Chapter 561: Bronzes under the Landslide

After listening to the old glasses' narration, I was directly in the clouds, looking at him blankly, looking at his expression, and several other people didn't seem to understand. The old glasses smiled slightly, took the pen from the glasses man's hand, and drew a heavy circle on the map.

"If I'm right, King Lu's grave should be here!" As he spoke, he gestured to a location on the map. When I looked over, I saw that there were two pencil circles in this place, one was drawn by the eye of the glasses before, and the other was the old glasses.

Now that the location has been decided, what are you waiting for?

Half an hour later, two commercial vehicles were speeding on the highway from Jinan to Linyi, and I deliberately sat next to the old glasses.

"How did you determine the location of King Lu's tomb so quickly? In addition to the knowledge of Kanyuxue, there must be other reasons, right? The old glasses first smiled at me, I didn't want to say, but I couldn't bear my repeated begging, and finally tilted his head and whispered to me: "Thirty years ago, we looked for this ancient tomb, in fact, the location of the ancient tomb was basically determined at that time, but due to some national policies in archaeology, we did not take the initiative to excavate." ”

"Archaeological policy?"

"That's right! Guo Moruo, you should know, right? ”

I nodded: "Great writer, big rascal!" Who doesn't know? ”

The old glasses smiled slightly: "You should only know one thing, but you don't know the other - this old guy still has an identity, that is, an archaeologist, and I have to admit his attainments in archaeology, especially in the study of paleographies - now our research on oracle bone inscriptions is the basis of Guo Moruo's research." ”

I've heard of that.

"But what does Guo Moruo have to do with the ancient tomb of King Lu Yan?" I asked rhetorically.

"Guo Moruo was the Minister of Culture at the time, advocating the excavation of the Ming Tombs, especially the ancient tomb of the Wanli Emperor, which led to the damage of a large number of precious cultural relics and brought an indelible disaster to archaeology.

"Wow! Or was it ordered by Mr. Zhou personally? ”

The old glasses nodded meaningfully: "Actually, this is the right thing to do, the current technology is not mature, especially embroidery and silk fabrics, paper products, and murals in the ancient tomb, once the environment of the ancient tomb is changed, these things will be oxidized instantly, the most famous is the female corpse tomb of Mawangdui, it is said that when it was dug out, people were like falling asleep." ”

"I see—since you can't take the initiative to excavate, why did you look for the ancient tomb of King Lu Yan at that time?"

The old glasses smiled slightly, and the expression on his face became very strange.

"You think we're willing!"

"Are you still forced?"

"Not really...... Thirty years ago...... I remember whether it was 86 or 87, when there was a heavy rain in this area of Linyi, which caused flash floods in the Linnan area and caused landslides in many places......

After this matter was invited, there were suddenly a lot of strange antiques in the antique market in the southwest of Lu, which aroused the idea of the local relevant departments, and later after investigation and identification, these cultural relics were precious cultural relics in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which can be described as priceless, and then they followed the vine and found a series of strange things.

I thought that the case would involve a large-scale tomb robbery case, but who knew that after arresting the initiator of this antique and cultural relics trafficking incident, he found that there was another truth to the matter.

According to their confessions, all the artifacts were "picked up" by them at the site of a landslide.

Let these people be brought to the place of the landslide.

It's a secluded wilderness, nestled between several mountain peaks, with only a strange mountain village – villagers who barely communicate with outsiders, behave strangely, and even have strange surnames.

Everyone's surname is soup.

The point is that the people of this village almost do not intermarry with the outside world - unless the two families live in the village for the rest of their lives, and the village will hold a solemn mountain worship every three years, which is more solemn than the New Year, and the form is similar to that of ancestor worship and tomb sweeping.

To get to this village, you have to pass through the landslide – this year there was a lot of rain, so almost no one passed through it.

It was also a coincidence that the two of them had wanted to go to that strange village to collect mountain goods when they discovered that the landslide was mixed with a large number of ancient bronzes and jades.

At the end of the 80s, the price of pure natural wild animals and mountain goods rose one price a year, but it was very cheap in such a remote mountain village, which can be regarded as speculation!

As a result, the antiques that were exposed after the heavy rain landslide were found.

Later, the local cultural relics department brought people to the scene, carried out rescue excavations, and dug up more than a dozen bronzes and a large number of decaying wood under the hillside, two of which are almost comparable to the famous Simu Wuding, which are also utensils.

When the antiquities workers present opened the lid of one of the bronze vessels, their faces changed in fright—it was filled with skulls.

Open the other one, which is also full of skulls.

Quickly reported to the Provincial Department of Cultural Relics, and then the old glasses and several other workers rushed to the scene, and after investigation, it was determined that this was the burial pit of a large ancient tomb.

Although he couldn't find this ancient tomb at that time, he carefully checked the history and determined that this place might be the ancient tomb of King Lu Yan in the late Spring and Autumn Period.
