Chapter 1: The Ancient Sword Lost Soul
Three years ago, an archaeological team of 12 people excavated a Southern Song Dynasty battlefield in Baoji, Shaanxi, which was preliminarily determined to be a subsidiary battlefield of the Battle of Shangyuan in the first year of Shaoxing.
The excavation work was carried out for four months, and when the excavation work entered the final stage, the leader of the archaeological team suddenly announced that the excavation work would be stopped immediately, and the archaeological team would immediately withdraw from Baoji.
Three years later, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the window of the Southern Song Dynasty Museum in Shaanxi Province showed the world for the first time the results of the excavation three years ago.
I looked at the silk book for a while, took out my mobile phone and took two photos, and was about to put them away, when the staff next to me stepped forward: Sir, we can't take pictures here, please delete the photos, otherwise we have the right to hold them responsible.
I sighed, there are no restrictions in general museums, and I don't have the habit of taking pictures, but I am just curious about this silk book, so I smiled and said: I am a graduate student in the Department of Archaeology of Northwest University, and I want to study this silk book
Before I finished speaking, an old man with a sixtieth birthday came over with a pipe in his mouth, took two sips and said, "Young man, curiosity kills the cat, this silk book is not something you can study."
I fixed my eyes on this old man, and then I was overjoyed: You are Professor Chen?
His name is Chen Changsheng, is the Taishan Beidou of the Chinese archaeological community, and even in the international archaeological community is quite famous, three years ago the excavation work of Baoji was presided over by him, and it was also the excavation work that he ordered to stop.
He sighed.
There has always been a saying in the archaeological community that Chen Gong's words can be used as family heirlooms, which is a symbol of his status and prestige.
I'm almost crazy with joy, and if I can get his advice, I won't have to worry about my graduate thesis, even if it's just to write the words thank Professor Chen Changsheng for his guidance at the end, as long as the content is not too outrageous, it will not be a problem to keep it.
Professor Chen, I'm speechless with excitement.
Chen Changsheng probably met a lot of people like me, and his face was expressionless, but he looked at the photo in my hand and said to me: Are you really interested in this silk book?
Of course. I say.
You come with me. Chen Changsheng asked me to go out of the museum with him and take a rental to a villa not far from here.
There are all kinds of antiques on display in his room, I entered the house and stared at the antiques here, Chen Changsheng said: Don't think about it, these things are all imitated by me, they are some things I like, the genuine is the wealth of the country, I will not move.
I didn't think so. I was embarrassed to argue, always feeling as if my mind was being seen through by him.
Chen Changsheng took me to his study, and I was amazed that he went to the bookshelf and pressed a button, and the bookshelf moved away, revealing Ange in it.
Sure enough, there are rich people.
Chen Changsheng took out a long box inside, and inside the box was an intact long sword, this sword seemed to have magical power, and it was difficult to remove it after looking at it.
Chen Changsheng sighed with emotion: This was excavated together with the silk book on the battlefield of the Southern Song Dynasty, do you know what is recorded in the silk book?
I haven't had time to take a closer look. I say.
Chen Changsheng sighed: The silk book in the museum is incomplete, and it was quickly weathered when it was excavated, and I only saw a few fragments, and the silk book was clearly from the Southern Song Dynasty, but it was recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty after a thousand years.
I thought about it: could it be that in the next thousand years, someone put the silk book there?
Chen Changsheng shook his head and pointed at the ancient sword: When it was excavated, when this sword was excavated, it was in the hands of a general, and he was not dead, can you imagine? How shocking that scene was, I joined the archaeological team when I was a teenager, and now for more than 40 years, I have never seen such a thing, and I have never heard of a person who has been buried in the ground for thousands of years, and he is still alive.
I don't believe it at all, where is there a person who is buried in the ground for a thousand years and is still alive, but he is Chen Changsheng, I can't refute it, so I have to smile: in the absence of oxygen, there will be corpses that are well preserved. There is a legend of a corpse in the folk, could it be a corpse?
I was embarrassed, and I didn't dare to puncture Chen Changsheng's words, he is a symbol of authority in this industry.
Chen Changsheng still shook his head: No, the corpse is just a normal reaction of the corpse, the lack of oxygen for too long, suddenly entering the aerobic environment, chemical changes occur in the abdomen or body, and the corpse is quickly inflated, supporting the corpse.
