Chapter 394: Prince or Prince Seal

Yang Haoyu was incredulous, scoffed, and said, "Do you know? ”

Sun Yi smiled and said, "Of course I know, this is Xixia Wen." ”

Old Liu was stunned, stared at the inscription of the jade seal, and said in surprise: "This is the Xixia jade seal?" ”

In addition to Sun Yi, Chongning and others are no longer surprised by this strange text.

I saw that in the printed font, it was square. Every word is so familiar, but I don't know a single word.

Obviously, this is exactly the same as the text of Helan Mountain Stone, which is the Western Xia script.

Ji Shaotao looked at the jade seal, looked at Chongning, and asked, "Brother Chongning, you are the treasure connoisseur in the team, tell me about this jade seal." ”

In the sand pit, Chongning only took a cursory glance.

At this moment, he put it in his hand and took a closer look.

The jade material of the jade seal is very elegant, and it is a decent Hetian jade seed material.

The jade is delicate, warm and soft, and belongs to the best grade.

Such jade materials were at the tribute level in ancient times, and they were used exclusively by the royal family.

However, the carving of the jade seal is somewhat peculiar.

It's not that the carving is bad, it's just that the style is very different, and the carving in the Central Plains is completely two roads.

So much so that the shape of the dragon above is extremely rugged and has an obvious exotic style.

Duan Jingzhi asked, "Brother Ning, is this jade seal genuine?" ”

In terms of age, there are many kinds of jade, including ancient jade, ancient jade, old jade and new jade.

Ancient jade is the jade of the cultural period, such as jade of various cultures, Hongshan culture, Dawenkou culture and so on.

This kind of jade, the quality of jade is generally poor, and there is no work, and it is extremely simple.

A black stone, drilled with a hole, may be a jade axe from the cultural period.

The ancient jade of this period, the most famous is the Red Mountain Jade Dragon.

The Hongshan Jade Dragon is known as the first dragon in China, with vivid shapes and exquisite carvings.

However, even if it is a jade dragon of this national treasure level, the jade material is only dark green Xiuyan jade.

The jade of ancient times was very broad, and as long as it was a good-looking stone, it could be called jade.

The scope of ancient jade is very wide, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

During this time, jade culture developed by leaps and bounds, gradually becoming a system, and gradually reaching its peak.

Exquisite jade, jade materials, and jade workmanship are all pinnacle works.

The culmination of this ancient jade carving is naturally the jade seal of the royal family of the feudal dynasty.

The seal of the emperor is called the seal.

The most famous jade seal is the heirloom jade seal of the first emperor.

The jade seal of the country is engraved by the first emperor to the prime minister Li Si, which is the evidence of the orthodox emperors of the past dynasties.

Its square circle is four inches, on the new hand over five dragons, the front is engraved with the order of the sky, both longevity and Yongchang, eight bird seal characters, as a token of the imperial power.

After the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties took this seal as the mandate of heaven, and they were enshrined as rare and precious as the important weapon of the country.

However, in the subsequent dynasties, nearly a thousand years of history, the fate of the jade seal of the country has had ups and downs.

Especially at the time of the change of the national ancestor, the jade seal of the country has become the target of public criticism, and it is the center of the storm where everyone is crazy about grabbing.

When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the jade seal of the country was thrown off a corner by the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan.

Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to fill the missing corners with gold.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was forced to cede Cao Pi and establish the Great Wei Dynasty.

Cao Pi asked people to engrave words on the shoulder of the jade seal, and the Great Wei received the national seal of the Han Dynasty to prove that it was not a usurpation of the Han Dynasty and wanted to cover it.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the stone of the Later Zhao Dynasty destroyed the former Zhao, obtained the jade seal, and engraved the four characters of the Mandate of Heaven on the right side.

After that, the jade seal of the country was passed down in the change of dynasties, back and forth, and appeared and disappeared.

It was until the Later Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

After the late Tang Dynasty emperor Li Congke was captured by Shi Jingjiao and Luoyang, he jumped into the fire with the jade seal of the country and committed suicide.

Since then, the jade seal of the country has mysteriously disappeared and disappeared.

In the years that followed, there were rumors of the existence of the jade seal, but most of them were forged.

Where is the real heirloom jade seal, it has become a historical mystery.

Under the influence of the jade seal, the emperors of all dynasties and generations would make and carve their own jade seals to show the emperor's authority.

The princes, county kings, and princes in the royal family also have their own jade seals.

The ministers of the imperial court, with different titles, also have jade medals with different regulations.

Chongning can judge from the luster of this jade seal that it is indeed an ancient jade.

The luster of ancient jade is warm and moist, and there is a unique sense of history that has been precipitated over the years.

And from the texture of the jade, you can also distinguish the age of the jade.

The old jade that has been plated and the newly made jade can be distinguished at a glance by insiders.

Chongning looked at the inscription, and there were still some remnants of jade seal clay in it.

Because of the long time, there is vermilion, which invades the jade and forms a special cinnabar.

Obviously, this jade seal is an ancient practical seal.

However, the current imitation technology is quite sophisticated.

Especially when they came on this trip, they were looking for traces of the Jiang family, a fake family.

