In the next few days, Lin Yi had no time to be idle, while sorting out his collection of ancient books, he paid attention to the preparation project of the collection, and constantly reported his work to his "father-in-law". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just when he was busy and dizzy, an old friend came--- who is, the old Sun Tou of the City Museum, Director Sun.

Lin Yi and Lao Sun Tou can be regarded as old friends. As the director of the History Museum, this old grandson is a person who has nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, and there are three people who come with him, two middle-aged people, and a younger student.

Lao Sun Tou said that the two older ones were Director Shen of the Nandu Cultural Relics Bureau, Director Shen Fake, and Captain Zhang Boyuan of the Municipal Archaeological Team, and the younger one was a member of the archaeological team, whose name was Ye Qiu.

Lin Yi didn't quite understand, what kind of formation was this, why the Cultural Relics Bureau and the archaeological team came.

Sit down, serve tea, and start talking.

Lin Yi then figured out what was going on.

It turns out that Nandu is located in the Central Plains, where tomb robbery activities have always been rampant, especially in recent years, with the popularity of antique collections, there are more and more tomb robbers. Many tombs have been poisoned.

Recently, there was a case of tomb robbery in the inner countryside.

Originally, a father who was guarding the forest farm got up in the middle of the night to pee, and suddenly found that there was a ghost fire fluorescent not far ahead. He was startled, thinking that there was something dirty in front of him, but who knew that when he looked over, it turned out to be someone robbing the tomb.

It turned out that this was not a forest farm in the past, but a cemetery. Unlike the mass graves where corpses were thrown casually in the past, it is said that the burials were all made by wealthy people in ancient times. A long time ago, during the Republic of China, there were people who robbed tombs here and dug out "Tang Sancai"; Later, in the Cultural Revolution, people began to criticize the idea, and this kind of feudal tombs also became the object of criticism, so the revolutionary generals organized personnel to start digging tombs vigorously, and then criticized those dug tombs, what pottery porcelain, gold and stone calligraphy and painting, burn what can be burned, smash what can be smashed, make a mess, and the white bones in the tomb are also regarded as feudal "old masters" to be thrown into the wilderness. This unbridled campaign of destruction lasted almost a week, and was finally stopped by the People's Commune, saying that it was not a feudal cancer, but a cultural heritage.

The grave digging and criticism are over, but the consequences are serious, so that in the 80s, many children and adults herd sheep and cattle here, and occasionally they can pick up some ancient money, jade pendants, bronzes, swords, lamps and so on...... At first, the big guys didn't know that these things were valuable, so they all left them at home as gadgets. For example, the ancient money was worn with a red rope and hung around the child's neck, and the bronze sword was used as a kitchen knife.

It wasn't until later that experts came to buy old goods, commonly known as "planers", who were willing to pay a high price for these old things, three yuan for a copper coin, and thirty for a copper sword, and the big guy knew that these things could still be sold for money.

In a flash, the whole village sold all the old things hidden in the house. The ploughing man ran out of goods, so he encouraged the villagers, saying that if they got good things in the future, they would buy them at a high price.

At that time, it was already the early 90s, and the reform and opening up made "everything look at money", as long as you can make money, you can do anything. So the villagers couldn't grow crops well, so they took iron picks and hoes and began to pour around the ancient tomb.

This movement became bigger, and it attracted the attention of the Cultural Relics Bureau, so they sent people over and confiscated all the tools of the crime, and all the hoes and pickaxes were seized, and then they publicized to everyone that these were cultural relics or something, which belonged to the state, and could not be stolen and excavated without permission, otherwise it would be a tomb robbery, and it would be necessary to bear legal responsibility and go to prison.

At first, the big guys didn't believe it, thinking that the government was scaring them, and a few stunned young people went to rob the tomb in the middle of the night, and finally were arrested by the police station and sentenced to six years, which shocked these villagers.

However, because the villagers were used to getting rich, they asked them to replant their crops, and they seemed panicked, so some of them directly became professional tomb robbers. In order to prevent them, the village brigade also did everything they could, planting a forest in the original cemetery, and sending people to watch over it to prevent tomb robbery. Not to mention, this method is quite clever, and it is now in the blink of an eye. There haven't been any major grave robberies here. But not long ago, a group of people came to the village, following behind the ass of a feng shui fortune teller, looking left and right, and they didn't know what they were messing with. The people in the village were curious, but they were generous, and a few old people's heads were sprinkled when they drank saliva in the courtyard, and then they asked about something.

