Chapter 80: King Qin’s accession to the throne and the devil’s revision? Confused old professors!
The clear stream flows, splashing thousands of waves on the rocks at the foot of the mountain.
In the scorching sun, there were seven or eight figures in the cool stream, searching for something in the rushing water.
Except for the two girls, the remaining six figures all had old faces and gray hair.
But at this time, they stood in the knee-high stream, but they did not show any signs of tiredness. The rapid stream did not have any impact on them. The six gray-haired old men rolled up their trouser legs and carefully Searching for everything on the river bed, the old cheek almost touched the water, for fear of overlooking any details!
I don’t know how long it took, but one of the old men was suddenly stunned. He quickly grabbed an object from the stream and stood up. After identifying it for a while, he burst out laughing!
"Hahaha! Found it!"
"I found a fragment!"
The old man laughed excitedly, and everyone looked around hurriedly and found it in his hand There was an extra piece the size of a palm.
It is about one centimeter thick and irregular as a whole. The whole body is covered with a dull red color, with many black and white outline patterns in it, with a slight curvature, like a broken tile.
Seeing the fragments in the old man's hand, everyone was suddenly surprised!
“There is really one!”
“There is another fragment!”
“Hahahaha! It’s really not in vain!”
< br>Everyone was excited and excited, even the two girls had bright eyes!
That's right!
These old men are none other than others!
It is the many archaeologists who came to search in the Qilian Mountains!
Ever since the clay basin base was discovered here, Ye Qingyao immediately told all the remaining people about the discovery here!
“You found the ruins?!”
"A colorful ceramic cellar basin base from the Qin Dynasty?"
"It has not even been eroded and faded by the river water?"
After hearing the news about Ye Qingyao, many archaeologists asked He was stunned for a moment, and then he followed the location display on the radio with some doubts and arrived at Ye Qingyao's location.
However, when they saw the base of the pottery cellar basin that Ye Qingyao was holding, they were all shocked!
“It’s actually true!!”
Seeing this scene, a group of old archaeologists were extremely excited!
They have been searching in this barren mountain for two full months, and almost all their passion has been exhausted!
Now, only six old men, including Ye Qingyao, Chu Yi, and old man Li Yunshan, are left in the search team!
The remaining people had all gone home during this period!
Even among the group of people who were tracking down the Ding Qin Sword and the Alchemy Altar in museums across the country, only a few people like old man Lu Changling were still persisting!
Now, looking at the clay cellar basin base in Ye Qingyao's hand is like a powerful shot in the arm, rekindling their hope!
Without hesitation, they started searching upwards along the stream!
As expected!
The discovery this time did not disappoint them!
After searching the riverbed for less than half an hour, they found several broken ancient cultural relics!
Most of these cultural relics are fragments of clay utensils, and they are different. Some are fragments of pottery bowls, some are fragments of pottery pots, and some are some unknown pottery
But without exception, they are all dark red. The bottom is outlined in black and white, and the pattern is complex and magnificent. Even if it is dimmed and washed away by the years, it still shows its former momentum!
Especially the recently discovered fragment, which has a black black bird engraved on it!
And near the black black bird, there is a small ancient character written on it!
“Qin!”
The people standing here are all famous archaeologists from ancient Xianyang and even Shaan'an. How could they not recognize this word?
Everyone has bright eyes!
"Qin! The relics here are really from the Qin Dynasty!"
Although they had previously guessed that the relics here might be related to the Qin Dynasty through the clay, textures, and sketched patterns and portraits , but when they actually saw the words on it, they were still extremely excited!
“Maybe there really is a ruin here!”
“The records in unofficial histories are not necessarily false!”
“All these clay objects were found in the river, which shows that this stream probably came out of that ruins and followed the Going up the stream, you will definitely find more things!”
“That’s right! Although the colors on these clay objects are blurred and dim, they have not faded away, which indicates that they may have been broken not long ago, or at least not long ago. It will take more than two years!"
"Great! If it were a few years later, I might not be able to tell the difference even if I see it!"
"Qingyao! You are really the mascot of our team! Lao Li, you have a great granddaughter!”
Many old archaeologists were talking excitedly, and the old man Li Yunshan was obviously very happy that his granddaughter was praised in this way, but in the end he still kept a straight face and forcefully said: "Stop talking nonsense! Come over quickly!"
"Hahaha! Let's go!!"
It's hot summer!
The hot wind blew in the jungle, and the harsh and irritable chirping of cicadas echoed on both sides of the stream. However, the many archaeologists who had found a trace at this time were no longer irritated at all.
They stood in the rushing river, carefully swam upstream, carefully observing everything in the river bed, for fear of missing any details!
"It will definitely happen"
"It will definitely happen!"
Many old archaeologists muttered silently, walking in the rushing river, and fine lines had already appeared on their foreheads beads of sweat.
A group of people went up the mud flow.
The surrounding jungle is green,
Summer is hot.
On the way down, Li Yunshan, Ye Qingyao and others once again found several fragments in the stream. Although these fragments were not large, they particularly inspired everyone's confidence to continue moving forward!