Chongning didn't dare to be careless, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he turned sideways slightly, and used his golden hand to conduct an appraisal.

A brilliant purple gold brilliance flashed away.

At the same time, a surging spiritual power was frantically infused.

Originally, after Chongning finished treating the old sand puppet, the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted.

At this moment, the abundant spiritual power is instantly filled!

Chongning was extremely surprised, purple-gold brilliance!

This is a treasure of the museum's or more collection!

Sun Yi leaned over, "What?" Is it true? ”

Chongning slowly calmed down, coughed lightly, and said, "It's genuine." ”

Ji Shaotao asked, "What age?" ”

Chongning groaned and said, "It should be from the Song Liao period." ”

Ji Shaotao thought for a while, "Song Liao and Western Xia are at the same time, is this the seal of the Western Xia Emperor?" ”

The Western Xia Dynasty enjoyed the country for nearly 200 years and went through ten emperors.

The tombs of the Western Xia Emperors are scattered deep in the desert, and no one knows the exact location.

It is not impossible to really dig out the emperor's seal.

Chongning shook his head and said, "Although there are few records of Western Xia, their regulations are influenced by the Central Plains. ”

"According to the regulations of this jade seal, it should not reach the emperor level. My personal guess is that it's the Prince's Seal or the Prince's Seal. ”

Ji Shaotao muttered, "Prince? Prince? ”

The history of Western Xia is very short and there are few records. Related academics are also relatively rare.

Especially the Western Xia texts, the current degree of cracking is pitiful.

Therefore, the text of this seal is unrecognizable.

Sun Yi asked, "Then what does this jade seal have to do with those two sand golems?" ”

Chongning shook his head, "I don't know. But it seems that the old sand golem was seriously injured like that because of this jade seal. ”

"I guess I found the jade seal somewhere, and then I ran into a scramble."

Sun Yi frowned slightly, "Who will compete with the sand golems?" Could it be that there are tomb robbers? ”

Chongning shook his head, "I'm not sure either, but the old sand golem's wound looks like a blunt object." ”

Old Liu Tou looked at the northwest and said, "It's not early, we have to hurry." ”

"Before evening, we have to leave Guziling, it's too dangerous to spend the night here."

Underneath Guziling, there are abandoned cities, and if you are not careful, you will fall.

Besides, there's the weird sand golem, and I don't know what to expect.

So, it's better for everyone to get out of here.

Lao Liu Tou was in the front, driving the camel and starting to rush to the front.

Sun Yi's injuries were completely fine, and with Chongning's support, the two rode a camel together and followed closely.

The physical strength of the camel king is greater than that of ordinary camels, and it is very easy to carry two people at the same time.

A group of people, deep in the desert, slowly moved away.

The further in, the stronger the yellow sand, and the stronger the wind became.

Chongning had no choice but to wrap his head with a scarf, barely resisting the wind and sand.

Heading southwest from Guziling, the next destination is more than an hour away.

Ji Shaotao looked ahead and said, "Mr. Liu, is our route right?" ”

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Shaotao took out the map and looked at the sky again, "How do I feel, it's a little biased?" ”

He walks in the middle of nowhere all year round and has a special instinct for navigation.

Yang Haoyu took out the golden compass, put it in the palm of his hand, and raised his eyebrows, "Let's go northwest!" ”

Old Liu Tou coughed lightly and said, "Oh, that's right. There's a quicksand area ahead, and we'll have to go around it, or it's dangerous. ”

Sun Yi was stunned, "Quicksand!" ”

Quicksand is in the desert, and it is an extremely terrifying existence.

As long as people and animals step into the quicksand, they can't escape at all, they can only be swallowed up by the quicksand and disappear completely.

Quicksand is the death trap of the desert!

Sun Yi hurriedly said: "Then we have to go around, it's too dangerous, the farther the better." ”

Ji Shaotao nodded and said, "In this way, how long will it take for us to get to the second Standing Spirit Dune?" ”

Old Liu Tou looked at the sky, "In the evening, it's almost." We've got to hurry. ”

As he spoke, he rode his camel and gradually quickened his pace.

At this time, the atmosphere in the caravan became a little weird.

After a while, Lu Pingliu, who had been behind the camel caravan, unknowingly, approached Chongning's camel.

Chongning turned his head and was almost startled.

Two camels, one in front of the other, almost caught up.

Lu Pingliu's old and clear face was staring at Chongning.

Chongning was stared at a little silently, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Pingliu said in a deep voice: "Your jade seal, you must look at it." ”

With that, his camel slowed down and soon returned to the tail of the caravan.

Chongning was full of doubts and didn't know very well.

What does this mean?

The team is all their own people, is there anyone who wants to make the idea of a jade seal?

Or are there small sand golems around, followed by tomb robbers?

Chongning only felt a chill in his back, and kept looking at the empty surroundings.

The surrounding sand grains are windy and sandy, and it is very quiet.

Nothing but the endless yellow sand.

After an hour, a large sand dune appeared not far away.

The sand dunes are undulating like mountains.

It's going to be dark, and it's not really real.

Old Liu Tou pointed over there and said, "The Qiling Dune has arrived." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
