Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 161 Wood King Tiehua
Needless to say, Lin Yi and Qian Sheng.

Even Wang Qiang understands the value of this "King Yu Jiuding".

In the beginning, seeing the nine fakes in the "Tomb of He Zheng", which were equivalent to those forged in the Western Han Dynasty, was enough to shock the entire Chinese archaeological circle.

When they escaped from the tomb of Queen Jingjue, they even saw traces of the "Liangzhou Ding" on the "Ladder to Heaven".

At that time, when these pictures appeared in their live broadcast room, Chinese people all over the world were shocked.

There have been countless debates on the Internet.

The object of the debate is, who is China's number one national treasure, Jiuding or Chuanguo Yuxi?

Everyone was debating, and this topic was once a hot search topic.

Numerous experts and scholars have expressed their views and opinions through this topic.

At that time, there was a bright reply on the forum: If the first emperor could find Jiuding, he would not have made a Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

It's a complete end to this topic.

Judging from the results, the opinions of the people and the government are basically the same, Jiuding > Chuanguo Yuxi.

The Chuanguo Yuxi is just a substitute for the first emperor to pass on the tradition and authenticate his identity.

Compared with the whereabouts of the "Qingzhou Tripod", the origin of the "Taizong Zhengguan Mirror" in their hands and the significance of its existence seem less important.

Qian Sheng wrapped the bronze mirror in suede leather and handed it to Lin Yi, who put the bronze mirror into his backpack.

At this moment, the three of them focused their attention on the coffin in front of them.

This round hollow pile of rammed earth finally revealed its true appearance under three strong flashlights and two headlamps.

The position of the coffin is not in the center, but rather towards the stone door in the south.

Twelve mummified corpses stood around.

"Mr. Lin, you were scared just now. Don't you think it's strange that there are people dying around Taigong Jiang's coffin?
It stands to reason that the Western Zhou Dynasty had completely abolished the practice of human sacrifice. Except for livestock, basically no living animals were allowed to be buried with them.

What's more, according to the content of this inscription, this sacrificial ceremony was presided over by the Duke of Zhou. He was the creator of the "Zhou Rituals", so how could he allow people to be buried with him? "

Lin Yi walked to the coffin, observed it carefully, and explained to Qian Sheng:

"Lu Shang has a special status.

Although he is the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he can also be regarded as an old official of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, not to mention that he has Qiang blood.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, sacrifice was a top priority. It was necessary to follow Zhou rituals and respect the traditional customs of the indigenous people. "

After saying that, Lin Yi approached the mummies.

After putting on rubber gloves and examining the teeth and bones of these mummies, he asserted.

"These martyrs were not 'married alive'. They had been mummified before entering here. Look, there are still debris of lime and charcoal here.

Judging by their teeth and bones, their average age was over 35 years old, which was already considered a high age at that time.

They may be members of the same clan of the Jiang family, and they were buried here together with Lu Shang's clothes after death.

It should be regarded as a compromise method, which not only takes care of the Zhou rituals, but also takes into account the customs of the Jiang clan. "

Wang Qiang urged from the side:

"We are not here to study mummies. Let's see if this 'Qingzhou Cauldron' is buried in this coffin."

Lin Yi put on his gloves and stroked around the cracks in the coffin, shaking his head in disappointment.

"This coffin has been opened!"

"Has it been opened?"

Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng were surprised in unison.

“The opening method was professional and skillful. Not only did the entire structure of the coffin not be damaged, even the lacquered shell of the outer coffin chamber was almost not damaged.

This is definitely not something that two or three people can do. "

Hearing this, Wang Qiang cursed immediately.

"Damn it, could it be Zhang Qiuli and his gang that did it?"

Qian Sheng immediately shook his head.

"That's not possible. If they can do such a job, how can they be punished? Are they all waiting to die at home?"

Lin Yi reached out and gently touched the top cover of the outer coffin.

"I think Shopkeeper Qian's analysis makes sense, but Zhang Qiuli and the others don't have the ability at all.

The most likely possibility is that this fight should have been defeated by an expert during the Tang Dynasty, and the identity of this expert was not ordinary.

Look here, there are traces of dragging the blue stones used to cushion the coffin.

It shows that this coffin was not originally placed here. "

Qian Sheng slapped his thigh.

"That's right, why didn't I think of that? First, there were those 24 bronze statues, and then there was this 'Taizong Zhengguan Mirror'. It must have been done by an expert from the Tang Dynasty.

We're late! "

"It's not too late, look here!"

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the back of the coffin.

That position should be regarded as the center of the entire circular rammed earth layer, which is the core area of ​​the entire tomb group.

But it's too dark here, if it wasn't for the lights that were focused here, it would be impossible to see the situation clearly.

"Isn't this just a wall? What can you tell?"

Wang Qiang walked closer and asked without knowing what was going on.

Lin Yi was noncommittal and turned to Qian Sheng:
"Treasurer Qian, you pay attention!"

Qian Sheng approached, first smelled it with his nose, and then touched it with his hands.

"Master Lin, this...is this the 'Wooden King'?"

"That's right! It's the 'Wooden King'!"

Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Qian Sheng came closer and looked again and again, and began to shake his head involuntarily.

"It's unbelievable, it's simply unbelievable. The raw material of this 'Wooden King' can grow to be so thick. Is it probably thousands of years old?"

"What are you talking about? What is King Wood? Why is it related to wood again? Is this a piece of wood?"

Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to stroke it a few times with a dazed expression, and knocked it twice with a shovel.

"You two, just hide it from me. This isn't wood, it's just a wall. Even my engineer shovel can't make a mark."

"Master Wang, you don't know. The raw material of this wood is called 'iron birch'. It is known as the hardest wood in the world. It has a very high density and is as hard as steel. It is also called the 'King of Wood'.

This kind of tree has the most developed root system, which can stretch for several miles underground, fully absorbing nutrients and various mineral elements from the ground into the trunk, making its wood as hard as iron.

Moreover, this 'King of Wood' has a very long growth cycle. Other trees only produce one growth ring every year, but it only produces one every ten years.

Don't say you engineer shovel, even bullets don't even want to penetrate. "

"Is there really such a god?"

Wang Qiang just doesn't believe in this evil.

"Spit! Spit! You two, get out of the way!"

"Oh, please don't."

Just as Qian Sheng was about to stop him, Lin Yi pulled him aside with a smirk on his face.

Wang Qiang spat into the palm of his hand, tightened his grip on the engineer's shovel, and with all his strength, he chopped at the iron birch wood.

Only a "bang" sound was heard.

The engineering shovel in Wang Qiang's hand flew out.

"Whoops!"

Wang Qiang yelled, covered his left and right hands with both hands, and squatted on the ground.

"How's it going, Mr. Wang, are you okay? Can I pull you up?"

Wang Qiang waved his hand.

"Don't, it gave me a headache, please slow down!"
