summer market

Last time, Wu Haode's teeth shivered from the cold when he mentioned a sudden gust of wind, and for a while, his teeth "clucked" and played the chorus very well.

Colonel Zhang saw that his lips were blue and his face was pale from the cold, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring a military overcoat for Wu Haode to put on.It was also at this time that people suddenly felt as if the surrounding temperature was dropping suddenly.

Gu Zhenting noticed something strange at this moment.He immediately became vigilant. Years of archaeological experience had allowed him to experience many risks. Where there is something abnormal, there must be something strange. This is the experience he summed up.Since the faint musky scent appeared, the temperature has only begun to drop, and it's getting weirder here.

"Except for A Wei and a few necessary people, everyone else, all withdraw." Gu Zhenting said calmly, "We don't need so many people now." In fact, many archaeologists have never had the chance to see such a weird scene in their lifetime. When they arrived, they were both excited and nervous in their hearts. No one wanted to miss this scene, and wanted to know what caused the blood pool.So after he finished speaking, no one was willing to move their feet.

"Quick!" Gu Zhenting straightened his face.Gu Zhenting is usually a very serious person, but now he has a straight face and a firm attitude. Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to pick up their rain gear and go out.At this moment, the four experts that Gu Zhenting needed also ran in quickly, followed by 4 A guards who walked neatly.

As soon as the four specialists heard the urgent call, they knew they must have a tricky job.Just because you don’t need you doesn’t mean you’re unimportant. Everyone knows the truth that good steel is used on the blade. So after being woken up in the middle of the night, they realized that after being idle for so many days, they finally came in handy. .

Sure enough, as soon as I entered, I saw that the No. 7 pit, which was never open to visit, turned out to be like a Shura hell, with scarlet and greasy blood rolling in the pit. oil pan.And the strange musky scent permeating the air made people feel inexplicably depressing.

Several experts showed varying degrees of shocked expressions on their faces, but Feng Shui master Liu Wensheng let out a "huh", frowned, looked around for a while, and then remained silent.

"Hey, what's going on here? Who put a pool of blood here?!" Biologist Li Maocai asked Gu Zhenting in surprise.He and Gu Zhenting usually have a little friendship, so he asked Gu Zhenting directly.

"I was just going to ask you guys about this matter." Gu Zhenting couldn't see any expression on his face, although he was full of thoughts at this moment. "Everyone, please answer this question from your own professional perspective. Xiao Wu, please tell me what happened tonight. Gu Zhenting came in a hurry and didn't know much about it. When he arrived, everyone They surrounded him, and he didn't have a chance to ask Wu Haode what happened.

"Yes, Professor." Wu Haode swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened his throat, and straightened out his messy thoughts before speaking.

It turned out that since more than a dozen bronze wares were dug in Pit No. 7 during the day, the archaeologists were shocked and extremely excited. This great discovery that subverted traditional thinking made them very excited.Seeing this scene, Gu Zhenting was even more delighted in his heart. This strange discovery does not lie in how much sensation this batch of bronze castings with the Sanxingdui origin of Bashu will bring about in the archaeological world, but the hidden truth behind it. A bigger secret.Gu Zhenting can almost judge that there is likely to be a bigger surprise buried under this pile of bronzes.

This group of archaeologists are all first-class experts, and they quickly cleaned out the floating soil and impurities on the bronze wares. From the discovery of the first bronze mask at 10:7 in the morning to around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, The thirteen beautiful and huge bronze wares have all been cleared and recorded. They were transported out of Pit No. [-] and sent to a specific warehouse. They were numbered and kept for further research.

This batch of bronze wares is very well preserved, not only without any loss, but also not seriously rusted, which is even more precious than those deliberately damaged bronze wares on the Sanxingdui site.Pit No. 600 brought unprecedented surprises to archaeologists, but also brought them unprecedented challenges.First of all, Pit No. [-] cannot be defined as a tomb.The reason is simple, no human bones and funerary objects were found here.In other pits No. [-] to No. [-], some bones and funerary objects were unearthed. There are more than [-] pieces of tortoise shell and animal bones with inscriptions on them alone. In addition, there are a large number of jade, shells and pottery. There are also a lot of utensils, but they are completely different from Pit No. [-]. They are bronze ritual utensils from the Yin and Shang period of the Central Plains civilization at that time. Similar cultural relics have been unearthed in archaeological excavations throughout the history of Henan, and they are not particularly precious. thing.

However, the ancient tombs here are full of puzzling mysteries.One of the biggest mysteries is that among the ancient tombs excavated here, none of the tombs contain buried slaves.

In Shang and Zhou ancient tomb sites, the phenomenon of human sacrifice is very common, and the excavation of the remains of slaves and livestock that were sacrificed was a prominent feature of this period.The Yin and Shang dynasties at that time were very superstitious, and their ruling power was almost based on mysterious theocracy.At that time, it was generally believed that the soul of a person continued to live in the underworld after death, so the rulers would take the objects used during their lifetime to be buried, so as to continue to enjoy their life in the underworld after death.But here, among the six ancient tombs excavated so far, no bones other than the owner of the tomb have been found.

The scale of these ancient tombs almost belonged to the masters of the princely level, but there was not even a single slave buried, which was unreasonable at the time.At that time, slaves, like livestock, belonged to the slave owner's wealth. Could it be that the owner of the tomb was a miser during his lifetime and was reluctant to be buried with him?Or are the tomb owners high in consciousness, knowing that human sacrifice is inhumane?But in any case, it was definitely a good thing for the slaves of these people at the time.

The second oddity is that these tombs are very dry.After excavating for six or seven meters, the excavation surface of the underground water layer had already been reached, but the soil quality was similar to that of the two or three meters, and the soil was only wet.This phenomenon has also aroused the interest of archaeologists.Geologists have judged that the underground water channel here was originally very active, but the groundwater is still not obvious after digging so deep, which obviously cannot confirm this inference.

After cleaning up the cultural relics, Gu Zhenting acted decisively and asked the staff to continue to work, looking for more clues.And Chen Wenming is also very sure that there should be unknown discoveries in the soil layer under the bronze ware.The enthusiastic staff immediately started construction, trying to find out more valuable things.However, the shovel dug several meters deep and found nothing. There was neither a layer of rammed earth nor any other useful information.But the trust of the staff in Gu Zhenting and Chen Wenming was far greater than the soil brought up by the Luoyang shovel, and the enthusiasm remained undiminished, and they continued to work.Gu Zhenting noticed that the soil brought up by the shovel was only wet, which indicated that it was still deep from the groundwater level.

The excavation continued, but Gu Zhenting couldn't take it anymore.He is over half a century old, and although he has built a strong physique through years of climbing mountains and mountains, the two weeks of high-intensity excavation work has made him feel very strenuous.The workers who excavated the soil have already changed three batches, and the archaeologists in charge have also changed their shifts one after another. At around 11:30 in the evening, he finally couldn't hold on, so he had to let his assistant Wu Haode stay here , Go back to the camp to rest for a while.Colonel Zhang, who is as strong as a lion, is still on duty outside the pit in high spirits. This colonel, who has always maintained ample physical strength, has very sharp eyes and a meticulous attitude. He rarely talks to anyone except Gu Zhenting. say.In fact, with his fiery temper, no one dared to provoke him.And Chen Wenming, nicknamed "Magnet", had already gone back to the camp to sleep.
