The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the dark jungle.
Yan Zishan and other six archaeologists followed Song Qing's pace and moved forward rapidly.
Huashan Mountain is not easy to walk at night, there are potholes everywhere.
Under the strong wind, there was a whining sound from the tall trees, and the silent jungle was like a ghost.
But Yan Zishan and others had no intention of stopping. Their eyes were shining and their expressions were excited, urging everyone to move forward.
About three hours later, everyone arrived at the crack on the previous mountain range.
"Is this the crack?"
Everyone looked up.
On the dark mountain, a long and narrow crack fell from the sky full of stars, splitting the huge mountain into two.
Looking up, the surroundings were overgrown with weeds, pitch black and cold, without any light, and the cracked gaps were dark, like evil ghosts that choose people to devour.
But Yan Zishan and others did not hesitate at all, and followed Song Qing in without saying a word!
This time, Song Qing and others specially brought equipment for cutting roads, such as some portable wood cutting machines.
After all, the vegetation in the valley was so lush that it was too difficult to move forward.
If you want to search quickly, you have to use various tools.
However, Song Qing didn't bring any tools that were too big. The gap was extremely narrow, and larger tools couldn't be brought in at all.
The many small tools did not bring any burden. Those who could work in the police station had more or less undergone physical training. It didn't take long for everyone to cross the crack and arrive in the valley.
Even before setting foot in the valley, a vigilant voice came from the distance!
"who?!"
"It's me! Lao Ping!" Song Qing replied hurriedly.
"Captain Song? You are finally here!" A man emerged from the shadows, it was Lao Ping. He was extremely surprised. When Song Qing and others left, he stayed at the entrance of the valley for a whole day.
"Hello!" Yan Zishan and others also greeted politely.
"Are you from the archaeological team? Hahaha! You're finally here! Come quickly! The ruins here seem to be bigger than we imagined!"
After exchanging a few words, everyone hurried to the valley.
As soon as I walked in, a warm breath hit my face.
When they were walking in the mountains outside, strong wind and cold filled the air, and the biting cold made them shiver all over.
But after entering the valley, all of this seemed to disappear.
It was as if they had entered another world in an instant. The roar of the woods in their ears disappeared, and the cold wind also disappeared.
The entire valley was extremely silent and warm.
"Oh My God"
"The vegetation here is actually still green?"
"The temperature in this valley is at least ten degrees higher than outside!"
"Is it because of the underground hot springs? I didn't believe it when I heard you say it before. This is simply a miraculous work of nature!"
Looking at everything in the valley, the six archaeologists were extremely surprised.
Not only them, but also the police officers who came with them had their eyes widened in surprise, almost unable to believe the scene in front of them.
After leading everyone to the tree where the bronze was buried, Yan Zishan and others immediately let out another burst of exclamations!
"This, is this a bronze wine cup? I remember there was one in the ancient Xianyang Museum. Half of it was rusted and it was listed as a national treasure. But this one is actually so well preserved!"
"What is this? The Great Qin Mysterious Bird Plate?! Oh my god, I remember there was an auction back then. This Great Qin Mysterious Bird Plate was auctioned for tens of millions, and it can be found here today!"
"And a three-legged wine bottle?! And a wine cup?"
"Oh my god, how come there are so many cultural relics!"
Looking at the antiques covered with rust, many archaeologists were extremely excited!
Previously, Song Qing and others, because they didn't know much about archeology, only had a general understanding of antiques and didn't know much, so they could still remain calm.
But these archaeologists are different!
They clearly know how precious these archaeological relics are!
The value of these cultural relics placed on the ground alone has exceeded hundreds of millions, and if you add those buried underground, it is impossible to estimate!
Yan Zishan and other six young archaeologists looked at each other and almost saw the enthusiasm in each other's eyes!
You know, for archaeological work of this level, where did they get their turn in the past? Once they appear, many old archaeologists will rush over with red eyes. They can only watch on the side with greed every time.
And now, is it finally their turn to excavate cultural relics of this level?
The hands of several young archaeologists were trembling with excitement! !
This is definitely the largest excavation expedition they have ever participated in in their lives!
