Chapter 431 The Golden Scepter of the Wing King
The rumbling sound seemed to have never stopped, lasting from around nine in the morning to noon. The first archaeological reinforcement team arrived successfully, and a group of soldiers were also transported over. Their main job was to protect.
Li Mo stood on the big slope, with Shibin beside him. This kid didn't know where he went to train. His skin was even darker, but his energy was getting better and better.
Not far in front of them was the first archaeological reinforcement team, led by an expert in his fifties, who were conducting further surveys of the surrounding terrain.
"Brother, how come I heard that you did something in Shaanxi last month, and this month you went to Sichuan to hunt for treasures. I'm impressed by you, you are so energetic, and you can always find something accurately.
.”
"You can still mess around while you're young, but when you get older you don't have the energy to mess around. By the way, where did you train? This black guy, it's like you've changed into a different person."
"I have been training in the desert for two months, and I have only been back to the army for two days. Yesterday, I was transferred here with a phone call. By the way, when I first came here, I saw the top of the mountain and a small half piece of roasted pig. It couldn't be
Is it a wild boar caught here? It will only taste delicious if it is roasted properly, seasoned, and paired with a little wine."
"Go up and have something to eat at noon. I also have a bottle of wine hidden in my tent for you to quench your thirst."
Shibin shook his head and said: "I won't drink at noon, but I can have a drink in the evening. But brother, I think this place is a mixed layer of stone and soil, and it will be quite troublesome to dig it out."
"Manual digging is definitely not possible. Look at the archaeological reinforcements. After they complete the survey, they will report to their superiors based on the situation. I guess a helicopter will be needed to bring in an excavator. At that time, the efficiency will be very high."
Shibin looked at the surrounding environment, nodded and said: "With the latest helicopter's carrying capacity, it is not difficult to send an excavator. But if you are really sure that the treasure below is Shidakai, don't make such a big fuss. In the end,
Oolong.”
"Don't worry, I know it well. So far I have dug out fifteen gold ingots with my own hands. I also accidentally found a Yongzheng kiln artifact from the Qing Dynasty that was packed in a golden nanmu box at the market at the foot of Shanwangping.
The authentic glazed pomegranate porcelain. I heard from the seller that his late father dug it here when he was young."
Li Mo gave him a reassuring look, and then pointed to the cliff in the distance.
"I guess Shi Dakai's real treasure trove is under that cliff. Later, due to earthquakes and mudslides, the treasure trove was also implicated, and part of the treasure was washed out with the mudslides. We now place the large slope formed by the mudslides
Dig it up and you will find the real treasure."
"Teacher Li, please come here."
Professor Zhou, the archaeological expert who led the team from Sichuan University, waved to Li Mo, then handed the data book recorded in his hand to Li Mo, and said kindly: "Judging from the terrain, we must have the help of an excavator. And we need to be fast.
, this archaeological project must be completed within one and a half months. Judging from the water situation records in Sichuan, floods may come down in about fifty days, so time is still relatively tight.”
"Professor Zhou, I already thought about this problem yesterday. Without further ado, let's apply for support from our superiors."
"Okay, you can take the lead in this matter, and I can cooperate with you." Professor Zhou pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had heard of this legend for a long time. Through his hands, he bought the goods in less than two years.
Too many first-class national treasures have been produced.
I just searched for it myself, and I also found the treasure of the Overlord of Western Chu that shocked the world. The Shang and Zhou Dynasty Pearls, the Spring and Autumn Period and the He's Bi that were born in it are definitely historical events that will be forever recorded in the annals of history.
Later, the prehistoric writings unearthed from the Yunshan Neolithic cultural site further advanced the recorded history of civilization by thousands of years, and also found the precursor stage of the evolution of oracle bone inscriptions.
As for the subsequent return of European national treasures and the grand discussion at the Bay Island Museum, each piece can make people's hearts surge and get excited.
All of this was done by the young man in his early twenties.
I have never seen a real person, so I don’t know how powerful a real person is. When he saw the legend in the antique world, Professor Zhou was in a trance, feeling that there really were monsters in this world.
Li Mo didn't refuse. If he communicated about this matter, it would save a lot of detours. Shibin only needed to coordinate.
"Professor Zhou, since the excavator hasn't arrived yet, how about we dig it out ourselves first? I always think that buying lottery tickets doesn't feel like much, but when the lottery is drawn, people are always full of expectations. Yesterday, I dug out fifteen pieces of gold.
Yuanbao, maybe we can dig out other antique cultural relics today."
"Haha, that's what I meant. How about we extend it along the hole you dug?"
Li Mo said well, in fact there are a lot of good things scattered around the pit, and they should be antiques with more value and connotation than gold ingots.
He had more than a dozen shovels brought to him, rolled up his sleeves and started working first. A group of people took action immediately. For about half an hour, Li Mo was suddenly blocked by something as he shoveled down. He knew that there was a big cargo below, so he wiped the shovel.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he said with a wry smile: "They are all stones, it is too difficult for us."
"Hahaha, you young people have good physical strength. At my age, I can't bear such trouble." Professor Zhou kept working. After all, he was in his fifties and had never done any physical work. At this time, he was half digging.
Of course I couldn't stand it when I was young.
Li Mo dug a few times from the side with a shovel, then suddenly threw the shovel aside and squatted down to pull out a rectangular box from the soil.
"Professor Zhou, we have a new discovery."
Professor Zhou and others quickly gathered around and saw Li Mo cleaning the dirt on the surface of the rectangular wooden box with a brush.
"Teacher Li, the material of this wooden box is a bit unusual. It has not rotted after being buried here for more than a hundred years. You can add some water and wipe it to see what kind of wood it is."
Professor Zhou opened a bottle of mineral water and carefully poured some water on it. Li Mo wiped it carefully and finally revealed its true face. The color, texture, and smell of the wood all showed that it was still made of golden nanmu.
wooden box.
"The emperor of trees, golden nanmu!"
Professor Zhou couldn't help shouting, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Wooden boxes made of golden nanmu to store things are simply outrageous luxury. This golden nanmu is only qualified to be used by the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. Others
If someone uses it, it is tantamount to treason and rebellion. This is a capital crime that requires confiscation of the home and beheading. Li Mo, wipe it clean with a cloth and open it to see what is inside."
Li Mo repeatedly wiped the surface of the wooden box several times. The lock on it had long been rusty and stained, and it was severely corroded. He took out a pair of needle-nose pliers from his bag, clamped it and gently turned it twice.
The buckle comes off easily.
Opening the lid of the box, the inside was wrapped in silk, but after so many years, the silk had long since decayed and turned into dark gray.
"Teacher Li, use a clamp."
Professor Zhou hurriedly handed him a clamp, which was a professional tool. Li Mo used the clamp to open several layers, revealing a stick about fifteen centimeters long and made entirely of gold.
He carefully took it out of the wooden box and observed it carefully.
It is said to be a golden stick, but it is actually more like the golden scepter mentioned in the book.
The only difference is that the golden scepter in front of you does not have too many complicated and gorgeous patterns on the surface. It only has some auspicious clouds carved on both ends, and there are two rows of block letters carved in the middle of the scepter.
One column said: Heaven's mandate.
One column said: King Yi accepted the order.
Professor Zhou squatted down unconsciously, staring at the two columns of words with his eyes wide open, as if he was almost out of control.
Chapter completed!
