Chapter 169: Bamboo slips are still tripods

The place where Luo Fan walked should be between the peaks of the mountains, and the top of their heads was very high, and from time to time the sun would fall, and the dappled light and shadow would fall on their bodies, which would make their mood continue to improve.

The further you go, the narrower the gap becomes, the temperature gets cooler and lower, and by the end, everyone's breath is thick with a white mist.

After everyone drilled out along the cracks in the stone of the sky, they finally saw the outside world.

Snow-capped, mountains and mountains, clouds and mist under your feet, as if in a different world.

More than a dozen people stood halfway up a tall mountain, unable to reach the world or the ground.

"Grandma's, what kind of place is this?" Hao Wenjie frowned and scolded.

Wu Yongqiang and the others immediately took out a compass, showing that the back was south, facing the north, and the direction they wanted to go back was the west, that is, the right-hand side, but there were cliffs all around, how to go down?

Overhead is a steeper mountain.

They stood on the only protruding rock halfway up the mountain.

Luo Fan pondered for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, the place we are now should be the Valley of the Dead!"

Originally, seeing the light of day again made them very excited all the way, but from the moment they came out, the joy was washed away by the reality in front of them, and there was not even scum left.

"Alas!" Fat Dahai sighed, thinking that he was brave first, and he became even more arrogant after he came out, but he didn't expect his efforts to be in vain.

Jolene sighed at her hands, the temperature was too low, it might as well be warm inside!

Luo Fan glanced at it, but didn't say anything, thinking carefully about what to do.

If it was him, even if it was high, he would have been able to descend the mountain unscathed.

But now there is still an older person in the team, Professor Ma, all of them go down, and the others may be okay, so it is difficult for Professor Ma to say.

Professor Ma also knew that he had become a laggard, a little worried and a little annoyed, and he really missed the time when he was young.

At that time, with Jiang Ziwu, they waded through swamps and cliffs, what are the snow-capped mountains?

But now, I can't help but feel a little sorry for my age.

Fat Dahai walked to the side of the platform dejectedly, picked up a few pieces of gravel and threw them down to play.

As soon as I threw two of them, I heard a faint voice, "Help...... Fate ......" startled him.

He shook his head, looked down, and saw that Kui Ge, who should have fled long ago, had shrunk into a ball and nested on a rock a little below the platform.

Fat Dahai was happy, took the stone and threw it over, "Sun cub, you are running! Why don't you run?"

As he spoke, he took the stone and threw it at him.

Brother Kui moved, it seemed that he was frozen, and his neck just moved a little and then didn't move again, "Help...... I ......"

"I'm idle, save you, why don't you go to heaven?" Fat Dahai was originally a little discouraged, but now he can find something to have fun.

He simply sat down, and there was a lot of rubble coming out of the hole next to him, and he threw it down, and his mouth kept talking.

"Take what you can, isn't it too much of a bad thing?"

"Kind enough to save you, are you still running? I ask you, what is your weak heart? Are you not telling the truth?"

Brother Kui was already frozen and stiff at this time, and he didn't have Luo Fan, they still had a fire to dry their clothes, and they didn't have a hot soup to warm up.

After coming out of the water all the way, he found the right direction and ran, but he didn't expect that it would be such a world after he came out, it was like heaven and earth would kill him!

Although the temperature is low, the body is very cold, and the stomach is also very hungry, but Kuizi relies on his good skills, he wants to go down to the bottom of the valley as soon as possible, as long as he goes down, how can he survive and get out.

But he underestimated the cold here too much, so he came out to prepare, and the damp clothes on his body were already frozen.

He had just descended to this place when a gust of wind blew and almost threw him headlong, so he quickly crouched down, wanting to rest for a while before continuing.

Unexpectedly, he was directly frozen, and in a trance he heard someone talking, and finally took advantage of the Qingming in Mingtai to shout "Help!"

Wu Yongqiang took the satellite phone and dialed the outside world directly.

Luo Fan almost forgot that there was this, and when he saw that he was in contact with the outside, he was not in a hurry, so he wanted everyone to go back again, it was better than waiting here, but at a glance, he saw the fat sea sitting on the edge and throwing stones down, having a lot of fun.

"Fat Dahai!" he shouted, seeing that he was too dangerous, and just wanted him to come back, but Fat Dahai turned to a smiling bright face.

"Mr. Luo, guess who is down there?" the fat sea laughed and quacked.

His voice attracted everyone's attention, and the place was not big, so Luo Fan and Hao Wenjie walked over.

"Who is this?" Hao Wenjie immediately smiled after seeing the people below.

Luo Fan stretched out his head to take a look and pulled the fat sea up, "You get up, you are not afraid of falling down when you sit here." ”

"It's okay!" said Fat Dahai indifferently, "I'll tease this grandson!"

Seeing Brother Kui, since he is not dead, Hao Wenjie and they can't ignore it, it's best to take it back and carefully interrogate about Liuzhang and Lao Jiu, by the way, there is also the Huo family!

Wu Yongqiang tied a soldier with a rope and put it down, and a group of people behind him helped pull it, and after a while, he got the person up.

"Let's go back inside first! I'm going to freeze to death while waiting here, and it says helicopter will be sent to pick us up!" Wu Yongqiang said.

As soon as everyone thought about it, they stacked their backpacks on the platform and left a sign for the helicopter, and everyone returned to the mountain from a crack in the sky.

Inside, the cold temperature was instantly blocked out.

He found a pile of branches and lit a fire, and the people sat not far from the exit and waited.

Brother Kui lay next to the fire, slowly recovering, but his face was pale with an abnormal flush, which is the normal fever reaction of a person who has been frozen.

