Turning off the alarm on his cell phone, Xiao Bai sat by the bed for a while before getting up to wash up.
After having a simple breakfast with his sister who looked resentful, Xiao Bai came to the excavation site again.
After emergency deployment last night, biochemical protective suits and Geiger counters were sent to the scene this morning.
Seeing Du An put on the protective clothing on himself without hesitation, and then went down to the tomb alone.
Xiao Bai's heart also tightened nervously.
A long while.
When Du An below put the Geiger counter into the coffin, and after a moment shouted to the nervous people above that there was no radiation, Xiao Bai heard it clearly, and everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Geiger counter did not detect any radioactive elements in the bluish bones, for safety reasons, the number of participants was still limited for continuing to open the coffin today.
All staff who need to be directly involved in sorting out the funerary objects in the coffin are now wearing biochemical protective suits.
With everything ready, the heavy coffin lid was slowly and completely pushed open.
Just like Xiao Bai's dream last night, an extremely tall blue skeleton appeared in front of him.
Soon, Xiao Bai heard the preliminary measurement data below. The length of this skeleton was 208 centimeters.
His height during his lifetime should have been steadily over two meters.
Not to mention this height in ancient times, even in modern society, he is still a very tall man.
Soon, after taking photos and measurements, the busy cleaning work began.
Because the inside of the bronze coffin looks very dry, the funerary objects and bones are clearly visible inside the coffin. The number of funerary objects is not very large. Looking at it, it looks like there are only a few pieces.
As the cleanup began, the few burial objects were picked out one by one.
A bronze knife handle, a gold mask, copper pieces with strange totems engraved on them, and a gold seal that is almost the same size as what Xiao Bai found before.
The six-character seal script on the square gold seal is also the only text found in the tomb.
General's seal.
Although the first few words are relatively complicated, they have not yet been successfully decoded.
But the last three words are very familiar to experts who have been engaged in archaeological work for many years.
Is this a general's tomb?
After learning about the situation, Xiao Bai couldn't believe it.
The size of this general's tomb seems to be a bit too large. With such a large tomb and so many bronzes buried with it, according to Xiao Bai's original prediction, this should be at least the tomb of a king from a small country.
Soon, several staff members worked together to take out the blue skeleton from the bronze coffin.
Immediately afterwards, several people below checked that there was nothing else under the skeleton, and then began to fix the bronze coffin with ropes, preparing to lift the bronze coffin out and transport it away.
soon.
This bronze coffin, which shocked countless archaeologists, was transported to the Yunling Provincial Museum along with the bones.
In a spacious room.
The blue bones were laid flat on the corpse bed.
There are not only archaeologists present today, but also several senior forensic scientists.
soon.
An autopsy began on the 2,500-year-old skeleton.
Looking at the blue substance that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, several forensic doctors also frowned frequently.
After an autopsy that lasted for nearly a day, the archaeological team finally obtained the autopsy results of the tomb owner.
The owner of the tomb died at the head of the owl.
The blue color on the bones is due to blue iron ore and some small amounts of other minerals that have been oxidized many times.
The tomb owner should have been sealed in the bronze coffin after his bones were processed into blue, rather than becoming like this for some reason in the coffin.
Upon hearing this conclusion, many archaeologists at the scene were stunned.
This skeleton was processed into blue. Was it dyed directly after the flesh and blood were scraped off after death, or was it dyed after the corpse had decomposed and only the bones were left? The question lingered in their minds.
There are still too many unsolved mysteries about this tomb dating from 500 BC.
Because the only cultural relic with text found in this tomb is a small gold seal, there is still a lot of work to be done in order to verify the identity and life of the tomb owner.
But, all this has nothing to do with Xiao Bai anymore.
…
After finishing the transcript, Xiao Bai took his sister to other nearby cities.
In the past few days, Xiao Bai still took pictures every day to observe the totem on his heart.
What made him feel a little relieved was that since he left the bronze coffin, the area of the totem has hardly changed in the past few days. Otherwise, Xiao Bai would not dare to delay any longer. He would definitely return to the imperial capital directly and go to the hospital for careful examination.
However, traveling around Yunling with his sister these past few days was not without success.
The two of them traveled freely and visited many local villages, from which Xiao Bai also learned many legends about insect poison.
Returning to the Imperial Capital, although the expansion speed of the totem on his chest had become extremely slow in the past few days, Xiao Bai still came to the hospital as soon as possible after settling his sister.
Xiao Bai was a little disappointed with the examination results. Judging from the examination results, there was no problem with his body.
Because he was worried that the hospital would slice him up for study, Xiao Bai did not dare to show the doctor the photographic evidence of the expansion of the totem.
After using the excuse that he often eats raw food and asking the doctor to prescribe some insecticide, Xiao Bai walked out of the hospital unwillingly.
As soon as he got in the car, Xiao Bai received a call from Qin Hai.
After so many days of polishing and carving, the previous Fang She stone has now successfully transformed into a She inkstone. Let Xiao Bai go to eat and take the Fang She inkstone back.
With a kick of the accelerator, Xiao Bai arrived at his master's home again after many days.
In the study.
Xiao Bai looked at She Yan in front of him with disbelief in his eyes.
"Master, this? Is this my piece of stone?"
"This, how did this become like this?"
Looking at the stars on the inkstone in his hand, Xiao Bai couldn't believe his eyes.
"Hey, who knows."
"I can't bring you a stone that costs 18,000 yuan. That old guy can give me this inkstone worth hundreds of thousands or even a million dollars."
"You boy, you really have some good luck. I asked him when he went to get this inkstone. When he was carving, he felt that the stone was a little too thick, so he wanted to remove some of the thickness. "
"As a result, after just a few cuts, more and more Venus appeared below. The more Venus there were, the more excited he became."
"By the time he polished the stone to the right thickness, the surface of the stone was already covered with Venus."
Hearing Qin Hai's words, Xiao Bai was speechless for a while.
Can it still be like this?
Is this a kind of gambling in disguise?
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai shook his head helplessly, maybe forget it, after all, gambling on stones is not just about jade, but also Hetian jade, Shoushan stone, chicken blood stone, etc.
As long as there is profit, businesses can do anything.
