Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 285: The various applications of farmers’ “freshness preservation” methods

The Da Si Nong Dou Hu is a measuring instrument. Who would have thought that it could be used to store things.

Many storage devices have been unearthed during archaeological excavations, but I have never seen one that can hold things like this and is so well preserved.

What’s even more incredible is that the things inside are well preserved, just like new.

It's incredible.

"You'll know after trying it. Lao Guo, do you want to give it a try?"

Xu Yue listened to Wu Xi's words, but did not give a direct answer.

He actually didn't know.

Guo Tianyou didn't hesitate, he stepped forward, grabbed a short handle, and used his spiritual power.

And then it remained motionless.

The Da Si Nong Douhu was made of bronze, in the shape of a barrel, about twenty centimeters high, with a slightly larger diameter, probably more than thirty but less than forty centimeters. There were symmetrical short handles on the left and right sides of the belly, and array patterns were engraved on the outer wall.

If it were an ordinary bronze utensil, it would probably weigh more than 20 kilograms.

Even a spiritual practitioner like Guo Tianyou has more strength than an average person and can easily lift it with one hand.

"Do you want to find a third-level spiritual cultivator to try?" Xu Yue looked at Jing Guohua and said, "If a third-level spiritual cultivator can't open it, then I guess only the farmer cultivators, or only I, can open it."

"Let's study it. If the third level doesn't work, then let's go to the fourth level." Jing Guohua said, "If this thing can be replicated, the effect will be unimaginable."

Xu Yue smiled but said nothing.

Research?

It does need to be studied.

However, it will fall into his hands sooner or later.

Once the college is repaired, we will take this thing over for research purposes.

I think the higher-ups will agree.

After all, only Xu Yue can open this thing. If he participates in the research, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

Everyone came back to their senses from their shock.

Xu Yue also began to look at the main tomb chamber.

There were many carvings on the walls of the tomb, but Xu Yue was not very interested in them.

This tomb is much larger than the two tombs Xu Yue had visited before.

"I heard that the Han tomb in your mountain has been found?"

Wang Hai found a chance and asked a lot of questions casually.

He was obsessed with that tomb.

If I hadn't been busy with this tomb, I would have taken people there long ago.

However, once this tomb is finished, he will take people there.

"Hmm!" Xu Yue nodded and said, "Isn't there a Taoist temple built in the mountains? That yellow-skinned guy was quite brave. He actually went to knock on the door of the Taoist temple at night. Taoist Master Yu happened to be there that night, so he followed the yellow-skinned guy and found the tomb."

"Knocking on the door of the Taoist temple?" Wu Xi couldn't help but say, "Then it's really brave enough. It's not afraid that the Taoist priest will take it in."

"Then Taoist Master Yu is quite powerful."

Wang Hai couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Being able to track that yellow-skinned creature in the mountains at night is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do.

The mountain road is difficult to travel, let alone at night.

That yellow-skinned guy won't have a good time.

The most important reason why Wang Hai wanted Xu Yue to find the ancient tomb from the yellow-skinned man was that he knew Xu Yue had that ability.

When he was in the mountains, it was as easy as walking on flat ground.

"Whose tomb do you think that is, Professor Wang?"

Xu Yue asked casually.

"It's hard to be sure based on just two things." Wang Hai shook his head and said, "However, the possibility of it being from the Three Kingdoms period is greater."

"Xu Yue!"

Jing Guohua's voice rang out, Xu Yue greeted Wang Hai and Wu Xi, and then walked over.

"This thing needs to be transported, and I'll have to trouble you to do it!"

When Jing Guohua saw Xu Yue coming over, he didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.

No one else can get that thing at all. It is difficult to move it out of the ancient tomb, let alone transport it away.

"no problem!"

Xu Yue nodded and did not refuse.

"Are you moving away now?"

Xu Yue asked immediately. Seeing Jing Guohua nod, Xu Yue grabbed the short handle of the bucket and walked out directly.

Although this ancient tomb is in the mountains, it is not far from the highway.

Xu Yue quickly placed the bucket on a large truck.

That big cargo is for military use.

The driver was also a soldier. He was a little confused to see that his truck was so big but was only carrying such a small thing.

But when Xu Yue put the things in the car, the car shook a little.

The driver knew that this was the reaction after placing a heavy object.

But how heavy could that thing be?

The key point is that he saw with his own eyes someone take it out with one hand.

Although he was surprised, he obviously didn't ask.

This is definitely something amazing because the security factor is amazing.

"Shouldn't I have to help unload the goods?"

Xu Yue looked at Jing Guohua with a smile.

"That's not necessary!"

Jing Guohua shook his head. If it weren't for the crane or something that couldn't enter the ancient tomb, there would be no need to trouble Xu Yue.

