Chapter 177: Shocking the Cultural Relics World (Medium)

"Xiao Yi, where is the thing you want to see?" After walking in, Mu Lao couldn't wait to ask, he came all the way from the city, but it was just to see the treasure that Yi Yang had just started, so he naturally paid attention to it.

Yi Yang said, "Right there, inside that box." ”

He pointed to the wooden box that was placed in the center of the living room, seeing this, Mu Lao and Lu Lao and other unaware masters couldn't help but look at me, I look at me, who knows what is in it for a while.

But their faces were full of curiosity, and they obviously wanted to see it.

"Xiao Yi, what will be in this box?" Lu Lao couldn't help but ask.

They speculated in their hearts that the things that were packed in such a large box were definitely not ordinary things, at least not small pieces, and should be a "heavy weapon".

Before, Yi Yang found a Song Dynasty Jiuyao sword for Lu Lao, that sword was very amazing, could it be that this is another ancient weapon, and it is a very shocking kind.

Before seeing the true face of Lushan of that thing, Lu Lao and the others could only guess like this, because they didn't know anything about it.

"Old Lu, you'll know when I open the box." Yi Yang smiled unhurriedly, "This is Zhoukoudian, the place where the Peking Man and the Cave Man ruins were discovered, you must know this better than us." ”

He casually mentioned the most basic situation of this place, and Lu Lao nodded and said, "Yes, could it be that this thing you just picked up is related to the Peking Man ruins?" ”

Yi Yang gave a slight hint, Lu Lao thought of this point, and when he asked, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was a strange look in their eyes.

"Lu Lao, Mu Lao, and all the masters, the reason why I asked all of you to identify this thing is because this thing is not trivial, after reading it, you have to keep it secret, and don't sue anyone before dealing with it." Yi Yang suddenly straightened his expression and said very sternly.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Lao, Mu Lao and the others were even more surprised, but they did not hesitate, but quickly nodded their heads, only to hear Lu Lao say solemnly: "Xiao Yi, you can rest assured about this, no matter what it is, as long as you don't let us say it, then we will definitely not say it!" Everyone said yes, right?

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Lao Bi and the others who were standing behind him, and Lao Bi and the others nodded their heads again and again.

Mu Lao also nodded solemnly and agreed: "Xiao Yi, you know we won't, otherwise you wouldn't have called us to come and see, right?" ”

"Yes!" Yi Yang nodded vigorously and said, "I believe in you very much. It's not that I won't let you say it, but this thing is really not small, and it's a big deal! ”

"Xiao Yi, what the hell is it?! Is it that heavy or?! Lu Lao looked at Yi Yang with a solemn expression and asked.

"Yes, very important!" Yi Yang nodded heavily and replied, "But Xiao Chao and I were still a little uncertain when they found this thing, not very sure, but we believe that with your eyesight, we will definitely be able to identify a definite result!" ”

Lu Lao said in a deep voice: "We haven't seen that thing yet, it's hard to say, maybe I can't see it accurately, but it's also, Master Mu is here, he is a master in this industry, his vision is so good, he must be able to see a result!" ”

Mu Lao shook his head and said modestly: "Master Lu, you have won the award, everyone here is an expert, in fact, Xiao Yi's own eyesight is not weak, I may not be able to eat what he doesn't see accurately, but let's take a look first, let's do our best!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Lao nodded hurriedly and agreed, and said, "Xiao Yi, since this is the case, then you can open the box first, let us see the contents inside, maybe we can give you some advice." ”

Yi Yang nodded and said, "Well, okay, then I'll open it, please help me take a look." ”

With that, he leaned down and carefully lifted the lid of the box.

After opening it, Mu Lao and the others could not see the thing, because it was still wrapped in a layer of golden silk cloth.

"What could it be?" At this moment, everyone, including Lu Lao and Mu Lao, held their breath, staring intently at the things wrapped under the silk cloth, listening to Yi Yang's words, they expected what kind of big treasure it was, and it was priceless.

"I'll take the cloth away first." After lifting the lid of the box, Yi Yang said, and then he was more careful and gently took off the layer of silk cloth.

"Bones?!"

When the cloth was uncovered, revealing what was underneath, at that moment, Lu Lao, Mu Lao and everyone else present widened their eyes and their faces were full of horror.

"Xiao Yi, this ...... What is it?! Where did you get that?! After a long time, Lu Lao reacted from the shock and asked loudly, looking very uneasy.

Yi Yang replied truthfully: "We found it from a mountain opposite the Dragon Bone Mountain, which is a high mountain next to Jiangjia Village, Lu Lao, you all know it." In addition to this skeleton, we also found some broken bones, we believe that these bones are not ordinary human bones, but fossils, coupled with the knowledge of history, we preliminarily judged that this is a group of Peking people or the remains of cave people on the top of the mountain! ”

"Fossilized bones of Peking Man!" Hearing his explanation, Lu Lao and the others were taken aback again.

Originally, when they saw the corpse for the first time, there was only fear and taboo in their hearts, and no one thought about it, but now listening to Yi Yang's explanation, they seemed to understand a little, and the expression on their faces changed significantly.

Especially Mu Lao, his brows furrowed, and his eyes stared at the strange skeleton in the box for a moment.