Without any hesitation, Yan Zishan and others immediately took the tools and equipment and used professional techniques to take the lead in preserving the excavated cultural relics to avoid damage.
At the same time, many police officers also picked up their own tools and began to follow the instructions of the six archaeologists. While handling and protecting the cultural relics, they divided them into six and began to carefully move along the six directions. Cut the road!
However, this kind of road-opening work only took a few minutes of digging.
"Dr. Yan, Dr. Yan! Come and see! I found an artifact here!"
"This seems to be a wine cup like before!"
A scream in the jungle aroused everyone's attention and made Yan Zishan and others who were carefully protecting and handling cultural relics tremble!
? ? ? ?
What's happening here?
It’s only been a few minutes and you’ve already discovered something?
Although they were confused, they still ran over in a hurry. When they saw the excited expression of the police officer holding the machete in his hand, their eyes widened.
as expected.
In his palm lay a wine cup the size of a fist.
Moreover, this wine cup is quite well preserved, with only a thin layer of rust on the whole. In the cup, you can clearly see the fine and complicated lines. A bipedal black bird is carved on its side, which is lifelike. .
"Is this a wine cup?"
"Yes! And it's very well preserved! You, how did you discover it?" an archaeological team member said in surprise.
"Underfoot! When I was clearing the way, I accidentally touched it!"
Underfoot?
Hearing this, Yan Zishan's mouth twitched!
This is too simple!
When did archaeological excavation become so simple?
Professional archaeologists may never encounter a wine cup in their lifetime, but you discovered it so easily?
And just as the corners of their mouths twitched, another cry of surprise came from the distance!
"PhD!"
"PhD!"
"Come and see!"
"I also found something here!"
Everyone hurriedly ran over and found that it was something similar to a trumpet, but it was square and slender in shape. The mouth and bottom were trumpet-shaped, with fine and dense lines carved on it.
"What is this?" The police officer looked at this thing in confusion: "A speaker?"
When Yan Zishan saw this weird bronze vessel, his eyes almost popped out!
He hurriedly took it over carefully, touched it carefully, looked at it, and after a while, he swallowed!
"What a trumpet? This is a wine goblet!"
"It is a vessel used by the ancients for drinking. It first appeared in the late Shang Dynasty. In the National Museum of my country, there is a dragon-patterned wine goblet. This is what is said in "One goblet of turbid wine will make you happy, don't dream cold tonight" .And here. There is actually another one!!”
"Not one, but a pair."
After the words fell, Song Qing walked out of the jungle next to him, wearing a glove in his hand and carefully holding a bronze wine goblet.
A pair! !
Seeing these two wine glasses, Yan Zishan and other six elite archeology doctoral experts almost lost their energy and blood and passed out with excitement! !
Holding these two wine glasses, they were so trembling that they couldn't even finish their sentences!
But obviously, the archaeological excavation here is far from over!
In the following period, various cultural relics continued to appear, and various bronzes were unearthed! !
Bronze jade plate, wine cup, wine vase, wine goblet
Dozens of cultural relics were excavated one after another!
Looking at the brand-new cultural relics, Yan Zishan and others were so excited that they could hardly speak!
"Bird cup? This is a bird cup?! It can be found here! Oh my god! In ancient times, this was a wine cup that only princes could use! There is a bird cup in the middle of the Magic City Museum, which is the treasure of the museum. ! And here, there are actually three of them!"
"Is this a goblet? It's definitely a goblet! It looks like a dignified but small one, or it may have a cover!"
"There is a record in "Book of Rites: Ritual Vessels" that the venerable ones raised their goblets, while the humble ones raised their horns. In the Shang Dynasty, the goblets were small bottles, mostly with a lid, a round belly, an extravagant mouth, and a ring foot. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, they were in the shape of a square column. Of the goblins, this one has a long body and a goblet-like shape. It’s obviously evolved from the goblet of the Spring and Autumn Period!”
Holding the small bronze cultural relics in their hands, the six archaeologists had bright eyes and trembling hands and feet!
I originally thought that it would be great to find twenty or thirty pieces during this archaeological excavation, but I didn’t expect that there would be so many discoveries! !
