Chapter 252: Good Excuse

Put away the baby, go home, and return with a full load. Let Hei Feng choose two pieces of jewelry he likes, and pack the rest of the jewelry to Tiancheng Auction. As for the copper furnace and Kunwu knife, it is natural to collect them.

"Nine Dragons Sword...... King of Chu Sword ...... Kungo Knife!"

Wen Yiming looked at the three legendary divine weapons, the Nine Dragons Sword is the most gorgeous and an absolute status symbol; the sword of the King of Chu can be rigid and soft, and it is extremely sharp; the Kunwu knife sharpens iron like clay, cuts gold and jade, all of which are treasures.

Wait for the completion of the Ming Yuanzhai Museum, open up a theme exhibition hall, and specialize in a magic weapon hall to display the legendary swords and swords.

Shou County, known as Shouzhou in ancient times, is rich in cultural relics resources and has many underground cultural relics.

When everyone came to the destination, Wen Yiming looked at the small county town and sighed: "What interests the tomb robbers of the Republic of China the most is the widely distributed Chu cultural sites in the territory. ”

"The Chu people migrated eastward, and the last capital of the Chu State was in Shou County. After the death of the king of Chu and his royal family, they were buried in the southeastern suburbs of Shouchun. Here east to the big ancient duiji, west to Wabu Lake, south to Zhuang tomb bridge, north to Laishanji, in its range of more than 100 square kilometers, the ancient mound is relatively concentrated, is the burial area of the king of Chu and the nobles. ”

"No one knows how many treasures are buried in the ground? Even if it is Li Pinxian, in fact, the last time he robbed the tomb here was just a filter pit, and he was not the first thief at all!"

Everyone drove while looking for clues, and went directly to the nearby barren mountain, so that Jinbao began to search. Wen Yiming said: "As early as 1933, Li Sangudui was stolen and dug by the locals, which was the largest tomb robbery incident among the people of Shou County - tomb robbery and famine. ”

According to local chronicles, in 1931, there was a flood in the Huaihe River basin, and there was a large-scale famine, especially in Shou County. One bad thing after another, the following year there was a long period of no rain, there was a drought, and a large number of people were hungry and cold, and they were uprooted from their homes. ”

In the name of saving the famine, the director of the joint security came up with the idea of an ancient tomb, believing that Li San's ancient mound was by no means an ordinary ancient mound, it should be an ancient tomb, in which antiquities must be buried, and advocated digging up the ancient mound. If the antiquities are really dug up, they can be sold for a lot of money, and they can be used as disaster relief funds. ”

In fact, there will be sporadic antiquities unearthed from time to time in this area, when the local farmers ploughed the fields near the ancient pile and raked the ground, they found many bronzes such as ding, pots, gui, pickaxes, etc., as well as hooks, mirrors, chariot and horse ornaments, etc. These antiquities were quickly taken away by antique dealers who had heard the news from Beiping. ”

Under the instruction of local officials, Zhu Hongchu and Pang Ziping, two figures with a little face in the local area, came forward to organize a large number of villagers to rob the tomb and dig frantically. ”

Although there were more than 100 people involved in tomb robbing, they were not professional tomb robbers after all, so they dug up for a month without seeing any antiquities, and had no clue. Later, three tomb masters were invited from the Central Plains: Wang Huaide, Ji Huabang, and Zhang Yuanchang. The so-called grave master is a tomb robber with professional skills, and in addition to obtaining the normal appearance fee, the tomb master often participates in the transaction of unearthed stolen goods and makes a profit. ”

The three tomb robbers were professional tomb robbers, who first started from four sides to find the four walls of the tomb, and then found a tomb road on the northeast and northwest sides of the ancient mound, and instructed the migrant workers on how to excavate them. ”

"Under the guidance of the grave master, the harvest soon came, and the treasures began to appear, and the bronze artifacts appeared. The more I dig, the more I dig, in addition to a large number of bronzes, there are other scattered stone tools. In order to ensure that the cultural relics are not privately embezzled, the antiquities excavated every day are registered in detail with the name, number of pieces and premises. ”

The Hummer went all the way over the mountains, and thanks to the Black Tiger's good driving skills, he followed Jinbao everywhere to find it. Wen Yiming sat leisurely in the back compartment and told Hei Feng a story: "Finally, the tomb was finally dug up, and more than 4,000 antiquities were unearthed. The treasure of the Provincial Museum, the Casting Ke Dading is unearthed from this tomb robbery. ”