"Xiao Yi is right!" After looking at it seriously for a while, Mu Lao nodded solemnly and said, "This skeleton is not an ordinary skeleton, judging from its bone characteristics and bone petrification, it is really very likely that it is the remains of Peking people!" ”

"Pekingese bones?! How is this possible?! Lu Lao hurriedly shook his head and said, "One of the things that archaeologists can find a small piece of human bone fossils is that his forehead is protruding, so his frontal bone will also appear very prominent, which is the same as this one, while our fully evolved ordinary human frontal bone is much flatter." Of course, we can't conclude that it is a Peking skeleton based on this alone, but also identify it from many other aspects, and even do carbon 14 testing of bone and use scientific methods to identify. ”

"We saw this early on." Yi Yang nodded.

Lu Lao also nodded in approval: "This is indeed the case. ”

"The skull is low and flat, the forehead is tilted backwards, the widest part of the skull is low, the supraorbital round pillow appears a distinct wide groove between the frontal scales, the skull has a sagittal ridge, the nasal bone is wide, it is a wide nose type and close to the extra-wide nose type, the cheekbones are very high, the zygomatic protrusion is protruding and vertical, the snout is slightly protruding forward without a lower jaw, the mandible has a mandibular round pillow, the teeth are thick, the incisors are shovel-shaped, and the average brain volume is about 1075 ml, which belongs to the category of Homo erectus. The upper limb bones are shorter than the lower limb bones, similar to those of modern humans......"

Next, in addition to the most basic features of the forehead bone of the Peking people, Mu Lao also carefully observed the other parts of the skeleton, and he groped for it, while whispering the physical characteristics of the Peking people.

Looking at this, Mu Lao and Lu Lao became more and more surprised, because the characteristics of this skeleton are strikingly similar to the characteristics of the Peking people, if this is not the skeleton of the Beijing people, it will not be so coincidental, and it is impossible for all the characteristics to conform to the situation written above.

In the end, Mu Lao and the others had no doubt, and unanimously determined that the skeleton that Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao excavated from the cave on the mountain was very likely to be a fossilized skeleton of Peking Man.

"Xiao Yi, this is a miracle!" After reading and confirming, Mu Lao stood up and said loudly in surprise and joy, "You actually found a Peking skeleton, this is definitely a blockbuster news that shocked the world!" ”

"yes!" Lu Lao also said, "Even if this is not the bones of Peking people, it is also the bone fossils of primitive humans such as cave people on the top of the mountain, which has great historical research significance, and of course, it will also have a great role in promoting research in the field of biology." ”

For a while, Mu Lao and the others were amazed by Yi Yang, and they all said that this was amazing, but it was more exciting than sending out any treasure.

Yi Yang shook his head and said: "However, Mu Lao, Lu Lao, in the study of cultural relics, we are all laymen, and it is difficult to see accurately. ”

Lu Lao said: "That being said, we can still see the basic things. ”

Bai Wenchao, who had been standing quietly on the side, suddenly interjected: "Brother Yi Yang, now Mu Lao and Grandpa both think that things are Beijing skeletons, that's right, then there should be no problem, and the next thing is how you are going to deal with it." ”

"That's right." Mu Lao nodded and said, "Xiao Chao is right, Xiao Yi, what do you do with this thing, including other bones and things in that cave?" ”

Lu Lao accosted: "This matter is not trivial, it can't be handled at will." I propose to hand over these things to the people of the national cultural relics department and let them study them, so that they can benefit the development of cultural relics in our country, and there are many other very important significance. ”

Yi Yang nodded without hesitation and said, "Mu Lao, Lu Lao, I have already discussed this matter with Xiao Chao before, and we have already made a decision." ”

"So what are you going to do?" Lu Lao asked in a deep voice.

Yi Yang said in a firm tone: "We plan to dedicate this Peking skeleton to the country, because we were not sure before, so it is not good to act like this, I want you to make a decision after seeing it, it seems that it can be determined now, so what else is there to say, dedicate it to the national cultural relics department." ”

"That's good!" Hearing him say this, Mu Lao and Lu Lao nodded in agreement.

Mu Lao was pleased: "Xiao Yi, you are right to do this, don't think that the skeleton of the Peking Man is a rare thing and keep it for your own collection, this thing is actually of little collection value for individuals, but for our country's cultural relics and archaeology, it will have a great effect!" It's one of a kind, and if you give it away, it's going to be a sensation! ”

Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "Well, then it's decided." It's just that, Mu Lao, I don't know how to give it away, can you find a way to help me handle this matter? ”

Mu Lao smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? Wouldn't it be clear if you called the researchers from the cultural relics department and saw it? ”

"Then you should know researchers in this area, right?" Yi Yang asked.

"Yes, of course I do!" Mu Lao nodded and said, "Then why don't I call them and ask them to send someone to identify them first?" ”

"yes, okay." Yi Yang nodded in agreement without hesitation, and said, "Then call it." ”

Anyway, sooner or later, it's better to do it sooner, so as not to have many dreams at night, this thing is a burden to put in your hands, take it away early, and go to a big event early.

After getting Yi Yang's permission, Mu Lao took out his hand and stepped aside to make a call.

At this point, the skeleton of Peking Man will soon be displayed in front of the eyes of the world, and the regret of archaeologists for the loss of a Peking Man skull robbed by Japan during the Anti-Japanese War will disappear in an instant.

It's going to shake the world!

"Xiao Yi, I have already called a friend from the cultural relics department, and he said that they will come over to see it immediately."

Soon Mu Lao finished the call, and then came over to tell Yi Yang about the matter.

Yi Yang nodded and said, "Well, okay, let's wait for their arrival." ”

Mu Lao said excitedly: "Xiao Yi, you have discovered the Peking Man ruins this time, and you have also excavated such a complete skeleton of Peking Man, which is really a great contribution!" ”
