Chapter 4: Underground Palace Ancient Battlefield
Chapter 4: Underground Palace Ancient Battlefield
A small plain! The colorful sun, moon and stars in the sky, the huge gray city in the distance, especially in the city, a palace was built in the air, about a thousand feet high. It can be vaguely seen that the palace is glowing red and shining! A long suspended stone staircase connects the city and the palace.
Outside the city gate in the distance, you can see two neatly arranged phalanxes, with brightly colored armor and weapons in their hands, standing still. They are the terracotta warriors of the two phalanxes.
He was at a battlefield outside the city. The smoke of gunpowder had already dissipated, but the battlefield was still filled with weapons and horses, and the surroundings were filled with debris and corpses.
Qin Feng was so shocked by the scene that he took a breath and shivered all over!
Looking around, he slowly calmed down his shock, took off the mask that was crushed and shattered, and took off the torn protective suit. The air was very fresh, and the temperature and humidity were relatively suitable.
Wearing a grey Li Ning casual suit and sneakers, he looked very strange and out of place standing here.
After a long time, Qin Feng closed his surprised mouth and remembered to carefully observe the surrounding situation.
On this huge battlefield, damaged chariots, shattered armor, broken weapons, and severed limbs can be seen everywhere.
It can be seen how intense it was at that time. The more Qin Feng watched, the more shocked he became, the more excited he became, and the more incredible he found it!
Damaged chariots, daggers, armor, and wooden mechanisms were everywhere, as were dead warriors and humanoid objects. These humanoid objects were holding daggers, and it could be seen that most of them were made of pottery and wood.
Qin Feng's eyes moved to the front, where two humanoid figures thrust their golden spears into each other's bodies, one made of pottery and the other made of wood. Although they had both fallen to the ground, their bodies formed a strange posture, which made Qin Feng very puzzled.
As expected of a loyal fan of Qin history, if this scene happened to another person, he would definitely be scared to death. But Qin Feng was different. He was used to seeing ancient corpses and tombs, but he was very interested.
He squatted down as usual, looking at the two bodies, and began to ponder professionally:
"A terracotta figurine! A mechanical man! That's not right! All the joints of this mechanical man can move, and the workmanship is really fine. But this terracotta figurine?"
As he spoke, he turned the mechanical man over and took a look! He then turned the terracotta figurine over with great effort:
"It is indeed a terracotta warrior! It is hollow and cast, and as hard as iron. How can it move and fight? It is strange!"
After groping around on the terracotta figurine for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what it was.
Qin Feng carefully walked around the corpses and slowly walked towards the depths of the battlefield. He began to touch here and knock there.
Here, you can walk and look around, full of archaeological style:
"A two-horse chariot made of bronze. Could this be the legendary Qin warriors? These are the heavy-armored warriors, and these are the Iron Eagle warriors!"
"Iron armor? This is eye-opening! I thought the Qin army used leather and stone armor, but I didn't expect them to wear iron armor. The workmanship is so damn fine!"
Qin Feng, who was immersed in it, swore unnaturally.
"Heavy crossbows! Longbows! Wow! Amazing! No wonder Qin Shi Huang was able to unify the six kingdoms. With all this equipment, he was invincible in that era!"
As he was watching, a strange scene nearby caught his attention!
Qin Feng came closer:
A blue corpse with a black face and expressionless face chopped off the head of a wooden mechanical man with a bronze sword in hand, while its chest was pierced by the opponent's sharp blade.
"This is!!! A drug-poisoned Yin puppet?"
Qin Feng sucked in a breath of cold air when he saw the traces of dried black liquid flowing out of the green corpse!
The poisoned Yin puppet that appeared here gave Qin Feng goose bumps.
"During the Warring States Period, Yin-Yang School advocated the Yin-Yang concept in the Book of Changes, and finally changed the Five Elements concept to the Five Virtues. However, in some miscellaneous notes, it is occasionally mentioned that among Zou Yan's fellow disciples, there were people who fell from the orthodox doctrine and established Yin-Yang. They violated the teachings of their ancestors and used the techniques of Yin-Yang medicine and poison to confuse people's moral principles and control their words and deeds! I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to exist! This is too scary! Is this a zombie?"
The closer Qin Feng got to the center of the battlefield, the more surprised he was.
More and more zombies and mechanical men appeared, as well as Qin warriors with green faces, who were obviously poisoned to death. The bodies of centurions and thousand-man commanders also appeared frequently.
In addition to the Qin warriors, there were also some people dressed strangely and holding various weapons.
As he watched, Qin Feng turned over all the knowledge in his mind, trying to compare and analyze and verify them one by one.
This nerd! This stubborn person! He was just like a starving ghost seeing a plate of braised pork, and he quickly became addicted to it.
"Hey! Jade bone piece!"
After turning over one or two horse-drawn chariots, a pale yellow jade plate, no bigger than a palm, was revealed under the chariots. The jade plate was rectangular and very thin, similar to a playing card.
Qin Feng picked up the jade token and looked at it over and over for a long time:
"This carving is very strange and complicated! It seems to be a bone jade array board used by Taoists during the period of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Taoist philosophy emphasizes the principle of inaction, following the laws of nature, and advocating inaction. Taoist arrays are roughly divided into Yin arrays and Yang arrays. Yang arrays are mainly used for Yang affairs and praying for the blessing of all things. Yin arrays are mainly used for attacking. Legend has it that there are the famous Taoist 49 arrays, which are quite powerful. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he still respected Taoism and accepted the Greater Xianyang Plan proposed by Taoism. No wonder Taoism appeared here."
Dojo, sacrifice, array. These things are all considered feudal superstition in modern society, but Qin Feng, as an archaeologist, has come into contact with too many ancient tombs and corpses. Although bizarre things are not common, he has seen them. He is not opposed to things that violate the laws of nature, but is very interested in them and often studies them.
Just as he was immersed in it, carefully sorting through the debris of the battlefield, suddenly a series of earth-shaking roars reached his ears, like thunder!
"Wind, wind, wind!"
As the roar sounded, there was a slight tremor under my feet:
"what!"
He quickly looked up!
The two phalanxes of terracotta warriors outside the city gate in the distance suddenly moved, and their orderly steps made his feet begin to tremble rhythmically.
"Wind? Oh my god!"
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, grabbed a large shield beside him and held it on his head, turned around and ran back for his life.
"woo woo woo woo!"
“Ding ding ding ding…!”
Qin Feng ran a long way, and the vibration under his feet disappeared. He looked down at the big shield that he had thrown beside him. The big shield was already nailed with arrows more than one meter long, and some of them had already protruded from the shield. Qin Feng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat:
"That was a close call! I almost got stabbed into a hedgehog!"
Looking up at the Qin Terracotta Army Formation that had been restored to its original state in the distance, and then looking at the tragic scene on the battlefield, Qin Feng suddenly realized:
"Oh! I see! There are no living things here. This battlefield is the product of who knows how many years ago. It is almost intact not only due to environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, but also due to other factors. However, how is the oxygen here produced? These things have not oxidized after so many years! How is it done?"
"These two groups of Qin Terracotta Warriors should be controlled by something. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a large formation. What exactly is this large formation?"
A series of questions arose, arousing Qin Feng's strong curiosity.
"Gulu!"
My stomach growled.
"Let's find out if there's anything edible! Damn it! What could be edible in a tomb from two thousand years ago? Let's look for it! If there's oxygen, there should be plants. Even if it's just tree bark, it can at least satisfy our hunger!"
Thinking of this, he began to look around and observe carefully!
