Chapter Eighty-Three: A Sheepskin
After I finished speaking, I stood on tiptoe and stretched my neck to see clearly into the stone platform, but it was so bad that I couldn't even reach the edge.
"No wonder it's dark here, it turns out to be a molten ding!" Wu Lin squinted his eyes and glanced around, "Well, it seems that there is a reason why it is so close to the underground river!" ”
I retracted my neck, looked at the behemoth in front of me and exhaled, and felt very sorry in my heart, "Jiuding of the Western Zhou Dynasty was originally a symbol of power, and it is said that one fell into the water when crossing the Surabaya River, whether it is true or not, but here it is melted into one, it is really a pity, if future generations can see these things, this is a national treasure!" ”
When Wu Lin heard me say this, he also felt very pity, "The Qin Dynasty has bronze, why do you have to melt this tripod?" It's incredible. ”
"Well, this is the strangest place, or the smelting technology of the Qin Dynasty at that time was not as good as that of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and high-purity bronze could not be refined from the ore at all, and it is also possible that the Qin people melted this copper tripod to make some important utensils." In terms of what I know about the history of the Qin Dynasty and what we see now, it is nothing short of drizzle, and I can only guess at the moment.
"It seems that history really can't be understood by records alone!" Wu Lin said with feeling.
I looked at the walls around me again, and the runes on them looked eerie, and although the recessed lines were covered with moss, I could still see that the innermost part was black, not the result of smoke and fire, but blood.
It can be seen that the tomb of this furnace poured a lot of effort into the designer, probably at that time with some sacrificial techniques to smear the blood of human animals on the wall, and the blood flowed down the groove, which is some of the methods commonly used by the ancients in sacrifices.
"You just said that Jiuding is a symbol of power, could it be that after they melted this symbol of power, they made something else and provided this thing to the emperor to use, so that the emperor's majesty could be more highlighted?"
Hearing Wu Lin say this, I couldn't help but begin to admire his cleverness, "Well, there is a great possibility, Qin Shi Huang will definitely do this, he is a domineering monarch." ”
I began to ponder the words engraved on the copper pillar when I first went to the sea, and the four of them received an edict from Qin Shi Huang to build a treasure hiding place, so why is there a bronze medal of the falcon here, could it be that this underground furnace was built before he built the undersea underground palace?
This is unreasonable, look at this tomb, the scale is grand, a former school in the palace, will definitely not build a tomb privately, that is to say, the construction of the Falcon here is also the emperor's decree.
"Why does Qin Shi Huang want to melt here, in this hidden mountain, as if he is afraid of people seeing, sneaky, this is not in line with his style, you are the king of a country, you can't choose where to build!"
At this time, Wu Lin's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a small stone table placed on the high platform, "Ding Jia, look, there is something on it!" ”
I walked two steps to the stone table and found two delicate little boxes in the bronze plate, one of which had been opened and was empty.
These two small boxes are very exquisite, made of pure copper, the surface is made of wrong gold technology, and inlaid with jasper, from the surface of the box, it has been treated with chromium to prevent rust, just like the bronze beryllium inserted in my waist, without a trace of rust, under the irradiation of water tiger crystal, it still reflects a long matte.
I looked at the other small box, intact and showed no signs of being touched, I picked it up and opened it gently.
"Be careful!" Wu Lin shouted nervously behind me, "Don't have anything popping out inside and hurting you!" ”
I suddenly stopped nervously, but when I looked at the open box, I was relieved, at least there was no hidden weapon in the box.
I slowly opened the small box, and there was really nothing hurtful in the box, and there was a sheepskin lying inside the copper box.
It's a miracle that the little box looks so good that it seals so well that a piece of parchment still survives to this day.
It was as if the sheepskin had been waiting, waiting for someone to find it and open it, and at this point I began to get a little excited, and I involuntarily picked up the sheepskin with my hand.
I slowly put down the bronze box, and gently opened the parchment with my hand, on which were neatly written some small seals, and when I slowly looked at the beginning, I knew that the things recorded on this paper would amaze almost all historians!
The meaning of what is written above is probably this: one of the nine tripods is about to be melted, but an ordinary fire has been burning for ninety days, and it cannot be melted at all; Later, Xu Fu found Tianhuo and turned it into copper paste; The copper paste was refined seven hundred and forty-nine times until it was finally cast into a bronze vessel, which was sealed in the mountain along with the heavenly fire.
"What does that mean?" I shook my head, frowned, and read it again from cover to cover, still not understanding what it meant.
Wu Lin stuck his head out, "What is written on it?" ”
I told Wulin what was written above, and he was taken aback, "It seems that I only guessed half of it right just now, the copper tripod was made into something else, but it was not for the emperor, but it was sealed, but why should it be sealed together with Tianhuo?" ”
Wu Lin looked at the other box over and over for a long time, "There must be a parchment roll in here, where did it go?" ”
I took the box in his hand and looked at it carefully, and the new and old in it was the same as the one I had just opened, which showed that the contents had not been taken away for a long time.
"Did they take the old buttocks?" Wu Lin touched his chin, "If that's the case, at least you can get together to study the secrets here, maybe these two pieces of parchment together can find some shocking secrets." ”
"They didn't take it."
"How do you know?" Wu Lin looked at me suspiciously.
"Why did they take only one instead of both?" I looked at Wulin, "They definitely won't deliberately leave one for others to discover, it's not so boring." ”
Wu Lin thought about it again, "But in addition to them, it's us, the two bastards of Feilong and Ma Zhu'er are estimated to be queuing up at Lord Yama, so who else will come in and get the contents of that box?" ”
Wulin's explanation made me start to get confused, could it be that Feilong and Ma Zhu'er came in first to get something, and then went out again?
No, if they had come in, they would have taken these two small boxes with them, not to mention one and leaving the other!
