Chapter 137: The Grotto Full of Scriptures
Seeing the joy on Zhang Yunyi's face, Zeng Rong immediately knew that Zhang Yunyi must have made a major discovery, otherwise it would be impossible to be so out of shape, you must know that Zhang Yunyi is like an ancient well, and it is difficult to make ripples in his mood.
This excavated volume of Dongba scriptures is the only volume of Dongba scriptures excavated by this archaeological excavation. The results of this archaeology can be said to be quite bleak, several utensils used by ancient Dongba priests, and a volume of Dongba scriptures. Compared with the large amount of manpower and material resources mobilized, it is definitely a loss-making transaction.
Zhang Dingfu, as the relevant person in charge of this event, must be a little unhappy. Seeing Zhang Yunyi's expression, Director Zhang showed a look of great anticipation on his face.
The greatest impact on the achievements of this archaeological activity is, of course, this political axe official. If there is a major discovery in this archaeology, the deputy director of the District Cultural Bureau will be equivalent to making meritorious contributions, and his political career will be much smoother in the future.
"Yunyi, what did you find?" Director Zhang was in a surging mood and his voice was cordial.
"Hmm." Zhang Yunyi said softly, ignoring Director Zhang, and walked straight forward, towards the position of the mountain wall.
This made Director Zhang a little embarrassed, but Zhang Yunyi's reputation in the archaeological world, plus there is a super heavyweight father on it, there is no need to worry about Director Zhang. Zhang Dingyi is in the archaeological community, which is the status of Taishan Beidou.
Zeng Rong flashed and followed closely by Zhang Yunyi's side.
Others don't know, but Zeng Rong knows very well that this archaeological operation is actually a very dangerous and privileged operation, and the invisible opponent behind it is actually an agent of the United States!
It is getting closer and closer to that mountain wall, from a few hundred meters, a hundred meters, dozens of meters.
The closer he got to the cave, the more excited Zhang Yun became, and finally when he arrived a few meters away from the mountain wall, Zeng Rong's expression was also excited!
Inside this mountain wall, there are obviously a lot of qi engines, and although the feeling of these qi engines is strong, there are many of them!
Feeling that those qi machines were emanating from the location, Zeng Rong's eyes fell on a place on the mountain wall. The strange stones on the mountain wall are messy, one on top of the other, layer upon layer, plus on the ground, the stone wall is messy with trees and grass, the vegetation is quite lush, it is difficult to see, there are traces of artificiality.
"Let's see if the stone here can be scraped off." Zhang Yunyi pointed to the rocks on a stone wall and said.
Soon, a few sturdy men got up with hoes, shovels, sledgehammers, and other tools.
After a while, a stone of more than 200 catties was pried off this stone wall, and as the first stone fell, the subsequent work became easier and easier.
Seeing that there were obvious traces of artificiality, Director Zhang's face showed an excited look!
You don't have to look at it to know that it's a grotto. There must be something important in the grotto that can be cleverly concealed in this way!
Although they don't know the true purpose of this archaeology, Director Zhang and Zhang Yunyi both know that among the relics of the Dongba religion excavated this time, the ancient Dongba scriptures are the most valued things from above.
Dongba scriptures, scriptures written in Dongba characters, Dongba script, is the script of the Naxi people, this kind of writing belongs to hieroglyphs, it is a very primitive kind of hieroglyphs, and its primitiveness is more primitive than the oracle bone inscription! It is known as the world's only living pure hieroglyphs, seeing things and paintings, completely primitive writing forms.
When Director Zhang was excited about making a major discovery, he didn't know that Zeng Rong's heart was even more excited! Zeng Rong was excited that countless items with a sense of qi would save him a lot of cultivation time!
The stone wall was dug out more than a meter deep, and finally, a cave appeared.
Under the sunlight, the contents inside were very clear, and stacks of Dongba scriptures were quietly placed there, piled up more than one person high!
Following behind Zhang Yunyi and walking into the grotto, Zeng Rong immediately felt that his whole body was completely surrounded by that kind of qi.
After calming down, Zeng Rong ran his qi slightly, and immediately felt that the qi sensation emanating from those scriptures penetrated into the pores of his whole body one by one and merged into his qi.
"Let's give it a tap!" Zhang Yunyi said immediately.
The counting work did not involve the people, and under the guard of two armed police soldiers, Zhang Yunyi, Director Zhang, and three assistants counted them one by one.
Zeng Rong also participated in the counting, but Zeng Rong was absorbing the qi emanating from these Dongba scriptures while taking inventory.
As soon as he counted a few books, Zeng Rong immediately found that not all of these scriptures had the existence of qi, but only a small part of the scriptures had qi sense.
Among the more than 3,000 Dongba scriptures, only five or six hundred contain qi that has the value of absorption, and the following are also found in other Dongba scriptures, but they are too weak and have no absorption value for Zeng Rong.
