Chapter 110 Is the Skull Pendant a Modern Artifact?
After everyone gathered together, Wang Zhiqing told everyone the whole story. The reason why their archaeological team came to Pazhang Village for archaeological excavation was because the Provincial Public Security Department busted a tomb robbery gang.
According to the investigation, more than a month ago, this tomb robbery gang, led by the eldest brother, a total of nine people, including handymen, passed through Palm Village and entered the mountains.
"Big Brother" is the name given to the leader of tomb robbers in the tomb robbery circle. In the tomb robbery gang, "Big Brother" is not an ordinary figure, just like in the underworld. He is not someone who can be someone who wants to be someone who has money. There is no pair of "Big Brother"
"Looking into the Earth" is impossible without the special skills of searching for ancient tombs.
Therefore, the leader of the tomb robbery gang is called "Zhangyan" in the circle, which means the same as the "shopkeeper" of the hotel business in the past.
The internal division of labor in the tomb robbing gang is strict, the levels are clearly defined, and there are many rules. If you do not abide by the rules or violate the rules, you will be severely punished, and even "expelled from the party". The organization also recognizes "seniority", and the sooner or later the time of joining the gang is used as the classification.
Standard. Then, based on the size of the ability and the depth of expertise, different "types of work" are determined, "watching the wind", "watching the air", "listening to the sound", and "looking at the soil", and each performs his or her duties.
Those who don't have the skills will work as coolies, handymen, or a three-fisted and two-legged person who doubles as a bodyguard.
Besides, the nine people entered the deep mountains. Their luck was not very good. Not long after entering the virgin forest of the deep mountains, they encountered an adult lynx. As we all know, the fur of lynx is very precious. It is also their fault for being greedy.
When I arrived at this lynx, I wanted to hunt it.
However, lynxes are inherently cunning and cautious. When in danger, they will quickly flee to a tree to hide. Sometimes they will lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead. In the end, the nine of them not only let the adult lynx die
He escaped, and two people were injured by the lynx.
The two injured people must not be able to go into the mountain. If they follow them into the mountain, they will not be able to help, but will also be a drag on others. After deciding, let two of them take the two injured people out of the mountain, temporarily.
Staying in Pazhang Village to recuperate, the remaining five people continued into the mountains to explore the treasures.
Later, these four people lived in Lao Zhao's house in Pazhang Village. They lived there for nearly a month. Unexpectedly, a month passed without any news from the eldest brother and the others. As time went by,
As they waited, they became more and more impatient, wondering whether it was their eldest brother and the others who had been killed?
Their tomb robbing gang has been established for eight or nine years, and the nine of them are almost all close relatives, either cousins or uncles and nephews. They still trust each other very much. Who knows, just when they think their eldest brother
When they were already in distress, they suddenly received news that their eldest brother had appeared in their hometown.
After hearing the news, they were stunned, and rushed back to their home location overnight. Later, they had a dispute over the uneven distribution of the stolen goods. When the Provincial Public Security Department caught them, the eldest brother had already run out of energy, and the remaining
Of these four people, two were killed, one was injured, and the other was disabled. Those who survived were arrested directly.
"Although two people were arrested, it has been confirmed that these two people are juniors. We don't know the location of their tomb robbery at all. However, among some of the things brought back by the elder brother, we have made important discoveries. These discoveries have important implications for
Some of our domestic research is of great value."
After talking about the tomb robber gang, Wang Zhiqing first emphasized the importance of this archaeological excavation. He did not mention a word about what major discovery it was or what aspects of research were valuable.
The whole room fell into silence, and only Wang Zhiqing's voice sounded: "Although the two arrested people did not know the location of the tomb robbery, they provided us with a clue. This clue was a piece of cloth. It is said that the eldest brother was based on
The location where this piece of cloth was found is only known to my eldest brother. There were some patterns painted on this piece of cloth. At first, Professor Yue and I thought these patterns were maps or something like that, but after Teacher Yan reminded us,
, we also guessed that these patterns should be an ancient writing that we had never seen before, and then we invited the teacher. In addition to this piece of cloth, there was also something that seemed to be a key. After being confirmed by the two arrested people,
They had never seen this object before the five elder brothers entered the mountain. According to our guess, this key was most likely brought by the elder brother from the ruins. Considering that we may need this object during the archaeological process,
So I brought this thing with me."
After he finished speaking, Wang Zhiqing took out a small bundle wrapped in layers of silk cloth from the work bag he was carrying. Under the attention of everyone, he untied the silk cloth bit by bit, and the silk cloth gradually untied.
After opening it, a piece of cloth made of unknown fur was revealed. This piece of cloth was only the size of a palm, and it was still torn, as if it was a small piece that had been torn off...
After Wang Zhiqing completely untied the silk cloth, he handed the piece of cloth to Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma had been impatient for a long time and took the piece of cloth anxiously. He just glanced at it and his eyes suddenly lit up.
…
The only people present were Chen Ran, Mr. Ma, and Li Hongji, who had never seen this piece of cloth before, and they were all curious. However, Li Hongji could only stare. Chen Ran was already in the presence of Mr. Ma.
The person sitting next to him turned his head and saw the pattern on the entire piece of cloth clearly.
It was filled with patterns one after another, and it really looked like a map, because some of these patterns looked like mountains, some looked like rivers, and some looked like various animals... Suddenly, Chen Ran's whole body
The movement was sudden.
At this moment, a familiar pattern suddenly came into his sight.
Skull!
