Chapter 62 - Chapter 63 Tang Dynasty Main Cemetery
Chapter 62-Chapter 63 The Main Cemetery of the Tang Dynasty
"What's the matter! Look at you, each one of you is bragging so loudly that your drums are about to burst. You act like a man touching a dog. Why am I a man? Would a man snatch the treasures of my ancestors? This is in the center of the Dragon Tomb.
Since the tomb is so exquisitely made, and the person surrounded by the three ancestors of your family is in the center, he must be the person your three ancestors want to protect. To put it bluntly, he is the lord of your three ancestors. Look at you, the elders of your three families
Our ancestors guarded the lord so loyally that they would guard him even to death. Look at you old men and men. You actually rob the lord's things. How shameful are you? I'm ashamed of you. Bah! You say it yourself.
Did I say no more?"
Ye Fan was indeed angry, and a group bloody conflict almost broke out. If it really happened, I would never think about turning over in this life. Therefore, his broken gong voice was particularly loud and harsh under the semiconductor sound transmission.
"No more! Leader Ye, you are right, we...we have disgraced our ancestors." Li Xuanshi was extremely embarrassed and kept scratching his head to cover up his ugliness. He turned to the Li family and shouted: "Damn! What a bunch of people!"
You idiot! You are trying so hard to snatch your ancestor’s precious egg, but you still won’t let me put it down, put it down!”
Ye Weiqiang, Wu Tianling, and Zhang Jushui also shouted to their own clansmen.
"Folks, put them all down and return them to the tombs. Those are all left by the lord of our ancestors. We should pay homage to our lord of our ancestors. If you offend your old lord like this, you will be punished by thunder. Look,
What have you done to the Dragon Qi in the Dragon Tomb? If the Dragon Qi is chaotic, Tianshui Bazi will be in chaos. Do you want to cause chaos? Eryazi, hurry up and light incense to worship. Let’s all apologize to the old lord and kowtow.
Bar……"
Ye Fan followed the trend and used his ancestor-respecting mentality to take the lead in lighting incense and kowtowing. After a while, the chaos finally calmed down. Some people grabbed a few coins and refused to return them, but under Ye Fan's dazzling light like a broken eagle, they finally calmed down.
Placed the silver ingot into the main cemetery.
Seeing this thrilling scene, Comrade Duan Hai showed admiration in his eyes for this relegated man who had just stepped out of the ivory tower of the county government. He thought to himself that Team Leader Ye was even younger than himself, and how could he handle such chores?
He really has a way of doing it. Those high-ranking deputy county magistrates and secretaries who used to be in the county government immediately turned their heads away when they saw the masses making trouble. And the two girls Chunshui and Ruomeng on the side had even darker eyes.
Overflowing with glory, as if his own man had won the championship.
"What a violent death!"
The walls of the tomb were forcibly smashed into the slope, and the cemetery was full of mud and messy like a garbage dump. Some pots and basins that were estimated to be cultural relics were also trampled or robbed and turned into rubble. Looking at the Tang Dynasty ancient tombs that had been looted in a mess, Ye Fan almost got angry.
Exploded lungs.
The tomb is indeed large, with the graves exposed above only being as big as a QQ car. It was probably a deliberate bunker built to conceal the public. The main room under the tomb is about 30 meters long and wide, and about 10 meters deep.
The four walls are all made of stones as big as a school desk. I don’t know how the ancestors at that time made such heavy stones. There is also a circle of about 30 centimeters in the inner layer of the stones, which is very large.
Super blue bricks. At that time, it was estimated that the cover of the tomb was cracked by the landslide due to the power of the explosives. That’s why the villagers smashed and pried it open. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to explode even with explosives.
It's open.
There were three gold and silver pots returned from the villagers, as well as a dozen silver ingots, but no gold ingots. A few ancient rough earthen pots, a bit like ancient pots for decoction. Although some of these things are rough, they are good.
It is also an antique, and the price of antiques is based on the year. A broken jar from the Shang Dynasty can be sold for several million, so it should be worth a lot of money. The most eye-catching one is of course the three-color statue that is nearly half a meter high and as long as a desk.
The golden horse looks even more colorful, majestic and attractive against the sunset.
The horse's golden color is mixed with some red and yellow colors. Although it has been eroded for more than a thousand years, it has not lost much of its magnificence. It appears to be radiant and rich. It reminded Ye Fan of Fei Group, fine
After checking for a while, I knocked it with my hand and made a squeaking sound. It felt like it should be pure gold, but it was hollow. If it were solid and such a big golden horse, it would be fine. I found a golden horse on the lotus throne.
