Chapter 48

Although the technology in ancient times was not as good as today, some of the skills of the ancients are beyond the reach of today. Naturally, those who study archeology cannot think that the ancients were stupid. If they were stupid, how could they have the ability to push China to the top of the world in the past many years? Becoming the world's largest country is something that even contemporary society cannot achieve...

There are so many talented people in history. It is impossible that they were the only ones who noticed something was wrong after more than a thousand years. They were not the only ones who noticed that a period of history disappeared from people's eyes.

However, unfounded speculations can never be written down into official history until solid evidence is found, so there are many unofficial stories in history. But like this kind of historical gap, a dynasty or a period of time disappeared directly in front of people's eyes without any records. Even if someone had such speculation in ancient times, they would not dare to draw a conclusion, because it is really ridiculous, even as a modern person They didn't dare to make any assumptions. Maybe someone had made speculations in ancient times, but they didn't write it directly because there was no evidence. Just like the poem, they used other methods to express their doubts.

Qin Cheng briefly explained his thoughts to Wu Hai, "Pingyao should be the former capital of Daxu. Generally speaking, the imperial tombs of emperors are not far from the imperial city. We have already found out in Ninghua Village that there are only Those two big tombs, one is the emperor's mausoleum, and the other is... the queen's mausoleum..." At this point, Tan Cheng paused and continued: "There is only one mausoleum, so of course it cannot be the Daxu royal mausoleum. The location of the mausoleum.”

Wu Hai lowered his head and frowned and thought for a long time before continuing to ask.

"You suspect that there are also the tombs of other royal families of that dynasty in Pingyao. You want to find that tomb to see if there is anything in it that records that period of history? It's just that Pingyao is so big, and the entire county is close to Fenhe River. There are dozens of square kilometers at least. Where can you find it? And you can tell by looking at the architecture of the Ninghua Village Tomb. The construction method of this dynasty was to use the mountain as the tomb and build it by carving the mountain. This is different from covering the earth with the tomb. The mausoleum of the mausoleum.”

Indeed, compared to mausoleums covered with earth, mausoleums built out of mountains are much more difficult to identify. Mausoleums covered with earth are generally built in wider areas, and the tall rammed earth will naturally look like a plain and plain structure over time. It is a strange hillside, but if someone with some archaeological knowledge sees such an abrupt but regular hillside on the plain, they can almost conclude that it should be a mausoleum.

However, mausoleums built by carving mountains originally rely on naturally formed peaks. Some royal cemeteries are even set up in mountains. The only tools he and Wu Hai had could not detect that there was a mausoleum in the mountain.

The map Su Jingmo gave him was more specific and delineated a certain range for him, but Tan Cheng couldn't find those peaks when he compared them with the topographic map of Pingyao.

It’s not surprising, more than a thousand years have passed, especially the past hundred years of large-scale development, blasting away mountains to build roads, bulldozing mountains to expand and build cities...these symbols of the past The peak of sex is long gone.

"It can only come little by little. You saw the photo of the copper wine bottle that Wei Pengfei got on the train. You should also be able to tell that it was the wine bottle used in burials. Since someone can take something out of the tomb, I think We both should be able to do it.”

"Are you trying to use the holes dug by those people?"

Qin Cheng replied with a smile: "Of course. If you don't steal the cave, how can you go through the tomb passage openly? The tomb passage in the Ninghua Village Tomb is blocked by a huge strip of stone. If the mausoleum here is built in the same way , we really have no way to get in."

Wu Hai couldn't help but laugh and said: "We have become like tomb robbers. Well, where should we start? I have to listen to you. That time I went into the big tomb, I didn't even know it." When I had time to see it, I hurriedly took you to escape, but I didn’t know what was inside at all.”

Mentioning that time, Tan Cheng thought of what Su Jingmo mentioned about Tang Jiaming seeing him. It was impossible for Tan Cheng to really feel relieved. He just thought that Su Jingmo said that his worries would not have any effect. The only thing he can do to help is to get a rough idea of what's going on here and end it early, so he can go back early.

Thinking of this, Qin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "There is a town four kilometers west of Pingyao called Zhongdu Town. According to the pictures and descriptions I saw in the tomb, Zhongdu Town is no matter how close it is to the Fenhe River. The terrain is still similar to what is described in the picture. I want to go there first, but before that, I want to go to the antique market in Zhanglan Town, southwest of Pingyao County."

Since Pingyao is an ancient city, there are many such antique markets. The Jiexiu Zhanglan Antique City in Zhanglan Town is well-known in the country and has a wide range of categories. Everyone in this industry knows it. It's just that most of the fakes sold in the antique market are too deep, but occasionally you may encounter some real things among thousands of fakes, which requires understanding. Tan Cheng just wanted to try his luck, and there was no guarantee that he would come across something from Daxu's time.

Understanding Tan Cheng's plan, Wu Hai also nodded, "Let's go, I hope I can get some useful information."

Zhanglan Antique City is quite close to Pingyao Ancient City. There are many people during the National Day and taxis are not available. Tan Cheng can only take a taxi for 15 yuan and get there.

