Looking at this vast project in front of them, everyone present was amazed.
This tomb hidden in the heart of the mountain was created by hollowing out the entire mountain.
Everything he has experienced is enough to shock him, but to reach this position, there is still such a hidden world.
"Alas, a legendary 'hanging garden' is so gorgeous." I don't know what kind of trouble will be caused in the third level of "heaven". "
Professor Yu sighed earnestly.
The previous excitement was gone.
No matter in any dynasty, building a mausoleum is a major project that wastes people and money.
What's more, Jing Jueguo created this "four elephants trapping the dragon situation" for the sake of the fortune of the Liu family in the middle.
The scale of each place is comparable to the large imperial tombs in the Central Plains.
The construction of the Great Wall by the Qin Dynasty at least served the purpose of resisting foreign invasion.
Jing Jue Guo mobilized the whole country to carry out such a big project purely for his own selfish interests.
This was all built with the lives of countless civilians, so it’s no wonder they felt sad about the scene.
"How can such a small country afford to build such a large project? Even with the wealth of people they collected from other small countries in the Western Region, it is not enough to build a royal tomb of this size."
"During Wang Mang's reign, the country's population dropped by nearly one-third. Excluding those who died of hunger, war, and illness, most of the people were probably caught here to build royal tombs."
Lin Yi used the flying tiger's claws to climb up a relatively short "hanging garden".
The top area is only about ten square meters, and there is a square coffin with a height of more than two meters. The situation inside cannot be seen from the outside.
The wood of this coffin is very hard and its density is comparable to metal.
And it exudes a kind of fragrance, which is basically the same as the smell of the bark layers in the coffins displayed in the "Liangfeng Mountain".
"This is the real Kunlun sacred tree!"
Lin Yi stroked the outer panel of the coffin with his hand and said.
"Old Lin, don't just feast your eyes on yourself, let us take a look at what this Kunlun sacred tree looks like!"
With that said, Wang Qiang took out his mobile phone and threw it up.
Lin Yi took several photos of the coffin with his cell phone and threw them back to him.
Everyone gathered around him.
"Is this the Kunlun Sacred Tree? It doesn't look any different!"
"You have to know how to look. When you look at the wood, the texture looks like water ripples. You know huanghuali, right? That thing is all about the wood and texture."
"I know huanghuali, isn't it quite rare? Which one is more valuable than this sacred tree?"
Wang Qiang burst out with a strong desire for knowledge.
"Huanghuali is about acres, and Kunlun sacred tree is about trees. Just think about it."
Xiao Song took the phone with an arrogant look and enlarged the picture to study it carefully.
"My dear, is this coffin board so valuable? If it needs to be turned into beads, wouldn't one of them cost tens of thousands?"
Wang Qiang thought about it in his mind and shouted to Lin Yi:
"Old Lin, look at it. Are there any scraps of sacred wood on it? I want to keep it as a specimen."
"When did you become so eager to learn? Are you still a specimen? How about I pull you up and look for it yourself?"
"Okay!"
"It's okay, just stay there!"
Lin Yi dismissed Wang Qiang's thoughts with a few words.
"It is said that this sacred Kunlun tree is the best coffin material in the world. Its body will not rot and its appearance will never age. I don't know if it is true, Consultant Lin?"
Someone was booing below.
They are doubtful about the efficacy of this so-called "sacred tree".
Lin Yi thought it was possible.
The coffins in the "Liangfeng Mountain" only use the bark of the "Kunlun Sacred Tree" to ensure that the corpses dry without rotting.
You know, if this kind of thing were in the hands of the ancient Egyptians, they would have to disembowel it, remove the internal organs, stuff it with countless herbs and antiseptic materials, go through several processes, and then wrap it in white cloth.
Lin Yi gently pushed the coffin board with his hand, but it didn't move at all.
I bumped it hard a few more times, but it was still firm.
"Everyone, please be patient. I'll go up here and take a look."
As he spoke, Lin Yi put his feet on the ground, stretched his hands upward, and his arms just reached the upper edge of the coffin board.
What surprised him was that there seemed to be no lid on top of the coffin board, and the top was completely open.
Could it be that a senior has already visited here?
Lin Yi yanked his hands upwards, took a breath, stepped on the outside of the coffin board, and landed on the diagonal joint of the coffin.
It didn't matter if he looked down, he almost couldn't stand still.
In the middle of the coffin, there was a woman sitting upright and nothing else.
The woman wears a golden crown with jade crowns on both sides, interlocking and hanging down to her shoulders.
What he is wearing is the real "Golden Scale Clothes".
At first glance, there is no fabric used on the whole body, it is all made of gold and silver threads.
The various patterns depicted above use all kinds of rare treasures in the world.
The green part is made of turquoise, the red part is made of coral, the purple part is made of purple seal, the list is endless.
Gold has become the least popular material.
The "scales" embellished on the body are all polished with fine "warm fragrant nephrite".
Each piece is ground as thin as a cicada's wing, almost like real scales.
The unique clear color of jade is also used to distinguish the light and dark colors.
The most amazing thing is the owner of this burial suit.
She was actually a woman with an appearance that would captivate a country.
The eyes are slightly closed, the thick eyelashes are upturned, the bridge of the nose is high, the red lips are slightly open, and there seems to be something in the mouth.
His face was pale, but his cheeks were still slightly flushed.
He maintained a kneeling posture, his hands folded naturally on his abdomen, motionless, and his fingertips were still wearing gold finger cots.
Using the phrase "beautiful and beautiful" to describe her appearance is definitely not an exaggeration at all.
If these eyes were opened, they would definitely fascinate the men present.
At least Wang Qiang would definitely disarm on the spot.
Judging from her face shape and facial features, she has more or less the appearance characteristics of women from the Western Regions today.
If he hadn't already known in his heart that she was a corpse, anyone who took a glance would think that she might just be asleep.
Is this Kunlun sacred tree so magical?
"Old Lin, what did you see? Your eyes are straight? What is there in this coffin that fascinates you like this?"
Wang Qiang saw that he hadn't moved for a long time and started to make noises from below again.
"In this coffin, there is the body of a Queen of Essence. It is well preserved and looks like a living person sleeping."
"Really, Comrade Xiaolin! Isn't this coffin covered with a lid?"
Lin Yi stood up and shook his head.
"This longevity material is really open-top. The format is similar to the imitations we see below. The sitting position is centered. I don't know if there are hidden compartments."
"Consultant Lin, could you please help me take some photos?"
Xiao Song stood on tiptoes and raised his digital camera above his head.
Wang Qiang also came over with his mobile phone to join in the fun.
Lin Yi still took over Xiao Song's camera.
After all, they were considering it in the context of archaeological research. If this photo got to Wang Qiang's phone, he might do something.
Lin Yi stood with his feet on the coffin board and whispered:
"I'm really sorry. I'll take a look at her beauty today and take a photo as a souvenir. Don't be offended!"
After saying that, he raised his camera and took a few pictures in succession.
Then I wanted to adjust the focus and take some close-ups, but the camera lens was stuck.
"Xiao Song, what's wrong with your camera? It can't zoom?"
"We have stumbled so many times along the way. It is not easy for this camera to take pictures now."
Xiao Song said helplessly.
That's true!
Lin Yi nodded, raised the camera, and simply used manual zoom, controlled his body, and leaned into the coffin board as much as possible to take the picture.
Suddenly, a biting cold hit my face, and my hand seemed to freeze suddenly. I lost my grip on the camera and fell into the coffin.
