Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 122 Heading to Ganggangyingzi
  Bai Jing looked at the shape of the thing again, and finally found a small mark on the handle.

At this moment, Bai Jing has determined the identity of this thing.

Judging from the shape of the vessel, this thing has a clear style of the Snow Region. According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong ordered the auspicious sword to be carried with him in order to celebrate the pacification of Jinchuan and Jinchuan, named "Shenfeng".

Although this thing is called a sword, its shape is actually made in the style of a sword. Emperor Qianlong specifically stated that when making it, "not the tip of the knife, but the tip of the sword."

Therefore, this thing is not a dagger, but a hidden sword.

Emperor Qianlong also ordered the Manufacturing Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to create two "small Shenfeng". Their shapes were completely modeled after the "Shenfeng" used by Ji Li's attendants, with only slight differences in the length of the blade and the inlay of gems.

Emperor Qianlong attached great importance to these two "little magic swords" and ordered special personnel to monitor the manufacturing process. From drawing paper patterns to making wood patterns, from scabbard to blade to handle, Qianlong himself made requirements for all details.

Finally, after more than a year, two "Little God Blades" were completed.

One of the handles is inlaid with coral, lapis lazuli and turquoise.

The other one is inlaid with pearls and red sapphires.

These two 'Little Shenfeng', as the royal swords of Emperor Qianlong, are now collected in the Palace Museum.

In fact, in addition to these two royal swords, Emperor Qianlong also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make two small swords without gems. These two swords were given to the two men who had made the greatest contribution to the pacification of Jinchuan and Jinchuan. A general.

Until later, one of them was stolen by the Xiling group and became a symbol of the identity of the leader of Xiling.

The one in Bai Jing's hand now is the remaining 'Little God's Edge' that is not inlaid with gems.

Apart from the difference in the presence or absence of gemstones, this sword and the two 'Little God Blades' in the Forbidden City are actually the same in terms of material and forging techniques.

Even the Kangxi sword in Bai Jing's hand was made using the same forging process.

This time it is considered a mistake.

Bai Jing put the 'Little Shen Feng' into his waist and went back with a smile on his face.

At noon the next day, Fatty came to see Bai Jing and explained his purpose.

He has persuaded Hu Bayi to go back to Gangggangyingzi to see the villagers. At the same time, he also collected the porcelain jars and other things from the villagers' homes, thinking about whether he could make a fortune with the villagers or something.

But as an archaeologist, Bai Jing must be aware of the major events in the archaeological world. This time, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang are destined to have a wasted trip.

As far as he knew, just last month, an earthquake occurred in Niuxin Mountain between where Ganggang Yingzi is located and the town. As a result, the tomb of the Empress Dowager Liao in the mountain was shaken out.

According to the behavior of archaeologists such as Bai Jing, they usually wander around the villages around the ancient tomb to see if any funerary objects have escaped.

If the burial objects belong to the tomb, then they should be handed in. If the objects are not to be buried with the tomb, they will usually spend some money to buy them from the villagers.

Probably so.

Of course, most experts and professors in the archaeological community actually do not have the habit of collecting cultural relics.

This is actually to prevent the contents of the tomb from being taken for oneself in the name of archeology.

Bai Jing actually complied with this requirement.

Since he started working in the field of archaeology, he has never taken anything home from the tomb. All his stuff has been collected from antique markets and other places.

And most of them are from after the Song Dynasty.

The purpose of Fatty Wang's visit was to ask if Bai Jing was going.

Bai Jing thought for a moment and realized that it had been ten years since he left Ganggang Yingzi. In addition, he happened to have nothing to do recently, so he simply agreed.

The fat man agreed when he saw Bai Jing, and was naturally overjoyed.

After all, Bai Jing is a person who knows the goods and can know the true value of antiques, so he will not bring worthless things with him when the time comes. Fatty immediately went directly to the station and bought train tickets for himself, Hu Bayi, and Bai Jing to Gangganyingzi.

After that, I went back to pack my things.

The fat man thought that it would take ten and a half days to go there, and maybe all the tapes he had hoarded would be wasted by then, or he would sell them all at cost.

The brothers pooled their money together, then went to buy some more things, and then sent a telegram to the village explaining where they were going.

Then the three of them boarded the train to Ganggangyingzi together a few days later.

Train, oxcart, counting from the time the three of them boarded the train, it was not until the afternoon of the third day that they finally arrived at Ganggangyingzi again.

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hu, Fatty, you are back."

"The fat man is fatter now than he was then."

Seeing Bai Jing and others coming back, the old people in the village were very excited.

It should be said that Bai Jing and the three of them were the only educated youths who left the village to return to the village for a visit.

Bai Jing also noticed that the villages were pretty good now. At least Bai Jing saw that there were telegraph poles erected in the villages.

After asking around, I found out that I had to thank Bai Jing for this.

Bai Jing found the gold vein at that time, and with the settlement of the gold mine, the superior department not only provided power to the gold mine, but also connected electricity to the village.

After a while, Bai Jing and the others saw the old party secretary, Yan Zi and others one after another.

When the old branch secretary saw Bai Jing and the others, he said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that I would be able to see you again at such an old age. The teacher's child is back again."

Bai Jing and the other two were excited when they saw these increasingly familiar faces.

The old branch secretary calmed down and quickly called everyone into the house.

Seeing Yanzi again, Bai Jing also felt that things were different.

Yanzi now works in the town and is considered a public official.

Although Yanzi did not go to college or join the army at that time, he was given the opportunity to attend a technical secondary school.

After graduating from technical secondary school, she went to the town and is now the women's director of the town.

Now that I think about it, Yanzi still had a crush on Hu Bayi at that time, and Bai Jing also smiled.

Under the warm welcome of the villagers, everyone entered the house.

When Bai Jing was walking on the road, he noticed that almost no young people in the village were there.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang naturally noticed it, and after entering the room, Fatty Wang asked about it.

As a result, the villagers didn't answer yet, but Bai Jing said directly: "You should be helping the archaeological team, right?"

Hearing this, other villagers were also a little curious.

Someone immediately asked: "How did you know?"

Before Bai Jing could speak, the fat man smiled and said, "Old Bai is a university professor now and specializes in studying these things. Of course he knows."
