Chapter 349: Ancient people also liked to take drugs?
Li Miaomiao was closer and could see it more clearly than the audience, but when she saw the treasure that Wang Xiaoshan was about to clean up, she looked confused and didn't believe it.
After a while, the other two reporters and experts also came back one after another. The three of them were stunned when they saw the treasure that had been cleaned up by Wang Xiaoshan.
The three reporters looked at me and I looked at you. If they hadn't watched Wang Xiaoshan dig the treasure out of the pit with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that there was such a treasure at the bottom of the lake!
After more than ten minutes, Wang Xiaoshan finally cleared the baby out of the pit. This baby looked a little special, and everyone else at the scene was a little confused.
"Dear viewers, this is the treasure dug out of the pit this morning. This treasure is a little special!"
The treasure Wang Xiaoshan dug up this time was not ordinary, it was very special. The audience was a little confused after seeing it.
[Old Wang, where did you go to get a pot? The dark thing should be a black iron pot. Why are you preparing to cook in Yehu this afternoon!]
[I also have a basin like this at home, which is used for eating hot pot. Lao Wang, what do you mean by this, you wouldn’t tell the treasure just now that this is the basin! 】
[Old Wang, you are going to make me laugh to death. The treasure you dug out today is really special. It also proves something. In ancient times, people liked to eat hot pot. 】
[This treasure should be made of silver, but is it a pot or a basin? This treasure should have been polished and very smooth!]
[If I hadn’t seen Lao Wang take it out of the pit with my own eyes, I would have thought that Lao Wang had brought a modern pot to fool us! 】
The treasure unearthed by Wang Xiaoshan this time is about 14 centimeters high, 28 centimeters in diameter, and weighs about 1.8 kilograms.
This baby has an open mouth, a wide folded edge, and attached ears symmetrically welded along both sides. Semi-annular standing ears are riveted on the attached ears, and an arc-shaped strip protrudes from the neck below the mouth.
The outline of this baby is smooth and should have been polished. This baby is more like a modern product.
This baby has two handles, and its appearance is very similar to a hot pot pot and a rice bowl. Especially this baby is black and shiny, and it is polished very smoothly. It looks like a modern product.
If you put this baby in the kitchenware wholesale market, it can be said to be very suitable.
Because in the eyes of modern people, this is simply a hot pot. You can easily carry it to the table by holding the two handles on the side of the pot. In fact, this is a silver treasure.
This is why reporters and experts felt a little confused after reading it just now. They knew that Wang Xiaoshan had just dug the thing out of the pit, but the appearance of the baby didn't look like it was from ancient times.
"The name of this treasure is Double-ringed Silver Pot. It is a pot, but it looks like a modern basin. This treasure is 100% ancient and not a modern product."
"This pot is made of pure silver. It was buried in a pit and oxidized for a long time, so it became what it is today."
"This pot has been polished and its outline is extremely solid and silky. This treasure was considered very sophisticated for its time."
"Don't underestimate this pot. In fact, this pot has a great background and great uses!"
Although the silver pot is not very big and does not have any patterns on it, it has a lot of uses. If it is of no use, there is no need to polish it.
[Old Wang, if you hadn’t told me, I would have thought it was a modern product, but the brains of the ancients were really awesome, and they were able to create such a special baby! 】
[What can this pot be used for? Serve soup? Serve rice? Isn’t that what the pot can only do? What great background and uses can it have!]
[It should be useful, otherwise the owner of the house wouldn’t be free to make a silver pot, and even polish it specially. If it’s useless, it’s okay to make it rough! 】
[Stew meat and make soup? Is using silver nothing more than silver ions? It’s either for cooking or boiling Chinese medicine. There should be no other uses! 】
[Maybe it’s for sacrifice. Lao Wang, please don’t let us guess the answer. It’s too difficult to guess. Let’s announce the answer.]
When the audience saw this kind of treasure for the first time, most of them guessed that it was related to eating, and some guessed that it had special uses.
The three reporters looked at the pot carefully for a while and even touched it, but they didn't think of any special uses for this pot.
Experts have thought that this pot might be used for something, but they are not sure whether it is right or not, mainly because too few of these treasures have been unearthed.
"This pot is actually used for making elixirs, not for serving rice or soup. Ancient people had the habit of taking drugs."
