Chapter 610: Antiquities


The location where Liu Xuance and I were at this time was Shilou County, Shanxi Province, which is located on the east bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, west of the Luliang Mountains, and is part of the Loess Plateau.

According to the official saying, the terrain of Shilou County is high in the east and low in the west, with continuous hills and mountains, and the surface is covered with deep loess.

Due to erosion and erosion by running water, ravines are crisscrossed and the terrain is broken.

The entire territory can be divided into mountainous areas and hilly areas.

The eastern mountainous area, Shilou Mountain, was called Tongtian Mountain in ancient times.

It runs north to south and is composed of many peaks.

It has a majestic appearance.

Because the rocks on the mountain are stacked like towers, it was renamed Shilou Mountain in the Tang Dynasty.

During the main peak period, Panshan Mountain is 2,000 meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in the county.

In the central and southern mountains, the main peaks are Shishili Mountain and Tuanyuan Mountain, both with an altitude of more than 1,400 meters.

The west, north and Chengguan areas are all loess hilly areas.

The larger areas include Xuejiayuan, Caojiayuan, Xishanyuan, etc., all with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.

But from the perspective of Liu Xuance and I, we chose this place not because of its sparsely populated and remote location.

We chose it mainly because Xinguan Town here has the famous First Bend of the Yellow River.

Shilou County is famous for two reasons.

One is because there are many cultural relics unearthed there and they are extremely precious.

This must be recognized by China.

There are three Neolithic sites unearthed in the central and western parts of the county alone: ​​seven Shang Dynasty tombs, a Zhou Dynasty tomb and a Han Dynasty site, and one Song Dynasty Luze Garden.

There are also sporadic unearthed cultural relics, including pottery and pottery coffins.

Nearly 300 pieces of cultural relics, including stone tools, national utensils, gold utensils, table bronze utensils, shell coins, cloth coins, etc. were transferred to national, provincial and local museums in large quantities, and there are still sixty-seven species left in the county collection.

More than one hundred and thirty pieces.

The most precious cultural relic is a Shang Dynasty bronze wine vessel with dragon patterns stored in the National Museum, which is the only one in the country.

This illustrates a problem, that is, there are many tombs in Shilou County, and there are tombs from all dynasties and generations, mainly the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but how can there be so many tombs in a small county?

It is Feng Shui.

It's wonderful, but there are caveats in the mausoleum system, and the tomb cannot be suppressed.

That is to say, if the owners of two tombs have their eyes on a place and want to use it as their own tomb, this is not allowed.

Because if the two tombs overlap, the feng shui of this place will be disrupted, and it will also have extremely bad opinions about the people in the coffins.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would choose to press the tomb.

But when Liu Xuance and I saw the ghost coffin floating out of the Yellow River, I couldn't help but be slightly startled.

What was this ghost coffin?

The ghost coffin meant that there was a change here, at least there was a change in the coffin.

Liu Xuance once told me that he once saw a ghost coffin in the Northeast.

It was engraved with a picture of five ghosts cooking corpses.

The coffin was as red as blood, and it was left alone on the mountain.

Liu Xuancheng, a master of art at that time, was bold and ignored the persuasion of his old colleagues.

He resolutely led his entourage up to touch the coffin. , as a result, after the coffin was opened, red mist poured into the sky, and countless ghosts and ghosts rushed out from the coffin, crying.

Liu Xuance panicked at that time.

He originally wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly a female Zongzi wearing a red robe with seven evil patterns popped out of the coffin.

The Zongzi almost rushed towards Liu Xuance.

Although Liu Xuance was Not as powerful as now, but not too weak in hand and foot skills.

In addition, he has three major killing weapons: white wolf, black jackal, rouge tiger, and Zizhi has a good chance of killing this female rice dumpling.

However, who would have expected that this female rice dumpling is almost invulnerable.

After coming out, she will kill Liu Xuance's men with just one bite.

All of them would have been bitten to death, if Liu Xuance's father hadn't suddenly killed them.

I'm afraid Liu Xuance died at that time.

"Is it so evil?"

I shrank my head and asked.

Liu Xuance told me: "There are very few ghost coffins.

Generally speaking, you can't find many such coffins in the whole of China.

You see, the reason why it looks like this is mostly due to the death of the tomb owner."

There are signs of corpse transformation, or it may be that the enemy has plotted to suppress the skull, so the things in the ghost coffin are often better than the things in the ordinary coffin, which is understandable. " "Then what do you mean we touched this coffin?"

Although the place where we are at this time is called a town, it is large enough to reach a small city.

Although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, I don’t know how many people are watching here.

Just Liu Xuance and I can eat it.

I put down this coffin, but if someone discovers it, it will be troublesome.

