After coming to the Baicheng Museum, a staff member who had already been instructed by Ji Yuan took Zhao Zhuo and the others to the cultural relics storage room, and the cultural relics stored in this storage room were all newly unearthed and had not yet been recorded.

The administrator Lao Yu was very enthusiastic, and when he heard that Zhao Zhuo and others were looking for the things unearthed from the tomb in Xiping Village, he took out all the excavated Zhizhi while cleaning up the things.

According to the records of the excavation, the tomb was found in the excavation of the construction site a few days ago, when the tomb bricks were dug up, there were a lot of burial goods inside, which were immediately looted by the workers, and later after legal propaganda and pursuit, most of them were recovered.

At present, the records include ten pieces of porcelain, three jars of ancient money, two pieces of jade, and one piece of gold and silverware.

Later, the museum staff cleaned up the tomb, and there were no burial goods in the coffin, and the bones were rotten, and there was no written record of any paper or tablet.

According to the local villagers, the hillside was a mass grave many years ago, a place for the villagers to bury their graves, and later because of the construction site, many villagers have moved away the ancestral graves, and no one knows which one this tomb is.

However, the boundary of Baicheng is located in the north of Guangzhou Province, very close to Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangxi, and during the Qing Dynasty, it was also a chaotic place, some people migrated, some people migrated, and people came batch after batch, so there are very few people who really take root and live for a long time.

After reading Yue Zhi's introduction, Lao Yu had already cleaned up all the burial goods and placed them on the table in turn, Zhao Zhuo saw that there were three pieces of porcelain and two pieces of jade surrounded by spiritual light, and he was secretly happy.

He pointed to contact with these spiritual lights, and the past fragments recorded in the antiques came to his mind, and each scene was made of painstaking efforts, and at this time he also guessed that the ancient man he saw on the aura of the blue and white porcelain vase at the beginning should be Yuande himself.

Most of the judgments of these spiritual displays are also related to Yuande, most of them are Yuande sitting in the study playing with all kinds of porcelain, jade and other things, and after playing with them from time to time, he sighed, stood by the window and looked into the distance, with a look of expectation and worry in his eyes.

These fragments are as if he has experienced one, Zhao Zhuo can also deeply feel the anxiety and uneasiness in Yuan De's heart, as a chess piece arranged by Shi Dakai, as the guardian of the treasure, he shoulders a very important mission, and these things can not be mentioned to anyone, even including his own children, after all, at that time, the Qing court was vigorously suppressing the Taiping Taiguo, Shi Dakai's form was quite dangerous, and the armies in all directions began to encircle and suppress.

But Yuande had no way to charge, even if he was worried, he had to stay in the village, and the only way to squeeze out his sorrow was to put his mind on antiques.

Pictures flashed, but no more useful information was found, and Zhao Zhuo's brows furrowed slightly, but just on top of the last jade, Yuan De took the jade to the courtyard, and from the angle of the courtyard, he could just see a bare stone mountain outside.

After the picture disappeared, Zhao Zhuo's heart couldn't help but move, although he didn't know where the Yuan family's mansion was, but as long as there was a reference, it would be the best, and the bare stone mountain was not the best reference?

Seeing that Zhao Zhuo had to touch every item out of thin air, the cautious and concentrating attitude seemed as if these antiques were telling him all kinds of useful information, Mo Ling on the side of him knew what he was doing, but Jing Yao was confused, no matter how she looked at it, she only felt that these antiques were very ordinary, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you find anything?" ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded slightly, Jing Yao felt even more confused, picked up a piece of porcelain and said in surprise: "Then what did you find?" ”

Zhao Zhuo didn't explain much, if he said that he could get in touch with the scenes recorded in it through antiques, wouldn't it be a fantasy? Even though Jing Yao Bingxue is smart, it is not a simple matter to make her accept it all at once.

Moreover, although Jing Yao was a good friend, Zhao Zhuo didn't plan to let her know this secret.

Therefore, he just smiled incomprehensibly and asked Lao Yu, "Old Yu, are you familiar with Xiping Village?" ”

Lao Yu said: "Of course I am familiar, Baicheng is such a small place, those of us who are engaged in cultural relics are walking the streets and alleys, and we can remember the road with our eyes closed." ”

Zhao Zhuo asked, "What kind of place is Siping Village?" ”

Lao Yu thought for a while and said: "Xiping Village is a small village on the outskirts of Dongcheng, backed by several mountains, several of which are bare stone mountains, and no plants can grow on the mountains, all of them are white flowers and stones. There are many stone mountains near the White Castle, and it looks white from a distance, and many years ago, when there were walls around the White Castle, it was made of white stones from the Stone Mountain, so it was called the White Castle. ”

Zhao Zhuo frowned slightly, originally he thought that if there was a stone mountain, it would be really easy to find, but if there were several, and different directions looked different, then it would be a bit troublesome to rely on it to find the Yuan family's mansion.

