Chapter 2191 Deciphering
Because there are two external eyes, all kinds of things have nowhere to hide in front of the external eyes, and there is no secret at all.
The items in the wooden box had been buried deep in the ground for who knows how many years, so they had a cold aura unique to ancient tombs.
She didn't like that kind of smell, Le Xiaoxiao.
The little Lolita has a sharp eye, and she can tell at a glance. Yan Xing's desire to show off disappeared, and he gave Wulingshen to her first: "This is the medicinal material collected by the brothers in the team when they went out on a mission. This time there are brothers. I found a few and brought them to you as medicinal materials."
Then he pushed another wooden box over: "This is the cultural relic we snatched back. When we checked the past of Huang Zhichang, we found out that he had been with A certain collector had dealings with a cultural relic dealer, and learned that he had sold several cultural relics.
This time Huang Zhichang was arrested, and the buyer quickly changed hands for fear of being implicated. The cultural relic dealer wanted to smuggle it overseas for trading, and we hunted for half a month before we succeeded in smuggling it. The thing was intercepted.
This looks like the words on an animal shell. None of the brothers in our team recognize it. You are very knowledgeable. Please help me decipher it." "Okay, leave it alone. It's not clean enough
. I'm going to prepare some medicine to disinfect them first." Yan Chihuo didn't send the things to the cultural relic experts for research. He thought it was because asking the cultural relic experts to study them would take time, and he wanted to make a quick decision.
"Okay." The little Loli didn't reply, so Yan Xing quickly closed the lid of the wooden box.
To study something, Xiao Le temporarily put the drawings away on the low table, went to the kitchen to get a small basin, and then looked for medicinal materials in the boxes in the shelves of the medicine cabinet or in the high cabinets where medicinal materials were collected.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, I found more than a dozen kinds of medicines, then took them to the kitchen, set up a stove, and placed an earthen pot to cook medicine soup.
When burning yak dung in the stove, you need to keep the fire burning. After about half an hour, the medicinal soup in the earthen pot boils.
The little Loli waited for another ten minutes, then removed the earthenware pot, added smokeless charcoal to the stove, placed another large earthenware pot, threw a fish head and medicinal materials into the pot, and cooked fish head soup.
After waiting for a while, the little Loli took a stainless steel basin, poured the prepared medicinal soup into the steel basin, and added a pinch of plant ash and two bowls of cold water.
After preparing the potion, he took it to the restaurant, threw the animal shell pieces and silk cloth into the basin and soaked them, then found gloves and put them on to protect his hands, and then gently rubbed the silk cloth.
The medicinal soup was originally red, but after rubbing the silk for a while, the water became darker and darker.
The little loli didn't care whether the water had changed color or not. She gently rubbed the silk until it stopped losing color, and then used a soft-bristled brush to brush the shell and nail plates.
I brushed each shell piece once, took the water to the bathroom and flushed it into the sewer, then mixed the medicinal soup with cold water and washed it twice, and the cleaning work was completed.
Wipe the shell pieces and silk clean, and spread them out.
The remaining silk fabric is less than half the width of a palm, and the periphery has been corroded to pieces. The silk surface is clean, and there is only a little embroidery in one place.
Le Yun studied the silk repeatedly against the light for a while before saying the result: "This silk has been stained with human sweat. It is either the remnants of a handkerchief or the remnants of underwear. There are too few traces of embroidery to be sure. Whether it is embroidered with decorations or characters, it can be dated to the middle and late Three Kingdoms period."
"During the Three Kingdoms period?" Yan Xing opened his eyes wide. The provincial capital of E Province belonged to the Chu State during the Warring States Period, and most of the area belonged to Soochow during the Three Kingdoms Period. As for the site, I just don’t know if it is a pure Soochow antique.
Le Yun nodded, studied the shell armor again, played with it for a while, and then arranged it into a pattern.
The shell is a tortoise shell. There are six pieces in total, five large and one small. Only two pieces are connected. The other tortoise shell pieces are not connected shell pieces.
There are three bamboo slips, one is more than three inches long, and the other two are only between one and two inches.
There are two characters engraved on the long bamboo slip. On the one-inch-long bamboo strip, only the corners of the characters remain, and on the other piece, only the lower half of a certain character remains.
Four of the six pieces of tortoise shell have complete characters, while the characters on the other two pieces only have part of the corners remaining. The characters are somewhere between pictographic characters and seal script.
After fiddling with it for a while, Le Yun took out a pen and paper, copied the words, looked at them again and again, sweating: "If you guessed correctly, this bamboo slip is from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the tortoise shell is from the mid-Shang Dynasty. Neither of them.
" The native products of Province E come from the Wuxia area of Chongqing Province. It is difficult to say the native place of the tortoise shells. This kind of tortoise can be found all over the country. The bamboo has the characteristics of the native areas of the Wuxia area. These pieces of tortoise shells are ancient in the Bashu area
. It is a sacred object used by witches for divination and blessing, so it is either a burial object for a great priest of the witch clan, or a burial object for a certain leader." After studying for a while, the little Loli got an idea, and Yan
Xingliang Eyes filled with mosquito coils, he swallowed his saliva: "Little loli, what are those words?" "The
four complete words are the words God, Earth, River and Thunder, and the other two are just the remaining corners. It's hard to make a conclusion.
On the long bamboo slip is the word "Houde". The radical of the half-character bamboo slip can be determined to be the bottom of the word "wood", but the upper part cannot be guessed. The other bamboo slip only has incomplete strokes. There's no way to guess."
