Chapter 31: Twenty Years Ago

Stuffy oil bottle, no, it should be Zhang Qiling, his tone was gentle, without a trace of emotion, from his narrative, I gradually saw the corner of this huge mystery. However, I have no way of understanding from his account, what he thought and heard throughout the events, nor his true background, and we imagine him for the time being as a silent and wise young man.

At the bottom of the ocean, you can't hear the howl of the wind on the surface, but you can still feel the suffocation before the storm.

Zhang Qiling sat quietly in the corner of the ear room, watching his companions scramble to study the blue and white porcelain on the ground. These porcelains were not attractive to him, and these seniors, who seemed to be older than him, had been completely attracted to them.

They circulated it to each other, some wanted to write down the patterns on it, some were discussing the meaning of the patterns, when suddenly one of them shouted, "Come and see!" There's something strange underneath these porcelain! ”

The name of the person who said this sentence is Huo Ling, the youngest of the three girls in the examination team, her parents are a high-ranking cadre, usually pampered, and she especially likes to make a fuss to attract the attention of others, Zhang Qiling felt a headache when she heard her voice, but girls like her are still relatively popular in this small team, and this delicate voice immediately seduced several other people.

These boys were all scrambling, hoping to show their knowledge in front of Huo Ling, and they all shouted: "What can be strange? Show it to me. Huo Ling turned over a porcelain in her hand, let them look at it, one by one, and said: "This, I know, this is called the kiln number, which represents the origin of this porcelain." ”

The other immediately retorted and said: "No, the kiln number of the Ming kiln is not like this, this may be the inscription of the house number representing the identity of the owner of this tomb!" ”

The first one was a little embarrassed, and said: "The inscription of the house number is generally four words, but there is only one word here, and it is very remote, and what you said is even more impossible." ”

Huo Ling, who was accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, sighed, and suddenly saw Zhang Qiling leaning coldly in the corner, ignoring her at all, snorted in his heart, walked straight over, handed the blue and white porcelain long-necked bottle to him, and said playfully: "Xiao Zhang, help me take a look, what is this?" ”

Zhang Qiling didn't want to pay attention to her at all, glanced at her lightly, didn't see anything clearly, then turned his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Huo Ling's face changed, she rarely ate closed doors in front of men, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and said: "Xiao Zhang, you are not allowed to perfunctory me, take a closer look before answering!" As he spoke, he suddenly stuffed the bottle into Zhang Qiling's hand.

Zhang Qiling sighed, helpless, so he had to pick it up, Huo Ling proudly pointed to him, it turned out that the bottom of the blue and white porcelain long-necked bottle that was knocked down had a special inscription.

Zhang Qiling had never seen this engraving, and he couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart. The bottom of the general porcelain is the kiln number from which the kiln came from, but this inscription, with a concave and convex feel, is not the name of any kiln number, more like a number.

He picked up the other one casually, turned it over and looked at it, sure enough, there were also them, but they were different from what he had just seen, and at this moment he suddenly vaguely felt that these porcelains did not seem to be as simple as simple burial goods.

Huo Ling saw the change in his expression, thinking that this piece of wood had finally opened up, and asked, "Xiao Zhang, how is it, what is this?" ”

Zhang Qiling regarded her as transparent at all, he picked up these porcelain, looked at more than a dozen in a row, and found that there were different symbols at the bottom of each one, and these symbols changed regularly, and it seemed to be a kind of numbering with a fixed order.

Why are these porcelains numbered, and are they arranged in such a strict order? Or is it not in order to be numbered by these numbers, and it will not serve a certain purpose? Countless thoughts flashed in Zhang Qiling's heart, and he couldn't help but look at these porcelains carefully.

When he looked at it, he was stunned, because the content depicted in the pattern of porcelain is not spring ploughing, not a courtyard, but a picture of a craftsman carving a giant stone statue.

As he looked all the way, he gradually found some clues, these porcelain paintings, when they look at them individually, are nothing special, but as long as you follow the order in which they are arranged, you will find that these pictures are continuous, as if they are depicting the progress of a huge project.

At this time, everyone was attracted by his peculiar behavior, and several boys stared at him inexplicably without knowing what he was selling.

Zhang Qiling didn't pay attention to these people, he didn't look all the way like me, but walked directly to the last small porcelain amphora pot, picked it up and took a closer look, his heart was already moved, only to see that on this last amphora, the scene when the entire project was completed has been outlined.

It was a palace that could not be described in words, floating in the sky, the clouds and mist below the palace, the builders of the palace, standing on the ground, looking up at the sky, and a mountain beside it was a Taoist who was smiling happily.