Seal, engraved on it: Lu Dingzong's seal.
Ye Fan studied for a while and didn't come up with anything, so he simply ignored it, sighing in his heart.
No wonder the villagers couldn't help but want to loot. Don't say they couldn't help it. Even their own hearts were beating so hard. They were probably suffering from high blood pressure when they kept beating the drums.
The most special thing is that there is a medium-sized stone coffin in the center of the tomb chamber.
The entire stone coffin is a palace-like shape that is two rooms wide and two rooms deep. The overall structure consists of 3 coffin roofs, 6 corridor columns, 8 coffin boards, and 3 bases, a total of 20 ordinary granite stones.
This stone coffin is about 1.2 meters high, about 1.5 meters wide, and about 2 meters long. The stone coffin is carved with rough patterns such as human figures riding horses and shooting pictures, hunting animals, sentimental landscapes, birds, animals, insects and fish, etc., although the workmanship is relatively rough.
, but the characters in the pattern are very strange. Their clothing and other features show the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty people shown on TV.
The strangest thing is that the palm-sized figures carved on the face look a bit like the legendary heroes of Wagangzhai, the "Eighteen Heroes", the "Four Fierce Men", and the "Three Heroes" in the famous "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
"Weird". For example, Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao in Xifu, is particularly obvious. He has a lamp thousands of miles under his crotch and a pair of drums, urns and golden hammers that no one can offend. He is the first hero.
Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu, with a dragon-racing five-spotted horse under his crotch and a gold-plated phoenix wing in his palm, bravely fought through the three armies and was the backbone of the Sui Dynasty.
The statue of Shao Paulo is the largest and most majestic.
Luo Cheng, also known as Luo Shenqiang, has a small white western dragon on his hip and a five-hook divine flying silver spear in his palm! He has never lost a battle and is known as the "Victorious General"...
Ye Fan thought that this was simply an incredible treasure, and it was an important reference for studying the construction of Tang Dynasty architectural paintings and mausoleums. Looking at the traces of corners on the stone coffin that had been broken by the villagers, Ye Fan was so angry that he glared.
It wants to eat a living person alive.
He yelled: "Look what you have done? If you are really investigated, you will go to jail. These are precious cultural relics of the country..."
Then he hurriedly called back to Linquan Town. Secretary Qin and Cai Dajiang both instructed to protect the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty at all costs. Especially those cultural relics and coffins. The town has already reported to the superiors, and the armed police will not arrive until tomorrow morning.
Zhao Tiehai from the Linquan Town Police Station was ordered to arrive immediately. However, he heard that the roadbed of the small road to Tianshui Bazi was damaged and collapsed due to heavy rain. It was hard to say whether he could arrive on time. However, because of the discovery of the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty,
The town has organized manpower to repair it.
After discussing with several leaders of Wu Tianling, it was determined that the stone coffin could not be moved. It had to be left in its original place. For the sake of safety, it was decided that the leaders of the four families would organize a team of hundreds of young adults to guard the tomb around the clock at night.
As for the necessary expenses for meals, etc., they will all be reimbursed by the working group. The villagers sewed together some plastic films to cover the top of the tomb, and the official coffin was wrapped layer by layer.
The gold and silver basins, earthenware jars, and golden horse statues were moved back to the old palace. The working group, Ye Fan, took the lead, and the village selected 10 young men to patrol outside the old palace.
As for the treasures found in the ancestral tombs of the three families of Wu, Li, and Ye, Ye Fan also pretended not to know and left them to deal with them because they belonged to their owners. Generally speaking, these should be turned over to the state, but Ye Fan did not dare to say this. , if that were the case, I probably wouldn’t be able to leave this cemetery because the three families would be crazy about it.
After explaining these things, it was already dark. Fortunately, it stopped raining, otherwise it would have been really difficult.
Returning to the old palace, they put the Golden Horse and others in their rooms. The three of them ate in a hurry and discussed matters such as guarding at night. At this time, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really tired.
When I calmed down, I thought that Dean Lan Jiwen, the dean of the History School of Haijiang University, is a historical and archaeological madman. Because Ye Fan was still a member of the student union of the school at Haijiang University, he met Lan Jiwen by chance. Dean, I happen to have a business card in my hand.
