"What is this?"

Zhuang Rui saw a corpse emerge through the glass on the oxygen mask, but the whole body was gray and white, and the fingers were hard to touch, so it didn't look like a human body?

"Golden ...... Golden jade clothes?!"

Zhuang Rui was puzzled here, and Professor Meng let out an exclamation from his mouth, and the whole person pounced on the copper coffin, if it wasn't for the mercury level inside had dropped, he would have splashed all over his body. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hurry, speed up, this ancient corpse is protected by a golden jade robe, I'm afraid it is not decaying......"

Although he couldn't see Professor Meng's face clearly through the oxygen mask, he could hear from the words that the old professor would be very excited, so he almost stepped forward to snatch Zhuang Rui and Dr. Ren's scoops and went to clean up the mercury himself.

Mercury has an antiseptic effect, and jade also has a freshness preservation effect, and the two are combined, so it is no wonder that Professor Meng would make such an inference.

The golden-threaded jade clothes, also known as the "jade box", were funeral clothes worn by emperors and high-ranking nobles in the Han Dynasty after their deaths, and their appearance was the same as that of the human body.

The jade clothes of the emperor and some of his close ministers were knotted with gold threads, called "golden jade clothes", and other nobles used silver and copper wires to weave them, called "silver jade clothes" and "copper jade clothes".

At present, there are eighteen tombs of the Western Han Dynasty that have unearthed jade clothes in China, and there are only eight tombs of golden clothes, the most representative of which is that the No. 1 tomb of Mancheng in Hebei Province unearthed the golden jade clothes of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan.

After the research of related stones, this golden jade garment is made of more than 1,000 grams of gold wire to connect 2498 jade pieces of different sizes, which took more than two years to complete by hundreds of craftsmen.

In 1968, this golden jade garment was unearthed, which caused a sensation in the archaeological circles at home and abroad, and countless scholars at home and abroad rushed to Hebei to carry out scientific research on this rare treasure.

Now in the interval of the jade pieces that have been revealed in this coffin, you can see the thin lines with a slight golden luster with the naked eye, even if you are a novice like Zhuang Rui who has never touched the golden jade clothes, it is not difficult to judge that this is a golden jade clothes!

As the mercury in the coffin continued to be scooped out, the corpse in the golden jade robe was more presented in front of everyone, the first thing to see was his abdomen, high bulge, and now, his chest and feet were also exposed.

"There's something in the head......"

Professor Meng, who had been staring at the golden jade clothes in the coffin, suddenly shouted, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and the head of the corpse that appeared on the surface of the water flashed with golden light, and it was actually a golden mask.

Different from the golden mask that Zhuang Rui once obtained, this mask is not very large, only covering the nose of the corpse, but the mask is carved with extremely cumbersome patterns, and the whole mask is densely packed with various patterns.

Professor Meng leaned out and tried to take it, the rope tied to the jade robe behind the mask should have been decayed, and he easily took the mask off.

"National treasure, national treasure, more exquisite than the golden mask unearthed in Sanxingdui, Hubei......"

Professor Meng couldn't wait to take off his gloves and touch them directly on the mask, muttering to himself as if he couldn't put it down.

After playing for a while, Professor Meng looked at Zhuang Rui and said, "Xiao Zhuang, although this mask is not as big as the one in your museum, the workmanship is much more exquisite......

"Hehe, that is, the craftsmanship of our ancestors, of course, is stronger than that of foreign devils......"

Zhuang Rui smiled, but after saying this, he suddenly felt a little awkward in his heart, isn't what he is doing now just disturbing the old ancestor?

"Dude is in archaeology, after the province was dug up by tomb thieves ......"

Zhuang Rui found a reason in his heart, in fact, national archaeology, to put it bluntly, is also an official thief, the only difference with tomb robbers is that one is used for private profit, and the other is open to the public.

"Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Ren, take out all this mercury immediately, and ask them to prepare tools, to transport this golden jade robe to the laboratory in Henan Province, for fear of problems after a long time, call the local helicopter ......"

After seeing the golden jade clothes and golden masks unearthed, Professor Meng immediately made a decision.

To be honest, the opening of the coffin this time was a bit too hasty, but because of the constraints, it was impossible for such a large volume and weight of the copper coffin to be transported out of the tomb completely.

