Wang Qiang squatted on the ground for a long time before finally standing up.
Just kick at this "Wooden King".
"Damn it, is this wood or iron? It's so hard! I cut it and it shocked my brain and it still hurts."
I wanted to give it a kick to vent my anger, but I heard another shrill scream.
This 'Wooden King' is not only extremely hard, but the surface is also brushed with a thick layer of tung oil, making it very smooth.
His kick missed the front and just hit his toes after it slipped.
He grinned in pain, sat down on the ground, and quickly took off his boots to check.
Qian Sheng and Lin Yi were overjoyed.
"Thank you for being able to laugh. Do you have any sympathy?"
"Shopkeeper Qian just told you that this is the 'Wooden King', but you insist on trying it yourself. Who's to blame?"
"Who the hell can pull such a thick wooden pestle out here after eating too much? This is sick!"
"Master Wang, you are wrong! This wood is of extraordinary value because of its hard texture. Most of the time it is used in the main frames of some large buildings as ceiling beams.
How can I describe it to you? It's like the load-bearing beams cast with reinforced concrete when building a building, but its function is much greater than them. "
Lin Yi used his hands and feet to roughly calculate the diameter of the iron birch.
It is located at the very center of this circular rammed earth layer, and its diameter is just about the same as the diameter of this circular rammed earth layer.
At least it looks like five or six meters.
Qian Sheng just said that it has a growth life of at least a thousand years, which is not an exaggeration at all.
Ordinary people would never even think about this kind of wood, and dignitaries could only spend a lot of money to buy wood with a diameter of less than one meter or so to use.
Apart from the Emperor family, I really can't think of anyone else who can really afford this 'King of Wood' material.
Qian Sheng looked up with a bright flashlight.
The height of this iron birch can't be seen at a glance.
Just standing upright in the middle.
"I haven't heard of any emperor in the Tang Dynasty who built a large-scale construction project in Xiqi. Could it be Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty?"
Lin Yi shook his head.
Qian Sheng's statement was rejected.
Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, was the nineteenth king of the Tang Dynasty. When he took office, the Huang Chao Uprising and the Tian Lingzi Rebellion broke out.
After finally quelling the two rebellions, on the way back to Beijing, a fight broke out between the Tianwei Army and Li Changfu.
Tang Xizong had no choice but to flee again.
It can be said that Li Zhen was either on the run or on the way to escape. In the end, he died of depression due to excessive fright. He was only 27 years old.
It is said that Xizong of Tang Dynasty once wanted to borrow a road from Xifu to go to Shu to cause trouble.
If you want to calculate it this way, he does seem to have a certain connection with Xiqi.
But he was trying to escape for his life!
Who would run for their lives with such a thick piece of "Wooden King"? Are you afraid that there will be no firewood on the road?
Qian Sheng thought about it for a while and found it impossible.
Since the owner cannot be found, we can only speculate based on functionality.
"Master Lin, do you think we are in the foundation of a huge building now?"
"That's quite possible!"
Lin Yi also looked up with a flashlight.
This part of the main trunk of the iron birch is completely hidden in these layers of circular rammed earth, and the bottom is still buried deep underground. I don't know how many meters deep it is.
Its only purpose here is to serve as the backbone.
But what does its outer outline look like?
If the three of them are now at the foundation of a huge building.
Lin Yi suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
"The location we are in now is in the basement. There should be an upper level above this tomb!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked out of the stone gate, pointing to the location where the twenty-four bronze statues were just now and said:
"We entered here through the tomb tunnel dug by Zhang Qiuli and others, found the towering dome, and concluded that this is the core area of the entire tomb.
In fact, this is not the case. This so-called core area is just the core area of Western Zhou tombs.
Because of the central location, a seven-story platform was built.
According to the Zhou rites, the emperor is the most respected person, and the number is nine, and the princes are the second, and the number is seven.
Lu Shang is the king of Qi and is considered a prince, so he can use a seven-story altar to hold various sacrificial vessels, ritual vessels and funerary objects.
In order to build this building with the "Wooden King" as the main beam, the mysterious man with an unpredictable identity in the Tang Dynasty did not hesitate to destroy the seven-story platform and dump all kinds of sacrificial utensils into the deep valley.
Just to occupy these rammed earth, and then take advantage of the location here, build a sky-high building on top of it. "
"It makes sense. Your analysis, Mr. Lin, is very reasonable. This explanation makes sense! Why are there twenty-four bronze statues of mechanisms on top, and why is there such a strong and iron birch here?
But the problem is, this place has been completely sealed off, how are we going to get up there? "
This is indeed a big and urgent problem.
Their only escape route had been completely blocked by the iron wall.
After walking half a circle in this deep valley filled with bones and funerary objects, I couldn't find any way out.
Even from their location, there was no passage to the upper level.
"Stop looking for it. I just watched it several times. There is no way out around me. Let me tell you, why don't we open the coffin of Jiang Taigong first and take a look? Let's come here at least. The little boy in the live broadcast room Our partners are all looking forward to us decrypting it for them."
Wang Qiang's inner calculations can be heard from the moon.
He was out of curiosity, he just wanted to see if there was anything valuable left in the coffin.
According to his understanding, the person who opened the coffin earlier didn't even pay attention to the seven layers of burial objects. Maybe he could really leave something great in this coffin.
"Shopkeeper Qian, what do you mean?"
Lin Yi asked Qian Sheng for his opinion.
"I think we should come here at least. It would be a pity if we didn't open it and take a look, don't you think? Besides, they have destroyed all the ritual vessels and bronze vessels around here.
Maybe this expert may not know the goods, or he may not be able to understand the 'golden inscriptions' at all.
I don't know that this is Jiang Taigong's tomb, so the 'Qingzhou Cauldron' may still be in this coffin. "
Hearing what they said, they both seemed to want to open the coffin and take a look.
"Since you said so, let's stick to the old rules. Lao Wang, go to the southeast corner and light the candles. Shopkeeper Qian and the copycat, let's 'raise the coffin'."
"Okay!"
Wang Qiang took out a white candle from his bag, lit it, carefully protected the fire, and placed it in the southeast corner of the hollow rammed earth room.
Qian Sheng took out the hemp rope soaked in chicken blood and tied a few buttons around the top of the coffin.
"We have opened the tomb of the great-grandfather. Although it has been done before, it is still considered disrespectful. Please forgive me for this! Lift the coffin!"
