Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 132 The identity of the tomb owner
  Bai Jing ignored the reactions of others, stepped forward, and slowly laid the tomb owner flat again, making him lie in the coffin as before.

Seeing that it was almost the same as when he first opened the coffin, Bai Jing nodded with satisfaction, then took out the copper button he just took out from under the owner of the tomb and looked at it, and found that it was engraved in Jurchen script and small Chinese characters. A few words.

It should be because the copper button has been stored in a closed space. Although there is some rust on the copper button, Bai Jing can still see the writing on it.

'Yanzhan Shrimp Toad Seal'

After seeing the words above clearly, Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the owner of the tomb again.

He now knew the identity of the tomb owner.

Combined with the content on the mural, it should be almost the same.

The owner of this tomb should be Guo Xiabao, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty. His family has produced excellent shooters for generations.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Jin Dynasty, both he and his brother Guo Lu were recruited into the army because they were good at shooting.

In the early years of Xingding, Guo Luda was awarded the rank of Tongzhi Pingliang Prefecture and governor of Huizhou because of his outstanding military achievements. He was promoted to the first rank of official. At the same time, he was given the surname Yan Zhan and was ordered to guard Huizhou. Guo Xiabao naturally followed his brother. In the army.

Later, Guo Xiatuo made many military exploits and was reused by Jin Aizong.

For this reason, Guo Xiato ended his life in the Jin court. Until three years after the fall of the Jin Dynasty, Guo Xiato was still trapped in the isolated city, fighting until the last moment, and finally burned himself to death.

The owner of the tomb had obviously been burned by flames. Combined with the murals and copper buttons, there was no doubt that the owner of the tomb was Guo Xia Toad.

Here is a sentence: According to the official seal system of the Jin Dynasty, official seals were made of different materials according to different statuses, and were divided into four grades: gold, jade, silver, and copper.

Among them, the highest-level gold seal can only be used by the emperor. Because the name of the Jin Dynasty is "Jin", the gold seal has the highest status in the Jin Dynasty. At the same time, the dragon shape carved on the gold seal is a dragon button, which is written to the Jin Emperor. The treasure of xx.

Under the gold seal is the jade seal. In fact, there were not many people who could use the jade seal in the Jin Dynasty. There were only the princes, queens, queen mothers and other people who were called Tianhuang nobles. The rest were even the prime ministers or those who were favored. Concubines or princes cannot use jade to make official seals.

For example, the prince's seal button is a jade turtle button, which is written to express the prince's treasure.

Then there is the silver seal again, which is made of silver. The user is usually a relative of the emperor such as a prince.

Its shape is a camel button, which is called the 'seal', such as King X's seal.

Finally, there is the copper seal. In the Jin Dynasty, even if you were a powerful official, as long as you were not a relative of the emperor, you would always use copper to make the official seal.

There are no animals on the copper seal button, it is just a rectangular plate button with the XXX seal written on it in Jurchen script or Chinese.

For example, the official seal of Guo Toad is the 'Yanzhan Toad Seal'.

Information such as level, whose seal, whether there is royal blood, etc. can be said to be clear at a glance.

It seems that the Mongols believed that this toad was loyal, so they did not let his body be exposed in the wilderness at that time, but let it be buried in peace.

However, I don’t know what kind of method was used to let the Gu worms enter the body of the toad.

Bai Jing couldn't think of a reason for a while.

Hu Bayi and Fatty seemed to be a little confused when they saw the copper button in Bai Jing's hand.

Bai Jing didn't explain, but put it back into the coffin, then stretched out his hand to the fat man and said, "Bring it here."

The fat man was a little confused and asked immediately: "What is it?"

When Bai Jing saw him pretending to be stupid, he immediately said, "Jade!" Finally, at Bai Jing's urging, the fat man reluctantly handed the two pieces of ancient jade to Bai Jing.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Jing was seen combining two pieces of ancient jade into one, forming a moth-like shape and explaining: "Moths in ancient times symbolized warriors who sacrificed their lives. As the saying goes, moths fly into the fire and move forward bravely, knowing that Whether to die or to be plunged into the fire, the ancients highly respected the spirit of this moth.

This kind of thing is usually awarded to those who have achieved military exploits or meritorious service. It can be said to be a great honor. However, the owner of this tomb can be said to have nothing to offer, so forget about the mask. Although it is valuable, it is not suitable for archaeology. Didn't make much contribution.

But this thing can evaluate the merits and demerits of the tomb owner's life. Although we are engaged in this industry, we cannot make a general who should be respected by others lose his last bit of honor because of some of our actions, right? "

After listening to Bai Jing's words, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang fell silent.

But at this time, the candle that had been extinguished suddenly spontaneously ignited for some reason.

However, Bai Jing and the others didn't notice it at the moment.

Bai Jing ignored the reactions of Hu Bayi and the others, placed the jade ones on the left and right hands of the tomb owner, and then said: "Okay, let's close the coffin lid."

With that said, he, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang lifted the coffin lid again, and finally placed it gently on the coffin lid.

Only then did Bai Jing notice that the candle that had been extinguished before suddenly started burning again.

What Bai Jing was sure of was that they had no one to light the candles.

The next moment, Bai Jing smiled. He already knew who lit the candle.

Bai Jing said: "Okay, let's walk around the tomb again. Maybe we will find something else."

After hearing Bai Jing's words, Hu Bayi and Fatty wandered around the tomb again, wanting to see if there was anything valuable left.

Bai Jinglao took a closer look at the place where weapons were stored in the side hall of the old road, and found that there was another space inside.

Just as he thought of it, Bai Jing began to use his two fingers to explore the cave. Soon, a brick on the wall was taken off by Bai Jing, and the space behind it was instantly revealed.

As if they heard the movement from Bai Jing's side, Hu Bayi and Fatty rushed over.

Bai Jing moved very quickly, neatly placing the removed bricks in the corner.

Soon, a hole that could allow a person to pass through was revealed.

Bai Jing took a flashlight and looked inside, and then he saw clearly that there was a passage behind the hollow.

When he saw the track on the ground, Bai Jing also smiled and said: "Haha, it really takes no effort to get here. This should be the Kwantung Army's fortress."

After hearing Bai Jing's words, Hu Bayi and Fatty suddenly became excited.

The purpose of their coming here is to find the base of the Kwantung Army.

However, what no one expected was that this tomb was actually only separated from the Kwantung Army's base by a wall.

Bai Jing was the first to turn over, and then Hu Bayi and three others quickly followed.

Immediately afterwards, they started exploring around the Kwantung Army base.
