Lin Mengjia was very curious: "Tang Feng, is this really relief?"
Tang Feng nodded.
His eyesight is much better than others, but he didn't notice it just now because he didn't pay attention to it. Looking along the way, he found that the relief didn't appear at the entrance of the passage, but just at the place where it was only more than 20 meters before.
Looking to the front, the relief does not continue all the time. It is about 100 meters after visual inspection.
The rest of the people also noticed this. Although they could not see the position at the end of the relief, they also found the beginning.
They just turn back and look at it from the beginning.
Fortunately, the distance is not too far, and it has not taken a few steps.
"What's up here?" Lin Mengjia looked at it and asked again.
"The carving is too simple. It doesn't match the whole tomb. I can't see what it is!" Xue Rui muttered as he watched.
Other people also have this feeling. These lines are really like simple strokes, just a simple outline. In their opinion, the tomb is so big, and the burial pit just seen is quite grand. If there are sculptures in it, it should be quite grand. How can it be so simple?
Li Jia also observed carefully, and said: "although these lines are simple, they are quite smooth. Moreover, the things depicted have some charm. Moreover, the sculpture style of the pre Qin period is mainly simple and rough lines."
After all, he is in this business. He knows more about these things than others. After observing for a long time, he comes to his own conclusion.
After careful observation, other people also noticed that, as Li Jia said, the sculpture looks quite simple. At first glance, it looks like a child's mess. But when you look at it carefully, you can see that every line is quite smooth, and the beginning and end are just right. A long point or a short point will destroy the overall structure.
While others are still looking at the relief Carver with some appreciation, Lin Mengjia has begun to pay attention to the picture.
At the beginning, she had thought that these lines are connected together, which is meaningful. Just at the beginning, it's a little hard to see, but now it's more. The habit of eyes, naturally speaking, is to form a picture.
As she looked at it, she said slowly, "it seems that many people are doing something. Do you think they are building some large-scale projects?"
In fact, those characters are very simple, with only a few strokes. They outline people, about 10 cm in height. On the wall, there are almost hundreds of people who are busy doing all kinds of actions.
As Lin Mengjia said, it seems that these people are engaged in a considerable project when their movements are connected. Some are digging, some are dragging stones, some are paving roads, and some are directing. The whole scene is very busy.
Because the concave and convex of these lines and carvings are not very obvious, they can not be seen at the beginning. Now after they are connected together, soon everyone can see the clue.
"They are building a mausoleum," she said
"And it's very likely that this is where we are!" Xue Panpan also exclaimed.
With the people in their minds, all the pictures are connected together, all of them are suddenly enlightened and nodded.
Yes, what the relief shows is the scene of building the mausoleum.
"It's strange that according to the productivity of the pre Qin period, it was relatively developed. This heavy stone should be pulled by cattle and horses. Why did it all rely on human power and didn't see any livestock?"
Li Jianming's observation is quite careful. After a long time, he raised his doubts.
When he said that, other people also looked for it carefully. Sure enough, within the scope of their eyesight, they could only see simple human figures, and there was no other way to help them.
The huge strip stones are also tied with ropes. Two or more people carry them on their shoulders, or they push cars. They all depend on people.
Moreover, judging from the whole relief, this tomb, of course, is extremely huge. They have been walking for such a long time, maybe half of them have not arrived.
Is such a huge project actually completed by manpower?
Xue Rui speculated: "perhaps, at that time, it was really a backward area with less livestock to drive? After all, in the pre Qin period, wars occurred frequently, and all places were in chaos or under threat of war. Maybe those large livestock were taken over by the army? "
Although people didn't agree with Xue Rui's conjecture, they couldn't think of a good answer for a moment. After stopping for a while, they began to move forward.
As they walked along, they continued to observe, and soon they got more surprising information from these reliefs.
"It seems that the tomb was built according to the mountain. Even if the mountain was not completely hollowed out, it was nearly half dug, and it also extended downward toward the underground position. But what does this thing mean?"
Tiger Xie pointed to a relief pattern in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.
Just above the relief he was referring to, there was a rather strange picture.
This picture is divided into two parts: the above ground part and the underground part. According to the line division, we can see that the above ground part is a mountain. What is carved here seems to be a cross-section of the mountain. We can see that there are many cross passages extending in all directions.
However, this part of the ground only accounts for less than a quarter of the whole picture. What's more, it's under the ground level, and the strangeness is also here.
At the position where the mountain is flush with the ground, there is also a channel extending downward, showing a spiral shape. When it extends to a certain length, the channel disappears.
In the disappearing position, instead, there are two lines protruding from the wall. These two lines are parallel to each other, and are at right angles to the ground. They extend vertically and downward to the ground, and are connected with the line between the wall and the ground.
