Chapter 315

More than a dozen stone tablets of different sizes lined up in a row in the very center of the passage.Chen Ziyang saw that although the sizes of these stone tablets were slightly different, the overall style of these dozens of stone tablets was all the same.

Seen from a distance, the stele is divided into upper and lower parts.The upper part is slightly narrower, and the lower part seems to be a larger base, slightly wider.

A few people used flashlights to slide back and forth between the dozens of steles. In addition to the dozens of steles, there are also pot-shaped things placed under the steles. A pile of jars.

After walking this passage for so long, I finally saw something other than the roots of the plants.All the people walked forward slowly, while guarding the surroundings, while carefully observing these steles.

After getting close, the five people separated, and each of them looked at the things they were interested in.The first thing Chen Ziyang noticed was that the material of these steles was very different from the ground here, and it was also different from the texture of the entire stele before.

The ground of the channel seems to be some kind of shale, showing a kind of grayish brown, and there are obvious lines on it, and the layers are particularly obvious.But the materials of these steles are very different.

The color of the stele is yellowish-brown, relatively light in color, with dots of reflection on it.After tapping the stone tablet a few times with his hands, Chen Ziyang felt that the hardness of the stone tablet should be harder than the shale on the ground, and the texture should be more compact.

When he struck the stele, a large piece of coagulated dust fell off from the place where he struck it, and a pattern appeared on the place where the dust fell.

This discovery made Chen Ziyang's eyes brighten. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped vigorously on the surface of the stele.With the movement of the handkerchief in his hand, a large amount of solidified dust fell off in pieces, revealing a complete picture on the stone tablet.

Seeing such a secret hidden on the stele, Chen Ziyang hastily wiped the lower half of the stele in the same way. Although there are still many things carved on the lower half of the stele, all of them are words.

Chen Ziyang was not interested in the text, because he couldn't understand it at all, but these pictures were very important clues.After wiping all the dust off the first stele, he hurriedly turned to the second stele.

When the dirty handkerchief was scratched across this stele, Chen Ziyang saw that there were still some pictures carved on the upper part of the second stele.At this time, other people also noticed his discovery, so the four people except Yang Lei all began to wipe different stone tablets, and pictures and paragraphs of words were slowly revealed from the stone tablets.

Seeing that other people were interested in these worthless steles, Yang Lei sneered at them. "These broken stone tablets are so big, we can't take them away at all. Let's get something practical." After saying this, Yang Lei, who found that no one was paying attention to him, bent down and picked up the pieces in front of the stone tablet one by one. Those pots and jars looked carefully.

In front of each stele, there are a bunch of pots and pots. These pots and pots are of different sizes and shapes, and the things contained in them are also different.Yang Lei picked up these jars one by one and rummaged through them, hoping to find something valuable inside.

After rummaging through more than a dozen jars in a row, a disappointed expression appeared on his face.Most of the contents of these pots and jars were rotten and condensed together, turning into a big black hard thing, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.

However, there are also some jars that are better preserved, but Yang Lei found that these things are the same as the jars filled with seeds that everyone saw when they first entered here, and the contents inside are still shriveled particles. It should be the seeds of some kind of plant or something.

At the beginning, Yang Lei was quite patient. After taking a jar and finding that there was nothing valuable in it, he would put the jar back to its original place. But as he saw more and more empty jars, Yang Lei His hot temper also came up.Grab a jar, and when he sees that there is nothing good in it, he will throw the jar aside vigorously.

The jars were smashed not far from Yang Lei, and the sound of bangs echoed in the empty passage.Fragments of the jar and its contents were spread across the floor.

Chen Ziyang, who had just cleaned up a stone tablet and was looking carefully at the pattern on the stone tablet, was disturbed by the sound of the jars being smashed.He turned his head and glanced at the smashed jars, and said to Yang Lei:
"Be careful, boy, haven't you noticed? The arrangement of the jars is very unique. Obviously, these are some sacrifices, and they are used to enshrine these steles. If you ruin other people's things like this, maybe there will be 2000 people in a while." The old monster of many years will come out and claim your life."

"Didn't you say it all before, more than 2000 years, all the messy things have dissipated, I'm still afraid of them, there are too many jars and jars, and there are valuable things inside, I have to take a look at them one by one, if they don't break , maybe it will be mixed up at any time.

Could these black things be sacrifices?Er Yang, are you kidding me?Can these seeds be used as sacrifices?This is more fooling ghosts than burning paper money for ghosts. Who cares about these things. "

Glancing at the seeds all over the ground, Chen Ziyang replied: "Those shriveled, round things should be soybeans, the small ones should be corn, and this kind of black and slender things like pine needles. , should be wild rice.

Although these things are not worth much now, they were considered rare in the Western Han Dynasty 2000 years ago, especially in the edge of the desert, these things are no different from treasures. "

"According to what you said, our little life is pretty good. We now regard the sacrifices from this ancient corn country as rubbish. If I lived in that era, I could also be a local rich man.

It's a pity, these things are worthless now, so leave me alone, I'll continue to look for my valuable things.The ancient country of corn is worthy of being an ancient country of corn, and there is nothing but corn. "

After saying this, Yang Lei broke another jar with his hands.Xiao Ren, who was standing aside and wiping the stele, took a look at his actions, and said with a look of contempt:

"What an idiot who wants to make a fortune but doesn't even know the most basic knowledge. Although the contents of these jars are worthless, no matter which one of these jars you take out, you can sell them for 80. I don't know gold and jade."

