"Dear friends, in world archaeology, the study of ancient corpses has always been the top priority. Every inconspicuous dry bone can lead to a serious archaeological find. In the study of ancient corpses, they are roughly divided into wax corpses, mixed corpses, dried corpses, and wet corpses according to their types, among which the most well-preserved wet corpses have the greatest research value. ”

"And in addition to these four types, there are also some more magical and mysterious ancient corpses. Including the well-known Loulan 'beauty', as well as the 'immortal saint' Bernadette, as well as the Buddhist golden body, relics and so on. ”

"Zi is silent, strange and confused. As a scientist, and especially as an archaeologist, we have to peel back the veil of the occult, to go around the realm of religious belief, to confront the essence of things – but today we have to admit that there are things that are beyond our imagination. ”

This male voice is very attractive and very good at stirring up the atmosphere. As he narrates, everyone is gradually brought into the scene. Everyone began to understand what kind of tomb was discovered by what kind of strange accident. According to the introduction, it is basically a truthful restoration of the interior appearance of the mausoleum, which looks mysterious but not gloomy, and it can be seen that it has taken a lot of thought and cost.

Of course, all exhibition descriptions, like tour guides of scenic spots, must first lay out enough gimmicks. And the ancient corpses in this exhibition, from the discovery, the arrival history, to the unique geographical location of the Silk Road, are full of gimmicks, which can be said to be everywhere. For a while, just a short film aroused everyone's interest.

"I said, how did you become interested in this kind of thing?" Xiao Jingzhe asked quietly, "The queen likes electronic, mechanical, and high-tech things so much. One mind runs into the future. But you look back. Can there really be such a big difference between siblings?"

"You, who have been wandering around the world of Western elements, will not understand that for us, looking back at history is a necessary basic skill. Yang Qi shrugged: "Maybe one day we will travel to a place 1,800 years ago?"

Xiao Jingzhe was a little disapproving: "The ancient world that is close to the real history is difficult for you, and the world that is rare to live in you will not be close to the real history." ”

"What you say is reasonable-" Yang Qi first admitted calmly, and then his eyes narrowed and his face was sinister: "But I'm just willing to come and go around, how can I drop it!

Xiao Jingzhe was dumbfounded, shook his head and sighed: "I believe that the two of you are a family now......"

When the two of them were chatting and farting. After the short film is broadcast, we start to get to the point. A host came to the stage to guide the entire process of the exhibition. There are many mysteries about the Corpse King, but every marketing has the same tradition, which is to start small and then big, starting with the smallest gimmick. For example, the cultural relics accompanying the burial, the richness of the jade, the specifications of the sculptures, etc., were all explained by the staff who participated in the archaeological excavation at that time.

Listening carefully, Xiao Jingzhe found that he had indeed gained a lot of knowledge. The dazzling jargon is omitted, and in general, the tombs of ancient people are the same as the modern people buying houses. Those who have a lot of cattle live in as big a house, as much furniture as they use, and as much land as they occupy. And the only purpose of these staff's repeated renderings is only to let everyone deeply understand one thing from all angles - this corpse king is definitely beyond imagination.

Small objects that can be physically displayed have come to the stage for the audience to see. And what can't be physically displayed, such as an extremely large tomb, can only be used again in short films.

"When the staff walked into the tomb, everyone was shocked! This mausoleum is made of copper and iron in an extremely luxurious way!" Many people think that the person who recorded this program must be the famous person who approached science, and he spoke with great emotion.

"Iron smelting technology in ancient China originated in the Warring States period and was more developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were constant wars, and the consumption of iron for weapons was extremely high, and the price of iron remained high. However, this mausoleum is cast with steel as a whole, which consumes extraordinary manpower, financial and material resources, and can be called unprecedented. Such a huge project, I am afraid that the difficulty is no less than the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, let alone three years and five years can be completed, but it is difficult to find its traces in the history books, which is one of the doubts. ”

As soon as this article was said, many viewers mentioned God.

"Before the Industrial Revolution, steel smelting was handmade in small workshops. Its finished products are all pieces of metal blanks and metal blocks, and it is difficult to produce large finished products. However, after strict calculations by experts and scholars at home and abroad, the bronze tomb of the Corpse King is unexpectedly integrated! Even after repeated careful investigation, not even a single crack can be found! In the archaeological circles, the meticulous construction technology of the Egyptian pyramids has always been talked about by people. But compared to this seamless tomb, the pyramid is just a shoddy tofu scum project, which can only be dwarfed and bowed to the wind. Such a spectacle is the second doubt. ”

As soon as this article was said, even Xiao Jingzhe was energetic.

"And the most mysterious thing is the scenery in the tomb. The whole tomb is modeled on the imperial palace, but Tongling is an inverted middle palace hall. Although Feng Shui is not believable, according to the concept of the ancients, such a positive and a reverse, one life and one death, is the most extreme layout in the world. If you interpret it according to ancient feng shui, this iron tomb is the most auspicious and the fierce, and it is the place of life and death. The burial of the ancients was more careful and elegant, and such a layout can be called incredible, which is the third doubt. ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Qi also narrowed his eyes and pinched his chin. As this short film says, the burial of ancient people, especially the burial of emperors, is absolutely so particular that it can no longer be paid attention to. Not even talking about ancient people, even modern people, when building a big project or project, it is not uncommon for them to secretly find great immortals to measure feng shui. The Iron Tomb Tongling, one positive and one reverse, life and death coexist, and it also has the atmosphere of the emperor, it is indeed very strange to think about it.

