According to the Han Dynasty ritual system, there are five essential parts in the coffin bed room of the royal tombs of the Western Han Dynasty.

These five parts are from the outside to the inside: the outer coffin (the collective name of all tombs in the underground palace), the ward room, the yellow intestine, the coffin (the coffin of the tomb owner) and the golden jade garment.

The large wooden house that Wu Liang and others entered should be the one among them.

There have always been two views on the use of toilet rooms in the archaeological world:

One view is that the "peasant room" is a place for the soul of the tomb owner to rest, because some catering and music and dance tools were unearthed in the tombs of many princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, so it can be proved that the function of the pet room is rest and entertainment;

Another view is that the "peace room" is a place for the relatives who come to worship the deceased to rest.

Wu Liang prefers the latter.

This needs to be linked to the huge tomb door outside that uses "stones".

If you are not prepared to come in again after the burial, there is no need to set up a "stone" that can be easily opened by using the "spike key", right? Isn't it safer to seal it directly?

besides.

Wu Liang remembers that there is also a record in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Literature" where the emperor entered the tomb to worship the former emperor: "The zodiac road was opened, and the emperor visited the guest room. Taichang looked for the envy road, and left the staff, and the servants in the middle of the army received it. When they arrived in front of the coffin, they cried and stopped as if they were ritual. They said that Taichang was out and they were promoted to the car and returned to the palace."

This record once again confirmed the true use of toilet rooms.

At this moment, the toilet room in front of Wu Liang and others was also decorated in a magnificent manner, and the decorations were mostly made of musical instruments.

The first thing that comes into view is a set of chime chimes of very exaggerated scale. This chime chimes are divided into two layers, the brackets are cast in bronze, and the chimes are all made of cyan jade of different sizes.

Wu Liang counted carefully and found that the upper and lower two layers of chimes had as many as thirty-two!

If chimes of this scale were placed in the archaeological circle of later generations, it would definitely cause a sensation... Because as far as he knows, there are only 32 largest chimes discovered in archaeology so far, and the chimes are all made of stone, which is undoubtedly a little worse than this set of jade chimes.

Next to this set of chimes, there is also a set of chimes of similar size.

The chimes did not use jade, so the whole body was cast from bronze, with only one layer, from large to small from left to right, and a total of thirteen bronze bells.

However, compared with that set of chimes, this set of chimes is much more mediocre.

Because in 1978, archaeologists discovered a chime that was "the best" in the tomb of Zeng Houyi in the Warring States Period. The set of chimes consisted of 65 bells. This set of chimes is so big that it can't be stewed in a pot... Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah

Emmm…

Thinking of this, Wu Liang secretly repeated the name "Zeng Houyi" in his heart several times to further deepen his memory.

This tomb was before the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he knew the approximate address. If he had the opportunity, he might go and see what other amazing things were besides this set of chimes in the tomb of "Zeng Houyi" and "protected" them together.

But now, we still have to deal with the tomb in front of us first.

At the same time, seeing the chime chimes and chimes, Wu Liang became more sure that the room was a place for the royal relatives who came to worship the deceased to rest.

Because these two large instruments have little to do with leisure and entertainment, they are usually only used when the royal family holds palace music or grand ceremony.

The chimes and bells ring together.

"When it is close, the bell sounds bright, and when it is far away, the bell sounds bright."

Only in this way can the royal magnificent temperament be displayed.

In addition, there are also some small instruments such as yu, sheng, se, qin, and zheng in the room, but these instruments can only be regarded as foils in front of the chimes and bells.

After checking the situation here, Wu Liang led everyone through the toilet room and finally walked into the tomb room in the back hall.

Wherever the torch light passes, the surrounding ground is accumulated from yellow-hearted cypress wood yards of the same length and specifications. It is arranged longitudinally on the north and south sides and longitudinally on the east and west sides. In this way, the word "mouth" is surrounded to form an extremely neat rectangular tomb pit.

This picture may force patients with intensive phobia to death, but it is also extremely friendly to patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

But this is the origin of "Yellow Intestine Title".

The so-called "yellow intestine" refers to the materials, which refers to these yellow-hearted cypress wood workshops.

The so-called "Qingcuo" refers to the placement method and structure. These cypress wood floors are laid layer by layer and are vertically oriented to the same side wall chamber. From the inside out, you can only see the cross-section of the cypress wood floor on the four walls. The word "Qingcuo" is appropriate.

Among these tomb pits surrounded by "yellow intestines", Wu Liang and others finally saw the "codile" of King Xiao of Liang Liu Wu.

It was a large coffin with extremely solid materials.

From the slightly purple wood grain on the coffin and the special fragrance emitted, it can be judged that the material used in this coffin is Xiangnan.

Although this nanmu does not have the quality of nanmu, it is better because its fragrance is distant and not pungent. It can overshadow the unique odor of some corpses. At the same time, it can effectively prevent ant insect attacks and is more suitable for use as a coffin.

But now, Wu Liang and everyone's focus is no longer on the material of the coffin.

The question they are more concerned about is how the lid of this coffin is open!?

"Wu Liang, what's going on?"

The soldiers were suddenly panicked.

From entering the stone gate to the present, there is no sign of anyone coming in in King Xiao of Liang before, and all the burial objects are intact, but now the lid of the tomb owner's coffin has been overturned aside for some reason. This is not scientific at all!?

"Don't panic, let me take a look first!"

Wu Liang was also quite confused, so he had to calm everyone down first, then carefully approached the coffin with a torch in his hand, stretched his neck to look inside the coffin.

The first thing that catches your eye is the "golden jade clothes" placed on the yellow lining.

The golden-thread jade garment is also called "Yuqi", which is a special burial garment used by members of the Han Dynasty after the death of the royal family. Its appearance is the same as that of the human body, and the whole body is made of jade pieces and gold thread.

In fact, some ministers and nobles can also use this form of burial clothes, but they can only use silver thread and copper thread to make it up, but that is not called "golden thread jade clothes", but "silver thread jade clothes" or "copper thread jade clothes".

But that's not the point.

The point is that a big hole was broken on the chest of this golden jade suit. Through the crack, you can see that the golden jade suit was just an empty shell. The corpse that should have been wrapped inside disappeared, and there was not even a dry bone left!

Where is the corpse!?

Wu Liang felt cold in his heart.

He knew very well that even after hundreds of years, the corpse in this closed tomb would definitely not disappear completely.

Was it eaten by some creature, such as pangolins?

It's impossible!
