"Song Qianjin, do you understand the principle of the mechanism?"
Song Siyuan originally thought that when she arrived in front of the stage, she would be able to see the headquarters urging the military formation to shake its head. Now there was only a balcony and bronze statues of ceremonial officers in front of the formation, which really surprised everyone.
"I haven't seen the mechanism yet, but this does not mean that the mechanism does not exist. It only proves that their mechanism is set up to be difficult to detect."
She never stopped walking as she spoke. She walked outside the array of ceremony officials and shined a flashlight on them. At a glance, she could see that the faces of the ceremony officials were exactly the same.
These ceremony officials all have thin faces with goatee, slender and upward eyes, clear lips and teeth, and serious eyes. They have civil official hairpins on their heads, crowns and beams on their heads, hat tassels hanging down to their ears, and their bodies are covered with black robes. He wears a blouse, a ribbon around his waist and a sword on his body. His upper body is slightly bent like a courtier. The tablet in his hand has no symbols, only rows of fine grooves.
If there is anything strange about it, it is that it is smaller than a real person, probably only reaching Song Siyuan's neck, which obviously reduces the size of the civil servants. Only the ceremonial officer in front of the civil servant array is made taller than ordinary people.
She guessed with a flashlight: "These officials are also wearing Tongtian crowns. The lines on the red gold and copper slips are not very clear, so we mistakenly identified them as Jinxian crowns. If you think so, wearing Tongtian crowns to worship ancestors is indeed It makes sense, but the shrinking of the body is completely unreasonable."
"Why is it unreasonable? Is it just because you are one size smaller?"
Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake stood over. These civil servants were indeed very small, only reaching the lower part of their hearts, as if they were half-grown children.
Song Siyuan looked at the two of them, her face full of doubts: "Yes, think about it, even tens of thousands of military formations have to be made much taller than ordinary people. It can be seen that Li Tangren did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to create this mechanism outside the Soul Palace. However, Taiwan has underserved its civil servants. There are only eighty-one civil servants at most, and it is unreasonable to save money here."
"Do you think Li Tang lacks this little copper?"
"That's definitely impossible."
Both Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake knew that even if they were short of copper at this juncture, they should not save money at this time. This was the face of the Soul Palace and could not be neglected easily.
"They knew the situation, but they still made the bronze figurines of civil servants like this. At least it shows that the uses of civil servants and military officials are different, right?"
Song Siyuan's advice made Yue Guanchao and the two people understand. A flash of light flashed in his eyes: "If you think of civil servants as switches, you can understand why they are so small. The lighter the switch, the easier it is to move it." .”
He stepped forward and knocked on the bronze man a few times, and sure enough, the sound was hollow.
"Okay, Yue Guanchao, why are you suddenly smart now? According to this principle, let's look at these bronze figures again. The chief ceremony officer at the front is larger, which must mean that he always controls these bronze figures."
Song Siyuan turned the flashlight to the bronze figure. The leader of the ceremony was standing on a three-story high stone platform, with his back to the tens of thousands of generals under the terrace. This position already showed that there was something wrong with it.
"This bronze man doesn't seem to be holding anything in his hands!"
Song Siyuan rolled her eyes. When she faced the bronze figurines of civil servants, she held her hands in an empty posture over her heart, as if she should be holding something. Judging from the distance between her hands, it must be something like an imperial decree.
"Imperial edict? Sacrifice?"
Yue Guanchao seemed to have thought of them, and took out the red gold and copper slips. He opened the slips and gestured to the Grand Ceremony Officer's arm. When everyone saw that the slips had been stuck into the palms of their hands and fit tightly, their faces gradually filled with joy.
Song Siyuan suddenly realized it and said in an excited tone: "It's a red gold and copper slip. The thing in the hand of the great ceremony officer is a completely unfolded red gold and copper slip."
"Yue Guanchao, let's put the copper slip into our hands and try it!"
As soon as Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Guanchao picked up the copper slip and clasped it in the hands of the Great Ceremony Officer. The copper slips fit perfectly as if they were matched to each other. At this time, he looked at the Great Ceremony Officer again. He seemed to be stretching out the copper slips and reading aloud.
"really!"
After the copper slip was returned to its place, the bronze man's face began to click and turn, like gears that had been in disrepair for a long time, rumbling and clicking.
Everyone was afraid of an ambush and stood on both sides of the civil servant early. After the civil servant's face turned, a very smooth mirror was displayed in front of everyone.
The mirror seemed to be completely buckled on the civil servant's face, with a smooth and round surface that shone with light. The heart was like a suspension bridge, opened from the chest to form a flat surface. There were six crystal-clear beads inside, each about the size of a fist, and a lotus lamp stood in the center. Six blades surround the lamp oil, which should be some kind of lighting tool.
"What the hell is this!"
After there was no movement from the agency, several people were cautious and had no choice but to wander around.
"I'm going to light the candles!"
Yue Guanchao took the lamp tube and lit the candle. The candle flame gradually stabilized from bright to extinguished, and when the burning became more and more intense, the smooth blades spread out the light, which was continuously reflected by the five crystal beads, and finally converged on the face of the civil servant.
Its face was like the morning sun, completely illuminating the surrounding area of the terrace. Tens of thousands of golden lights were seen spreading out from the bronze man's face, and then the light shone on the copper slips.
Almost at the same time, seven light spots scattered everywhere appeared on the bronze figurines of civil servants behind the copper slips!