However, the subsequent excavations shocked them even more!
Because as the search deepens and as they gradually advance in the jungle, more cultural relics come out!
In addition to cups, wine bottles, bronze plates, bronze basins and other utensils, they also found some broken stone pillars and tiles in many places!
There are also a huge number of stone desks!
These desks are buried under the earth. I don’t know how many years have passed, but they still carry a heavy atmosphere, with beautiful and exquisite lines carved on them, exuding the charm of ancient times!
Near these desks, there are occasionally some bronze Yi pieces scattered.
This is a medium-sized wine vessel that first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is mostly square, flat-bottomed, covered, and extremely exquisite!
Throughout the ages, the number of archaeological discoveries has been very small, but just here, a full six have been discovered!
Not only that, people also found several chimes in many places and some decorative bronze bracelets used by ancient palace dancers!
And when they arrived near a lake, they discovered an ancient cauldron that was nearly half a man tall!
"Oh My God!"
This ancient cauldron is carved with nine dragon heads, ten black birds, flying and circling, with four legs and two ears. It is carved with winding and twisted Taotie patterns. It appears in front of everyone with a heavy atmosphere of time. Everyone was dumbfounded!
Yan Zishan slapped himself directly, and his burning cheeks told him that this was not a dream.
"Ten Birds of Nine Dragons."
"There is such a thing here?"
In the warm jungle, everything is silent.
Looking at the unearthed treasures, everyone felt dizzy. Even Song Qing, who was the first to discover all this, was feeling numb at the moment!
There was already a slight light in the sky, and a ray of early morning sunlight fell from the ancient world and fell on the ancient cauldron.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have traveled through the torrent of history and time, and went upstream. They saw the magnificent halls and palaces, and saw countless people standing on the Taihua, raising their glasses and singing loudly. The cheers of free drinking are like landslides and tsunamis!
"My king!"
"Long live!"
The loud shouts, like a rolling torrent, made everyone tremble with fear!
Shivering violently, Yan Zishan came back to his senses from the haze, looked around subconsciously, and found that there was no shouting at all.
Looking at the many treasures unearthed around me, I felt dizzy!
What's happening here?
How come there are so many cultural relics?
Recalling the hazy scene from before, was there ever a grand banquet held here?
Judging from these archaeological excavations, they should belong to the Qin State. Judging from the specifications, it is still a feast for the king of the Qin State!
But no matter how he recalled or guessed, he just couldn't remember when Qin had such a grand banquet on Mount Huashan!
"What's going on? Was there really such a huge banquet in the Qin Dynasty?"
"Judging from this scale, this banquet is definitely not small. Just excavating such a small area has already led to so many cultural relics, not to mention those cultural relics that have been corroded in history!"
"Don't worry about whether there is a party or not, hurry up and keep digging!!"
"There may be other traces in this valley!"
"From these traces, there may be discoveries!"
In the warm valley, six archaeologists and many police officers nodded in unison, looking excited.
They were so excited that they waved the tools in their hands and tried their best to search for the many cultural relics in the valley.
And while they were here clearing the dense vegetation in the valley and working hard to search for many cultural relics.
Little did he know that there was another figure in the valley not far away, also in an unimaginable shock.
The weasel never imagined that the destination he had been searching for for dozens of days would be right under his nose.
"Kakaka"
Standing on the treetops, looking at the densely packed five-color light spots in the valley, the weasel was so excited that he almost burst into tears!
Dozens of days have passed since arriving in Huashan!
During this period of time, it has been searching for relics from ancient times day and night!
The purpose is to borrow a bit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from it to practice cultivation, improve Taoism, and one day be reborn!
In order to find this relic, it almost exhausted all its methods!
But whether it's sensing or asking for a seal, the effect is very little. I can only feel its existence, but I can't find it at all!
It has even searched over 90% of the entire Huashan Mountain!
But even so, there is still no discovery!
"I didn't expect that the final destination would be here!"
Looking at the dense aura of heaven and earth and the five-colored light spots around him, the weasel was trembling with excitement.
