Chapter 101: Orchid Pavilion Preface
Li Su also took out a portable oxygen meter to measure it, and found that the concentration of oxygen in this tomb was extremely low, almost negligible, since there was no oxygen, how did this fire burn? It's amazing! He asked excitedly, "Can the aura between heaven and earth burn in an oxygen-free state?" What are its main components? Carbon monoxide? Hydrogen? Methane? How can I get it? This may be a major discovery to solve the current energy crisis! ”
Li Su threw out a series of questions, and it was the turn of the nine-tailed fox to be confused, carbon monoxide? Hydrogen? Methane? I've never heard of any of these things.
Ding Laosan shook his head with a wry smile on the side, and sighed: "Alas, Brother Li, don't think about solving the energy crisis, if the aura is so easy to obtain, then the world will be full of demons and monsters." ”
As soon as he heard that the aura would also provoke demons and monsters, Li Su was too frightened to speak, and hurriedly hid behind the crowd, for fear that something would pop out of this everlasting lamp.
Scared to scared, Li Su still couldn't help but be curious, and took several photos from different angles in front of the ever-bright lantern. And Professor Dong even wanted to get some red liquid back and ask the experts to study the ingredients carefully, but the nine-tailed fox advised him not to do so, because the amount of these red liquids should have been carefully calculated, once the amount was not enough, so that the gathered aura was insufficient, then the lamp could no longer be maintained.
Hearing the nine-tailed fox say this, Professor Dong had no choice but to give up, after all, such a magical treasure, if he accidentally let himself be destroyed, then he couldn't afford this responsibility no matter what.
Everyone studied around the lantern for half an hour, and then gradually shifted their attention to the coffins of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian in the tomb.
Judging from the patterns carved on the two coffins, the one carved with the golden dragon should be the coffin of Tang Gaozong, and the one carved with the golden phoenix should naturally be Wu Zetian's coffin.
After some discussion, everyone decided to open Tang Gaozong's coffin first.
Tang Gaozong's coffin was made of golden silk nanmu.
In ancient times, the golden silk nan wood is the most advanced coffin production material, which is extremely precious and rare, is the special wood of the royal family in the past dynasties, the coffin made of golden silk nan wood, if it is properly sealed, can protect the body for thousands of years without decay.
This golden silk nanmu is very heavy, for fear of damaging the coffin, everyone did not dare to use a crowbar, and Ding Laosan did not dare to push it open with one palm like the sarcophagus in the Tai Chi acupoint at the beginning.
Everyone had to find the thin gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body first, and then each grabbed a corner and worked together to lift the coffin lid.
"Slow down! Slow down! Handle with care. Under the command of Professor Dong, everyone carefully placed the lid of the coffin on the ground next to the coffin.
Tang Gaozong's coffin was completely opened, and everyone was so excited that they gathered around.
Looking into the coffin, everyone was taken aback, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: The anti-embalming technology of the Tang Dynasty royal family is too powerful! I saw Tang Gaozong lying in the coffin, the silk dragon robe on his body was still shining, and although the flesh on his face was very dry, so that the outline of the bones was clearly visible, there was no sign of decay.
On both sides of Tang Gaozong's jade pillow, there were some calligraphy and paintings, Professor Dong put on gloves and carefully flipped through them, and Ye Lao was also watching from the side.
Every calligraphy and painting seemed to be a major discovery, which made Professor Dong and Ye Lao cry out in amazement. When they turned to the last one, both of them had their eyes wide open, and Professor Dong's hands holding the calligraphy and painting trembled uncontrollably.
"Second brother and Dong Ye have found something good?" Ding Laosan came over when he saw this.
"Lan ...... Orchid...... Kiosk...... Ting Xu ...... "Professor Dong was so excited that he could barely speak. ”
"What! This national treasure is really in this Qianling! Ding Laosan was also taken aback.
Subsequently, the entire mausoleum was boiling, and even Wang Qi, who was sitting against the wall on the side, struggled to get up and take a look when he heard about Lan Tingxu, but he almost fell, but fortunately the old ghost stepped forward to support him.
Only Luo Zi couldn't understand why everyone was so excited all of a sudden, and asked curiously, "What is Lan Tingxu?" ”
Yu Fei glanced at Luo Zi with disdain: "I said brother, you didn't do your homework when you came to this Qianling, and you didn't even know the "Orchid Pavilion Preface"? ”
Luo Zi stepped forward to take a look, and saw that what Professor Dong was holding in his hand was just a calligraphy calligraphy that had been somewhat yellowed, so he said: "I don't study calligraphy and painting, how do I know what this "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is." ”
Ye Lao turned around and said: ""Orchid Pavilion Preface" is the proud pen of the Jin Dynasty calligrapher Wang Xizhi, its writing is fresh and beautiful, the calligraphy is strong and elegant, and it is regarded as the best by the calligraphy circles of the past dynasties, so as to be crowned with the reputation of the first post of Chinese calligraphy. According to legend, the original work of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" was regarded as a rare treasure by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and was buried, but Wen Tao, the Yaozhou Thorn Shi Wen Tao of the Five Dynasties period, stole Li Shimin's Zhaoling, but on the list of unearthed treasures he wrote, there was no "Orchid Pavilion Preface", so there were rumors that it was hidden in Qianling. Today, this age-old mystery has finally been solved. ”
Professor Dong also nodded and said: "A large part of the reason why the country finally agreed to this Qianling expedition is for this "Orchid Pavilion Preface". Xiao Li! Hurry up and take pictures! ”
Li Su was staring at "Orchid Pavilion Preface" in a daze, and when he heard Professor Dong's reminder, he quickly picked up the camera and shot frantically at "Orchid Pavilion Preface".
Professor Dong really wanted to bring out the authentic work of this "Orchid Pavilion Preface" in his heart, but before entering the Qianling Tomb, it had been repeatedly emphasized that this expedition must not take out any cultural relics from the Qianling Tomb. After all, the environment inside the Qianling Tomb is different from the outside world, and the oxygen content is too different, and once these rare cultural relics leave the Qianling Tomb, how to properly preserve them is also a scientific problem.
Therefore, after some careful reading, Professor Dong had to reluctantly put the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" back into Tang Gaozong's coffin, and then ordered everyone to close the coffin lid again.
The nine-tailed fox had no interest in Tang Gaozong's coffin, even the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" that amazed everyone, it didn't take a second look, just waited anxiously on the side, and now seeing that everyone finally closed Tang Gaozong's coffin again, knowing that Wu Zetian's coffin was about to be opened, they immediately became excited.
The nine-tailed fox jumped on the lid of Wu Zetian's coffin, startling Professor Dong, for fear that the nine-tailed fox's claws would scratch the delicately carved patterns on the coffin. However, he saw that the nine-tailed fox was light and didn't even make a sound, so he felt a little relieved.
