Zhuang Rui has used aura to identify objects, and he has found some rules in the past few years. The closer the age, the lower the value of the object, and the lighter the aura color it shows. Most of the items from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are
White aura.
The colors of antiques from the early mid-Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty gradually deepened, from light yellow to orange to red. Things that are extremely precious and often enshrined and played with can also appear in deep red and lavender colors.
Before the Ming Dynasty, treasures from the Three Kingdoms, Tang and Song Dynasties were often in purple. As for the bronzes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, they were mostly dark purple, and purple and gold colors also appeared. For a long time, Zhuang Rui used aura colors.
In identifying antiques, this method has lost its effect today.
Because forty meters underground, in the palace-like palace of Qin Shihuang, almost everything was purple-gold, and the rich aura filled Zhuang Rui's eyes, which was warm and comfortable, even in Potala
Zhuang Rui has never seen such abundant and pure spiritual energy in the palace or in pirate treasures.
"How many treasures did Qin Shihuang plunder with the power of a whole country..."
Since almost all the places touched by the spiritual energy are rare treasures, it is very difficult to identify the objects in the underground palace. Zhuang Rui slowly calmed down and wanted to try to identify what these objects in the underground palace were.
After all, for thousands of years, the treasures in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum have attracted many tomb robbers and archaeological experts, but no one can truly interpret the situation in the underground palace.
"This...should be a bamboo slip. It is said that Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed scholars. Could it be that he moved all the bamboo slips into the underground palace?"
Zhuang Rui felt that the spiritual energy entered an underground palace bedroom. Although he could feel the presence of purple-gold spiritual energy everywhere, Zhuang Rui found that among these spiritual energy, there seemed to be dividing lines, starting from the slender objects.
Judging from the shape, it looks very much like the bamboo slips used by ancient people in the Warring States and Qin Dynasties to record writing.
The area of this room was about thirty or forty square meters, and it was almost filled with objects similar to bamboo slips, which made Zhuang Rui can't help but think about it.
In the thirty-fourth year of Qin Shihuang's reign, Dr. Chun Yuyue, a native of Qi, opposed the "prefecture and county system" implemented at that time and demanded that children be enfeoffed according to the ancient system. Prime Minister Li Si refuted it and advocated prohibiting people from using ancient knowledge to slander the government.
.
Qin Shihuang adopted Li Si's suggestion and ordered the burning of historical records of various countries other than "Qin Ji". He also handed over and burned the private collections of "Poems" and "Books" that did not belong to the Doctor's Hall within a time limit. Anyone who dared to talk about "Poems" and "Books"
The death penalty means the annihilation of the clan in ancient times; private learning is prohibited, and those who want to learn laws must take officials as their teachers. This is called "book burning".
The next year, two sorcerers (people who practiced martial arts and alchemy) Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng secretly slandered Qin Shihuang and fled. When Qin Shihuang learned about this, he was furious and sent the censor to investigate. After the trial, four people were found guilty of violating the ban.
More than one hundred and sixty people were all trapped and killed. The tragedy caused by these two magicians was called "Burning Confucianism", and the two incidents combined into "Burning Books and Trapping Confucianism".
The reason why Qin Shihuang was dubbed a "tyrant" by subsequent dynasties was because of this incident. "Burning books and harassing Confucian scholars" has always been evidence of Qin Shihuang's cruelty and violence. He has been reviled by scholars all over the world for more than two thousand years, so much so that now
When some people think of this historical event, they still feel resentful. They wish they could dig up the grave and whip the corpse, wish they could travel through more than two thousand years of time and space to knock Qin Shihuang's bones and suck out his marrow.
It cannot be denied that this decision of Qin Shihuang caused the disappearance of many books that recorded the splendid civilization of China during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Many of the pre-Qin allusions that we now know are information obtained from the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods that were unearthed later.
But similarly, the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucianism also played an indelible and huge role in the unification of Chinese culture, and enabled the subsequent smooth promotion of the county system, creating the historical pattern of the unification of the Chinese nation. Therefore, who is right and who is wrong will be determined by future generations.
It is impossible to give an accurate conclusion, and there has always been great controversy in the academic community.
However, anyone who studies history knows one thing, that is, it can be seen from Li Si's letter that all the books of the Qin Dynasty at that time, including those that were explicitly burned, had complete backups in the palace.
However, more than 2,000 years have passed, and no one has found any trace of these books. Some historians concluded that these books were hidden in Afang Palace and were burned down by Xiang Yu in a fire. Some historians also doubt that these books, which record the contention of various schools of thought, are
Was it taken into the underground palace by Qin Shihuang?
So when Zhuang Rui felt these bamboo slip-like objects exuding spiritual energy, he couldn't help but get excited. For archaeologists, there is no treasure more valuable than written materials in archaeological excavations.
