【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.

Liu Xiaoge squatted down, grabbed one of the pottery pieces casually, and took it in his hand to observe it carefully. This was recognized after careful observation, this is a jar, this kind of thing Liu Xiaoge had seen once when he was in an archaeology class. This kind of thing was unearthed in the very ancient tombs of the Tanshi Mountain cultural relics.

The cultural relics of Tanshi Mountain belong to the Neolithic Age, dating back more than 4,000 to 5,500 years. When I saw this thing, Liu Xiaoge's heart was messy, it's like when you see a Qin Dynasty person in the Tang Dynasty, the painting style is completely wrong.

This is the ancient tomb of Minyue, according to the age of the calculation is about 2,000 years ago, how can there be something in the cultural relics of Tanshan stone more than 4,000 years ago. Liu Xiaoge picked up the pottery and began to observe it carefully, this matter is very important and must be accurate.

The pottery is sand pottery, and the eyes are bright red, and this material and color immediately match the number recorded in the textbook. Then Liu Xiaoge picked up the pottery, carefully inspected the surface of the pottery, and immediately found that the pottery had obvious traces of circles. This is the clay strip disc casting method used by humans in ancient times to make pottery.

This ancient craft had many shortcomings, and was gradually replaced by better craftsmanship, and pottery made with such a craft was almost impossible to see in the Qin and Han dynasties. Looking at the inside of the pottery, there were immediately more discoveries, testifying to the certification just now.

Generally speaking, the early pottery of Tanshishan culture is generally built with mud strips, and the back mouth is rotated. This process is to spiral the mud strip to spiral upward, until it reaches the edge of the mouth, and then extrude it inside and outside, and the embryo is padded with a stone ball or pottery mold, and the outside is patted with a round pottery to make a pottery prototype, and then processed and smoothed.

This practice leaves marks on the inside of the pottery, causing some objects to be uneven and leaving visible fingerprints on the inside of many pots and jugs. The early pottery of Tanshishan culture was handmade, and in the late period, it began to be formed with a fast wheel to pull the embryo, so there will be no such traces. And Liu Xiaoge looked through the mouth of the clay pot and found traces that were completely consistent with what he had just described.

It seems that this can't be wrong, it must be something in the cultural relics of Tanshi Mountain. After confirming it, Liu Xiaoge continued to observe other artifacts, and immediately noticed some other pottery, which were of a wide variety of pottery, and if Liu Xiaoge hadn't studied archaeology, he would really not have been able to identify them.

Among them, there are beans, cups, pots, pots, bowls, bowls, spoons, respects, plates, kettles and other banquet utensils. Without exception, there are thunder patterns, checkered patterns, carved patterns, and additional pile patterns that are unique to early pottery. All of this shows that the things here do not belong to the characteristics of Minyue at all.

Moreover, it is unlikely that the Minyue people will go to antiques, because there is no such habit as antique collection and archaeological research at that time. The most important evidence is that there are obvious traces of burial on these pottery, which are almost exactly the same as those seen in museums.

This shows that these things are likely to be the funerary objects of the ancient Min people. Seeing this, some very bold speculations have already surfaced in Liu Xiaoge's mind. Could it be that this Minyue people actually went to rob the tomb, and the target was the tomb of the ancient Min people.

If so, what is their purpose? What exactly are they looking for? If it is just to collect bones for smelting, there is no way to dig ancient tombs, in the Qin and Han dynasties, there were constant wars, and the most important thing was corpses and dead people. Instead of going to great lengths to dig up ancient tombs, it is better to go to the battlefield or mass graves to collect bones simply and directly.

If their purpose is for the funeral goods, what is the explanation for the funeral goods that are discarded here in front of them? If these funeral goods were really so important to them, at least they would be neatly arranged, instead of being discarded here and ignored.

The little monkey grabbed a relatively well-preserved pottery and smoked it and asked, "Little brother, do you think this thing is worth anything?" It looks like it's been a long time. Liu Xiaoge was very dissatisfied with the little monkey's behavior of interrupting his train of thought, and said angrily: "Speaking of this value, it must be priceless, you guy will only sleep in class, and now I regret it." ”

The little monkey laughed dryly a few times, leaned up flatteringly, patted Liu Xiaoge's chest with his hand and said, "That's that, my little monkey is not the material for learning theoretical knowledge." Isn't there still a little brother, come on, don't sell Guanzi, Master Liu, you quickly give me an appraisal. ”

Liu Xiaoge pretended to take the pottery mysteriously and looked at it a few times, it was similar to the pottery just now, so he coughed a few times and said: "This thing is long, and Chinese history is known as 5,000 years." This thing may be longer than the history of China, do you say it is worth much? ”

Hearing this, the little monkey's saliva is about to stay, antiques more than 5,000 years ago, this has never been heard of a few times in the antique world. Then Liu Xiaoge struck: "But what is high is the archaeological and scientific research value, you can take it out and donate it to the museum, maybe Professor Li is happy, and your credits don't have to worry." But when it comes to economic value, I can tell you responsibly that it's almost worthless. ”