"In the mausoleum, wall carvings and patterns can be seen everywhere, all over the interior of the mausoleum. These patterns are mysterious and strange, and if you stare at them for a long time, you will even lose your mind in a daze. The utensils and burial goods placed in the tomb are all exquisite and coincidental. 1,800 years have passed, and almost all of them have been preserved. Of the six dragon pillars in the tomb, only one is broken. The artistic value is extremely high. ”

"These patterns. It does not appear in any historical records. But there is a law on its own. Art is never isolated, a novel art genre that may represent a civilization that has never been discovered. This kind of sign makes all experts and scholars wonder who the owner of the tomb is. ”

The film kept playing, but Yang Qi suddenly frowned.

There are not many shots of the internal patterns of the mausoleum on the screen, most of them are taken casually, obviously because the gimmicks of these patterns are not weighty enough. But Yang Qi involuntarily reproduced and restored these patterns in his mind. Because the tomb is very old. Even if Dunhuang is dry and dry, the metal is still inevitably rusty, and many lines are not clear. But Yang Qi still felt that there was something incomprehensible about these patterns that attracted him.

"Do you think those patterns are a little familiar?" Yang Qi was thinking about it, and Xiao Jingzhe had already spoken. He leaned over and frowned and whispered, "I always feel like I've seen something like this somewhere." ”

"I feel the same way. Yang Qi pondered for a moment, and then shook his head suspiciously: "But I can't remember where I've seen it." "This thing is very weird, with his current mental power and memory, if he really sees something similar, he should react immediately. But now it seems like there's a burp in the esophagus that can't be punched. You know it's there, but you can't get it.

This feeling. It was really rare for him, which made Yang Qi frown and think.

Xiao Jingzhe also felt something familiar, so the most likely thing was that he had seen it in the Pacific World, after all, there was only one copy that he had placed with him. However, the Pacific world is full of bang, knock and knock from beginning to end, and I don't think of any artistic and mysterious patterns.

Where have you seen it, and how could it be found in an ancient tomb?

Just thinking about it, the host was already excited and introduced loudly: "Now, I would like to invite the master of Chinese archaeology: Professor He Yichen and He, to reveal the true identity of the owner of the tomb!"

In a round of applause, a white-haired old professor took the stage, and it was the old professor who went to the excavation site to preside over the opening of the coffin. He has the bookish air of an intellectual, dressed plainly and simply, and it can be seen that he is not very accustomed to this kind of occasion, and he is even slightly restrained when he first comes on stage, which is easy to make people feel good.

He immediately calmed down, picked up the microphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have just heard and seen a lot, and I know that everyone must think that this tomb is very mysterious. But I would say that the real mystery of this tomb is more mysterious, more magical, more incredible than what you have seen up until now, taken together, and multiplied by a square. ”

"Oh?!" was supposed to be quiet when looking at the exhibition, which was basic etiquette. But hearing the old professor swear so much, the audience couldn't help but cry out: "What the hell is it?"

"It's the owner of the tomb itself!" the old professor beckoned, and a large object rose from the middle of the stage amid a mechanical sound. It was covered with red silk cloth, but looking at the boxy shape and size, everyone immediately understood something.

"Everyone. Professor He grabbed a corner of the red silk with one hand: "Everyone is lucky to have a close contact, in the history of world archaeology, an unprecedented and peerless wonder-!"

Well, the red silk was torn off, revealing an upright transparent crystal coffin. The spotlight immediately connected seamlessly, and the crystal coffin instantly sparkled with a snap of the light from multiple angles. The audience immediately stretched their necks, and the little Lori who lost the ticket couldn't help but stand up. As the red silk fell, everyone stared and was in an uproar, and then instinctively wanted to take out their mobile phones and post on Weibo.

Yang Qi and Xiao Jingzhe also showed a glimmer of light, one was the spiritual light that opened the supervision, and the other was the holy light that couldn't control the overflow. The two of them took a clear look at the person in the coffin, probably a person, for a moment, and then couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw the surprise on each other's faces.

Before they came, they really didn't expect to see such a thing.

It was a man completely wrapped in jade...... It is not figurative to say this, but it is more accurate to say that if the jade can be melted like wax, then the tomb owner in front of him is like being thrown into the "jade water" and rolled around, and then taken up to cool and dry.

The whole body shape of the "jade man" is no different from that of a normal person, and it can be seen that the figure is even very well-proportioned and perfect. But his facial features are blurred, like a slightly abstract model in a clothing store.

This person is high-crowned and broad-banded. A dark tiara dress. It's not flashy, but it's extravagant. Although there is no vitality, it is very graceful. The "jade man" on the high stage is taller than everyone else, and everyone has the illusion that they are being looked down upon when they see it. In this environment, in this situation, it is really shocking to look at it coldly.

