Finally dug it out! !
The drizzle is hazy!
The wind followed the rain falling from the dark sky.
Although Old Man Li Yunshan and others spoke quite calmly, his heart was already extremely excited!
Finally dug it out!
After so many days, it was finally dug out!
However, although they were extremely excited, they still did not go in hastily!
As professional archaeologists, they still know what is most important.
Almost immediately, they directed the engineering team to spread a huge tarp over the huge excavated hole to prevent rainwater from falling directly in and causing damage to the ruins.
Then we photographed the excavation site inside and outside to make sure there was no problem with the air in the cave.
Then he hurriedly took professional protective measures and couldn't wait to slide down a rope quickly!
Hundreds of engineering team members watched this scene nervously.
As soon as they landed, old man Li Yunshan and others raised the high-power searchlights in their hands and couldn't wait to illuminate the surroundings!
Ye Qingyao and Chu Yi also followed behind and got down.
'brush! '
The power of the huge engineering searchlight was simply not comparable to that used when exploring underground rivers. The dazzling light illuminated the entire cave as if it were daytime!
This ancient cave, after thousands of years of earth changes and water erosion, finally appeared in people's eyes again!
Li Yunshan and everyone else breathed nervously and quickly observed their surroundings!
This is a cave that is not too big.
The radius is only about the size of three or four basketball courts. Overall, it looks slightly larger than what was originally discovered in the ancient Xianyang Mountains, but not much bigger.
But compared to the cave discovered by the Alchemy Furnace Cauldron, this cave seems more solemn and magnificent!
The first thing that catches the eye is the pagoda in the center of the cave!
It looks to be about eight meters long, with complex black-bird landscapes carved all over its body. It has nine floors, each of which is covered with exquisite jade glazed tiles.
Although it has been broken a lot by the changes of the times and covered with thick dust, it still shines with an attractive luster under the illumination of a high-power flashlight!
In addition, there are also thick black bird pillars in this cave, supporting the dome. However, under the movement of the huge mountain, most of the stone pillars here collapsed and shattered.
Among the rocks and gravel everywhere, more than 80% are these collapsed stone pillars.
Looking at all this, many old archaeologists hurried forward. After watching carefully, their pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip!
Because they discovered that the patterns and traces carved on these broken stone pillars were exactly the same as those found in the ancient Xianyang underground caves!
"The same picture of a black bird and a dragon, the same river thousands of miles away!"
"Exactly the same, exactly the same!"
Looking at the patterns of these huge gravels on the ground, many old archaeologists became a little excited!
The same textures and carvings represent an inevitable connection between the two ruins!
On the northwest land more than 2,000 years ago, if it were not the First Emperor, it would be difficult for them to imagine what kind of power had such huge manpower and material resources to build such magnificent ruins, and there were two of them at once!
There is actually such a huge ruin here!
In other words, what is recorded in unofficial history is very likely to be true!
My heart is pounding!
Many old archaeologists were extremely excited!
"If it can be proved that the Ding Qin Sword and the ancient Xianyang Medicine Cauldron came from the First Emperor, then together with the current ruins at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, the three combined into one will definitely be a huge discovery that shocked the Chinese archaeological community!"
“Our excavations over the past few months have not been in vain!”
Looking at these ruins, Ye Qingyao and Chu Yi were already extremely excited!
Even the six people including old man Li Yunshan were extremely excited at this moment.
"Keep looking and see if there is any other evidence!"
"It's better to have written records!"
They scattered around and continued to search carefully!
Because when they came down from above, everyone discovered that although the caves in the surrounding underground rivers were full of rocks and gravel, if they looked carefully, they could easily find that there seemed to be various patterns and textures on the ground!
After everyone came down and illuminated it with a high-power searchlight, they discovered that it seemed that not only were there lines and patterns on the ground, but the entire cave had been built to look like an altar!
Dense patterns are carved on every inch of the earth and surrounding rocks!
Basically, every fallen piece of rubble and ground is covered with lifelike reliefs, and the surrounding walls that have not collapsed are even carved with complete pictures!
There are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, various forms of rivers and mountains, and all living things!
