Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Stone of Resentment

"Is there an ancient tomb down here?"

Li Yang immediately thought of this possibility, and glanced back at the ancient tomb he was currently in, this ancient tomb also had stone walls, but they were all made of rough gray stone, and they were very small, completely different from the blue bricks that appeared underground, otherwise they would not have been completely excavated so quickly.

Old Zhao was still looking down to study the small stone in his hand, and Li Yang's face showed a hint of hesitation.

If there is really an ancient tomb below, it must be much stronger than the current one, and it is definitely not bad to remember the tomb covered by a fake tomb. There are a lot of ancient funerary goods, unearthed are antiques, Li Yang dug up a jade snuff bottle last time to earn a school for their family, such a mysterious tomb does not know how many things can bring them.

"Forget it!"

Although Li Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, the unearthed cultural relics cannot be sold at will, otherwise it will be a big crime.

Last time, if the jade snuff box had not been wrapped in oil paper in an iron box, I am afraid it would not have been sold smoothly, and the good preservation made the jade snuff bottle not have a trace of coming out of the ground, but the jade snuff bottle is indeed not a tomb item.

Right now, this is a real ancient tomb, no matter what is inside, as long as experts can see that it is a tomb at a glance, and the money will not be earned by the public security bureau at that time.

What's more, Li Yang is not short of money now, his brother was injured while protecting cultural relics, Li Yang and Li Cheng's surnames have always been very similar, what Li Cheng can do, Li Yang can also do.

Li Yang made a decision in a short time, and after making the decision, Li Yang's mood was very calm, and it was unknown whether he could give up or not, and few people could resist this temptation in the face of an unknown treasure.

"Isn't this just an ordinary stone, Grandpa Zhao, can there be any mystery in this?"

Wu Xiaoli looked at the stone for several minutes, and couldn't help but ask, and the others, including Deng Ming, the director of the Licheng Cultural Relics Bureau, had already wanted to ask, but they were not embarrassed to speak, Wu Xiaoli's question happened to follow their wishes.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at Zhao Lao's body, Li Yang had already seen everything, and stood behind with a smile.

Zhao Lao shook his head: "This is not an ordinary stone, this is a resentment stone, but this resentment stone is too small, and the resentment stone has not appeared for a long, long time, so I can't make up my mind at first!" ”

"Grandpa Zhao, what is the Resentment Stone?" Wu Xiaoli asked with wide eyes, this was the first time she had heard of the name of this resentment stone.

"The Stone of Grievances is also called the Stone of Grievances, the original meaning is to dissolve grievances, so that the soul can continue to do what was done in life after death as when it was alive!"

Zhao Lao shook his head again, stood up and looked carefully around the ancient tomb, and from time to time grabbed a handful of soil and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

"Resentment Stone, I remember, I seem to have seen a description in a book, if I remember correctly, it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!"

Deng Ming said suddenly, more than a dozen people stayed there, looking at Zhao Lao in surprise, the Resentment Stone is something from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, doesn't that mean that this ancient tomb is an ancient tomb of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? The gap with the middle of Qianlong that they had inferred before was too big.

"Yes, the resentment stone is a product of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but this resentment stone is not from that period, and the ancient tomb is also from the middle of the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhao Lao nodded and said, he seemed to understand everyone's thoughts, so he explained it to everyone.

Zhao Lao's words made everyone's hearts relax just now, if it was really a complete ancient tomb of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that was destroyed like this, they would regret hitting the wall.

"Speaking of this resentment stone, we have to mention the burial, the Shang and Zhou dynasties began to have the bad habit of burying the living, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the princes and ministers and aristocratic slave owners almost all brought the living people to be buried after death!"

Zhao Lao said slowly, everyone's attention was focused on Zhao Lao, and Li Yang was no exception.

"When the living are buried, some people are worried that after the death of these people, because of excessive resentment, they will turn against the master, so they use a large stone to draw a charm to make a resentment stone and bury it together, thinking that this will dissolve the resentment of the soul and continue to serve the master. You see, the stripes on it are actually charms! ”

Zhao Lao handed the small stone in front of everyone, and sure enough, they all saw faint runes from it, if it wasn't for Zhao Lao's reminder, I'm afraid they would have regarded these runes as ordinary stone patterns, and they wouldn't care about it at all.

"I see, such a small stone is such a cruel thing!"

Wu Xiaoli said first, still shaking her head, her eyes staring at the small stone in Zhao Lao's hand, as if the stone was the culprit.

"Small stones are dead things, how can they be cruel, cruel is still human beings themselves, the funeral system has converged a lot after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was rare to be buried in the Qin and Han dynasties, until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, this cruel system reappeared, after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, a large number of concubines followed the burial, and the subsequent emperors were buried alive after their deaths, and it was not until Ming Yingzong that this system was canceled. However, at that time, there was no longer a resentment stone for the funeral, and the resentment stone has never appeared since the Qin and Han dynasties! ”

Zhao Lao said slowly, and Li Yang couldn't help but nod his head, and he hated this cruel system with everyone in his heart.

