Mystery Leaks

Chapter 143 The Unremarkable Yellow Clay Altar

I poured out the incense ash in the incense altar, and I took a look. It was a very unremarkable yellow clay jar, with three legs and two ears, very rough, thick bottom and rim, and a small altar pit.

Looking left and right, I found nothing abnormal. This kind of yellow clay jar is a kind of old pottery. The porcelain in the past was very expensive, because the firing temperature of porcelain is very high, and good charcoal is needed.

But pottery is different. Any wood can be used, and the firing temperature is relatively low, so it is cheap. In the past, ordinary people in the countryside could not afford porcelain, and most of them were pottery.

The yellow clay pottery is the worst kind of pottery. The material used is yellow clay. Even the clay is saved. The rough ones can’t be rougher. Yellow mud.

Could it be something in the jar?

I thought again because it was a bit too heavy.

How about trying to break it?
But I hesitated, it was an old object after all, when my grandfather was here, this gray altar was already placed on the altar to offer incense to the ancestors of the Meng family. A taste.

After thinking about it, I think it's better not to worry. Anyway, I am idle now, and I have plenty of time to study. At worst, let Meng Shuisheng figure out a way.

Estimate the volume and weigh it. If there is something in it, you should be able to find it. Isn’t there an Aki experiment in middle school textbooks?Meng Shuisheng is good at studying, so ask him to help.

So I put the jar down, packed it in a bag after cleaning, and rode back.Meng Shuisheng will be on vacation the day after tomorrow, so I put it in the corner of the room.

……

Walking around during the day, no business, only a few orders in a day.

After doing nothing for a day, Lu Ningxiang came again at night, her scent became stronger and stronger, before I even entered the door, I could smell her scent.

She seemed in a good mood, smiled at me, sat on the bed naturally, and turned on the TV.

Although she can talk, she doesn't like talking very much. If I don't talk, she is usually silent.

"You only wear this one dress, are you cold?" Smelling her deceptive body fragrance, I asked, the red dress she was wearing was very thin, it was late autumn now, if she wore less, she would be cold.

But then again, this red dress is very unusual. The last time she was injured, the red dress was scratched and torn, but the cut at the back disappeared and returned to its original state, which is simply unimaginable.

"It's not cold." Lu Ningxiang said in a pleasant voice, shaking her head slightly.

"Then, can you feel the cold?" I asked again, her body was very cold, so she might not be able to feel the cold.

"Yes." She nodded, cherishing words like gold.

I understand, it's good if I can, it shows that she is not very different from a human being, and those corpses must not feel anything.

At this moment, Lu Ningxiang suddenly shifted her attention, instead of watching the TV, she looked at the snakeskin bag in the corner of the room.

What is contained in it is the yellow clay jar just brought back from the old house.

My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly waved it twice in front of Lu Ningxiang. Then she looked at me and said in a pleasant voice: "There is... something in the bag."

I immediately ran out of bed and took the yellow clay jar out of the bag. There were things everywhere in the room, but she only looked at the bag, explaining that the yellow clay jar was unusual.

She sensed something.

I brought the yellow clay altar in front of her, she stared at the yellow clay altar, her eyebrows slightly frowned, as if she saw something she didn't understand, then she slowly stretched out her jade finger and tapped on the yellow clay altar.

"Crack!"

Immediately, the yellow clay altar was shaken, cracked into countless pieces, and the golden light shot out from the cracks, which was so dazzling that I almost couldn't open my eyes.

My heart twitched violently, this thing is radiant, it is absolutely not simple.

Immediately afterwards, the cracked pottery pieces began to fall off piece by piece, gradually revealing a round thing like a compass inside, with many rattan-like lines on it, which looked weird, and the center was sunken into a hemisphere , there is a series of small pits on the wall, and a large pit in the middle. It seems that there should be something inlaid on it, but it is gone.

I was shocked, what exactly did grandpa leave for me?
Soon, all the cracked pottery shards fell off, and the light gradually dimmed, turning black, faint, and a little cold in the hand.

