Chapter 158: Empress Wu Jin Jian
84_84070 Songshan, Henan Province, since ancient times is a place with many legendary stories, legend, there was once an emperor on Songshan to drink the queen mother's wine, all dynasties, the legend that there are many treasures hidden on the mountain is countless.
But legend to legend, whether there is a treasure on this mountain, no one has ever found it. At the very least, in this small village at the foot of Songshan Mountain, in 1982, Qu Xihuai picked up Wu Zetian's crime removal Jin Jian, which was already a major event that caused a sensation in the village.
That year, Qu Xihuai was still very young, and was arranged by the village to plant trees on Song Mountain, and the farmers at that time had no entertainment, and when they were tired from working on the mountain, they often played a game called Rolling Thunder Stone. In fact, it is very simple to say, that is, the huge rocks are pushed down the mountain and rolled down the mountain together, and the rocks make a rumbling sound in the process of rolling down, and a group of people rely on this to relieve their boredom.
On this day, everyone gathered together to roll the thunder stone, the mountain stone rumbled and rolled down the hillside, although it was very monotonous, but the fun of the mountain people was very simple, even if a group of people just played with a stone, they were very happy.
Coincidentally, just when Qu Xihuai and the others were prying a big stone, the sharp-eyed Qu Xihuai suddenly found something in the crack of the stone.
At that time, this thing was very inconspicuous, it looked like a piece of cardboard, Qu Xihuai curiously pulled this thing out from under the stone, it felt heavy, more than a foot long, and it seemed to be like a piece of metal.
Qu Xihuai took out a towel to wipe off the soil on it at that time, looking at this thing yellow and clear, although it was still not very eye-catching, but Qu Xihuai was also very happy, because he felt that this was a copper plate, and he could sell it for a few bucks if he took it back.
In this way, Qu Xihuai took the copper plate home and beckoned the whole family to come and see, saying that it was picked up on Songshan Mountain. The whole family was also very happy, but as soon as they watched like this, a clear-eyed family member said that this thing was probably not copper.
The family said that if it was copper, it had been buried in the soil on the mountain for an unknown amount of time, and it was supposed to grow patina, but there was no trace of rust in this thing, and I am afraid that it was a piece of gold.
Hearing this, Qu Xihuai was very happy, if it was really gold, good guy, this big piece is more than half a catty, how much is it worth?
But whether this thing is gold or not, no one can be sure, because at that time, there were few people in the village who had ever seen gold, and then Qu Xihuai's father came up with an idea, saying that there is such an old saying, real gold is not afraid of fire, whether it is gold or copper, throw it into the fire and burn it, you will know.
As soon as Qu Xihuai heard that it made sense, he was about to throw this thing into the stove, but at this moment, among the people who came to see the excitement at home, a person stopped Qu Xihuai and said don't rush to burn it first, there seems to be words on it.
Qu Xihuai really didn't pay attention to the words on it, and when he heard this, he hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve again, and after a closer look, there were words on it, and it was typeset vertically, and it looked like it had been a few years.
At this time, Qu Xihuai understood a little in his heart, whether this thing is gold or copper, just rushing to these words, it must have an extraordinary origin.
But the words on this copper plate, none of the whole family can recognize, Qu Xihuai himself has only been in elementary school for a few years, and then went to the village to teach Mr. Teacher, but this teacher looked at it for a long time, and only recognized a few of the words, still not able to recognize them all, only vaguely distinguished, this thing seems to have something to do with a person surnamed "Wu".
After failing to find someone to identify it several times, Qu Xihuai decided that it was a treasure, so he no longer showed it to others, but carefully collected it. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news that Qu Xihuai picked up the treasure soon spread outside, until one day, a Shandong man came to Qu Xihuai and said that he wanted to buy this thing.
Qu Xihuai is very strange, because so far he hasn't even figured out what this thing is, why did someone come to the door to buy it?
But the man not only insisted on buying it, but also offered a price, a thousand yuan.
When Qu Xihuai heard this price, he was immediately startled, in that era, the monthly salary of people in the city was only a few dozen yuan, and 1,000 yuan was a sky-high price for a rural farmer.
In fact, for him, even if this treasure has the value of historical relics, it can't be eaten or drunk, especially when he just got married and needed money, so Qu Xihuai was really a little tempted at that time.
But after discussing it with his daughter-in-law, he still decided that this thing could not be sold, or rather, he did not dare to sell it.
At that time, the peasants were simple and knew that the cultural relics belonged to the state, and in the past, someone dug up a porcelain or something in the ground, and handed it over to the state.
But the Shandong man didn't give up, he thought that his price was low, so he raised the price for the second time and directly quoted a high price of 5,000 yuan.
Qu Xihuai and his family were frightened at the time, but there was too much money, and the two of them didn't dare to do anything illegal, so the Shandong people were ruthless and continued to increase the price, 10,000!
But Qu Xihuai's attitude is very firm and he doesn't sell!
The Shandong man was puzzled and asked Qu Xihuai, saying that you are too dead-eyed, and you are not tempted by such a large amount of money. Qu Xihuai said that it is false to say that he is not moved, but this thing is not personal, and he cannot sell the country's treasures in order to make a fortune.
So the Shandong man said to Qu Xihuai, let's do it this way, let's have a hammer deal, I won't talk nonsense with you, 100,000 yuan, let's make a deal directly.
100,000 yuan, Qu Xihuai almost couldn't believe his ears, in 1982, this 100,000 yuan was definitely an astronomical amount, not to mention a rural farmer, even a city person, I didn't dare to imagine what a huge amount of money this was.
