Chapter 452 The legendary treasure!
Seeing everyone dragging the cultural relics back from the secret room, Zhuoma, who was counting the goods in the tent, suddenly lit up.
He immediately came up with a smile and said, "Did you find something good in there?"
"Go, it has nothing to do with you."
Wang Jinpeng's nostrils were stuffed with toilet paper, which he dug out with his life.
He couldn't trust Zhuoma and his party at all. Since Lin Ran was here, of course he had to ask Brother Lin to take a look first!
Lin Ran was also a little groggy due to inhaling mercury. Fortunately, he took the medicine given by A Ming and temporarily recovered.
"Is there any way to quickly reduce the concentration of mercury vapor?" Lin Ran asked A Ming.
"Perhaps we can consider the method of precipitation, and send a large amount of water to the ninth floor to dilute the mercury." A Ming replied.
It will probably take at least a year or so for it to evaporate naturally.
It must have been taken over by the museum by then, and there were still some cultural relics inside, but he didn't even take a glance at it.
"Then let's try it." Liu Jingfeng was about to send workers to do it, but Lin Ran stopped him.
"No, there are still a lot of stone sculptures below. If they are washed with water, their original appearance will be destroyed." Lin Ran rejected the proposal.
Fortunately, the density of mercury is high, so it will only sink to the bottom of the tower and will not affect the exploration of other layers.
If a hole can be drilled in the ninth floor to allow the mercury vapor to evaporate, it should be done within a month!
After thinking about it, maybe this is also God's decision. It is better to leave the contents to the museum for exploration.
After all, they have already made too much money from this trip!
People, you still shouldn’t be too greedy!
Don’t lose your true heart!
After a short rest and regaining his energy, Lin Ran couldn't wait to place the cultural relics they took out on the table and appreciate them one by one.
Although I know they are all cultural relics from Tuyuhun, the handicrafts inside are not necessarily contemporary works.
For example, with the village chief around, they could easily recognize the words on the gold seal of the king he held in his hand.
It was Murong Fu!
This seal was the treasure that was placed carefully next to the corpse.
At the same time, the true identity of the tomb owner was revealed, confirming Lin Ran's conjecture.
Although this pure gold seal was very valuable, Dolma was even willing to pay [-] yuan to buy it on the spot.
But Lin Ran decided to sell it to the museum. According to the local living standards, it should only be sold for one-tenth of the price. However, it can help them understand the history of the Holy Tower and restore the truth. It does not matter if it is a small loss.
So I refused without thinking and put the seal in a separate box.
Wang Jinpeng couldn't wait to say to Lin Ran: "Look at the golden sword I brought out! It's so cool."
"it is good!"
Lin Ran smiled, and in the tomb, Wang Jinpeng carried out the cultural relics most desperately.
He originally thought it was just an ordinary golden sword.
However, when he saw the whole picture clearly, he froze on the spot.
"This..." Lin Ran was speechless.
Because in a previous life, this sword was collected in the British Museum, and there was only half of it!
Now it has fallen into his hands!
A golden sword with a beetle pattern!
I can only describe the artifacts in front of me as breathtaking!
The whole body of the sword is made of gold. The hilt is like a gold ring, with a hollow interior and engraved snake patterns on both sides.
The workmanship is intricate and exquisite and extremely gorgeous!
When I saw it in my previous life, only the hilt was left.
Due to its incredible exquisiteness, experts speculate that it is just a semi-finished product, or an accessory for the sword.
But now, what appeared in front of Lin Ran was a complete golden sword with a flat chi pattern!
The hilt is 35 centimeters and the blade is [-] centimeters.
Both the blade and tip are chipped and straight.
There are no rust holes on the blade surface, and the pattern on the sword body is like a panchi, which is perfectly integrated with the sword body and is extremely smooth.
The spine of the sword is straight and has blood grooves, which are straight and even.
The blade is flat, so it is obviously a sword that can really be used to kill enemies, not a decoration!
"Brother Lin, what do you think of this sword?" Wang Jinpeng asked curiously. When Lin Ran held this sword, it actually gave him the feeling of a knight.
When Lin Ran was about to put the sword into the scabbard, he realized that one accessory was missing.
Sighing: "It's a pity, there is still a part missing."
"This golden sword was made during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Judging from the pattern and format, it should belong to the Qin State."
"I speculate that the first owner of this golden sword was Qin Jinggong, the ancestor of Qin Shihuang!"
The others looked in disbelief.
"I'm just speculating, but it must be a cultural relic from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and for some reason it fell into the hands of Tuyuhun Khan."
Lin Ran returned the golden sword to Wang Jinpeng, and the others suddenly became interested and wanted to grab the sword to look at it.
But a sword made of pure gold is not so easy to pick up.
It was difficult for Zhenbao to lift the sword with both hands, and said: "Damn, the ancients made such a heavy sword, this thing is invincible on the battlefield."
"That's not the case. Gold is not suitable for making swords, not because it is heavy, but because it is not soft enough." Lin Ran said, "On the battlefield, what you want to kill is the enemy, not the weapon in his hand. Although gold is The king of metals, but not the king of weapons. This golden sword is more effective in boosting morale."
Now that the golden sword has been recovered, its origin may also surface over time.
No longer like the previous life, it will become an eternal secret!
The other cultural relic in my hand is also very interesting.
The full name is Unicorn Winged Horse Gold Piece!
It looked like a broken mirror, and in the center was a unicorn with wings.
The format is particularly Tang Dynasty style, made of pure gold, weighing half a kilogram and five meters in length and width.
This is an item that was pinned to the saddle when riding a horse in ancient times.
As the national treasure of Tuyuhun, horses' decorations should be carried with them even after death.
They are all national treasure-level cultural relics!
Lin Ran couldn't help but rub his hands together. Not only did he make a lot of money, but he also broadened his horizons.
"Brother Lin, you can say that the horse is their national treasure, but how do you explain this snake?" Liu Jingfeng took out a wooden sculpture of a snake with some confusion.
This wood carving looks strange, the wood used shows no signs of decay after such a long time.
Moreover, the snake was made lifelike, exactly like the stone sculpture they saw on the sixth floor.
What's even more exaggerated is that the snake's scales are all made of jade, as if to set off the snake's luxury.
The rubies embedded in the two eyeballs are of unknown quality.
But judging from the previous treasures, they must be top-notch!
But, what is the relationship between Tuyuhun and snakes?
Lin Ran couldn't help but think of the sixth floor and the content in the book described by the village chief. Could it be that snakes have different meanings in their legends?
"Village chief, do you know this snake?"
"I don't know." The village chief shook his head, "But we have been told since childhood that catching snakes on the sacred mountain is not allowed. If you see a snake on the road, you must wait until the snake leaves before leaving."
After hearing the village chief's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
That's weird!
