Chapter 241: Glory of Kings
Wen Yiming stood up, walked in front of the black tiger, and said solemnly: "In this case, we are our own people, but your skills are not good, I will let Liu Datong exercise and train you to improve your strength as soon as possible." ”
"Not convinced?"
Wen Yiming looked at the indignant expressions of the flying knife and several people, and smiled at Liu Datong: "Why don't you move?"
Liu Datong smiled and said to the black tiger: "Don't say that I bullied you, one hand, you can do it casually!"
As soon as these words came out, who could bear it? Several people rushed forward with a roar, and in less than two minutes, all of them fell to the ground, and they even counted the black tigers as strong, and they held on for more than 20 seconds.
Wen Yiming looked at the red expressions of several people, and said with a smile: "Usually learn more from others, and it is guilty of not accepting the masters, Datong, and I will leave the rest to you." ”
He turned around and went upstairs, since he wanted to accept the Black Tiger team, he had to give them a dismount and suppress their arrogance and careful thinking. As long as you work hard, the benefits are indispensable, whether it is money or strength, you can give it yourself.
Continue to study the clues and target the third tomb robber warlord, Li Pinxian, compared to Sun Dianying's high profile, he is a smart man who makes a fortune quietly.
In 1932, there was a serious famine in Shou County, and the local gentlemen believed that Li Sangudui was by no means an ordinary mound, and there must be antiquities in it, and they all advocated that the ancient mound should be excavated, and if the antiquities could be dug up and sold for money, it could be used for disaster relief.
The local joint security director and the chief of public security mobilized hundreds of residents to excavate, and sure enough, more than 3,000 pieces of antiquities of various sizes were dug up, each of which weighed hundreds of catties, and some of them had dragon patterns of different sizes in relief.
When these antiquities were transported to Jinling for sale, they were identified by experts and learned that they were the tomb of King Chu Huai. At that time, Li Pinxian's 11th Group Army was stationed nearby, and Ma Jidi, the commissioner of Shou County at that time, tried every possible way to curry favor with Li Pinxian in order to consolidate his position.
Knowing that Li likes antiques, he did what he liked, and reported to Li the process of excavating the tomb of King Chu Huai, and said that Li San Gudui still has a lot of antiquities, and he should send someone to dig it as soon as possible.
The next day, he led three transport companies to Gudui and decided to dry the waterwheels in the surrounding ponds before starting excavation. I borrowed more than a dozen waterwheels from local farmers, and it took more than a month to dry them.
After the water dried, the soil in the pond turned into cement, and there was no way to get down, so I had to climb to the top of the ancient mound to start construction. When digging more than a zhang deep, I saw that the soil layer below was like iron sand, which was very hard.
After digging more than a foot deep, I saw that there was some soil like white mud underneath, but it was by no means ordinary white mud, it may have been artificially made. The gelatinous nature of the soil is very heavy, it is very soft when it is dug out, and it is quite hard after being blown by the wind, and it becomes a powder when you twist it with your fingers.
There are more than 100 wooden strips about three zhang long and two feet square around the coffin, when they are just dug out, the wooden strips are soft, press with your fingers, there are very deep finger marks, after the wind blows, it is quite hard, not too sharp hacksaw saws constantly, not too sharp axes can not be cut. The color of the strips is chestnut. They are stacked about two meters high and arranged in cross squares of different sizes.
The yellow intestine inscription is a level that only princely tombs can have!
The coffin is placed in a large square in the middle of the wooden bar, and there are more than 30 copper duos in many small squares around it, each weighing about two or three catties.
There are also more than 70 bright colors of red, red, green and green gemstones, each of which is about eight inches long, three inches wide, and about one inch and five minutes thick. Several large copper bowls, large copper scoops, and twenty or thirty pieces of unknown strange-shaped antiquities.
There are three copper tripods in front of the coffin, each weighing about two or three hundred catties, the foot of the tripod is cast with a relief dragon head, and the four sides of the tripod are also cast with a relief dragon. There are two large table lamps on both sides, each weighing about 100 catties.