"In ancient times, people often used various containers to make elixirs, but the most important containers were gold and silver."
In ancient times, high-ranking officials liked to invite some alchemists to use a bunch of heavy metals to refine the "Elixir of Immortality" that could eat the dead. And this pot was an important equipment for "alchemy". It can remain as bright as new for more than a thousand years. It seems that the pot is better than
People can live longer.
In fact, alchemy is a manifestation of the ancient people's yearning for immortality. It probably started from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in order to make oneself a long-lived immortal.
[I went, I really didn’t expect it was used to make elixirs. Lao Wang, go to the pit to see if there are any elixirs. If you take a few, you might be the next one to ascend. 】
[It seems that the owner of this family also wants to live forever. Looking at the current situation, he probably failed on the spot, otherwise the treasures at the bottom of the lake would have been poached long ago! 】
[The elixir of life is all made by Hu Nongren. Lao Wang even dug up the Ganoderma lucidum that the First Emperor wanted to obtain. Immortality is a false proposition. 】
[I guessed for a long time, but I didn’t expect that it was alchemy. I have so little contact with this area that I really didn’t expect it!]
[I don’t know if you can live forever. Anyway, in ancient times, there were many people who died from taking immortality pills!]
Most viewers have only seen ancient elixirs in TV series. Ancient elixirs are so hard to see now that many museums do not have such cultural relics at all.
Pills were found in some tombs, but after taking them back and testing them, we came to the conclusion that eating them would not lead to immortality but would make people die faster.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Birth, old age, illness and death are things that people cannot change. No matter whether you are poor or rich, there will always be a day. As far as current technology is concerned, you cannot live forever. Can future technology make it possible?
I no longer know.
"I don't know if there are any completed elixirs in the pit. If there are, I wouldn't dare to eat them. I might kick my legs after eating them!"
"But I found some cinnabar, stalactites, and quartz in the pit. These were used to make elixirs in ancient times."
After saying this, the three reporters ran away and all went to the pit to take pictures. They thought that Wang Xiaoshan was in a hurry to eat when he didn't fill the pit in the morning. Only now did they realize that there were other things in the pit.
The three reporters ran to the pit to take a few more photos. They didn't know which one was cinnabar and which one was quartz. Anyway, they took a photo of all the ones that didn't look like dirt.
"If you get sick, you must go to the hospital in time and don't listen to some folk remedies. Some folk remedies may be effective, but most of them are just hoaxes."
[It seems that Lao Wang dug up an alchemy room this time. The owner of this family is capable and even built a separate alchemy room. This must be because he is obsessed with alchemy! 】
[Old Wang, why didn’t you tell us in advance when you were in the pit just now, so that we would know what treasure you dug out this time!]
[Today’s treasure is good. It lets us know about ancient alchemy. Lao Wang will look for another alchemy furnace! 】
[Some time ago, there were utensils for drinking and tea every day. Today I dug out a pot. I thought Lao Wang was going to open a canteen, but I didn’t expect it to be a pharmacy!]
[Old Wang, why don’t you dig out the entire alchemy room? We have never seen the alchemy room before, so let’s open our eyes! 】
These audiences want to see everything. Some time ago they wanted to see the complete treasure room, and now they want to see the alchemy room. Wang Xiaoshan would not agree to such a request.
There are only a few treasures in a house, and the rest may be junk, which is not worth even half a dime to dig out.
"I'll take you to the pit first to see the medicines I just mentioned for making elixirs. If you don't make elixirs in private, you'll eat them to death."
"If you are interested in alchemy, you can read novels. There are many alchemy masters in novels, but there are no alchemy masters in real life."
After saying that, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to the pit. He showed everyone the powder of the medicine in the pit, as well as a few large particles that had not been ground.
There should have been a shelf for storing drugs next to this pit, otherwise there would not be any drug residues on the ground, and some powders had been mixed with the soil and were difficult to distinguish.
Wang Xiaoshan only showed the audience some things that could be distinguished by the naked eye. Those that could not be seen could only be tested in a laboratory to know the ingredients inside.
"Everyone has finished watching it. Now I will hand over the lens to the experts and let them tell you about the silver pot just dug out!"