After getting this conclusion, the little monkey's mood was like riding a roller coaster, all of a sudden in heaven, and all of a sudden he was sent to hell, and the whole person was not good, and he said unwillingly: "No, little brother, are you fooling me?" You say this thing has a history of more than 5,000 years, how can such an old thing not be valuable? Aren't antiques worth more than they get older? ”

At this time, Li Xinwen didn't know when she walked in, leaned against the wall and replied flatly: "Liu Xiaoge is right about this, this thing is really worthless." In addition to being old, antiques also need to have a certain artistic value to be valuable, and this thing cannot be said to have no artistic value. But the age difference is too far away, and modern people's aesthetics can't be appreciated at all, so although the value is high, no one will pay for it. ”

Liu Xiaoge nodded and added: "That's true, if antiques are blindly pursuing the length of time, then you can find a stone that is longer than the age of any antique, according to this reason, it is not more valuable." The little monkey was a little annoyed when he heard this, and he raised the clay pot and was about to smash it.

In the eyes of the little monkey, since this thing is worthless, it is no different from garbage. Seeing the posture of the little monkey, Liu Xiaoge hurriedly stepped forward to rescue the clay pot. But there were too many clutter in this basement, and suddenly Liu Xiaoge didn't care about so much.

It was a tragedy under this step, not only did he not grab the clay pot, but he knocked the clay pot out, and the clay pot fell to the ground and was shattered. Li Xinwen's face also changed, and she pointed at the little monkey and scolded: "You dead monkey, do you know that it is very unfortunate to smash antiques in this ancient tomb, and we will be unlucky if you do this." ”

At this moment, all of a sudden, the entire basement shook again. Liu Xiaoge secretly scolded for his bad luck, and he didn't care too much about running towards the exit of the basement. The three of them quickly scurried out of the basement exit, and immediately after, the entire basement shook again.

actually collapsed in the stunned eyes of the three of them, Liu Xiaoge looked at the collapsed basement and was afraid for a while, if they were so late, they would all have to be buried alive. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I raised my hand to give the little monkey such a moment, so that he could be sober and sober, and not worry about money all day long.

But before Liu Xiaoge's hand slapped down, the mutation reappeared. In the dust raised by the collapse of the basement, something like a black fog suddenly appeared, which stood out in the gray smoke. Li Xinwen prompted: "It's not good, withdraw quickly." ”

The three of them picked up their equipment and retreated, the black fog getting thicker and thicker. And the whole black fog seems to be a living thing, constantly expanding and then contracting, constantly changing its shape, which is particularly weird. The little monkey suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked at it, and a cold sweat broke out.

Pointing to the candle, he said, "Oh no, the candle is extinguished." We're going to have to slip away. "Everyone knows, and you still need to say it. Liu Xiaoge was still too lazy to complain, and the three of them ran away without delay, and soon the black mist swept towards the three of them, and the speed was amazing.

As the black fog got closer and closer, Liu Xiaoge heard a buzzing sound in his ears, this black fog was really a living thing, these black fogs were composed of many unknown small insects. Originally, these insects may have been in a state of suspended animation in those clay pots, and they were all activated by their own people.

This time I really stabbed the hornet's nest, and while running Liu Xiaoge, he scolded the little monkey on the side and said: "Are you lacking heart eyes, and you are not mature at all in how to do things." Where do you think we are now? We're in the ancient tombs, so next time I'll pay attention to it, and then I'll make some sons, and see if I don't kill you. ”

The little monkey also knew that it was indeed his fault, so he didn't dare to reply with his head drooping, so the three of them ran out of dozens of meters. Li Xinwen suddenly slowed down her pace and said, "No, these insects are too fast, if we run like this, we will definitely not be able to dodge." ”

"So what to do?" The little monkey asked. "Let's try it with fire, aren't all insects afraid of fire?" Liu Xiaoge proposed. As he spoke, the little monkey took action, took out his lighter and lit a torch hanging from his waist. In this underground world, Liu Xiaoge and the others have been in for a long time, and the power of this flashlight is limited, so they have made torches in case of emergency.

After the little monkey lit the torch, he picked up the torch and threw it into the black mist. Seeing the flames, these black insects were like crazy, and they threw themselves at the torches regardless of life and death, and actually extinguished the torches with a few efforts. The fire is too small and there are too many insects to help.

Liu Xiaoge couldn't help but feel desperate when he saw this, although he didn't know what it would be like for these insects to bite people, but now looking at the torches crawling with insects, Liu Xiaoge felt that his intensive phobia was about to attack. It's disgusting, and even if these bugs don't bite you, they can suffocate you to death just like that.

Just when the three of them couldn't avoid it, Li Xinwen suddenly pointed to the end of the front of the basement and said, "Speed up, there should be an exit over there." According to the height and direction, that side leads to the second floor of the dungeon, and the bronzes smelted here must also have a passage to the dungeon. Pray that this passage will not be blocked. ”