In addition, there are many strange runes that cannot be understood!
Although it is not very dense and is broken a lot, what is left is definitely a treasure!
"Oh My God!"
"I've only heard that there are murals in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, but I never knew that there were also reliefs preserved from the Qin Dynasty!"
"What a big project this must be!"
"The surrounding reliefs are all patterns and styles of the Qin Dynasty. This can basically be said to be from the Qin Dynasty era!"
"But what are the paintings on these reliefs? Beasts? Officials? I seem to have seen a sword!"
Watching all this, although they didn't understand what was carved on the relief, everyone was extremely excited!
Because on one of the reliefs, they seemed to see a figure ascending to the throne with the ministers prostrating themselves!
What does it mean?
This is very likely the scene when the First Emperor ascended the throne!
And besides that, they found something else here.
Under the rock in a corner, they found piles of gray carbide, stacked one on top of another. They looked like bamboo slips, but over the course of more than two thousand years, these bamboo slips had already completely decayed. , can't watch it at all.
"There's some here too!"
"Same here!"
"So many traces of bamboo slips!"
Many old archaeologists exclaimed that in another corner, they found many carbonized bamboo slips, piled up in groups, there must be at least thousands of scrolls!
so much? !
Seeing all this, old man Li Yunshan was a little surprised and also a little heartbroken!
If so many bamboo slips are preserved intact, they will definitely be an unimaginable discovery in the history of Chinese archeology. The many texts recorded in them will be a huge supplement to the history of that era!
It's a pity that with the passage of time, these bamboo slips have decayed, and they will turn into ashes and shatter with just a slight touch!
Walking slowly in this silent cave, many old people also discovered that there are many living utensils made of clay in this cave, placed in every corner.
Some are broken, and some are still intact. This ancient vessel from the earth still maintains its original appearance after thousands of years.
"I probably know where the fragments of clay vessels in the river outside came from!"
Old man Li Yunshan knelt down and looked into the distance with his piercing eyes.
Everyone hurriedly came over and found that a huge collapse occurred on the right side of the place. When they got closer, they heard the sound of water flowing here.
An underground river flows from it, forming a deep pool here, covering a radius of about ten meters. Under the pool, many broken clay vessels are deposited.
"As expected."
"There seems to be more than one underground river."
"It should be that the underground river here will rise when there is heavy rain, flooding many places. The raging water will wash away the pottery fragments here along the underground waterway."
Looking at everything around him, old man Li Yunshan couldn't hide his excitement.
They discovered that in this cave, not only on the surrounding stone walls, but also on these vessels, there were countless carvings of black birds!
In that era, the black bird was a symbol that belonged exclusively to the Qin Dynasty and the king!
With bright eyes and excitement, everyone finally arrived in front of the glazed pagoda!
When viewed from a distance, it didn't seem very big, but upon getting closer, many archaeologists discovered that the pagoda was much larger than imagined.
The overall shape of the Glazed Pagoda is hexagonal, with a total of about nine floors. The entire building is made of tough rocks.
The huge rocks are pressed together tightly. I don’t know what kind of memory they were used to build them. Even if a thousand years have passed, they are still tightly stitched together and have no intention of collapsing.
On the outside, there are extremely exquisite relief carvings. Although the whole thing is slightly damaged, it is still not strong!
On the pagoda's blue bricks and glazed tiles, there are thirty-six copper bells hanging just above.
Most of these Tonglings were severely corroded by rust. Only one or two of them could make a dull sound. Other than that, it was impossible to tell what they looked like originally.
"However, these bells seem to be very similar to the bells that were hung on the sword-making platform and the sword-smelting pool when the Ding Qin Sword was originally excavated!" Ye Qingyao's eyes widened and he watched carefully.
"It does look a lot like...huh?"
An old professor had just finished answering half of his words when he suddenly exclaimed, ran to the side of the pagoda, and suddenly screamed in surprise!
"etc!"
"There is a stone tablet here with written records on it. Come and see, come and see!"
Written records?
Hearing this sound, everyone hurriedly ran over and found that there was indeed a stone tablet on the side and rear of the pagoda!
