Seeing this vision, I couldn't help but laugh at him: "Uncle Xia, you are really a hand of God, the stone tablet was touched by you like this, and the situation changed in an instant. ”

How could Professor Xia not tell that I was joking, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was secretly smug.

"Sen, seriously, this stele is weird!" Professor Xia's expression darkened.

"What's weird?" I wondered.

"Hahaha! It feels great in the hand! Professor Xia then laughed and said, "Sen, look at you're nervous. ”

"Dare you to laugh with me," I smiled helplessly, "Uncle Xia, without further ado, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Hmm." He nodded.

......

For a hard-core archaeologist like Professor Xia, it seems that the buildings on our west side have long been gone; When I was in the gazebo, I noticed that he was visiting from time to time, probably because of the soaked clothes that we had just escaped from the lake.

If I had to use one word to describe this place, I think it would be "show"; A little more artistic conception, that is "Lingxiu".

Of course, the show is the scenery, and the strange is the object.

We walked along a loess dirt road about 2 meters wide that led to the outside of the palace wall, and two stone carved lampstands were built every 10 meters with a height of about 3 meters.

These lampstands are square in shape and carved with symmetrical butterfly-like ornaments, on which a six-sided lotus platform is attached, then stacked in a scale reduced by 1/4 of its structure, and then carved on top of it a square stone frame with lamps inside, and finally covered with a four-cornered pyramidal stone cover.

The lights glowed with a yellowish glow, and a swarm of green moths surrounded them, forming a touch of embellishment.

As you walk forward, you will see clusters of green bamboos in the middle of the road, their branches and foliage are extensive, towering into the clouds, and each plant needs to be surrounded by one person.

It's the first time I've seen such a big bamboo, and they're blue bamboos, but they grow so groundbreakingly.

Professor Xia stepped forward and tapped it a few times, and there was a crisp sound like spring water coming out of the bamboo, which was extremely beautiful.

"Uncle Xia, what do you think?" When I saw him withdraw his hand, I inquired about him.

"I've never seen anything like this in my life, they grow against the sky, and I guess it has something to do with the soil." Professor Xia said, bending down to twist the soil at the bottom of the bamboo and sniffing it.

"How?" I wondered.

"It's rammed earth left over from the building, nothing special!" "However, this may be to strengthen the foundation of the bamboo, which was buried later, and I have to dig a few feet of soil to find out the main nutrient supply for the growth of these bamboos." ”

"Forget it," I shook my head and said, "Uncle Xia, we don't have that much time to delay, so let's put this matter on hold for now." ”

"Hmm." He agreed, but he seemed reluctant, and it was evident from the cuffs he had rolled up that he was desperate to test every conjecture.

......

As we got closer and closer to the palace, a stone arch bridge appeared in front of us, perhaps because we had not paid attention to it at first, but now it was so eye-catching.

The stone arch bridge of the rainbow, it spans about 10 meters on both sides. Regarding its abruptness, Professor Xia and I only understood the mystery when we went up to the bridge-

There was a huge sinkhole under the bridge, with a clear ravine, and hot lava gushing at the bottom.

It can be seen that this underground palace digs deep and hides hidden.

"Sen, the polarization here is so severe!" While Professor Xia was amazed by the spectacle, he was also puzzled by the spectacle.

I think the "polarization" in Professor Xia's mouth is that when we are on the stone bridge of this lava sinkhole, we don't feel the heat of baking at all, but the temperature here is exactly the same as that around us.

I can't explain this because it's unscientific.

When Professor Xia leaned down with his hands on the railing to look down, I said to him, "Uncle Xia, there are some things that can't be explained, so let's leave some mystery to history - from the moment we entered the underground palace, our worldview has ceased to exist. ”

Hearing this, Professor Xia turned his head to look at me: "Well, this place is indeed unpredictable, we need to be careful!" Let's move on. ”

......

Across the stone arch bridge, we came to the outside of the palace walls. This defensive wall is not high, it is made of rammed earth, with a triangular canopy and covered with glazed tiles.

Pacing along the city walls, we came to the towering gates. It is arched and is a typical rudge building with gray walls and blue tiles.

"Wow!" Professor Xia sighed, "Sen, what do you see at the top of it?" ”

Seeing Professor Xia so amazed, I looked up and saw that there was a golden canopy on the top of the stone gate wall, and there seemed to be a pearl inside, emitting purple smoke.

"Uncle Xia, what is that bead?" I lowered my head and asked him.

"To me, it's like a bead of dust." Professor Xia's expression was extremely complicated.

"Dust beads?" His answer made me a little unable to close my mouth, and my teeth couldn't help but chatter.

It is said that it is the first treasure in the world, with the miraculous effect of resurrecting the dead, the reincarnation of yin and yang, and making mortals feather and ascend to immortals.

It was first published in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and was acquired by the 32nd monarch of the Shang Dynasty and named after it.

As for its miraculous effects, it is rumored that King Wen once recorded it in the Book of Heaven, but these secrets have always been in the hands of the powerful.

The common problem of the kings of the past is that they have become immortals, live forever, and their territory will be fixed for thousands of years; However, how is the world's first treasure not coveted by tens of thousands of people, this artifact will flow to the people with the war, and finally become a legend.

I think the war at that time was more or less provoked by this pearl.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" After some thought, I talked to him.

"Maybe it's just that coincidence?" Professor Xia's expression revealed a strange glimmer.

"Why do you think this orb is here?" Professor Xia has already decided that I think he knows more than I do, so I wondered.

"Sen, let's not talk about why it's here, I'll tell you my opinion first," Professor Xia took a deep breath, as if he was about to pour out a long article to me, "Sen, do you know, when I was in the research institute, in addition to studying paleontology and the secret history of emperors, I also had a hobby. ”

"What is it?" I asked.

"Treasure Appreciation!" Professor Xia said with a smug smile.

"Together!" I chimed in.

"No, no, no," Professor Xia shook his head vigorously, "This treasure is not another treasure." ”

"Hey, what do you mean?" I was even more confused.

"Actually, most of the treasures on the market are based on its commercial value, and my appreciation is to study its attributes and chronological influence." Professor Xia said.

"Then what you mean by this is that you have more references and cognitions of this dust bead?" He nodded silently and gestured to me.

"Sen, in fact, I forgot to tell you that about the history of the pre-Qin period, what I care about most is this magical bead. I've been searching for it many times before, but unfortunately it seems to be just a mystery left in the world. Professor Xia looked at me, "I didn't expect it!" It's in this dungeon! ”

"Ahem," I didn't seem to want to spoil him, but I still didn't vomit unpleasantly, "Uncle Xia, how can you determine that it is, maybe it's just a bead similar to it." ”

"That's because ......"

Professor Xia said, looking up again with a happy expression.

He stopped there, and I think he probably wanted to reconfirm.
