In modern times, many characters have become dead scripts. In addition to Tangut, there are also Manichae, Jurchen, Turkic, Lit, Tocharian, etc. These small languages were only spread within a small area in those days, and they are not worth mentioning.
It is called the least popular among the unpopular. There are some people in China who study these texts, but almost no one can read them thoroughly.
After these researchers get the text samples, they still need to compare, analyze, and verify them, rather than just reading them at a glance.
"Hereby orders Gu,"
What's the meaning?
This is a list that Xiguatou asked someone from the Wisdom Sect to decipher. Xiguatou also asked an expert to decipher it a few days ago.
Now we just need to wait for the results on this side of the head to come out and see if the two sides can match up.
If the person who is looking for the head is deciphered and has the words "Ci", "Ling" and "Gu", it means it is correct. This is called cross-corroboration.
At around one o'clock in the evening, we sailed in the dark and visited Kirishima three times.
Before setting off, I had to bring two sets of wetsuits with me. We haven’t used wetsuits for a while, and we asked Dr. Song’s husband to get them from Sea World.
The fog on the island caused us trouble, but it also increased our concealment.
If there is a ship passing by the waters around the island in the middle of the night, as long as you are not looking through a telescope, you will most likely not be able to see the looming flashlight light in the fog.
....
"Brother Yu, try not to shake it, and make sure the shelf is level." I reminded.
Xiaoxuan wore headphones on her head, carried her backpack on her back, and kept her eyes on the indicator light of the host computer.
This made people who didn't know see it, and they might have thought we were clearing mines with something.
"stop!"
"Response! Here!" Xiaoxuan suddenly shouted.
"Brother Yu! Stop!"
"Have the lights changed?" I asked nervously.
"Changed! Red light!"
Carrying the shelf, I took ten steps forward and then five steps back. I asked Xiaoxuan where the sound was the loudest.
“This is it!”
Xiaoxuan was very sure, pointing to the open space about one meter in front of me and said.
Excavate immediately.
The bean sprouts were very fast, and a large amount of loess mixed with small particles of gravel was turned up.
Just over ten minutes later, Dou Sprout suddenly shouted: "There is something!"
His shoveling frequency increased again.
Just listen to the "dang" sound!
This is when the shovel hit a metal object.
The bean sprouts immediately switched to pulling with their hands.
Soon, an erect "iron ear" appeared in front of us.
"Look! I said there must be more!"
I'm very excited.
Everyone came because they believed in me. If I release it and it doesn’t come true, it would be the same as losing face.
"Nine cylinders, seven boxes and eighteen pots", this legend that has been circulating for 800 years is true!
By the same token, it can be seen that the "Lilquered Cloth Sutra" is most likely true!
Dou Sprout quickly cleared away the floating soil around the "Iron Ear", only to see a large iron pot exposed in the soil that was exactly the same as the one we dug before.
The inside of the big iron pot is filled with soil, and you can vaguely see the "money string" exposed in the soil.
Soil, rust, copper coins, and iron pots grow together. At first glance, they look half red and half yellow. This is what people in the industry call deep pit iron pot rust.
As I said before, Qiandao Lake has a humid climate. Generally, money jars come out with the kind of hard green rust, but it is rare to see the typical iron pot rust.
From this situation, I deduce that there should have been a wooden lid on the iron pot, but it was rotten. Rainwater seeped down through the cracks in the soil over the years, and finally it became like this. The condition of the pot being buried and preserved is not optimistic. It is not as good as the above.
one.
"Fengzi, how much does this pot weigh approximately?"
"I think it's at least 500 kilograms. It's heavily soiled, and soil accounts for one-third of the weight."
"The last iron pot weighed more than 300 kilograms and I was so tired that the boat almost turned over when we were transporting it back. Can we move this 500 kilograms?"
Xiaoxuan said to Douyazai: "Last time you were cheating and playing tricks, but you were not strong enough."
"I helped Zhao Xuanxuan!"
I said: "You guys have no experience. It takes the most effort to get the pot out of the pit. Once it comes out on flat ground, it will be easy. Let's expand the pit first, build a 40-degree slope, and then slowly move it up the slope."
, just move half a meter of stone as a cushion, it won’t be a big problem.”
"What a great idea Mineko! Let's do it!"
As soon as Dou Sprout finished speaking, Brother Yu said, "Let me try it first."
Brother Yu handed the flashlight to Xiaoxuan and jumped directly into the pit.
He took a deep breath, squatted down from a horse stance, exerted force on his feet, and twisted outwards.
Dou Sprout made a fuss and shouted: "It's moving, it's moving! Get up!"
I also saw the iron pot moving.
Brother Yu groaned, and he folded his arms! He actually slowly lifted the entire huge army cauldron out of the soil!
Immediately, Brother Yu put his face against the iron pot and supported it with his shoulders! His legs gradually stood up straight.
Seeing the veins popping up on Brother Yu’s forehead and his eyes turning red, I shouted: “Help!”
With the combined efforts of five people, the marching pot was finally removed.
It hit the ground with a thud!
Brother Yu put his hands on his knees and gasped: "This... this is more than five hundred catties, I guess... seven hundred catties at least."
I was shocked, seven hundred kilograms... This was much heavier than I expected. Is the army pot filled with copper coins or stones?
Brother Yu deserves to have a hard-working background. He can carry something weighing 700 kilograms with all his strength. I definitely can't. My limit is about 300 kilograms.
"Head, Yunfeng, take a look."
At this time, Xiaoxuan looked at the night sky and said nervously.
I looked up with the flashlight and frowned.
"Why are there so many birds and crows? We didn't see any crows on the island last time."
Dou Sprout looked up and said: "We saw it when we first went to the island, but not so many. What's going on?"
It was Xiaoxuan who noticed this scene first. The moment the marching pot was dug out and landed, many crows gathered in the air. Because it was foggy at night, these crows loomed in the fog and circled around us. We couldn't see how many there were, but
You can hear the unpleasant cry of "wow wah wah".
Faced with such an abnormal phenomenon, I asked the boss what was going on?
The head also looked puzzled. Before he could speak, suddenly, a black crow swooped towards us.
Then the second one, then the third one...
"ah!"
"Go away!"
Xiaoxuan screamed, and Douyazai held the shovel in his hand as a weapon, cursed all sorts of dirty things, and swung the shovel hard.
"Brother Yu! Look at Xiaoxuan!"
I grabbed one and threw it to the ground, shouting with red eyes, because I saw at least dozens of them surrounding Xiaoxuan's head and back!
These crows flapped their wings like crazy and besieged Xiaoxuan! In comparison, although we men were also attacked, the overall number was much smaller!
Brother Yu was the closest. He rushed over with two strides and threw Xiaoxuan down. At the same time, he put his hands on the ground and protected Xiaoxuan tightly under his body.
"Get your head! Get your head!!"
In panic, I found that the head that was there just now was missing!
Because Xiaoxuan was pinned down, Brother Yu became the main target of attack. I saw that the clothes on his back were torn! But Brother Yu remained in that position, lying motionless on the ground.
Dou Sprout is smart! He covered his head with clothes and jumped directly into the two-meter-deep pit where the military pot was dug!
"Squat down!"
Suddenly a shout from the boss came from behind me. Without thinking, I immediately squatted down on the spot.
I don't know where I got a torch from, and black smoke was rising from the burning torch. I held the torch and waved it, and immediately drove away a lot of crazy crows.
"Run! Run to the cave!" He shouted loudly to all of us.
