Chapter 1000: An Unexpected Discovery
"Dragonbone Temple?" Hearing Zhao San's answer, Zhang Meng blinked in confusion and asked, "Third Uncle, what is the Dragon Bone Temple?" Is there really a keel in this world? ”
"Hey, you've been burnt all the time, haven't you?" The fat man made a gesture to touch Zhao San's forehead, and while touching, he said, "Dragon, what dragon?" It's all prehistoric creatures, you really think this is a dinosaur museum. ”
"Fuck off, you little bastard." Zhao San slapped the fat man's hand away and scolded: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." ”
At the same time, the pheasant next to him stabbed the outer wall with a dagger, and after observing for a while, he also said: "The third uncle is right, the structure of this temple is indeed a keel. ”
"Ugh."
"Is it the keel of shipbuilding?" Xiao Lou seemed to remember something and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it's the keel of the ship." Zhao San took a puff of dry tobacco with satisfaction, and said to Xiao Lou: "I didn't expect it, you also know it, girl." ”
Xiao Lou explained: "I have seen shipbuilding materials before, and I know that this is the technical term of their industry. ”
"Uh...... What is a keel for shipbuilding? "Although the fat man has robbed a few princes' tombs in the water with Laizi, he has never seen shipbuilding, so he doesn't understand this.
Zhao San walked around the temple and said, "The so-called keel is the structure of the hull. Without this structure, the draft and load-bearing of the hull are not good, and only when the keel is installed can it be called a real ship. ”
"However, this is obviously the keel of a ship, how can it become a temple?" Zhang Meng asked Zhao San sideways.
Hearing Zhang Meng ask, Zhao San, who couldn't figure out what was going on, took a few more puffs of cigarette and sighed in a foggy voice: "Yes! That's where I get weird. ”
"Could it be that someone directly changed it into a temple?" Pheasant asked.
"Could it be that stinky old man in the tun?" The fat man said casually.
"Impossible!" Zhang Meng immediately denied: "With such a big temple, the keel of the hull must be hundreds of square meters, such a big ship, do you think ordinary people dare to get it?" ”
"Then this ......" The fat man choked for a while, and then said: "Maybe this boat is a boat that went down the river from Heilongjiang and ran aground here, and the big guy saw that this boat could not be used, so he changed it into a small temple." ”
"It's unlikely you're talking about that." Ye Jiu said faintly behind him: "If it was really their own temple, the other party would not be so jealous." ”
"Damn!"
"Don't analyze it." Zhao San knocked the ash of his cigarette, took another puff of cigarette and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
"Yes, if he is turned upside down, I don't believe that I can't find the origin of this ship." The fat man shouted loudly: "It's a pity that Laizi is gone, if Laizi is here, let him take a look or two, and he will know the origin of this temple." Even if you don't know, at least you can see the age, right? ”
was said by the fat man, everyone was a little disappointed, so many people are not as good as Laizi in the end. However, the fat man also reminded everyone that since he couldn't see what was going on, it was better to start from the age of this keel. Anyway, most of the people are engaged in archaeology, and they can't tell the specific age, but they can guess it.
After making up their minds, Zhang Meng, Zhao San, and Lady Na got together and roughly compared the piece that was cut out with a dagger just now.
In the end, it was concluded that according to the material and durability of the keel, it should be something from 300 years ago. Extrapolating from this upward, everyone agrees that it is the hull of the early Ming Dynasty.
Knowing that it was the keel of the Ming Dynasty, everyone was stunned. Because this is on the same time period as the clues that everyone is looking for, this place, can find things from the same era three hundred years ago, and no one will believe that such a coincidence kills anyone.
After determining that the keel of the hull was very likely to be related to Zhu Quan, King of Ning, everyone got busy and searched the entire house, inside and out, as long as it was something that might hide clues, they all moved it to the hall.
In the end, everyone focused on the statues of the gods enshrined in the temple.
Of course, the style of painting of this statue carving still has to be interpreted by the fat man.
The fat man was originally only pulled into the gang by Zhang Meng because of his understanding of the text, and slowly over the years, with the fat man's preferences, he also learned a little about the murals derived from the text and pictures, and now he can also see some signs from some stone maids and stone statues.
"Fat man, you are close to Laizi, which ancestor of Taoism do you think this is?" Zhang Meng asked.
"The ancestor of the Taoist family is not the idol we saw on Kunlun Mountain." The fat man pouted and said, "But most of the people worship Taishang Sanqing." ”
"Sanqing, we know." Lady asked, "Which one is this?" ”
"I'm not sure which one is clear." The fat man spreads his hands.
"Isn't this nonsense!"
"But fat man, I have been traveling south and north with Lai Zi for so many years, and I have never seen any small temple in a place where the Sanqing Patriarch is enshrined." The fat man's voice changed and said: "Most of them are local immortals, such as the Guandi Temple, the Midwifery Temple, the God of Wealth Temple, etc., looking at the appearance of this statue, it should not look like an old immortal who has come out of the dust." ”
"Oh?"
