After saying that, she turned her attention to the onlookers outside the white marble stage!
"I counted and found that there were twenty Hu couches in total, which happened to be the number of all the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, from Taizu Li Yuan, Taizong Li Shimin, Gaozong Li Zhi to the last emperor Li Zhu. The couches are all occupied, and the people around them should be the queens or spouses of previous emperors."
When Song Siyuan introduced them, everyone looked at these couches. The couches were about one meter wide and two meters long. There were railing-like backs covering the left and right backs, leaving only the front unsealed. Square tables were placed on the couches, and the left and right sides were seated separately. The emperor and empress, all of them were gorgeously dressed and had serious eyes, staring at the Nuo dance Wu Xian on the jade platform!
When they observed the furnishings, the music in the front hall never disappeared. The bells, flutes, drums, huqins, and harps continued to sound, forming a royal palace music.
After a moment, the two Wu Xians, who were originally in a static state, started to tremble in the music, like puppets in disrepair turning their joints. As the joints became more and more lubricated, they held black swords and bells, and stood on the white marble platform. Dance the Nuo dance.
These two Wu Xian are like mandarin ducks playing in the water, cranes raising their necks, wild deer in the forest, and birds on the branches. Their movements are short-lived and flexible, like glue and paint, following each step, praising and waving, moving their waists... always in a lingering state. The dance is ups and downs, and the movements are flexible, as if someone's soul is possessing it, making people unable to take their eyes away.
What's even more weird is that during this dance, Wu Xian can always look at everyone inadvertently, staring at them with dark eyes, and then quickly avert his eyes. This feeling of being stared at makes the skin of his back stand up. pimple.
Song Siyuan became curious about the moving Nuo dance puppets in front of her, and walked to the right side hall to take a closer look.
These musicians wore crimson round-neck robes, white undershirts with white collars exposed, official black gauze bunds with the corners turned up and slightly crossed, black leather boots on their feet, and jade belts on their waists. , the face is white, tender and slightly yellow, with the roundness and richness of Li Tang people.
Whether it is a male musician or a female musician, their eyes are affectionate and their faces are filled with joy. All the clothes on their bodies are also exquisitely embroidered, which is gorgeous.
These musicians are either beating chimes, playing the piano on a stand, holding a pipa at an angle, holding a flute, flute, or sheng in their mouths, holding a leather drum or bells in their hands, or playing a harp, harp, or moon harp. There are seven or eight people in a row. , five or six rows of people were staggered from each other, holding various musical instruments and playing according to the score.
She opened the musicians' clothes and carefully observed their bodies. Some of the musicians' skins had cracked after thousands of years. Looking through the gaps, one could clearly see the bones of the copper springs inside. It can be seen that these musicians also had many cracks. It uses copper springs as the skeleton, and then uses ceramics to bake various body structures to form a complete human body.
These musicians have special movable slots in the joints, which allow the musicians to be more flexible when playing. Their so-called playing is not really about playing by reading music. It is a mechanism located underground, and the underground mechanism drives the body. The gears and robotic arms change to create the sound of playing a musical instrument!
It can be said that this is an extremely well-designed puppet array.
Yue Guanchao saw Song Siyuan walking around and looking carefully, so he stepped forward and asked, "How are you doing? Did you find anything?"
Song Siyuan looked at him and explained everything in front of her: "These musicians and Wu Xian are all made of machinery, similar to what we saw in the Haidong Imperial Tomb, except that there are not so many harmful mechanisms, maybe just for display. Sacrifice scene!”
After saying that, she pointed at Wu Xian who was beating rhythmically on the white marble high platform, and continued:
"In ancient times, the objects and methods of sacrifices may be different, but they must include three aspects: blessing, sacrifice, and supplication. The meaning of blessing is to first let the witches use certain methods to attract the attention of the gods, and then offer them You give sacrifices, and finally you use the sacrifices to make requests or wishes to the gods.”
"These three steps are actually the essence of the witch sacrificial culture - using sacrifices delivered in advance in exchange for the gods to realize their wishes. Whether it is Xia and Shang's production and management, praying for divination, or the Zhou Dynasty's worship of heaven and ancestors, it is essentially Sacrifice items to gain help.”
She paused and said in a cautious tone: "If my guess is true, what we see is the first step of blessing, using the psychic dance of the male witch Xian to attract the attention of the ancient gods, then the next step is to offer sacrifices After sacrificing and waiting for the gods to give instructions, we continue walking down, which is probably the temple where sacrifices are made, and the last courtyard is the temple where gods are worshiped!"
"Song Qianjin, I don't care about these people. I just want to know where they put the treasures that Li Tang people have accumulated for three hundred years. I think this hall is empty, and it doesn't look like they have stored treasures!"
Mrs. Zhang had long been impatient. They didn't have much time to come down, and they were delayed a lot by Song Siyuan. They originally thought of cracking the trap, but when they saw that there were no traps in the hall, their expressions immediately dropped.
"Mrs. Zhang, the sacrifices should be treasures from all over the world. According to Li Tangren, they probably used the treasures to sacrifice to the gods to repair the damaged dragon energy. If there are really so many treasures, they must In the sacrificial hall in the middle.”
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang looked at her brother behind her. The old water bandit signaled the engineers behind him to follow him around the white marble platform and into the backyard through the corridors on the left and right sides.
But before he could take a breath, he could already see the bandits cheering from the front: "Get rich, get rich, this is really a golden nest."
With these words, everyone was told to keep approaching the verandah and enter the atrium through the two corridor entrances on the north wall!
Yue Guanchao and the others walked to the middle courtyard one after another. What they saw was really strange. The middle courtyard was much larger than the front yard, about five or six times the size of the front yard. It was like a huge square.
The layout is similar to the front yard. The north hall is twice as wide as the front hall, decorated with green tiles, golden owls, white walls and red windows, and complicated brackets. The left and right verandas are shaped like square frames and close to the wall, connecting the east and west corridors where they enter and exit.
Standing on the corridor, you can clearly see the huge pool that fills the middle courtyard under the yard!
There are sparkling ripples in the pool and clear reflections. Three fairy mountains are distributed in a triangular wedge shape in the middle, one big and two small, sitting in the water, representing Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. At the same time, the fairy mountains are surrounded by waterside pavilions and stone bridges, which meander in the fairy mountains. Nearby, there are criss-crossing and dense streets. Starting from any point, you can walk to the end of the atrium by relying on the waterside stone bridge with twists and turns!
If you look closely, the waterside stone bridge in the middle courtyard is like all kinds of street lanterns on the river, gorgeous, detailed and rich in color!