Because no matter how precious the object is, it is always just a plaything. At best, it can only illustrate the advanced and developed casting technology at that time. However, if a civilization disappears from the records, it will be difficult to restore it. Due to the incident of Qin Shihuang burning books and harassing Confucians
, before the Qin Dynasty in China, there were many mysteries lost in the long river of history.
Zhuang Rui can now almost conclude that the things he sensed were the books that were burned at that time. Zhuang Rui believes that if these bamboo slips can be unearthed, it will be a cultural feast for historians and will represent
As many lost historical truths are clarified, the importance of this discovery will definitely be no less than the sensation caused by the discovery of the skull fossils of Peking Man in the last century.
But it is a pity that Zhuang Rui can only use spiritual energy to feel these civilizations that were once thought to have disappeared. He also has no way to take them out of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang intact, because in the process of Zhuang Rui using spiritual energy to survey,
, he could feel that there was indeed a layer of mercury twenty or thirty meters underground.
This mercury did not form mountains and rivers as historical data said, but it has penetrated deep into the soil and has not evaporated for some unknown reason. It is several meters deep. No matter where you start digging, you must first touch this
layer of mercury.
Although the poison of mercury can be eliminated with current technology, no one is sure that all the objects in the underground palace can be preserved intact during the subsequent excavations, because these objects from more than 2,000 years ago will only be
Once exposed to air, it will probably turn rotten immediately.
Apart from anything else, Zhuang Rui sensed that if these ancient bamboo slips were damaged, it would definitely be a disaster. This is probably the main reason why modern archaeologists and leaders have not made up their mind to excavate the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
Resisting the urge to unearth these legendary civilizations, Zhuang Rui transferred the aura to other places with great difficulty and sensed them one by one. Just by sensing the shape of the aura alone, he could only roughly know what was in the underground palace.
In the middle, there is a huge golden coffin. The rich and almost physical spiritual energy indicates that this should be the place where the eternal emperor will live after his death.
"It seems that most of the allusions handed down since the Qin Dynasty are also fabricated..."
After sensing the golden coffin, Zhuang Rui remembered a record in "The Story of Sanfu", which said that after the death of Qin Shihuang, there was a shepherd boy who accidentally fell into Qin Shihuang's underground palace while chasing his sheep.
In order to search for the lost sheep, they burned the coffin of the First Emperor and burned it.
This legend has had a certain market in the past dynasties, but hearing it is worse than seeing it. Zhuang Rui now firmly believes that no one has entered the underground palace of Qin Shihuang in more than 2,000 years.
"Xiaozhuang, what's wrong? What are you doing here alone?"
Just as Zhuang Rui was immersed in the palace of the Eternal Emperor, which was full of rare treasures, Dr. Ren's voice came over, causing Zhuang Rui, who could hardly extricate himself, to wake up suddenly, and the spiritual energy all over the underground palace returned like mercury to the ground.
into the eyes.
Zhuang Rui smiled self-deprecatingly and said half-truth: "It's okay, Brother Ren, I was trying to see if I could communicate with Qin Shihuang, but... I was interrupted by you..."
"Well then, please ask Qin Shihuang if there is a passage to this underground palace, and let's go down and have a look..."
Dr. Ren burst out laughing when he heard this. He and Professor Meng used remote sensing and geophysical detection technology to conduct a comprehensive survey of the underground palace in 2006. The results showed that the only way to make the underground palace come into being was to use a large-scale open coffin.
This method involves removing the soil layer by layer, but this will cause damage to the unearthed cultural relics, and has been unanimously rejected by many archaeologists.
"Don't worry, Brother Ren, we will definitely have the opportunity to see the true face of Qin Shihuang's underground palace in Mount Lu in our lifetime..."
Zhuang Rui's words were just a joke in Dr. Ren's ears, but Dr. Ren did not expect that Zhuang Rui was not innocent. After seeing the vast civilization relics in the underground palace, Zhuang Rui had decided to personally excavate this place in the future.
The eternal imperial mausoleum that has attracted too many people's attention.
In fact, the excavation of the imperial tombs is not completely unsolvable from a technical point of view. There is still a way. That is to excavate first, and when approaching the underground palace, build a vacuum chamber on top of the entire excavation site. This can ensure
After connecting to the underground palace, all cultural relics will not be damaged due to air circulation.
However, this method is only suitable for Zhuang Rui, and the investment is huge. It also requires the approval of domestic experts and senior leaders. It cannot be carried out overnight, so Zhuang Rui can only keep it deep in his heart at this moment.
Dr. Ren suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhuang Rui and said: "By the way, Zhuang Rui, I just saw that little Japanese yesterday. He wandered around the imperial mausoleum and became sneaky when he saw a few of us.
