This crystal artifact, which resembles an "ashtray", should be the base of this metal mask. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

These two things were pulled out of the pile of debris one after another, one was metal and the other was crystal, so Dajun and Kuroko really didn't think much about it. What's more, when you look at this "ashtray", it's really easy to see it, causing your thinking to be stuck.

The so-called authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. There are many situations in which the authorities are "fascinated", Dajun and Kuroko, because they just think about how many kinds of things are in a cellar at the scene, and in the end, they are all these two, and they don't think about them together, and these two things really don't match.

However, Sun Zhongyuan was a bystander, and such a crystal product could not be a "Warring States ashtray"; it had two symmetrical "buttresses," more like a base! There happened to be a metal mask, the bottom could be matched and supported, and the width and size could also be matched.

After understanding this problem, Sun Zhongyuan took a detailed look at the picture of this metal mask.

A metal mask, which actually uses a crystal base, is obviously very precious.

Chen Danyang also came over to take a closer look.

This metal mask is a curved surface, which is basically semicircular when viewed from above, and flat from the front, with an oval face in the center. This oval face is a gold sheet set into a bronze base. The two large ears on both sides are bronze, after all, the gold plate is only attached to the center of an oval.

The eyes are also large and long at the same time, the mouth is a line to sign, and the nose is not small.

This face is very weird, neither the face of a normal person, nor the image of a sacred immortal Buddha, but a bit like an alien.

The most special thing is that the inner part of the eye is silver!

This makes the face even more eerie, as if with eyes, emitting a cold light.

Bronze mask, but gold and silver eyes.

"Where is the Warring States Cellar where this thing was dug up?" Sun Zhongyuan couldn't help asking.

"At the junction of Sichuan and Tibet. Heizi said, "We had just returned to Chang'an from Jingjiang, and we received the news that after we arrived at the place, our people were already working, and in the end, we found these two valuable pieces and brought them back to Chang'an." As a result, as soon as he returned to Chang'an, Master Hu said let's find you. No, we took a plane to Mengshan with a 'base', and someone drove to Nancheng with a mask, and it is estimated that they are still on the way. ”

"Cellars from the Warring States period. Sun Zhongyuan groaned, "This crystal base belongs to the Warring States, but how do I think this mask is earlier than the Warring States?"

"You have to see the real thing when you have a chance, and the two of us find it difficult to break the generation. "This mask is so weird, and just looking at the bronze craftsmanship, it seems to be more clever than any other period!"

"This is a bit like the bronze mask of Sanxingdui! but it's more complicated than that!" Sun Zhongyuan lit a cigarette, "And this gold-faced silver eye, the inlay process of this silver eye, is a bit of a Guge silver eye!"

Sanxingdui, they all know that it is known as the "ninth wonder of the world", and there have been many mysteries that have not been solved.

As early as the Republic of China, a farmer in Sichuan Province dug a ditch next to the yard and dug up a lot of high-grade jade, which unveiled a corner of Sanxingdui civilization.

The reason why it is called Sanxingdui is because of the three loess mounds on the plain. Later, a large number of artifacts were unearthed, among which was a puzzled bronze mask. These bronze masks are also a bit like aliens, and many experts can't tell the age.

At the same time, the bronzes unearthed in Sanxingdui are all sacrificial vessels, and there are no practical vessels, which adds to the mystery.

The mask in front of me has the same characteristics as the facial shape, but with the addition of gold and silver inlay.

"What is Guge Silver Eye?" Chen Danyang pondered for a while, and then couldn't help but ask again.

"The Guge Silver Eye is a unique craft of the Guge Dynasty in Tibet, where a single finger is used to make a Buddha statue and use silver to inlay the eyes of the bronze statue!" Sun Zhongyuan said, "However, more than 300 years ago, the Guge Dynasty in Tibet mysteriously disappeared. ”

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Chen Danyang thought thoughtfully.

"It's a local history that is out of the ordinary, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it. Sun Zhongyuan said, "I also have seen a little bit because of the history of the Tubo Dynasty." ”

The Guge Dynasty, whose predecessor can be traced back to the Zhangzhung Kingdom, was founded in the 9th century A.D. after the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty, which dominated Tibet, and advocated Buddhism and was good at making Buddha statues. However, as Sun Zhongyuan said, more than 300 years ago, it mysteriously disappeared.

"Sanxingdui civilization, Guge Dynasty. Chen Danyang said, "These two locations are very close, although the years are too far apart, but they are also very mysterious." ”

"Well, at least in terms of craftsmanship, this kind of face shape reminds me of the Sanxingdui bronze mask, and at the same time, this silver eye inlay reminds me of the Guge silver eye that made the Buddha statue in the Guge Dynasty. Sun Zhongyuan continued.

Chen Danyang thought for a while, "This bronze mask with a golden face and silver eyes is also made in the Warring States Period at the latest, and it may be very early. Moreover, it was found at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet. Is there such a possibility, you say?"

Sun Zhongyuan immediately reacted, "You mean to say that whether it is the Sanxingdui bronze mask in Sichuan or the silver-eyed Buddha statue of the Guge Dynasty in Tibet, perhaps, the characteristics are all derived from the place where this gold-faced silver-eyed mask was manufactured?"

"Your brain is spinning so fast! Chen Danyang clapped his hands, "Moreover, those who had the ability to make crystal bases during the Warring States Period must have a high status." What does it mean that such a person reveres this golden-faced and silver-eyed mask so much?"

"Yes, the people who live in the place where the golden face and silver eye are made, or the ethnic group, must be extraordinary! If the Sanxingdui civilization is considered a inheritance, and the later Guge Dynasty is also regarded as a inheritance, then the inheritance is not comprehensive. This race, which has not been recorded, is so mysterious that it may have existed for a short time and then disappeared! The person who can still hold the mask of gold and silver eyes must have something to do with them!"

Chen Danyang's eyes condensed, "You say, this place, could it be where the fiery earth qi is transformed into the earth qi?"

Sun Zhongyuan slapped his thigh, "The fiery earth qi makes them good at smelting metal, but after transforming into the earthy earth qi, they may not be able to adapt to the environment, resulting in the migration of the ethnic group or even the disappearance!"

"The owner of the vault where the gold-faced and silver-eyed mask is located, has obtained this mask, and has such reverence for this mask, must have had a close relationship. My grandfather said that the change of fire gas to earth gas was in southern Tibet, while the cellar was at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet. In my opinion, the southern Tibet that my grandfather said is actually the border between Sichuan and Tibet, that is, near the place where the cellar is located!"
