Chapter 42: Relief
This jade platform is fifty or sixty meters high, and it is a triangular pyramid like a pyramid, but the highest point does not seem to be a pyramid-like "hat tip", but a small platform, but what is on the platform, I can't see clearly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is not a trace of seam on this jade platform, and it is obviously carved from a huge piece of original stone like a whole mountain, and such a huge project, in terms of productivity at that time, will be hung for at least a hundred years.
There is no variegation in the whole white jade platform, the light transmittance is excellent, the color is warm and white, like clotted fat, there is no slightest impregnation in the soil for so long, but there is a layer of fine dust on the surface, which is obviously the best mutton fat jade.
The sub-jade of mutton fat jade has been soaked in the underground water and soil of the wasteland or oasis under the Kunlun Mountains for millions of years, and the yield is extremely rare, and the palm-sized piece alone is worth a fortune.
I don't know how Ruzhou can have a vein of mutton fat jade, and such a large piece is simply a jade mountain, its value is immeasurable, such a vein, the whole world will never find a second one, I even think that this jade platform is not something that people can complete at all, but a miracle.
Around the jade platform, there are several pieces of obsidian, shining black brilliance under the illumination of the light, and the yellow light path reflected by the copper mirror reflects each other, it is dazzling, the obsidian is arranged in a regular way, although I don't have much research on these, but I have been mixed with Lao Zhao for so long, and I can be regarded as having some knowledge, which seems to be a hexagram of gossip.
In a circle in the center of the jade platform, there are nine bronze figurines, all of whom are life-size, although they have been rusted and covered with turquoise copper stains, but they can still be clearly distinguished, and the patterns on their bodies.
"Heaven is full of water, and the earth is sixty percent of it. The earth is two fires, and the sky is seventy percent. The sky is three wood, and the earth is eighty percent. The earth is four gold, and the sky is ninety. Heaven gives birth to five earth, and the earth is ten percent. Lao Zhao muttered, "This is Fuxi's innate gossip, this Zhou Hao is the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he should use the acquired gossip of his ancestor King Wen of Zhou, what is going on?" ”
"Maybe Hao Lao'er died this week, and he felt ashamed of his ancestors, so he didn't dare to gossip the day after tomorrow." Xiao Zhang and I didn't know what he was talking about, but we still guessed.
Lao Zhao didn't speak, frowned and thought for a while, then beckoned us to take a look at the jade platform. I heard Lao Zhao tell us before that there are too many bizarre things encountered in the tomb, and they are too complicated, and it will take years or even decades to figure out any of them.
We are tomb robbers, and we are not here for archaeology, there is no need to torture ourselves with these things, we can get out one or two Ming artifacts, more important than anything else, don't think too much about everything in the tomb.
The three of us were very excited, and slowly stepped on this unknown miracle of the world, this mutton fat jade is very warm, as soon as we stepped on it, we felt a warm breath from the soles of our feet to the top of our heads, warm and very pleasant.
This jade step must have been polished, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for us to gain a foothold on this smooth jade, let alone go up.
I stretched out my hand and gently rubbed the jade railing next to the steps, only to feel that the touch was extremely tender, just like a baby's skin, Xiao Zhang even pounced directly, hugged the jade railing and kissed it twice, his face was red with excitement, his chest rose and fell violently, and I could even hear his heartbeat "dong dong", "You said that if this thing is sold out, how many packs of spicy strips should be bought!" ”
"If this stone platform can be sold out, it will be no problem to buy the entire Silicon Valley and turn it into a spicy noodle factory, and all of them will produce spicy noodles for you." Lao Zhao and I both teased.
"Or, or let's cut it off and take it away." Xiao Zhang suddenly proposed.
"Don't do it, this thing is a national treasure no matter how you say it, just chisel it down like this, I can't do this kind of lack of virtue anyway, I want to chisel you." I really can't bear to destroy this artistic treasure that the ancient working people exchanged for their blood and sweat, "Such a perfect thing, even if it is chiseled off a small piece, can be regarded as a loss for all mankind, and we can't become sinners through the ages because of such a small profit in front of us." ”
"Don't go online like this at every turn, as if my ideology and morality are corrupt, if you are really morally noble, report this amazing discovery to the country, and use your personal sacrifice in exchange for the reappearance of a great miracle of my Chinese nation, rest assured, although you are dead, but forever live in our hearts, if you are shot, we will go to your grave every New Year's holiday."