Yes, this familiar pattern is exactly the same as a skull, which is similar to Chen Ran's skull pendant. The only difference is that the skull in front of him is a complete skull, while Chen Ran's skull pendant is only half.
After repeated confirmations, Chen Ran understood that his skull pendant was obviously exactly the same as this pattern.
"By the way, I almost forgot one thing. Xiaoran, do you have the skull pendant with you?" At this moment, Wang Zhiqing's voice suddenly sounded in the room that had been silent for a while. As soon as these words came out
, everyone in the room focused their attention on Wang Zhiqing, and then the focus obviously shifted to Chen Ran.
Seeing everyone like this, Wang Zhiqing explained to Professor Yue and Yan Ruyu: "One of Xiaoran's friends gave him a skull pendant for him to keep. I accidentally discovered this skull pendant and the one on the lower right corner of this piece of cloth.
The pattern seems to be the same.”
As soon as he said this, Professor Yue's face suddenly became excited and surprised and said: "Is it really the same?" After saying that, he quickly looked at Chen Ran. Everyone else also looked at Chen Ran eagerly, even
Mr. Ma, who was looking down at the pattern on the piece of cloth, also raised his head.
Under the attention of everyone, Chen Ran could only take out the skull pendant. After the skull pendant was taken out, three people burst out laughing. It was really hard for such a non-mainstream skull pendant to be taken out on such an occasion.
It makes you laugh.
The ones who laughed were Guo Xiaohong, Wang Fei and Li Hongji, two of Professor Yue's students. Professor Yue glared at them, stood up impatiently, and gathered around them. Others also gathered around Chen Ran and Mr. Ma.
Just looking at it, Professor Yue couldn't help but show excitement on his face: "That's right, exactly the same, but half of it is missing!"
"When I got it, it was only half of it..."
When Chen Ran explained, he was also guessing about the origin of the pendant. He got the pendant from Lao Chen. Lao Chen said that he bought it at a stall. This statement is definitely not true. Even if someone like Lao Chen
It is not a tomb robber, but it is related to a tomb robbing gang. If you speculate like this, the pendant may have been brought out during the tomb robbing.
His guess was quite accurate. In the early years, Lao Chen himself was a tomb robber. Later, he was caught once and spent several years in prison. When he was released, he might have wanted to change his ways.
He changed his profession to tinkering with antiques. At first he behaved well, but he had bad luck and lost money several times before he started cheating again.
Lao Chen also had a good relationship with the tomb robbery gang that was uncovered this time. At that time, the eldest brother was eager to sell the things in his hands, so he contacted some people like Lao Chen, who were from different religions, including those who organized black markets, etc., and
This pendant was given to Lao Chen by my eldest brother.
Although the skull pendant was recognized to be exactly the same as the pattern on the piece of cloth, after everyone passed it around and looked at it, no one had ever seen such a pendant. Even the material of the pendant was not recognized by anyone. Some said it was copper, and some said it was made of copper.
It was said to be solid. After everyone saw it, Professor Yue took Guo Xiaohong and Wang Fei into his room to study it.
This time for archeology, we came well prepared. We even brought some simple testing instruments with us. After about twenty minutes, the test results came out. The skull pendant was just a simple copper product...
Even judging from the test results, the age is not too old.
Professor Yue said this euphemistically, but in fact everyone could hear it. It meant that this skull pendant was simply a modern handicraft. As soon as this result came out, Chen Ran became the center of attention again. Looking at
Chen Ran also had a weird look in his eyes, like Li Hongji and Wang Fei, who both had sneers on their faces, just not sarcastic. It was so funny. What kind of trust could a friend have? Damn it, take a modern handicraft and put it in your hands.
Everyone here thinks they are fools...
The skull pendant is basically a modern handicraft. What Chen Ran said about the so-called hosting by friends has undoubtedly become the biggest joke. Especially when the skull pendant was taken out, everyone was so excited. In the end, it turned out to be a modern handicraft.
, making people feel as sick as eating flies.
Except for Yan Ruyu, Mr. Ma and others who were familiar with Chen Ran, everyone else suddenly lost their affection for Chen Ran. Even Professor Yue, who had a good temper, was a little disappointed.
"Ahem... Although the pendant is not very old, the pattern carved on this pendant is exactly the same as the image on the cloth. This means that the sculptor of the pendant must have seen this image. This is also a clue for us...
…”
Wang Zhiqing was also a little embarrassed. If Chen Ran had approached him about this matter, he would have thought that Chen Ran was lying to him or had some agenda. But in fact, he discovered the pendant first.
Wang Zhiqing said this, which reminded Professor Yue, and he quickly returned to his room to search for information on this kind of image. Since this pendant is a modern handicraft, it is obvious that this kind of image has appeared recently, which would be counterproductive
Better to find.
"I'm afraid this is just a coincidence!" Li Hongji interjected, and everyone nodded inwardly, agreeing with his guess. Only Mr. Ma and the others did not think so. If there is no image, the carvings will be exactly the same, which is completely imaginary.
Is it possible to come out...
No matter what they thought, when Chen Ran learned the result, he was greatly relieved. When Professor Yue was about to take the instrument for testing, his heart also lifted. He really
I was afraid that something would be detected, but fortunately, the result turned out to be this.
In this way, there is no doubt that only he knows the secret of the skull pendant. For him, this is the most beneficial result.
Professor Yue checked for half an hour, but could not find any results. At this time, Mr. Ma raised his head and coughed twice. Everyone suddenly became energetic, knowing that Mr. Ma's translation result came out.