"You villain, who are you scolding? You, Mr. Lei, I will show you one today." After saying this, Yang Lei smashed several jars in succession. I don't know if he did it on purpose. Still unintentionally, after these jars were smashed, all the fragments of the jars rushed towards Xiao Ren's direction, causing all the fragments of jars under his feet.

Xiao Ren, who was about to go up to fight with Yang Lei, suddenly saw instructor Liu throwing a blank stare at him.After mumbling and cursing in Yang Lei's direction, Xiao Ren continued his work and wiped the stone tablet in front of him.

Seeing that Xiao Ren didn't quarrel with him, Yang Lei stopped targeting him, but stood up, quietly walked to Chen Ziyang's side, and whispered in his ear: "Er Yang, what's wrong with you?" Is what the kid said true? Are these jars really that valuable?"

After glancing at the jars on the ground, Chen Ziyang replied: "What do you think of the jars from more than 2000 years ago? This is still a conservative estimate. If you find a special style with some patterns on it, it will be very expensive." It may be a cultural relic of the national treasure level, even if you have money, you can't buy it, it is a priceless treasure."

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Yang Lei turned his head and showed a heartbroken expression to the broken jars on the floor. "My dear, why didn't you tell me earlier!" After saying this, Yang Lei carefully put down the jar in his hand, and then carefully wiped the dust on it with his sleeve, His rude action of smashing the jar just now was completely different.

Then Yang Lei took his backpack in front of him, poured out the contents of the backpack, and put a relatively large jar into the backpack.When he took another jar and wanted to put it in the backpack, he found that there was no room in the backpack.

After several attempts, Yang Lei failed to put the small jar into his backpack. After sighing, he stared at the jar in front of him and said to himself: "A big jar can probably sell for 200 million. If a If the small jars sell for 100 million yuan, it would be more suitable for me to install four small jars than one big jar."

After saying these words, he took out the big jar from the backpack, and then selected four smaller jars from the pile of jars in front of him. After pouring out the contents, he carefully put the jars A few jars were put into the backpack.

Seeing Yang Lei's actions, Chen Ziyang couldn't help but laugh, but fortunately, Yang Lei finally stopped making noise, and he could finally look at the stone carvings in front of him with peace of mind.

fine!This is Chen Ziyang's first impression of the patterns carved on these steles.

He had also seen stone stele carvings in many tombs before, including in the tomb of Cardinal Yuyuhualong in shallow water, in the tomb of Li Yu of the Eastern Dynasty, in the underground palace of the ancient country of Bohai Sea, and even in the NMG's most shady place.Although those carvings also lack some better carved things, compared with the murals in front of them, they are simply nothing.

Most of the stone carvings in the tombs that Chen Ziyang had seen before had simple lines, but they had a similar shape. At most, they could be regarded as relatively old decorations, but the pictures carved on the stone tablets in front of them were definitely works of art.

The pictures carved on these steles are extremely exquisite, and every detail is perfectly outlined. Chen Ziyang even saw that on a camel pattern the size of his thumbnail, there were engraved camel eyes and camel nostrils.

Every character and every detail of every house on the picture is clearly depicted. If it is not because of the age, the gaps of these carved lines are covered with a lot of dust, it is very likely that these carved pictures give people The overall feeling will be more beautiful.

In a short time, the dust on all the dozen stone tablets was roughly cleaned up. The patterns on the dozens of stone tablets were all different. The upper half of all the stone tablets was a whole picture, while the lower half All are written characters.

The four people except Yang Lei gathered in front of the first stele and looked back one by one.After looking around like a horse watching flowers, everyone found that these dozens of pictures seemed to be connected together, telling a story about this ancient country.After having a general idea in mind, the four people regrouped in front of the first stele and began to look carefully.

There are relatively few figures and houses depicted on the first stele, but it depicts a miserable picture.All the houses are dilapidated, and the number of houses is very small, and some houses even have relatively large holes in the roofs.In front of these houses, some people fell there in disarray, or leaned against the wall weakly, and a dilapidated village appeared in front of everyone.

Chen Ziyang noticed that in this picture, many people in ragged clothes were holding empty jars or bowls, and some people even raised the jars high, and the mouth of the jars rushed down, as if trying to get out of it. Pour out what isn't there.

Combining some other scenes and the expressions and movements of the characters, Chen Ziyang roughly judged that this painting seems to describe this ancient country of Mimi, but the people in it are about to die, it seems that it is because of them. Very short of water.

The second picture still depicts this dilapidated village. In this picture, all the previous villagers gathered together, talking to a woman in front of them.

This woman is obviously a foreigner, because the woman's clothes are very gorgeous, and she even has a lot of accessories on her body. From the composition of the overall picture, it can be seen that this woman is not from the village.

From the facial expressions of these villagers, Chen Ziyang found that their attitude towards this woman was not very friendly, some even showed expressions of disgust and disgust, and several people glared at this woman.But this woman has a pleasant face, giving people a sense of aloofness and detachment from the world.

What attracted Chen Ziyang the most was the pendant on this woman's chest.Although the drawn lines are a bit blurred here, he saw that there was a pendant hanging on the woman's chest, and this pendant was exactly the shape of the red eye on the sheepskin that recorded the ancient treasure of the ancient country. Even the lines are exactly the same.
