"Haha, we are just tired from practicing and just having fun!" As I said this, I glanced at Jianjian. He immediately understood and hurriedly put away the chessboard, stood up, and said with a playful smile: "Hey, sister-in-law.
Why are you and uncle here?"
Dong Xiaodan said angrily: "I've brought you some good stuff!" After she said that, she took out a large bag of stuff from her handbag and threw it on the coffee table.
I hurried forward and opened the bag and saw that it was a large bag of dried red dates.
Jianjian also knew that they went to Lop Nur and said with a smile: "Haha, this is really a gift from a thousand miles!"
Although I have long heard that Xinjiang’s red dates are famous, I never expected that they would come to the door specially to send such a pack of red dates, and said hurriedly: "Uncle Dong, you are too polite, why bother?"
You specialize in..."
Just when I was halfway through my words, Dong Xiaodan interrupted me: "Don't you really think that we came to you just to give you a pack of red dates? Didn't you see that my dad is here too!"
I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses and hurriedly asked Professor Dong: "Uncle Dong has something to ask us?"
Professor Dong smiled and nodded and said: "There is indeed something. After thinking about it, I think I should come to you for advice. After all, you are experts in this field."
I didn't expect Professor Dong to be so polite, which made me a little embarrassed. I quickly said: "Uncle Dong, you are too polite. What are you asking for advice? If you have anything to do, just tell me."
Dong Xiaodan also said at the side: "That's right, Dad! Why are you and them so polite? Just say it."
"Haha, if that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth. This time we went to Lop Nur to investigate and found something."
"What?" I asked.
Without saying a word, Professor Dong took out a bulging black plastic sealed bag about one foot square from his bag. I have seen this kind of plastic sealed bag before, and it is specially used to contain cultural relics. It is completely opaque.
It is airtight, and the interlayer is made of sponge, which can effectively treasure cultural relics just excavated from the ground or ancient tombs.
"Open it and see what's inside!" Professor Dong smiled and handed the plastic sealed bag to me.
"Just open it like this?" I was a little surprised. Although I am not good at cultural relics, I also know that if a cultural relic is directly exposed to the air, it may cause irreversible damage to the cultural relic. Professor Dong is like this
It is impossible for an expert in this field not to know this. I thought he was negligent, so I went out of my way to confirm with him.
Professor Dong nodded and said, "Just open it!"
Since he was sure that it could be opened directly, I had no worries, so I opened the plastic sealed bag in my hand, looked inside, and found that it seemed to contain a black stone.
"What is this?" I raised my head and asked.
"Take the things out and take a look!"
I took the thing out of the sealed bag, held it in the palm of my hand and took a closer look. It was really a stone, but this stone was quite special. It was completely black and gave people a crystal clear feeling.
When I saw this stone, I first thought of donkey hide gelatin, which is made from donkey skin. It is quite similar, but judging from its weight and feel, it is basically a stone.
The stone was about the size of a palm. I weighed it in my hand and asked curiously: "Is this the rough stone of some kind of gem?"
Professor Dong replied: "To be honest, I thought it was a rough black gemstone at first, because judging from its appearance alone, it is as high as 80% similar to black gemstones from Malaysia. But later I discovered that,
This stone has a strong magnetic field."
"This thing also has a strong magnetic field!?" I couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Professor Dong nodded: "I tested it with a magnetic detector and found that the magnetic field emitted by this stone is very strong. Generally speaking, unless it is something with very strong energy, it will emit such a strong magnetic field.
"
"There is such a thing!?" I couldn't believe it. Out of curiosity, I immediately went to get a compass. According to Feng Shui, the magnetic field actually belongs to the yin and yang aura, so if this stone really has
If the magnetic field is very strong, the compass will definitely undergo some unusual changes.
I placed the stone on the coffee table, then placed the compass next to the stone. When I looked at the pointer of the compass, I couldn't help but be surprised. I saw that the pointer on the compass was spinning rapidly.
This was the first time I encountered this situation, and the humble guy on the side even screamed: "Holy crap! What kind of stone is this? It makes the compass explode!"
Not to mention, the word "explosive" is quite appropriate to describe it.
I was worried that the magnetic field emitted by this stone would damage the compass and affect its accuracy. I quickly took the compass aside, raised my head and asked Professor Dong: "Uncle Dong, do you want this stone?"
