Chapter 36: The Jade Deer
Mr. Zhou sat on the sofa with a cigarette pot in his mouth, and on the coffee table in front of him was a jade Buddha, a jade Buddha from the Song Dynasty, which he had recently grabbed at an auction. He looked at the Jade Buddha, took a puff of cigarette, and then bent forward, staring at the Jade Buddha as if the Jade Buddha could tell him the answer he was thinking now.
On the walls around the hall, there are some ancient famous paintings, Mr. Zhou likes to hang some collected paintings on the wall, when he has nothing to do, he admires these ancient famous paintings, when he appreciates these paintings, he is not just looking at the scenery figures, but through the scenery to find some very secret clues to the ancient tomb.
Many of the landscapes on the ancient paintings were painted by the painters of the time according to the actual scenes, and those scenes have ceased to exist after thousands of years of topographical evolution and human destruction, these ancient paintings are like pictures taken by the camera, in archaeology, this has the archaeological value of restoring historical figures and geography.
Mr. Zhou while admiring the ancient paintings, while restoring the ancient terrain in his mind, his memory is very good, he can write down almost all the contents of these paintings, and then piece them together, he can restore the overall appearance of a small town in ancient times, according to these appearances, and then combined with feng shui, he can find a better location of feng shui, then these good locations of feng shui, in the eyes of ancient people, ancient people will bury the dead here, if the feng shui is surprisingly good, and close to the capital, or close to important cities, That will surely bury the royal nobles.
Miss Yu knows more about all the important clues in ancient paintings, maybe some of them have hidden mysteries, and they are sub-ancient paintings on the outside, but they are actually treasure maps.
When the tobacco in the pipe burned out, Mr. Zhou knocked off the ash and refilled a pot of tobacco that he had brought back from Brazil, and the smell of the tobacco was intoxicating enough, let alone a pot of smoke. Mr. Zhou likes to be surrounded by this kind of smoke after burning, so that his attention will be more focused, which will help him think deeply.
The continuous rush made Mr. Zhou extremely tired, and the auction went many times, but he had no clue, and he even began to wonder if the appearance of "Taiping Yaoshu" would be a conspiracy. So what are the plotters going to do? Now that everyone is looking at this book, it seems that they ignore the other situation, so what will this other situation be?
The small team excavating Jiulonggang had to rest for more than four months, and the severe cold in the north lasted for a long time, which also made Mr. Zhou feel very anxious.
Mr. Zhou stood up, moved his neck, he wanted to go out to find a place to pinch it, so that his muscles and bones could rest, he walked out of the villa, drove to Mrs. Guan's hall, he and Mrs. Guan are also old acquaintances, 20 years ago when Mr. Zhou first came to Thirty Mile Town, Mrs. Guan was still a small flower, 20 years have passed, this little young flower has become a powerful figure in Thirty Mile Town.
Mrs. Guan naturally knew some about Mr. Zhou, and after a few words of greeting, Mr. Zhou walked into a luxurious room, the hall is divided into three floors, and there are ten luxury rooms, each floor is divided into several rooms.
Mr. Zhou was lying on the large sofa, and after a while, he knocked on the door and walked in a young female TCM masseuse in a white coat, she put her things away, and began to give Mr. Zhou a TCM massage, massaging on various acupuncture points. About half an hour later, Mr. Zhou had completely relaxed and entered a semi-sleep state, at this time, the female TCM doctor opened a small box, took out a silver needle from the box, pressed a few times on Mr. Zhou's back with her fingers, and then pricked the silver needle on Mr. Zhou's back.
Comfortable!
When did Mrs. Guan's club have such a massage, this is really a blessing for the tired, Mr. Zhou thought.
At this time, the masseur took out a silver needle, slowly rubbed it, and pierced it into Mr. Zhou's back little by little, Mr. Zhou immediately felt another wave of accumulated labor flowing out of his body, he took a long breath, and suddenly felt that he was more relaxed, and his body was like not being controlled by himself, sinking on the sofa, sleepiness came immediately, and his head became heavy.
When the masseur took out the third silver needle, Mr. Zhou's phone rang suddenly, he got up to answer the phone, the masseur had to pinch a needle and wait there, she was wearing a mask, and she couldn't see her face.
It was an antique dealer who called Mr. Zhou, and he said that "Taiping Yaoshu" was very likely to be in Lucheng, and he had sent someone to Lucheng to investigate, and he would inform Mr. Zhou once there was any new development.
Mr. Zhou hung up the phone, thinking about it, Lucheng, famous for deer, once archaeologists also excavated a jade deer in the underground of Lucheng, so Lucheng's alias is called Yulu, now this thing is placed in the museum of Lucheng, bizarrely, archaeologists continue to excavate in the place where Yulu was found, expand the scope, at first they judged that the underground of Lucheng may be a large ancient tomb, but dug for a long time, except for the jade deer, nothing, there is no ruins of the ancient tomb, archaeologists have found that Yulu research, The jade deer turned out to be a cultural relic of the Zhou Dynasty, to say that the cultural relics are of the Zhou Dynasty, it is awesome, the Zhou Dynasty was the longest lasting dynasty in ancient times, and Zhou was the creator and original reference of the word "Huaxia". , the Zhou Dynasty passed down 30 generations and 37 kings, totaling more than 800 years.
If you want to say what is the most abundant in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it is of course bronze, the archaeology of the Shang and Zhou dynasties is an important stage of archaeology, and the relatively perfect writing system has enabled mankind to enter the historical period of civilization. The Shang and Zhou dynasties had a splendid and dazzling bronze culture, also known as the Bronze Age.
The jade deer found in Lucheng actually recorded that in the 11th century B.C., King Wu of Zhou led 300 chariots, 3,000 tigers, 45,000 armor soldiers and 700,000 troops of the Shang Dynasty to fight in Muye. The jade deer was covered in words. According to the determination, Yulu does belong to the product of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Then it is strange that it stands to reason that people in the Shang and Zhou dynasties generally have to record important things on the bronze, how can they be engraved on a jade deer, and what does this jade deer portend.
In the previous archaeology, a jade deer in the Western Zhou Dynasty has also been excavated, which is yellow-brown and flat. Stand up. The long horns are stout, divided into two branches to the left and right, the front branches are raised, rolled into two large round holes, and the back branches are hooked backwards. The words of the minister, large ears, the snout protrudes forward, the front chest is protruding, the back is arched, the tail is short, the body is plump, and the hooves and toes are obvious. The body muscles are expressed in two arcs, concise and bright. The hind limbs bend forward, showing the deer looking forward and ready to go.
But the jade deer excavated in Lucheng, in addition to being basically similar to the above-mentioned jade deer morphological characteristics, its color is different, the body is larger, and it is emerald green, and even experts thought it was a piece of jade at the beginning.
How did the things of the Shang and Zhou dynasties appear under Lucheng, some experts speculate that this piece of jade deer that records history may have been stolen by tomb robbers, which may be an imperfect explanation, but how it appeared in Lucheng is still a mystery.