Is this what human beings say about finding nowhere even after wearing iron shoes, and finding it without any effort at all?
To be honest, when we came with the expedition team last night, Weasel just had the attitude of giving it a try and didn't expect the humans to find anything.
After all, even if it can't study anything, what can these people without any sensing ability know?
Especially when the weasel saw these people walking all the way towards this mountain range, it sighed helplessly!
Because of this mountain range, it has searched several times!
Although I didn't go to the bottom of the mountain to search, from a height, there was nothing unusual at all!
But what the weasel didn't expect was that such a valley that looked normal and without any fluctuations from a distance was actually the final destination!
There is so much hidden aura of heaven and earth!
"Kakaka"
"Could this place also come from the relics of the First Emperor?"
Silently muttering, the weasel sat cross-legged on the treetop, feeling the extremely abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, his two golden pupils shining.
After a short observation, it quickly discovered the reason why it could not find this place.
This valley is very unique, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and seems to be shrouded in a mysterious force.
When you look at it from the outside, you can't see any clues, but when you get closer and walk through the crack, it seems like you have entered a new world!
Every inch of the surrounding space is filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
The reason why there are so many auras of heaven and earth seems to be because it is wrapped in that mysterious power and cannot leave this area. It has been accumulated and condensed over thousands of years!
It is precisely because of this vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth that caused the abnormality in this valley!
Those humans don't know, but the weasels clearly know that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nourishes all things!
The reason why the temperature here is higher than outside and the reason why the plants grow lushly is all because of the aura of heaven and earth!
Feeling the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the weasel suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly moved towards the jungle.
Because it sensed that in this valley, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth overflowed from that place!
"Kakaka"
"In other words, where is the place with the strongest spiritual energy and the best place for cultivation!"
"Kakaka!"
Dense vegetation is a huge obstacle to many people, but it is nothing to a weasel.
Its small body allows it to move forward where the plants are thickest, and its tough fur and body allow it to completely ignore the surrounding branches.
In just two minutes, the weasel arrived at the center of the jungle.
After arriving here, it discovered that the aura of heaven and earth here was almost extremely rich, and the densely packed five-color light spots seemed to be squeezed together, almost condensing into substance!
But here is an open space, and everything emerges from the ground.
"Kakaka"
"so much?"
See it all.
The weasel was suddenly a little surprised.
Although it had seen the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before, and had seen five-colored light spots, it had never seen such a strong place.
The rich five-color light spots rushed into its body without even using its skills to deliberately absorb them!
Moreover, the trees around here are obviously several times taller than those in other places. Their branches and leaves are spread out, which can really be said to block out the sky and the sun. It is obviously because of the aura of heaven and earth.
"What exactly is here?"
Looking at the empty ground, a faint light flowed around the weasel's body, and its golden eyes shone with curiosity.
As he followed in, the weasel also saw the digging process outside.
There is also a little bit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth attached to the many bronze vessels that were excavated, but not much.
What makes the weasel most curious is the thing in the center that is filled with the aura of heaven and earth!
The first ruins we encountered were huge furnaces, and ancient elixirs emitted aura;
The second ruins are on the Qilian Mountains, where six volumes of ancient cultivation methods were excavated;
And before these two, there is the Ding Qin Sword. Even after thousands of years have passed, it still exudes a soul-stirring cold light!
"Kakakaka!!"
"Then what exactly is inside this fourth ruins?"
Feeling excited and apprehensive, the weasel took no offense.
"Senior is on top."
"The junior did not dig up the remains of the seniors intentionally, just to practice Taoism."
"This kindness and love will never be forgotten."
After bowing respectfully to the open space a few times, the weasel lay on the ground and muttered some respectful words.
After some respectful operations, it saw that there was no movement around, and then it cautiously got up and stepped forward to start digging.
After practicing several times, the weasel's claws were already very sharp, and it didn't take long before it dug a big hole in the ground.
During the digging process, the weasel did not dare to neglect.
Although he is fast, he is extremely careful when moving, for fear of breaking things in the ruins and causing any disrespect to this place.
After digging a few times, he stopped to kowtow a few times, and respectfully recited a few words in all directions. This great kindness will never be forgotten.
