The fat man had heavy hands, and it was too late to regret it, and he comforted himself: "The whole broken thing is jade, and it is still those things inside and out." ”

Under the two layers of wax and jade, there is also a layer of cork, it seems that these items are moisture-proof and anti-corrosion, what is it that should be kept so closely?

The contents of the gourd cave are inextricably linked with the king and his high priest. The fact that the kings themselves did not preside over the rituals but had a high priest indicates that they were a system of separation of church and state, rather than the unity of church and state that was common in the ancient Chinese frontier regions.

The cork texture is very dense, this time the fat man learned to be obedient, afraid of breaking the valuable things in it again, and did not dare to use brute force again, but he was eager to collect the strength, so he had to take the sapper shovel to shovel off the sawdust little by little.

I looked at the jade pieces that fell to the ground, and felt a little strange, so I picked up a few pieces of residual jade, only to see that the jade shells were engraved with extremely fine clouds, and my heart moved, and I thought to myself: "Could it be that it is also a vessel engraved with a spell?" Under this waxy jade shell cork is the soul of a dead soul who died with hatred? ”

I asked the fat man to pause for a moment, squatted down with Shirley Yang to look at the jade pieces that had not been smashed, and scraped off the wax on the surface with a paratrooper knife. The crystal jade shell shows some patterns, there are dragons, tigers, beasts, and sacred mountains and sacred trees, there are obvious traces of totemism, especially the steep and steep tall peaks, the weather is strict, the clouds are sealed and the fog is locked, it seems that the surface is the scene of the dragon mountain in ancient myths and legends.

However, these totemic patterns are far from what we know and hear, and they have a strong color of ancient minorities. There is a part of the hunting scene under the mountain in the picture, and the weapons used in it are very peculiar, and the shapes are all stone tools.

The jade eggs are not natural, and even the jade material is not a whole piece, there are obvious traces of splicing, and they are all old jade. I said to Shirley Yang and the fat man: "This thing is not trivial, I am afraid that it is an antiquity of the Neolithic Age four or five thousand years ago, it may not be a thing to sacrifice to the king, maybe it is an artifact enshrined in the cave of the mountain god by the local ancestors of Shalong Mountain, and it should not be acted lightly." ”

The fat man said: "Commander Hu, don't be sloppy with me, I am also an expert in the antique industry for many years, and I am also the number one person in Panjiayuan." As far as I know, four or five thousand years ago was still the Stone Age, and at that time, human beings did not use tools that were harder than jade, so how could it be possible to process jade materials and make such complex jade carvings? I think this is dedicated to the king and the old man. Let's do what we said before, all the Ming weapons of this old ghost, let's all connect the nest, you don't have another branch, come up with some Stone Age terms to bluff me. ”

I said to the fat man: "I said Commander Wang, let's not fight, you might as well let Chief of Staff Yang tell me, she is better than the two of us, right?" ”

The fat man nodded and said, "Then let the American consultant identify it, but she is only better than you, and compared with my level, she is only between the best and the best......"

Shirley Yang said: "These jade materials are not common, and I can't tell what age they are. However, in the Stone Age, human beings have indeed mastered the processing technology of jade, and the first dragon in China unearthed from the Hongshan culture, including the ancient cultural relics of Liangzhu in the Yangtze River basin, have unearthed a large number of beautifully manufactured jade. However, for that period when it was still relatively primitive and barbaric, how human beings used backward tools to make these jade artifacts has not yet been definitively concluded in the archaeological community, and it is an unsolved mystery. ”

When the fat man heard that the original conclusion was still inconclusive, he did not seek much understanding at the moment, and picked up the sapper shovel and continued to dig the thick layer of cork.

I had no choice but to let him do it, in fact, I was also eager to see what it was, the only thing I was worried about was that it would be some artifact enshrined by the Yi people, and once it was taken out, it would cause some unpredictable incident. We have had enough troubles along the way, although we are not dead, we can be regarded as picking up a layer of skin, and most of the equipment has been consumed.

The fat man had done all this, and his hands and feet were so neat that he had only half a cigarette to peel off the cork, and saw a dark blue clay pot wrapped in the dark brown cork.