"What is this?" I asked Lu Ningxiang.

Lu Ningxiang shook her head slightly, also looking puzzled. After a pause, she stretched out her hand again, and moved the middle part of the disc. Suddenly, the middle part of the disc turned, driving the hemispherical depression in the middle to surround the most A round pit in the center rotates, and it also makes a "squeak" sound like the second hand of a watch.

I was also curious and reached out to dial it, and found that it was very relaxed, without any sense of blockage, and there was only a very, very small gap between the middle part, the periphery and the center, which was almost imperceptible.

The precision of the manufacturing process is astonishing. It is covered with rattan-like lines. No matter how you turn it, the one-piece rattan can be connected back together, and there will be no mistakes.

I frowned, these rattan-like lines made me feel that it is not a thing of Han culture, because rattan is a typical cultural mark of a barbaric nation.

This reminds me of the ancient Yue people instinctively.

Could it be that this thing was left by the ancient Yue people?
If this is the case, then the year can be regarded as a thousand years.

Grandpa actually put this thing in the yellow mud and sintered it with fire, which shows that this thing is not afraid of fire.

My heart is pounding. This is a very, very important thing. Grandpa wanted to leave it to me, but he didn't say it clearly. There must be something taboo, but he left a symbol on his leg that I only understand. In this way, it may be wrapped in yellow mud and will never be found.

I knocked on the disc, and the sound was a bit weird. I couldn’t tell it was made of materials. It looked like metal, wood, or jade. Its specifications were a little bigger than that of Hu Lai’s, and I could hold it with my palm open. .

After that, I fiddled with it again, and found that the bottom and top of the disk had rattan-like textures, but the hemispherical concave area in the middle was different. There were flowers, birds, fish and insects, spiritual birds and animals, mountains and rivers, and ancient ancestors. The people worshiping the sun and the moon, and the gods sitting in the sky are all outlined by some simple and sinuous lines, but they are lifelike, and they are definitely first-class ancient works of art.

The more I look at it, the more extraordinary it is. It is something that my grandfather painstakingly left me. It is very important and must be crucial.

No need to think about it, my old house must have been searched countless times, and every time I went there, I could find traces of things being tampered with.

Those ghosts and ghosts around me, men and women who robbed tombs, dare not come to my shop, but they can go to the old house, so they will never let it go.

But just like that, this inconspicuous yellow clay jar, used to put fragrant incense, has not been taken away, and has been quietly placed there.

It means they didn't notice it at all!
Thinking of this, I stepped on the pieces of yellow pottery on the ground, and was surprised to find that they were not broken, but cracked into pieces, and did not turn into a pile of yellow mud after being broken like ordinary yellow pottery.

Apparently, this very rough-looking yellow clay pottery piece is also specially made, it is estimated that it can cover up the breath of this thing, and it is very strong, and it will not be damaged if it is dropped, and the contents inside will leak out.

Grandpa is working hard!
I didn't know what to do for a while, such an important thing, but I didn't know what it was and what it was for. Grandpa didn't leave me a word when he was alive.The most important thing is that it is not necessarily safe to put it on yourself or upstairs. It will be bad if someone finds out.

Xu Jiaojiao just went upstairs, who knows why she will come again.

After thinking about it, I accidentally made a decision that would have a great impact on the future, and said to Lu Ningxiang, "Can you keep this thing for me?" the safest.

Lu Ningxiang smiled and nodded, looking very happy to gain my trust.

After finishing speaking, she took out the disc from my hand, lifted the red dress to wrap it up, and then spread it out, and the disc disappeared, just like magic.

"This... why is it gone?" I was stunned.

"Hee hee." Lu Ningxiang smiled, rolled up the red dress, then spread it out, and the disc appeared again, I was dumbfounded.

"What's the reason for this?" I couldn't understand it at all, it was amazing.

"I don't know either." She shook her head slightly.
