Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 158 The Mystery of Zeng Guo
"Professor Gu?" I yelled, and when the other party heard that it wasn't Lao Yan, he hurriedly asked me where he was.

I put down the radio and went to look for it.

Who knew that before my side moved, Lao Yan had already rushed in: "Lao Gu, is there any progress?"

"That's right, the national archaeological team has already begun to excavate the burial pit next to it, and a large number of cultural relics have been unearthed after only one-third of the excavation. The survey conditions on the site are limited. I am going to send some pictures back. You can help me." Confirmation." Gu Shunzhang said excitedly, even through the electric current, I can imagine his expression of pointing out Jiangshan and encouraging his words.

Lao Yan nodded straightly, never thinking that the other party would not see him nodding at all, until I reminded him, he responded to Gu Shunzhang with a laugh, and asked the other party to send back the picture as soon as possible.

When the signal over there was cut off, I asked Lao Yan strangely, what kind of cultural relics can't even be surveyed by the National Archaeological Team, and need 701's help?

Even though Gu Shunzhang said implicitly and pushed the reason for not being able to be surveyed to the conditions, but which time the conditions for excavating the ancient tomb are good, is it possible that it will not be surveyed?
Lao Yan laughed: "Old Gu is very cautious in his work. The things unearthed now must be of great importance. He dare not draw conclusions by himself, so he pushed it to us 701."

I was a little speechless. As the leader of the national archaeological team, Gu Shunzhang must have strong professional knowledge, but he was a little hesitant in his work.

Lao Yan disagreed with my point of view, saying that archaeology is very cautious, and the reason why Gu Shunzhang became the team leader is because of his caution, and he has never made a joke because of a wrong survey!
I nodded knowingly, and I wanted to ask more questions. Lao Yan waved his hand and said to the busy people in the file room: "Go and rest for a while, Hubei is not close to Yanjing, just transfer It will take two or three hours for the Air Force to bring the photos here, so you have to keep your spirits up, and I guess some people will be busy next time..."

Some people in the archives were busy all night like Lao Yan. When they heard his words, they immediately put down the materials in their hands, twisted their shoulders, found a table in the archives, lay down on it, and fell asleep. It was full of people sleeping in all directions.

"Chang'an, you rested last night, don't sleep now, and take care of them." Lao Yan also yawned and found a place to lie down, closing his eyes and not forgetting to tell me.

I quickly agreed, pulled a chair and sat there and continued to study the materials of the Warring States Period, thinking that maybe I could help.

It seems that the time passed quickly when the materials came, and I just felt that after a while, someone rushed in with a file bag: "Here are the photos!"

Following his yell, countless tables and chairs sounded in the archive room that was quiet just now, and people who were sleeping soundly a second ago were extremely awake.

Especially Lao Yan, whose eyes did not show any trace of sleep at all, they looked bright and bright.

I saw him directly pulling out the file bag from someone's hand: "Xiao Li, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, then I'll get busy first." The young man called Xiao Li walked away with a smile.

"Open it and have a look!" A group of people quickly gathered around Lao Yan and urged.

In fact, without their urging, Lao Yan couldn't wait to open the file bag, and took out three photos from it.The thing on the first photo looks like an incense burner, but there are dragon-shaped handles on both sides, and a square table sits underneath.

"Is this an incense burner?" Someone was puzzled.I heard the sound and looked over, only to see a bald middle-aged man, because of his special image I was very impressed with him, I heard Lao Yan call him before, it seems to be Lao Xia, a comrade from the intelligence department.

Lao Yan glared at him: "This is a tripod."

"Ding?" Lao Xia snatched the photo, looked up, down, left, and right, and became even more confused: "It doesn't look like a tripod anyway."

Lao Yan also felt a little strange: "The shape of this tripod is different, and I don't quite understand why, but it is indeed a tripod. From the photos, it should be bronze."

Lao Xia nodded: "Look at the second picture first."

The second photo shows a small golden pot for food, with three phoenix-shaped short feet, two symmetrical ring ears on the upper abdomen, and a round handle on the top of the lid.

Lao Yan looked at the third photo without waiting for anyone to express his opinion. It was a hollow golden spoon.

"The pots and spoons should be matched." Lao Yan put the second and third photos together: "But it's still very difficult to tell what era it is from just looking at the photos..."

Lao Xia touched his bald head: "The heyday of Chinese bronze wares was the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Judging by the craftsmanship of this incense burner, it is likely to be from these two periods."

"You're right, but even the scope of these two periods is still very large." Lao Yan was a little worried: "Are there any clues in the information you have checked from yesterday to now?"

I listened to them all the time, and finally I was able to interject: "I seem to have seen the incense burner in the first photo!"

Everyone turned to look at me in an instant. I was a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many eyes, but I still said calmly: "I have been reading the history of the Warring States period and some burial systems in the past few days. Have you seen it in any book?"

"Quickly, find out all the books you've read these days!" As soon as the voice fell, Lao Yan pushed me towards the document shelf.

I'm not a fast reader. I've only read three or four books in the past few days, but I can recite them fluently.

Soon I found that book, and Lao Yan directly assigned three or four people to read it from beginning to end, and the rest of them were not idle, and piled all the materials about the Warring States period on the ground.

"Here!" Suddenly, one of them yelled, and everyone surrounded him.

I saw that the place he was pointing at was a blurry picture, but it was exactly the same as the picture that Lao Yan brought back.

Lao Yan's hands trembled with excitement: "That's right."

Everyone hurriedly shifted their eyes to the text of the picture, and suddenly saw a title: "The Mystery of Zeng Guo Sui Guo".

"Zeng Guo Sui Guo?" I was a little confused: "Do these two countries exist?"

Although I can recite it backwards, I usually only remember the key points.Because there are only a few hundred words under this title, and the most basic information about these two countries is not even introduced. The whole article has only one meaning, that is, did these two countries exist?

Moreover, this section belongs to unofficial history, and what is recorded is just the conjecture of some archaeologists, so I don't care about it.

No one responded to me, because Lao Yan's eyes were already red with excitement, holding the book: "Zeng Guo, it turned out to be Zeng Guo!"
