Chapter 404: It's All National Treasures! (c)
"That's bones!" Bai Wenchao also quickly noticed the place where Yin Xiangqin had stepped on just now, and saw a pile of Bai Sensen's bones placed horizontally and vertically, one of which was a skull that was very conspicuous and terrifying.
Yi Yang said calmly: "It's just a bunch of white bones, it's nothing." Xiangqin, don't be afraid, that's nothing. β
He comforted Yin Xiangqin, and it took a long time for Yin Xiangqin to raise her head from his back, but she never let go of her hand.
"Yi Yang, what's going on here...... How can there be human bones? After settling down a little, Yinxiangqin asked in a trembling voice.
Yi Yang replied, "That skeleton is a long, long time ago, more than two thousand years ago, and it's not new, so don't be afraid." β
"Is this an ancient tomb?" Yinxiang Qinfu asked rhetorically.
Hearing her suddenly ask, Yi Yang couldn't help but glance at Bai Wenchao, she didn't expect that she had already thought of this, but yes, she was smart and icing, but she wasn't stupid at all, things were so obvious, she couldn't guess what this place was.
"Well, it's possible." Yi Yang replied lightly.
He didn't deny it, in fact, he couldn't hide it, there were two coffins in front of him, this couldn't be more obvious, everyone could see it.
"It turns out that this is an ancient tomb, and these treasures inside are all cultural relics." Yin Xiangqin suddenly realized, "Yi Yang, selfishly stealing the cultural relics in the ancient tomb is a crime and a crime, this is not okay." β
Hearing this, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao smiled bitterly.
Yi Yang said: "Xiangqin, you are not mixed in our antique shop, you may not know the 'unspoken rules', whether a thing is a cultural relic or not, in a certain way, it is difficult to define. To be honest, many of the genuine antiques we can see have been unearthed, but they have been whitewashed through various channels. So, even if you see an unearthed artifact, there is no need to make a fuss, as long as it is not stolen from a museum. Besides, we didn't know that this was an ancient tomb, and we only confirmed it now, and the rest of the matter has not yet been decided. β
Bai Wenchao smiled: "Miss Yin, you probably don't know yet, right?" Brother Yi Yang, he has made great contributions to the cause of cultural relics in our country in the past, and most archaeologists are far from that contribution. β
"What contribution? Have you ever donated cultural relics? Yin Xiangqin asked curiously.
Bai Wenchao shook his head and said: "That's much bigger than the ordinary cultural relics donation!" β
At that moment, he told Yin Xiangqin about Yi Yang's discovery of the complete skeleton of the Peking Man, and after hearing it, Yin Xiangqin was amazed and praised loudly: "I didn't expect Yi Yang to have such great achievements, it was a great feat that shook the world, it was amazing!" β
Yi Yang shook his head and said: "Actually, those cultural relics were not discovered by me alone, but by me and Xiaochao, without their help, it would be difficult for me to excavate." β
"Yi Yang, will you tell Miss SΓΉ Zhu about this ancient tomb when you look back? Didn't you come with them to archaeology in the West? Yin Xiangqin then asked.
Yi Yang said: "Let's go back and talk about it." Actually, I am not a professional archaeologist, not a cultural relics department, I just came to visit and study with them. Personally, except for special artifacts, I would rather put them in the original tombs than in museums, and now many museums have become one of the tourist attractions, and charging tickets and turning them into a profit tool have lost that flavor. What's more, after the things flow into the cultural relics department, some of them sink into the sea, and they don't know where they go, and countless people are destroyed for various reasons......"
Yin Xiangqin nodded in agreement: "Listening to you say this, I suddenly feel that it makes sense, anyway, I don't understand this, I will listen to you, you are right, you are right, but just now I didn't expect this to be an ancient tomb." β
Yi Yang said: "It's the same now. Xiangqin, this is a secret between us, don't tell any of us after we go out, just the three of us know, do you want to tell the cultural relics department about this news, I will think about it later. β
"Well, I listen to you, and I will never talk nonsense!" Yin Xiangqin hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"I believe in you." Yi Yang nodded with satisfaction.
If he didn't believe in Yin Xiangqin, then he wouldn't have brought the other party in, the two of them had experienced life and death together, so the dangerous situation had been faced together, what else did they distrust each other.
"This is the 'dormitory' of the ancient tomb, where the owner's coffin is placed, let's take a closer look." After saying goodbye, Yi Yang greeted.
Since Yin Xiangqin already knew that this was an ancient tomb, she had to introduce the situation, so that she could be mentally prepared and not be frightened like that.
At that moment, with the help of flashlights, they carefully examined the situation in this tomb.
