Chapter 1053: Yu men_2
As pinluo had said, the clothes Yi Chang and the others were wearing were too heavy and not suitable for their journey.
The higher the number of layers, the higher the status of the person, but at the same time, it might also represent other information.
When she thought of this, she couldnât help but ask, â
âPinluo, have you ever heard about the custom of martyrdom in your area?â
Pinluo was still in shock after hearing what she said. He didnât know how to react when he heard song Qingâs question, and he looked confused.
have you dug up any ancient tombs in your area? what were the clothes the dead wore when they were buried? â
After hearing what she said, the young man quickly understood her meaning.
youâre saying that the clothes theyâre wearing might be âŠ
Song qingxiao nodded. He started to tremble again, and his teeth clattered.
âNo way? I just met them. Theyâre alive.â
He was already panicking, but with song qingxiaoâs reminder, he quickly remembered something.
more than ten years ago, a 3000-year-old tomb of Tusi was dug out here ⊠His face was pale and his hands and feet were trembling.
the whole country was shocked because this discovery was too big. They even built a Museum in our local area.
The ceremonial robe worn by the Minister of land was cleaned by the scholars and displayed in the museum.
When the museum opened, the locals had all gone to see it, and pinluo often went there too.
Now that he thought about it, the burial clothes that had been taken from tu SIâs body were indeed similar to what these people were wearing.
âTheyâre all dark blue wide-sleeved shirts with a collar. The lower body is wrapped in a layer of cloth, and a Jade hook is hung on the waist.â
âAre you sure?â Although this answer was within song qingxiaoâs expectations, she still asked.
Pinluoâs face was pale, but he nodded firmly.
âIâm sure,â
He swallowed his saliva and calmed the uneasiness in the depths of his heart.
you donât know this, but thereâs always been a legend about Dragons in our local area.
3,000 years ago, etiquette had not been established, and the dress code was not formal. However, there was a legend of Dragons here, so the local people believed in the tradition of the Dragon King and worshipped the Dragon totem.
Even the most powerful local official, tu si, didnât dare to embroider a Dragon totem on his clothes. This was because he was afraid that wearing a Dragon would be disrespectful to the Dragon and would incur the wrath of the Dragon King, leading to a disaster.
However, after the person died, there would not be such a huge restriction.
When they were alive, they were afraid that their luck would not be able to suppress the dragonâs luck, so they would not usually embroider Dragon totems on their bodies. However, after they died, the burial clothes they wore would have Dragon totems on them. This meant that after death, their souls would be guided by the Dragon King and return to the Pure Land of bliss, so that their descendants would be blessed.
now that youâve mentioned it, Iâve noticed that the edges of the clothes worn by Yichang and the others look like Dragon patterns.
At first, it looked like a simple curved diagram, but after song Qingâs reminder, pinluo realized that something was wrong.
The graveclothes in the museum were old and damaged. Even if they were repaired, they couldnât be restored to their new state, so he didnât recognize them at first.
Now that he thought about it, not only did the shroud in the museum look similar to what Yi Chang and the others wore, but the pattern was also 70% to 80% similar.
âAt that time, the skill of embroidery was not developed, so it was only similar in spirit and shape. It was not like the Dragon embroidery of the future, which was vivid and lifelike.â
However, the clothes that Yi Chang and the others were wearing were obviously newer and more luxurious than the burial object that was dug out from the tomb. Moreover, because they were worn by âliving peopleâ, he did not think in that direction at the time.
âBesides, besides, the clothes that Tusi was wearing didnât have that many layers.â The more he spoke, the more he wanted to cry.
Song qingxiao, on the other hand, was very calm. Pinluoâs words confirmed her suspicion.
After confirming that there was something wrong with the clothes that Yichang and the others were wearing, the only thing that remained to be confirmed was the meaning of the layers of clothes and what the reason was.
Apart from the people uncle Xiang had brought with him, there were 147 clansmen in total. This number should have been fixed.
â147..â
Song qingxiao repeated the number in a low voice. She remembered that on her way here, there were men and women who saluted her. There were middle-aged people who looked like Chu Rong, and there were also elderly people. However, it was as if she had never seen a child.
