Divine Eye Appreciation King

Chapter 43 Light
Li Ping looked quite calm: "I didn't know it was a mechanism, but I just pushed the faucet on the stone gate, and it opened by itself!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, Professor Yang and Tang were very surprised, and they all went to look at the stone gate of the underground palace.

Only Feng Wei was suspicious. The moment he asked the question just now, the bluish-white light on Li Ping's body suddenly disappeared.

Are you blindfolded?

He observed Li Ping carefully for a long time, but he didn't find anything strange.

"This underground palace is weird!"

Professor Tang touched the embossed faucet on the stone gate with his hand, and said to Professor Yang beside him, "I remember that the gates of the underground palaces of the royal tombs in the Ming Dynasty are mostly copper nail doors, right?"

"Maybe this royal tomb is special!"

Professor Yang looked at the Shimen for a while before saying, "There shouldn't be any mechanism? Could it be a coincidence..."

"It should be that the clumsy comrades have already loosened the stone door. It happened that Xiao Li pushed it and opened it by himself!" Professor Tang nodded again and again: "This door is made of a whole rock, there should be no mechanism!"

"Go, go down and have a look!" Professor Yang said, already slipping in through the crack of the door.

The rest of the people followed suit and entered the mausoleum.

Obviously, the scale of this mausoleum is not small, and the tomb passage inside is very spacious.

Everyone turned on the simple lighting equipment they carried with them and walked along the corridor of the underground palace.

This is obviously a standard Ming Dynasty royal tomb. Although the entire underground palace is taller and grander, the layout should be similar.

Most of them are composed of vestibule, front hall, atrium, main hall, back court, apse and the final coffin chamber.

But at this time, we haven't gone deep yet, and everyone is still not sure what is in the temple.

On the contrary, professors Tang and Yang were amazed at the terracotta generals standing on both sides of the corridor.

"Lao Yang, these general figurines don't look right!"

Professor Tang looked at those stone figurines and said strangely: "This...how is it the Buddhist Vajra shape?"

"Maybe the owner of the tomb believes in Buddhism!"

Professor Yang felt a little strange looking at those weird King Kong shapes. He stepped forward, observed carefully for a while, then tapped the angry-eyed King Kong with his fingers, and made a metallic sound: "This is like... kind of metal?"

"how can that be!"

Professor Tang shook his head again and again. Even in the Ming Dynasty, both copper and iron were valuable materials. Even the emperors of the past dynasties rarely had figurines made of metal.

"It is indeed iron!"

Ren Chuan pointed to the scars on King Kong's body and said, "Professor Tang, look!"

Everyone looked at the position he pointed, and found that there were three black marks on the chest of the gilded figurine, which reflected the light of metal under the light.

"Iron figurines?" Both professors Tang and Yang showed surprise expressions.

Professor Yang even laughed and said: "It seems that the identity of the owner of the tomb is not ordinary!"

Professor Tang nodded repeatedly.The rest of the people were also very excited.

On the other hand, Feng Wei was even more puzzled.

"Professors, don't you think it's a little strange?"

He couldn't help interjecting: "All the iron figurines are facing the tomb, and even their weapons are pointing at the tomb owner. Hearing Feng Wei's reminder, Professor Yang also found it strange: "Yes, it stands to reason that these figurines are like It should be to protect the tomb owner from outsiders, and it should face the tomb door! "

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, everyone immediately became interested. There are a lot of iron figurines on both sides of the corridor, most of which are Buddhist King Kong and Heavenly Kings. They look lifelike, and the weapons in their hands are all pointing at the tomb behind.

"Maybe the owner of the tomb has a special identity, or some ominous events happened after his death!"

Professor Tang thought for a while: "The ancients were superstitious, and it is very likely that these King Kongs were used to suppress the evil spirits in the tomb..."

"Evil Qi?" Hearing this, everyone's expressions were a little panicked.

"Those are all superstitions, don't be nervous!"

Professor Yang continued to explain: "For example, some unexpected disasters occurred after the death of the tomb owner, or he himself died abnormally. In order to prevent accidents, some religious idols will be used to suppress..."

"Suppressing the Demon Cave!" Feng Wei once again remembered the reminder in his mind when he was observing outside the tomb just now, and felt even more strange in his heart: "Could it be that the people buried here are really monsters?"

"We archaeologists should give up this superstitious thinking!"

Professor Tang nodded again and again: "Everyone is dead, so what is there to be afraid of..."

With that said, he took the lead and walked towards the interior of the underground palace.

Seeing him like this, Professor Yang hurriedly followed, and in fact, all the students followed closely behind.

After not walking far, everyone felt a lot wider, as if they were standing in a courtyard.

This should be the vestibule of the underground palace.

"There's someone in front!" Lu Tiantian screamed, scaring everyone.

In fact, not only her, but everyone also noticed that something was wrong in front of them. Under the illumination of the lights, people could be seen vaguely standing in the courtyard.

Feng Wei pointed the flashlight in front of him, and only then did he see clearly that it was a pottery figurine.

At this moment, everyone came to their senses and pointed the lights forward one after another, finally seeing the situation in the courtyard clearly.There are dozens of pottery figurines densely packed here, the size of which is no different from real people, all facing the direction of the main hall.

"Huh?" Professor Yang stepped forward, walked around the pottery figurines a few times, and said in surprise, "Old Tang, your guess should be correct!"

At this time, the appearance of the pottery figurines that everyone can see clearly are all based on religious themes.

What's even more amazing is that these terracotta figurines are arranged in three layers of camps.

The last camp has the largest number of terracotta figurines. On the left are Buddhist Vajras and Arhats, while on the right are Taoist gods of the underworld with bull-headed horse faces and Judge Impermanence.There are thirty or forty statues.

On the middle floor, there are a total of fifteen pottery figurines. The left side looks like the five Ming kings, and the right side is the ten hall kings.

At the front near the main hall, there is only one figurine of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The maximum size of this pottery figurine is about two meters, but there is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged on the Diting beast, holding a white bone relic in one hand, and holding a golden tin staff in the other, glaring at the gate of the main hall.

"The owner of this tomb is also guilty of serious crimes!"

Lu Tiantian, who is quite familiar with Chinese mythology, looked at the terracotta figurines in the front and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know how much crime I have committed. Even the Ksitigarbha King can't tolerate him!"

According to Buddhist legends, the Ksitigarbha King has a great compassion and is known as "the hell is not empty, and he will never become a Buddha." However, this figurine of the Ksitigarbha King has a ferocious face, and his expression is full of anger and warning. Feeling hairy.

"This is really a big discovery!"

Looking at the situation in the courtyard, Professor Tang was very happy: "I have seen quite a few underground palaces in the Ming Mausoleum, and this is the first time for them to be laid out like this!"
