Chapter 369: True Purpose

With modern technology, not to mention the traces covered by rust spots, even after wet water, the paper roll that is completely bonded can be analyzed and restored successfully.

So everyone's eyes fell directly on Zhou Wei.

He also smiled and nodded, "That's right, scanned." That's why I said, it's the key pattern. In other words, it is this clue that makes us a little sure that Zhending may be nearby. ”

"What's this clue?"

"Don't sell it, say it quickly. ”

Under the urging of everyone, Zhou Wei's heart was satisfied.

"Birds. ”

At that moment, he did not hesitate and immediately said: "On the short sword, a bird, a sunbird, and a bird totem are engraved. ”

Belch?

For a moment, several people were stunned, and then relieved.

Because they know that in the east of the mountain, the land of Qilu is this place.

In ancient times, or in the Xia and Shang periods, it was the origin of Dongyi culture.

In Dongyi culture, most of them are based on bird totems. It's just that later, the Dongyi culture and the Central Plains culture merged and spread all over the world, and they were no longer separated from each other.

Although it is said that the bird pattern was found on the short sword, it seems a bit far-fetched to say that this has something to do with Qingzhou Ding.

But...... That's the clue indeed.

Because the texture on many bronze objects is never just decoration. To a large extent, the existence of bronze inscriptions represents the identity and origin of the user.

Mainly in the pre-Qin period, metal smelting technology was not developed.

The bronze metal material that can be synthesized is an extremely precious resource, and only nobles are qualified to use it.

In this case, of course, some ornaments must be engraved to prove the ownership.

Bird pattern, linked to Dongyi.

But the legend that is older than Dongyi is Qingzhou.

According to ancient books, Yuding Kyushu.

Among them, there is Qingzhou, with the town of Dongyi.

In addition, in the vicinity of Shiding, bronze short swords were found, as well as various stone tools.

This also shows that in the distant past, in this place, there must have been tribal forces.

"Any more clues?"

Huang Jinbao pondered for a moment, and looked at Zhou Wei again, suspecting that the other party was hiding his secrets.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Zhou Wei's eyes widened: "These things, aren't they enough?"

"What?"

Huang Jinbao said angrily: "These garbage, also worthy of being called clues? In addition to Ding, there is also this broken sword, the clues are too lonely, and they can't form a line at all......"

"It's all here, if you have anything else, just take it out." ”

Huang Jinbao said seriously: "Let's help you analyze it, everyone brainstorms to get a harvest." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Zhou Wei groaned, and then beckoned.

Several secretaries behind him were staggered.

One of them came up with a small suitcase.

"Open it and let them see. ”

Zhou Wei commanded, and in his tone, there seemed to be a bit of reluctance and a bit of showing off.

Click......

As soon as the box opened, pieces of light suddenly refracted and shone.

"It's ......"

Several people were stunned and hurriedly squinted.

I saw that in the box, there were six pieces of jade with strange shapes.

At first glance, Xiao Jingxing was immediately a little moved, and said in a deep voice: "Six jade ritual vessels." ”

"Haha, it's still Xiao Gongzi who has insight. ”

Zhou Wei smiled: "That's right, these jades should be a set of ritual weapons." ”

"Wow......"

In an instant, Huang Jinbao pounced, stared at the box, and looked suspicious: "Really?"

No wonder he marveled.

Mainly, jade ritual vessels, a single one, are not unusual.

But the ones that appear in sets are very rare.

The so-called six jade ritual vessels refer to jade huang, jade cong, jade bi, jade gui, jade zhang, jade amber and other things.

Each ritual vessel has a different form and a meaning.

On the weekly ceremony, the record is clear. The jade is used as the six instruments to honor the four directions of heaven and earth, and the sky is honored by the cangbi, the land of Huangcong, the east of Qinggui, the south of Chizhang, the west of Baihu, and the north of Xuanhuang.

It can be said that the existence of the six jade rituals already belongs to the code system of the feudal dynasty.

Only the emperor, or from the perspective of the state, is qualified to use the six instruments and worship the gods of heaven and earth.

In addition, don't say that ordinary people, even high-ranking officials and elites, are not qualified to covet them.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you sure that these six ritual vessels were also dug up nearby?"

Huang Jinbao's eyes were full of charm.

"Nonsense. ”

Zhou Wei looked arrogant, and finally confided in his heart: "It was only when we found the stone tripod and these six jade ritual vessels that we concluded that there are no real tripods around here, even if there is no real tripod, there must be other things." ”

"You know, whether it's Shiding or Liuqi, it's all ...... A symbol of the dynasty. ”

Zhou Wei said softly: "And the name of this city...... Dragon's mouth. ”

"Taken together, we think that perhaps many years ago, someone had a ritual here. Not only did they bury the stone tripod and the six jade ritual vessels, but they also hid other things. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Others were silent, pondering.

"Not necessarily. ”

Zhang Chu thought about it and decided to pour a basin of cold water: "Maybe, people only buried the tripod and jade, and there may not be other things." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Zhang Chu, you are naΓ―ve. ”

Huang Jinbao smiled and said, "Do you really think that this is the formal sacrifice of the ancient imperial court?"

"Huh, isn't it?"

Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, thoughtfully: "Yes, yes, yes...... Perhaps, not really. After all, with the resources and technology of the imperial court, it is impossible not to cast a metal tripod. ”

"But this tripod is made of stone, and the place of sacrifice is so ......."

Zhang Chu somewhat understood: "Does this mean that those who engage in this sacrifice may not be a serious force." ”

To put it technically, it's called obscenity.

In ancient times, sacrifices that were not orthodox dynasties were all called obscenities and needed to be destroyed.

Therefore, the people who carried out this sacrificial activity may be......

Rebels?

The King of Grass?

Princes in troubled times?

Do not doubt that since ancient times, there have been frequent rebellions in the east of the mountains and the north of the rivers. No matter how the court kills, it will be inexhaustible. Like a leek, it cuts a stubble and grows another stubble.

All in all, all kinds of possibilities are circling in the minds of everyone.

"That's why you think there's something like gold, silver, and jewelry buried nearby?"

After a while, Huang Jinbao sneered: "Looking for something really is just an excuse." Tsk, that's ...... It's really not authentic. Are you so sure that the gold, silver and jewelry you have dug up are worth more than 100 million?"

"Ahem!"

Zhou Wei's eyes dodged, and he said unnaturally: "Zhending...... Definitely looking for it too. After all, these stone tripods and ritual utensils may also be the relics left behind by Qin Shi Huang when he came to the East China Sea to look for immortal mountains and look for the real dings?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A few people were stunned again.

Isn't this possibility too?

Sounds ...... though.

Is this a possibility?

Huang Jinbao's face changed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to pick up a ritual weapon and carefully observed and studied it......

"It seems to be really the style of the Qin Dynasty!"
