Chapter 64: Su Bi

The clods of soil were tightly bonded to the skin and clothing, like mud sprayed on at the time, and then solidified together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I was very careful, after all, this is an ancient corpse of thousands of years, an extremely valuable artifact. The condensed soil, which is not very hard, can be peeled off easily, piece by piece.

Suspicion grew as I peeled off the clods of soil, so I asked, "This doesn't seem to be mud, and even if it is, it's not ordinary mud." ”

The pangolin picked up a small piece from the pile of clods I had peeled off, tried to sniff it, then frowned and twisted his face to me, "Uh-huh, you smell it." ”

"What a smell, it can't be poisonous!" Yang Gang was curious and picked up a small piece of soil, put it in front of his nose and inhaled gently, "There is really a smell, like the smell of some kind of traditional Chinese medicine, it is sealed in mud, although the smell is heavy, but if it is not placed in front of the nose, it will not smell, it is no wonder that we came in, and even watched Qin Qi peel the clods of soil and couldn't smell anything." ”

The others saw that the pangolin and Yang Gang had no adverse reactions to the smell of the clods, so they all picked up a small piece and watched it, smelling the smell, and I sniffed it carefully, but everyone, including me, didn't know what the smell was in the clods.

"It seems to smell fishy, like the horns or scales of some animal." I can't tell what it smells like.

"It's a little." Pangolins reaffirmed.

There are no results, and we are not speculating on it.

The pangolin pinched the clod of soil in his hand hard, and the clod was immediately pinched into powder by him, and he carefully pinched it between his fingers, and then said, "Delicate as flour." ”

After saying that, the pangolin sniffed again, trying to confirm the possible ingredients in it, but still shaking his head to no avail.

"The function of this layer of soil is anaerobic and embalming, and it is concluded from the ancient corpse that this anti-embalming method is very clever and very effective, and it can protect the corpse for thousands of years." If I look at the corpse of a beautiful man, he seems to be asleep, if he is put up, let him stand, and put him on the street, no one will surely find out that he is a corpse that has been dead for more than 2,000 years, and if you don't think he is an artist doing performance art on the street.

Unknown, if you speculate, you can often come up with an extremely frightening answer, just like Zhao Linsheng said at the time, he said: "Could it be that human bone powder is mixed in this mud." ”

As soon as Zhao Linsheng's words came out, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by him, obviously everyone didn't know about it, they hadn't heard of it, they hadn't seen it.

Everyone's eyes were looking at Zhao Linsheng for a solution, and he smirked: "It's just a guess, think about the smell of fish in the soil, maybe it's the smell of fresh human bones mixed in the mud." ”

"Don't take it out if you guess, it's scary." Shangguan Yaxiong reminded Zhao Linsheng in time.

After all, in this kind of dungeon where people and ghosts are there, it is not appropriate to tell horror stories and create a terrifying atmosphere.

"It doesn't matter what kind of bird it's mixed with, it doesn't matter anyway." Lao K stopped everyone's discussion at this time, and then said to me, "Qin Qi, don't listen to their nonsense, you can hurry up, be nimble, and peel off this mud for us." ”

I just turned my mind to peel the clods, and I just went to the neck of the sleeping beautiful man, and now I continue.

I peeled it carefully, perhaps more than 2,000 years ago, when the ancients were as careful as I did to smear mud on this corpse.

The man's neck was empty, and he didn't wear any ornaments, which made my heart beat a drum, and it took so much trouble to seal a corpse, which shows his status, how can he be so plain.

I continued, and soon my boobs were exposed.

"It's strange that even if the corpse can be kept fresh, the clothes can be kept so bright." Yang Gang looked at the man's clothes exposing his chest and said.

The clothes worn by the corpse were red, as red as blood, and not even a single color had faded.

"Qin Shi, isn't it all dark, why is this corpse dressed like a groom official." I was surprised.

"I'm afraid he was a bridegroom when he was buried here." Pangolins seem to say with certainty.

"The bridegroom made the funeral offerings, and the people who could do the funeral for the first emperor were not ordinary people." I'm more curious.

Curious, in search of answers, I sped up a bit, and soon the upper half of the corpse was naked/exposed, and the previous discussions and curiosity about various phenomena were instantly replaced by the appearance of something else.

"Jade." I looked at the jade bi held in front of my abdomen in the corpse's hand and exclaimed, shocked.

We have entered the underground palace, bronze artifacts can be seen almost everywhere, and there is nothing unusual, the gold Qin people are not stingy, a large number of traps are used, jade has also seen some, but the shape of the instrument is ordinary, mostly ornaments, or figurative jade, but I have not seen a piece of jade, at this time the jade appeared in front of our eyes, how can we not be surprised.

In ancient times, the main use of bi was sacrificial and ceremonial vessels.

The burial jade represents the status and wealth of the tomb owner.

And now the ancient corpse is embracing jade, which also means that his status is quite high, perhaps the noble son of Qin or Chu.

"Lantian Yubi." Pangolins are quite knowledgeable about antique artifacts, and ancient jade is a favorite thing for many cultural relics lovers, and pangolins obviously also know ancient jade very well.

At this time, the jade bi was still in the arms of the ancient corpse, and before it was picked up and looked at, the pangolin could recognize the jade species of the ancient jade bi at a glance, which was also quite a remarkable skill, which was enviable.

I nodded, "Sort of." ”

My understanding of Lantian jade began with the jade cicada, and the jade cicada happened to be an ancient jade, and later the Zhang brothers sent the jade figurines, which gave me a deeper understanding of the ancient jade and the ancient jade of Lantian.

The jade quality of the jade in the arms of the ancient corpse is the same as that of the jade cicada and jade figurines, and the jade cicada and jade figurines are all Lantian ancient jade, from which it can be deduced that the jade bi is Lantian ancient jade.

The jade bi is almost not deliberately carved, and there is a hole in the middle, which looks plain.

"Isn't this too plain, nothing has been carved." Pangolin disagreed, perhaps he felt that there was a fly in the ointment, "Subi first appeared in the Neolithic period, mainly in the Liangzhu culture, and then appeared with ornamentation, with string patterns, cloud patterns, valley patterns, thin lines, according to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are also cloud pattern valley pattern decorations." ”

Recently, at just the right angle, I can be sure that there is no ornamentation on the jade, and say, "There is indeed no ornamentation, it is simply a plain piece." ”

"What do you mean, isn't Su Bi worthless?" Old K saw me talking to the pangolin, and suddenly said something that was extremely disturbing to the atmosphere.

"That's the end of the must, the end of the plain bi must not be worth much, maybe even more valuable, just like some jade materials with very good quality, in the hands of some carving masters, they will try to preserve the original appearance of the jade materials, use shallow carving, or even do nothing at all, but make its value greatly increased." There are also quite a lot of jade artifacts handled by pangolins, otherwise they would not be so familiar with this market.
