Su Er picked up the newspaper and said while reading: "Well, this exhibition is actually a press conference, it is about the excavation of monuments in a small town under the jurisdiction of Haicheng, the archaeological operation has lasted for more than a year, and this exhibition is some of the cultural relics that have been cleaned up, which is the first show." ”

"One of the most culturally valuable is a faience with a simple figure painted on the body, a tall man drawing a bow and shooting arrows, and in front of him is another man holding a shield in his hand, but the face of this person has other features, like two tusks, and possibly hair. Experts speculate that the content of this painting should be the legendary Dayi chiseling teeth. ”

I interrupted, "Is Da Yi the one who makes the sun? Isn't he called Hou Yi?"

"No, Dayi and Houyi are two people, but now people are confused, the marksman is actually called Dayi, the daughter-in-law is Chang'e, and Yao Shunyu is a contemporary. And Hou Yi is a generation of kings of the Xia Dynasty, the one who issued the trumpet, the queen also, the queen actually refers to the king, and the legend says that his daughter-in-law is Luo Shen, which is much later than Dayi in terms of time. ”

She paused and said, "Dayi, the legendary archer, is famous for shooting the sun. According to the record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Southern Classic": Yi and Chisel fought in the field of Shouhua, and Yi shot him. In Kunlun Xudong. Yi holds a bow and arrows, and chisels and holds a shield. One is Ge. This is very close to what is on the faience. ”

As for the image of the chisel, because there is no record, it is generally a literal meaning, but there are also scholars who believe that the chisel should be the name of a tribe, or a tribal leader. It is mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Some people say chisel teeth. At least it proves that the chisel should be human, and its ability to fight with Dayi with a shield is obviously also a corroboration. The facial features on the faience may be the hairstyle of the tribal period, or the tribesmen may have used ivory and other things to make masks to decorate the face, which is used to indicate status or play a deterrent role in battle. ”

I wiped my hands, "Could it be that they're here for this, but that's what these things are valuable to archaeology and academia." ”

Su Er glanced at the newspaper, "I think so too, unless what they released this time, there is something else that attracts the other party." ”

Xing Liang said: "Then find someone knowledgeable and ask, go to the museum." ”

After we had dinner, Xing Liang drove us to the museum again, which was actually nearby. When I got out of the car, I saw that this place is not old and young, and there is a cultural and art center next to it, and the flow of people is quite large. Outside the museum, there was a banner and a banner to promote the first exhibition. I took a look at it, and the time of the exhibition was Wednesday, which is the day after tomorrow.

After entering the museum and talking to the staff, she led us to the reception room, followed by two men, one in his sixties and the other in his thirties.

Xing Liang introduced: "This is Director Xu of the Haicheng History Museum, and this is Captain Luo of the Armed Police Squadron who is responsible for the preservation of this first exhibition. ”

Director Xu went straight to the point and said: "A few of them are from special departments, I won't ask if there are any extra words, I just want to know if there are people who will be unfavorable to the first exhibition?"

Qin Hao said: "I did receive a tip-off that the suspect would appear at the museum at ten o'clock tonight, but I don't know why he came." However, your museum will hold an exhibition in two days, and we think it should be inseparable from this matter. ”

Captain Luo is obviously a soldier, "We attach great importance to security this time, there are soldiers on duty 24 hours a day, three shifts, and mobile troops. If someone really wants to do something, he will definitely have no return. ”

"We absolutely believe in this, but since we have received the tip-off, we can't ignore it, so we want to participate in tonight's on-duty operation, just tonight. ”

Captain Luo looked at Xing Liang, "Well, Lao Xing is also an old friend, since it is a brother unit that has needs, there is no problem on my side, but it still depends on the meaning of the host." Director Xu, where are you here?"

Director Xu helped his glasses, "The security work is all entrusted to Captain Luo, since it is a matter of work, it is okay." But I have a few requests: First, no matter what you do, you must not destroy any of the artifacts in this museum. Second, it must not affect Wednesday's press conference. ”

This condition is not too much at all, we naturally agreed, discussed for a while, and decided that Xing Liang and I would be assigned to Captain Luo's duty team tonight, change into the same clothes, and then participate in the on-site duty. Qin Hao and Su Er stayed in the monitoring room, monitoring the whole world with Captain Luo.

