"This thing could be resin." Liu Ru said as she cleaned her eyebrows: "If it takes enough time, this may also turn into amber." ”

"Resin?" The fat man didn't understand, and then asked, "No, why is there still resin in ancient times?" ”

"Babble......" Liu Rumei was confused by the fat man's words, she didn't understand why there could be no resin in ancient times.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was the fat man who would be mistaken, so I explained: "Fat man, the resin that Koyanagi said is the gum on the tree, gum rosin and something like that." ”

"Oh." The fat man suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Understood, this may be a big lump of gum." ”

Liu Rumei realized that the fat man had just misunderstood, so she continued: "That's right, it's gum." ”

"I thought it was a gem, but it turned out to be just a glue lump...... the fat man pouted, a little depressed, and simply sat on the ground after speaking.

"You know six." I patted the fat man on the shoulder and said to him: "Qin bricks and Han tiles are all made of soil, which one is not a national treasure." ”

When the fat man heard me say this, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and he sat on the ground and looked at the "giant egg" in front of him and said, "Well, this thing can be worth a lot of money." ”

"Money, you TM only know money, you are also a rich second generation, you can't think of something meaningful......" I couldn't laugh or cry, in the eyes of the fat man, everything has to be measured by money.

"Stop." The fat man saw that I was going to be verbose again, gestured to me, and then looked back at Wen Xianbao, who had already walked a long way, and then raised his chin in that direction, and whispered, "Waste, do you see it?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded.

"He seems to know something." The fat man said with a frown, and scratched his head with his hand. The fat man is such a person, he looks very rough, but he is actually very careful, and he has taken Wen Xianbao's every move in his eyes.

"Hmm."

"Then I'll go and have a look." As he spoke, the fat man handed me the flashlight, got up from the ground and walked quietly in the direction of Wen Xianbao.

Because I also wanted to know what Wen Xianbao was going to do, I didn't stop the fat man, but just whispered: "Be careful, don't fall into the pit again." ”

"Get out of ......" The fat man rolled his eyes and walked away.

Liu Rumei, who was busy cleaning up on the side, should have heard our conversation, but she never said anything, just quietly busy with the work at hand. Seeing that she was silent, I couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyanagi, do you also know something?" ”

The brush in Liu Rumei's hand paused, she looked up at me, thought about it, and whispered, "I know a little." ”

I heard her say this and tried to ask, "Can you say that?" ”

At this time, Liu Rumei also turned his head to look in the direction where the fat man left, and then whispered: "I don't know the specifics, but this thing should also be something from that period." ”

"That period...... You mean the Feathered Humans? I groaned for a moment and asked her.

"Hmm." Liu Rumei nodded.

I found myself too ignorant of the Feather Clan, not to mention the official history, and even the folklore was almost ignorant of it. Obviously, Liu Rumei is much better than me in this regard, maybe she did her homework before she came, anyway, I still want to hear what she has to say first, so I then asked: "Xiaoliu, can you tell me about the Feather Human Clan?" ”

"Yes." Liu Rumei readily agreed, and the work in her hand did not stop, while cleaning up the ups and downs on the surface of the "Dome", she said to me: "Actually, I don't know much, I did some homework before I came, mainly some folklore. ”

Liu Rumei said this, I can understand, although the Chinese civilization is up and down for 5,000 years, but the real history is not so long, thousands of years ago the story can leave some legends, it is already precious, and after a long time, even the legend has gradually disappeared.

Liu Rumei looked at me and nodded, and asked, "Do you know what the Feather Human Clan did in ancient times?" ”

Through the conversation with my grandfather and the decipherment of the words on the clay pot, I probably knew that the Feather People should be acting as craftsmen or sacrifices. But I wasn't sure, so I simply shook my head and said I didn't know.

Liu Rumei couldn't hear my answer, and didn't ask questions, and continued: "Legend has it that there are eighty-one tribes in Chiyou, and Chiyou is warlike, most of these tribes are barbarians who advocate force, and the Yuren are only one, in which they are about to serve as priests and technicians. It is said that the Yu people are favored by the heavens, are good at using water and fire, can make utensils, communicate the will of heaven, and control life and death, which means that they are a type of people who have mastered knowledge and technology......"

What she said was roughly the same as I had guessed, that the Feathered Humans had served as artisans or priests in ancient societies. In these ancient myths and legends, this kind of people are always endowed with the power to reach the heavens and the earth, which should actually be exaggerated, but it is undeniable that this kind of people do promote the process of civilization.

"Of course, these are all legends recorded in ancient books, and they are really a bit mysterious, and it is not until we see those petroglyphs that I can be sure that the Feather People really existed." Liu Rumei looked at me and nodded, and then said: "Combined with what I saw on the rock paintings, some legends seem more mysterious. ”

"You mean the resurrection?"

