Chapter 3
Hearing the word stele, Qi Yuancheng and Hua Banxue suddenly became interested. One of them specializes in archaeology and the other in language, so they are naturally familiar with ancient writing.
Qi Yuancheng first cleaned up the vines wrapped around the stone, and looked at them from front to back, left and right. Hua Banxue was not ambiguous, took out a small brush and magnifying glass like magic, and also came to the front to watch.
After a while, the two looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, but they didn't say anything. Wang Zhifei was confused by the two of them, and couldn't help asking: "Two masters, what kind of object is this?" ”
"It's strange that there have been inscriptions since the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the shape of this square stone is completely different from the stone tablets of previous dynasties. It seems to be square but not square, and it seems to be round but not round. Strange and strange. Qi Yuancheng first expressed his confusion.
Hua Banxue also answered: "Look at this stone, there are indeed words on it." She traced a few barely visible lines with her fingers, withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and said, "However, this font is simple and thick, but it seems to be attached to a seal, and it is a little difficult to recognize." ”
Qi Yuancheng had a flash of inspiration and said, "Senior Sister Hua's words reminded me. He looked at the stone again and said, "If the font is mixed with the seal, then there is a possibility—"
"Qin carved stone!" Qi Yuancheng and Hua Banxue said in unison. After that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"I can't stand it, I can't stand it. It's just an antiquities appraisal, and you have to cooperate. Wang Zhifei patted his chest, looking unbearable.
Hua Banxue ignored Wang Zhifei's ridicule and said, "It's still Yuancheng who reacts quickly." The Qin Dynasty was the period of transformation of the seal, and the Qin stone did not have so many shapes. In this way, the characters are also easy to read. It should be the word 'hidden stone'. ”
Qi Yuancheng nodded and said, "What Senior Sister said makes sense. But isn't the name of the village we went to Shiyin Village? ”
"Maybe it's a long time, and it will become a stone hidden by false rumors." Hua Banxue said.
After solving their doubts, the three of them felt a sense of accomplishment. After taking a few photos, he was about to go on the road and continue moving forward, when Wang Zhifei stopped again. "I still think it's a little weird," he said. This carved stone is a texture I have never seen before, and I can't explain the presence here. I'll knock a piece down and go back and study it slowly. ”
Qi Yuancheng was about to stop it, but Wang Zhifei's hammer had already smashed on the stone. Unexpectedly, the stone was unexpectedly hard and undamaged.
Qi Yuancheng used the Cultural Relics Protection Law to educate Wang Zhifei and stopped him.
Wang Zhifei repeatedly told forgiveness, saying: "I obey, I obey." When I find out in this century, I will win the award, and I will definitely repair a crystal cover for this stone tablet uncle, right? ”
To Qi Yuancheng's surprise, Hua Banxue said: "I also support Zhifei to study and study well." I had a strange sensation when I touched the stone just now, like—" She frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "—It's hard to describe, like tinnitus." ”
The three of them rested and continued on their way. The mountain road behind is winding and rugged, and it is more and more difficult to walk, but there are no stones similar to the previous carved stones.
"I said Wang Zhifei, are you taking the wrong path again? It's getting dark, why hasn't it arrived yet? Hua Banxue panted and complained.
Wang Zhifei was also sweating profusely, he said: "Senior sister, don't worry, we are engaged in geology, and recognizing roads in the field is definitely a professional." But I seem to have a bit of a misremember. ”
Hua Banxue said: "How do I have a feeling that I should go in this direction." She pointed in the other direction.
The three of them rushed to the hospital in a hurry, so they had to try it with Hua Banxue's point. It didn't take long for the three of them to bypass a boulder, and their vision suddenly cleared. What unfolded before them was a stretch of villages in the valley.
"Look! This is it! Banxue's intuition is too powerful! Wang Zhifei said excitedly.
