"Actually, to be precise, I can be considered a failure, but my failure is not the same as them."
The young man's expression became a little complicated. He turned his head and looked at Qin Yu, "Do you want to hear a story?"
Qin Yu did not answer because he knew that the young man did not need his answer.
"One day 90 years ago, somewhere in Guanghan City, Sichuan, a farmer and his son suddenly dug up some jade objects while working in the fields. From then on, an ancient cultural site that shocked the world was revealed.
Before the eyes of the world."
Upon hearing the young man's words, Qin Yu's eyes flickered slightly, because he knew where the young man was talking about and what the ancient cultural site was referring to.
Sanxingdui ruins!
One day in 1929, when a farmer named Yan Daocheng and his son were working on the farmland in Chuntaogou, Guanghan City, they accidentally discovered a pit of jade artifacts, including gui, bi, cong, jade rings, and stone beads.
Wait, there are more than 300 pieces in total.
This discovery shocked the whole world. It first reached the ears of the British. The British found the local garrison and college to keep these jade stones, and in 1934, formed an archaeological team to explore this land.
Excavations were carried out.
However, it is regrettable that the results of this excavation ended in vain. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the excavation work at Sanxingdui was restarted, and thousands of cultural relics were unearthed that later shocked the family.
"If I told you that I am not as young as you see, would you believe it?" The young man looked at Qin Yu with bright eyes.
"believe."
Qin Yu also looked at the young man. From this young man, he could not feel the other person's vitality. It was as if he was completely dead, so let alone not being so young, even if the young man said that he had lived hundreds of years
Even now, Qin Yu will believe it.
The young man smiled and said, "Actually, this secret has been buried in my heart for a long time. It's a good thing that I have someone to share it with now."
"As of this year, I am already 116 years old, and the reason why I am what I am now is all because of the Sanxingdui ruins."
In 1934, after the director of the West China University Museum, which was run by an American at the time, saw the jade unearthed from Sanxingdui brought by the British missionary, he decided to conduct an archaeological excavation of Sanxingdui.
However, in that war-torn era, the most valuable things were antiques, antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times.
Although the director of the West China University Museum wanted to excavate the Sanxingdui ruins, unfortunately he did not have enough manpower. In desperation, he had to find some refugees who had fled to serve as manpower for the excavation.
At that time, how many people were displaced because of the war. Let alone money, as long as they could have three meals a day, they were unwilling to do anything.
It was under those circumstances that the director of the West China University Museum recruited twenty young people, and the young man was one of the twenty young people at that time.
After gathering the people, the natural next step is to dig.
The preliminary excavation work in Sanxingdui went very smoothly. Three jade pits were excavated in a row and hundreds of jade articles were unearthed. During this period, Deng Wei discovered something strange.
Deng Wei is the young man’s name.
After digging for more than half a month, in a pit next door to where Deng Wei dug, a cauldron was dug out. This was a black cauldron, and it was over one meter high. It took ten people's effort at that time.
Just brought it up.
Of course, Deng Wei didn't see all this, because he happened to have a stomachache that day and rested. He just heard from his companions that when the cauldron was lifted out, the originally sunny sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, followed by strong winds. If it weren't for the museum Ge
The curator said on the top that each person would be rewarded with a piece of ocean if he took out the tripod. These people had already escaped.
After all, the power of money was greater than fear, so the cauldron was carried out. However, as soon as the cauldron was carried out, Director Ge was very excited. It seemed that he was looking for someone to transport the cauldron that day. Where exactly was it transported?
No one knew. In short, during those days, except for one member of the archaeological team who stayed at the site, Director Ge and his team disappeared.
It was already a month later when Director Ge and others appeared again. However, during this month, Deng Wei saw many of his companions slowly disappearing.
That’s right, it just disappears!
Deng Wei and his group had a total of more than 20 people working in shifts at the time, but within this month, 13 of them disappeared.
The explanation given by the archaeological team is that these people probably couldn't bear the hardship and ran away, or they left because they found other ways to make a fortune.
In that era when it was normal for one person to die, no one would care about the life and death of a dozen wanderers. Soon, the archaeological team recruited another group of people.
However, the disappearance of his companions made Deng Wei cautious, because he noticed that the thirteen people who disappeared had all participated in the excavation of the black tripod.
Moreover, Deng Wei remembered very clearly that the companion who slept next to him at that time was also one of the thirteen people who disappeared. One night before disappearing, he suddenly said something inexplicable to him, "Don't touch anything black."
Things, if you don’t want them to take them away.”
It was this sentence that made Deng Wei think about it. During the subsequent excavations, Deng Wei became cautious. After that, a lot of jade articles were unearthed. However, Deng Wei noticed that Director Ge and the others were concerned about
The surprise at the discovery of these jades no longer appeared at the beginning, but instead there was a look of disappointment that could not be concealed.
It seems that within a month, Director Ge and the archaeological team have changed. They no longer study jades. On the contrary, they disappear every day and only come to take a look when jades are excavated.
However, as the excavation deepened, in addition to jade articles, some black artifacts were unearthed. As soon as these black artifacts were unearthed, Curator Ge and others immediately swarmed over, with unconcealable excitement on their expressions.
Deng Wei kept in mind what his companion said not to touch black objects, so after these black utensils were unearthed, he stayed far away, and Deng Wei also noticed that the three people who unearthed the black objects
They will disappear mysteriously every day.
The discovery of this scene made Deng Wei scared, because he was afraid that he would dig up black objects, so he decided to escape. However, just the day before Deng Wei escaped, an accident happened.
Another large tomb was discovered, and it was a complete ancient tomb. The first thing they discovered was a complete tomb door. (To be continued)