Out of the door of the museum, after the three of them got into the car, Jing Yao looked at Zhao Zhuo seriously, looking very serious, when he first saw Zhao Zhuo, this young man had just stepped into the antique circle, and what he was playing with was just ancient money, however, every time he came into contact with him again, he felt that he was getting more and more extensive and profound, and in just a few months, he already had a bit of a master's demeanor.

And today, when I look at him again, I feel even more mysterious and incomprehensible.

Zhao Zhuo felt her gaze and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Jing Yao found that she was a little distracted, feeling that she had been staring at each other, and her ears couldn't help but turn red, and she shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just think that you have some supernatural feelings." ”

Ji Xiaofan also interjected on the side: "I also feel this way, Brother Zhao, you just stood next to those antiques, reaching out and touching each other, I feel as if you are communicating with antiques." ”

Zhao Zhuo didn't expect the two of them to feel so keenly, so he explained with a smile: "I just found some white ash in the porcelain vase, and I feel that the Yuan family's mansion is likely to be near the Stone Mountain." ”

Ji Xiaofan suddenly realized: "No wonder Brother Zhao, you asked about the situation around Xiping Village." ”

The three of them drove to Xiping Village in the eastern suburbs, and soon met with Ji Yuan and others, and at the same time, Cui Shiyan also timely compared the area of Xiping Village in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era with the modern map.

As Lao Yu said, Xiping Village is actually backed by a large mountain, except for a relatively high mountain range, the others are small hills, among which there are five or six stone mountains, each of which looks similar, Xiping Village is located on the valley floor between these mountains.

At this time, Ji Yuan and the others had already finished questioning the old people in Xiping Village, for the Qing tomb, no one knew which one it was, and it was said that there was no family surnamed Yuan, and according to the historical records of the village, the oldest group of people in the village also migrated from neighboring counties only a few decades ago, and they knew little about what happened before.

However, after comparing the modern map with the map of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Cui Shiyan found that there are some differences between the location of Xiping Village more than 200 years ago and the current Xiping Village, which seems to have been relocated as a whole, and the former Xiping Village is not in its current location.

The head of Xiping Village remembered that there was a story in the village that a large mudslide had been caused by a flood that buried the village at that time, so the surviving villagers moved to a place outside the mountain.

Fortunately, Xiping Village is not big, and the villagers often go up the mountain to chop firewood and hunt and the like, and every household has a dog, and they are very familiar with the mountain roads.

As soon as they said this, they combined the maps and historical records and marched towards the path of the valley, and when the sun set, they came to a desolate valley bottom.

Due to the mudslides in the past, the mountain roads here have almost been filled in, and even the roads have become very narrow.

There were a lot of lush weeds growing at the bottom of the valley, and among the weeds, there was a very old earthen house, and the loess wall of the house was only half of it, and it had long been so bad, as if it could be blown down by the wind, and there were only one or two beams and pillars left to support the house, each of which was rotten and stained, and could fall from it at any time.

Ji Yuan and the others are all veterans of appraisal, and they are naturally very familiar with the structure of the house, and after appraising this house, they believe that it must be a hundred years ago.

The people were overjoyed, and as they marched along the valley floor, they saw the ruins of many earthen houses, which were scattered among the weeds, and all the walls were ruined, and only two walls remained of the best preserved one.

However, everyone did not feel any discouragement because of this, but became more and more excited, and as the valley gradually deepened, they finally saw the former Xiping Village.

Three stone mountains surround Xiping Village, the stone mountain on the left is obviously the source of the mudslide, you can still clearly see a large number of mud and rocks rolling down and precipitation signs, the entire Xiping Village half has been completely covered, and a part of the sediment has hit the middle of the village, destroying a large area of mud houses, the only thing left is twenty or thirty earth houses.

These twenty or thirty earthen houses are well preserved, and at the same time, the grades are not the same, some of them are very dilapidated, and even the mud on the walls is uneven, quite rough.