Zhanglan Antique City covers a large area and is full of antique buildings. The ancient buildings have two or three floors. Except for a few food and specialty shops, the rest are almost all antique shops. In the middle of the two rows of antique buildings is a spacious avenue, but this road is covered with antiques. Vendors from all walks of life have set up stalls on the spot, and they are separated into three crowded roads. These three roads are also crowded with tourists coming to 'Taobao'. There are many people here during the National Day, and the weather is also hot. enter

At that moment in Zhanglan Antique City, Tan Cheng’s ears began to tingle with the shouts, price negotiations, and noises from all walks of life. Three-quarters of the crowded crowd were men. The smell of sweat unique to men in the heat The flavor is simply at its best here.

"I'll go!" Wu Hai was stunned by the sea of people in front of him, "I really didn't know there were so many people in China who love antiques."

Qin Cheng looked at the man squatting in front of a stall full of miscellaneous items, playing with a snuff bottle. He saw the man nodding as he listened to the vendor introducing that a snuff bottle was an item from the Qianlong period and cost at least 1,000 yuan. He seemed to like it very much. That snuff bottle looks like.

Tan Cheng shook his head: "I'm afraid most of them are just joining in the fun."

The snuff bottle in the man's hand was rough in workmanship, smooth and beautiful on the surface, but very rough in the middle, and there were even signs of wear on the bottom. It looked like a current replica, and you could probably buy it in some boutiques for 20 yuan. Besides, how can you come to Shanxi to buy things from the Qianlong period? It’s not that there aren’t any here, but it’s better to go to Beijing. I checked online and found out that this Lanzhen store mainly sells things from the Wei and Jin Dynasties… ...

Wu Hai looked around and couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "I'm afraid it's true. I've seen it a lot. It's basically giving away money."

Don't say it, that sentence is really right. If you want to know how to distinguish real jade from fake jade, you will know if you touch the real one. They study archeology. Although the ones dug out of the ground are all 'national', they don't have any It’s just one piece, but after all, the ones I’ve touched are all real ones. Over the years, the patterns, feel, and appearance have long been engraved in my bones and blood. Many things can be judged to be genuine or fake at a glance.

There are many people in the antique market, and looking at this kind of thing is the most time-consuming. Therefore, the crowd moves more slowly, but Tan Cheng is not in a hurry. This speed is just right to see if there is anything he is looking for.

Almost two hours later, Tan Cheng and Wu Hai had only moved less than fifty meters. On the one hand, they did see some old and valuable things. They looked pretty good. Naturally, Tan Cheng and Wu Hai were not happy. Will be missed.

Just because they are knowledgeable does not mean that the seller is stupid. How can he not know which of his pile of fakes is genuine? I keep my eyes there all the time, fearing that some thief will take advantage of me.

Qin Cheng looked at the black and blue hosta. The texture was very delicate, and the feel was very warm. The luster was soft, simple and clean, and the workmanship was meticulous. There was not much decoration. It only had a few carvings, but it looked like a bouquet of Clivia ink. And this was pure warmth. The ink color only reminded Tan Cheng of the person with the word ink in his name.

Black sapphire is a kind of sapphire in Hetian jade. Under a strong flashlight, the black and green light shines through. Under natural light, the best black sapphire looks pure black.

This is the real thing, although it is not from the second year of Hongwu's reign as the seller said.

"Twenty thousand yuan is too expensive. This is only from the late Qing Dynasty. It is estimated to be more than a hundred years ago. It is not a treasure."

The middle-aged man setting up the stall also knew that the young man in front of him who looked easy to deceive was really knowledgeable. He simply said: "Look at the texture of this jade, it is definitely good jade. I will not lower the price. This is the real thing. If you don’t buy it and put it down, someone will buy it.”

Tan Cheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was using the aggressive method, and smiled: "Black sapphire is not as popular as white jade, so it would be great if you could sell it." At this point, Tan Cheng put down the hosta and stood up to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute!" The middle-aged man still hasn't been able to sell anything. He bought this jade hairpin for 2,000 yuan when it looked like it was genuine. However, black jade is not easy to sell after all. He This has been on display for a long time and no one asked, but the fake jadeite made of glass sold a lot...

"Then ten thousand yuan." Sell it if you can. The black jade doesn't look very good when displayed, and no one will buy it.

Tan Cheng looked at the boss with a smile but said nothing.

"Six thousand, no more."

"Two thousand five hundred yuan." After Qin Cheng told the price, he walked to the stall and said before the vendor was about to get angry: "Sell it to me, and then I can help you find some real things in this store."

Don't say this, it really made the middle-aged man's heart flutter. He could see that the person in front of him knew the business, and knew better than him. Maybe he could ask this person to help find some good stuff...

After thinking about how much this black hosta still earned, the man nodded, "Okay, I got something some time ago. You can help me see how much it's worth." After saying that, the man got off the stool. He took out a jade ring from the box, held it carefully, and asked:

"Can you tell me how much this thing is worth? I think it's dated, but it doesn't look like the stuff that was available in the Tang Dynasty. Could it be a fake?"

The jade ring is completely translucent, with some mud penetrated into the slight wear marks. There are dragon patterns carved on the outside of the ring...

What surprised Tan Cheng was not that the jade ring was authentic, but that it was almost exactly the same as the one on Su Jingmo's thumb...

The author has something to say: Qin Cheng will not...(oh no!)
