Chapter 457: Exploring the Tomb at the Bottom of the River
Yu Yao heard He Wenguang say this, and after he put it down, he also got started. Although it is not as exaggerated as He Wenguang said, according to the visual inspection of the bronze material, the feel is indeed light.
Compared with the heavy feel of "Soul Extermination", this sword has one more doubt.
When Yu Yao looked at it further, He Wenguang opened the toolkit and took out a close-eye identification magnifying glass.
After Yu Yao finished reading it, he immediately watched it again.
Zheng Wenzhi thought that he was far inferior to He Wenguang in terms of bronze ancient swords, and he had seen it at another scene before the thing was sent, so he didn't look at it again, waiting for these two masters to express their opinions.
Zheng Wenzhi is a big smoking gun, and when he saw Yu Yao finish reading it, he handed over a cigarette, but he didn't ask, for fear of disturbing He Wenguang.
He Wenguang looked at it for more than ten minutes before taking off the magnifying glass, and then looked at Yu Yao, "I see, this is not the Spring and Autumn Ancient Sword." ”
Yu Yao nodded, "It should be the same period as the sword box." ”
Zheng Wenzhi's cigarette ash fell from his hand, "What?
He Wenguang then explained, he said that the speed of speech was relatively fast, and it involved a lot of professional vocabulary, fortunately, Zheng Wenzhi was not a mediocre hand, and he basically understood it.
After He Wenguang finished speaking, he asked Yu Yao to add.
In fact, the reason why Yu Yao is faster than He Wenguang is not only because of his eyesight, but also because he has seen "Soul Destroying", although the shape is different, but the copper used in the Eight Swords of King Yue should be the same, so Yu Yao has an additional basis for identification.
However, Yu Yao still didn't say that he had seen "Soul Extermination" in the end, although he and Qi Changhe were not close friends, but people only let you see it, and it was not good to say it without consent.
Moreover, it has now been identified, and whether or not to say it does not affect the result.
"I'm similar to He's appraisal points. However, this is all inferred from some characteristics of the Spring and Autumn bronzes and the Eastern Jin Dynasty bronzes, but none of us have ever seen the real 'startling salamander', and we don't know if the shape is the same. ”
Zheng Wenzhi took a puff of cigarette, "If you can imitate the 'startling salamander', there should be a genuine reference, right?"
He Wenguang knocked his forehead, "This just shows that there is a great possibility that there are tombs of princes and princes of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the bottom of the river." If the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a real 'startling salamander', it is possible for the princes to imitate it. The real 'startled salamander' has been lost in the long course of history, but this replica has just been discovered because it has been preserved in an underwater tomb. ”
Yu Yao agreed with He Wenguang's inference, "Moreover, if it is an underwater tomb, the tomb is designated as a 'startling salamander', which can be protected from the invasion of the water tribe." Although it is an imitation, the purpose should be this. ”
"If this is the case, the Eastern Jin Dynasty mausoleum under the water is likely to have been destroyed! Otherwise, how could the 'startling salamander' of Dingling Tomb sink into the silt at the bottom of the river?"
He Wenguang's face was solemn, "This is what I'm most worried about at the moment, I just hope that the tomb robbers are not good at their hands and feet, and there is something left, it's not just an empty tomb!"
Before the words fell, Zheng Wenzhi's phone rang.
"What, the diving instrument has been discovered?"
Zheng Wenzhi talked to the other party for more than ten minutes and asked in detail.
"Because we are about to carry out all-round detection, we will first get off the diving instrument today, and the range will start from the north bank of the river, intercept 100 meters first, and gradually move to the south bank of the river. Unexpectedly, it happened to be in this area on the north bank of the river, there was a major discovery!"
Zheng Wenzhi said as he spread out a blank piece of paper on the table, picked up a pen and drew it.
On the north bank of the river, there is a hill more than 500 meters high, and the bottom is the depth of the mountain, where the water depth is about 19 meters, and there is no need for dredging; however, the south bank is flat, and the depth of the river is less than 10 meters, so it needs to be dredged.
After the dredging of the south bank, a small part of the silt under the mountain on the north bank also fell due to the influence of water flow and other factors.
According to the images taken by the diving instrument, at the bottom of the mountain, a structure similar to a "door frame" was exposed, as if there were traces of artificiality.
At the same time, on both sides of the "door frame", a similar circular structure is also exposed, which is connected to the underwater mountain, as if carved out of high relief.
He Wenguang has extremely rich archaeological experience, and after listening to Zheng Wenzhi's introduction, he immediately said, "Underwater mausoleums, common along the river to dig mountains as mausoleums, the entrance is underwater, but there will be an oblique road, the real tomb, in the mountain, above the water level!"
"I'll immediately arrange manpower to work underwater to further clean up the mud here!" Zheng Wenzhi said and walked towards the door, stopped and turned his head when he walked to the door, and said to Yu Yao, "Don't go!
"Yes, yes, yes!" He Wenguang pulled Yu Yao's arm, "Since you're here, wait for the result first." ”
Yu Yao remembered the experience of diving in Hainan, coupled with the unique attraction of Tanling, "I said, can I go down and have a look then?"
"I'll do my best to arrange!" Zheng Wenzhi finished speaking, and went out.
Yu Yao stayed here that day, and Shen Ge asked him in the evening, but fortunately, Shen Ge knew that he was a special expert of the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau, and Yu Yao told her that there was a temporary mission.
Early the next morning, Yu Yao followed Zheng Wenzhi and He Wenguang to the riverside, got on a dredging boat, and came to the mountain on the north bank of the river.
Zheng Wenzhi really arranged it, but he himself had to stay on the boat to command, Yu Yao and He Wenguang, and went into the water with the two professional "divers" of the Special Investigation Bureau.
It was actually very difficult to dive so deep for the first time, but with the advanced diving equipment, the dive was barely smooth.
At this time, the bottom of the mountain has been cleared out, and the entrance is indeed exposed.
Moreover, on the mountain stone walls on both sides of the entrance, there are two rows of divine beasts carved in high relief! The two outcrops are only because they are closest to the tomb gate and have the highest height.
Yu Yao took a cursory look, there were foxy, evil spirits, unicorns, and so on. The heart of the road, such a specification, can indeed be called a "mausoleum", the burial inside, either the emperor or the king, the level is indeed very high!
This entrance originally had two stone gates about two meters high and one and a half meters wide, and what Yu Yao saw was that it was already open.
Before entering the water, Yu Yao had already received the message feedback.
This indicates that someone had already entered before the mud that sealed the entrance was removed. Moreover, the time to enter should not be short, at least a few decades, otherwise the silt would not accumulate again and seal the entrance.
Yu Yao swam into the stone gate, and sure enough, there were diagonal steps inside.
With the help of steps, and going upstream, it's much faster. After Yu Yao's head was above the water, there were several steps, and at the end of the steps, there was an open stone chamber.
The four of them entered the stone chamber and turned on the emergency lights. This stone chamber is about five meters square and about three meters high, and it is very neatly hewn, and there is also a stone door on the innermost side of the wide entrance. The stone gate is different from the underwater, there is only one, and it is also open.
In front of the stone gate, there is also a stone stele, and there is a stone carving under it (sound bi xi, one of the nine sons of the dragon, good load, often carry the stele).
