Chapter 1210: The Ancient Coffin in the Iceberg
Princess Xinle was more than a thousand years ago, and at that time there was no Great Zhou Alliance, and the country name was Shang.
Historical records record that she was beautiful in appearance and had poetry and books in her belly, but she was blushing and thin, and died strangely and violently at the age of eighteen.
Her funeral was also full of mystery and was not held publicly, some said that it was mummified, some said that the body was kept from decaying with a magical coffin, some said that it hung in the mountains, and some said that it sank in the deep sea.
At that time, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty changed the chronology because of her early death, and from the year of Princess Xinle's death, the Great Shang entered the New Yuan Era, which means that 1024 years have passed since this incident.
This is also the reason why this event has endured, and every time a new Shang Dynasty cultural relic appears, someone will associate it with it.
Folklore has it that the tomb of Princess Xinle will definitely exceed the specifications, so the royal family will not report it.
There must be a lot of rare burial goods in the tomb, and the reason for not making it public is to protect her.
Countless tomb robbers have been trying to find the tomb of Princess Xinle, and there are constantly antiques claiming to be from the princess's tomb, but they have not been recognized.
The golden mask that Lin Chao found was also the gold mask that Lian Xinghe, the president of the Shangwen Association, said that it was very likely based on the time of existence and the time when it disappeared in the records.
The gold mask is a sacrificial item preserved by the Shang Kingdom for generations, a total of eight pieces.
Later, there were only seven pieces left, all of which were captured and melted down by the Zhou Dynasty army during the war, so it is reasonable to speculate that the only one left was buried with Princess Xinle.
However, a few years later, Princess Xinle's body was found, which immediately attracted Lin Lan's interest.
Song Meizhu also paid attention to this matter and introduced: "It was found in a glacier near the polar continent that a crystal coffin was found, and later experts said that the coffin and burial goods belonged to the style of the Shang Dynasty, and people from the outside world said that it was Princess Xinle." The coffin is currently in the hands of the international coalition forces, and the Great Zhou Alliance and the Shang Kingdom are all condemning, and people on both sides have gone to the headquarters. ”
After the defeat in the last war, the headquarters of the League of Nations moved to Twin Rivers, a commercial and cultural city of the neutral Isa Kingdom on the Star Moon Continent.
Lin Lan said: "It's not found in the territory of the Great Zhou Alliance, what reason do they have for Shang Dynasty cultural relics?"
Song Meizhu thought to herself that your position is wrong, as a person from the Great Zhou, you should consider the Great Zhou Alliance, why do you want to speak to the Shang Kingdom.
The statement in the news is that the Great Zhou Alliance is a continuation of the Shang Dynasty, and the newly established Shang State does not count, so the Great Zhou Alliance asked for crystal coffins and other items, and the Shang State believed that it was the orthodoxy of the Shang Dynasty and did not give up because the country was small.
Lin Lan said, "Help me book a ticket to Shuanghe City." ”
He's just come back and he's going out again?
Song Meizhu asked, "Now?"
"Of course. ”
Lin Chao also has the picture and video of the golden mask at the beginning, and wants to compare it.
When he was sitting on the plane, he suddenly had an idea, the iceberg is generally mutant beasts and amethyst stones, and now there are coffins and remains for more than a thousand years, will there be mutant beasts in the Shang Dynasty.
Lin Chao only brought Diana, and when he arrived in Twin Rivers City, the international coalition army had a special car to greet him, and as the leader of the legion, he should have this treatment.
The person who came to greet him was also an acquaintance, Tang Xiangchen, the former head of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Great Zhou Alliance and now the secretary general of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the International Alliance.
After learning of Lin Chao's intentions, Tang Xiangchen said: "Master Lin, the iceberg ancient coffin has been a topic of concern all over the world, and there are many people who want to know about it, and the headquarters doesn't want to keep it, just because of international disputes. If you are out of research to understand, I will arrange it as soon as possible. ”
Lin Lan said: "I have come into contact with the cultural relics of the Shang Dynasty by chance, and I heard that it may be the real body of Princess Xinle, so I came to take a look, I don't participate in the affairs of the Great Zhou and the Shang Kingdom, I personally think this is a cultural matter, don't be politicized." ”
But others don't necessarily think so. ”
Tang Xiangchen knew that Lin Chao had traded with Shang in the past, and his relationship with Luobu City and Jiumen was not harmonious, and he was not close to the Ji clan of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, so he talked about other things with a euphemistic mention.
Since the Coalition headquarters moved over, Twin Rivers has become extremely crowded.
Although the headquarters is in the suburbs, the influx of people into Shuanghe City has increased by tens of thousands, which is unbearable for the country of Isa, which has been plagued by war before, although it does not explicitly participate in the wars between other countries, but it also has a lot of efforts behind it, and the wealth and people of the country have been consumed for many years.
Ironically, stopping the war on the Star Moon Continent was another war, an attack from mutant beasts.
Lin Lan's road from the airport to the hotel was completely different from that of Wei, the buildings were yellowish, the roads were crowded, and there were many small vendors on the roadside, even near the big hotel, there were vendors selling melons and fruits.
Tang Xiangchen sent it to the hotel and asked if he wanted to arrange some meetings, there were many people in the headquarters who wanted to communicate with him, Lin Chao declined, the purpose of this trip was to see Princess Xinle, and he would leave after reading it.
Seeing that he had no intention, Tang Xiangchen left silently.
In terms of identity, Tang Xiangchen is not low, and then Lin Chao at this time is a master-level master, and 10,000 Tang Xiangchen is not his opponent, so Tang Xiangchen can only accept it helplessly.
The rise of the forest rebellion is welcomed by the international coalition forces, and it is only conducive to the elimination of mutant beasts, no matter what entanglement there is between the Sun Army and the forest rebellion, it will not affect this principle.
After waiting for two days, Lin Ran was approved to enter the heavily defended research institute.
Everyone inside had to change into white protective suits and go through procedures such as instrument scanning before entering the interior.
In charge of the reception was Professor Conn, who wore thick glasses that he could see through his mask.
"Welcome, Master Lin. We welcome an interest in antiques for a master like you, and maybe you can put a different view. To be honest, I don't know what kind of mutant they are, but you're definitely more careful than anyone else. ”
Lin smiled and said: "I have a specialization in the art industry, I have only been exposed to Shang Dynasty antiques before, and I still rely on professors in terms of research, don't expect too much from me." ”
Even as Lin Chao, he couldn't see the crystal coffin up close, and he could only learn about it through the picture outside the door, with Professor Conn explaining next to him.
On the table in the center of the room is a coffin about two meters and a half long, transparent on the top, with amber colors on both sides, and from the picture, it can be seen that the crystal coffin is lying a skeleton, the bones are completely white, and only the face is covered by a golden mask with a two-horned cloud crown.
It is indeed the same as the gold mask that was caught in the sea of Qindao last time, Lin Chao thought secretly, the history books said that the Shang Dynasty had a total of eight gold masks, seven were destroyed, and one was missing.
Now the question is one more side, what's going on?
Professor Conn said: "At that time, I didn't expect that there would be an ancient coffin in the iceberg, and I thought it was an amethyst, and I found her after breaking the ice. ”
As he spoke, he pressed the remote control, and a picture appeared on the screen, which was also a crystal coffin, but what he saw now was that the corpse inside was covered in colorful clothes.
"It's a pity that the sun shines and the clothes are all turned to dust. Because it was a legion and not a scientific expedition that discovered it, they could not be blamed. ”