After Wang Xiaoshan handed the lens to the expert, he took the shovel and went to dig something in the hole again. There was something less than one meter away from the hole he just dug, and he was going to dig it out.
Li Miaomiao said to Wang Xiaoshan: "Is there anything else in the pit?"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Well, there should be something down there in this direction. I'm not sure. Let's dig around first. Then go back and listen to the experts!"
When Wang Xiaoshan went to the pit with a shovel just now, three reporters saw it. Originally, they were planning to go back to listen to the experts, but now they don't want to go.
Li Miaomiao: "Okay!"
The three people looked at each other and then all went back. The treasure dug out today was for alchemy. They had not been dug out before. There is still a lot to write about.
Wang Xiaoshan had just dug for a while when three reporters ran into the pit. He looked at them with some confusion: "Why are you back again? I'll call you when I dig!"
Li Miaomiao: "It's okay. Let's put the recorder on for a while and just listen to it for a while!"
The three reporters still want to know what treasures there are in the pit. They can use a voice recorder to explain, but Wang Xiaoshan can only watch the scene when digging the pit, and there is no replay to watch.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, then stay away!"
The three people moved away from the area where Wang Xiaoshan wanted to work. It was not far away and he dug faster. Moreover, it was noon and he was digging slowly. He would be sweating again after a while.
Wang Xiaoshan spent more than half an hour digging for it, and finally reached the place shown on the map. He thought it was a big treasure, but he didn't expect it to be smaller than the pot just now.
Wang Xiaoshan took the treasures he took out directly under the awning. This time there were quite a few treasures, six in total, but they were not big, only as big as an adult male's hand.
The baby this time was easy to clean. Wang Xiaoshan cleaned it out in a while. All three reporters knew the baby this time and must have used it when they were in school.
This time Wang Xiaoshan dug out six objects that were almost the same in length as petri dishes, except that the petri dishes were made of glass and what he dug out were made of silver.
The alchemy pot has been dug out, and now a few more tools and utensils for experiments have been dug out.
When Wang Xiaoshan said it was for alchemy, some viewers still didn't believe it, thinking that the pot just now was not for alchemy. Now it's been proven that even the utensils for refining the elixir have been dug out.
The expert was still explaining. Wang Xiaoshan did not take the silverware he had just dug out. He let the expert give a lecture first, and then showed it to the audience.
Wang Xiaoshan: "There are no treasures near the pit just now. You go and listen to the experts' explanation!"
The three reporters thought that Wang Xiaoshan was going to the pit again, so they all gathered around him and did not leave. When they heard that he said he couldn't go, they all left.
After the reporter left, Wang Xiaoshan went to see the technicians repairing the vase in the pit. The technicians had already made simple repairs to the vase in the morning.
Someone is already cleaning the part of the vase that Wang Xiaoshan did not dig out from the soil before. To repair it, all sides of the entire vase must be repaired to ensure that it is not damaged before moving out.
Wang Xiaoshan looked in the pit for a while and then went back. This time Teacher Ma from the cultural relics unit brought not only the technicians but also the digging staff.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoshan does not need to be hands-on to dig the pit, and the porcelain pieces in the pit have been collected by the staff. These porcelain pieces will be spliced onto the vase when they return.
The situation in the pit is too rudimentary and only simple repairs can be made. Complex ones still need to be carried out back when Teacher Ma is not busy.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Teacher Ma, I still have some damaged porcelain that I dug out before. You can take it back and repair it this time!"
Teacher Ma: "Okay, you can tell Bureau Wei later, otherwise it won't be easy for me to take it back directly!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, no problem, I'll make a call in a minute!"
When Wang Xiaoshan came out of the trap, he first called Director Wei. Anyway, he took a vase back with him, and he took a few more with him. Anyway, they all needed to be repaired.
Director Wei said there was no problem, just ask Teacher Ma to bring it back. If there are any formalities, he would supply Wang Xiaoshan with it when he meets Wang Xiaoshan next time.
Teacher Ma only focused on repairs, but he did not have the paper handover procedures. If Wang Xiaoshan wanted to get the procedures, he would have to wait until he saw Director Wei next time.
This Wang Xiaoshan is not in a hurry. They are all broken things, and he knows how much they are worth. If it is a particularly valuable thing, then he must hand over the procedures in one hand and the treasure in the other.