However, this stone tablet was pressed under heavy rocks. If it weren't for the sharp eyes of the old archaeologist, it would not be visible at all!
Everyone carefully cleaned up the rubble on the stone tablet, and soon the words underneath were revealed.
What horrified them was that there were several nearly weathered skulls near the stone monument!
"What's happening here?"
"Where did the skull come from!"
Looking at the nearly broken bones, all the archaeologists were stunned for a moment.
But soon, they were attracted by the written records on the stone tablet!
"The first year of the Qin Dynasty."
"In response to the general trend of the world, my king is about to ascend the throne. However, evil cultivators in the two kingdoms of Zhao and Chu are causing trouble and causing trouble for the people of Xianyang."
"On the day he ascended the throne, my king took action, summoned the sword to hold Qin, and a golden light fell from the sky. In an instant, he killed all the evil cultivators of Zhao and Chu!"
Seeing the many archaeologists here, they were stunned for a moment, and then became furious!
etc!
Summon the sword to conquer Qin?
Isn't this the name of the sword previously discovered in the ruins of ancient Xianyang?
A golden light fell from the sky and wiped out the evil cultivators of two countries?
Could it be said that these heads are evil cultivators from the Zhao and Chu kingdoms?
And the scene described here seems to have been seen somewhere before?
Everyone frowned in confusion.
After a moment, Chu Yi's eyes suddenly widened!
"A sword falls, beheading a person? Isn't this what was described on a previous mural?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed drastically! !
It seems so!
They hurriedly came to a mural, and their pupils suddenly shrank!
Although this mural is much damaged, some complete pictures can still be seen.
Among these pictures, the most central picture of clothes is indeed a figure standing on a high platform, with a long sword falling from the sky in front of him, with several heads stuck in it!
Are these murals
Many archaeologists looked at each other, hurriedly ran to the stone tablet, and continued reading!
"In addition, when my king ascended the throne, it caused a tide of beasts to surge and all spirits to kneel down!"
"There are also great celestial phenomena, stars holding the moon, and torrents of fortune rolling like pillars, shaking the heavens, and the six countries are kowtowing in worship!"
"After taking the throne, in order to achieve immortality and consolidate the mountains and rivers, my king ordered the legalists of the Great Qin Dynasty to go to Nanshan Qilian to collect the best from the world and build the Yubi Pavilion. After ninety-nine, eight hundred and ten days, he finally compiled the title "Human Emperor" in the mountain. Ancient scriptures.”
"However, this sutra is not complete. My king has read it. Although it is an unparalleled method, there are also flaws."
"In order to complete this sutra, my king wrote it in his own hand, and then offered this sutra under the bright sun of Xianyang, along with all the cultivation methods, and placed them in the place of the immortals in ancient times."
"After nine hundred sun and moon reincarnations, the ancient sutra will finally be completed!"
"On the day when the Human Emperor Sutra was completed, a vision came from the sky in Xianyang of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the stars shone everywhere. My king cultivated it, and once he realized the Tao, he would live forever and turn corruption into wonder."
"The ancient scriptures of the Emperor of Humanity also return to Qilian."
Mumbling about the records on the stone tablet, many archaeologists were completely confused!
Because they discovered that everything recorded on this stone tablet seemed to be everything described in the murals above the surrounding altars!
The beasts bow down!
The six nations bowed their heads!
The beam of light reaches the sky!
Even the later compilation of Qilian Mountain, Jingcheng Immortal, also appeared on the mural!
After reading this inscription several times, many old archaeologists completely ignored the so-called words about becoming immortals, and just turned their heads with bright eyes!
Now they are almost certain!
Everything recorded in that ancient book and unofficial history is all true!
Whether it is the Ding Qin sword or the giant alchemy cauldron, everything is almost certain to come from a generation of emperors two thousand years ago!
And all this buried in the Qilian Mountains is the place where in ancient times, when King Qin Yingzheng came to the throne, he ordered the Legalists to compile the Human Emperor's Scripture! !
Great book! Great book! Great book! highly recommended!
