Gao Moli's words were like thunder in the clear sky, and I hurriedly took the photo in front of me and looked at it carefully with a frown.

The skeleton leaned against the tomb wall in a strange posture, and the finger bones of one of its hands were neatly placed aside, presumably by Professor Kang's tidying up. The palm of the corpse holds a jade pendant similar to the color of the bone, the surface of the jade pendant is as translucent as glass, and under closer inspection, it is found that its shape is the shape of a butterfly, with its wings stretched out, ready to fly.

The shape of this jade pendant is indeed very similar to the one left by the second uncle to the black cow! But there is still a certain difference between the two: the black bull's piece has blood! There was nothing on the palm of the corpse bone, and the whole was crystal clear and white as fat.

I said to Gao Moli: "These two pieces of jade pendant may just be the same shape, and there are obvious differences between them: the one of the black bull has blood, and this one does not. ”

Gao Moli pondered for a moment and replied, "Maybe the origin is different. ”

Two jade pendants with the same shape, one appeared in the tomb of King Liang of the Western Han Dynasty, and the other did not know where the second uncle got it. Could there be a connection between the two?

I remember very well that after the excavation of the No. 1 pit, the Institute of Archaeology arranged for Professor Kang to hold a press conference, at which Professor Kang declared: The main tomb of King Liang is well preserved and there is no trace of theft!

However, the strange bones in the main burial chamber, as well as the jade pendant with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, all show that the main burial chamber was once visited by tomb robbers.

I muttered puzzled, "Why did Professor Kang hide the truth? ”

"Look what's in the transcript." Gao Moli said, picked up Professor Kang's manuscript transcript, and looked at it at a glance.

I'm going to pick up a firm book that I'm hiding in my file bag, and it's a yellowed one that reads: Carbon-14 Bone Age Test Sheet. The target of the test was a right thumb phalanx, and the result was: about 430 to 470 years ago!

Since the proportion of carbon isotopes in nature has always been stable, one can estimate the approximate age of an artifact by pouring its carbon-14 content. The method of estimating the age based on the carbon-14 content is extremely popular in the archaeological field, and although it is not possible to calculate the specific year, it can roughly locate the age of the ancient corpse.

I took a look at the date of submission: October 1993. According to the identification results, the year to which the ancient corpse belongs should be between 1521 and 1566, I quickly searched for the corresponding historical year in my mind, and found that this time period corresponds to the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty!

I couldn't wait to say to Gao Moli: "That ancient corpse with a jade pendant in his hand is actually from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Well, it's recorded in Kang Renwu's archaeological records." Gao Moli quickly glanced at the last page, and said firmly: "There are strange characters on that butterfly jade pendant!" ”

It only took me time to read a report card, and Gao Moli read all the archaeological records. He pulled out a piece of paper with strange symbols and handed it to me.

I hurriedly looked at it, and saw that there was not a single word on the paper, and there were two lines of strangely shaped symbols in the center, with occasional traces of heavy corrections.

I glanced up at the desk, and a picture seemed to emerge in front of me: in the dead of night, with a ghostly lamp on the desk, Professor Kang was sitting in front of the bookcase, holding the jade pendant in his hand, and pondered and looked at it repeatedly. Occasionally, the jade pendant moved under the lamp, and some strange symbols were reflected on the case as if by magic. Professor Kang was so excited that he quickly took out a piece of white paper, helped his glasses, held a butterfly jade pendant in one hand, and held a pen in the other hand to carefully draw it. Others are dazzled, and there are occasional mistakes in the drawing, and he immediately corrects them when he finds them. These complex and alternative symbols, he must have depicted for a long time......

I took out the paper with the black bull jade pendant symbol from my pocket and handed it to Gao Moli. Gao Moli unfolded it and put it side by side with the one in my hand, and it was obvious that the symbols on these two sheets of paper were exactly the same!

Gao Moli and I glanced at each other and said in surprise: "It's so strange, the content on these two butterfly jade pendants is the same!" ”

Gao Moli nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "The reason why Kang Renwu concealed the theft of the main tomb from the outside world is this butterfly jade pendant. ”

I subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" ”

Gao Moli pointed to the pile of yellowed materials and said slowly: "It is written in the archaeological record. ”

I picked up the cumbersome pages of paper again, and looked at them patiently.

It turned out that these pieces of paper were part of his many transcripts, and were about the remains of tomb robbers in the tomb.

Professor Kang recorded his entire investigation process and the direction of his thinking here. After reading it, I have a preliminary understanding of this matter.

Professor Kang presided over the discovery of the No. 1 main tomb of King Liang's tomb, and accidentally found a corpse in a hidden corner, which had been attacked by a hidden arrow and died. After investigation and research, there was no mechanism in the tomb of King Liang, so the fatal arrow on the corpse should have come from his companions.

Professor Kang also found that the corpse was holding a butterfly jade pendant in his hand, at first, he just thought that this butterfly jade pendant was very weird, how could a tomb robber carry a jade pendant with him? So Professor Kang checked everywhere and finally discovered a secret from the scattered historical records: this butterfly jade pendant was the identity credential of a member of a secret organization in the Ming Dynasty, and the members of this organization were extremely rare, and they were all top warlocks. They were elusive and directly ordered by Emperor Jiajing, and no one knew the purpose of their existence.

According to the age of the corpse and the large amount of lead contained in its bones, it can be inferred that he should be a warlock who took pills all year round during the Jiajing period. This discovery just supports Professor Kang's speculation.

In the main tomb of the princes of the Western Han Dynasty, a warlock of the Ming Dynasty appeared, and this discovery was no less sensational than opening the tomb of King Liang. Professor Kang had planned to write a report to make the findings public.

However, by accident, Professor Kang discovers a strange symbol hidden in the belly of a butterfly. He had a vague sense that the symbols were supposed to convey a message that could be crucial.

The bones of a warlock of the Ming Dynasty appeared in the tomb of King Liang, and in the tomb of King Liang, there was also the crucial gold medal of the double beast devouring horse pattern! Is there a connection between the two?

Professor Kang destroyed the written report, decided to conceal the facts, and secretly figured out the contents of the butterfly's belly.

He searched for several years, but still found nothing.

Later, Professor Kang's mysterious organization completely replaced the archaeologists, and Professor Kang was in a lonely situation. In order to find the gold medal in the tomb of the Yizhou Thorn first, he must race against time to rush to Black Tiger Mountain.

In a hurry to leave home, he concluded that new members of the Order would come to his house to search, so he hid the secret in a wooden box and buried it underground.
