Anti-grave robbery: scare away Jin Xiaowei at the beginning

Chapter 474 We must have dug out Baidi fellow!

"Just ahead!"

"This! This direction!"

The wolf-eye waterproof flashlight penetrated the icy water, and at a glance, some bones appeared on the ground as expected, but none of them were human, more like animal bones.

In the middle of the fine white gravel, those bones lay there calmly. If you look closely, these bones have beasts, and some of them are ridiculously big. Some skulls are as tall as a person, and some leg bones are as big as The size of Wuling Hongguang, the body of the big bone is covered with fine and dense gaps that make the scalp tingle, and the ice water seeps in, and those bones begin to mutate into thin and weak hairs at a speed visible to the naked eye in the ice water The bone meal flowed down with the icy water and accumulated on the river bed, turning into the sea of ​​stars and sand as bright as a member of the Milky Way that I saw when I came here.

Seeing this, Pan Zi couldn't help retching, "Damn it! This is a bed of ashes!"

Wang Kaixuan said triumphantly, "Are you still interested in going down for a swim?"

"Swim a fart." Pan Zi said, "Is this swimming in the ashes? I don't have such a strong taste."

The bottom of the ice-blue clear water, everyone is floating in the water, swimming forward quickly, the more skeletons are ridiculously big, even the skeletons are tens of meters high, everyone has to shuttle through the gaps of the skeletons, and everyone passes through the skeletons The gaps of the huge bones, the flashlight shines through the gaps of those huge bones, which makes everyone have a weird feeling of visiting a museum of natural giants.

"Third Uncle." Gongsun Baima followed Wu Sanxing, "These things don't look like what we should have in this era!"

Wu Sansheng looked at the huge skeleton below, "When the Siberian glaciers were developed, even a complete frozen mammoth was unearthed. The Great Xianbei Mountain is so high above sea level and covered with ice and snow all the year round. It's ice, and it's normal to have the bones of these big guys, let the people behind speed up!"

"Follow up!"

"hurry up!"

The further they went, the fewer the huge bones piled up, and some human sacrifices began to appear.

These sacrificial objects were dilapidated, mostly pottery scraps and tool fragments. Pan Zi tried to salvage them, but was stopped by Wu Sansheng.

The value of this thing is not great, even if it is salvaged, its value is limited.

Wang Kaixuan, who was leading the way, shouted, "This way! Third Uncle! This is it!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Wang Kaixuan's finger, and not far away, a large altar at the bottom of the river appeared.

Yes, the altar.

Everyone in Wu Sansheng floated in the water, and the wolf-eyed flashlight shone up and down.

It's not the first time Wu Laosan has seen an altar. For example, the time in the cave temple, the altar was very objective.

But compared to this altar, the cave temple is still a bit petty.

The size of this altar is at least two football fields, and it has a weird nine-sided shape. The most weird thing is that the altar is facing downwards!
In other words, a normal altar is pyramid-like, protruding upwards.

And this altar is just the opposite, it is downward!

The nine sides of the altar shoot in nine directions, and in the distance of the nine directions, you can see densely packed skeletons of giant beasts.

Looking back at the road at this moment, it seems that he has discovered the altar and the knack of arranging animal bones along the way.

Pan Zi slapped his head and murmured, "These giant beasts look as if they were sacrificed to death."

Wang Kaixuan said proudly, "Look at the altar again, there are human bones and many antiques inside, how about it! Did I make a great contribution in this wave?"

"Working!"

Wu Sansheng kicked Lao Wang, and Wang Kaixuan walked down the edge of Nuo Da's sunken altar.

Standing on the edge of the altar, you can see that the stone used in the construction of this altar is very elegant. Even in the dark river bottom, it can shine brightly. It feels like a kind of fluorite stone, but fluorite stone is not like this. The hardness and density of the whole floor looks very similar to the jadeized marble variation stone.