In addition to the two neatly arranged coffins, there are other things around, which are of course cultural relics, including bronze ware, pottery, and utensils made of precious metals such as gold and silver.
"Brother Yi Yang, this gilded copper tripod is really good!" Bai Wenchao pointed to a three-legged tripod placed next to the coffin and exclaimed.
That tripod is relatively large, almost half a meter high, very bloated, and the weight is not less than 500 catties.
The whole tripod is golden, dazzling, and at first glance it looks like a golden tripod.
"yes!" Yi Yang nodded, "Very good!" β
Bai Wenchao said with a smile: "Just now, I thought it was a big tripod made of pure gold, if the texture is pure gold, then I don't know how much so much gold is worth." β
Yi Yang said: "Valuable. Although it is only gilded, it is also very valuable, and it is a very important cultural relic, and it may be possible to obtain important historical information from some of the information left on the copper tripod. β
Bai Wenchao nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, it's rare to see!" Brother Yi Yang, these two coffins are still very well preserved, look at the wood of this coffin, it should be made of ebony, right? β
"Don't touch!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the coffin.
Yi Yang grabbed his arm and immediately stopped him.
"What's wrong, Brother Yi Yang?" Bai Wenchao turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
Yi Yang replied in a deep voice: "That coffin is black and shiny, as if there is a layer of grease, and I am afraid that it is coated with an unknown substance, maybe that substance contains a highly toxic substance, and it is an invisible toxin that can kill people." Therefore, it is better to be careful and not touch lightly, after all, this is a coffin, a place where the owner's body is buried, and the most important thing in the entire ancient tomb. β
"Won't it?" Bai Wenchao couldn't help but gasp for a long time, and said happily, "Brother Yiyang, fortunately you stopped me in time, otherwise the consequences might be unimaginable." β
Yi Yang said: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what happens, it is always right to be careful." β
"Well, you're right, or you're thoughtful." Bai Wenchao couldn't help but nod and said, "Then these two coffins are not opened?" β
Yi Yang nodded without hesitation and said, "Well, it's not open." The deceased is the greatest, you have to respect him, besides, there are some gold, silver and jade in the coffin, and those things are worth like that, just don't look at them. β
Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "Well, don't look at it, so as not to be unlucky." Let's go to the 'side hall' at the end. β
"Well, go over there." Yi Yang replied.
With that, the three of them walked through the dormitory and walked straight to the back of the tomb.
"Brother Yi Yang, this matching hall has collapsed!"
After walking in, Yi Yang and the others found that the end of the side hall had collapsed and was covered by a thick layer of soil.
Yi Yang said: "I should have thought of this a long time ago. The antiques dug up in the fields around Wujiawan were lost from this hall. Under the accumulation of flowing water, part of the tomb collapsed, and the artifacts inside were washed down, scattered around, and after a long time, they were covered with soil and buried underground. β
"That's how it should be!" Bai Wenchao nodded heavily and said, "We have finally explained the huge mystery, except for us, the people of Wujiawan are still in the dark!" β
Yi Yang said: "Yes, we have solved this mystery by mistake. β
Yin Xiangqin suddenly said: "There are more cultural relics in this 'matching hall', just like a large collection room." β
Yi Yang nodded and said: "Most of the cultural relics in the 'side hall' in the ancient tomb are funerary goods, which are commonly known as 'dark weapons', and most of them are some important items used by the owner of the ancient tomb during his lifetime. It can be said that if we are still talking about burial, then after the death of those great collectors, many of the antiques they collected during their lifetimes will be placed in this 'side hall', so it is like a collection room. The contents of the 'side hall' are often richer than those in the 'Ming Palace' and the 'Sleeping Palace'. β
"Indeed, there are a lot more artifacts in it." Yin Xiangqin nodded hurriedly in response.
"Let's take a look at what's in here." Yi Yang then greeted.
With that, he shook his flashlight and carefully examined the artifacts placed around him.
"Brother Yi Yang, this is all a national treasure!" After looking at it for a while, Bai Wenchao couldn't help but sigh in great admiration, and said excitedly, "If these things are placed in the museum, they are guaranteed to be national treasure-level cultural relics, and each piece is worth a lot of money!" β
Yi Yang smiled: "It's hard to say whether it's a national treasure or not, but it's really a high-quality product, maybe it has great historical research significance." β
Yin Xiangqin also said happily: "Your receipt today is really big, you have found such a big 'treasure cave'!" β
The three of them commented with a smile.
Suddenly, I only heard a "squeak" sound from outside the "matching hall", which did not look like a snake, it was extremely weird.
Although the voice didn't sound very loud, Yi Yang and the three of them could hear it very clearly, which made people feel creepy.
