Chapter 19: Restoration
"Uncle Zhao, where did you bring the person from, it's too rude." Li Wen was a little unhappy.
"And that Yang Xiuyuan, obviously not a person on the road, but he knows so much, don't you think it's too strange?"
Pei also began to question Yang Xiuyuan's origin a little, and what Li Wen said was not unreasonable.
There was something strange about the air inside, and the smell of gloomy wood mixed with other scents made it feel a little suffocating.
I covered my nose and raised my hand to open the box.
I found that the lock on the top of the box was very similar to the black box, and I remembered the opening method that the man had taught, and finally opened it after a long while.
As soon as the box opened, I pushed the lid up and was taken aback.
There are some silk cloths neatly placed in the box, with bright colors, exquisite embroidery and exquisite patterns.
However, it was opened to allow air convection, and the contents were instantly oxidized and began to fade.
I hurriedly closed the lid again, looked out of the door with a weak heart, and then turned my head to look at the other boxes, thinking: Could it be that this is a treasure left by my ancestors?
But there is a phenomenon just now, I don't dare to open the others, let's wait for the man to decide, after all, these things are what he found to open.
In the other room was the same box, which I didn't open and continued to the next floor.
The two doors on the next floor opened, but inside were weapons.
Basically, they are all bronze, there are all kinds of weapons, and there are many small mechanism models, and I don't know how to take anti-embalming measures, but they are all well preserved.
I'm most interested in the mechanism models, followed by weapons.
Judging from the style of these weapons, they should have spanned several dynasties, such as from the sword, there are obvious changes.
Swords began in the Shang Dynasty and began to be shorter, mostly willow-shaped or acute-triangular, about 20-30 centimeters.
Recalling the history I once studied, it seems that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Sword began to be used as the main combat weapon, and it began to change according to the environment, and by the time of the Han Dynasty, it had exceeded 3 feet.
It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a sword about three feet long.
The shortest bronze sword inside is very similar to Gu Yi's sword, about one foot, that is, about 30 centimeters, in the shape of a willow leaf.
The longest one is about three feet away, the blade is stretched out by two arcs, it is straight, and the angle of the blade is sharply increased, which should be a sword in the Han Dynasty.
I hesitated, couldn't hold back, and picked up the willow-leaf-shaped bronze sword that was somewhat similar to the man's description.
"Hiss~"
The clang was followed by a series of clanging sounds.
I didn't expect that it was just a small sword, which looked very light, but it turned out to be unusually heavy, weighing at least about twenty catties.
One was defenseless and smashed directly on the table, touching some weapons on the table to the ground.
Fortunately, these things are all bronze and have not been broken.
I quickly put down my sword and was about to crouch down to pick it up, when I felt a darkness in the room, and when I looked up, I realized that someone had come in at the door.
It's a man.
The other man bent in, and then just raised his eyes to look around.
I looked at the scattered things on the ground, and my heart felt a little weak.
The man had already stepped closer, his eyes swept over the weapons on the top, and then he said to me, who had put things on the table, "These weapons are not good. ”
I was stunned, a little confused.
The man skimmed the saber at my waist and said, "It's not as good as your sword." ”
I understood this time, and the other party probably thought he was trying to find a weapon inside.
Suddenly, his face was black, he was looking for weapons, and he would definitely not look for this.
"Returned." After the man finished speaking, he dropped two words and turned around and bent out.
I hurriedly dropped what I was holding and chased after him, but when I saw that he was going straight down, and he didn't intend to look around, he shouted, "There are still a few storage rooms, don't you take a look?" ”
"No, you deal with it." The man had reached the end of the stairs as he spoke, and was standing in the doorway turning around, as if waiting for him.
I raised my hand to wipe the black line from my forehead, exhaled a sigh at the crowd that followed, and left with me, pondering what he meant by what he meant.
At the same time, in another tomb between the tomb of the first jack gate they encountered, a bloody corpse was covered in the loess, the ground was full of blood, and there was a trail similar to dragging, which remained in the darkness of the tomb.
"I can't go in, turn around." The man didn't explain why, and turned around halfway through and left.
We were stunned and looked at Zhao Li. Zhao Li also frowned tightly and nodded at us.
We left the tomb and returned to the hotel when it was almost dawn.
I was too excited before, and my spirit was always in a high degree of tension, but I didn't feel anything, but now I feel tired when I come back, and the man doesn't ask about the black box first, and goes into the bathroom with an explanation, and goes to sleep after washing.
When I woke up, it was almost afternoon, and I subconsciously looked at my phone.
I was so hungry that I could only get up groggy.
The door to the guest room was closed, and there was no one in the hall below the hotel, so I thought about going to the kitchen to get something to eat first, but after thinking about it, I turned around and went to the men's room.
Sure enough, the man was sitting on the windowsill with the cloth he had picked up from the tomb last night, looking sideways out the window and seeming to be in a daze.
I walked over, stretched my neck and looked at it, and there was also oracle bone inscription on the cloth, and I was dizzy when I looked at it densely.
"Did you get this last night? What is written? Is there still a map? ”
The man handed me the cloth and said, "Now that the sea is changing, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish." ”
I took the cloth and looked at it, and found that the pattern I saw before the reverse was a simple local topographic map, so I said casually, "Don't be so pessimistic, now that the technology is developed, archaeologists have repaired a lot of ancient terrain distribution, as long as it has been discovered, it should not be difficult to find out." ”
However, this topographic map is too brief, although there are general outline lines, and there are some small print annotations, which should be marked with place names, but if you want to find anything, this map alone is probably no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
The man listened to what I said earlier, but his eyes moved slightly, and I used a straight vernacular, and he had a little trouble listening, but he vaguely heard some central meaning, so he asked, "Is there a way?" ”
It was a bit full of words just now, and now it's a slap in the face to overthrow it.
I coughed, rolled up the map and said, "These are not my strengths, but now there are many people, I may be able to find some special people to see, I have heard that there are old folk artists, there are unique skills, even the remnants of the map can be restored, after all, not all of them are not completely childless, but in this way, I am afraid it is difficult to keep secrets?" ”
The man said, "As much as possible." ”
"Okay, I'll figure it out." The first thing that came to my mind was Zhao Li.
Zhao Li is a family of antiques that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and I heard Pei say that Zhao Li is very interested in certain aspects. I should know a lot about history, and I don't know if there are those who specialize in studying ancient topographic maps, so I will ask him when the time comes, and if it doesn't work, I will see if I can check it with technology.
