Chapter 3 Jade Plate Book of Heaven
Chapter 3 Jade Plate Book of Heaven
The torrential rain that had been held back for a long time finally poured down after a thunderclap, and the curtain of bean-sized raindrops rolled the whole land. On the ground, the steaming waves on the roof were poured by the heavy rain and instantly turned into a faint cloud of white smoke.
"Boom" The huge thunder swept through Ma Jin's office window in the lightning, and the shadowless lamp in the room flashed unsteadily a few times under the influence of lightning. The cigarette ash on the crystal ashtray was already an inch long, and it was hanging weakly in the ashtray. Ma Jin held the magnifying mirror as if he could get into the photo, and some shallow fonts appeared on the edge of the jade plate under Ma Jin's magnifying glass.
It's not the first time Ma Jin has seen this kind of font, it is neither oracle bone script, gold script, nor ancient Khitan script, Mongolian script. It doesn't even have a similar font, it's like a combination of live tadpoles, and legend has it that the text of the Book of Heaven originated more than 4,000 years ago, and was the exclusive text of the priest at that time. From the Central Plains to various places, there are different written records, but the meaning of the words is poorly understood. After ten minutes, Ma Jin tiredly put down the magnifying glass and rubbed his eyelids with his hand and said, "It's incredible, how can it be this kind of heavenly book again!" I found similar words in the ancient corpse of Princess Xiaohe unearthed last year, and Jiadong disappeared inexplicably before that archaeology. It's been more than a year, how could this kind of similar heavenly book appear on the ancient corpse of Qinghai Lake? ”
Xie Changtian looked up at the increasingly heavy thunderstorm and said helplessly: "I am seventy-four years old this year, and I have been engaged in archaeology for nearly fifty years. These fonts are rare characters that I have ever seen, and more than a few years ago, I received a request from Jiadong asking me for the words of the Heavenly Book that I once carved on the Tibetan Heavenly Stone Tablet. Later, I visited Peking University, Zhejiang University and other universities where history professors got some arguments, but unfortunately Jia Dong did not see that the text he deciphered was recognized by the world and disappeared. These photos were taken from the jade plaque in the hands of the ancient corpse in Qinghai, and I could not determine the identity of the deceased through these rubbings. The most important thing is where did the deceased's jade plaque come from? I did an analysis of the clothes left behind by the deceased, and most of them belonged to linen and were divided into only a small amount of cotton silk. In other words, the deceased was not a powerful person during his lifetime. His jade plaque is even more puzzling to me, so it is imperative to find out the cause of his death immediately. ”
"Tuk, tuk, tuk." There was a knock on the door of the office, and Huang Yunxiang walked in with a work log in his hand.
Ma Jin got up and introduced to Xie Changtian: "Old Xie, this is Comrade Huang Yunxiang, the first knife in the twenty-three departments of our academy. He is in charge of the inspection of the ancient corpse this time, Team Leader Huang, has your plan come out? ”
Huang Yunxiang nodded and said, "Through the information we have so far, the whole group has analyzed and put forward three feasible plans......
Xie Changtian laughed loudly: "Hello Team Leader Huang, with all due respect, the plan is just something on paper, and the plan can never keep up with the changes." I think we should find the cause of death from the detection of Qinghai's thousand-year-old corpse as soon as possible, so that we can understand his identity. ”
Ma Jin knew Xie Changtian's temper, he didn't like empty talk the most, so this powerful man only mixed up with the position of curator when he retired. Ma Jin handed a cigarette to Huang Yunxiang and said: "The importance of this inspection work is not trivial, and the integrity of the ancient corpse in Qinghai is the first at home and abroad. If we can solve the mystery of incorruptibility, then we have created a new myth. Xie Lao, you have worked hard all the way, just rest here, and I will personally direct the testing work. ”
Xie Changtian thought for a while and said, "I don't have to worry about your affairs, but I want to talk to Zhang Ning." ”
"No problem, I'll ask Director Wang to call Zhang Ning immediately. Team Leader Huang, let's go prepare for the testing work, don't let Xie Lao wait for a long time. After Ma Jin finished speaking, he walked out of the office with Huang Yunxiang. Huang Yunxiang came to the sterilization room sullenly, he originally wanted to ask Xie Lao for a few technical questions, but he was taken out of the office by Ma Jin, so he had to wait for the opportunity to talk about it later......
The sterilization room is divided into two passages for men and women, Huang Yunxiang took off his clothes and threw them in the box in the dressing room, walked through the seven-meter-long sterilization spray channel and put on a special testing suit. Not long after, Ma Jin and his son Ma Jianguo also came, and Liu Qiang followed behind their father and son, looking very unhappy on his face. The four of them had their own concerns in the testing room, silently changed into sterilization testing suits, and none of them spoke......
"Yo, Curator Ma is also there?" After Hu Mingyu came out of the women's passage, he saw Ma Jin in the testing room and asked in surprise.
Ma Jin smiled: "Everyone is here, I'll talk about it briefly." Zhang Ning, the assistant of Team Leader Huang Yunxiang, she will not participate in the testing work if she has other tasks, and the assistant work of Team Leader Huang is undertaken by Ma Jianguo. If you don't have any opinions, you can start testing, I hope we can solve the mystery of the incorruptibility of the ancient corpse in Qinghai this time! As soon as Ma Jin's voice fell, Hu Mingyu pursed his lips and gently poked Liu Qiang, who was stunned beside him, and the meaning was very clear. If you have Lao Tzu here, you can save your worries......
Just ten minutes ago, Zhang Ning received a call from Wang Housheng outside the sterilization room and said a few words, Zhang Ning and his colleague Hu Mingyu asked strangely: "Xie Lao, he is looking for me, I really don't know how Xie Lao knows me?" ”
Hu Mingyu said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "There must be something good, people are the masters of the archaeological world!" You go quickly, we have the work of testing......" In this way, Zhang Ning walked to Ma Jin's office with a stomach full of questions, knocked on the door and entered, and saw Xie Changtian waiting for her with an expectant face.
"Hehehe, you're Jiadong's daughter, right? Your father and I are both mentor and apprentice and friend, and it has been more than 20 years since we parted in a hurry. The years are unforgiving, old man! Didn't you hear your father talk about me? Xie Changtian asked Zhang Ning to sit down and said with emotion.
Zhang Ning shook his head and said: "Because my mother is not in good health and suffers from neurasthenia all the year round, my father rarely talks about his work at home, and I don't know that Xie Lao and my father still have a friendship between teachers and friends." ”
Xie Changtian said embarrassedly: "Your father can't have a sullen temper with those three sticks, is your mother okay?" ”
Zhang Ning's nose twitched slightly, and his eyes turned red suddenly. got up and said to Xie Changtian: "Old Xie, are you looking for me just to do homework?" ”
Xie Changtian said with an embarrassed face: "Haha, little girl, your temper is really the same as your father." Good! Then let's get straight to the point, after the ancient corpse of Qinghai was excavated, I found half of the broken plaque in the hands of the deceased, I want to invite you to come and have a look. ”
Xie Changtian pointed to the photo on the desk and asked Zhang Ning to come to him. Zhang Ning asked incredulously: "This is the best nephrite, and the calcium magnesium silicate has excellent permeability." The fibrous crystals are also finely arranged, and it is difficult to find flaws with the naked eye, as for the origin of this jade brand, I have to rely on the spectrum instrument to determine it......"
Xie Changtian took the magnifying glass on the table and said, "What I want to know is the ...... of those heavenly books on the award."