"Xiao Fang, you hurry up and go to Lijiang City. Go buy a couple of sturdy suitcases, the kind with combination locks. Director Zhang said to one of his assistants.
"Okay, Zhang Ju." Xiao Fang hurriedly agreed, and turned around to go to the place where the car was parked.
Three hours later, six large suitcases were in place.
"Put these in a suitcase and focus on care!" When it was packed, Zeng Rong put the hundreds of Dongba scriptures he had selected by himself into a suitcase.
Six boxes of Dongba scriptures were packed into large suitcases and locked. Director Zhang excitedly announced the end of the archaeological activities.
After the wages of the hired people are settled. The group rode three military vehicles to Lijiang City.
Zhang Yunyi, Director Zhang, and Zeng Rong were in a car, and at Zeng Rong's request, the box containing Dongba scriptures containing gas was also loaded into this car.
The driver was an assistant to Director Zhang, who sat in the passenger cab, while Zeng Rong and Zhang Yunyi sat in the back seat.
At Zeng Rong's feet was the box containing the Dongba scriptures containing a sense of qi.
"Director Zhang, we can't go back tonight, can we?" Zhang Yunyi suddenly said to Director Zhang.
"It's getting dark, and we're definitely going to spend the night in Lijiang." Director Zhang said with a smile that Director Zhang was in a good mood when such results were achieved in archaeology this time.
The scriptures of this cave have been discovered, and there must be a lot of information about the Naxi people to be displayed in front of the world, and even from these materials. There are many important historical deeds!
The Naxi people, a branch of the ancient Qiang people, migrated all the way down Gaohai Province and Shuchuan Province, and finally settled in Cainan Province. It has a long history, has gone through countless dynasties, and has had friction with many famous peoples. Back then, it was a big trouble for Nanzhao Kingdom!
The Naxi people have a very high level of education, and they are an ethnic minority with a higher average education level than the Han nationality in China, which completely subverts the image that ethnic minorities are backward in some people's minds.
Among the 300,000 Naxi people in existence, there are five university presidents and more than 3,000 professors, which is unimaginable, which can also be seen how much the Naxi people attach importance to culture!
Therefore, these ancient Dongba scriptures that have been handed down from hundreds of years ago must have recorded a lot of valuable things such as Naxi cultural information, social information, military information, etc.
According to the history recorded by the Naxi people, we will definitely be able to deduce the social form at that time, the situation between various ethnic groups, and discover some submerged historical truths!
All in all, this is definitely a major archaeological discovery, especially in the history of national culture!
As the main person in charge of this discovery, Director Zhang must make a heavy note, which is the capital of the future promotion!
"Let's live in the old town, when I used to go to school in Cainan Province, I longed for it, but I never had time to go." Zhang Yunyi said.
"Haha, of course, of course." Director Zhang hurriedly agreed. I'm in a good mood! Moreover, Zhang Yunyi has the greatest credit! As soon as you smell the Spring and Autumn Period, the nose function of this Zhang Yunyi is not only the age of judging cultural relics! And the value of discovering hidden treasure locations!
The car drove into the ancient city, and the ancient city of Lijiang City, as one of the four most intact ancient cities preserved in China, is definitely not built by this reputation.
Walking on the streets of the ancient city of Lijiang City, if it were not for the lights on the street. It's not a fashionable tourist, but it will definitely make people feel like they have traveled through time and space!
Walking in the ancient city, Zeng Rong felt that those fashionably dressed tourists were redundant, and at this time, if there was an ancient knight with a long sword on his waist, he was dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses. On the contrary, it is in line with Zeng Rong's current feeling.
"This box of Dongba scriptures is the most important, and it is placed in my room." When he stayed in the inn, Zeng Rong pointed to the big box containing the Dongba scriptures with a sense of gas and said.
Hearing Zeng Rong say this, a touch of doubt appeared in Zhang Yunyi's eyes.
A large courtyard, surrounded by a circle of two-storey houses, the layout of the building is basically the same as the inn seen in the costume film, the ancient city, it is really completely the ancient city.
For Zeng Rong. Now it's a race against time.
I don't know when this box of Gu Dongba scriptures with a sense of qi will be handed over, so Zeng Rong wants to use all the time to absorb as much qi as possible inside.
After dinner, Zeng Rong sat quietly next to the box of ancient Dongba scriptures and absorbed them with all his might.
When absorbing, Zeng Rong felt a little puzzled, how could the things of the Naxi people also have a sense of qi? Could it be that among the Naxi ancients, there were also people who practiced the inner family boxing method and reached a very high level, or that in ancient times, the Naxi people also had sages and the like among the Han people, relying on their strong hearts and surnames, which naturally produced a powerful qi in their bodies? Or is there another way to make an item contain a powerful qi in addition to these two ways?
This thought flashed in a flash, after all, the facts are right in front of you, and the qi contained in this box of ancient Dongba scriptures, although not powerful, is numerous. If he absorbed them all, he would be able to save Zeng Rong half a year of cultivation time.
After absorbing for an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