A few days later, the father who watched the forest farm got up in the middle of the night and saw the ghost fire, and he had the courage to go over to take a look, but it turned out to be a tomb robber, and it was the feng shui master who was not long ago. The old man whistled, alarming the tomb robbers, and the village was alarmed, and the dogs barked. The gang of tomb robbers didn't have time to hollow out the dug tomb, and when they saw that something was wrong, they all fled, and when they were about to escape, they also gave a brick to the head of the father who watched the forest farm, and the skull was smashed and sunken, and the blood flowed, and he put down the cruel words: "Let you be troublesome!" ”

……

When the matter got here, Lin Yi had already understood most of it, that is, someone had robbed the tomb recently, but unfortunately it didn't succeed, but he tried his best to leave the excavated ancient tomb and gave it to the archaeological team cheaply.

Lao Sun Tou said a lot, and then the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, Shen Fake, went on to talk about their "major discoveries". Zhang Boyuan, Captain Zhang and Ye Qiuye of the archaeological team next to him, made supplementary introductions on the side. The whole scene looks like some kind of "tomb excavation briefing".

According to Director Shen, the tomb excavated by these tomb robbers should be a large tomb of the Song Dynasty, with a rare shape and complex structure, and it is the highest specification and largest Song Dynasty tomb unearthed in Nandu.

After the municipal cultural relics protection department arrived at the scene, starting from the first tomb unearthed, many bones were found in the tomb. It seems that the owner of the tomb of the Song Dynasty was prominent during his lifetime, and those bones should belong to the "burial" personnel.

The vicious custom of burial has existed since the Warring States Period of the Qin Dynasty, and the number of martyrs is as high as 1,000 people, and there are two or three people as little, and even the custom of burial in the Ming Dynasty. It is therefore not unusual for this magnificent Song Dynasty tomb to be buried, but it is unusual to see some artifacts unearthed from this ancient tomb, including two white-glazed plum vases, a porcelain plate, several iron tools, and two horse-shaped stone tomb beasts. Among them, the beautifully glazed plum vase and the multi-sided brick carvings in the tomb are quite precious and contain rich historical information.

Director Shen and others told Lin Yi that due to the social conditions at that time, the common tombs of the scholar class in the Song Dynasty were mostly masonry tombs or cliff cave tombs, and the masonry tombs were mainly square, arc and polygonal; The octagonal masonry tomb discovered this time is the first time unearthed, and it is also the largest, highest grade and earliest Song Dynasty tomb found so far, which can be said to have rewritten history.

Lin Yi didn't seem to understand this, he was not a professional archaeologist after all, but he still patiently listened to the statements of Director Shen and others, and then asked very kindly, "I have been taught--- but what makes me curious is, what do you have to do with archaeological tomb excavation, and why did you come to me?" ”

At this time, Director Shen glanced at Director Sun. The old grandson smiled and said, "Since I found you, of course I need your help." ”

"That's right," Director Shen continued, "In the process of excavating the ancient tombs, in addition to the above-mentioned cultural relics, the most found are some ancient books from the Song Dynasty......

Hearing these words, Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and his recent research on the ancient Song version of the book was very deep.

Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be interested, Director Shen said again: "But unfortunately, due to preservation problems, those ancient books are still in the tomb, we don't dare to move, and we want to transfer some experts and scholars from the province to appraise them, but we can't find manpower...... Fortunately, I heard from Director Sun that Your Excellency is an expert in this area, so we came to you for help. ”

"Yes, you know, with text appraisal and ancient book appraisal, we can grasp the history and culture of this ancient tomb more quickly, and even the identity of the tomb owner, so we have to come to you." Zhang Boyuan also said earnestly.

Only Ye Qiu, the archaeological team member, didn't seem to value Lin Yi very much, in his opinion, Lin Yi was not very old, even younger than himself, how much ability he could have; If it weren't for the eagerness to grasp the situation of this ancient tomb, they wouldn't have come all the way here.

Lin Yi didn't care about this, even if these people didn't ask for help, when he heard that there were so many ancient books, Lin Yi couldn't help but get hot, and said, "Without further ado, we'll go now!" (To be continued.) )