I reached out with the fat man and carefully lifted the jar out of the cork and placed it on the ground. The cyan jar is about 40 centimeters tall and 10 centimeters in diameter at its thickest point. Straight mouth, tall body, bulging belly, thin neck, three low hoop feet skimmed outward, the mouth of the can is completely sealed, the shoulder of the can is close to the mouth of the bottle, there are five short tubes with strange shapes, like the spout of a wine jug, but the mouth is sealed, and the root is connected with the diamond-shaped lines on the body of the can, which is very three-dimensional.

We looked at this simple-shaped, warm-colored jar, and we didn't know what it was, even Shirley Yang couldn't guess for a while, but there was no sign of a sorcerous trick on this finely made clay pot, and it was not expected that there was anything vicious in it.

As soon as I thought about it, I had already taken it out anyway, so I simply opened it to take a look, so I used a paratrooper knife to remove the paint wax that sealed the mouth of the can. The fat man became cautious at this time, for fear that I would accidentally break the clay pot, and reminded me again and again to move lightly, maybe the contents were not as valuable as this exquisite jar, and it was worthless if it was broken.

As I spoke, I had already pulled the lid of the can, and the three of them were very curious, so they immediately squeezed over to look inside the narrow mouth of the can, and saw that the jar was full of water.

When I saw that this jar was full of unusually clear water, I couldn't help but draw a question mark in my mind, can a jar of water be used so secretly?

Shirley Yang suspected that the tactical spotlight on the helmet was indistinguishable, so he took out the wolf's eye flashlight, looked at it in the can, and said: "There is something under the water, what is it?" Yes...... Is it a fetus? ”

The fat man and I could see clearly that there was a small blue fetus soaked in the frighteningly clear water in the jar. Due to the limited angle, I could only see the fetus's body the size of a fist, curled up at the bottom of the can, with its head tilted, as if it was looking at us, but its eyes had not yet opened. It has an extraordinarily wide brain.

How can there be a fetus here? And the size, posture and appearance are very different from the human fetus, I was amazed, stared slightly, and suddenly saw that the fetus seemed to open its eyes suddenly, and at that moment, in the shaking water light, it was like two black holes opening bigger and bigger, wanting to engulf people.

I felt a chill in my heart, hurriedly took a step back, almost sat down on the ground, pointed to the jar and asked thoughtlessly, "What the hell is this?" Then subconsciously went to dig out the black donkey's hooves.

Shirley Young asked me, "What are you doing weirdly?" Where is there a ghost in the good end, this fetus is a piece of jade. ”

I swore to God, "Promise the ** that the imp just glared at me...... Still baring his teeth. "I felt that the act just now was quite embarrassing, so I added half a sentence at the end, so that the gaffe was more understandable.

The fat man said to me, "Are you dazzled?" Why are we watching together, but I don't see anything wrong. ”

Shirley Yang said: "It may be that the water in the jar refracts the light, and your angle is more clever, so you are dazzled." If you don't believe that you poured out the water in the jar, whether this fetus is jade or not, you can tell at a glance. ”

Shirley Young said that the water in it was too clear, it might be some kind of special liquid, don't pour it on the ground first, make a kettle to fill it, and then pour it back again after seeing the details of the blue fetus. We're just here to collect information about the tomb of the king, so don't damage these magical artifacts.

The fat man was also a little stunned by this jade tire, and temporarily lost the idea of packing it back to Beijing, planning to see it clearly before making a plan, if it is really jade, it is not too late to pack it; If it's a living creature, it's really inappropriate to carry it with you. At the moment, he did as he was told, and poured the water from the jar into an empty kettle, but the baby in it was wider than the narrow mouth of the jar, and it could not be taken out without destroying the jar, but it looked much clearer.

It is indeed a jade fetus, at least the upper body is very similar, the fingers of the small hands can be counted, and even the blood vessels in the forehead are clearly identifiable, but the lower body has not yet been formed.

There is no trace of artificial carving in this jade fetus, it seems to be naturally generated, and the wonder of nature's creation is really unfathomable. If it weren't just the size of a fist, it would really make people think that it was a living fetus, and it was turned into jade by an evil method.

Could this be the artifact used by the local people of Shalong Mountain to worship the mountain god in ancient times?