The old professor introduced loudly with full of anger: "This is the owner of the silver coffin and golden coffin of the Iron Tomb Tongling, a mysterious person buried with specifications beyond the Son of Heaven: the Demon Capital Corpse King, the Black Death Emperor!"

The Black Death Emperor - the audience instantly began to exchange ears. The noise and exclamation continued. The so-called strange people have their own visions, but today's visions are a little too mysterious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when the nobles of the Han Dynasty were buried, the highest burial goods were the golden jade clothes, also known as the recycled clothes. The purer, more intimate and delicate the jade, the more valuable it is. So far, I have participated in the excavation of many Han tombs, and I have been fortunate to see several sets of recycled protective clothing. But like today's ......" Professor He smiled slightly bitterly: "To be honest, I was shocked when I first opened the coffin. It's really ...... Seamless. ”

"Professor, I want to ask!" a spectator couldn't help it. Standing up and asking, "Jade is hard, how can it be attached to a person without any gaps?" It can't be a real corpse!"

The professor was not annoyed, nodded and said, "After discovering this corpse king, many of our colleagues have put forward various conjectures, including the two hypotheses of 'jade wrapped corpse' and 'jade carved corpse'. Later, through the all-round scanning of the precision instrument, we ended up with no result. ”

"What?" the audience was in an uproar, and the person who asked the question shouted, "This kind of thing, can't you know it by scanning it, how can there be no result?"

"It really didn't work out. The old professor looked at the jade corpse and also showed a complicated expression: "We have used lasers, ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance, and even multiple radiation including gamma rays, and all the detection methods that can be thought of have been used, but there has been no progress. None of these detection methods can pierce this layer of jade material without any gaps, nor can it be observed what is going on inside it. ”

"Huh?!" everyone couldn't help but scream. Because what Professor He said was so ridiculous, it made them feel like they were "catching up with a live alien documentary".

But they were obviously surprised too soon, because Professor He immediately threw out an even more exciting news.

"The only thing we got from the detection was that this layer of what looked like jade was not jade at all. When Professor He said this, he was already a little excited, and his voice tended to be high-pitched: "There is no kind of jade that can block so many detection methods, all the rays shine on it, and it cannot penetrate or reflect, and this corpse is like no zài on the instrument! But in the end, it was found that this layer of jade-like material was actually extremely strong, and there was no way to cut it under the existing conditions. We drilled several drill bits to get only a small sample of powder. After studying the powder, we found out—!"

Speaking of which, all the audience got excited and waited for the following. And the old professor looked at the excited audience below, but suddenly got stuck. He opened his mouth and stared, as if he wanted to say something, but finally took two deep breaths and calmed down, then shook his head and said, "I found that I couldn't determine the elemental composition of the powder." Whether it is heating, pressurization, strong acid, or strong alkali, it cannot produce a chemical reaction. We have contacted a real room and conducted a high temperature test of up to 7,000 degrees Celsius, and there is still no sign of melting. In the next step, we plan to contact the real room of nuclear physics to conduct research at the atomic level, and perhaps then we will be able to unravel its mystery. ”

Buzz, all the audience was in an uproar. The material thrown out by the old professor was so fierce that they couldn't help but be shocked and sighed. This kind of fierce material, even if it is placed on the Internet, will attract onlookers. Even if nine out of ten people say "a good story from the editor-in-chief of Lou", the remaining one will be stunned. And in such an official 800 exhibition, when an authoritative professor in the industry said these words himself, more than one-tenth of the people were bluffed.

Many people's eyes lit up. Many people know that whether this is a jade corpse or a jade carved corpse, this mysterious "jade" alone is priceless.

This Demon Capital Corpse King is indeed an unprecedented treasure.

But Yang Qi's heart was bright, and the old professor suddenly paused when he talked about the most exciting place. This shows that he thought about it at that time. What is said now is what he thinks "can be said", and in addition to this, there are some "can't say" material. What cannot be said is probably more amazing and shocking than what has already been said.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Xiao Jingzhe suddenly whispered, "I'm thinking that this Black Death Emperor may still steal the limelight of the 'Mandate of Heaven'. Think about it, if that strange jade is really so magical, its military value will be immeasurable. When coated, it is possible to make all radars blind. When armored, can make all weapons foolish. If it is made into the shell of an intercontinental missile, then a nuclear warhead is carried ...... Hehe, I'm afraid the enemy country will go crazy. ”

Yang Qi shook his head with deep eyes, looked at Xiao Jingzhe with a strange expression, and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Uh, hehe, I know, 'how can things be so easy', right? Also, so far, there have been a lot of materials that are called 'epoch-making' and 'hanging and bombing', but in the end, none of them can blow up the sky. ”

"No, I didn't think about that. Yang Qi's expression was even more strange: "What I think is, this Black Death Emperor himself--could it be the Destiny One?" (To be continued......

PS: Just to clarify: the archaeological knowledge used in this chapter is half and half credible. Although I took the time to look up a lot of archaeological information, what I got on the Internet was ...... Hehe, you know. Plus I'm talking a little nonsense myself, so - don't believe it~~~
