416. Chapter 416: Another Premeditated Plan
With my own little calculations, I decided to search through the funerary goods again to see if I could find anything. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info then smiled and said: "The situation in the secret passage is unclear, and we don't know anything about it, so don't take risks easily." ”
"Lao Qi, it was you who proposed to go down, and now that you are talking about it, you have changed your mind again. Liu 18 glared at me.
I didn't care at all, smiled indifferently, and said, "I can't say it! If I can understand the situation before I go in, the safety factor will be much higher." ”
"What do you mean, we still have to find some clues in this pile of things?" Zhou Yang said.
I nodded and said, "Since the coffin and horses of this Ehou were transported from this secret passage, perhaps we can find some information related to it in these things, such as a map of the secret passage or something." ”
"Although I am an antique dealer, I also want to get these things, but I don't see anyone destroying cultural relics, not to mention, the things here should belong to the state, if we destroy or take them away, it will be illegal!" Zhou Yang's expression suddenly became serious.
"Then let's be careful, try not to damage the things here!" Wen Jing said.
Before, when moving the coffin, Zhou Yang told us to be careful, and he himself saw that the words in the Ding were all wearing gloves, and it seemed that this person really cared about the protection of cultural relics.
However, this is the first time I have seen such a high-level antique dealer as him.
If you want to be someone else, you probably want to take it for yourself, but this kid is thinking about the country. From another point of view, this person is likely to be two extremes. The first is to pretend to be serious, try not to destroy the cultural relics, and come back to a pot in the future, because there are not many people in this world who are not greedy after all.
The second is that the real identity of this person is probably not an antique dealer, maybe he is an undercover agent.
Regardless of his status, I never intended to take anything away or destroy anything other than the possibility of something like 'Fuxi', after all, these things are national treasures, and it would be a sin to break them.
Since he won't let him move, Ge Xiaocheng can borrow it, as long as it's in his hands, I have a way to get it into my hands.
Thinking of this, I laughed: "I'm not interested in these things, and I'm not short of money! Besides, I'll be cautious about Eighteen's trust." ”
"Well, whatever it is, I'll do it alone, and everyone will check it together. Zhou Yang was obviously still not at ease.
I smiled wryly and said, "No problem." ”
But I was thinking in my heart, this kid is too serious!
As we had checked before, there were no stone tablets with epitaphs engraved here, so we focused all our attention on those artifacts that might have inscriptions.
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was mainly based on Jin scripts, and of course there were some 'incomplete evolutionary' hieroglyphs, which were already very close to Jin scripts. Jin Wen, also known as Zhong Dingwen, is often engraved on bronze artifacts, and this kind of utensils are usually mostly bells and tripods, so it gets this name.
What we saw in the largest ding before was not a complete golden inscription, it was somewhere between hieroglyphs and golden inscriptions, so I didn't know it.
It took a long time for them to gain very little, because except for the words we have seen in the largest ding, although there are a few words in the rest of the bronzes, they have no practical meaning except for the thing that explains whose thing it is. - Until Wen Jing accidentally kicked over a gui, in fact, when she turned around, her foot touched it lightly, and then the thing toppled over.
It is a utensil used by the ancients to hold food, so after it is called a burial object, it will also be filled with some things, except for millet grass, most of which are mainly pigs, sheep and beef.
In fact, we have all double-checked before, because the food contained in those things has long been moldy and dusty, and usually, the position of the inscription is at the top of the lid, and some of it is on the inner wall, so when we were looking at it, we didn't pay attention to the layer of ash at the bottom of the cover.
The head that Wen Jing knocked over was not small, it was at least thirty centimeters in diameter, and it may have been missing a leg before it was buried, so it was leaning on the other one at that time.
With a crisp sound of 'dang', Zhou Yang almost jumped up, and before he could say Wen Jing, he immediately rushed over.
He grunted as he carefully straightened it.
Suddenly, Zhou Yang said, 'Huh?', and then, seeing that he hurriedly turned the Gui over, and lightly patted the bottom a few times, and then shouted: "It's strange, there is an inscription at the bottom of this Gui!"
I was already a little discouraged, but as soon as I heard this, I immediately leaned over.
Zhou Yang put his gloved hand in and wiped it carefully for a while, and then straightened it again.
I stretched out my head to look, and sure enough, the bottom of this one was really engraved with words, at least hundred!
"It's strange, it's the first time I've seen someone engrave an inscription at the bottom, and there are so many words engraved on it. Zhou Yang muttered.
Although I don't know much about the Western Zhou Dynasty, I do know that this kind of writing on bronzes was first carved out with a knife and then cast. Because of the cumbersome process, people try to minimize the number of words when it is not necessary.
And in the one in front of him, there are hundreds of words, and even the big tripod that symbolizes status is only more than fifty words, no wonder Zhou Yang screamed!
With so much text, there must be a lot of information in it!
Perhaps, what I need is in these words!!
I forcibly suppressed the joy in my heart and hurriedly asked Zhou Yang to interpret the content.
Because except for Zhou Yang, none of the other people present knew Jin Wen, and even Hong Kaiyuan, who had the most knowledge, didn't seem to know him, so Zhou Yang couldn't help but express himself. In the following process, he explained in great detail.
This passage recounts an experience of the owner of the tomb.
The gist of it is that the owner of the tomb (that is, the Marquis of Ehou at that time) was obsessed with the art of gold and stone during his lifetime, and to put it bluntly, he was a good Taoist, and he wanted to become an immortal, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to learn the Tao and search for people who had attained the Tao.
One day, he was meditating in a retreat in the backyard when he saw a man floating in through the window.
This person has a childish face and a fairy style, and at first glance, Ehou feels that he is either an immortal or a master of Taoism. So he hurriedly knelt down and asked for advice.
The man did not refuse, saying that he was coming to enlighten the Hou of E, and instructed him to let the Hou do more good deeds and devote himself to cultivation, even if he could not attain the Tao in this life, as long as he was buried in a tower of Babel guarded by the Nine Dragons within nine days after his death, he could also get out of the body and ascend to the Tao.
After that, he also told the Marquis of Ehou the detailed location of the Tower of Babel, and told him that he could only go to that place once during his lifetime, and he must be cautious, if others found out, not only would there be no hope of ascension in this life, but also lay a curse.
The Marquis was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and stayed in the house. A few days later, the man said that the good fruit had been planted and that he was about to leave, but to no avail of his efforts to keep him, and even more so to give him gold, silver, and jewelry, and finally he could not even know the name of the man.
The man advised him that the opportunity between them was not yet over, and that he would meet again in the future.
Soon after the man left, the eager Ehou hurried to find the Tower of Babel, and finally let him find it, and everything there was exactly as the man had described.
Since then, the Marquis of Ehou has stopped asking about the world, and has devoted himself to cultivation all day long.
He was grateful for the man's preaching, so he asked the most powerful smelter at that time to help cast a mouthful, and inscribed the encounter between that man and him in the coffin, so that when he met again in the future, he could give it as a gift.
Although the man never told his name, fortunately, the Hou Hou had a heart, and in the process of learning swords, he saw that the man's sword jaw was engraved with the word 'Lu'. Therefore, he identified the noble layman's surname as Lu and respected him as 'Duke Lu'.
After Zhou Yang finished explaining, he finally added: "It seems that this mouthpiece was not sent out at that time, judging from the fact that it was missing a leg, it is likely that it is because it is missing, so it is not easy to give it away." ”
After listening to him, I immediately sighed secretly: another premeditated plan!
It seems that this Ehou is just a pawn of others!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile and said indifferently: "Perhaps, that 'Lu Gong' never came back after that! ”