But now there is no way, and there is no medicine, so I can only wait for him to recover.

took a small pot and boiled some hot water, fed Brother Kui a little, and finally pulled the person back from the ghost gate, and lay there to burn and talk nonsense.

"I'm sorry...... Huo Ye, I'm useless...... I'm sorry, Huo Ye...... I didn't get ......," Kuiko muttered.

Luo Fan's heart moved when he heard this, and he was really still from the Huo family.

He leaned over and whispered in Brother Kui's ear, "Huo Ye didn't blame you, what did he let you take?"

"Huo Ye...... Something, I don't know...... It's a bamboo slip...... Or, that Ding...... Sorry ......"

Brother Kui said a fragmented sentence, but Luo Fan guessed a rough idea.

This Brother Kui should have been sent by the Huo family, yes, he wanted to take something in the tomb, but in the end he didn't get it, and he also talked about bamboo slips and tripods!

Luo Fan raised his body and looked at Professor Ma, "Professor Ma, can you show me the bamboo slips he handed over before?"

Professor Ma was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded and motioned for Assistant Li to take out the things.

Assistant Li carefully took out a waterproof bag from his backpack, which contained two bamboo slips, and handed them to Luo Fan.

"The text above is still being studied, it looks a bit like the text of the transition from oracle bone to gold, and there is also the prototype of a small seal!" Assistant Li explained.

The meaning is obvious, that is, they don't know what is written on it, even if Luo Fan doesn't know it, it's not surprising.

Luo Fan nodded, took out the bamboo slip and opened it to look at it, sure enough, he couldn't understand it, but it didn't affect the age when he looked at the bamboo slip.

He carefully looked at the bamboo slips and the degree of wear, the color, and the rope worn in them.

"Before the Shang Dynasty, or at the same time!" Luo Fan said at the end, "but it is a little different from the bamboo slips of our Chinese Shang Dynasty!"

"Oh?" Professor Ma immediately came to his senses when he heard this, and walked over and sat next to Luo Fan, "What's the difference?"

Professor Ma didn't have time to take a closer look, because it was underground before, and the light was not suitable for research.

"Look here!" Luo Fan gestured to Professor Ma for the connecting part of the bamboo slip.

The early Chinese characters were engraved on the oracle bones and bells, due to the limitations of their materials, it was difficult to spread widely, so until the Yin Shang period, there were only more than 100 people in the upper class who mastered the text, which greatly idle the spread of culture and ideas, all of which was changed until the appearance of bamboo slips.

There is still a big difference between the production process of bamboo slips in modern times and ancient times.

In modern times, it is cutting, boiling, baking, cutting bamboo, scraping, writing, drilling, and weaving.

In ancient times, it was cutting, cutting, baking (finishing), writing, drilling, and weaving.

Bamboo slips are mostly made of bamboo pieces, each piece is written one line, and all the bamboo pieces of an article are knitted together, which is called "bamboo slips". It is the earliest form of book in ancient China, and the wood chips used to write words became wooden tablets, which were mostly used to write short texts.

Luo Fan pointed to Professor Ma exactly what was braided with bamboo chips.

Most of the early bamboo slips found in Huaguo so far are not very well preserved, and when they were excavated, the best ones were almost half rotten.

And what they took out this time was extremely well preserved.

Among them, the knitting is not the hemp rope, cowhide strip or silk thread that we knew earlier, but a kind of unknown thing, which looks translucent, with a yellow-brown color left over from the long history, and the toughness is very great, even if the end of the tail is pulled now, you can feel the strong elastic force.

"I haven't seen it!" Professor Ma shook his head and beckoned behind him, "Xiao Li, come and record this!"

Assistant Li hurried over, and Jiang Weichen and Yuan Lang also came over and studied together.

Luo Fan handed them the bamboo slips, "I feel like an animal's tendon!"

"It's possible, it's very likely!" Professor Ma nodded repeatedly, "This is the first time I've discovered it!

Originally, Luo Fan wanted to take the bamboo slips to see if he could see any clues, but he was interrupted by Professor Ma's professionalism, so he had to give them the place and move it to the side a little by himself.

After Jiang Weichen looked at it for a while, he finally looked up at Luo Fan, "Luo Fan, you want to see this bamboo slip, isn't it because of this?"

When Jiang Weichen said this, he reminded Professor Ma, and he immediately put down the bamboo slip and looked at Luo Fan.

Luo Fan smiled, "I just want to see what the Huo family wants to take away?" After he finished speaking, he raised his chin to Kuizi's side again, "He just said nonsense, saying what is sorry Huo Ye, I didn't get anything, I have been guessing." ”

"Oh, you're going to come here to get something, how do they know what's in it?" Hao Wenjie suddenly got to the point.

Luo Fan shrugged his shoulders, "Where do I know, he will say what bamboo slips, what Ding, specific, I have to hand it over to you to go out for interrogation!"

"Ding?" everyone looked at the others with some suspicion, and Professor Ma was even more puzzled, "Which Ding?" We've seen several along the way, and there are even eight on the altar. ”

Luo Fan thought for a moment, "I think that if what he said is true, if what he is looking for is a ding, it should be the last one we see." ”

"Emperor Xuanyuan Ding?" Professor Ma was startled and glanced at Kuizi, whose face was burning red, "Who is that Huo family you are talking about?"

Luo Fan didn't need to tell them so much, he had only heard of the Huo family, and he had never dealt with it, and just as he wanted to say something more, a "rumbling" sound suddenly came from above his head.

Wu Yongqiang stood up suddenly, "The helicopter has arrived, I'll go out and have a look! Everyone get ready, let's go home!"