"Of course, it is also possible that an old Taoist priest has nothing to do here, left some deeds, and then was mythologized and enshrined here." Although the fat man said this, there was another explanation hidden in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Seeing this, Zhao San said impatiently: "Little fat man, don't make those twists and turns, you kid just say, who is this?" ”
"Nonsense, if you just look at your face, you can see that I'm not better than those experts, fat man?" The fat man muttered: "However, I can see one thing, this god statue is like I said, it is unlikely to be a certain Taoist ancestor, but more like a secular celebrity official who was mythologized." ”
"This ......"
Faced with the fat man's last sentence, everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to explain it.
Because there is no Laizi, many historical mysteries cannot be explained, and everyone can only stare dryly.
Finally, Zhang Meng looked up at Lady, asked Lady's opinion, and said: "In the materials of your archaeological research institute, are there any officials in the early Ming Dynasty who practiced benevolent government in this area?" ”
Lady Na shook her head: "This is not easy to find, you have to go to the database to check." According to what you understand, then this place should be stored as a real administrative unit, but in the Ming Dynasty, except for the era when Emperor Taizong Zhu Di personally conquered here and set up Nuer Gansiwei, there should be no Ming Dynasty officials who really arrived here. ”
"Not a single one?" Zhang Meng asked.
"At least not in my memory." Lady said.
"Actually, you can think about it the other way around, since the keel of the kell of this dragon bone temple and the statue are of the same era, could it be that this statue is the owner of this ship?" Lady Na suddenly had an idea.
"Yes." Zhang Meng nodded and added: "Not only that, but with the scale of this ship, only the Ming Dynasty government should have this authority." ”
"That makes sense." Lady Na thought for a while and said, "But except for Zheng He's voyage to the West, I haven't heard of anyone who has ever gone to sea here?" ”
"By the way, Zheng He went to the West!" Zhang Meng patted his head.
"it!" Seeing Zhang Meng like this, the fat man was suddenly dumbfounded: "Don't you think this is the place where Zheng He went to the West?" Don't fucking talk nonsense! History has already been decided, so I don't want you to be so brainy. ”
"Nonsense, I didn't say that the eunuch who is enshrined here is Zheng He." Zhang Meng looked at the fat man with disdain: "Actually, we have forgotten, if we go along this river, it is Sakhalin Island, Sakhalin Island was still our Ming Dynasty land at that time, since it is an official of the Ming Dynasty, it is natural to govern Sakhalin Island, could it be that the ship of the local officials is stranded here?" ”
"It's possible!" The fat man nodded: "Then why doesn't he take the waterway, and he has to enter the pass from the Heilongjiang River?" ”
"I don't know." Zhang Meng smiled bitterly.
"Haha, fat man, I thought you knew everything about what you did just now! It turned out that nothing was clear. ”
"Get out!" Zhang Meng replied: "You're awesome, why didn't you see who that idol was?" ”
"Nonsense! Aren't you guessing too? Fat man, I want to casually say that I am stunned by you, and you don't know. The fat man smiled.
"Alright, alright." Seeing that the two were still arguing, Zhao San hurriedly said, "You two both stop." Now let's talk about why we continue to go north. ”
"Follow Hai Dongqing to find clues!"
"What is written on that piece of blood cloth left by Ye Ye?"
"Ning Wang Zhu Quan."
"Where is the scope of activities of King Ning Zhu Quan?"
"In the early days, he was in Nanjing, in the middle of the middle in Duoyan Sanwei, and in the later period, he lived in seclusion in Jiangnan." The fat man said, "Isn't this what Big said!" ”
Hearing the fat man call himself that, Lady glared at the fat man fiercely.
"Just now we guessed that this keel of the ship is very likely to be from the early Ming Dynasty, right?" Zhao San followed the clue just now and said, "In other words, this ship should be in the same period as Zhu Quan." ”
"I'm not against that." The fat man agreed.
"And Zhu Quan, as Zhu Di's younger brother, and Zhu Di's minister of the humerus who seized the country, before he lost power, here, including Sakhalin Island that he guessed just now, should be under his control, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Meng nodded, and suddenly realized: "Third Uncle is suspicious, the grounding of this boat is related to Ning Wang Zhu Quan?" ”
"Yes." Zhao San said with a smile: "After all, he is still the king here, and Zhu Quan, as the prince, must know about such a big boat stranded here." Zhao San paused, and added: "In other words, this ship is Zhu Quan's boat." ”
Just as Zhao San's words fell, Ye Jiu, who had been in a daze, suddenly pulled out the fast snow knife on his waist, and then a knife slashed through, dividing the small niche where the idol was stored into two. After that, Ye Jiu took a sapper shovel and dug out a stone tablet under the niche without saying a word!