"Because there were so many antiquities unearthed, it was rumored that it was not a tomb that was dug up, but a secret cellar full of treasures. The news soon made the antique dealers in Beiping learn that they rushed to Shou County to buy. The incident of tomb robbery spread farther and farther, and became more and more serious, and there was a great deal of movement at home and abroad, including the "Peiping Morning Post". ”

"The local government had to intervene to recover the stolen artifacts, prohibit further excavations, and close the excavated burial chambers, and the burial goods were not completely excavated because of the official blockage, but the opportunity was reserved for future tomb robbers. ”

"There are treasures under Li Sangudui, which everyone knows, and the tomb robbers will naturally not forget it. Two years later, the ancient mound was once again patronized by local tomb robbers, who dug up hundreds of cultural relics. ”

"Most of the more than 4,000 antiquities unearthed were scattered, and most of the antiquities stolen were sold by Zhu Hongchu and Pang Ziping at that time, and their whereabouts were divided into two major pieces: public collection and private collection, and some of them are missing. ”

Everyone came to the famous Li Sangu pile, now there is no existence, the big puddle that became because of the excavation is now a deep pond, and the surrounding area is open. Wen Yiming sighed: "If it wasn't stolen, but a regular archaeological excavation, Li Sangudui would bring a huge surprise to the world, but it's a pity that an ancient tomb was so savagely stolen and destroyed!"

Squatting down and grabbing a handful of soil, he said with a smile: "The cultural relics resources in Shou County are too abundant, and the small county-level museum alone has more than 160 pieces of cultural relics of the national treasure level! There are more than 160 existing ancient tombs and historic sites identified in the county, including more than 10 in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, more than 80 ancient tombs, and 29 ancient ruins. ”

"The tomb of Marquis Cai, the tomb of the king of Chu, the tomb of the king of Huainan, the tomb of Lianpo, the tomb of Mizi. The ruins of the ancient Yingdu, the ruins of Anfengtang, and the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Huangshui. Chunshenfang, Shigong Ancestral Hall, Fighting Terrace, Lv Mengzheng Han Kiln, Chen Yucheng Prison Cell, Zhuangyuan Mansion, Huaiwang Danjing, the stars are dense, countless. ”

"Let's go, there's a discovery!"

Suddenly, Jinbao flew to the northwest, and everyone was so excited that they quickly followed, until they came to a stop next to a remote grove and began to dig under a large locust tree.

"It's ......"

Sure enough, there are three big boxes, open and Wen Yiming took out a huge bronze pot, which is engraved with an inscription: Wang Twenty and six years, the saint's wife Zeng Ji has no shirts, the house is Yangling, there is nothing between Artemisia, with Zhazong Yizun pot, the heir Yongzhi, in the royal family.

"Zeng Ji has no shirtless pot?

Zeng Ji shirtless pot, also known as Zeng Ji shirtless pot or matchless pot, was unearthed in 1933 in Anhui Shou County, Lishan Gudui Chuyou King Tomb, at that time attracted the attention of the historical circles, because there is no record of Zeng Guo in history.

Later, the relics of Zeng Guo were continuously unearthed in northern Hunan and the Central Plains, especially the excavation of the tomb of Zeng Marquis Yi in Suixian, which finally confirmed the existence of Zeng Guo in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Zeng Ji shirtless pot, according to experts speculate that there are two pieces of the same type, there should be a pair, there are 39 words of inscription, only one was found that year, and there is a nowhere to be found, I didn't expect it to be here?

"National treasure, absolute national treasure!"

Last time, nine bronzes were found in the bomb shelter, each with an inscription, and this time there is another one, making up ten pieces, perfect.

"Look, sir!"

Black Tiger took out the black cloth bag from the other boxes, opened it and handed it over, Wen Yiming took it and said with a smile: "The Blood Qin Jade Cicada? It should be the most exquisite mouth jade among the Nine Trick Jade." It is usually a jade cicada, and the ancients superstitious that cicadas can shed their skin and be reborn, so they are used to stuff them into their mouths and bury them. ”

After cleaning it with water, the jade quality is the best mutton fat, and it is even more rare to be a real blood Qin ancient jade, but it is blocked by the thin soil outside, and it can be restored to its original state as long as it is plated for a few days.

You must know that the ancient jade with blood is the ultimate goal of any jade collector, because compared with the Tuqin and Shui Qin, these Qin colors, and even the three Qin colors and four Qin colors are even rarer, because the jade has red Qin, it means that the deceased are mostly tied up alive, and then killed alive with the murder weapon, and the blood that flows out is soaked into the jade, becoming a veritable blood Qin.

After the Qin Dynasty, the burial of living people has basically disappeared, and the formation and excavation of bloody jade are naturally rare!
