present, he might have had to fight Bai Yiqing.
Further forward, there is a phalanx of chariots and cavalry. The pottery horses pulling the chariots are fat and strong, with their noses open and neighing, their eyes wide open, and their ears erect; The horse, holding the bow in its left hand, stood in front of the horse alertly, as if once given the order, it would gallop on the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely.
Everyone was amazed and couldn't help but praise the sculpture art of the Qin Dynasty. It can be said that it has reached an almost perfect height. It is no wonder that some people once believed that the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty were made of living people. Horse is cast.
This section of the tomb passage was only about a hundred meters long, and the group of people quickly reached the end. Everyone was still a little unfinished. If there were not more important things to do, they would all want to go back and enjoy it again.
However, when they walked out of the tomb passage, what they saw in front of them shocked them even more. This was not an underground tomb, but it could be called another world. It felt as if they had traveled through time and space and came to the Qin Dynasty. Xianyang City is average.
Not far ahead, a city tower nearly ten meters high stood in front of everyone. On the city wall, there were many flags and warriors holding bows, crossbows, swords and halberds. What shocked Shang even more was that when he looked up, he saw What we saw was a night sky full of stars, and in the center of the "night sky", there was actually a "bright moon" hanging. According to historical records, the curved roof of the tomb of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum was decorated with gemstones and pearls, symbolizing The celestial bodies and stars seem to be true.
It's just that it's really a mystery where so many gems and pearls come from.
Everyone was completely shocked by the scene in front of them. Even Kun Yuanzi, the designer of the Qianling Mausoleum, was so shocked that he was speechless. The structure of the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is exquisite. Compared with the underground palace of Qianling Mausoleum, , which is worse than anything else.
After a while, everyone gradually came back to their senses, and Mr. Ye said: "It's really a worthwhile trip to be able to see such a wonderful sight. Let's go to the city and have a look."
The group of people then walked towards the tower.
After getting closer, everyone discovered that there was a moat about four or five meters wide in front of the city tower. Under the strong light of the flashlight, the water in the moat glowed with bursts of silver. Mr. Ye bent down and took a closer look. There was mercury in the river.
There is a suspension bridge across this mercury moat. This suspension bridge was supposed to be a hanging door that was pulled up and hung upside down on the city gate. For some reason, it has been brought down, and the giant bronze door in the city has also been opened. Come.
Seeing this situation, Mr. Ye said worriedly: "It seems that the tomb robbers have indeed gone to the underground palace. We have to go in and take a look."
When Professor Dong heard this, his heart tightened, and the group hurriedly walked towards the city.
Bai Yiqing had just walked to the suspension bridge when he suddenly stopped. He seemed to have discovered something and bent down to take a closer look.
"Brother Bai, what's wrong?" Yu Fei asked.
"It's really strange that there are traces of wheels running over this suspension bridge," Bai Yiqing said in confusion.
After hearing what Bai Yiqing said, everyone lowered their heads and looked at their feet. Sure enough, on this wooden suspension bridge, two traces of crushed loess could be vaguely seen.
This kind of suspension bridge has probably never been used before, so these two traces of loess are most likely left by tomb robbers.
Professor Dong was surprised: "Could it be that they came in on a cart? Could it be that they have already moved out all the precious cultural relics in the underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum?"
