Chapter 9: The Heavenly Sword

After spending four days in the laboratory of the Department of Archaeology, Ling Yu finally completed the translation of all the Wuwen rubbings.

After printing a complete copy of the translation, Ling Yu handed it to Professor Wang.

"Haha, Xiaoyu, with your help, it really saved me a lot of time. ”

Looking at the thick pile of paper in his hand, Professor Wang was excited, he had read Ling Yu's translation for a while, and he was greatly inspired, if it weren't for the fact that most of them had not been checked and confirmed, he would have liked to read it as a witch dictionary.

However, he had long believed in his heart that Ling Yu's translation was at least ninety percent correct, if not all right.

"Hey, what are these?"

Professor Wang flipped to the bottom two sheets of printed paper.

"Professor, this is what I wrote down on the spur of nowhere, and it can be regarded as an illusory historical idea about the Witch Temple!"

Ling Yu had long known that he would ask such a question, and said with a smile.

"The illusory idea of the Witch God Temple?" Professor Wang was stunned for a moment, not reacting.

"Professor, it's actually similar to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Something I know is connected through a story. ”

Ling Yu explained casually.

Professor Wang pondered the meaning of this sentence and couldn't help but be surprised, where did Ling Yu get so much information?

After all, to write the history of the Witch Temple in the form of a novel, you need to have a lot of knowledge of witch culture!

It is understandable that Ling Yu can translate so many witch texts, he must be from a wizard family, but the history of the witch temple happened thousands of years ago, but there is no historian to record it!

Now, Professor Wang is becoming more and more unable to see through Ling Yu.

But fortunately, the more Ling Yu knew, the more worthy of discovery became, which could be of great help to his research.

So he still encouraged Ling Yu a few words, asked him to write well, and gave him a reference after writing.

Ling Yu also knew that Professor Wang had doubts, since he didn't ask, naturally he didn't need to say it, the two had a tacit understanding, and there was no need to pick things too clearly.

At this time, Yao Jingya walked in with a tempered glassware.

"Professor, I have studied the purpose of this small stone knife for a few days, but I can't find any source, is it put in storage cabinet A?"

She put the utensils on her desk, smiled at Ling Yu, and then asked Professor Wang.

Ling Yu set his eyes on a small stone knife with a missing tip in the vessel, the surface of the small stone knife was engraved with strange textures, but it had been too long and it seemed a little blurry.

Seeing this small stone knife, Ling Yu's mind actually flashed a series of memory fragments.

"Can't find it? Xiaoyu's translated rubbings have also been consulted?"

Professor Wang said with Yan Yuese.

This kind of thing is very common, and many excavated things cannot find the corresponding source and use, so they can only be shelved and dealt with after the research has progressed.

The day before yesterday, based on the Wu text materials translated by Ling Yu, he figured out a stone utensils from the Wu Tribe era that had been hidden in Storage Cabinet A a long time ago.

Based on this alone, he believed that the information translated by Ling Yu was definitely not made up randomly.

"I checked it, and there was no mention of this little stone knife at all. ”

Yao Jingya shook her head, she and the other three graduate students had been sorting out the things excavated from the ruins of the Witch God Temple for a while, and they were very busy.

"Well, Xiao Yu has finished translating all the witch texts, you take these materials and check them again!"

Professor Wang nodded, and casually handed Yao Jingya a thick pile of translation materials on the table.

"Ah, it's all translated?"

Yao Jingya exclaimed, hurriedly took the translation materials, and glanced at Ling Yu next to him, only to find that he was staring at the small stone knife in the vessel.

"Sister Xiaoya, you don't need to check it, it's not in the translated materials, but I know the origin of this little stone knife!"

Ling Yu closed his gaze, then looked at Yao Jingya and chuckled.

Professor Wang and Yao Jingya's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Hehe, the function of this little stone knife, I guess you should have all heard of it, how were the ancient eunuchs formed?"

Ling Yu said with a smile.

"Castration?"

Yao Jingya lost her voice, but suddenly came to her senses, and her cheeks were crimson.

This girl is shy, which is really unique.

Ling Yu admired it for a while, then coughed lightly and said, "Sister Xiao Ya is right, it is a castration knife, of course, this little stone knife is not this name in the Wu tribe era, it is called Xingtian Knife, which is specially used to punish those male surnamed Wu people who seduce the female relatives of the tribal rulers." Therefore, the earliest eunuch in Chinese history should not be the Shang Dynasty, but the more ancient Stone Age. ”

"There are two Blood Coffin Tombs in the Witch Temple, the left side is sacrificed with a male surname, and the right side is sacrificed with a female surname, and there are castrated people who usually have blood sacrifices in the Blood Coffin Man Tomb on the right. Therefore, on the tomb of the blood coffin man on the right, this kind of punishment knife pattern will be specially engraved, and the witch temple we excavated last time is just the tomb of the blood coffin man surnamed men."

Ling Yu took out a piece of white paper, took a pen and traced the lines on the small stone knife, and then he made up the lines on the missing tip of the knife.

Professor Wang's eyes were attracted by the gradually perfecting lines, and he always felt that he had never seen such lines anywhere.

Suddenly, he patted his head and said, "By the way, I once saw this pattern once when I excavated a witch tribe site five years ago, but I haven't studied the meaning of this pattern." It's exactly the same, it's exactly the same, and even the completed part is exactly the same as that texture."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he even danced with his hands, leaving Ling Yu and Yao Jingya stunned.

After a while, Professor Wang calmed down and laughed: "Xiaoyu, you have given me more and more surprises. I really don't know what level of knowledge you have reached about witch culture?"

Yao Jingya, who was next to her, looked at Ling Yu with surprise in her eyes, and even had a hint of admiration that could not be concealed.

With the example of the small stone knife, how could Professor Wang let go of the opportunity and hurriedly brought Ling Yu into the storage room.

The storage room is not large, and there are special cabinets, which is a very formal way to preserve cultural relics.

The storage cabinet is divided into four levels of ABCD, the unknown ones are placed in the A storage cabinet, the incomplete clues are placed in the B storage cabinet, the C storage cabinet is placed in the identified ones, and the D storage cabinet is placed in the original rubbings such as witch patterns.

There will be a special document book for everything, and the more detailed the better.

Stone tools with a long history were placed in front of Ling Yu's eyes, allowing him to look at them one by one.

As long as the physical object has appeared in his memory information, then the consciousness light cluster will automatically retrieve the relevant information.

One by one, Ling Yu explained the source, purpose, etc. in detail, and Yao Jingya was holding a notebook on the side and quickly recording it.

In this storage cabinet, Ling Yu could still only name a small part, after all, a large part of the things were not excavated in Wuxi and Kaixian, as long as it was not within this range, even if there were similar things related, the memory information could not be automatically retrieved, unless Ling Yu slowly found it himself.

Even so, Professor Wang and Yao Jingya were very excited.

Because they were so engaged in their work, the three of them didn't even go out to eat lunch in the end, and by the time Ling Yu had read everything, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon
