Zhao Qingya cleared her throat, "I have some say about this, the graduation thesis I did when I was a master was to discuss the influence of ancient Chinese divination culture on the ruling class, to put it simply, as early as the Yin Shang time, divination has begun to rise, and it has reached its peak in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is said that King Wen of Zhou and Jiang Ziya are masters of divination.? Bayi Chinese Network ≥≤≤.≥8≈1≥Z≈≠.≥C≥O≠M≠"

I couldn't help but interject: "Isn't Jiang Ziya a character in the god list?" You archaeologists believe in this, too? ”

She glared at me, "superficial, according to ancient historical records, Jiang Ziya does have his own person, and accompanied King Wu to conquer the Zhou State, and then was named the lord of the Qi State, Confucianism, Taoism, Law, soldiers, and vertical and horizontal families all regard him as their own figures, so he is respected as the 'Hundred Grandmasters', but his exploits have been deified by later generations, and Tang Seng in Journey to the West." ”

Zhao Qingya suddenly stopped when she said this, obviously waiting for my response.

There was no way, so she had to raise her hand and say a word of teaching, and then she continued, "Back to the point, people at that time believed that the Emperor of Heaven was in charge of everything, so Bu Gu and Bu Jia became the intermediary between the gods and people, and several of the characters on these stone tripods are the sun, moon and stars in the divination text, my guess is that this great witch of the Yue clan is likely to want to get some kind of difficult answer through these stone tripods." ”

After her explanation, the situation became a lot clearer, and for the first time, I felt that it was actually good to take this woman with me.

Zhao Qingya patted me on the arm, "Not bad, little comrade, it's the first time I've seen you look a little humble about studying." ”

As soon as I was about to speak, she stretched out her palm and pressed it down, "Okay, no kidding, the outside of this stone tripod is almost seen, what is inside is still a problem, but this tripod is too tall, three meters long, come, you squat, let me step on it to see." ”

Listening to this means that I will use her as a footstool, and I think it is beautiful.

I laughed, "It's a bit difficult, I have a dark wound on my back, and I can't stand gravity, so let's go up and see if I'm going to tell you what's going on." ”

Zhao Qingya was a little embarrassed: "You? But if there is also the kind of character in the ding, and you don't recognize it, how can you say it clearly. ”

I stretched out my hand and shook it in front of her, "It's simple, bring the camera, if there's anything you can't tell, just shoot it and it's over." ”

Zhao Qingya thought that this was also a way, so she handed the camera over, and I didn't hesitate after I started, raised my foot on the waist of the stone man next to me, and jumped on the tripod with strength.

Although this round tripod is high, it has no lid, and the mouth of the tripod is extremely thin, which is not conducive to standing, and one will fall down if you are not careful.

Fortunately, my reaction was fast enough, and I regained my balance as soon as my feet made a mistake, and when I looked down, there was a lot of sand and dirt in this ding, and a few white bones were faintly exposed from it.

The first thought that came to my mind was whether this could be animal bones, the ancients often used livestock as sacrifices when they sacrificed, and this stone tripod as a vessel for divination, I am afraid it also has this function.

"How's it going, do you see anything?" Zhao Qingya asked below.

I said wait a while, then I picked up the Yin Sword to pick out a piece of bone buried in the sand, and wanted to take it out and let Zhao Qingya, who was standing below, take a look.

However, because it was too old, the tip of the sword only touched it slightly, and the bone fragment shattered into several pieces and fell into the yellow sand.

This was a bit troublesome, this method obviously didn't work, so I had to put the Yin Sword behind my back, raise the camera in my other hand and press the shooting button.

After recording left and right for more than two minutes, the camera was thrown down, Zhao Qingya was obviously a little anxious, and began to play it back as soon as she caught it, but quickly raised her head and said, "What is this, how many bone fragments?" The items in the ding are buried in the yellow sand, and if you want to really figure it out, I have to go up myself, quick, pull me down. ”

This Shi Ding didn't give me a good feeling, I always felt that it was not a good decision to jump into the Ding to dig in, and frowned, "Otherwise, let's ignore this Shi Ding for now, after all, it's just academic research, and finding a way to find Team Leader Xie is the most important thing to do now." ”

Zhao Qingya shook her head and said firmly, "I think it is also very important to unlock the secret of this stone tripod, judging from the many signs after entering the cave, this underground temple is built by the great witch of the Yue clan, if you can interpret these stone tripods, you may be able to find a way to break the curse, and at the very least, you can understand the great witch better, so as to increase the chance of finding him." ”

I have to admit that what she said does have some truth, this temple is quite large, and it is so silent, in the absence of any clues, it is not realistic to say that you can find Sunshine and the others immediately, let her study this stone tripod carefully.

I slowly bent down and stretched out my hand, "Come, hold, I'll pull you up." ”

Although the words were quite neat, Zhao Qingya herself was not as relaxed as she appeared, and it could be seen from her expression when she was pulled up.

However, she quickly readjusted her condition, said hello and jumped into the dingzhong.

Zhao Qingya took out a pair of white gloves from her backpack and put them on, and at the same time took out a small shovel the size of a palm, and began to peel off the yellow sand below.

Although her movements were very light, her technique was very skillful, and in a short time she dug out a complete round bone fragment from it.

She carefully picked up the bone fragment, flipped it back and forth a few times, and said, "Based on my years of archaeological experience, although this bone fragment is not complete, it is almost certainly a human skull, and judging from the signs that the bone scale line has not been completely closed, it should be a child under the age of sixteen." ”

She paused, then took out a magnifying glass from her backpack and took a picture of the outer edge of the bone fragment, "The crack at the edge is very uneven, and there are short and thick textures falling off in between, this child must have been bitten to death by some kind of animal." ”

I couldn't help but say, "So what does this guy want to know if he sacrifices his underage children in order to get the correct divination results?" ”

Zhao Qingya hummed and put the bone fragments into her backpack, and continued to lower her body to dig up, "I can't tell this for the time being, but there is something under the sand, let's dig and see." ”

Time was pressed and I couldn't afford to delay, so I rolled up my cuffs and tried to jump down to help her dig together, but before I could leave, I heard a rush of footsteps in the distance.

When I looked back, I saw a man covered in blood running towards him, and it could be seen from his outfit that it was the member of the scientific expedition team who had followed Team Xie and Master Sunshine into the valley before.