"Hmm." Liu Rumei paused and thought about it again, and then asked me: "Qin Fen, do you believe in bringing the dead back to life?" ”

"This ......"

Listening to her serious question, I didn't know how to answer for a while. In my mind, such a thing as resurrection is a myth and legend, but in view of the news of some shocks and rescues, my definition of resurrection has changed, in a sense, shock may be death for the ancients, and after waking up after shock, it may be considered a miracle. After thinking about this, I told Liu Rumei my opinion, and she agreed after listening to it, she said: "Legend has it that the Feather People exchange death for life, and through some kind of ritual, they can resurrect the dead, and I think those rock paintings may depict such a scene." ”

"Death for life?" I repeated it, and then said, "Animal sacrifices have existed since ancient times, but it is too unscientific to say that one life can be resurrected in exchange for another." ”

"I don't know." Liu Rumei shook her head, and then said, "But this thing in front of you is probably also related to resurrection." ”

"In sight? Do you mean this? I asked, pointing to the "Dome" in front of me.

Liu Rumei nodded, and the movements in her hands stopped, but her next words made me unable to understand again.

"Legend has it that the feather people worship the Vermilion Bird, and some people say that it is the phoenix, in short, it is to worship oviparous, thinking that the egg is chaotic, and life and death can be exchanged, and this thing in front of us, I think it should be the egg for sacrifice."

"Eggs?"

"yes, I think it's an egg." Liu Rumei nodded, and then said: "Eggs are divided into life and death, and this may be a dead egg." ”

"Dead eggs?"

"I just saw what's inside, and it basically validates my guess. According to the ancient texts, the dead were placed in dead eggs to survive, and I think it probably meant that the dead people were wrapped in resin and mummified. ”

"You mean, there's a corpse in there?"

"Yes."

I heard her say this, and I thought it made sense, but I always felt that something was not right, and after thinking about it, I asked: "If this is the case, then isn't it that the one in front of me has not been resurrected, and the dead are still wrapped in it, or at least this resurrection is a failure." ”

"It's not." Liu Rumei shook his head and said, "It should be said that every resurrection will fail." ”

"Huh?" I was surprised and asked, "What's the point of that?" ”

Liu Rumei then shook her head, indicating that she hadn't thought it through. Then we both fell into deep thought, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of fine brushes brushing the dust.

According to my thoughts, the resurrection ritual is just a mummy, and if this is the case, then there should be no legend of the resurrection. For example, Zhang San died and needed to be resurrected, but he just made a mummy of Zhang San, and the people who paid attention to Zhang San's resurrection would definitely not do it, this is not the Egyptian pharaoh, who said that he would be resurrected after a thousand years, and he could deceive the people in front of him. Death for life, if it can't be done on the spot, it is estimated that the people waiting to see the resurrection in the audience will flip the table in various ways.

"Boom ......"

Just when I was thinking nonsense, a muffled sound came, I looked at it, only to see a burst of smoke and dust billowing in front of me, and I couldn't help but complain: "Rub, you won't let me be right." ”

"Let's go check it out." Liu Rumei had already stood up as she spoke, took a flashlight from my hand, and then ran over there quickly.

I followed closely behind with a flashlight, shouting as I ran, "Something happened." ”

"Ahem......" The fat man's cough came, and he seemed to be choked by the dust again, coughing and saying, "It's okay, I'm opening the door with Team Wen." ”

"Open the door?" Liu Rumei and I were surprised, how could there be a door in this cave. When we ran to the place of the incident, we realized what the fat man meant by the door. The dust that flew up was not too much, so the sight was quite good, and at this time the fat man was holding a sapper shovel in one hand and covering his mouth and nose with the other, coughing constantly. Behind him, Wen Xianbao also covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and used a strong flashlight to shine on the wall of the cave on one side. There was a hole in the wall of the cave, which was not too big, and the dust flew out of it, and you could see what seemed to be on the ground below.

"What kind of door is this?"

The dust soon dispersed, and as I spoke, I stepped forward, and saw a few logs and some crushed clods of gravel lying on the ground.

"It wasn't like this before I knocked it down, and it was in the shape of a door just now." The fat man had already stepped forward, looked at the fragments on the ground and said, "But this wood is quite strong, you can come and see what kind of wood this is, can you drive beads." ”

“……”

I'm a little speechless, when has this been the fat man hasn't forgotten to find the wooden car beads.

"Since they're all here, let's go in and have a look." Wen Xianbao had already come over at this time and was the first to get into the hole.

"Let's go."

We saw that Wen Xianbao had already gone in, and we didn't hesitate to follow in. When I went in, I found that the cave was much more spacious, and when I looked back, I saw the wood and gravel on the ground, and the traces left on the cave wall, and the entrance of the cave should have been sealed from the outside. In other words, the cave where the "giant egg" was just now should have been sealed from the outside by these wooden stones, but the fat man pushed it apart from the inside.