"It's better for us to clean it up than to let some people who covet cultural relics clean it up.

Although it is absolutely impossible for us to hand it over to the country, after all, the contents of this coffin still have to be solved by the two of us."

Liu Xuance pursed his lips and spoke. said.

Hearing what Liu Xuance said, I couldn't help but nodded.

As he said, it can now be deduced that the corpse in the coffin is definitely not a good thing.

If you want to open the coffin, in the eyes of a layman, it must be It's going to cause a bloody storm.

Although there is talk of an archaeological engineering team now, I'm sorry, but in the eyes of traditional coffin-touchers, they are just laymen with good enough equipment and a bit of culture.

If they really encounter the ghosts of rice dumplings, they Something, I’m sure I was so scared that I lost my pants at that time.

"Why don't we do it tonight?"

Liu Xuance nodded and expressed his gratitude.

Since coffins can float up in the river, it can be concluded that there must be at least one ancient tomb nearby.

After discussing with Liu Xuance that we would do it in the evening, I went to some nearby markets to buy some tools.

Of course, the tools bought from here are undoubtedly rudimentary, and at most they are disposable things, but they are enough for us.

But when I arrived at the market, I discovered something strange.

That is, in this market, there are actually many people selling bright wares.

This shocked me.

With my eyesight, I could tell at a glance whether what these dealers selling antiquities were selling were real or fake.

But even I couldn’t help but exclaimed, they must have sold too many of them.

The whole thing is like an antique market.

I thought about the antiques sold from the Yellow River for a while, and most of them can be divided into three situations.

One is that due to various religious beliefs and other traditions, bronzes and other items from that time were sunk into the Yellow River.

In ancient times, the people on both sides of the Yellow River used almost all their methods to control floods in the Yellow River.

However, the flooding of the Yellow River was inherently The weather is uncertain, just like before the Ximen Leopard flood control, someone even threw a living woman into the river.

There are also some things that were thrown into the Yellow River such as copper oxen and iron horses or pottery figures that were used to stabilize the river.

Some of these things never saw the light of day, and some were accidentally salvaged by later generations.

The second type is shipwrecks.

Although the Yellow River is flooded, many people in ancient times had to take risks and enter the water in order to survive.

The ships at that time were definitely not as good as today, so it was common for ships to be wrecked and people killed.

There are countless skeletons and countless shipwrecks in the Yellow River.

However, because the waterway of the Yellow River only begins to level off in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, most of the shipwrecks are usually buried in the sand of the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

There should be almost none in this part of Shanxi Province, and even if there are, they are probably in the minority.

The third type is the most interesting.

In many places in the Yellow River, people have dug out some unspeakable things in the river or on the bank.

No one knows what they are, and no one knows about these things.

How did it sink into the river, but even uneducated people know that this is a good thing.

To put it bluntly, these things were dug out from the tomb.

I licked my lips, then casually found a stall, and quietly glanced at the stall owner.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man, honest and honest, wearing a felt hat, with his hands curled up in his sleeves.

In such weather, , not many people wear such clothes.

When he saw me arriving at his stall, the man grinned and asked me in substandard Mandarin: "Do you want anything?"

I casually touched two of them on my hand, and then said half-jokingly: "How can I sell this to my brothers?"

As soon as he heard that there was something going on, the man immediately twirled his felt hat, then pretended to be very knowledgeable and thought deeply, and finally said: "Brother, if you really want it, five hundred for one."

The man held out five sticks.

The palms were covered with calluses.

One look at these hands and I knew that this man must have been working in the fields.

It's just that five hundred a piece is really too cheap.

I dare not say that just one of them here can be sold for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but it is still easy to make a few thousand yuan.

I didn't hesitate.

I took out a bunch of red bills from my pocket and placed them directly on the stall: "Brother, this is two thousand yuan.

If you order it, I will have these two things.

But I am very curious.

Do you have these things?"

Where did you get it from?”

When the man heard that it was two thousand yuan, his eyes widened.

He quickly waved his hand and said that he couldn't use it.

He couldn't use it.

Why did he use so much?

But when I saw his eyes that were almost shining, he smiled knowingly and said, Put the money into his hand.

The man held the money in his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He turned his head and looked at the other stall owners who were looking at him with jealous eyes.

He scratched the back of his head and whispered to me: "Big boss, what are you talking about?"

It’s not convenient to say.”

I put the two antiques I picked randomly into my bag, then looked at him and said: "There's nothing bad to say.

If there's someone at home who doesn't have a drink with us, just say it.

If you're really trustworthy, I'll give you two more."

Thousand."

I stretched out two fingers, then bent down and showed him the pocket of red notes.

The man gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh: "hit":