"Since there is no resentment stone after the Qin and Han dynasties, how can this kind of stone appear here?" Wu Xiaoli asked again, everyone's eyes lit up, and Wu Xiaoli asked what everyone wanted to know the most.

"I don't know this, why this miniature version of the resentment stone appears here, I'm afraid I can only ask the owner of this tomb!"

Old Zhao showed a wry smile on his face, he was also very puzzled that the Resentment Stone appeared in an ordinary tomb, this kind of thing has not appeared for thousands of years, but at this time it appeared in a small tomb, and it was so small, there was a trace of weirdness in it.

"Could it be that this tomb is a funeral object, and the tomb owner deliberately did it to cover up something, and he was worried that the martyred person would not be able to get along with the real tomb owner after death, so he used the resentment stone?"

Li Yang, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said a word, and everyone was suddenly stunned, Li Yang's statement can indeed explain why the Resentment Stone appeared in such an inconspicuous single tomb.

"What the young man said makes sense, if that's the case, then the owner of the tomb is not really buried in this tomb now, and it is very likely that this is a ......"

Deng Ming nodded and said, in the end, he stopped talking, basically everyone reflected it now.

"Suspicious Grave!"

The last person to speak was Zhao Lao, Zhao Lao nodded as he spoke, and the others were all looking around, Deng Ming also learned from Zhao Lao's appearance just now and grabbed a few handfuls of soil to smell it to see if he could smell anything.

"Young man, you can call the shots in this place, right?" Zhao Lao didn't look for anything, and suddenly asked Li Yang, who nodded subconsciously.

"Well, can we dig around here, I suspect there's another tomb here, and this tomb was set up to cover up that tomb!"

Zhao Lao looked at Li Yang with a little expectation in his eyes, after all, there is such a thing as a doubtful grave is rare, and generally only large families will set it up if they are worried about robbing the tomb, but even if the real tomb is set up, it will not be too far, like Cao Ying, there are only seventy-two doubtful tombs everywhere in history.

"No problem, you just dig it!"

Li Yang nodded with a smile, the reason why he reminded him just now was that he wanted to dig out a tomb below as soon as possible, and solve the matter of the ancient tomb as soon as possible, so that their school could progress normally.

As early as when Zhao Lao talked about the power of the resentment stone, Li Yang had already thought that this was just a fake tomb for burial, in order to cover up the real tomb below. It's just that Li Yang didn't expect that he would guess everything just by mentioning them, the expert deserves to be an expert, if Li Yang didn't have special abilities, he would never have thought of so much.

When the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau came, they were carrying shovels, shovels and other tools, and they completely cleaned up this ancient tomb, and now these tools are all used, and several people choose a place under the guidance of Zhao Lao to keep digging down, Li Yang looked at it, the place Zhao Lao pointed to is exactly the top of the real tomb, and Zhao Lao Li Yang is now convinced.

"Li Yang, do you think there really is an ancient tomb, and it's still a big tomb?"

Wu Xiaoli left Zhao Lao and left the ancient tomb with Li Yang, the inside of the ancient tomb was now being excavated, and it was inconvenient for them to continue to stay inside.

"Maybe, you should ask Old Zhao about this, his old man is an expert!" Looking at Wu Xiaoli's obviously excited face, Li Yang couldn't help but smile.

"Zhao Lao won't know about this kind of thing, I hope that there is a big ancient tomb below that has not been destroyed by tomb robbers, and I will have the capital to show off in front of my grandfather in the future!"

Wu Xiaoli rubbed her hands and said loudly, Li Yang shook his head again and smiled, Wu Xiaoli at this time is more like a child, there is no strong woman in the company at all, but this Wu Xiaoli gives people a more cordial and natural feeling, compared to before, Li Yang is more willing to contact with the current Wu Xiaoli.

"Bricks, tomb bricks, Zhao Lao, we dug up the tomb bricks!"

An excited shout immediately attracted the attention of Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli, Deng Ming was waving his hands vigorously below, his face turned red because of excitement, a person in his fifties still looked like a child, which made people want to laugh when they saw it.

"Okay, clean up along the tomb bricks first and see if there are any traces of theft!"

Zhao Lao hurriedly walked to the tomb and said loudly, even an old expert like Zhao Lao showed an excited expression at this time, which was enough to see how attractive the mysterious ancient tomb below was to them.

Digging out the tomb bricks, these people from the Cultural Relics Bureau are doing more energetically, and whether it is the County Cultural Relics Bureau or the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, they are all in full swing digging the loose soil around the tomb bricks, Deng Ming also called the Public Security Bureau, although there are no migrant workers around, but in order to prevent it, it is very likely that the people from the Public Security Bureau have not been stolen.