Xu Yue didn't say anything else and turned back to the ancient tomb.

Jing Guohua escorted the Dou Hu away.

"Professor Wang, are there any lost works of the Nong family among these?"

When Xu Yue returned to the ancient tomb, Wang Hai was already looking through the jade slips.

"I haven't found anything yet," Wang Hai said. "So far, I've only read Confucian classics. You said the Huan family is a Confucian and Taoist family, so why did they carve the array pattern of your Nong family on the tomb door?"

"The Farmer's Formation can communicate with the Earth's veins, connecting the entire tomb to them." Xu Yue said, "It's a good thing you didn't break it open by force, otherwise it would have detonated the Earth's energy. Not only would the tomb's survival be in jeopardy, but your own survival would be in question as well."

"There's a Feng Shui formation outside, and the energy inside is connected to the earth veins." Guo Tianyou suddenly said, "It's best not to open the coffin."

"Is there another big dumpling inside?"

When Wu Xi heard this, he seemed a little scared.

Guo Tianyou was stunned for a moment.

Has this girl ever seen a big zongzi?

This is really good luck.

However, think about it, they are archaeology experts who often deal with ancient tombs, so the chance of encountering big zongzi is much higher than that of ordinary people.

"The possibility is not small."

Xu Yue saw Wang Hai looking at him and immediately said.

"How can there be such a thing as a giant zongzi?"

Wu Xi was still frightened and found it difficult to understand.

That's unscientific.

"The ancients sought immortality and also sought resurrection from the dead," Guo Tianyou said. "The big zongzi must be an attempt, a failed attempt."

"Teacher, is it open?"

Wu Xi looked at Wang Hai and asked.

Is it open?
There is no archaeological excavation without opening the coffin.

"Open!" Wang Hai said, "I'll go discuss this with Director Liu and come up with a foolproof plan."

"Although this is just our speculation, it's better to be prepared."

Xu Yue was quite curious about whether there was a big zongzi inside the coffin.

Wang Hai went to find Liu Wenhao.

Jing Guohua escorted Dou Hu away, but Liu Wenhao stayed.

This shows how much importance the higher-ups attach to this ancient tomb.

"Has it really become a big dumpling?"

Liu Wenhao arrived soon.

Archaeological excavations always involve opening coffins, and even he, an outsider, knows this.

If it really doesn’t open, then it’s just a matter of one last breath, right?
"guess!"

Xu Yue said two words.

"How big is it?" Liu Wenhao asked, "I once encountered one that was invulnerable to swords and guns. I was at the second level at the time, and I almost fell into its hands."

"It's really hard to say." Xu Yue said, "Or, Director Liu can prepare some high-pressure fire guns or something. The five elements are mutually generated and restrained, so the big zongzi should be afraid of fire." Liu Wenhao nodded.

If this dumpling is made and someone is injured, it will be very serious.

High-pressure firearms and the like are not difficult for Liu Wenhao.

It was brought here very quickly.

Then, prepare to open the coffin.

Of course, the cultural relics in the tomb were naturally moved away.

It was commanded by Wang Hai and opened by Xu Yue and others.

It's just unnecessary worry.

The person in the coffin did not turn into a big dumpling.

However, the moment it opened, Xu Yue's pupils still shrank.

Inside the coffin, an old man in his sixties in gorgeous clothes squinted his eyes as if he was asleep.

"what!"

Seeing the reactions of Xu Yue and others, Wu Xi couldn't help but walk closer out of curiosity and immediately exclaimed.

"Alive, alive?"

Wu Xi couldn't help but ask.

At first glance, it looks just like a living person.

"Not breathing."

Xu Yue shook his head and said.

"What kind of embalming technology is this?" Wang Hai couldn't help but sigh. "It's just as if it had just died! If I told anyone this was an ancient person, I doubt anyone would believe it."

"Will it be the same as that Dou Hu?"

Guo Tianyou spoke.

Everyone then looked at Xu Yue.

It was hard to say whether the contents poured out of the bucket were gold, silver, or jewelry, but the bamboo slips looked like they had just been made.

If bamboo slips are allowed, why not corpses?

Could there be another dimension inside this coffin?
"Don't look at me, I don't know either." Xu Yue said, "I don't even understand the Dou Hu, let alone this coffin. However, this coffin should be different. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to open."

There was no array pattern on the coffin.

As for the inside of the coffin, Xu Yue took a look and found that there was indeed something on the wall of the coffin.

Then the corners of his mouth twitched.

At this moment, he felt that his head was being ruthlessly trampled by a group of alpacas, and back and forth.

"Xu Yue, did you see something?"

Everyone noticed that Xu Yue was different, but they asked Xu Yue about it.

"Did you see the array patterns on the inner wall of the coffin?"

Xu Yue glanced at everyone and then spoke.

