Chapter 449
Chapter 449
Han Yi originally wanted to go over to see what was going on, but everyone was worried that there would be danger, and insisted that he go ashore first, and then send people over to dig up the soft mud over there little by little.
Of course, only part of it can be dug out, but at least in this way, it can be seen clearly whether it is what they want.
Han Yi stood on the shore and watched everyone busy. After a while, someone picked up the top of the soft mud and carefully identified it, and then came to report: "It is indeed a tripod, but I don't know what it is. .”
Han Yi said: "No matter what kind of tripod it is, first pull it up and have a look."
Although Han Yi really hoped that this was the Shanhe Ding, he still felt that it should not be so easy. After all, Qi Guo had been searching for it for so long and hadn't found it. How could it be possible that he found it after just wandering around?
The giant Mohist on the side was also a little puzzled: "This is... Shanhe Ding?"
Before Han Yi could answer, Long Qi said, "This is wrong, we have been here just now, why didn't we find out?"
When testing the newly researched car, ordinary soldiers went up in the first wave, and in the second wave, he led people around the nearest area. The place Han Yi passed just now was still there The traces they made, such as duckweed and water lilies, were all emptied, but they didn't find any tripod either.
Long Qi turned his head and looked at Han Yi, lost in thought: Is it really a gift from heaven?
Han Yi didn't care what his subordinates thought, but watched them put the rope on the exposed tripod ear, and then the others were on the shore preparing to go out.
After Long Qi ordered the people to toss around for a while, he turned his head and cupped his hands to Han Yi and said, "Mr. Lang, I'm afraid it will be a bit messy to wait here, why don't you go back and wait first."
Han Yi watched the mud spots thrown out by the rope swinging back and forth and nodded silently for a while.
Anyway, he can't help here, so he might as well go back.
After going back, Han Yi didn't have a good rest that night. He hoped that it would be a tripod of mountains and rivers and worried that it wouldn't be a tripod of mountains and rivers.
Worried and worried, he suddenly reacted to a question - he didn't know what the real Shanhe Ding looked like, and what words were written on it.
Everyone thinks that he should know. In fact, there are very few people in his position who do not know the situation of Shanhe Ding—although there is no Shanhe Ding, but sacrifices still use Ding, so every country will imitate the shape of Shanhe Ding To make your own giftware.
This also caused a lot of imitation Shanhe tripods, especially during the period when Zhou State just perished, the tripods made by various countries were basically similar to Shanhe tripods, and later gradually evolved into each country's tripod due to various reasons. Ding has its own style.
However, Han Yi's half-imitator's understanding of Ding stopped here, and he didn't want to know anything else.
Han Yi had a headache for a while, and he couldn't tell others that he didn't know. In the end, he had to decide that no matter what the tripod was, he would send it back to Yan Zheng to send someone to study it!
Of course, the premise was that the tripod was old enough. Although he couldn't tell the authenticity of the Shanhe tripod, he brought people here because he was worried that the tripod dug out was not the real Shanhe tripod, but was cast later.
Because the worry was fake, Han Yi was worried when he went to sleep that night.
And when he woke up the next morning, he found that the cauldron hadn't come out yet, only half of it came out.
This is the result of the Mohist giant temporarily only doing some small agencies to help, it would be even worse without this.
It wasn't until evening that the tripod finally left the swamp and returned to the hard ground.
At this time, the entire body of the cauldron was covered with stinky mud, and the smell it gave off was simply suffocating.
After Han Yi ran over and took a look, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Rinse the tripod first to remove the smell, remember to use it in the specially prepared potion."
Before coming here, Han Yi had expected that the tripod would probably be buried in the swamp, so when it came out, it must be filled with soft mud.
So it must be cleaned, but if it is washed with ordinary water, it will easily cause certain damage to the tripod. After all, if this tripod is real, it has a history of more than 200 years.
The most important thing is that I don't know how long it was buried in the swamp. Metal products will decay quickly in a humid environment for a long time.
For this reason, Han Yi specially found someone to prepare herbal medicine that would not corrode metal so much, and then brewed it to form a special potion.
It took nearly two days to dig out the cauldron, and it took three full days to clean the cauldron.
Halfway through the cleaning, Long Qie ran up and said, "Mr. Lang, there is something found in the mud cleaned out in the tripod."
Han Yi was a little surprised: "What discovery?"
Long Qi said: "A human skull."
Han Yi's first reaction after hearing this was that these skulls were left there by the people who had been looking for Shanhe Ding before, but after thinking about it carefully, there must be something wrong. The mud in the Ding must have existed for a long time, and even if there were skulls, they might not be able to reach the Ding. Inside, and if it's really the remains of those people, how could there be only skulls?