Director Lan of the Tomb of the Tang Dynasty will definitely come over immediately if he knows about it, and people who know how to open this kind of stone coffin must be qualified, otherwise it will be a pity if it is opened and damaged randomly. As a national-level poverty-stricken county, Yuyang There is no talent in archeology.
So I called and said, "Is this Dean Lan?"
"Who are you? My dad is not free." An arrogant woman's voice hummed on the phone.
"I am Ye Fan, a student who graduated from Hainan University. If you have any urgent matters, please contact Dean Lan." Ye Fan said.
"I have no time to talk to you." With the woman's arrogant and angry voice, she hung up the phone with a 'pop'.
"My God, if a woman is so aggressive, she doesn't have to worry about whether she can get married in the future." Ye Fan cursed with anger.
After thinking about it, he called again. As soon as the other party got through to Ye Fan, he immediately shouted: "Tell Dean Lan that we have found an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty here. Come or not, I'll be waiting." .A woman who is so fierce is not afraid that no one will want her in the future, it’s true!”
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he snorted disdainfully, almost making the proud peacock on the other end of the phone angry to death.
"What are you talking about, you bastard! The ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty are real and fake." The woman squealed angrily, then she was startled and screamed.
This girl is Dean Lan Jiwen's daughter, Lan Tianzhu, a top student in the Journalism Department of Yenching University. She was assigned to work at the provincial newspaper Nanfu Daily in Shuizhou, the provincial capital, this year. As a reporter, the uncrowned king is still a provincial newspaper. Yes, it's normal to have some warping of the skin.
I heard that this woman was the second most beautiful girl in Yan University. She always had her eyes set on the top, and the flies chasing her didn't even have a battalion or a reinforced company.
However, Luo Hua deliberately shed water, but she was ruthless. She had always regarded the men in the world as dirt. Those poor people in Yan University who said grapes were sour when they couldn't eat them jokingly called her "Bing Chan", except for a few men among her closest relatives. She doesn't look down on other people at all, no wonder Ye Fan eats turtles. Maybe she is born allergic to men, and her male compatriots think that way.
"Khotan, who are you angry with? If a girl smiles without showing her teeth and speaks so loudly, she won't be afraid of Uncle Song's jokes, haha!"
From the living room came the laughter of Lanjiwenna and Wen, who were drinking tea and chatting with Song Chuhao, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Nanfu Provincial Party Committee. Because the two were classmates, they were actually not very old, only in their early 40s.
"My name is Ye Fan! He came out of nowhere and dared to scold me, huh..." At this point, Lan Tiezhu suddenly thought of something and stopped suddenly, and his face actually turned red.
"Oh! There are still people who dare to scold our princess, that's not bad. Tell me about the specific situation, how did he scold you? If he was a government employee, I would have to take off his hat, haha..."
Song Chuhao smiled heartily, making Miss Lantianzhu roll her eyes.
"Forget it! My Lord, I don't care about the faults of small people." Lan Tiezhu snorted proudly and turned around before remembering the real thing and said quickly: "Dad, that Ye Fan said he graduated from Hainan University. He said he found it at their place
I have visited the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty and am waiting for you on the other end of the phone. Do you want to answer the phone?"
"Tang Dynasty Tomb! You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lan Jiwen had already rushed to the phone and picked up the phone.
"Your name is Ye Fan? Where are you now? Where is the ancient tomb?" Lan Jiwen's series of words exploded like cannonballs, making Ye Fan panic for a moment. After all, the professor is so impressive!
"Professor Lan! My phone number is 906666. Please remember it. The phone is expensive and I can't afford it. This is the landline number of our village 0593＊＊＊. Please call me and I will take care of it, haha..."
Ye Fan was a little embarrassed and laughed twice. The phone he used to make a temporary call just now was the mobile phone given by Captain Li.
"Huh! Cheapskate! How can you be so stylish if you can't afford a portable bag?" Lan Tianzhu, who also heard it, snorted arrogantly.
"You kid, I have good intentions. How much money can a newly graduated student have? Maybe I borrowed my mobile phone to play. I can get several yuan a minute."
Dean Lan spoke a few words about his daughter and quickly called Lao Gong.
"Dean Lan, my name is Ye Fan. I am a graduate of Hainan University in 1995. Now I work in Tianshui Bazi, Linquan Town, Yuyang County. This afternoon, villagers dug out an ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty, and several gold and silver basins and tiles were unearthed in it.
