Chapter 552: Funeral Objects

After the Dragon-Breaking Stone at the entrance of the tomb was put into the storage space, the glittering jewels revealed inside almost blinded Yang Jing's eyes.

"This, this is the real burial object..."

It is true that money can attract people's attention. Yang Jing had looted four treasures, and he had seen a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry. Even the things he had seen in the tomb of Wu Zetian were all rare treasures. He even took the most precious imperial seal in China's five thousand years. But after seeing the whole tomb filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, he couldn't help but swear.

If the burial objects in the previous two tombs were arranged in an orderly manner, then the burial objects in this tomb can only be described as messy.

A whole room full of gold, silver and jewelry was thrown on the ground in a mess, just like unwanted garbage on the street.

Gold and silver jewelry, jade, corals, and natural pearls that had turned into colorless balls were all spread out on the rain. Except for the Tang Sancai that had been placed around and a few items in the middle of the tomb, everything else was scattered.

There were so many burial objects in the tomb that Yang Jing had no idea where to start. Some of the burial objects even rolled out of the tomb due to the disappearance of the Dragon-Breaking Stone. Yang Jing took a lot of effort to get into the tomb.

After entering the tomb, Yang Jing finally understood why the tomb was so messy. This was the tomb for the empress's funeral objects. The officials or workers who placed the funeral objects would never dare to make the tomb so messy. The reason why the tomb became like this was that the wooden boxes that originally held the funeral objects had decayed, so the funeral objects rolled everywhere.

The wooden boxes containing these funerary objects were also made of golden nanmu. Unfortunately, perhaps these funerary objects were too heavy, or the quality of the wooden boxes was not up to standard when they were made. Anyway, now, what appeared in front of Yang Jing was the wooden board that was pressed under these funerary objects.

The tomb was in a mess. Yang Jing was not in a hurry to sort out the messy burial objects, but instead set his eyes on the Tang Sancai that were close to the walls around the tomb.

Tang Sancai refers to the glaze color on Tang Dynasty pottery, and later it was also used to refer to Tang Dynasty painted pottery in general. There are many kinds of glaze colors on Tang Dynasty painted pottery, but the main colors are yellow, green, white or green, ochre, and blue, so it is called "three colors". Tang Sancai was mainly used for burial in the Tang Dynasty, that is, funerary objects and figurines.

The heyday of Tang Sancai was during the Kaiyuan Period, but this does not mean that there was no Tang Sancai in the early Tang Dynasty. Just like the more than ten Tang Sancai with different images discovered by Yang Jing now, they are obviously from before the Kaiyuan Period.

Tang Sancai is not porcelain, but pottery, but because of its brilliant colors, it actually looks quite exquisite. Especially the Tang Sancai buried in this tomb, both in size and color, far exceeds the unearthed Tang Sancai that Yang Jing has seen in some museums.

Although the value of these Tang Sancai in later generations is not too high, they are, after all, funerary objects prepared for Empress Wu Zetian to be buried with her. This is a gimmick that is more valuable than the Tang Sancai itself. Once put on display in one's own private museum and a sign reading "Tang Sancai buried with Empress Wu Zetian" is hung outside, it will definitely attract countless eyes.

These treasures cannot be lost!

After Yang Jing walked around the tomb carefully, the dozen or so huge Tang Sancai statues were all put into the storage space. Then Yang Jing began to carefully select the funerary objects scattered on the ground.

Most of these burial objects are gold and silver ornaments and jewelry, with gold and jewelry being the main ones. There are silver ornaments, but not many. After all, these are the burial objects prepared by Wu Zetian for herself. Silver products of low value would not be qualified to enter here unless they are made with extremely exquisite workmanship.

Yang Jing had seen a lot of gold and silver ornaments and jewelry. In the treasures he had looted before, this kind of thing was the most abundant. However, these ornaments and jewelry were thousands of years old and could definitely be considered cultural relics. Their value was naturally not comparable to those modern jewelry.

Just like the gold ingot you are holding in your hand now, although the gold content is not enough, there is an imprint of six words "Made in the Neifu of the Zhou Dynasty" on the bottom of the gold ingot, which directly indicates the origin of this gold ingot, that is, it was made in the Neifu of the Wu Zhou Dynasty.

Just these six words can double the value of this gold ingot. This is a gold ingot made by the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty established by a female emperor more than a thousand years ago!

In addition to gold and silver jewelry, there are also many gems, such as Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Lantian jade and other jade articles. However, what is a pity is the pearls.

Naturally, there were no artificial pearls in the Tang Dynasty. As long as they were pearls, they were all natural pearls. And how could the pearls used by an empress be bad? However, as the saying goes, "pearls turn yellow with age", even if these pearls were loved by Wu Zetian during her time, after more than a thousand years of history, these originally extremely precious pearls have all lost their due mission.

If gold, silver jewelry and gemstones can be easily preserved for more than a thousand years, it is very rare for pearls to be preserved for a hundred years.

Shaking his head, Yang Jing collected all the pearls that had long lost their luster. It was not a big deal to leave these things scattered here, so he took them all away and found a place to bury them after he left.

These pearls may have witnessed the legend of a queen in the past. Now they have lost their former glory. So it may be more appropriate to find a suitable place for them to rest in peace.

After cleaning up the outside, Yang Jing could finally see the situation in the middle of the tomb clearly.

There were six stone tables in the middle of the tomb, and a large wooden box was placed on each stone table. However, these wooden boxes have now been scattered, and the funerary objects inside have all rolled out.

Judging from the six scattered wooden boxes, each one is nearly as long, wide and high as a person. Once six such large boxes are scattered, the funerary objects inside will naturally almost submerge the tomb.

There are more burial objects here, and compared with those scattered outside, the varieties of burial objects here are much greater.

Forget about anything else. At least the contents of the brocade box in Yang Jing's hand almost made Yang Jing's heart jump out of his throat...