There's nothing to hide.

The others stretched their heads to take a look, then nodded and looked at Xu Yue, waiting for his next words.

"Farmers have a kind of array pattern, and its function is very similar to that of a modern refrigerator." Seeing everyone looking at it, Xu Yue didn't keep them in suspense and said, "Keep fresh!"

Keep fresh?

When everyone heard this, their expressions instantly became strange. They looked at the corpse in the coffin and then at Xu Yue.

Use the farmer's preservation array to preserve the corpse?
What a genius idea.

"Then this coffin is like a refrigerator, isn't it?" Wu Xi couldn't help but ask, "If the body is taken out, won't it slowly rot?"

"The preservation array pattern doesn't simply lower the temperature. You can try it. The temperature inside this coffin is not low." Xu Yue said, "However, there is no need to move the body out. The body should slowly rot."

"why?"

Wu Xi couldn't help but ask.

The wisdom of the ancients is simply amazing, and their imaginations are so open.

"The formation inside is maintained by the energy of the earth veins." Xu Yue said, "I opened the tomb door and, for safety reasons, cut off the connection between this tomb and the earth veins."

"what!"

Wu Xi seemed a little regretful.

What a pity.

If this body can be preserved
"If I hadn't stopped, the moment I opened the coffin, his corpse might have really turned into a giant dumpling." Xu Yue said, "Besides, if he is still connected to the earth veins, it would be extremely difficult to walk to the main tomb chamber, let alone open the coffin."

He won't take the blame for destroying the ancient corpse.

Fortunately, Chengyu was not there, otherwise he might have started blaming him.

Xu Yue also seemed to be slow to realize things.

The connection between the earth veins and the tomb was previously severed purely for safety reasons.

After entering the tomb, he didn't feel anything wrong, and even after opening the coffin, he didn't feel anything. It was not until he saw the array patterns inside the coffin that Xu Yue suddenly realized something.

Why is this tomb not dangerous?
Why didn’t this corpse turn into a big rice dumpling?

How could the people from the great families in ancient times just preserve corpses?

How could I not want to be resurrected from the dead!
It doesn't make sense that the body was preserved so well but it didn't come back to life.

When Xu Yue saw the array pattern inside the coffin, he immediately understood.

It's all my own good deeds.

Can you come back to life from the dead?
Xu Yue was not sure, but tended to think it was impossible.

If you ask who is most likely to come back to life, Xu Yue thinks it is not someone from such a big family, but the emperors of various dynasties.

Among them, Qin Shihuang was the most outstanding.

Of course, some people may think it was King Mu of Zhou.

After all, there are many myths and legends about him.

But that is too far away from Xu Yue.

The coffin was opened, and there were many burial objects inside, some of which might be the most precious, or might be the symbol of the tomb owner's identity.

Xu Yue was not very interested in this.

After Jing Guohua came back, he and Guo Tianyou prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Leaving now?"

Jing Guohua was a little surprised. He had to admit that Xu Yue played a huge role this time.

Especially the douhu.

Once this thing comes out, the country will definitely increase its support for archaeological excavations.

There are too many secrets buried underground.

If the research on a storage device like the douhu is successful, it will definitely be a groundbreaking thing. Whether it is used in military or other purposes, its role will definitely be beyond imagination.

"I can't help you much," Xu Yue said. "We might as well go back. Let's make it clear first, if there's any writings about farming or Feng Shui in there, we have to have a copy. You can't get it for free."

"Don't worry!" Jing Guohua said, "But I definitely won't give you that bucket."

Xu Yue wanted the content of the farmer's works, and as for Feng Shui, that was naturally given to Guo Tianyou.

Xu Yue didn't need to say this.

Especially the latter, which was also one of the conditions for him to invite Guo Tianyou to break the formation.

"Can't you lend it to me for research?" Xu Yue said with a smile.

Jing Guohua just smiled.

If you want to study that thing, you probably have to find Xu Yue.

He knew this very well.

He also knew that Xu Yue knew this.

"Let's talk about it after yours is repaired." Jing Guohua said, "I won't see you off."

Xu Yue didn't waste any time and left with Guo Tianyou.

Returning like an arrow.

This time Xu Yue did not drive slowly, but took turns driving with Guo Tianyou.

After returning to Taoyuan Village, he naturally mentioned it to Zhang Ruoxi.

"Does the farmer still have fresh array patterns?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked in surprise.

Xu Yue was stunned.

He wondered if there was something wrong with the focus Zhang Ruoxi was concerned about.

Shouldn't we pay more attention to the storage capacity of the bucket?

"Yes!" Xu Yue said, "But it's useless, so I didn't spend any time studying it."

Is it useful?
There is still some use, but not that big.

After all, modern technology makes it easy to keep food fresh.
