Chapter 379 The Thirteen-ring Golden Belt of the Emperor

The explorers were very careful: they first looked for cracks in the bricks, used hooks to slowly remove the soil, then used scrapers to expand the cracks, and then took out the stone bricks after they were completely loose.

It took three layers of bricks to be uncovered before the rammed earth layer was discovered.

The ramming is very solid, and when the shovel is pressed down, a seal will be made.

The team members were accustomed to this, but the leaders were particularly surprised: The ground is so hard, how did Li Ding'an penetrate the nearly one-meter-long probe just now?

Suspicious, Yao Chuan moved the geomagnetometer and nailed the magnetic rod into the soil.

A three-dimensional image appeared on the screen: a box, one foot square, four square.

He Anbang came closer and said, "Could there be bones inside... like the dragon bone in the hand of the Golden Buddha?"

"The Golden Buddha is the eye and the guide of the formation, so it needs a keel, but it shouldn't be here!"

"What could that be?"

"Not sure, but if I guess, it should be a rope or something..."

What is this statement?
"Have you seen the aerial photos of Funiu Mountain?"

"I've seen it. The northernmost one is here, the middle one is Dongrenli Peak, and the southernmost Niu Yanggu... together they look like a bucket!"

"Yes, all changes are inseparable from the origin, and Feng Shui formation cannot be separated from eight words: adapt to local conditions and make the best use of the situation. It must be based on the mountain topography and combined with the celestial phenomena, so the cave is set up into a Douban formation.

You combine this with the astrology: the golden Buddha is the North Pole, the square number 7 is the Yuheng position, the 15th is Kaiyang, the 22nd is Yaoguang... Yes, this is the Yuheng... Yuheng is both honest and chaste, and belongs to Yin fire means 'turning gas into prison', so it is also called 'prison star'..."

"So you just use the rope as a magic weapon?"

"Yes, Yu Heng's 'Assistant Heng' means restraint. According to this view, ropes are also used... But there is another question: If you combine it with the terrain outside, where should this be?"

"Niu Yanggu!"

“What is an ox martingale?”

"An animal bridle?"

He Anbang was stunned when he said the words: If you think about it this way, don't you need a rope?

A group of leaders are more likely to listen to myths.

I don’t know if it makes sense, but I think it’s not just perfunctory?

So, generally speaking, they don’t believe it.

The first is that it is too fantasy, and the second is that the range defined by Li Ding'an is too small, so he can only point at the box and say what is inside.

But it was buried one meter deep and couldn't be detected by machines. He didn't have clairvoyance eyes?
The space is limited, there are too many people to stand, and we don’t dare to use mechanical tools, so we have to rely on people to shovel.

Don't dare to move too much. Every time you shovel a layer, if you find traces of rammed soil, you have to stop, take photos, videos, and take samples...and then dig the next layer.

Fortunately, it was not buried deeply.

With almost thirty centimeters left, Li Ding'an waved his hand: "Vacuum box!"

The explorer carried a box over, and with the help of hydraulic power, it was embedded in the soil. Then, with a lift, the wooden box and the soil were lifted up and sent to the workshop.

Several technicians looked at the endoscopic camera and operated the robotic arm to clean up the remaining soil. In about ten minutes, the wooden box was cleared out.

The leaders were separated by glass, which was particularly novel: did it look like they were undergoing surgery?
Li Ding'an put on his gloves: "Everyone, leaders, you can go in and take a look!"

What are you waiting for?
A group of people followed Li Dingan into the operation room.

After being buried for seven or eight hundred years, the wooden box was extremely rotten. After cleaning out the wood chips and washing the soil, another slightly smaller box was revealed.

Or iron?

Why do they look like matryoshka dolls?
There is no lock, only two buckles. When you open it, you can see what's inside.

About six centimeters wide, the outer layer is bright red, the inner layer is oily black, and they are neatly bunched together.

There is a metal wire in the middle, shining with yellow light.

No need to guess, it must be gold wire.

Looking again, Li Dingan said "ha". But before he could laugh out loud, he was stunned again... No, how could such a thing appear in such a place?
There is an isolation area, which is a bit far away, and Li Ding'an is still blocking it, so it's not very clear.

A group of people were all talking: "What?"

"It's quite round. It looks like a cake, but it seems like there are circles in the middle?"

"Is it a compass?"

"It looks a bit similar, but only the middle is reflective..."

"If it's a rope or a whip, how come it reflects light?"

No one said anything.

Experts are also human, and sometimes they are wrong...

Li Ding'an sighed, pressed the cleaning button, and waited for the water mist to dissipate, then stepped aside.

Now I can finally see clearly.

But immediately, both the researcher and the leader were completely confused.

Where is this compass?
It's clearly...a belt coiled up in circles?
Look again: It’s really a belt!

Great!

Teacher Li's guess was really accurate.

Doesn't this thing mean "binding"?
But the problem is... is this too new?
Look at the outer layer: it’s painted, red and bright. Every other section is decorated with a gold ring, which is dazzlingly bright.

Look at the inner layer, which is black with brown, densely packed with pores, more than ten pinholes, and patterns.

Look at the middle, it has a golden texture, a square button is circled in the innermost circle, and there is a pin in the middle of the button...

Yes, it is indeed a belt. The problem is, it looks like this:
It’s no exaggeration: no matter the color, style, or leather, they are exactly the same.

How is this an antique?
If they hadn't seen with their own eyes that this thing had just been dug out of the soil under one meter, the leaders would even wonder if someone bought it from the store.

"Could there be grave robbers and the cultural relics might have been transferred?"

"No burglary holes have been found in the surrounding area, so it's probably unlikely..."

"It's not necessary: ​​what tomb robber would fill up the hole after stealing cultural relics?"

"But it's too new?"

"Newness is only one aspect, the key is the style: let alone the Yuan Dynasty, did the Qing Dynasty have such a style?"

He Anbang and Ma Xianming looked at each other without daring to say a word.

More than just yuan?

This thing has been around since the Northern Song Dynasty, and its full name is: square gold buckle single tail leather belt.

The leather should be otter skin, and the buckle should be pure gold.

There are also real ones. One was unearthed from the Dingling Tomb of Emperor Wanli. It is almost the same, but not as new.

It is now collected in the Forbidden City.

The key thing is the decoration around the gold buckle: sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, flowers and birds...

This is the twelve chapter pattern, which was formed in the Zhou Dynasty and established in the Han Dynasty. Since then, it has become the system of crowns, belts, badges and uniforms in all dynasties until the Qing Dynasty: twelve chapters for the emperor, nine chapters for the three princes and princes, and seven chapters for the nine ministers and below...

This thing...is the emperor's girdle.

It is not a regular wear, but a crown and robe, which is only worn during large-scale court gatherings and sacrifices.

The reason why it is so new is because it was so new at the time. It was put into an iron box, then into a wooden box, and then buried in the soil... It was multi-layered and in an oxygen-free state, so it was naturally well preserved.

"Which dynasty?" He Anbang narrowed his eyes, "Liao, Jin, or Yuan?"

Li Ding'an breathed out: "Song!"

He Anbang leaned back fiercely: The emperor's thirteen-ring gold belt?