The small amphora could not express any of the grandeur of the project, but Zhang Qiling still felt an irrepressible excitement because he knew he had found something.

He could almost conclude that the content depicted above was the Genting Heavenly Palace designed and built by Wang Zanghai, a ghost hand craftsman in the early Ming Dynasty!

This legendary palace that can float in the sky has long appeared in the legend of the Ming Dynasty, but the explanation at that time was that Wang Zanghai used a huge kite with a large number of gold threads to create the illusion of a beautiful fantasy palace in the sky to please Zhu Yuanzhang.

But if the legend is correct, what is the scene depicted here? If the legend is not correct, then do these porcelain paintings show that Wang Zanghai really built a palace floating in the sky? Legends and facts, facts and legends, which is true and which is false, Zhang Qiling began to be confused.

He thought about it for a while, and had no clue, so he told these things to his companions, who of course didn't believe it, and were busy following his method, looking at porcelain one by one, and couldn't help but look at them one by one, which was not only unique in Chinese history, but also the most incredible discovery. As soon as Huo Ling saw that her discovery had led to such a major discovery, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and kissed Zhang Qiling on the face, and the other men immediately became jealous.

But Zhang Qiling didn't notice this, he probably didn't know who kissed him at all, and he didn't want to know, so he walked directly to Wen Jin's side and proposed to go into the apse to search immediately, he thought that more clues could definitely be found in the coffin.

Wen Jin is a person in charge in the end, she thought about it, thought it was too dangerous to do so, and hurriedly said: "No, absolutely not, without the leadership of the team leader, we can't go into the ancient tomb by ourselves!" ”

Zhang Qiling saw that she didn't agree, and she didn't talk nonsense, she packed up her equipment by herself, and walked to Yongdao, Wen Jin is a heroine in the middle of the girl, seeing that he doesn't take himself in his eyes, he can't help but feel unhappy, so he wants to teach him a lesson, anyway, she often plays a few tricks in the research institute, and teaches those Mao Xiaozi who don't obey her.

Thinking about it, she suddenly stepped forward and exerted her strength, wanting to grab the joint of Zhang Qiling's thin wrist, this is called buckling the pulse gate, once the pulse gate is buckled, you can dial thousands of catties in four quantities, she is naturally not strong as a woman, but as long as she takes the lead in attacking, it is enough to make Zhang Qiling, a big man, beg for mercy in pain.

Several other men have been hit by Wen Jin's trick, and they can't help but laugh secretly, wanting to see Zhang Qiling's jokes.

She tried this trick a hundred times, and people who generally have no martial arts foundation can't guard against it at all, but she didn't hold it this time, and couldn't help but be taken aback, at this time, Zhang Qiling had already turned around and said lightly: "Don't worry, I can take care of myself!" ”

Wen Jin sneered and said, "What do you take to take care of yourself?" Xiao Zhang, you are notoriously unorganized and undisciplined in the office, but this is an ancient tomb, please consider not yourself, but also everyone's safety. ”

Zhang Qiling nodded, and actually said, "I'll think about it, I'll be back soon." ”

Wen Jin's little face was red with anger, and he said in his heart that he was such a thorn, looking at his tepid tone, he couldn't get angry, so he went up and grabbed him, and said: "No, you are not going to go to say anything, we have one less person, how can you tell me to go back to the office?" ”

Zhang Qiling seemed a little impatient, turned his head, his eyes were cold, and said, "Let go." ”

Wen Jin looked at him very resolutely, I think any man would compromise when he saw such a lovely woman as her, looking at himself with that kind of eyes, but Zhang Qiling's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes instantly became like a demon, Wen Jin's hands were softened by all of a sudden, and he threw them away.

When she looked at it again, the eyes of the spirit changed back to that faint and unrecognizable look, nodded to her, and said, "Thank you!" ”。

When other people saw this scene, they thought that Wen Jin actually agreed to his request, and they were not convinced, people are like this, as long as one person breaks the rules, everyone else will flock to him, and several other people saw Zhang Qiling walk into Yongdao, on the one hand, they were afraid that he would take all the credit, and on the other hand, they also ignited the curiosity that had been suppressed, and they clamored to follow.

Wen Jin is a woman after all, she knows that as soon as she let go of her hand just now, she has lost control of these people, and now, unless she has a gun in her hand, there is no way to stop these young people.

