Li Yang immediately thought of this possibility and looked back at the ancient tomb he was currently in. This ancient tomb also had stone walls, but they were made of rough gray stones and were very small.
The bricks are completely different, otherwise they would not have been completely dug out so quickly.
Mr. Zhao was still lowering his head to study the small stones in his hands, while Li Yang showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
If there is really an ancient tomb below, it will definitely be much stronger than the current one. I can think of tombs covered with fake tombs. There are many ancient burial objects, and the unearthed objects are antiques. Li Yang dug out one last time
The emerald snuff bottle bought their family a school. They don't know how much such a mysterious tomb can bring them.
"never mind!"
Although Li Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, unearthed cultural relics cannot be sold casually, otherwise it will be a serious crime.
If the jade snuff bottle from last time had not been wrapped in oil paper in an iron box, I am afraid that it would not have been sold smoothly. The jade snuff bottle was well preserved so that there was no trace of coming out of the ground, but the jade snuff bottle was indeed
It's not a burial object.
Now, this is a real ancient tomb. No matter what is inside, as long as an expert takes a look, they will be able to tell that it is a tomb object. By then, if they don't have enough money, they will go to the police station first.
What's more, Li Yang is not short of money now. His brother was injured while protecting cultural relics. Li Yang and Li Cheng's personalities have always been very similar. Li Yang can also do what Li Cheng can do.
Li Yang made a decision in a short period of time. After making the decision, Li Yang felt very calm. When it comes to other people, it is unknown whether they can give up. Few people can resist such an unknown treasure.
lure.
"Isn't this just an ordinary stone, Grandpa Zhao, is there anything mysterious in it?"
Wu Xiaoli looked at the stone for several minutes and couldn't help but ask. Others, including Deng Ming, the director of the Licheng Cultural Relics Bureau, had already wanted to ask, but they were too shy to ask. Wu Xiaoli just followed them.
wish.
More than a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on Mr. Zhao. Li Yang had understood everything and stood behind with a smile.
Mr. Zhao shook his head: "This is not an ordinary stone, it is a Resentment Stone, but this Resentment Stone is too small, and the Resentment Stone has not appeared for a long, long time, so I couldn't make up my mind at first!
"
"Grandpa Zhao, what is the Stone of Resentment?" Wu Xiaoli asked with wide eyes. This was the first time she had heard the name of the Stone of Resentment.
"The Grudge-Resolving Stone is also called the Grudge-Resolving Stone. Its original intention is to resolve grievances so that the soul will be free from resentment and be able to continue to do what it did in life just like it was alive after death!"
Mr. Zhao shook his head again, stood up and looked around the ancient tomb carefully, and from time to time he would grab a handful of soil and put it in front of his nose to smell it.
"The Stone of Resentment, I remembered it. I seem to have seen a description in a book. If I remember correctly, it was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!"
Deng Ming suddenly said something. More than a dozen people stayed there and looked at Mr. Zhao in surprise. The Resentment Stone was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Doesn't that mean that this ancient tomb was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? And
The gap they previously deduced in the mid-Qianlong period was also too large.
"Yes, the Stone of Resentment is a product of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but this Stone of Resentment is not from that period. The ancient tomb is also from the mid-Qing Dynasty!"
Mr. Zhao nodded and said, he seemed to understand everyone's thoughts, so he explained it to everyone.
Mr. Zhao's words made everyone feel relieved. If a complete ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period was really destroyed like this, they would regret it and hit the wall.
"Speaking of the Resentment Stone, we have to mention burial. The bad custom of burying living people began to appear in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It was especially popular in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, the princes, ministers and noble slave owners almost always brought living people to be buried after their death!
"
Mr. Zhao said slowly, everyone's attention was focused on Mr. Zhao, and Li Yang was no exception.
“When living people are buried, some people are worried that these people’s grievances will come back to bite the owner after death, so they use a big stone to draw a charm on it to make a resentment stone and bury them together, thinking that this will dissolve their souls.
Resentment, continue to serve the master. You see, the stripes on it are actually talismans!"
Mr. Zhao handed the small stone to everyone, and as expected, they all saw faint runes on it. If Mr. Zhao hadn't reminded them, they would have regarded these runes as ordinary stone patterns and wouldn't have paid any attention to them.
"It turns out that such a small stone can be such a cruel thing!"
Wu Xiaoli said first, shaking her head and staring at the small stone in Mr. Zhao's hand, as if that stone was the culprit.
"Small stones are dead objects, how can they be cruel? The cruel thing is human beings themselves. The burial system became much more restrained after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, burials were rare. It was not until the early Ming Dynasty that this cruel system reappeared.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, a large number of concubines were buried with him, and subsequent emperors were buried alive. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that this system was abolished. However, at that time, there was no resentment stone in the burials.
The Stone of Resentment never appeared again!"
