Under the leadership of Huangmao Xiaoming, we continued to walk all the way to the depths of the ancient Shu tomb.

Although Lao Wei made a crutch for Xiao Ming, this guy broke his foot, and his walking was still a little unpleasant, and he limped.

Jiang Yongguang didn't push him too much, after all, rats are also people, although he was confused and took the wrong path for a while, he couldn't be bullied like a slave.

While walking, Jiang Yongguang took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his pocket, played with it repeatedly, and I looked at it and recognized that it was the cultural relics found from Xiao Ming's body.

I saw that the jade pendant was full of water, and the carving was also very exquisite, so I couldn't help but come up and take a look.

Lao Wei and Xiao Liang also surrounded them.

I saw that this dragon pattern jade pendant is boxy, it should be carved from Hetian white jade, and the five-clawed golden dragon god depicted on it has both the shape and the momentum is magnificent.

Jiang Yongguang looked at it in amazement, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a dragon pattern square white jade pendant, right?" ”

Lao Wei immediately nodded and said: "Dayong has good eyesight, that's right, this thing should be matched on the belt, judging from the workmanship and ornamentation, this is probably a royal thing." ”

"Royal stuff?" I couldn't help but ask.

Lao Wei said: "That's right, you see that the ornament on this jade pendant is a five-clawed golden dragon, which is not something that anyone is qualified to enjoy." The hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty was strict, and no ornament could be exceeded, that is, it could not be enjoyed beyond one's own level. ”

Jiang Yongguang immediately said: "Lao Wei is right, I remember that the accessories of ordinary officials in the Ming Dynasty can only be carved with dragons, right?" ”

"Yes." Lao Wei nodded and said, "The dragon is a dragon without horns, which can be regarded as a slightly lower-level dragon, and this kind of five-clawed golden dragon is only qualified to be used by the descendants of the Zhu family above the prince level." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "Obediently, doesn't this mean that the owner of this Ming tomb is a prince of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Xiao Liang was also shocked and said, "It turns out that what we found is actually a royal tomb? But I haven't heard of any prince of the Ming Dynasty who built a royal tomb by the Mamu River. ”

Faced with our question, Lao Wei replied: "It is not necessarily the prince, in fact, there is another possibility, that is, this dragon pattern jade pendant was given by the emperor to the owner of the tomb, in this case, even if the owner of the tomb is not the Prince of Daming, he is also eligible to enjoy this level of jade pendant." ”

"I see...... we all said that we had increased our knowledge.

At this time, Jiang Yongguang suddenly poked Xiao Ming's shoulder and asked, "By the way, you have been fighting for a long time, do you know whose tomb this is?" ”

Xiao Ming hurriedly replied with a smile: "I really don't know this, but my family's speculation is that this is likely to be the tomb of Liu Bowen, the founder of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart: "If you look at the gold ingots in the vermilion lacquer box, you can't say such ridiculous words, the burial is the gold ingots in the Yongle period, how can it be Liu Bowen, who died in the Hongwu period, who was buried?" ”

But after thinking about it again, I guess that Yang Guo and the others probably didn't have time to look at these boxes of gold ingots, and they were frightened by the white-clothed fairy girl.

Therefore, Yang Guo mistakenly thought that this ancient tomb was Liu Bowen's tomb, which is also understandable.

Jiang Yongguang didn't rush to refute him, but asked, "Why does your family say that this ancient tomb is Liu Bowen's tomb?" ”

Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the story of Liu Bowen cutting the dragon veins in the world? Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang took over the world, he asked Liu Bowen ......"

"Stop, stop, we've all heard that." Before Xiao Ming could start telling the story, Jiang Yongguang hurriedly interrupted him.

"Oh, have you heard? That's a good idea! Then I'll save my tongue. Xiao Ming salivated and said, "My family said that Liu Bowen must have come here to cut the dragon vein, discovered this feng shui treasure cave, and moved his mind for a while, wanting to occupy the magpie's nest and win the thousand-year-old creation of the ancient Shu king, so he built his own yin house on the top of the ancient Shu tomb and let himself live in after death." ”

Jiang Yongguang couldn't help but question: "But don't forget, Liu Bowen's tomb is obviously in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are still ruins." ”

Xiao Ming smiled disdainfully: "Who knows if the tomb of Liu Bowen in Jiangnan is real or fake, Liu Bowen is so smart, he can use a fake corpse to hide from the world." ”

What he said was indeed reasonable, and if it weren't for the gold ingots in the vermilion lacquer box completely denying this possibility, I am afraid that I would have been persuaded by him.

It's just that the ironclad evidence of the gold ingot inscription can rule out the possibility that the owner of the tomb is Liu Bowen, which is obviously untenable.

Thinking about it again, if Liu Bowen could use a fake corpse to hide from the world, would Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister under the Yongle Emperor, also play such a trick?

The owner of this Ming tomb can never be Liu Bowen, so could it be Yao Guangxiao?

With such doubts, we followed Huangmao Xiaoming and continued to walk to the depths of the ancient tomb.

Although the upper two layers of the Ming tomb have been built very magnificently, it is a bit small compared with the ancient Shu tomb below.

The scale of this ancient Shu tomb is not inferior to the two tombs of Tuojiang River and Yazi River, and even the corridors here are more intricate, and walking in them is like walking in a labyrinth.

Huang Mao Xiaoming is quite reliable, not only took us to find Yang Guo's tomb robbery gang along the way, but also explained to us the cultural relics they found.

Along the way to the tomb, he introduced one by one: "There are two bronze sacred trees in this tomb, but my family said that this thing is not easy to get out, and it is very hot, even if it is out, it is not easy to make a move, and it will be targeted by the public, so it is not recommended that we move ......."

When he walked to the next tomb, Xiao Ming said: "There is a bronze round-mouthed square statue here, and the shoulder of the square statue has bird patterns and carvings of birds and beasts, which are very well preserved." As soon as the pot saw this mouthful, his eyes lit up, and he said that he had to find a way to transport this thing out, as long as this treasure came out, the brothers would have to eat and drink without worry for ten years. ”

Jiang Yongguang sneered: "Hehe, Yuankou Fang Zun dares to make a move? I think you do have ten years of worry-free eating and drinking, let alone ten years, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking for a lifetime, just send it in and squat for a lifetime. ”

When Xiao Ming heard this, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Officer, let's just talk, we haven't moved this round mouth square venerable, don't believe it, it's placed in the tomb, this can't convict us!" ”

Jiang Yongguang snorted coldly.

Xiao Ming hurriedly changed the topic, and pointed to a tomb in front of him and said: "The tomb in front of it is even more energetic, in addition to a few bronze statues and bronze statues, there are also two boxes of ivory!" I took a look and it was fairly well preserved! ”

"Ivory?" I couldn't help but ask, "More than 4,000 years ago, it was popular to collect ivory?" ”

"Of course." Xiao Liang said to me, "At that time, ivory was already a very precious treasure, don't underestimate the communication between the ancient Shu people and the world, from the sacrificial pit of Sanxingdui, there were also shells produced in the Indian Ocean, that is to say, more than 4,000 years ago, our ancestors had already traded with foreign friends from the coast of the Indian Ocean!" ”
