The front room of the underground palace is not large, but it is much wider than the tomb passage.
The walls of the earth cave are lined with tomb bricks.
As soon as you enter, the lantern becomes dim and the flashlight cannot shine far.
The bad luck is still very heavy, and there is an unpleasant smell of earth.
The fishy smell made us afraid to walk too fast for fear of being suffocated.
In front of you is a mural of evil beasts guarding the door, with patterns of cranes and auspicious clouds painted on the sides and top of the head.
Four tomb figurines in the front room face each other in a half-kneeling posture.
They all look like guards, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and long hair.
He wears a shawl, a round-collared floral robe, long boots, a belt around his waist, and holds a long hammer in his hand.
The boots with floral hammer are all covered with gold foil.
I saw that Zhang Juwa wanted to scrape off the gold foil and take it away, so I said to him: "The second Taoist priest told me that it is enough to take the five treasures in the back room.
There are too many burial objects in the Liao tomb.
If you even scrape off the gold foil, it will be enough for three days."
I can’t finish my work at night.”
Zhang Juwa couldn't even look at it, and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I listen to you, brother, why don't these tile masters hold maces in their hands, but hold this thing that looks like a hammer but is not a hammer?
Does it work?"
I said, "What do you know?
What Mr.
Wa is holding is not a copper hammer.
It's called a golden melon.
The emperor is not allowed to see the blade or the thorn before driving, so the servants only use gold melons.
When the emperor saw who was unhappy, he ordered the guards to pull him out in the palace.
To hit the top with a golden melon is to push the sinner to the ground and hit the head with the long hammer, just like smashing a watermelon."
Zhang Juwa said: "My brother is better, he even knows this."
Saunier said: "I seem to have heard my father say that this is called Guduo."
In fact, what Sonnier said is right.
The warriors in the Liao Tomb were holding Gu Duo, which was a weapon of the Khitan people a long time ago.
It was also a guard of honor, not a golden gourd used for hitting the top.
I didn’t know that at that time.
What kind of object it is?
I’m just talking nonsense.
I told Sonnier that Guduo is no different from a pumpkin, but they are called differently inside and outside the country.
After talking, he entered the middle chamber, which is a cave tomb on the roof of a dome with a round sky.
The area of the earth cave is the size of four private houses.
The wall is three to four meters high.
The flashlight can't reach the end.
There is an ear room on both sides, and there are stone pillars made of bricks in the corners. , with a red background and floral patterns outlined in black and white.
There are entire murals all around and above the head, with bright colors and vivid images.
On the top of the dome-shaped tomb, a deep sky is painted in dark blue, dotted with white stars.
There is a red-yellow sun disk in the southeast, in which a three-legged golden crow lives.
There is a bright moon in the southwest, and the Jade Rabbit and Laurel Trees are all in this moon palace.
The starry sky In the distance, the sun rises and the moon sets, making people feel that time is like lightning and life is fleeting.
I look up at the murals on the top of the ancient tomb that are more than a thousand years old.
My heart is pounding when I see it.
Sonnier and Zhang Juwa Also stunned.

I said to myself: "This little Khitan girl really knows how to enjoy it.
She will have to look at such exquisite murals after her death."
Thinking like this, I shined the flashlight on the wall again, took two steps forward, and found that in the ancient tomb The murals are arranged in an orderly manner, depicting the life of the tomb owner. , there are banquets, songs and dances in the palace, witchcraft rituals to worship gods and heaven, and scenes of riding horses and hunting in the mountains and forests.
The guards are wearing armor and stand solemnly, and the slaves are groveling to pass wine and meat.
Leading a neatly draped horse and holding it with great courtesy , as if waiting for the owner of the tomb to leave at any time.
The side chamber is filled with crystal clear agate cups and crystal bowls, white porcelain and celadon bowls and plates, gold pots and silver pots, and horse saddles and stirrups inlaid with gold and jade.
There is a layer of silt, but brushing away the dust, the yellow gold and white The silver and red agates are so dazzling that they are not comparable to the native chickens and dogs in ordinary old tombs.
Although thousands of years have passed, you can immediately imagine the tomb owner's rich clothing and fine food when he looked at these murals and funerary objects.
The slaves flocked to Bailuo's luxurious life.
Zhang Juwa said: "Compared with the owner of this tomb, my life has been in vain.
How can they live such a life?"
I said, "Your master has a saying that is right.
Don't blame anyone for your bad luck.
If you are to blame, just blame the mugwort that didn't grow on our ancestral graves."
Saunier said: "They are all things that you will not take with you in life or death.
It is useless to have so many things.
Manggu had so many servants, bodyguards, horses and golden beads during his lifetime.
He died at a young age."
I asked her: "How did you know that the Khitan female corpse died at a young age?"
Saunier said: "What's so strange about this?
The shaman goddess Manggu was only in her twenties when she died.
No one knows where she is buried.
But when it comes to Manggu, many old people in shamanism know about it.
Legend has it that During his lifetime, Manggu was able to communicate with ghosts and gods, and he was able to see clearly from thousands of miles away.
He was also very beautiful and rare in the world. " I said: "No matter how beautiful the Khitan female corpse was during her lifetime, we can no longer see her alive.
It's a pity that there were no cameras in those days and no images could be left.
However, the murals in Liao tombs pay attention to realism, and the murals should be the true faces of the ancients."
I wanted to see the true appearance of the Daliao princess, shaman and goddess in the murals of the ancient tomb, but there were so many murals in the front and middle rooms, but there was no image of the tomb owner in them.
But I knew that the corpse of the Khitan woman who had been sleeping for thousands of years was not behind her.
She was in this gloomy tomb, always watching every move of the three of us