As soon as Professor Meng's words came out, everyone became busy, at this moment, it is the most important thing to protect the golden jade clothes and the corpses inside, and what other unearthed cultural relics are in the coffin, they are all put aside now, anyway, the things are in it, and they will not run away with their own long legs.

After more than half an hour, a helicopter stopped at the top of the mountain and carried the people out of the mountain with the corpses inside a bag of ice cubes.

At this time, the mercury poison gas in the tomb was basically dispersed under the action of the blower, and everyone went down to the tomb again and began to count the objects in the copper coffin.

You must know that it has been more than 10 days since the beginning of the survey to the excavation, and the identity of the owner of the tomb has not even been clarified, which also makes many experts and scholars, including Professor Meng, feel a little ugly.

Although there are many nameless tombs unearthed in China, but those are because of the war disaster and thieves, the objects that prove the identity of the tomb are swept away, but this tomb is very well preserved, if the identity of the owner of the tomb cannot be verified, it is definitely a thing that makes peers laugh.

Originally, there was a layer of mercury in the copper coffin that had not been scooped out, but the mercury more than 2,000 years ago was quickly lost and volatilized after seeing the air, and a thick layer of funerary goods was revealed in the coffin.

"This is the jade grasp, right?"

Zhuang Rui wore gloves and found a pair of jade objects that were dark and olive-shaped, with a circle in the middle and pointed ends and some lines on them.

"This should be a jade pig...... Zhuang Rui looked at it for a long time and recognized the shape of this artifact, with a single line carved on the long cylinder, a typical Han Badao technique.

The ancients believed that they could not go away empty-handed when they died, but to hold wealth and power, and the pig represented wealth, so the jade grip of the Han Dynasty was basically the shape of the jade pig.

Professor Meng took the jade handed over by Zhuang Rui, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's the jade grip, but there will definitely be no jade plug here, and that thing is designated in the golden jade clothes......

As the clean-up progressed, artifacts were removed from the coffin, including gold and silver products, small animal terracotta figurines representing auspicious meanings, and most of all, jade.

Jade Huang, jade pendant, jade people, all kinds of jade, on the white cloth on the ground is full of place, due to the protection of mercury, these jade are like new jade, there is no trace of unearthed.

And the most surprising object is a sheathed bronze short sword, the short sword is no more than two fingers long, but extremely sharp, Zhuang Rui tried it, and it was easy to cut through the dozens of layers of white cloth.

According to his words, the unearthed bronze will undergo a qualitative change when it sees oxygen, and it should be wrapped in the soil in the tomb and then processed when it is taken to the laboratory.

Zhuang Rui didn't know if Professor Meng's statement had a scientific basis, but when he found the Dingguang Sword, it seemed to be covered with patina and dirt.

"Be careful, it's pottery ......"

"Wow, this piece of jade is the best mutton fat jade......"

The excavation of one piece of artifact made exclamations be heard from time to time around, and there was even a set of sixteen colored terracotta figurines with only the size of a thumb.

The figures depicted by these terracotta figurines are supposed to be the imperial chefs of the emperor, some cutting meat and cooking, some washing rice and steaming rice, and a pottery well, and there are pottery people doing the action of fetching water by the well.

Although these terracotta figurines are very small, their facial expressions are vividly depicted, almost like a shrunken real person.

Originally, there were still some brocade quilts in the coffin, but when the mercury was scooped out, those brocade quilts were materialized and stuck in the coffin, and it was difficult to clean up a lump.

"What's the matter?

The cleaning of the coffin was almost over, but the jade seal or seal that everyone was looking forward to did not appear, and Professor Meng, who had always been very calm, was also a little anxious at the moment.

"No, could it be that the owner of the tomb deliberately did not let others know his identity?"

"It's impossible, the burial is done by future generations, and the seal they carry will definitely be put in the tomb......"

"Then why not? Let's look for it again......

Not only Professor Meng was a little anxious, but the rest of the people were not very calm, if the identity of the owner could not be found in this coffin, then there would be no objects to prove the identity of the owner in the rest of the ear chambers and side chambers.

Zhuang Rui released the aura in his eyes when everyone was talking, and re-examined the coffin, and when he saw the upper right side of the bronze coffin, his eyes couldn't help but stop.

