Going forward in time, we arrived at the time when Li Tong and Chen Ju had just walked into the wooden house.
After the two big guys in their respective fields entered the room, Li Tong glanced at Chen Ju beside him.
"Is that your student?"
Li Tong asked Chen Ju, and of course he was talking about Chen Shuwen. Li Tong and Chen Ju also heard what he said outside.
"My little nephew is learning something from me."
Chen Ju nodded generously, and then asked: "What, do you want to make decisions for your two students?"
"I didn't have this plan. I brought them out just to let them see the world."
Li Tong shook his head and said, the meaning was very simple.
Although what Chen Shuwen did was a bit petty, in the end he was using the rules. This was one of the things Li Tong wanted Jiang Qi and Gu Qingyun to see.
"My nephew is a bit petty, but his parents should correct him. I will be responsible for teaching and learning."
Chen Ju seemed to be feeling emotional, but he was also telling Li Tong whether the current small conflict between the three children would expand or who would win, and he would not interfere.
The two chatted for a few words, then dropped the topic and returned to business.
Chen Ju handed Li Tong a pair of gloves, put on a pair himself, and then carefully took out a tray from a glass cabinet.
On it was a broken tortoise shell, about the size of two babies' hands.
Judging from the style, it should be the lower left half of a complete tortoise shell.
"This is the biggest gain in Tomb No. 2. The writing on it is definitely oracle bone inscriptions. After using 3D modeling and analysis, it was found that there are a total of thirty-two complete, eight fuzzy, and thirteen incomplete oracle bone inscriptions. .”
Chen Ju introduced it like a treasure trove.
This is the benefit of a culture that has never been chronological. The hieroglyphs that come from the same origin, at least there will be no miscalculation of the number of words.
Li Tong nodded, took out a magnifying glass, and looked closely at it. While looking at it, he asked, "Have you determined the age?"
"It is an object from the early Tang Dynasty. In other words, at that time, someone had more comprehensive oracle bone records than now."
Chen Ju said softly: "If this tomb is definitely that of Li Chunfeng, the possibility is not impossible."
"Besides, no other fragments can be found, and the two tomb robbers don't have them either."
Chen Ju rubbed his glasses case in distress and said, "Either there was only one fragment when it first entered the tomb, or the tomb was disturbed many years ago."
"Currently we are leaning towards the former. After all, apart from the fresh robbery hole, there are no other excavation traces."
"But this goes against the original judgment. Who is the owner of the tortoise shell becomes another question."
Li Tong continued to look at the tortoise shells in front of him and said, "How many of them can you recognize?"
"The eight are: heaven and earth, yin and yang, and Zheng, Shu, Chen, and Jiu."
Chen Ju replied: "It is highly consistent with the content of the Book of Changes, that's why I told you at the beginning that it may be related to the Book of Changes."
"It's a big project."
Li Tong put down the magnifying glass and sighed.
The identification of dozens of oracle bone inscriptions is not a simple project.
"That's why the higher-ups invited you here."
Chen Ju smiled.
Others may not know it, but he knows very well that his old classmate devotes at least half of his energy to the study of ancient characters.
However, the highest achievement is history.
But this achievement is also considered by outsiders.
"We can't see much at the moment. Let's wait until Tomb No. 1 is also excavated and we'll see."
Li Tong himself would not let go of such an opportunity to study and identify the writings of his ancestors after thousands of years. This is one of the most satisfying things for a historian.
"It will take about three days, and there is also the main tomb chamber that does not exist."
Chen Ju said distressedly: "What do you think?"
"I sit and watch."
Li Tong curled his lips and said with no image: "I'm not an archeology major, what's the use of asking me?"
"You..."
Chen Ju shook his head helplessly and said, "Let those three children come in and take a look?"
"It's my two children."
Li Tong corrected Chen Ju's words.
Although he said that he wanted to let the children learn a lot, in the end he was just protecting the calf.
"It's just a good time to let your nephew see what it means to be able to take advantage of the rules even more unreasonably with your seniority."
Li Tong said calmly, then stood up and came to the door.
"Jiang Qi, Qingyun, come in."
Li Tong shouted to two students not far away.
Then he looked at Chen Shuwen, who was also preparing to come with him. He didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Jiang Qi looked as usual, but Gu Qingyun had a teasing smile on her lips that could not be concealed.
Chen Shuwen's face was a little stiff. Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled aside by Chen Ju who came out of the boardroom.
Watching Li Tong, teacher and student, walk into the boardroom, Chen Ju said to his nephew: "You are not a person who can simply be a scholar, but the path you want to take is not good either."
"Do you know why I don't stand up for you?"
Chen Shuwen shook his head.
"Because you didn't stand up."
After Chen Ju finished speaking, he walked towards Tomb No. 1, which was being excavated.
...
In the board room.
Li Tong said to the two students: "Read it for yourself. If you don't understand, just ask. I'll give you one hour."
"okay!"
Gu Qingyun smiled and walked towards the porcelain and tomb beasts listed aside.
She has always been interested only in antiques and relics.
As for Jiang Qi, he looked at the broken tortoise shell.
"Why, are you interested in ancient writing?"
Li Tong saw Jiang Qi staring closely at the tortoise shell, so he walked over with his hands behind his back and asked leisurely.
Jiang Qi nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream: "It's just that I haven't had close contact with oracle bones before, so I'm a little curious."
"Oracle bone inscriptions are a large category of ancient writing. Depending on the location and age, oracle bone inscriptions with the same meaning have many different glyphs."
As he spoke, Li Tong pointed to a booklet next to the tortoise shell and said, "There are all the oracle bone inscriptions whose meanings can be determined so far. You can compare them."
"OK."
Jiang Qi nodded, stepped forward and opened the booklet.
Since his back was turned to Li Tong, he did not notice that he, a student, seemed to be reading the booklet seriously, but in fact his eyes were not focused at all.
Jiang Qi held the booklet, but his eyes kept falling on the tortoise shell.
From Jiang Qi's perspective, the tortoise shell had white spots like broken ice.
The light spots are distributed irregularly, as if a mirror has been broken and some unrelated fragments are accumulated here.
And if you want to piece together the entire mirror with just these fragments, it is impossible.
The energy on the light spot gave Jiang Qi a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
This is an incomplete ancient relic that entrusts someone’s obsession!
