Chapter 726 Remembering an old friend
The scale of the royal tomb in front of them was larger than any other cemetery they had seen in the Xixia Royal Tomb Scenic Area in Xingqing Mansion.
Moreover, its scale is several times the size of the "mirage" reflection.
The seven-story tower with red walls and green tiles at the far end is particularly eye-catching.
After historical research, there are five types of burials for Dangxiang people, namely:
Sky burial, earth burial, water burial, cremation and tower burial.
They have seen all the first four burial systems, but the "tower burial" has not yet appeared. Now, it is here!
Facing the front are two earth-yellow towers, which look exactly like the towers of Han Dynasty tombs.
When they first saw Qini Darang's cemetery, two towers began to spray flames, blocking their way.
"It's this thing again! It's like a Japanese bunker. Is there any mechanism?"
"Then no one can say for sure. Now that we've come this far, we can only bite the bullet and keep moving forward."
After saying that, he held up the diamond umbrella, followed the path they wanted to take, turned the umbrella handle, and rotated all the way.
This can be regarded as a function added by Brother Geng later. Open the umbrella, stand it sideways on the ground, rotate the handle of the umbrella, and it will roll forward like a wheel while still maintaining balance.
Now this feature comes in handy.
Roll all the way to the vicinity of the tower and you will find something unusual.
The five people stared motionlessly with ten eyes at the rolling diamond umbrella until they arrived in front of the tower. Then they slowly stopped, with the umbrella tip pointing to the ground and the umbrella handle pointing to the sky. It shook a few times and stopped completely.
"It's okay! It's okay hey!"
When everyone saw this, they all let out a long sigh of relief.
"Let's go!"
Lin Yi looked around, then walked along the footpath in the middle of the tower.
The trail is paved with Helan stone. This stone itself is relatively precious, and the ones with black background and green patterns are even rarer.
The Helan stones used here not only have natural textures, but also the textures can be connected to each other, which is enough to prove the luxury of this tomb.
"The materials used here are more sophisticated than the unearthed cultural relics we saw in the Xixia Tomb Museum."
Bai Lu couldn't help but admired.
"Isn't that right? It means that this is where Li Yuanhao's tomb is, which proves that we are in the right place."
Wang Qiang's words were filled with uncontrollable excitement.
The group of people passed through the tower, and behind them were two stele pavilions.
As the first barrier of the entire cemetery, the tower is also the outpost of the entire cemetery.
Lin Yi looked around and found nothing strange.
I picked up the gravel on the road and threw a few pieces, and asked for directions, but I didn't find anything unusual.
"If there are no traps or traps here, there is a high probability that there won't be any traps that could kill anyone until the seven-story tower."
After listening to his description, Lao Feng was still a little worried.
"Man, we have suffered a lot along the way, but here we are, nothing happened. Don't blame me for being a talkative old man. We don't want to capsize in the gutter!"
Wang Qiang waved his hand.
"Uncle Feng is overthinking. The person who designed this tomb must also be thinking, since everyone has come here, is it necessary to design another mechanism?
The complicated secret passages in front of us didn't stop anyone. Isn't it a bit too late to try to make up for it here? "
"You can't say that. What Uncle Feng said makes sense. Let's just be more vigilant."
After saying that, Lin Yi carefully approached the stele pavilion. Instead of stepping directly onto the stone steps, he stood on the ground and held up a flashlight to carefully look at the words engraved on it.
The inscription is carved in both Xixia and Chinese characters. From the content inside, it is completely certain that this mysterious cemetery hidden in the Helan Mountains is where the tomb of Li Yuanhao, the founder of Xixia, is located.
The inscription records in detail Li Yuanhao's various achievements, including how he led the Dangxiang people from a nomadic nation to gradually establishing a foothold in the northwest region.
The Xixia Kingdom was finally established, and the most important thing is that the inscription mentioned an important object "Yuzhou Ding".
"Sure enough, Yuzhou Ding is really here!"
Lin Yi's always tense face finally showed a smile of relief.
When I was exploring the secrets in Aoshan before, I got important information related to the "Yuzhou Ding".
A few days ago, I learned more precise news in the "Hidden Soldier Cave" in Wuwei.
Now, these contents have been fully confirmed by the contents of the inscription.
"It shows that our previous speculations are correct. This trip is not in vain!"
"Let me take a look! Yes, the inscription really mentions the origin of the 'Yuzhou Cauldron'. It came from the Tuyuhun tribe. After Tuyuhun was conquered, their remnants fled westward with this cauldron."
No wonder that when the Mongolian army broke through the Xingqing Mansion in Xixia, they immediately started to excavate the tombs of the Xixia kings. It turned out that they were also looking for this thing!
But this thing is so big, is it convenient for them to carry it with them when they escape? "
Qian Sheng didn't understand this issue from the perspective of an antique dealer.
Needless to say, the value of this tripod is understood by everyone.
The more complete the tripod is and has important inscriptions, the higher its value will be. This is an iron rule whether in the antiques industry or in the archaeological field.
"What are you thinking? Have you ever seen anyone running for their life with a big black pot behind them? They must have smashed it and taken it away. Can't they just put it back together again when they get to the place?"
When Qian Sheng heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up.
"As expected of my strong brother, you are really insightful! Don't tell me that this thing has to be so lucky to be safe. For those who don't know how to do it, isn't it just a pile of junk?"
Lin Yi did not participate in the discussion between them and continued to study the content of the inscription.
In the inscription, in addition to recording Li Yuanhao's life and praising him, he also mentioned his beloved concubine.
Her identity is actually from the Western Region.
At that time, the Western Regions had ended the melee among small countries.
The former overlord of the Western Region, Jingjue Kingdom, was eventually destroyed by his own hands and was buried under the rolling yellow sand.
By the time Li Yuanhao established Xixia, the Western Regions had become a "three-legged" situation.
They are the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom, the Yutian Kingdom and the Karakhanid Dynasty.
This Li Yuanhao and his favorite concubine came from the Karakhan Dynasty.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the woman in white who was buried in the crystal coffin he saw under the oasis before.
Her appearance does seem to have the characteristics of the Western Regions, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, and the area between her eyebrows seems a bit familiar, as if she has seen her before, but she can't remember it for a while.
He didn't dare to think too much, because when he was underwater before, it left a deep impression on his mind. Whenever he recalled the makeup of the woman underwater, Wu Jingshan's shadow would inevitably appear. (End of chapter)