Little Loli deciphered a few words. Yan Xing stretched his neck and leaned over, taking a look, with a look of doubt on his face: "Is this God, Earth, River, and Thunder? I can't tell at all. It makes people guess and can’t even think of it.
Little Lolita, is this the word for god? Is this the word for river? Is this the word for land?”
Yan Foodie pointed at the tortoise shell and checked the words into her seat, while Le Yun silently looked at the sky. : "You perfectly avoided all the correct answers."
"None of them are correct?" Yan Xing opened his eyes in disbelief. How could it be possible? Just four words, and he didn't get any of them right?
"Well, so you perfectly avoided the correct answer. You said the word for "地" is the word for "神", and the word for "river" is the word for "神". The one you thought was the word for "地" is the word for "雷"." "The word for "神" and the character for "river
" I'm wrong, I accept it, but the word thunder and the word earth are also wrong, so I don't accept it, these two words are not related to each other."
Yan Xing wanted to break the tortoise shell.
"But it happens to be like that." Yan Chihuo showed an expression of doubt about life, and Le Yun pursed her lips and snickered: "They all said that this was something used by the ancestors of the Wu Gorge area, Wu Zhu. Those ancient Shu people had The belief passed down from distant ancestors is very strange.
The word "地" that you think is the word "Tu" is actually lightning. This is the worship of the thunder and lightning power by the ancestors in some places in Bashu." Don't ask her who it is
. How do you know?
When I asked, she had seen the kind of pictographic and seal-like characters in Dongchen Continent. There was a tribe in the southwest of Dongchen Continent that used that kind of ancient and magical characters. Going back to the origin, it was also a talisman font. One of the ancestors.
"Is that lightning? Where does it look like lightning?" Yan Xing stared at a certain word over and over masochistically, really doubting his life.
"You don't look like lightning. The ancestors somewhere in Bashu thought it looked like it. To be more detailed, it looks like a tree struck by lightning. This one represents lightning, and the other side represents rain and clouds. It has the characteristics The characteristics of the rain god, cloud god and lightning god are thunder."
Le Yun explained, smiling and rolling her eyes: "From these words, it can be speculated that sacrifices are held every spring to pray to the gods of heaven, earth, thunder and other gods for good weather. Or there is a heavy rain and a big flood, and you offer sacrifices and pray for the rain to stop and the water to recede.
Or, if a certain important person dies, ask the gods of heaven and earth to bless him, the god of thunder not to avoid him, the god of river not to stop him from crossing the river, and the god of earth to take him in. "I..." Yan Xing stared at the words for another ten seconds, then
gave up as if frustrated: "Forget it, the beliefs of our ancestors are too amazing. It's not something I can understand. After all, after hundreds or thousands of years, the generation gap is too big." "
It's not a problem of generation gap, but that you read less. If you read more and study history and culture more, maybe there will be no generation gap. Maybe it will become an endorsement."
"You are beating the bush again and saying that I am stupid." If you are stupid, you should study more, and that is what the little lolita probably meant.
"No, this time you misunderstood. This time I advise you to study more history and culture when you have time. In this way, you will find many interesting things. For example, these can be used as a basis for studying the life and culture of the ancestors in Wuxia area. Maybe You can also dig out a lot of life customs and culture that you didn't know before."
"Everyone should make the best use of their talents, so let's leave it to the geniuses who study history." He is a big-headed soldier. He only needs to know history. Even if he studies it, he still studies modern tactics and A more suitable escape route for the criminals.
"If you don't study those, you can take these back now to study how to add another crime to Huang Lao Zamao."
Bamboo slips from the Spring and Autumn Period and tortoise shells from the mid-Shang Dynasty are precious cultural relics for studying the cultural customs of that era, especially Bamboo slips are generally difficult to preserve and are even more precious.
Huang Laozamao and others secretly embezzled cultural relics and profited from them by selling cultural relics. His gang did not take the initiative to explain in court. He probably thought that they were unaware of it.
Classmate Le Xiao also admired Yan Chihuo and his team. The evidence she obtained did not record that the old bastard had embezzled tortoise shells and bamboo slips.
The bribes Lao Zamao received included antiques, jade, porcelain, imported goods from overseas, high-end luxury jewelry, and a few pieces of bronze.
Those things were secretly resold by him and his son, thus making huge profits.
Yan Shuaiguo and his brothers caught another piece of evidence of Lao Zamao's crime, which must be added in the second trial to add another shame to him.
"It is the job of the public prosecutor to add charges to the old bastard. I will not take their job. I will only provide them with evidence and witnesses. What's more, I heard that
those scumbags have appealed and there is still some time before the second trial. I At least you have to give yourself a rest first, don't exhaust your body."
Little Loli wants him to get out again, Yan Xing is not in good condition, how can he stay and occupy the territory?
"Oh, you also know that you need to take a rest. Why did you come to the paradise just after you came back if you didn't take a rest in your army?" "
Please identify what this is."
"Now that I have recognized him, why don't you just stay in the corner and take a good nap, and why are you chattering away?" "Hey!" The little
Loli was kind enough to let him catch up on his sleep on the spot, and Yan Xing's mood was aroused. , picked up a chair and ran to the north side of the nave to place the chair next to the partition board, sat on it and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
Mr. Yan fell asleep, and Mr. Le continued to ponder the tortoise shell.