Wang Kaixuan took the Luoyang shovel and poked it at the floor tiles. The glowing stone floor was not to mention a hole, and the Luoyang shovel in Wang Kaixuan's hand almost flew out.

"Go down!"

The crowd walked down the stairs of the altar.

Going down from the altar, it’s actually not too deep, it can’t exceed six floors, and the strong light of the flashlight can shine to the end.

On both sides of the passing stairs, there were messy sacrificial offerings, all of which looked familiar at a glance.

"Hey! Isn't this Tang Sancai?"

"It's still Tang Sancai's deer! Look at this deer, tsk tsk!"

"This Tang Sancai puppet is also pretty good!"

"..."

Wu Sansheng took a look, and picked up one of them, which was the top of a golden sacrificial incense burner.

There is no way to find the bottom of the incense burner.

The top cover of this incense burner, when wiped with fingers, is golden, without any rust, and there is a faint layer of grease. The structure of the entire incense burner is wonderful, with hollow spaces inside and outside, exquisite and translucent.

Gongsun Baima asked curiously, "How did the third uncle make the hollow thing?"

Wu Sansheng smiled, "The lost wax method."

Gongsun Baima hesitated, "What is the lost wax method? Uncle, it's my first time to rob a tomb, so I haven't heard of it."

Wu Sanxing was fiddling with the top cover of the hollow incense burner in his hand, "The lost wax method, also known as the foundry method, when making an object, first draw the shape of the object, and then draw a ladle based on a gourd to forge a wax mold. Pour hot wax into it, then shape a wax shape, then cool the wax quickly, then put it into a sand mixer, perform two turbulences, make a wax mill, and finally embed ceramic clay and turn the sand once, after the clay ceramics are finished Introduce golden water and turn it a second time."

"Because the first flip is reversed, so the second time it becomes positive."

"And the gold and silverware produced will be exactly the same as the first wax figure."

"The last step is to heat the gold and silverware, so that the wax will flow out, leaving a perfectly hollowed out gold and silverware. This is called the lost wax method. Many mainstream fake antiques on the market now use this method."

As soon as Wu Sansheng said this, everyone around him fell in admiration.

It is worthy of being a master of tomb robbers, a master of fakes, and the No. 1 fake of the old nine gates.

The professional skills of this antique counterfeit can be said to be cowhide Klass.

Gongsun Baima admired, "Then third uncle, is there any flaw in this fake made by the lost wax method?"

Wu Sansheng pointed to the edge of the top cover of the hollowed-out incense burner and said, "This method is not perfect. One thing, you see, the gloss on the hollow around the gold and silverware, the greasy gloss is an obvious weakness! This It is left over after burning wax. In ancient times, it is difficult to completely melt and flow clean, so it can be distinguished, but in modern times, forget it. Modern tools are too advanced. The fakes made by this method, as long as they use dim sum, are hard to find.”

Wang Kaixuan said, "Then is the lost wax method related to this tomb?"

Wu Sansheng looked at the steps facing down from the altar, "Of course there is. The lost wax method was first born in the Han Dynasty, then abandoned, and finally appeared in the Tang Dynasty. It was developed during the Tang Dynasty, but there was no double-turning sand until the Five Dynasties and Ten Dynasties. At the end of the country, about 30 years before the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the lost-wax method flourished, and since then, counterfeit products have also become popular, so the lost-wax method also has a nickname, the method of counterfeiting."

Pan Zi listened to Wu Sansheng's analysis, thoughtful, "This tomb should be built before the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Tang Dynasty, during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?"

Wu Sansheng nodded, "It should be."

Wang Kaixuan rubbed his hands and murmured, "According to this time period, isn't this the era when Lord Baidi lived? Could it be that we have dug out Lord Baidi's hometown?"

Wu Sansheng waved his hand, "Don't think too much, just one or two antiques can only deduce the age of a tomb, if you want more information about the tomb, go down and see if there are any written records, it will be more detailed and credible. "

"Go, go down!"

"Follow!"
