Chapter 670 Decoding

Because there are two external eyes, all kinds of things have nowhere to hide in front of the external eyes, and there is no secret.

The items in the wooden box had been buried deep in the ground for who knows how many years, so they had a cold aura unique to ancient tombs.

She didn't like that kind of smell, Le Xiaoxiao.

The little Lolita has a sharp eye, and she can tell at a glance. Yan Xing's desire to show off disappeared, and he gave Wulingshen to her first: "This is the medicinal material collected by the brothers in the team when they went out on a mission. This time there are brothers.

I found a few and brought them together as medicinal materials for you."

Then he pushed another wooden box over: "This is the cultural relic we snatched back. When we checked the past of Mr. Huang Zhichang, we found that he had interacted with a certain collector and cultural relic dealer, and we learned that he

I have sold several cultural relics.

This time Huang Zhichang was arrested. The buyer quickly changed hands because he was afraid of being implicated. The cultural relic dealer wanted to smuggle the items abroad for trading. We hunted for half a month before we successfully intercepted the items.

This looks like the words on an animal shell, and none of the brothers in our team recognize it. You are very knowledgeable, please help me and see if you can decipher it."

"Okay, let's leave it. It's not clean. I'm going to prepare some medicine to disinfect them first." Yan Chihuo didn't send the things to the cultural relic experts for research. I think it was because asking the cultural relic experts to study them would take time. He wanted to do it quickly.

quick decision.

"Okay." The little Loli didn't reply, so Yan Xing quickly closed the lid of the wooden box.

To study something, Mr. Le Xiao temporarily put the drawings away on the low table, went to the kitchen to get a small basin, and then looked for medicinal materials in the box in the shelf of the medicine cabinet or in the high cabinet where medicinal materials were collected.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, I found more than a dozen kinds of medicines, then took them to the kitchen, set up a stove, and placed an earthen pot to cook the medicine soup.

When burning yak dung in the stove, you need to keep the fire burning. After about half an hour, the medicinal soup in the earthen pot boils.

The little Loli waited for another ten minutes, then removed the earthenware pot, added smokeless charcoal to the stove, placed another large earthenware pot, threw a fish head and medicinal materials into the pot, and cooked fish head soup.

After waiting for a while, the little Loli took a stainless steel basin, poured the prepared medicinal soup into the steel basin, and added a pinch of plant ash and two bowls of cold water.

After preparing the potion, he took it to the restaurant, threw the animal shell pieces and silk cloth into the basin and soaked them, then found gloves and put them on to protect his hands, and then gently rubbed the silk cloth.

The medicinal soup was originally red, but after rubbing the silk for a while, the water became darker and darker.

The little girl didn't care whether the water had changed color or not. She gently rubbed the silk until it stopped losing color, and then used a soft-bristled brush to brush the shell and nail plates.

I brushed each shell piece once, took the water to the bathroom and flushed it into the sewer, then mixed the medicinal soup with cold water and washed it twice, and the cleaning work was completed.

Wipe the shell pieces and silk clean, and spread them out.

The silk remains less than half the width of a palm, and the surrounding area has been corroded to pieces. The surface of the silk is clean, and there is only a little embroidery in one place.

Le Yun studied the silk repeatedly against the light for a while before saying the result: "This silk has been contaminated with human sweat. It is either the remnants of a handkerchief or the remnants of underwear. There are too few traces of embroidery to be sure.

Whether it was embroidered with decorations or characters, it can be dated to the middle and late Three Kingdoms period."

"From the Three Kingdoms era?" Yan Xing opened his eyes wide. The capital of Province E belonged to the Chu State during the Warring States Period, and most of the area during the Three Kingdoms era belonged to Soochow. He just didn't know if it was a pure Soochow antique.

Le Yun nodded, studied the shell armor again, played with it for a while, and then arranged it into a pattern.

The shell is a tortoise shell, with a total of six pieces, five large and one small. Only two pieces are connected, and the other tortoise shell pieces are not connected shell pieces.

There are three bamboo slips, one is more than three inches long, and the other two are only between one and two inches.

There are two characters engraved on the long bamboo slip. On the one-inch-long bamboo strip, only a few corners of the character remain, and on the other piece, only the lower half of a certain character remains.

Four of the six pieces of tortoise shell have complete characters, while the characters on the other two pieces only have part of the corners remaining. The characters are somewhere between pictographic characters and seal script.

After fiddling with it for a while, Le Yun took out a pen and paper, copied the words, looked at them again and again, sweating: "If I guess correctly, this bamboo slip is from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the tortoise shell is from the mid-Shang Dynasty.

Both are not native to Province E, but come from the Wu Gorge area of ​​Chongqing Province. It’s hard to say where the tortoise shell comes from, as this kind of tortoise can be found all over the country. The bamboo has the characteristics of the native territory of the Wu Gorge area.

These pieces of tortoise shells are sacred objects used by the ancient shamans in the Bashu area for divination and blessing, so they are either the burial objects of a high priest of the witch clan or the burial objects of a certain leader."

The little Loli studied it for a while and got an idea. Yan Xing's eyes were filled with mosquito repellent and he swallowed: "Little Loli, what are those words?"

"The four complete characters are the characters for God, Earth, River and Thunder respectively. The other two characters are only the remaining corners, so it is difficult to make a conclusion.

The word "Houde" is written on the long bamboo slip. The radical of the half-character bamboo slip can be determined to be wooden, but the upper half cannot be guessed. The other bamboo slip only has incomplete strokes, so it is impossible to guess.

