Chapter 377
Then the archaeological team began to work intensively. They went to the inside of the tomb, but in fact the tomb is not big. There are only three stone rooms, two of which are empty, and a cauldron furnace is placed in one of them , the material of the furnace body cannot be tested, as for its function, it seems that it is probably used for alchemy from the traces left in the cauldron furnace.

As far as people know alchemy, almost all of them refer to alchemy in Taoism, one of the main Taoism of Taoism, and it is the precursor of modern chemical physics.

In fact, alchemy is a general term for refining outer alchemy and inner alchemy.Wai alchemy originated from the pre-Qin immortal alchemy, which is to smelt minerals in the alchemy furnace to make "elixir".Later, the human body was imitated as a furnace to practice the essence, energy and spirit, which is called inner alchemy.Wai Danshu means that Taoists use various secret methods to burn and refine elixir, and use it for consumption, or take some sesame herbs directly, so as to attune one's own yin quality and turn it into yang energy. "Chen Shidao's note: "Taoism uses cooking and refining gold and stone as the outer alchemy; "

Dan is a dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine. Many prescriptions in ancient and modern times are called "Dan" to show their effectiveness, such as Tianwang Buxin Dan, Zhibao Dan, Shanhai Dan, etc.These prescriptions are mainly made of animal and plant medicines, which have nothing to do with the original Dan, but just borrow the name of "Dan", which shows the profound influence of ancient alchemy on later generations.

Alchemy, also known as Waidan Huangbaishu, or Jindanshu, or "Waidan" for short, is to distinguish it from the "Inner Alchemy" Daoyin technique of the long-lived real person Qiu Chuji Quanzhen Longmen School.Alchemy started around the middle of the Warring States period, and became popular after the Qin and Han Dynasties. After the Song Dynasty, Taoism advocated the practice of inner alchemy (i.e. Qigong), and the "Ding Ding School" was popular for a while and rejected outer alchemy. Decline and give way to "Materia Medica".

Because of the discovery of this cauldron, the archaeological team is guessing whether the tomb owner of this tomb may be a person who practiced Taoism, but after investigating the entire tomb, someone came up with a view that this may not be a tomb at all. , because there are no coffins, no sacrificial objects, and the construction structure is not a common structure of a tomb.

Maybe this is actually the place where someone who lived in seclusion in the mountains lived? !

Xu Yunhan knew that this place was actually the tomb of cultivators, and that cauldron was used to refine the pills that the cultivators mentioned in Chanbao's mouth, not those who were skilled in practice.

However, there are indeed many strange things in this tomb. For example, no matter how poor the people of the Tibetan Sword Sect are, they will not leave the cauldron and leave nothing here. Last time, there was at least one magic weapon in the tomb. dagger.

And like the stone room where the cauldron is placed, shouldn't a row of wooden shelves be placed next to the cauldron to store medicinal materials? Looking at the two empty stone rooms, Xu Yunhan always has a feeling that someone may have taken away the contents in advance ? !

Could it be that Xiong Ce and the others came to take it away? !

Xu Yunhan has been secretly observing their words and deeds for the past few days, and found that they seem to be particularly concerned about the research and discussion of the tomb by the archaeologists and various speculations. Sometimes Xiong Ce will ask the archaeologists a few questions inadvertently. .

All kinds of signs deepened her suspicion of Xiong Ce and the others. Fortunately, they did not have any malicious intentions towards the archaeological team.

Since there are no funerary objects in the tomb, there are actually not many things that can be studied. After staying here for about half a month, all the materials that need to be recorded and kept for research in the tomb and a small number of samples have been collected. The investigation work has to be continued after returning home.After all, almost everything in this tomb is unusual, and it's not something they can tell one, two, three just by seeing it.

The next research needs to go back and search a lot of historical data, verify them one by one, and reason and verify one by one.

After returning to BJ, Xu Yunhan and Jing Shuo sent Professor Song home together, and then had dinner with Dai Xiaobei, Fan Disheng, and Ah Mo who came back a few days ago.

After the party that night, Jing Shuo sent Xu Yunhan and Ah Mo back home, and left reluctantly.

"Amo, I went to Changbai Mountain for archaeology this time, and I saw that animal-faced, human-body, bird-winged statue again."

As soon as he got home, Xu Yunhan took Amo to her room and told her about the archaeological trip to Changbai Mountain.

Ah Mo pondered for a long time after listening, and finally said, "I want to follow Xiong Ce and those people, and I should be able to find out what their purpose is, and I think maybe my grandma was related to the people behind these people at the time." .”

Xu Yunhan thinks the same way, but it is not that simple to investigate Xiong Ce and those people. Since they can be appointed by the "relevant department", such an identity shows that the people behind them are not small, and can even affect the country. mechanism.

"The matter has come to this point, we can't rush, and we can always find out the truth through a slow investigation." Xu Yunhan said in a deep voice.

……

In the end, after much deliberation, Xu Yunhan decided to ask Jing Shuo to help her secretly investigate the information of Xiong Ce and those people, but he had been told to be very secretive so that the other party would not be aware that someone was investigating them.

Although Jing Shuo didn't know why she did this, she still acted according to her words, but the final investigation result was surprising. The identities of these people could not be found at all, as if there were no people like Xiong Ce in the whole country.

At this moment, Jing Shuo also realized that something seemed strange. Some time ago, he often ate and drank with those people. He had a good relationship and trusted them.But now it seems that it is impossible for them to be the guards sent by the relevant departments, otherwise how could their information not be found out.

Generally speaking, people who can't find out the information either have a very high status and all the information is a top secret of the state, or they have their identities revoked and they are wandering in a gray area.

Could it be that people like Xiong Ce are like special forces? !

"Hanhan, why do you want to investigate them?"

Such an investigation result made Jing Shuo feel uneasy, so he asked Xu Yunhan.

Xu Yunhan glanced at Ah Mo next to her, and saw her nodding before telling him about the connection between Ah Mo's mother and the tomb. First, she didn't want to hide him or lie to him; Shuo's ability far exceeds her and Ah Mo's.

If Jing Shuo can help, the difficulty of finding out the truth of the matter will be slightly reduced.

"This is the pattern. I bought this statue by accident. Later, Ah Mo gave me this fried gold bead and jade ornament. You can see it is like this. The animal face, the human body, the bird wing statue, we are in Changbai Mountain This pattern is what I saw in the tomb, I think it should be the symbolic pattern of a certain sect of cultivation in ancient times."

Before Jing Shuo came back to his senses, Xu Yunhan revealed the whole thing in an astonishing way.

"Cultivation sect?" Jing Shuo widened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
