161 Wood King Iron Birch
Lin Yi and Qian Sheng needless to say.
Even Wang Qiang also understands the value of this "Yuwang Jiuding".
At the beginning, seeing the nine fakes equivalent to the forgeries of the Western Han Dynasty in the "Tomb of He Zheng" was enough to shock the entire Chinese archaeological community.
When they got out of the tomb of the Exquisite Queen, they saw the traces of "Liangzhou Ding" on the "ladder".
At that time, when these pictures appeared in their live broadcast room, Chinese people around the world were shocked.
There have been countless debates on the Internet.
The goal of the debate is, who is the first national treasure in China between Jiuding and the heirloom jade seal?
Everyone argued, and this topic post also rushed to the hot search for a while.
Countless experts and scholars have taken advantage of this topic to express their views and opinions.
At that time, there was a highlighted reply from the forum: If the first emperor could find Jiuding, he would not make a jade seal to pass on the country.
It's a complete end to this topic.
Judging from the results, the opinions of the people and the government are basically the same, and Jiuding > the jade seal of the country.
The jade seal of the country is just a substitute used by the first emperor to inherit the unification and authenticate the identity.
Compared with the whereabouts of "Qingzhou Ding", the origin of the "Taizong Zhengguan Mirror" in their hands now, as well as the meaning of its existence, are not so important.
Qian Sheng wrapped the bronze mirror with muntjac skin and handed it to Lin Yi, who put the bronze mirror into his backpack.
At this moment, the three of them focused their eyes on the coffin in front of them at the same time.
The rammed earth mound of the circular hollow structure was finally revealed under three bright flashlights and two headlamps.
The coffin is not located in the center, but is more towards the stone gate to the south.
Twelve corpses of martyrs stood around.
"Master Lin, I was scared just now, don't you think it's strange that there are people martyred around this Jiang Taigong's coffin?
It stands to reason that the Western Zhou Dynasty has completely abolished human martyrdom, and it is basically not allowed to bury live animals except livestock.
What's more, according to the content of this inscription, this sacrificial ceremony was presided over by the Duke of Zhou, but he was the formulator of the "Zhou Rites", how could he allow people to be martyred and buried? ”
Lin Yi walked to the coffin, and after observing it carefully, he explained to Qian Sheng:
"Lu Shang has a special identity.
Although he is the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he is also an old minister of Yin Shang, not to mention that he still has the blood of the Qiang people.
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, sacrifice was a top priority, not only to follow the Zhou rituals, but also to respect the traditional customs of the aborigines. ”
With that, Lin Yi approached the dried corpses.
Putting on rubber gloves, he asserted after examining the teeth and bones of the dried corpses.
"These martyrs are not 'alive', they have been made into dried corpses before they enter here, and lo and behold, there are still crumbs of lime and charcoal.
Judging by their teeth and bones, their average age was over thirty-five years old, which was considered a high life expectancy at that time.
They may be members of the same clan as the Jiang family, and they were buried here together with Lu Shang's clothes after their deaths.
It should be regarded as a compromise method, which not only takes care of Zhou Li, but also takes into account the customs of the Jiang family. ”
Wang Qiang urged on the side:
"We're not here to study the dried corpse, let's see if this 'Qingzhou Ding' is buried in this coffin."
Lin Yi wore gloves and stroked around the gap in the coffin, shaking his head in disappointment.
"This coffin has already been opened!"
"Drove it?"
Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng were surprised in unison.
"The opening of the museum was professional and skillful, and not only did it not destroy the entire structure of the coffin, but even the outer lacquered shell of the coffin was almost not damaged.
It's definitely not something two or three people can do. ”
Hearing this, Wang Qiang immediately cursed in his mouth.
"Damn, it can't be Zhang Qiuli's gang who did it, right?"
Qian Sheng immediately shook his head.
"That can't be, they have to be able to do such a job, and they will be defeated? Waiting to die at home one by one? ”
Lin Yi reached out and gently stroked the top cover of the outer coffin.
"I think that the money shopkeeper's analysis makes sense, Zhang Qiuli and others don't have this ability at all.
The biggest possibility is that this bucket should have been overthrown by a master in the Tang Dynasty, and the identity of this master is not ordinary.
Look at this, there are traces of the blue striped stone dragging the coffin.
It shows that this coffin was not originally placed here. ”
Qian Sheng slapped his thigh.
"yes, why didn't I think of that? First, there were 24 bronze statues, and then there was this 'Taizong Zhengguan Mirror', which must have been the first to be climbed by the masters of the Tang Dynasty.
We're late! ”
"It's not too late, look here!"
Lin Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the rear of the coffin.
That location should be regarded as the center of the entire circular rammed earth layer, that is, the core of the entire tomb group.
But it's so dark that if the lights weren't focused here, you wouldn't be able to see the situation at all.
"Isn't this just a wall? What can be seen? ”
Wang Qiang walked up to the front and asked uncertainly.
Lin Yi was noncommittal, and turned to Qian Sheng and said:
"Money shopkeeper, you look at it!"
Qian Sheng approached, first sniffed with his nose, and then touched it.
"Master Lin, this. Is this the 'Wood King'? ”
"That's right! It's the 'Wood King'! ”
Lin Yi replied with a smile.
Qian Sheng came to the front and looked at it again and again, and began to shake his head involuntarily.
"Incredible, it's incredible, the raw material of this 'Wood King' can grow so thick, I'm afraid it will take thousands of years?"
"What are you talking about? What is the Wood King? Why did it get to the wood again? Is this a piece of wood? ”
Wang Qiang reached out and stroked it a few times with a blank face, and knocked it twice with a shovel.
"You two can fool me, where is this wood, it's a wall at all, and my sapper shovel can't knock out the mark."
"Master Wang, do you know that the original material of this wood is called 'Iron Birch', which is known as the hardest wood in the world, with a very high density and hardness comparable to steel, also known as 'Wood King'.
This tree has the most developed root system, which can stretch for miles underground, fully absorb nutrients and various mineral elements from the ground, and absorb them into the trunk, making its wood as hard as iron.
Moreover, this 'wood king' has a very long growth cycle, and other trees only give birth to one ring a year, and it only gives birth to one in ten years.
Not to mention that you are a sapper shovel, even if it is a bullet, you can't even try to penetrate it. ”
"Is there such a god?"
Wang Qiang didn't believe in this evil.
"Spit! Saliva! You two get out of the way! ”
"Oh, don't."
Qian Sheng was about to stop him, but was pulled aside by Lin Yi with a wicked smile.
Wang Qiang spat twice at the palm of his hand, clenched the sapper shovel, riveted enough strength, and slashed towards the iron birch.
I only heard a "bang".
The sapper shovel in Wang Qiang's hand flew out of his hand.
"Oh!"
Wang Qiang screamed, covered his left and right hands with both hands, and squatted on the ground.
"How about Master Wang, are you okay? Shall I pull you up? ”
Wang Qiang waved his hand.
"Don't, I have a headache from the shock, let me slow down!"
