Suddenly Gu Zhenting's eyes were attracted by a message. The message recorded "Jia Shen, Wang Zhao...Bu Fa, fierce." Gu Zhenting was shocked and quickly looked through the record card and found this piece of information.
The oracle bones came from Tomb No. 4. With just a few words, Gu Zhenting could already tell one thing: On day C, King Shang summoned this man and asked him to divine the conquest, but the diviner was
Bad. This shows that this person's identity should belong to a clergy at that time. At that time, these three officials were in charge of divination, sacrifices, recorded history, divination, and prayers to ghosts and gods. These three officials were very important in society.
His status was very high and he could often influence the decisions of Shang kings.
Gu Zhenting quickly recorded this important piece of information. Gu Zhenting was confused: Could it be that the owner of the No. 4 tomb was a former diviner? If so, what about the people in the other tombs?
Who could it be? With this doubt, Gu Zhenting continued to look through the translated oracle bone inscriptions. He carefully discovered that there were two connected characters recorded on several oracle bones, but he did not know
What does this mean? Because these two characters have never been found before, and the characters that appear with them are basically the first time Gu Zhenting has seen it. Even if he has seen it before, it has not yet been seen.
The deciphered text. Gu Zhenting couldn't help but trace the mysterious ancient characters and drew a circle on the front page of his notebook. It took him a whole day, and Gu Zhenting finally finished reading the more than 600 pieces.
The thousands of characters on the oracle bones also completely recorded the sentences that he considered important:
"Jiashen, Wang Zhao...Bu expedition, fierce." (Pit No. 4) "Jiashen, Zhao, good to attack Ba and Shu, the king followed." (Pit No. 2) "Three years later, he returned and captured Ba.
Rong, divination, fierce, the king is angry." (Pit No. 2) "The king returns to Geng, auspicious" (Pit No. 4) "... collapse, divination, fierce, the king sacrifices to the sun and moon..., bandits Zhen." (
Pit No. 5)…
There were a total of more than ten pieces of information that made Gu Zhenting feel like he had found a treasure. This roughly allowed Gu Zhenting to determine the true age of these ancient tombs. Of course Gu Zhenting knew that the earliest recorded female general in ancient China was the Shang King Wu Ding.
Wife and wife are good. And the tomb of Fuhao was excavated by archaeologists decades ago, and it contains a large number of written records about the Shang Dynasty. Gu Zhenting can almost determine that the records of the oracle bones unearthed in Pit No. 2 are
"Good" means that a woman is good. She led the army to attack Ba. Wu Ding led the army to reinforce her. After conquering Ba, he then attacked Shu. From the oracle bone inscriptions in the tombs of several other people, it was found that during this expedition,
It seems to be the result of Wu Ding's insistence on going his own way, because the result of the divination was unlucky. It is difficult to imagine that in an era where theocracy was pervasive, for what purpose the ruler launched a foreign war when the gods did not allow it. The result lasted for three years.
Years later, Wu Ding, who returned victorious, still got "unfortunate" results from the divination in sacrifice to the gods. And the news of Fu Hao's death was vaguely mentioned in Tomb No. 4. According to the oracle bone records, after Fu Hao's death, Wu Ding once
The woman's soul was betrothed to her ancestors, who asked them to take care of her in the underworld. Pit No. 5 mentioned that there seemed to be something bad going on. After Wu Ding worshiped the sun and the moon, he still got bad results.
After reading all this, Gu Zhenting completed his own inference. Based on other things unearthed from each tomb, he speculated that the six most powerful officials from the Wu Ding period were buried in these six tombs.
Among them, Shi, Bu, Zhu and others must be among them, because they had the most conversations with Wang about their identities. In addition, Gu Zhenting believed that there must be more than one person who was a military attaché.
But what can all this mean?
Gu Zhenting listed several complicated things:
Ancient book - Weeping Blood Spring - Biluo Ganoderma - Exquisite Box = Feng Shui Fragment - Blood Pond - Corpse Blood - White Jade -?
Ancient tombs of the Yin and Shang Dynasties - Bronze ware at Sanxingdui in Bashu (civilizational differences) - Tianshu Demon Feng Shui Bureau (Feng Shui and the Warring States Period began to mature) - Tai Chi Diagram (no earlier than the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period) - Undecipherable oracle bone writing - The identities of the six tomb owners
(?)—?
Gu Zhenting stared blankly at the last question mark. What was hidden behind it? Gu Zhenting seemed to have some clues in his heart. As long as he broke through, all the problems could be solved, but he just couldn't catch it.
A little inspiration.
"Professor, your phone number." Wu Haode broke into Gu Zhenting's tent in a hurry. If it wasn't an extremely urgent matter, Wu Haode would not lose his composure like this. Gu Zhenting has known Wu Haode for several years, and there was only one blood pool incident.
This situation.
Gu Zhenting frowned slightly. He didn't like to be disturbed when he was thinking about problems. Wu Haode naturally knew this temper of his.
"Hello, this is Gu Zhenting." Gu Zhenting took the call. Looking at Wu Haode's expression, he knew that there must be a reason for the incident.
"Zhen Ting, this is Xie Haidong!" A hurried voice came from over there. Gu Zhenting was startled, Xie Haidong is the direct person in charge of W Bureau, why is he calling here at this time? "You have the hands on your hands for the time being.
I'll take a break from my work and come back to help deal with a difficult matter." There are so many talented people in Bureau W. What on earth made Xie Haidong call him back like this? I have known Xie Haidong for many years, and I have never seen him act like this.
Anxious. Gu Zhenting's heart skipped a beat.
"Director, what happened?" Gu Zhenting asked hurriedly. Gu Zhenting knew that he had no other specialties except archeology.
"Something happened to the second team." Xie Haidong said gloomily: "There are 27 people in the second team, only two of them came back alive, and they seemed to have been greatly traumatized mentally. They were all unconscious. The team leader Xu Menghai is now alive and dead, and there is no body...
…”
"What?!" Gu Zhenting almost dropped the phone in his hand. Bureau W has three archaeological teams. Gu Zhenting is the leader of the first team. The three teams are responsible for archaeological activities at different historical stages. The first team is responsible for
Before the Qin Dynasty, the second team was responsible for the period from the Qin Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, while the third team was responsible for the research after the Tang Dynasty. The leaders of the three expedition teams, Gu Zhenting, Xu Menghai, and Zhou Dingxuan, had a very good relationship with each other and often discussed things together.
Their respective investigation results and experiences. Before Gu Zhenting set out for archaeology, Xu Menghai had already led a team to the desert. It was said that he was looking for some historical relics of the Han Dynasty on the Silk Road. In addition to seven experienced archaeologists, the team members also had a
guides and desert survival experts, as well as eighteen A-guards armed to the teeth.
However, except for one A guard and the desert survival expert who were still alive, the others were either missing or their bodies had been found. This event dealt a huge blow to Bureau W.
"We found some weird things on their relics. Zhou Dingxuan from the third team is already on his way back. The special plane to pick you up has already flown to you!"
"Okay, I'll get ready right away." Gu Zhenting said. What's going on, Xu Menghai, what happened to you? Gu Zhenting was anxious for a moment.