Such a thing picked up in the mountains is worth such a large sum of money, Qu Xihuai just can't even dream of it, is this Shandong man telling the truth?
The man also clearly saw Qu Xihuai's hesitation, so he began to take out the money from the bag he was carrying.
When stacks of money were placed in front of Qu Xihuai, for him, this was simply the legendary gold mountain, but when the money was really placed in front of him, Qu Xihuai felt that it was so unreal.
At this time, his heart was shaken, because the money in the room was already within reach, but at the same time, he was even more afraid, and even broke out in a cold sweat.
Something wasn't right, he felt.
Such a large sum of money could well be the beginning of a disaster for him.
Not only Qu Xihuai himself, his family unanimously disagreed to sell this treasure, for an ordinary peasant family, no matter how much money there is, it is not as important as the safety of the whole family, no matter how much money there is, it may not make people's hearts feel steady, and even, this person is now the god of wealth of the whole family, but if he turns his head, he may become a vicious life-seeker.
Windfalls are often followed by disasters.
Qu Xihuai, who is old and young, did not take risks, he still rejected the Shandong man who did not hesitate to pay a high price of 100,000 yuan to buy this thing of unknown origin.
At that time, in fact, this Shandong man was also very suspicious, just think about it, in that era, who could casually take out 100,000 yuan? And it was the first time they met, and that person came to the door with 100,000 yuan on his back, in case this person was from some kind of criminal gang, wouldn't it be on a thief ship?
But what he didn't expect was that a few days later, this person came again, and in front of Qu Xihuai, he bit his finger on the spot and wrote him a bloody letter.
The blood book said that after the treasure was sold, half of the proceeds would be given to Qu Xihuai, and the blood book was hereby set up as proof!
At that time, Qu Xihuai was holding the blood book, but he was even more scared, and he was more determined not to sell it, he refused the man and said that the baby was gone, and he didn't know where it went.
In fact, he just wrapped the baby and hid it in the big closet, after the Shandong man left, he was frightened, worried and afraid, and he didn't even dare to take off his clothes when he slept, for fear that the baby would really be stolen.
That night, Qu Xihuai had nightmares, his eyes were full of blood, and when he closed his eyes, it was the terrible blood letter.
Later, after a few days, he was worried all day long, Qu Xihuai felt that such a day was really unbearable, and he didn't dare to sell the treasure after picking up it, and someone came to worry about it every day, so he made up his mind to hand over this thing to the country.
In this way, he finally handed over this plate to the local cultural relics department, and as soon as it was born, it caused a sensation in the national archaeological circles, and after some research, it was concluded that this plate was originally Wu Zetian's criminal removal Jin Jian, which belonged to the national first-class key protected cultural relics.
Many of the words on this sin removal slip were created by Wu Zetian himself, so ordinary people don't know them at all, and only archaeological experts can interpret them.
Some people say that Wu Zetian believes in Buddhism and believes in Taoism, and Wu Zetian in his later years has a great sense of guilt for countless killings in the past, and he often trembles and can't sleep at night, and at the same time has a premonition that his qi is about to run out.
In ancient times, Wuyue was said to be the place where the gods lived, so Wu Zetian wanted to refine the elixir for her Taoist priest Hu Chao, to create a golden Jane, and after the ceremony of sacrificing the three officials and nine mansions was held in Songshan, Hu Chao threw this golden slip in the valley on the north side of the Junji Peak in Songshan Mountain, so as to ask for help from God's blessing.
This history, if it weren't for the birth of the crime-removing Jin Jian, I am afraid that it would be forever wiped out in the long river of history, Wu Zetian gave the heavens the crime-removing Jin Jian, after more than a thousand years, but fell into the hands of an ordinary peasant, perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate.
After Qu Xihuai handed over the cultural relics to the state, the relevant departments also held a commendation meeting in the local area and rewarded him with 1,500 yuan, and since then, Qu Xihuai has continued to live in the small village at the foot of Songshan Mountain.
But fate is impermanent, and after more than 20 years of silence, this matter began to be lively again.
The village party secretary finally told us this story with a wry smile, the experience is very detailed, and even the place where Jin Jian was found also told us: the valley on the north side of Dengfengtan on the extreme peak of Songshan Mountain.
Come to think of it, even if we find Qu Xihuai himself, he will at most tell us this, as for asking him to take us to the mountains to find that place, it seems a bit wishful thinking, who would want to find that trouble for himself?
Even if we learned about this, in fact, it was because I helped the village just now, otherwise, a village party secretary, where would he have the spare time to tell us this.
But after the village party secretary finished speaking, Ansari suddenly asked: "I still want to know, after Qu Xihuai got the golden Jane, the only person who came to buy the treasure was the Shandong person, and did he leave any original information about the treasure, for example, photos?" ”
The village party secretary waved his hand again and again: "What are you kidding, in those years, where did you get the camera, as for the people who came to ask for treasures, there are actually still them, but they are not obvious, they are the most scary of writing blood books."
He suddenly slapped his slap and said, "I remember, what did Qu Xihuai do to that Jin Jian back then, it seems to be called rubbing." ”
"Rubbing?" Ansari's eyes lit up, "Can you take us to see it?" ”
The village party secretary said with a little embarrassment: "This, Qu Xihuai has long been hidden as a baby, it's not easy to get it, besides, he is not at home now, as long as his old father is still there, I can't say it."
"It's easy to do." Ansari said and suddenly took out a document from his body, handed it over, and the village party secretary took it and looked at it, and immediately touched his head: "Yo, dare to love you as a reporter."
What, journalists?
I looked at Ansari blankly, and I was dumbfounded, when did this guy become a reporter? .
