Chapter 90: How can there be a road to immortality in the world (52)(2/2)
"Oh my god! Chinese purple, Chinese blue!"
When the powerful light shone into the tomb, illuminating the terracotta warriors and horses that had been covered in dust for two thousand years, Zhang Qingrui was so excited that she slightly covered her lips with her little hand!
"Chinese purple...Chinese blue?" Song Haoran was stunned, quite confused.
"That refers to a painting technique from the Qin Dynasty." Luo Qiu answered Song Haoran's doubts.
At this moment, Luo Qiu naturally walked to the pit in the tomb, squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the body of a terracotta warrior and horse directly below, and casually said: "In 1979, the archaeological worker Lintong also opened the

"Eh...it's really peeling off." Song Haoran frowned at this time.
I saw that the colors on these terracotta warriors and horses were lifting and peeling piece by piece, just like what Luo Qiu said. But the only difference is that these peeling colors are not due to air oxidation!