Going in the opposite direction.
I don’t know how long this situation lasted. Everyone walked from noon to night, and then rested for a while before moving on the next day.
After trudging on this river for two full days, everyone suddenly discovered that the originally fast-flowing river began to become calmer at some point!
Not only that, the river water, which was slightly hot under the scorching sun, gradually became cooler!
Then this coolness gradually turned into ice coldness, which was particularly abrupt in the hot summer.
What's going on?
Why is this happening?
Everyone was a little surprised.
The jungles on both sides seemed to be getting taller, with scattered branches covering the sky and the sun. From time to time, hares and wild boars were running in the jungle, making rustling sounds.
Not only that, even the chirping of birds and cicadas seemed to have decreased, and the surrounding jungle seemed to become silent all of a sudden.
Feeling the increasingly weird atmosphere, everyone frowned.
But in the end, they did not stop, but continued to move forward.
The silent jungle is shrouded in dark shadows.
The cold stream is biting.
I don’t know how long after walking here, a dark rock crack suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the crack in the rock, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their pupils shrank!
Because in front of the stream they were walking.
It was an underground river!
"An underground river?"
Seeing this, everyone finally understood why the previous stream was so cold. This was actually water flowing from an underground river!
"To be precise, it should be flowing from a crack in a mountain range. It is not the purest underground river."
Looking at the huge river that is as tall as two people. In the cracks in the mountains, old man Li Yunshan spoke in a deep voice.
“What should I do? Do you want to go in?”
After hearing this, everyone hesitated.
There is no doubt that places like underground rivers have always been extremely dangerous, and the many geographical factors they constitute have led to instability here.
Various undercurrents, pits, and rocks
In the dark mountains, various dangers may occur if you are not careful!
Although the underground river in front of you is not the most dangerous, but evolved from the fissures in the mountains, it is still equally dangerous!
Logically speaking, it is the safest way for everyone to stop now and wait for professionals to come in!
But now this place is located deep in a dense forest. If you want to call someone here, it will take at least a week or so!
And even if they come, if they are not a professional archaeological team, they will still find something!
After all, antiques and cultural relics have been buried underground for too many years, especially things like clay relics. Not every one of them has a color. Even if people who don’t understand see it, they may recognize it. Treat it as an ordinary piece of stone!
And when it comes to exploring cultural relics, professionals are not as good as professional archaeologists after all!
Everyone looked at each other, but finally gritted their teeth!
“I’ve been looking here for more than two months, what if I don’t go and take a look?”
“Qingyao, you and Xiaochu stay here to make a call and ask for help. The department sent someone to assist," an old professor of archeology said in a deep voice, "We old men will go take a look!"
Hearing this, Ye Qingyao and Chu Yi were stunned, and then they just thought. If he objected, old man Li Yunshan waved his hand to stop him.
“Don’t worry, although we old men are old, our bodies are not weak.”
"I have been going to the mountains and the sea all year round. What place have I not seen? I have seen underground rivers, fissures and other places like this several times."
"Although you two are young, you still have little experience. It won't be good if you go down." Ye Qingyao and Chu Yi opened their mouths, but in the end they looked at the firm eyes of the old people and could only nod their heads and spoke worriedly.
“Be careful!”
Li Yunshan and several old men nodded, took the necessary equipment and flashlights, and carefully walked into the cracks in the mountain. In the underground river.
The river is silent.
Perhaps it is not because of purely underground rivers. Although the rivers in this mountain are dark, they are not too narrow. On the contrary, they are quite spacious.
There are traces of corrosion on both sides and signs of erosion by a large amount of water.
The entire river was extremely dark and extremely humid. The cold river water flowed on the hard rocks, and the potholes were filled with puddles and raised stones.
“Be careful.”
"Be careful."
A few old archaeologists walked cautiously. In this dangerous area, their rich archaeological field experience came in handy.
In the dark and twisted river, it was extremely blocked, and the six of them could not straighten up. In some twisted places, they could only lie on the ground and sink half of their bodies into the water. past.
After walking through the river, a dark bottomless fissure appeared in front of him. The old man Li Yunshan who was walking in the front almost missed his step and fell. Thanks to the old archaeologist behind him, With quick eyes and quick hands, I caught him!
“It’s really dangerous.”
After arriving here, old man Li Yunshan and others were already a little scared.
This underground river is so complicated that even a group of old people like them, who have been doing field archeology for half their lives and are almost full-level explorers, almost fell into it.
After some discussion, everyone planned to go forward a certain distance. If they didn't find anything, they would retreat.
Proceed cautiously.
Along the way, everyone looked around, but still found nothing except a few fragments of clay objects.
Just keep going.
I don’t know how long it took, but the stream in front suddenly began to weaken.
And the originally narrow road began to become wider at some point.
"Huh?"
An old archaeologist frowned because he discovered that air flow was gradually surging in the underground river. It was obvious that wind was blowing in from somewhere.
And on both sides of these rocks, old man Li Yunshan actually discovered a stretch of moss!