In the middle of the coffin, there is a bronze sword, about three feet long, and there is also a dragon embossed on the hilt, wiping the soil from the sword, the brilliance is still dazzling, which is not comparable to ordinary swords.
A very bright green jadeite like a ball, about a foot in diameter, with a pattern carved on it.
All bronze utensils such as copper tripods, copper duos, and lampstands contain gold components, and they emit a little starlight at night.
The coffin was vermilion, bright as new, about nine feet long, about three feet high and about three feet wide, and was decorated with embossed dragons on and around it.
These antiquities were transported to the headquarters of the Shouxian Group Army, Li Pinxian liked it very much, and sent his henchmen to secretly transport the treasure back to his hometown and hide it secretly, and later died in battle, and his whereabouts are unknown.
The next day, I set off and went straight to Li Pinxian's hometown, which is a small county town.
There was no choice but to let Jinbao try his luck and drive to a barren mountain and wilderness, and he really found something.
"This is the Sword of the King of Chu?"
Wen Yiming just opened the treasure chest, and the cold light flashed, and there was actually a sword inside. The dazzling bronze sword is three feet long, and the cold is overwhelming. The head of the sword is turned outwards into the shape of a hoop, and ten extremely fine concentric circles are cast inside, and the thinnest part of the hoop is like a strand of hair. The back is inlaid with turquoise, which emits a faint cold light.
"Let me try!"
Liu Datong was very excited when he saw the divine weapon, took a few sword flowers, picked up a fallen leaf, and threw it into the sky, the cold light flashed, and it was divided into two!
Pick up an iron rod the thickness of your thumb and slash it hard, easily cutting it in two. Surprised: "Good sword, blow the sharp blade, sharpen iron like clay!"
Wen Yiming opened the gold and silver jewelry in the box, as if he was looking for something else, and suddenly his expression was shocked, and he said in surprise: "Haha, it's really here." ”
After speaking, he took out a turquoise ball, carved with a pattern on it, and said excitedly: "Night Pearl!"
"Really?"
"Is this really the pearl of the night?"
"It can't be Cixi's priceless treasure, right?"
Everyone hurriedly watched, looking at the inconspicuous beads in their hands, and couldn't believe that this was the famous priceless treasure, the Pearl of the Night.
"Normally, the night pearl is fluorescent, some luminescent substances after tens of millions of years, from the initial volcanic magma eruption, to the later geological movement, gathered in the ore, after processing is what people call the night pearl. ”
Wen Yiming stood up amusedly and explained: "There are many things that can shine, Du Yang's miscellaneous compilation recorded that in the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Zongbao calendar, Nanchang Guoxian Ye Ming rhino, that is, the rhino horn will glow." The plant kingdom also can emit light, such as the "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that Ganoderma lucidum, Zhongmu Weixizhi, ginseng Chengzhi, Qiming Jiuguang Zhizhi all fluoresce. ”
"You are talking about the Night Pearl, which was buried in Cixi's mouth, is a rough diamond with an almost spherical shape and weighing about 787 carats, which was worth 10.8 million taels of silver at the time, which is equivalent to 810 million yuan now. ”
"Now nowhere to be found, there are also nine night pearls on her phoenix crown, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the Forbidden City, the losers took four from the phoenix crown and gave them to foreigners, begging them to withdraw from the capital. At that time, Li Lianying was not by her side, so she asked the palace maid surnamed Wang to send her to the Ximen Hotel and handed it over to the person sent by Li Hongzhang. ”
Sixty-four years later, these four night pearls were found in the homes of ordinary workers, both husband and wife were workers in chemical factories. Once engaged in cleaning and hygiene, the child dismantled the dirty and black pillow and prepared to clean, and found that there was a red cloth bag inside, and the red cloth was uncovered and it was a layer of yellow cloth and oil paper, and the oil paper was inside the cotton paper, wrapped with four longan-sized, crystal shining night pearls. So far, the four night pearls have been able to see the light again. ”
Wen Yiming played with the night pearl and said with a smile: "This is a low-profile version." ”