There was a large piece of brocade decay, but in the middle, Zhuang Rui sensed a very strong aura, although the volume of the object inside was only the size of a baby's fist, but the purple aura was abundant in it.

"Teacher, I found this thing, it should be a jade seal, right?"

Zhuang Rui stretched out his hand and took the remnants of the brocade in his hand, and after peeling off the rotten brocade outside, a lump of jade suddenly appeared in his hand.

The jade is square, the top is carved with a dragon, the scales on the body are clear, the dragon head contains a dragon ball, the shape is very majestic, and below is a square seal.

Zhuang Rui turned it over and looked at it, there seemed to be a lot of words on it, but he only recognized one seal.

Recognizing the word "seal" is actually enough, at least it means that this is the emperor's tomb, because the ancient seal was clearly hierarchical, and after the Qin Dynasty, there was a difference between the seal and the seal, and the seal used by the emperor was called the seal, and the subjects could only call it the seal.

According to the records of the Han Dynasty, the emperor had six seals: the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Letter Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, and the Son of Heaven's Letter Seal. The six seals are all used for different purposes, and they are in charge of Fu Jie Lingcheng.

However, the jade seal of the country is not among the six seals, this jade seal is used to represent orthodoxy, and the so-called "true son of heaven" must have this jade seal, otherwise it can only be the king of grass chickens and not the true dragon son of heaven.

The so-called heirloom jade seal, refers to the history of the great name and the bi, since Qin Po Zhao got the and the bi, Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si in the and the bi, the seal book "ordered in the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight characters, Xianyang jade Wang Sun Shou will be the bi of the and the family of the fine grinding, carved for the seal, the jade seal of the country is completed.

The jade seal of the country was changed by the four generations of the Eastern and Western Han, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, and was finally included in the palace of the Sui Dynasty by Yang Jian, but after the death of the Sui Dynasty, Empress Xiao and the emperor Sun Zhengdao escaped into the Mobei Turks.

Later, Li Jing crusaded against the Turks, Empress Xiao returned to the Central Plains, and dedicated the jade seal to Li Shimin, but at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes were everywhere.

"Jade Seal?!"

Zhuang Rui's words attracted everyone's attention to him, and more than a dozen hands stretched out to Zhuang Rui at the same time, frightening Zhuang Rui to retreat again and again, if this thing is broken, who is responsible?

"Bring it to me......"

Professor Meng also lost his composure at this moment, and after taking the jade seal in Zhuang Rui's hand, he didn't care if there were any harmful substances on it, so he directly took off his gloves and printed them on the back of his hand.

Professor Meng was recognizing the seal characters on the back of his hand, and suddenly his face showed an incredible expression, and he stammered: "Liu ...... Liu Xiu's Emperor Treasure Seal?!"

"Liu Xiu, isn't Liu Xiu's tomb already judged?"

"Yes, how is this possible? Liu Xiu's tomb is dozens of miles away......

"Professor Meng, you can't be mistaken, right?"

As soon as Professor Meng's words came out, the tomb suddenly exploded, for thousands of years, Liu Xiu's tomb has long been recognized as being on the bank of the Yellow River, and a garden has been built, how can there be another Liu Xiu's tomb here?

"It's true, Lao Li, Lao Song, you take a look at these words, it can't be fake......"

Professor Meng also couldn't believe his eyes, but the words on the back of his hand that gradually became blurred did confirm that this was Liu Xiu's imperial jade seal.

After Professor Meng handed the jade seal to a few of his peers, he muttered to himself, "Could it be that the legend is true?"

"Teacher, what legend?"

Zhuang Rui has a good ear, and after hearing Professor Meng's words, he asked.

"Legend has it that Liu Xiu's son is a very rebellious person, Liu Xiu asked him to go east, he must go west, let him chase the dog will definitely chase the chicken.

Legend has it that when Liu Xiu was dying, he asked his son to bury him on the bank of the Yellow River, in fact, he wanted this disobedient son to bury himself in Bishan, and now it seems that this rumor is somewhat true......"

The truth of history can no longer be investigated, and Professor Meng can only use these wild historical rumors to explain the unearthing of Liu Xiuyuxi.