Han Yi asked, "What happened to those skulls?"
Long Qi shook his head and said, "I and my people are not very clear about this, so leave it to Chu Fei."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Fei walked in and said, "These skulls have been corroded badly. It is estimated that they are at least a hundred years old, and they should be used for sacrifices."
Even though Han Yi felt that he was used to the era where the lives of slaves were not taken seriously, Han Yi still shuddered when he heard the head as a sacrifice.
"How many skulls are there?" he asked.
"Nine in total."
Nine... This number does have a special meaning.
Han Yi asked again: "Is there anything else?"
Long Qi shook his head and said: "There are some things that can't be seen, probably because they have rotted for too long, and there is no way to distinguish them."
Han Yi asked again: "Can you tell the characters on the tripod?"
Long Qi shook his head again and said: "I can't see it clearly for now, there is a lot of verdigris on it."
"How big is the tripod?"
Long thought for a while: "It's more than three feet long and less than two feet wide. It's square."
After hearing this, a word flashed into Han Yi's mind: Stepmother Wu Dafang Ding, which is the familiar Simuwu Dafang Ding.
The size of this tripod is very similar to that of the cultural relic, even if it is not a mountain and river tripod, it is still a very important ritual vessel.
However, the blurred font really made him heave a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to distinguish it, so he quickly shipped it back to someone else.
Han Yi asked the tripod to be cleaned up and ready to be transported back, but the only thing he needed to worry about was that it was too far away from Daqin, and the tripod was too heavy to be dismantled.
The road along this road is not very good, and it has to be kept secret, no matter which one it is, it is very headache.
Han Yi sighed very melancholy: "The car...hasn't been built yet."
He has long known the difficulty of transportation, so he asked people to build a car before. This car not only has a high load-bearing capacity but is also very strong, and it also has a certain ability to deal with dangerous road conditions.
It's just that he left in a hurry at that time, so he ordered his subordinates to continue building the car. At that time, he was thinking that he might find this tripod when the car was built, and he would send it over.
As it turns out... the car is still not ready yet, so Ding found it first!
Han Yi had no choice but to ask people to find a stronger place and start digging a hole in the ground, and then hid the tripod in it. At the same time, he was still sending people to continue searching to see if he could find other things. In the swamp.
After the tripod was hidden, Han Yi began to think: How should I notify Feng me?
No, or how to save Feng me?
He thought for a while and wrote a letter directly to Yan Zheng, explaining everything.
Yan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar mechanism bird. After all, Han Yi hadn't written to him for several days, which made him feel that Han Yi was in danger.
After opening the mechanism and seeing Han Yi's letter, Yan Zheng almost doubted his eyes.
He subconsciously looked up at the almanac, took out the letter Han Yi had written to him and glanced at the date on it, and found that it had only been a few days, and he found the suspected ritual vessel?
Could this be a little too fast?
Even though Han Yi wasn't sure, Yan Zheng felt that the size of the tripod was about the same as the skull inside.
When Han Yi said that there was no way to transport it now because the frame hadn't been finished yet, Yan Zheng called Yan Qiao directly.
Yan Qiao had already packed up his things and planned to take Gong Shuqing north to Yuyang County to observe, but he was still a little puzzled to be called into the palace at this time.
Now he was a bit casual towards Yan Zheng, and after saluting, he asked: "Brother Wang, do you have something to ask your younger brother to do?"
Yan Zheng nodded and asked, "How much can your ship carry?"
After hearing this, Yan Qiao immediately said confidently: "If Brother Wang is willing, I can build a sea palace for Brother Wang!"
After hearing this, Yan Zheng was really moved. If there is a sea palace, it would be nice for him to take Han Yi to the sea to see the scenery when he is free in the future, but he quickly recovered and said: "Then use your best The boat went to Dongyue to pick up Yi."
Yan Qiao was a little surprised: "Brother A Yi? Didn't he go to find Shanhe Ding?"
Yan Zheng nodded: "That's right, I should have found it."
Yan Qiao also subconsciously glanced at the almanac with question marks all over his head: "What? Did you find it? So soon?"
Yan Zheng said: "He is not sure, but everything is very similar. The transportation method originally planned cannot be used, and the distance is too long. We can't send too many people, so we have to go by sea."
Yan Qiao immediately said with a serious face: "This is a big deal, I'll leave immediately!"
Yan Zheng nodded and said, "Remember to keep in touch with Ah Yi."
Yan Qiao responded, and hurried back to revise the itinerary.
After Yan Qiao left, Yan Zheng wrote a letter to Han Yi, asking him to communicate with Yan Qiao.
When Han Yi received this letter, he had just finished meeting the Queen Mother Qi.