Half an hour later, the weasel unearthed a huge rock here.
This rock is densely carved with many lines, which are hard to understand, but they give it a vague feeling of grandeur.
"It seems... an altar?"
The weasel recalled the one in the cave in the Qilian Mountains before, and then looked at the one in its paws.
The two are almost exactly the same as this one, but the scale of the one under the Qilian Mountain cave is much smaller than here.
"An altar!"
The weasel has bright eyes. Generally speaking, if there is an altar, it means there may be something underneath!
"Thank you, senior, for the gift."
The weasel clasped its paws together and muttered, then continued to squat down and dig carefully.
finally.
About an hour later, it finally unearthed a huge piece of jade underneath!
I don’t know what kind of material this jade is made of. It is extremely thick. I don’t know if it is an illusion. I always feel that this jade is emitting a pale golden light. The weasel grabbed it and tried to pull it out, but it did not move at all.
The vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth spread on this huge piece of jade, and the weasel just took a breath and made it feel comfortable all over.
"Is this the treasure here?"
Looking at the huge jade, the weasel's little heart skipped a beat, and it continued digging cautiously.
Finally, after about half an hour, it excavated most of the stone tablet.
Carefully approaching it, Weasel discovered that there were actually a lot of words densely carved on this stone tablet!
It lay on it, wanting to see what these were, but in the end, it had no choice but to
because
It doesn't recognize any of these characters.
This seems to be a type of writing named Xiaozhuan.
It was written in the same words as those in the Qilian Mountain cultivation method. Although Weasel now knows the modern words, he still knows nothing about the ancient words.
After trying hard to distinguish for a long time, there was still no gain. The weasel bared its teeth and opened its mouth, feeling a little anxious.
"Kakaka"
However, its half-day search here was not without any results. At the very least, the weasel discovered that the word "Qin" was written on this stone tablet.
Weasel can still barely recognize this word.
"No matter what, dig it out first!"
Thinking silently, the weasel quickly pawed, trying to dig out the stone tablet and take it away.
In the eyes of the weasel, there is no concept of cultural relics. In its original thoughts, it is mine.
I won’t snatch what you took away earlier.
But this one underground, can’t it also belong to you?
However, when the weasel carefully dug to the end, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Because he found that after he put his paw down, the spiritual energy of the world around him suddenly became chaotic, making him feel uncomfortable all over!
Immediately afterwards, it saw a dark red line suddenly appear on the altar under the stone monument! ! !
These dark red lines are like patches, stuck on the altar. They are stained with soil, carrying the breath of time, and are a kind of dark red light.
Just by taking a glance, the weasel seemed to have seen a mountain of corpses and a valley of blood!
At this moment, it seemed to have crossed the river of endless years, and countless screams and begging for mercy rang in its ears!
An evil and ominous aura spread and fell directly on the weasel, causing it to scream suddenly!
Then he covered his eyes and retreated quickly!
"Kakakaka!!!"
"How is this going?"
"Blood?!"
"Why is there dried blood here!"
His brain was buzzing, the weasel's eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke in horror.
The golden pupils were dyed red, and the terrifying blood evil aura spread, making the weasel tremble all over!
It lay on the ground, wanting to leave here and find other places to heal its wounds, but it only wandered a few times before falling with a clang in the jungle not far away, and passed out easily.
The ancient blood appeared on the ancient altar under the stone tablet, and the terrifying blood-evil aura caused the weasel to fall into a brief coma.
At this time, Yan Zishan and others outside also encountered a small trouble.
The golden sun shines down.
There are a lot of treasures scattered on the empty ground.
One after another, precious cultural relics, things that were rarely seen in the past, all appeared here.
Seeing all this, almost everyone was a little stunned. Even Song Qing, who was the first to discover all this, was dumbfounded.
There are so many cultural relics here!
Almost everywhere!
Under every tree, there are various cultural relics!
Basically, you can find one with just a shovel!
At first, when they excavated some broken cultural relics, they felt a little distressed and felt that it was a big loss. Such precious cultural relics were incomplete.
But later on, they won't care.
Because I'm already numb.
