I thought about the whole thing next to me, Zhu Qi looked sloppy and vulgar, but this person acted without leakage, and handed over the northern area to Tian Wanqing, and the intervention of the archaeological team directly put an end to the thoughts of tomb robbers, and made sure that he could grasp and know the origin of any artifact in the ancient tomb for the first time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And hinting at the Eastern District to Jia Yan, part of this is to take care of Jia Da's only son, but more importantly, it is to hand over the Eastern District tombs to a person he trusts, and leave Jia Yan here, the main purpose is to let Jia Yan help him collect news about the noble tombs.

Who would have thought that there is another huge group of ancient tombs under Xinyu Village, which is only about ten kilometers away from the North District.

"What did you find?" Zhu Qi asked.

Jia Yan called his subordinates to give a few orders, his subordinates nodded and turned to walk out, Jia Yan Di Zhu Qi said: "Seventh Master, I have personally investigated every tomb below, it is certain that this place is the same as the North District, it belongs to the civilian cemetery, but there are also a few prominent tombs, I found something in one of the ancient tombs that may be related to the whereabouts of the noble tombs." ”

Jia Yan's subordinates turned back, holding a wooden box in their hands, and after Jia Yan opened it, he took out two well-preserved bronze jue from inside, which were sharp weapons in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The shape of the bronze jue is very elegant and simple, the whole utensil has a round belly, there is a launder at the front end of the mouth on one side, a pointed tail at the back, there is a column between the launder and the mouth, there is a handle on the side of the abdomen, and there are three conical long feet below.

There are three layers of cloud and thunder ornamentation, complex and exquisite, there are inscriptions on the front of the two bronze jue, Jia Yan handed the bronze jue to Zhu Qi and said that the owner of this artifact is an official of the state of Qiu, and the official position and name are no longer verifiable, but the content of the inscription records that this person was responsible for the construction of the mausoleum of the monarch of the state of Qiu.

The inscription faithfully describes the grandeur and vastness of the mausoleum, and uses a phrase such as the number of days to describe the number of burials.

"Here, this is the sentence, headed by Jiulong Cheng Ruizun, the seventh master, it can be seen that the thing you have been looking for is indeed in the monarch's mausoleum." Jia Yan continued in great detail. "I thought that since this person was an overseer, most of them would leave the whereabouts of the location of the mausoleum, and I carefully examined everything in this person's tomb next to each other, but unfortunately there was no mention of the monarch's mausoleum except for the mention of the burial goods."

"After a long time, you found this thing." Zhu Qi was a little disappointed. "Of course I know that the real Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun is in the monarch's mausoleum, this obvious thing still needs to be proven?"

"Seventh Master, don't be impatient for a while, this matter is not over yet." Jia Yan asked his subordinates to hand over a pot of water, poured it into the bronze statue, and then summoned his subordinates to turn off the lights in the tomb.

The whole burial chamber was pitch black, but suddenly a faint yellow light flashed, gradually outlining the outline of the bronze statue, we were surprised, this seemingly ordinary bronze statue is still so mysterious, it is actually inlaid with bronze and topaz, and the night pearl is ground into powder, evenly smeared on the topaz.

When there is no light, it glows breathtakingly.

"Seventh Master, you're optimistic."

Jia Yan said as he put the two bronze lords together, and in the middle of the place, a coffin pattern magically appeared, and from the size and style of the coffin, it was immediately recognizable that it was used by the king.

The coffin loomed in the bronze statue filled with water, and when the lights came back on, the coffin immediately disappeared without a trace, and the bronze jue no longer glowed.

"This is what I found by accident, this is the first time I have seen the coffin of the monarch of the kingdom of Qiu, since this person is the supervisor of the mausoleum, he should know the location of the mausoleum, since the coffin is engraved on the bronze statue, I wonder what mystery there should be, but I am stupid and really can't think of it."

"It seems that Chaoge's speculation is correct." Ying Yuan said thoughtfully.

I nodded silently, Jia Yan guessed correctly, the owner of the bronze jue actually wanted to tell the whereabouts of the mausoleum, but in a very obscure way, the bronze jue is a ritual weapon, and the reason why it was chosen in the jue is because the jue represents the identity and title of the nobleman, and it is implying that it symbolizes the monarch.

The bronze jue is a wine vessel again, after pouring the wine in, it is surrounded by translucent topaz, under the reflection of the night pearl powder, any wine becomes yellow, and it looks turbid, which happens to mean the turbid river, which is now the Yellow River that we all know.

The coffin pattern that appeared was drowned in wine, and this seemingly ordinary bronze lord was actually delivering a message.

Yu Gong collapsed and buried the river.

In this way, this person revealed the location of the tomb of the monarch of the kingdom of Qiu.

"That's all?" Zhu Qi asked expressionlessly, he hadn't told the truth until now, it seemed that he didn't plan to let Jia Yan know too much.

"Seventh Master, if there were only these two bronze statues, I wouldn't send someone to disturb you, and then I found out one more thing, which stumped me, and after thinking about it, it was up to you to decide."

"What else?"