Jars, etc. The most gorgeous thing is that a golden three-color horse as big as the table where the children in Nian'er Yuan sat was unearthed, with the three characters Lu Dingzong carved on it. I don't know who it is. There is also a pair of stone statues in the tomb.
The coffin looks like a miniature palace model. We are afraid of damage so we dare not open it. Tomorrow the leaders of the County Cultural Center will accompany the archaeologists from Moxiang City. I know you always like to study history, so I called you. Our village
The conditions are very difficult, so if you come, be prepared to bring some things, such as mineral water, clothes, and other daily necessities..."
Anyway, that's where the call came from, so Ye Fan explained the situation of digging graves in the village in detail.
"Oops! How could you do that, destroying natural treasures! This is simply a crime! Ye Fan, I have given you a task. You must protect the ancient tomb and stone coffin. I will contact the Provincial Archaeological Research Association and the Museum immediately
The comrades rushed down. Don’t open the coffin before we arrive, remember? If it’s damaged, will I take it from you?”
Dean Lan hated the fact that iron could not become steel and lost his grace, so he even yelled.
"Lao Lan, why are you so angry? Don't hurt your spleen and stomach." Song Chuhao, an old classmate next to him, advised.
"What do you think this is? The ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty were damaged by a group of villagers like this. I was so angry! Fortunately, Ye Fan is a good young man and stopped him in time. Old Song, I'm afraid there will be trouble tonight. That Jin
The three-color horse is estimated to be worth several million. It is unsafe to leave it in the village like that. I heard that it is made of pure gold and jade and is as big as a kindergarten table. Can you call the Yuyang County Public Security Bureau and send some money?
A policeman immediately rushed to Tianshui Bazi to protect the cultural relics..."
Dean Lan was so anxious that she begged an old classmate.
"Several millions, it doesn't look easy. I'll call Deputy Director Ma of the Provincial Department. It should be fine."
Song Chuhao also felt that the situation was a bit serious. It was certain that some people would get pink eye with good things worth millions. As he spoke, he picked up the phone and dialed the phone.
"Dad, I'll go with you."
The 'Bingchan' Lantian Zhumeimei, who has always looked down on the poor and lower-middle peasants, actually said that she wanted to go to the countryside of Tianshui Bazi. Dean Lan has a deep understanding of the hardships of farmers, the difficulty of traveling on rural mountain roads, and the harsh conditions.
.So Dean Lan Jiwen quickly reached out and touched his daughter's forehead. He thought his precious daughter had a fever.
"What are you doing, dad? I'm very energetic. Think about it, since the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty has been discovered, what a big news it is! So, I must unearth it before others. This is my first time in the province.
This is the first major event for a newspaper, and you don’t want those senior reporters from the provincial newspaper to poke my spine all day long and say that we relied on you to get into the provincial newspaper.”
Lantianzhu proudly raised his head like a cockfighting cock.
"Hey! Our little Khotan bamboo has grown up and has become more capable. Haha! Lao Lan, let this girl go down and experience the bitter taste of our Chinese farmers."
Song Chuhao winked at Lan Jiwen with a sly smile.
"Old Song, why don't you ask your girl to go to the countryside and experience life? The air in the countryside is much better than in the city! Haha!" Lan Jiwen smiled strangely.
"Haha! My girl is still young, maybe in a few years!" Song Chuhao looked stunned and pretended to smile.
"Hmph! You look down on me, do you mean that I can't endure hardship? This time I'll go to that Tianshui Bazi and squat for 10 days and a half to show you two adults. Who hasn't experienced hardship? It's a joke."
Lantian's bamboo head was raised even higher, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, as if a group of underground gangsters were about to go to their appointment with the god of death.
Hahaha……
The two middle-aged people were very happy.
night.
Anyway, he didn't sleep. Ye Fan was still thinking about the squatting golden horse. Apart from the four-character seal of "Lu Dingzong Seal", he really didn't find any other characters, let alone any historical records of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Tiehai brought 10 police officers, fully armed with electric batons, bayonets, pistols and other gadgets, and was about to leave for Tianshui Bazi when the alarm from the Linquan Town Government suddenly sounded, resounding through the sky, a bit like an air raid siren.
Soon the four oversized tin speakers of the town government rang:
"Dear staff and fellow villagers. There is a serious fire in Dongdangyang. Please hurry to Dongdangyang and follow the unified arrangements of the town leaders to put out the fire and rescue people. All work must be put aside. This is the order of Secretary Qin and Mayor Cai.