Hundreds of cultural relics have been placed on the ground. This is not because Yan Zishan and others do not want to take good care of them, but because all the professional potions and equipment they brought have been used up!
In order to prevent the cultural relics from being damaged, they placed them all here to expose them to the sun. The most taboo thing after the bronzes were unearthed was to be in a cold and humid environment.
Looking at these bronze vessels, almost everyone smiled bitterly.
In particular, the six archaeological experts including Yan Zishan were trembling, panting heavily from exhaustion, and extremely excited.
I thought it was just a large archaeological site, and it would be overwhelming to be able to excavate dozens of cultural relics, but now, in just one morning and one morning, so much has been excavated!
With these alone, a small museum exhibition can be assembled!
And behind these, there are still large tracts of jungle that have not been excavated!
For the first time, they felt that archaeological excavation was also so tiring!
Just when Yan Zishan and others were panting in the sun, panting from exhaustion, they took out compressed biscuits and water and prepared to take a few mouthfuls before continuing to work.
Suddenly someone shouted again in the distance.
"Another discovery here!"
A police officer from afar screamed and ran over. He looked excited and seemed to be holding something in his hand.
Just as Yan Zishan wanted to say where to put it first, the figure shouted!
"This cultural relic is different!"
"There are words on this piece of jade!"
Yan Zishan was stunned for a moment, then his pupils shrank, he stood up with a jump, and hurried to the policeman's side.
Actually
Are there really words? !
This is a pure white jade slip.
Over the years, too much wear and tear has occurred.
It feels warm and moist, and many of the words on it are no longer legible.
But there are still a few words that can be distinguished!
Many people around came up and watched curiously.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Zishan looked at the discernible words seriously.
However, when he saw the words clearly, he suddenly shivered! !
"In the first year of King Qin's reign, there was heavy snowfall."
"The King of Qin gathered the power of the whole country and spent five years to build the splendid Temple of Heaven on the top of Taihua, and held a grand gathering of Immortal Qin to entertain the heroes of the six countries and the heroes of the world, to confer gods and generals!"
Hearing Yan Zishan's words, almost everyone was stunned.
? ? ? ?
On the top of Taihua, banquet the heroes of the six nations and the world?
How is this going? ? ?
Could it be that during the Great Qin era, an unimaginable grand event was really held here?!
And also a banquet for six countries?
Seeing this, almost all archaeologists were confused!
You must know that in the era when Qin Wangzheng came to the throne, the relationship between Qin and the six countries was almost incompatible!
The power of the government was controlled by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, and the six countries were even more eyeing on Qin!
How is it possible to come to the banquet at this time?
Ying Zheng was probably still a child at this time. Historical records indicate that King Qin Zheng came to the throne on the 13th
What does such a big Qin Wangzheng want to do by holding such a grand banquet? What is the theme of the banquet?
Looking at the records on the jade slips, Yan Zishan and other archaeologists were all a little confused and at a loss.
Such a huge event, they had no memory of it ever being recorded in any history book!
"What exactly is this event about? Why is it held?"
"There are so many relics and cultural relics that cannot be faked."
"Why is there no record of such a grand banquet in history books?"
"I noticed the four words 'conferring gods and sending generals'. What does it mean and what event is it alluding to?"
Looking at everything recorded on this jade slip, almost all the archaeologists couldn't sit still!
An unrecorded event has emerged in the long river of history. Judging from the scale of the current excavations, this event is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented!
But what exactly is the content of this event?
The more I think about it, the more anxious I become!
After dividing half of the manpower to continue the investigation here, Yan Zishan and two other archaeological experts hurriedly ran back from Huashan to the Shaanxi District Museum and began to search for many books!
However, no matter how they searched, they could not find any records about this grand event, nor could they find any description of the contents of the grand event!
This makes them puzzled!
Why is there no record of such a grand banquet?
Could it be that they missed something?
After searching again and still finding nothing, Yan Zishan finally couldn't help it anymore and dialed the old professor's number.
"Professor, have you made any progress in the Qilian Mountains?"
"Here in Huashan, we have made some new discoveries about the Qin Dynasty."