Jia Yan beckoned, and the person standing next to him handed another box, and after opening it, there was a golden golden halberd inside, Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback when he saw it: "This thing was also found in the ancient tomb?" ”

"It stands to reason that this thing should indeed be in the ancient tomb, but this is where the matter is strange."

"What's wrong Zhiqiu? Isn't it just a golden halberd weapon, why are you so surprised? Tian Ji asked.

"Where is this an ordinary weapon, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the halberd is a symbol of a country's armed forces, and the number of halberds represents the strength of the country." Tian Wanqing said.

"There is it in the Warring States Policy, five thousand miles in Chu today, with a million halberds, and the capital of this overlord is also, the so-called one million halberds show that Chu had a strong army at that time, which was enough to unite other countries to compete with Qin." Ye Zhiqiu explained beside him.

"The country of Yu is not a strong country, this is such a big style, and the golden halberd is used to fight?!" Tian Ji scratched his head in surprise.

"The halberd represents force, and the golden halberd represents the authority of the Son of Heaven, this thing is not a weapon for war, but a sharp weapon that only the Son of Heaven can use." Xue Xinrou said.

"At that time, the Son of Heaven was the Son of Zhou, why did the Golden Halberd of the Son of Heaven appear in the Kingdom of Yu?" I'm confused too. "The king of the kingdom of Yu is just a prince and king who has been divided, and owning the golden halberd without permission is like a transgression of rebellion."

"This golden halberd has a provenance, and it is recorded in the inscription of the bronze jue, which is related to the conquest of Huaiyi by the monarch of the State of Yu at that time, and later assisted Zhou Tianzi to divert the Yellow River, and these two great merits were rewarded by Zhou Tianzi with the gift of nine tins." Jia Yan explained.

"Wait a minute, what is the origin of this Jiuxi?" Tian Ji was puzzled.

I was stunned and looked at the golden halberd in Jia Yan's hand again, I didn't expect the little monarch of the Kingdom of Yu to get such a big honor, Jiuxi is the ancient Son of Heaven to the princes, ministers have nine kinds of ceremonial vessels, is the highest courtesy, these ritual vessels are usually only used by the Son of Heaven, and the formal meaning of the reward is far greater than the use value.

And these nine special gifts are:

Chariots and horses, clothes, music, Zhu Hu, Na Ma, Tiger Ben, axes, bows and arrows, and beards.

These nine ritual vessels represent different meanings, such as chariots and horses represent high morality, while clothes represent those who can appease the people, and the golden halberd is the tiger ben in the nine tins, and the book of rites says that those who can repel evil give the tiger ben.

Reward the gate guards with 300 Tiger Guards, and the weapons of these Tiger Guards are golden halberds.

"Where did you get this?" After explaining to Tian Ji, I hurriedly asked.

"It's strange to say, the inscription on the bronze jue mentions that the nine tin given by Zhou Tianzi was buried with the nine dragon Cheng Ruizun and other burial goods and the coffin of the monarch, theoretically the source of the golden halberd in the nine tin should be the location of the mausoleum, but this thing was not found in the tomb."

"Where is that?" Gong Jue asked.

"From here to the east on the Loess Ridge." Jia Yan's expression was as dazed as ours.

"Loess Ridge?" We looked at each other.

Jia Yan nodded and told us that he had someone under him who specially collected goods in nearby villages, just to prevent some villagers from inadvertently digging up things in the ancient tomb and leaking the news to implicate here.

Once the harvester met an old man herding sheep in the Loess Ridge, the sheep stick was inserted with this golden halberd, the so-called golden halberd is not gold, in ancient times, the copper was called gold, after the recipient saw it, although he did not know the origin of this thing, but the time to find the golden halberd would not be too short, so he spent two hundred yuan to buy it back from the old man who was herding sheep.

After getting it back, Jia Yan didn't care about it until he dug out the bronze double statue, and after seeing the inscription on it, Jia Yan was taken aback, the golden halberd was probably one of the nine tins buried with the monarch, and hurriedly asked the recipient to take him to the old man who was herding sheep and asked about the origin of the golden halberd.

Who knew that the old man told him that he had inadvertently picked it up on the Loess Ridge when he was herding sheep.

"Remember the place?!" Zhu Qi hurriedly asked.

"Seventh master, I just don't have the eyesight, I can know that this matter is not trivial, I asked the old man who herded sheep to take me there, the Loess Ridge is the former Yellow River along the ancient road, I sent people to dig for three days in a row where the old hair was halberd, and the whole soil layer collapsed, and there was no tomb below at all, and then I wondered, who would bury the tomb on the shore." Jia Yan shook his head and replied. "I thought about it for a long time after I came back, and the only explanation is that when I was buried, Jin Xi, who was used as a burial item, was accidentally lost and fell into the Yellow River.

After listening to it, I was secretly shocked in my heart, the tomb of the monarch is at the bottom of the river, the bronze statue confirms our previous speculation, and the appearance of the golden halberd better proves the location of the mausoleum, this thing appears impartially on the ancient river, presumably not too far from the mausoleum.

Zhu Qi snuffed out the cigarette butt at this time, and said to Jia Yan calmly.

"Tomorrow, let your men take us to meet the man who found the golden halberd, I have something to ask this old man who is herding sheep."
