After talking about the main hall, let’s talk about the side halls.
The space of the side hall is the same as that of the main hall. The top of the hall is covered with treasure tents and sutra boards. A faintly translucent jade curtain separates the left and right sides of the main hall. Through the bead curtain, you can see the figure standing like a pine tree with a sword and halberd in his hand. The burial terracotta warriors.
Yue Guanchao opened the bead curtain and led everyone inside, where the buried terracotta warriors clearly appeared in front of everyone.
These terracotta warriors are actually replicas of the cast-iron terracotta warriors outside the ghost gate. They are deliberately exaggerated to make them taller than ordinary people. However, the materials used are not so rough. They are ceramic glazes, the same as the musician Wu Xian they saw in the Witch Sacrifice Hall. Material.
If you look carefully, you will see that the painted pottery terracotta warriors are two meters high and half a meter wide, with dozens of people standing in rows in the left and right side halls. Most of them have Guanzhong appearance, with shallow eye sockets, straight noses, slender eyes, thick Mongolian folds, and no protruding mouths. He has high cheekbones and a square or rectangular face. He is wearing bright armor, black leather cloud-head boots, a sword in hand, a double leather belt on his waist, and a helmet with red tassels fluttering. His face is cold and resolute, and he looks like he is ready for battle. The sense of urgency to order troops before the war!
The ceramics on their bodies are all spliced together. Only by careful observation can you find the tiny seams. The rich lacquer color is covered with transparent glaze, and the skin is slightly yellowish and brown. It seems that the lieutenant general has stood for thousands of years and protected the people in the temple. Heroic spirits of emperors throughout the ages.
Even if these terracotta warriors are dead objects, their momentum can make people retreat in fear!
Song Siyuan approached the terracotta warriors and tapped the ceramic shell with a flashlight. The sound was not dull, but like broken jade and silk, with light vibrations. She explained: "The people of Li Tang Dynasty used the technology of making Tang Sancai to make terracotta warriors. However, Tang Sancai They are generally smaller in size and easier to bake, so huge items like this are another matter."
After speaking, she touched the ceramic terracotta warriors and explained: "If it is completed at one time, it is probably impossible to bake it at all according to ancient technology. They can only separate the parts, and then use the skeleton to put them back together after they are finished. Even for the assembled terracotta warriors, the craftsmen did not make slots at will, but used lines extending from the grain of the clothes. Once they are closed, it is completely invisible unless you look carefully!"
"Looking at ancient times, these ceramics are all works of art. The most important difference between the terracotta warriors here and the terracotta warriors outside the ghost gate is that most of the terracotta warriors outside are of the same standard, even the heads are very different. , the terracotta warriors here have different appearances, it would be a waste if they were really templates, I guess these ceramic terracotta warriors..."
"They are all alive!"
Before she could finish her words, Yue Guanchao jumped in and made her speechless for a moment: "How is it possible? Slaves were indeed buried in the Tang Dynasty, but the ceramic terracotta warriors in front of them were not slaves. Look at the bright armor they wore and their facial features. , probably the flying guards around the emperor, each face is made according to the true appearance of the emperor's guards. Only in this way can the faces of thousands of people be different."
Song Siyuan paused, looked at everyone and said: "When Li Tang founded the country, there was a system of three imperial guards: personal guards, xunwei, and Yiwei, which were used to select brave men from various military offices to serve as the emperor's personal guards. By the time of Emperor Gaozong, Li Zhi and It was also mentioned slightly during the period of Empress Wu, and when Xuanzong Li Longji succeeded to the throne, the three imperial guards retired from the stage."
"Think about it, if it were the emperor after Gaozong, would he put the statue of the Flying Cavalry Guard in the Soul Palace?"
Song Siyuan's words made everyone shake their heads.
She followed the clues and continued to narrow the scope of these flying guards: "Since the flying guards were chosen, it must mean that the flying guards were very important to a certain emperor when the Soul Palace was built. This means that it was probably the setting of the emperor before Xuanzong. , excluding Tang Zu Li Yuan, the remaining emperors are only Taizong Li Shimin and Gaozong and his wife. The identities of these flying cavalry guards must have been selected by Li Shimin among thousands of people before he selected the emperor's private soldiers who were excellent in appearance and height."
"Mrs. Zhang, I've heard people say that there are also pottery warriors in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. They look like the warriors of Guanzhong carefully selected by Emperor Qin. If these things are moved back, what will happen to them?" They are all part of the scorpion's tail."
Sun Daqiao was afraid that Old Witch Zhang would suspect his relationship with Yue Guanchao, so he rarely talked to them along the way. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the old man finally couldn't hold back anymore and started to show off a lot of words.
"We are here just to find treasures. No matter how valuable these pottery figurines are, they are just clay. They are not easy to transport and may take up space. There is a mountain of gold and silver in these Qilin Cauldrons. Mr. Sun does not have to regret it."
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, the soldiers and bandits behind her had returned: "Old woman, boss, one hundred and fifty engineering soldiers have been assembled and are installing gold leaves outside. They will bring people here after waiting."
"Wow!"
While everyone was talking, the sudden noise made everyone nervous. They all gathered behind the palace door. They heard that the sound was obviously coming from the stone wall at the end of the palace. In other words, there was something behind the relief stone wall. .
They thought of the old monkey with charming eyes, and their backs felt numb for a moment. The portraits and sacrifices here were so important, and if there really was something like a temple guardian beast, it would inevitably be another fierce battle.
"Who's there?"
Yue Guanchao raised his shotgun and shouted several times toward the front!
No one responded, no one answered, only the slight clicking sound kept hitting the stone wall.