These moss are continuous together and spread far away. It seems to be many years old at a glance.
This discovery made several people breathe a sigh of relief, because it showed that at least it was relatively strong and would not collapse at any time.
Move on.
However, not long after leaving, an old archaeologist in the team suddenly frowned, turned on a searchlight, and came to a wall, frowning.
"What's wrong?" asked another old archaeologist.
“There seems to be something wrong with this mountain.” The archaeologist frowned: “And you didn’t notice that compared to the underground river channel we walked through before, it is too flat? And it is too spacious.”
Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and then frowned.
Indeed.
The underground river they walked through earlier was curved and broken, completely shapeless. There were protruding stones and sharp gravels everywhere, like ruins. At first glance, they were formed by the fracture of the mountain.
If it weren't for the guidance of the underground river, they wouldn't even be able to find the accurate way forward.
But now.
Everyone looked around and found that although the underground river they were in was still rough, it was much better than before.
After watching for a while, old man Li Yunshan narrowed his eyes.
“This seems not to be an underground river originally, but more like an artificially excavated road!”
the way?
Everyone's pupils shrank and they looked around hurriedly.
As expected, it didn’t take long for everyone to find traces of excavations all around!
Under a thick patch of moss, the rocks were abnormally fractured, with large irregular jagged fractures.
“Keep going!”
Seeing all this, everyone's morale was immediately boosted!
What does this mean?
They may not be far from the ruins recorded in unofficial history!
The six of them looked at each other and hurriedly moved on!
However, they have not yet gone far
"Huh?"
An old archaeologist walking at the end of the team suddenly frowned. As he walked, he suddenly came to the corner next to him and squatted down, and started to pull.
After a moment, the old archaeologist’s pupils suddenly shrank and he suddenly screamed!
“This is.”
“Old Li! Old Wang! Come on, come and see! What is this!”
Many archaeologists were stunned and hurriedly ran over with flashlights.
"What's wrong? What did you find? What is this?!"
Before he finished speaking, old man Li Yunshan was stunned!
Because in the hands of the old archaeologist, it was none other than a piece of black jade!
This jade is quite neat, about the size of two palms. From the gap, it seems to be a broken fragment, just like the previous clay fragments.
But compared to the previous clay fragments, this black jade is obviously much finer!
The fine lines are carved on it, which looks particularly exquisite. Although it is broken and broken, it has a warm feeling. Just at a glance, it has a colorful ancient meaning!
“A piece of broken jade?!
“There is such a jade here! ”
Many archaeologists were so surprised that they came forward one after another!
In the dazzling flashlight light, the black jade is as dazzling as obsidian. Even people who are not professional archaeologists can clearly know that this jade is definitely worth a lot of money!
The most important thing is that on the back of this broken jade, there are still a few lines of colorful small characters vaguely carved!
There is a written record! !
The six old archaeologists were extremely surprised. Without saying a word, they endured the excitement in their hearts and hurriedly watched!
[The first year of King Qin’s calendar]
[A hundred schools of thought contended, and the seven kingdoms competed for hegemony. Since the death of the previous king, King Zhaoxiang, the Great Qin Dynasty has lost two kings one after another. The fortune and celestial phenomena have declined terribly. If things go on like this, it will be a period of great chaos. 】
Seeing this, the eyes of many archaeologists suddenly lit up!
A hundred schools of thought contend!
Qi Kingdom fights for hegemony!
Queen Zhuang Xiang lost two kings one after another
And it’s still the first year of King Qin’s calendar!
This, isn’t this a record of what happened when Ying Zheng came to the throne!
I actually
saw it on this jade slip! !
But what is this so-called fortune celestial phenomenon?
The archaeologists were puzzled, but did not pay attention. They speculated that it was some kind of name for the national destiny in the Qin Dynasty.
Then he suppressed his excitement and continued to watch.
[At this critical moment, the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, Zizheng, was appointed as the king of Qin. 】
【Before taking the throne, there were people from hundreds of schools of thought who looked at the heavens and divined the fortunes. It's like two tigers fighting each other. 】
Seeing this, the six old archaeologists nodded repeatedly, their eyes shining!
Sure enough!
This is the jade inscription that records the time when King Qin ascended the throne!
I didn’t expect to see it here!
Everyone was excited and hurriedly continued reading.
However, when old man Li Yunshan continued to read the words behind the jade stone, he was suddenly stunned.
Because
【However, on the day that Qin Wangzheng came to the throne, he caused an unparalleled appearance! 】
【A strong wind is blowing, and hundreds of birds are falling from the sky! 】
【The king of Qin said that the vastness is shaking, all spirits are coming to the mountains, millions of beasts are rushing like rivers, and dust is swirling in the sky, worshiping the king! 】
【There are six countries who are kowtowing, and all the disciples are kneeling, and the celestial elephants with brilliant power are like pillars, rising to the sky, and the power of their power shakes the sky and moves the court! 】
Um? ?
Looking at these records, the six old archaeologists were stunned.
Are the ancients so good at boasting?
The author strongly recommends a very interesting book with a very special theme. Everyone should read it.
