Ancient Tower in Yinshan Chapter 45 The True Face of Shadow

I looked at the human figure and felt inexplicable goosebumps all over the place.

At first glance, I felt that it was actually a stone statue, but then I realized that it was impossible because the shape was too lifelike, and it really felt like a solidified hanging man. In that era, even if someone wanted to carve such a shocking thing, they would not carve it so realistically. Although there were many evil gods in the Southern Barbarians, they were mostly exaggerated and none were realistic.

There were so many strange things along the way that I didn't dare to take it lightly. Maybe it was this thing that gave off the green light just now, and the location seemed just right.

I approached the human figure carefully. After swimming closer, the feeling of a waxy dead person became more obvious. On the other hand, I found that its right hand was severed from the wrist, and the entire hand was missing. It was not cast like this from the beginning, but was destroyed.

mock up! I want to learn from Venus but I haven’t learned from home! I hesitated for a moment and carefully scraped off the white precipitate on it with a military thorn to see its original color.

When I scraped off a piece and took a look, I was surprised. The thing itself was actually a variety of black and red flowers, but they were not very bright and were darkly tangled together. It's like mold and mildew. When I continued scraping, I discovered that the black, black, and red mottled mold and mildew were originally rust, and this thing was actually made of iron.

No way! Is it an iron figurine? I had the courage to pinch it with my hands, and it turned out that it was indeed solid iron. Some places may have been tempered well and have not rotted yet. You can even see very delicate patterns carved on it. Other surfaces were completely rusty and were all dark red. spots.

I gradually realized something and immediately scraped off all the attachments from it. An iron figurine with a very unique shape soon appeared in front of me.

I couldn't help but be a little shocked, because the impression this thing gave me just now was that it was lifelike in shape but crude in appearance. But looking at it now, I can see that its surface was originally polished. Although it is now rusty, I can definitely tell that it was very delicate before. They are all beautiful patterns and a work of art. Touching it with your hands, you can feel that these patterns are exactly the same as those of the iron blocks found under the bed of stuffy oil bottles.

I see! This is what the archaeological team salvaged underwater! Those iron blocks are the fragments of this kind of iron figurines.

Is this a cultural relic? Is it of archaeological value?

Then I remembered that Menyoupin had said that these iron blocks were very dangerous, so I kept a careful eye on them and stopped touching them. I kept a distance and observed them carefully.

I have no research on ironware, but I have a deep understanding of gilt bronze wares. I have seen iron figurines in the antique market. They are tin-iron wares. They are all small pieces. I have never seen such a big one. Firstly, iron was very expensive in ancient times. Such a large iron figurine would cost an astonishing amount of hoppers. Secondly, ironware is not easy to preserve and rusts too easily. There are many iron Buddhas from the Ming Dynasty, but they are actually hollow. .

If the overall workmanship of this thing is the same as the iron block of the stuffy oil bottle, it will basically be solid. It may contain something inside, but it will not be too empty and may be very heavy. Could such a heavy thing be a Buddhist iron magic weapon, used to lock up some kind of demon?

I was thinking wildly, but I also knew that it was impossible to come up with a reason. There was no leading line for everything, and no matter how hard I tried, it would be useless.

I originally wanted to see the patterns on the iron figurines, but they were so rusty that I couldn't see the whole thing at all, and the rest of it couldn't be distinguished either. Panma once said that there are many pieces of iron. Is there more than one iron figurine here?

But there was nothing all around. It was impossible for such a big thing to be hidden under the collapsed objects. Where were the iron blocks taken away by the archaeological team salvaged from?

Is it possible that every Yao village here has the same iron figurines distributed throughout the village? Or is it hidden somewhere else in the ancient building?

Subconsciously, I turned my head and saw the door behind me.

Thinking back to the photo, there was a corridor on one side of the screen. I adjusted my position and found that the corridor in the photo was located here, which was the back door of the back hall.

In an ordinary old house, this door should be the first to enter the courtyard, but there is only the front of an ancient building, so you can go out after this door. Outside is the bluestone street of the ancient village, which cannot be a corridor.

However, in my memory, the door frame in the photo is exactly the same as here. There is no doubt that the shooting location is here. How could there be a deviation? Could it be that there was a corridor when the photo was taken, but it was later demolished?

My concept of time is completely confused. It seems that the time when the photo was taken and the time when the ancient village sank must be reconsidered.

When I looked closer, I saw that the carved door showed no signs of decay. I pulled it and found that it looked like wood, but was actually an iron door. I used the search light to shine again, and I was stunned for a moment. I didn't see the bluestone road outside. Behind the door, there was really a corridor.

The corridor is not flat, but slopes down, leading deep underground. The conditions on both sides are exactly the same as in the photos.

I became more and more certain that the location in the photo was taken here, and I was excited. I thought, no, if it is such a structure, the back door of the back hall is connected to the corridor, and the corridor leads to the underground. Could it be that this ancient house has backward access? But is this backward compound built underground? ④Read on Tianshu Chinese website