So, what do you see? I asked cautiously.
Chen Changsheng fell into memory, his brows were tightly locked, he still had palpitations about what happened at the beginning, and about three seconds later, he said to me: He opened his mouth to speak, he actually opened his mouth to speak, and when I dug him out, he gave me this sword, and he told me
Say what? Chen Changsheng's sudden pause made me very unhappy.
If one day, someone comes to trace his history, give this sword to that person, and if that person does not know this sword, give this sword to a person named Ye Hai. And let me not try to continue digging, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Chen Changsheng said slowly, you are the first person who wants to pursue that period of history.
I was a little hesitant: I was just curious.
Chen Changsheng put the sword into the box, handed it to me, and said: I believe in creation, and I also believe in cause and effect, there is a destiny in the underworld, since you don't know this sword, then, you should give this sword to Ye Hai.
When I took the ancient sword, I always felt like listening to a fantasy story.
A general of the Southern Song Dynasty, after being excavated, actually spoke, and asked us to hand over his matching sword to a person named Ye Hai?
I looked at Chen Changsheng and always felt that he was a little stunned.
Chen Changsheng said: As long as you do this well, I will guide you to write your graduate thesis.
My head buzzed, and he helped me guide me.
That is to say, I can call myself a disciple of Chen Changsheng outside, but this name, no matter how many people can't buy it, I think I'm dreaming, secretly pinched my thigh, found that it was true, and hurriedly said: Okay, okay, I will definitely find Ye Hai and give him this sword.
There are thousands of Ye Hai in the world, I can casually hand over this sword to a person named Ye Hai, so that I can complete the task and successfully become Chen Changsheng's closed disciple.
Before leaving, Chen Changsheng said: Snakehead Village, the name is recorded in the silk book.
I took it to heart and immediately went back to the dormitory.
Another buddy in the dormitory was scratching his ears and cheeks, and when he saw me coming in, he had a sad face and asked me: Have you chosen a topic?
I smiled: It doesn't matter if I choose or not, because Chen Changsheng's name will appear on my paper.
Which Chen Changsheng? The dormitory guy said.
The Chen Changsheng you can think of. I say.
This dude cut off: Dream on you.
I put the sword box aside, and then searched the Internet for information about Snakehead Village, but there was no information about Snakehead Village.
Damn, just say that I have already given it to Ye Hai.
But then I thought about it, I always felt that it was not kind, so I decided to think of other ways.
I went out for dinner in the afternoon, and when I went back to the dormitory, I saw my buddy in the same dormitory holding the ancient sword in a daze, I walked over and took the ancient sword from him, but he didn't look strong, and I couldn't move half a minute.
Hey, let go, this thing isn't mine, don't break it. I say.
He suddenly looked up at me, and when his gaze was short, I sat on the ground in fright, cold sweat was dripping down my body, swallowed my saliva, and scolded: What are you doing?
He stood up with the ancient sword, walked to the edge of the box, and put it in the box before turning back to look at me: "What are you doing sitting on the ground?"
I was a little surprised: do you know what you just did?
He thought for a moment: Look at your sword, bought it online? It's so real that I can't even see any traces.
His eyes just now were terrifying, and the feeling at that moment was as if he had fallen into the Nine Hells, deep in the quagmire, and all he could feel was despair.
I felt very abnormal, so I hurriedly got up and went back to look at the ancient sword, but I couldn't find anything.
This ancient sword is indeed from the Southern Song Dynasty, not fake.
Could it be that what Chen Changsheng said is true?
I felt more and more chills behind my back, and immediately found another news about Snakehead Village on the Internet.
I really couldn't find it, so I removed the village word, and after reading dozens of pages, I found something.
There is a black-and-white photograph of a boulder blocking the road, and eight people in front of the boulder are standing side by side to leave this photo.
I didn't understand what the photo had to do with the snakehead, so I downloaded it, magnified it five times, and stood up in fright.
In the lower right corner of this photo, under the stone is a snake's head the size of a basin, and above this boulder, there is a faint illusory shadow, and if you look closely, you can find that the shadow is actually in the shape of a dragon.
I immediately retrieved this picture and found a few words in Snakehead Village.