Mr. Zhao said slowly, and Li Yang couldn't help but nod along, and he joined everyone in his heart to hate this cruel system.
"Since there was no Resentment Stone after the Qin and Han dynasties, how could such a stone appear here?" Wu Xiaoli asked again. Everyone's eyes lit up, and Wu Xiaoli asked what everyone wanted to know most.
"I don't know why this miniature version of the Resentment Stone appears here. I'm afraid I can only ask the owner of this tomb!"
There was a wry smile on Mr. Zhao's face. He was also very confused about the Resentment Stone appearing in an ordinary tomb. This kind of thing had not appeared for thousands of years, but it appeared in a small tomb at this time, and it was so made.
Small, there is a hint of weirdness in everything.
"Could it be that this tomb was originally a sacrificial object, and the owner of the tomb wanted to cover up something? He was also worried that the person being buried would have trouble with the real tomb owner after his death, so he used the resentment stone?"
Li Yang, who had been silent until now, suddenly said something, and everyone was stunned. Li Yang's statement could indeed explain why the Resentment Stone appeared in such an inconspicuous single tomb.
"What the young man said makes sense. If this is the case, then the person buried in this tomb is not the real owner of the tomb. It is very likely that this is..."
Deng Ming nodded and said. At the end, he stopped talking. Basically everyone had reacted.
"The Tomb of Doubt!"
The last person to speak was Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao nodded as he spoke. Everyone else looked around. Deng Ming also followed Mr. Zhao's example and picked up a few handfuls of soil to smell it to see if he could smell anything.
"Young man, can you make the decision in this place?" Mr. Zhao suddenly asked Li Yang without looking for anything, and Li Yang nodded subconsciously.
"That's good, can we dig around here and have a look? I suspect there is another tomb here, and this ancient tomb was set up to cover up that tomb!"
Mr. Zhao looked at Li Yang with a bit of hope in his eyes. After all, things like doubtful tombs are rare. Generally, only wealthy families would set them up if they were worried about tomb robbing. However, even if a real tomb was set up, the doubtful tomb would not be placed too much.
Far away, he was the only one in history who placed seventy-two tombs everywhere like Cao Cao.
"No problem, just dig it!"
Li Yang nodded with a smile. The reason why he reminded him just now was because he wanted to dig out the tomb underneath as soon as possible and resolve the matter of the ancient tomb earlier so that their school could continue to develop normally.
As early as when Mr. Zhao talked about the power of the Resentment Stone, Li Yang had already thought that this was just a fake tomb to cover up the real tomb underneath. But Li Yang didn't expect that they would guess everything just by mentioning it.
Here we are, the expert is indeed an expert. If Li Yang didn't have special abilities, he would never have thought of so many.
The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau came with shovels, shovels and other tools. They had completely cleaned up this ancient tomb. Now these tools are all used. Under the guidance of Mr. Zhao, several people selected a place.
After stopping to dig down, Li Yang took a look and found that the place Mr. Zhao was pointing to was exactly on top of the real tomb. Li Yang was now convinced by Mr. Zhao.
"Li Yang, do you think there really is another ancient tomb, and a big one at that?"
Wu Xiaoli left Mr. Zhao and left the ancient tomb with Li Yang. The tomb was currently being excavated, making it inconvenient for them to stay in it.
"Maybe, you should ask Mr. Zhao about this, he is the expert!" Looking at Wu Xiaoli's obviously excited face, Li Yang couldn't help but smile.
"Mr. Zhao won't know about this kind of thing. I hope there is a big ancient tomb down there that has not been destroyed by tomb robbers. I will have something to show off in front of my grandpa in the future!"
Wu Xiaoli rubbed her hands and said loudly. Li Yang shook his head and smiled again. At this time, Wu Xiaoli was more like a child, not like a strong woman in the company at all. However, Wu Xiaoli like this gave people a more friendly and natural feeling. Compared with
Before, Li Yang was more willing to contact Wu Xiaoli now.
"Bricks, tomb bricks, Mr. Zhao, we have dug tomb bricks!"
An excited shout immediately attracted the attention of Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli. Deng Ming was waving his hands and shouting from below. His face turned red with excitement. A man in his fifties still looked like a child, which was shocking.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it.
"Okay, let's clean it along the tomb bricks first and see if there are any signs of being stolen!"
Mr. Zhao hurriedly walked to the tomb and said loudly. Even old experts like Mr. Zhao showed excitement at this time, which was enough to see how attractive the mysterious ancient tomb below was to them.
After digging out the tomb bricks, the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau worked even harder. People from both the County Cultural Relics Bureau and the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau were busy digging out the loose soil around the tomb bricks. Deng Ming even called the Public Security Bureau.
, although there are no migrant workers around now, but for precaution, it is better to call the people from the Public Security Bureau early. This is very likely to be a large tomb that has not been robbed.
