People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 331 Put the cart before the horse
In order to be able to search for clues more efficiently, after confirming that there was no danger in the apse, everyone started to split up.

They first set their sights on the surrounding painted walls.

In addition to those large-scale murals, there are also many small-scale murals on these painted walls, which can be regarded as historical documents of the King Xian Dynasty. For scholars who study this area, they are absolutely priceless treasures.

It's a pity that none of them are interested in studying the history of dating, so they just browse selectively at a very fast speed.

The two wall paintings in front of Chen Ziyan, or the scrolls of war, mainly record the two most memorable wars in King Xian's life.

The first time was the war with the Yelang Kingdom. Yelang and the Dian Kingdom were both in the southwestern border, so there were many conflicts between the two.

The second time is the record of King Xian conquering the Zhelong Mountain area after leaving the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Of course, it is a bit inaccurate to say that it is a conquest, a more accurate term should be a massacre.

The Yelang Kingdom is better, no matter what, it has already begun to break away from slavery, and the social form of the Yi tribe is in the late stage of slave ownership, and the means of production are extremely backward. How can it be the opponent of King Xian who inherited the pre-Qin bronze smelting technology? The whole process can be described as one-touch collapse.

Therefore, after a series of hearty and powerful depictions of battles, the main content of the murals turned to the scene of capturing slaves.

"Look here!"

Just when Chen Ziyan was about to look down at the painted wall, he heard Shirley Yang's voice.

When they came to Shirley Yang, under her guidance, they saw a small mural on the top of the painting wall.

What is described on this mural is the origin of the six-legged bronze tripod.

"According to the description above, this six-legged bronze tripod is a treasure that King Xian found from their holy land after they captured the Yi tribe." Hu Bayi translated.

"Why do I see this holy place so familiar?" Wang Kaixuan said after looking at the mural, a little puzzled.

There is not much description of the environment on it, it looks like a cave, but he just thinks this cave is familiar.

Chen Ziyan took a closer look at the mural and said, "That's because you came out of this holy place, so it looks familiar."

He recognized it, isn't this holy place just the Gourd Cave they passed by not long ago?

Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Wang Kaixuan slapped his head suddenly: "I mean, isn't this the place where the strange insect stays in the innermost part of the Gourd Cave!"

"Look at the mural next to it, King Xian seems to have taken something out of it." At this moment, Ding Sitian reminded.

Chen Ziyan and the others quickly looked over, and found that in the mural next to it, the cover of the six-legged ancient tripod had been opened, and King Xian was standing beside him holding a square object.

"Such a box..."

At first, Chen Ziyan thought that the box was a bronze box with a three-legged toad in his hand, but when he looked carefully, he found that it was not what he thought. The box on the mural was much smaller than the bronze box.

When Chen Ziyan was thinking about what it was, he heard Shirley Yang say:
"It seems that the six-legged ancient tripod in the apse is definitely related to the one I know, and it may even be a set of tripods."

Compared with other contents above, she pays more attention to the origin of these six groups of ancient tripods.

Now with this mural, it undoubtedly shows that the sacrificial vessel that Xian Wang attaches great importance to is not cast by himself, but also from other places.

After the topic returned to Gu Ding again, Hu Bayi put forward a different meaning: "I think this is probably not a tripod, but maybe a cauldron for cooking."

If this is a tripod, then in terms of specifications, it is too different.

The ancients had their own set of standards for tripod vessels. He had never even heard of such a round tripod with six strange beasts as its feet.

So Hu Bayi suspected that the strange tripod in front of him was not a tripod at all, but a copper cauldron.

After all, isn't Fu Wang being cooked by this thing? The way Chuang Wang uses it is very telling.

"Cauldron?" Xue Liyang's expression froze, and she subconsciously looked at Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan rubbed his chin habitually, and said thoughtfully, "It's really not impossible. Whether it's a cauldron or a cauldron, we don't have clear evidence yet."

But he immediately said: "But, what is this thing, is it important to us?"

Their purpose is very clear, which is to offer the Muchen Bead in the king's hand. It doesn't matter what such a deadly cooking weapon is, as long as it doesn't hinder their ultimate goal, it doesn't matter if it's a cauldron or a cauldron.

If you want to know what it is, after you get the thing back, you will have plenty of time to study it.

"Yeah, whatever it is, it won't be sold anyway, so there's no need to bother." Wang Kaixuan echoed.

Although the six-legged ancient tripod was a priceless treasure, he was not interested at all, because he knew very well that even if this kind of thing was brought back, it would have to be sent to the museum.

No matter how precious the fat man was, he would not care about such things that could not create real value for him.

The others all looked at each other in dismay when they heard the words, but they immediately realized that this was purely an old problem, and they subconsciously wanted to figure out the reason behind it.

"Let's put down the cauldron and the cauldron first." Seeing this, Chen Ziyan called out to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "Now we already know that this bronze vessel is a holy place for the barbarians from Zhelong Mountain to offer the king. If we get it, then we might as well study its function, which should be more helpful to us.”

Compared with the type of this thing, his role is more worthy of attention.

If it is really full of corpses as described in the murals, it means that both Xianwang and Chuangwang think that this kind of bronze wares should be used in this way.

At the same time, it also means that they still have key information that they have not discovered.

It can be seen from the figurines, infants and other objects in front that Xian Wang's actions are closely related, so Chen Ziyan felt that they had to figure out this key, otherwise it might affect what they were going to do next.

After all, this is just the Ming Building in front of them, and they didn't even enter the real main tomb. If this caused problems in any of the later links, it would be too late to regret it.

"Master Chen, do you think there is such a possibility that the root cause of King Xian's attack on the Yi tribe in Zhelong Mountain was these things we have seen?" Hu Bayi thought for a while, and suddenly asked.

He felt that he and others might have put the cart before the horse.

Perhaps it was not after King Xian discovered the many miraculous things here, but it is very likely that King Xian captured this area after discovering the many miraculous things here.