"

The little Loli deciphered a few words. Yan Xing stretched his neck and leaned over, took a look, with a look of doubt on life: "Is this God, Earth, River, Thunder? I can't tell at all, okay? Let me guess."

I can't even think of it in my head.

Little Lolita, is this the word "神"? Is this the word "river"? Is this the word "地"?

Yan Zhihuo pointed at the tortoise shell and put the words in the correct position. Le Yun silently looked at the sky: "You have perfectly avoided all the correct answers."

"Not a single one of them is correct?" Yan Xing opened his eyes wide in disbelief. How could it be possible? Just four words, and he didn't get any of them right?

"Well, so you perfectly avoided the correct answer. You said the word for "地" is the word for "神", the word for "river" is the word for "神", and the one that you thought was the word for "地" is the word for "雷".

"The word "神" and the word "river" are wrong, so I accept it, but the word "thunder" is also wrong with the word "地", so I don't accept it. These two words are incompatible with each other, okay?"

Yan Xing wanted to smash the tortoise shell.

"But it's just like that." Yan Zhihuo showed an expression of doubt about life, and Le Yun pursed her lips and snickered: "It is said that this is something used by the ancestors of the Wu Gorge area, Wu Zhu. Those ancient Shu people have

The beliefs passed down from our distant ancestors are very strange.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The word "地" that you think is "Tu" is actually lightning. This is the worship of the power of thunder and lightning by the ancestors of some places in Bashu.

"

Don't ask her how she knew.

When I asked, she had seen the kind of pictographic and seal-like characters in Dongchen Continent. There was a tribe in the southwest of Dongchen Continent that used that kind of ancient and magical characters. Going back to the origin, it was also a talisman font.

One of the ancestors.

"That's lightning? Where does it look like lightning?" Yan Xing stared at a certain word over and over masochistically, really doubting his life.

"You don't look like lightning. The ancestors somewhere in Bashu thought it looked like it. To be more detailed, it looks like a tree struck by lightning. This one represents lightning, and the other side represents rain and clouds. It's all there.

The characteristic of the rain god, cloud god and lightning god is thunder.”

Le Yun explained, smiling and rolling her eyes: "From these words, it is inferred that either a sacrifice is held every spring to pray for the gods of heaven, earth, thunder and other gods to bless the weather, or there is a heavy rain and a big flood, the sacrifice is prayed for rain.

Stop water and recede.

Also, if a certain important person dies, please ask the gods of heaven and earth to protect him, the god of thunder not to avoid him, the god of river not to stop him from crossing the river, the god of earth to take his body, and pray to the gods of heaven to take his soul to heaven."

"I..." Yan Xing stared at the words for another ten seconds, then gave up as if frustrated: "Forget it, the beliefs of our ancestors are so magical that I can't understand them. After all, the generation gap has changed after hundreds or thousands of years.

Too big."

"It's not a matter of generation gap, but if you read less, if you read more and study history and culture more, maybe there will be no generation gap, and maybe you will become a spokesperson."

"You're beating the bush again and saying I'm stupid." If you're stupid, you should study more. That's what little Lolita probably means.

"No, this time you misunderstood. This time I advise you to study more history and culture when you have time. In this way, you will find a lot of interesting things. For example, these can be used as a basis for studying the life and culture of the ancestors in Wuxia area. Maybe

You can also discover a lot of life customs and culture that you didn’t know before.”

"Everyone should make the best use of their talents, and it is better to leave it to the geniuses who study history to study." He is a big-time soldier, and it is enough to know history. Forget about studying it, he is more suitable to study modern tactics and the escape routes of criminals.

"If you don't study those things, you can take these back now and study how to add another crime to Huang Lao Zamao."

Bamboo slips from the Spring and Autumn Period and tortoise shells from the mid-Shang Dynasty are precious cultural relics for studying the cultural customs of that era. Bamboo slips in particular are generally difficult to preserve and are even more precious.

Huang Laozamao and others secretly embezzled cultural relics and profited from them by selling cultural relics. His gang did not take the initiative to explain in court. He probably thought that he was unaware of it.

Classmate Le Xiao also admired Yan Chihuo and his team. The evidence she obtained did not record that the old bastard had embezzled tortoise shells and bamboo slips.

The bribes collected by the old man included antiques, jade, porcelain, imported products from overseas, high-end luxury jewelry, and a few pieces of bronze.

Those things were secretly resold by him and his son, thus making huge profits.

Yan Shuaiguo and his brothers caught another piece of evidence of Lao Zamao's crime, which must be added during the second trial to add another layer of shame to him.

"It is the job of the public prosecutor to add charges to the old bastard. I will not take their job. I will only provide them with evidence and witnesses.

Besides, I heard that those worms and scum have appealed against the decision. There is still some time before the second trial, so I have to give myself a rest first and not exhaust my body."

The little Loli wants him to get out again. Yan Xing is not doing well. How can he stay and occupy the territory?

"Oh, you also know that you need to take a rest. If you don't take a rest in your army, why did you come to the paradise just after you came back?"

"Please identify what this is."

"Now that I've recognized you, why are you chattering away in the corner instead of just sitting in the corner?"

"Hey!" Little Loli was kind enough to let him catch up on his sleep on the spot. Yan Xing's mood was aroused. He picked up a chair and ran to the north of the central hall to set up a chair next to the partition wall. He sat on it and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Mr. Yan fell asleep, and Mr. Le continued to ponder the tortoise shell.