The third uncle's temper is not good, if he wakes up Wu Sanxing at this time, with his temper, he will inevitably have a violent conflict with Zhang Qiling for his own face, and things may get out of control, and finally weigh the pros and cons, she decided to take them into the apse by herself and come back as soon as possible. With her years of experience in inverted buckets, if this was just an ordinary tomb, there must be no problem.

The process after that, it is basically the same as what we experienced, as for how they went through the heavy tunnel, found the stairs in the pool, and then went down to the bottom of the pool, although it was also very tortuous and bizarre, but it was not the focus of the narrative, Zhang Qiling also brought it over in a sentence when he told it, and the most critical thing was that they went down to the bottom of the misty pool and saw the wordless stone tablet.

The scene at the bottom of the pool is simply strange and inexplicable, those dense fogs in the light of the flashlight, from time to time into a variety of faces, people involuntarily have a fear in their hearts, when they go down the last stone staircase, the group suddenly becomes united, the atmosphere does not dare to come out, pulling each other in the fog, trembling, for fear that something will suddenly rush out.

Huo Ling saw Zhang Qiling and was fearless, and the other few other people on the side, the so-called seniors in the institute who were usually majestic, were now shrank and hid behind him, and couldn't help but have a good impression of him, and said to those boys: "Look at a few of you, you are all several years older than Xiao Zhang, and you can't even compare to his scum, shame is not shame!" ”

People of their age, when they were born calves and were not afraid of tigers, were said by Huo Ling, their blood and qi surged, and they all rushed to Zhang Qiling's front, the pool was not large, they ran a few steps to see that nothing happened; Bold again, he walked straight into the middle of the fog and walked a few steps. Suddenly, the leader shouted, "There's a monster inside!" "Flee back as you scream.

This voice almost scared everyone into a fart, and the next few didn't care if they saw it or not, their scalps were numb, and they also retreated, Zhang Qiling ignored them, and led a few other people to walk in by themselves, and saw the so-called monster, which was the Dinghai stone monkey.

Immediately, they saw several other Dinghai stone monkeys and the mysterious wordless stone tablet.

In an instant, everyone was deeply shocked, although these things in front of them were not spectacular, but in the eyes of these people, the significance was extraordinary, everything in this ancient tomb overturned the textbook-like concept of Chinese tombs that had not changed for thousands of years. It has immeasurable archaeological value.

Even Wen Jin was speechless in surprise, and muttered: "My God, these things are so unbelievable, maybe this place will become another milestone in the Chinese archaeological community".

After the shock, there was ecstasy, in those days, a major discovery meant a huge opportunity, once the discovery was announced, their names would immediately become household names, thinking of this, a few stupid people had already giggled and were so excited that they couldn't help but start dancing.

At this time, Zhang Qiling, who caused this trouble, frowned deeply, he looked more carefully than anyone else, and had already seen the ancient inscriptions engraved on the cornerstone of the stele.

"This monument is destined for those who are destined, that is, the current Tiangong Gate, enter it, and you can get a fairyland."

The shock of this sentence was far from the other discoveries, and he was not infected by the madness of the people next to him, and fell into deep contemplation.

According to his thoughts, such words cannot be written in this place for no reason, and the so-called things must have their uses, and the owner of the tomb must have a reason to do so when he places these things here.

So where is the door to the Heavenly Palace in this stone tablet? How do you have a fate? He stood in front of the stele and looked for it inch by inch, but the stele was a stele, and there was no trace of any mechanism or secret text.

The other people made trouble for a while, and gradually calmed down, Wen Jin felt that the time was almost there, and it was not appropriate to delay here any longer, so he beckoned them back. Those people were happy and happy enough, and they also saw it, and they also put away their hearts, and walked to the stairs with a smile, Wen Jin counted them one by one, and in the end, he found that Zhang Qiling had not come over.

Zhang Qiling disobeyed the leader at first, insisted on coming to the apse, and now refuses to return to the team, thinking of this, Wen Jin is very angry, but where the duty lies, he can't leave him alone, she said in a bad tone and ordered the others, and a team of people walked back into the mist quickly.

They walked a few times, and when they saw Zhang Qiling still squatting in front of the stone tablet and studying something, Wen Jin couldn't help but feel angry in his heart and shouted, "You don't leave yet!" How awkward is it going to be? ”。 Halfway through the words, Huo Ling grabbed her hand and desperately told her not to speak, Wen Jin was puzzled, looked at the others, and found that they all looked a little panicked, very puzzled.

Huo Ling saw that she hadn't reacted yet, and hurriedly pointed to the mist, Wen Jin looked over with her hand, and saw a huge figure appear on Zhang Qiling's side less than two meters away from the depths of the mist.
