the last priest

Zha Wenbin took the bronze lump in his hand, and was about to stuff it back into his bag. Just as he opened the opening of the bag and sent the bronze wheel inside, suddenly an extremely bright spot flashed fiercely. The brightness was really comparable to diamond. ╚ ^ ╝

But the light did pass in a flash, and then it returned to its original plain appearance, and a word even came to Cha Wenbin's mind: shooting star.

"Huh?" After muttering, he looked to the left and looked again, nothing special, but he did see it now, and Lao Wang also said it was bright.

"Old Wang, it's really bright, I can see it." Cha Wenbin said.

When Lao Wang heard this, his eyelids popped open immediately, and he moved to Cha Wenbin's side and shouted, "Where is the light? Where is it?"

It seems that this thing glows rhythmically, not all the time. Cha Wenbin rubbed his head and said, "It's gone now, flashing like a shooting star. The white light is really strange. Before Why didn't you find it?"

Next, the two simply put the thing on their laps and stared at it intently. Judging from the interval between the last two lights, it was only a cigarette. They were looking forward to the next one.

Many things are like this, you will never get it when you want it, but it will appear inadvertently.An entire hour passed, and the two of them even blinked in rotation, for fear of missing it.

The fact is very cruel, and Cha Wenbin felt his eyes were so sore: "Okay, let's stop looking at it, it's just a piece of copper, it will still be bright when it should be bright, Let's talk about it later."

Lao Wang was still a little unwilling, he always felt that this thing was not easy, "Wait a little longer, it's not there yet anyway."

Zha Wenbin thinks this is not the case. First of all, this thing is made of bronze and does not have the material needed to emit light. The things that can emit light in nature are fluorite or night pearls, but the unintentional exceptions are all continuous. Luminescence, only phosphorus fire can emit such a dazzling light in a very short period of time, does it contain phosphorus?

A piece of ancient bronze, even if it contains phosphorus, should have been consumed after so many years of contact with the air. What can still emit light?

The two of them began to think about this problem, and all kinds of possibilities were ruled out one by one. What else can do this?

Old Wang pondered: "Natural luminous bodies such as fluorite need a light source to illuminate for a long time to absorb the energy of light to make themselves luminous, but this is obviously not the case, Wen Bin, I think we have to change the angle to look at it. Think about it, you can’t always look at the material.”

So aside from natural light, what are the other ways to shine? Cha Wenbin pondered for a while, and suddenly he shouted as if awakened from a dream: "Mirror! Have you ever thought about it, Mr. Wang? If it Is it not the light itself, but the reflection?"

"Reflection? Yes, it's not impossible, so try it quickly."

Cha Wenbin put the bronze wheel under the sun like a mirror, but there was no reaction at all. Seeing that this speculation was about to be overturned.

"Let me think about it again," Cha Wenbin said, "we call it the sun wheel because of its shape, especially the five rays of light are lifelike, since it is the sun, it will shine, then the light is It comes from the small dot in the middle. What about the outer circle?" He looked at the sun wheel in his hand, and suddenly thought of the circle again.

If the circle is infinite, it is also chaos, which is the initial state of the universe.Then this sun wheel, the middle position is the sun, and then five bronze rods surround the sun and connect with the outermost circle. Can it be understood that the sun is at the center of the universe?

For the cosmology of the ancients, such an understanding is already very rare.

Cha Wenbin took the thing and looked at it repeatedly under the sun, Lao Wang said, "Could it be a problem with the angle?"

"angle?"

"What if it only reflects at a certain angle?"

Cha Wenbin held it carefully, and slowly moved it up and down under the sunlight, so that every angle of the sun wheel had a chance to be directly hit by the sun.Just turning and turning like this, when the bronze sun wheel in Zha Wenbin's hand reached a tilted position, a burst of extremely bright white light suddenly flashed.Lao Wang and him both opened their mouths, it was incredible.

This burst of light also disappeared in a flash. After knowing the approximate angle, Zha Wenbin slowly made small adjustments, retreated a little bit, and a stream of light suddenly appeared on it, like a scene in the darkness. The lighthouse illuminated on the reef is so white and so bright.

"It really depends on reflection!" Cha Wenbin said.In the next few tests, they found that only one angle can reflect this light, and it is extremely difficult to determine, often just after the angle is aligned, it disappears again.This is an extremely delicate thing, and even the beating of a person's breathing and pulse is enough to make it deviate.

While marveling at the magic of the ancient man-made objects, Lao Wang recalled what the man said: This is a living thing. "If it is really a ritual vessel or a symbolic general utensil, it is by no means not so complicated. Let alone people who lived 3000 years ago, even modern techniques may not be able to process this kind of craftsmanship."

Because people can move, ships can also move, and even the earth is moving, so Cha Wenbin couldn't capture the continuous reflection, and it disappeared after a few blinks, and he planned to give up after several consecutive times And then put it back in the bag again.

Seeing this, Old Wang smiled and said, "Wen Bin, you should keep such a precious lump close to your body, it's not safe to put it in your rag bag."

Cha Wenbin looked down at the gossip bag with patches on it. This is something left by the old master, so think about it.He simply took it out and put it in his chest. This kind of mandarin jacket has a purse-like design inside, which is specially used to put personal items.

"Brother Wenbin, we're almost there," Chaozi shouted, "It's that bamboo forest."

He hurriedly got up from the lying position, yo, he will be there soon, a green bamboo forest is in front of him, the wind blows, making a "rustling" sound.

At a place about tens of meters away, Cha Wenbin made them stop.

"When you land on the shore in a while, don't get lost at the 1000 millionth time, second, don't think about things, and third, start eating now to replenish your energy."

Chaozi gnawed on the sauced beef and praised: "Uncle Wang's arrangement is really thoughtful. Thinking back when you took me to the field for archaeology, why did you give us dry steamed buns?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the joyful atmosphere swept away the previous gloom. Yes, they needed such happiness too much, even if it was just a few minutes.

When the kayak docked, everyone was dumbfounded. Is this moso bamboo still moso bamboo?

"Fang's moso bamboo? This is really the first time I've seen it." Cha Wenbin looked at the green bamboo forest in front of him in surprise. The moso bamboo here is not the usual cylindrical shape, but square, and it is thicker than ordinary moso bamboo. It's much thicker, each one looks like a wooden stake poked there.

A group of people packed up their equipment and prepared to start walking inside.

The bamboo here is not only big, but also tall, with layers of black and green bamboo leaves layered on top of each other.Although the sun is shining outside, once they entered the bamboo forest, they could still see it, the sunlight was completely blocked by the bamboo leaves on the upper layer, and occasionally there were one or two spots of light that leaked in and fell on the ground. Mottled.Under the blowing of the wind, these mottled sunlight are constantly changing positions, adding a bit of weird atmosphere to the upright bamboo forest.

One by one simply took out the spotlights, and there was no direction in it. They still had to rely on Zha Wenbin's compass to choose the approximate location to go.

Cha Wenbin reminded: "Be careful, I don't know if there will be any beasts and poisonous insects here. When you walk, you should also pay attention to your feet. Bamboo leaves can easily cover the potholes below."

Stepping on the soft bamboo leaves, there was a crisp "crack, bang, bang" sound. Cha Wenbin kept looking at the pointer of the compass, while beckoning them where to go.

"Wait!" shouted Chaozi behind him, "Look, there's a dead man hanging there!"

Everyone looked up and saw a white mass hanging in the air from a moso bamboo not far away. . . . . .