Where did it come from?"
Professor Dong replied: "Actually, I knocked this stone off from a large stone."
"What do you mean?" I was slightly startled.
"This is what happened." Professor Dong told me and Jianjian.
It turned out that they discovered an ancient city buried under the yellow sand in Lop Nur. Because this ancient city is not far from the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, less than 100 kilometers away, the cultural relics department believes that it may be a city affiliated with the ancient Loulan Kingdom, and
It was believed that through the investigation of this ancient city, the mystery of the sudden disappearance of the ancient Loulan country might be revealed. So a group of well-known domestic archaeological experts were organized to conduct an investigation in Lop Nur, and Professor Dong was one of them.
During the investigation, they discovered that in the center of the ancient city, there was a square building shaped like an altar. Around the altar, they also found many skeletons and remains. It felt like something suddenly happened during a memorial ceremony.
What kind of unexpected disaster? On top of this altar, there is a huge stone about two meters high, black and crystal clear. This huge stone has no traces of artificial carving, but the stone is quite
special,
That kind of stone has never been seen locally, or even in the entire Xinjiang region. The expedition team was originally going to study the boulder, but when they got close to the boulder, the expedition team members fell to the ground as if they had been cursed.
, but the strange thing is that only Professor Dong was not seriously injured. At that time, Professor Dong did not care so much and hurriedly dragged the expedition team member who fell to the ground aside, and took out an awl to knock off a small piece of stone from the boulder.
piece.
Later, after testing such a small piece of stone, it was discovered that it has a very strong magnetic field, which means that the huge stone has an unimaginable magnetic field. It is no wonder that the expedition team cannot get close. The human body is subject to strong
Radiation from magnetic fields may even be life-threatening. As for why Professor Dong was not affected by strong magnetic fields, it cannot be explained.
Due to unexpected events, in order to protect the personal safety of the expedition members, the expedition had to be terminated early, and Professor Dong and Dong Xiaodan returned from Xinjiang. However, Professor Dong did not give up, he wanted to find out about the huge stone
What was going on? I had a vague feeling that it might be related to the theory of yin and yang auras. I thought I was an expert in this field, so I came to me with stones.
After listening to what Professor Dong said, my curiosity was suddenly aroused, and I quickly asked: "Do you have any other special discoveries?"
Professor Dong replied: "We have excavated many cultural relics there. From the cultural relics excavated, we can infer that it should be an ancient city more than 600 years ago. It is indeed inextricably linked to the ancient city of Loulan."
"Is there any corresponding record about that black boulder?" I asked again.
Professor Dong shook his head: "That's not true. I don't know where that black boulder came from." After saying this, Professor Dong paused and then changed the topic randomly: "It's just that we were on that boulder.
A sheepskin scroll was found in the hands of a corpse next to it. The sheepskin scroll was filled with ancient Western texts, and
The back seems to be a map, but because it is too old and has been buried under the yellow sand for many years, the sheepskin scroll has been severely worn, and the text and map on it can no longer be seen clearly. Now professionals
We are using the latest technology to restore this scroll, and I believe it will be completed soon."
"Sheepskin scroll!? Could it be some kind of treasure map?" Upon hearing that she found a sheepskin scroll, Jianjian immediately became energetic.
Professor Dong smiled and said: "It is indeed possible, and my intuition tells me that there may be some connection between the huge stone with a strong magnetic field and the sheepskin scroll."
"You mean that the parchment scroll may record the origin of that huge stone?"
Professor Dong nodded and then asked me: "By the way, I came here to ask you, do you know of any natural stones that have a special yin and yang aura?"
I thought for a moment and suddenly thought of a kind of stone. I immediately raised my head and said, "Hey! Do you think it could be a soul stone?"
"Soul stone?" Professor Dong was slightly startled at first, then slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of that! Yes, that huge stone may really be a soul stone!"
As soon as he heard about the soul stone, Jianjian immediately thought of the soul stone coffin, turned to me and said, "Isn't that coffin found in the ancient tomb next to your school said to be made of soul stones!?"
I nodded: "Yes! It is said that the soul stone can absorb people's souls, so ordinary people can't get close to it. Moreover, the soul stone is also black and crystal clear. Judging from these characteristics, I think what Uncle Dong said
That huge black stone is most likely a soul stone."