After making a plan, I asked Director Xu: "Curator, we think that most of the other party is here for the cultural relics to be exhibited this time." But from what we know about him, they don't value the priceless artifacts, so I'd like to ask you what's in the exhibits. ”

Director Xu looked at me, "Little comrade, then you have to keep it a secret, we have a good appetite this time." ”

"Don't worry, I just want to understand and see if I can narrow down the scope of the control. ”

Director Xu said: "The cultural relics on display this time are all from the archaeological excavation site, according to our analysis, this site has existed for a very long time, and it is even likely to exceed the Longshan culture." And most importantly, in addition to the faience with human motifs, many stone murals were also found in this excavation, and their content is basically the same as that on the faience. ”

So we have reason to believe that this is probably the descendant of Dayi, because worship, or commemoration, a temple he built. Why is it significant? Because Dayi was actually a person who existed before and after the Xia Dynasty, and basically belonged to the category of myths and legends, but if there are really relevant discoveries, it can at least give an answer to what kind of social form was in that era. ”

Then he smiled mysteriously, "And we found the skeleton this time." ”

I scratched my head and found that there was something special about the skeletons, couldn't they be found in many places? and there were burial pits.

Sur asked, "Yes... What kind of skeleton?"

"In addition to a portion of human skeletons, we unexpectedly found two large teeth. ”

Suer and I were both shocked, and the teeth were huge. I hurriedly asked, "Yes... Teeth or something?"

Director Xu shook his head, "These are basically calcified, if you want to study them, you have to go to the laboratory, but from the outside, our speculation is that it is ivory, but it has been made into the appearance of a mask, which should be an ornament." ”

"In the current discoveries, the faience and murals all reflect the story of Dayi's chiseled teeth, so we think that this tooth must be related to the chiseled teeth. It is likely that the Chiseltooths killed some large animal, making its teeth into a facetle, with two teeth just in front of them. After the chisel tooth was destroyed, this headdress was also used as a trophy to commemorate Dayi, and it was preserved in the temple. ”

Curator Xu was still talking about the significance of this discovery to the legend of Dayi and the Xia Dynasty, and Su Er and I were already absent-minded, so I pulled her aside, "Sister, you said this tooth... Could it be that it's chiseled? This is what the other party might be targeting. ”

Su Er thought for a moment, "Whether the chisel is a human or a monster, we don't know." ”

"Grandpa Su gave me a science popularization two days ago, in the tribal era, but the era of human and shemale coexistence, so it is not unusual for monsters and people to stay together. And grandpa also said that during the Yaoshun period, humans had begun to eradicate monsters, and Dayi was their number one killer. ”

"By the way, let me ask Grandpa Bai, he should be able to give us the answer. ”

After that, she took out her mobile phone and called Old Man Bai Ze, answered the phone, and Su Er asked directly: "Grandpa Bai, in the legend of Dayi's chiseled teeth, is the chisel a human or a monster?"

Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, "Ah, why did you suddenly remember to ask about something so far ago." ”

"If there is something, you can say the conclusion first, and I will tell you more about it later. ”

"Ah, Chisel Tooth, Chisel Tooth is a tribe, this tribe worships force, and is relatively savage. Of course, the main reason is that there is a monster enshrined in their tribe, this monster is also called Chisel Tooth, because it resembles a human, and its jaw is named after the giant tooth, and the bravery is abnormal. According to the records, their clan plundered everywhere and made trouble, and Tang Yao, the ruler, sent Dayi to crusade, but Dayi cut through his shield with a sword and shot him with an arrow while he fled in panic. ”

"I see, then I didn't run. ”

"What's the matter, Miss Su, find the old man and let me review my historical knowledge?"

"Grandpa Bai, do you know that a ruins have been discovered in Haicheng? ”

"Oh, I heard that, they sent me pictures of the murals so I could help interpret them. However, the legend of Dayi's chiseled teeth has a long history, and it is not surprising that the ancient tribal people left these things in remembrance. ”

"Did you know that they later found a fanged mask in the ruins, and we've had a few encounters with the occult organization lately, and each time someone has reported to us in advance. This time, at the Haicheng History Museum, I suspect they came for this mask. ”

"Fangs, fangs, fangs, wait, they didn't tell me about that. The people of the tribal era liked to hang the fangs and bones and skins on their bodies as ornaments, why, do you suspect that this pair of fangs is chiseled?"

"Well, if the chisel is human, then we think it should be a beast tooth decoration. But you said that Chisel Tooth is a demon, and the mysterious organization is also eyeing the museum, then we have reason to suspect that this pair of fangs is likely to be the remains of Chisel Tooth. ”

Old Man Bai pondered for a moment, "This is possible, because the tribal era is the era of the coexistence of human and demon, which is why Chisel Tooth will become a tribal worship." And when the monster dies in battle, the things that are stored are often used to make utensils and decorations. This kind of thing has always happened, such as the drums and skulls. ”

There is no mistake