"Don't forget, we're grasshoppers on a rope, and if I get shot, do you think you two will be able to escape?" While I was arguing with Xiao Zhang, my heart was also very sad, and I felt a deep regret for this Baiyutai, this great project comparable to the Great Wall can only be buried in this uninhabited mountain, and it will eventually be buried forever, thinking of this, I can't help but sigh.
"Sigh, you can't bear this stone platform?" Lao Zhao smiled at me.
"Well," I nodded, and sighed again, "it's a shame that such a peerless treasure can only sleep here forever." ”
"I also had this mentality of yours when I first entered the tomb robbery industry, but after seeing it a lot, I got used to it," Lao Zhao patted me on the shoulder and comforted me, "If this jade platform has life, it will definitely not be discovered, and it will definitely choose to sleep here, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, because it carries too many secrets, and these secrets should not be known by anyone." ”
"You're not a jade platform, how can you know what this jade platform thinks?" Xiao Zhang came with a sentence "Zi Fei Fish, the joy of knowing fish".
"Trust me, I understand." Lao Zhao's eyes were a little complicated, as if he was thinking, and he seemed to be recalling something.
"You mean you often encounter such miracles?" I was amazed. "It's not very often, but I've seen it twice, although it's not so big, but it's also ingenious to the point of incredible, that time when I poured a bucket of the Western Zhou Dynasty, I dug out a piece of jade, guess what, it's so palm-sized piece of jade, stunned to engrave two or three thousand words, the word is small, with a general magnifying glass can not be seen clearly, I am now wondering how they carved it, some people say that it is not carved by people at all, but the book of the gods.
I just pondered like that, I have 5,000 years of civilization in China, but there are only 2,500 years of historical records, and the remaining 2,500 years can only be seen from the inscriptions on the bronzes and pottery that people have passed on by word of mouth and from the archaeology, as for the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it is even more in the era of legends, an era of gods and demons dancing, in that era, there have been too many strange things that have happened, because the age is too old, there is no way to verify its authenticity, And these things are also mixed with water in the legend, but no matter how much water is mixed with water, it is not pure water after all, and we can always get a glimpse of some essential things from it, as far as these things we find, not to mention ancient times, even modern technology, do you think it can be made? ”
"Those legends are so, you won't believe them all, will you?" I think it's a little funny, about the legend of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, I heard it since I was a child, and I called for wind and rain at every turn, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, which is too exaggerated.
"I told you before that there are zongzi in this world, do you believe it?" Lao Zhao gave me a big white eye, and I was speechless.
"Is it chiseled or not? Lao Zhao just relies on your words. The two of us looked at Lao Zhao with our eyes, waiting for his decision.
"Forget it," Lao Zhao patted the jade platform with his hand, revealing a more mysterious smile, "Although this jade platform can be regarded as a miracle, it is nothing compared to the 'good thing' I said." ”
Xiao Zhang and I swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time when we heard this, almost didn't believe our ears, the shock that Yutai gave me was no less than the atomic bomb explosion, if this is nothing, then what is the "good thing" in Lao Zhao's mouth?
"That's right, Lao Zhao. I've always forgotten to ask, what you say is that 'good thing', and it's time to tell us about it. Xiao Zhang and I got to Lao Zhao's side and asked.
"Don't worry, you two, you will know for yourself when the time comes, and you will never believe what I say now, that is a great benefit, and everything in this world is insignificant compared to that benefit." Lao Zhao shook his head.
Xiao Zhang's curiosity and I have been aroused, how could we be prevaricated by his two confused words? Just wanted to ask again, but Lao Zhao had already turned his back to study the relief on the jade platform.
I cursed in my heart and walked over, quickly attracted by the content of the relief.
