Chapter 97: Qinling God Tree · Continue to Climb

I saw the old itch's expression is not right, a trace of strangeness flashed in my heart, and he yelled his name. The old itch startled me, reacted all of a sudden, and shivered and stood there.
The two of us ran over and asked him what he wanted to do just now?
Looked at the tree and looked at us again, wondering: "I don't know. It's strange. Just now I saw this tree as if I was used to it. I suddenly thought-climb up."
Climb up? I looked at the old itch suspiciously. I looked up at the tree. I said that you are not a monkey. I climbed as much as I saw the tree, and asked him, "Is it afflicted by the momentum of this thing? Ordinary people see something high, There is an urge to climb. "
Old itchy shook his head: "I don't know."
Master Liang looked at the bronze tree and said, "This thing is so big and a bit evil. When we look at it, be careful and try not to touch it."
Old itch nodded his head in agreement, I raised the torch and walked to the root of the giant bronze tree.
Bronze trees are relatively rare cultural relics. In my memory, except for the unearthed Sanxingdui, there seems to be no other places. I also learned a little from the documentary. The cause of archaeology has not been conclusive, and there are many opinions.
Looking closely, you can find that the surface of the bronze tree is not smooth, and the totem of the twin snakes is engraved on it, which symbolizes the divinity of the bronze ware.
Master Liang looked at me for a long time and said to me: "This big guy is probably a sacrificial vessel. It is about the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The specific use for the sacrifice is too old to be beyond my knowledge."
This is very close to what the old man told me before coming here, but around Shang Zhou, Shang is more than six hundred years, and on Friday twenty-two years, it adds up to more than one hundred and one hundred years. For more than 400 years, it has accounted for almost half of the recorded history of the entire China. This judgment is equivalent to not saying.
I asked him if he could be more precise, could he see, which segment of Shang Zhou was it?
Master Liang gave a hand and said there was no way: "This thing is invisible to the naked eye, and I can only guess it for you. You can see that the rust color is black and gray. It may be one of tin bronze, lead tin bronze and lead bronze. It may be in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Sex is the biggest, probably about 50%. I ca n’t tell the other 50%. You also know the rules of our business. I know that these are already good. If I go deeper, I can only talk about it.

The line of making antiques has a dividing line in the dynasty. A lot of antiques were produced after the Song Dynasty. There were few things before the Tang Dynasty, and there were almost nothing in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The industry did not know much about this kind of things. Master Liang did. It's pretty good, much better than me.
I heard him say so much, and still have no concept, asked: "Then according to the Western Zhou Dynasty, can you judge it, can the bronze craft level of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in theory, cast this kind of thing?"
Master Liang said: "I can't answer this question anymore. I only know that the bronze wares must be made of pottery (ceramic molds) at that time. In theory, as long as the pottery can be made, it is possible to cast the finished product, but this It ’s too big, I ’m afraid it ’s impossible to make with traditional crafts.

Old itch asked him, "Master, do you say this thing is a relic of prehistoric civilization? I saw it in the newspaper. Some nails were dug in coal mines hundreds of millions of years ago. This thing is so big. Can't the "people" at that time be able to do it? "
Master Liang Liang shook his head: "Two little grandfathers, I really don't think it's necessary. The history from the first millennium BC to the first year of BC is called the age of miracles. Many impossible things were built at that time, like Great Wall, Pyramid, Emperor Qin Shihuang ’s Mausoleum, Babbitt Tower, you have to say that this bronze tree cannot be cast out, so it ’s hard to say, after all, our ancestors had already cast bronzes, and the emperor ordered that It ’s not impossible to work hard for decades.

Master Liang said something reasonable, but at that time the metallurgical industry was low. Was there so much bronze available? It was only after Qin Shihuang received the soldiers of the world that he cast the twelve gold men. I am afraid that this tree could have cast hundreds. Where did so much bronze come from?
I thought about it, but I didn't think of a reason, but I remembered another thing. When we overheard Li Pipa ’s speech, we heard that he said that the things in this ancient tomb are better than the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang, but we went down all the way and we did n’t see anything good, and here is the end. This copper tree, but we are not broken.
Although this tree is enough for a thousand people to spend a lifetime of dying,
There must be something written in his "Himu Collection", which can attract him to come here. He is more like a person and can make him say that kind of thing. This thing is definitely not trivial, but what is this thing? , Where is it here?
It stands to reason that this should be the entire tomb, or the center of the miracle. If there is something good, it should also be nearby, but apart from this tree, there must be nothing here that people like Li Pipa can see- ─ Wait ─ Tree?
I thought, suddenly a flash of light flashed, looked up at the top of my head, and said: Will something that attracts him come hidden in this bronze tree?
This huge bronze tree, for the ancestors of the Snake Kingdom in ancient times, was unintentionally an extremely huge project. It can be said that it was a miracle. It is hard to guarantee that their king will not set his tomb in the place they think is closest to God. Then, if this is indeed an ancient tomb, the coffin of the owner of the tomb should also be on the bronze tree, and all the bright objects should also be on this.
I talked my thoughts with the other two people, and they both made sense, and I asked them, since this is the case, do you want to climb up and see?
Of course, the old itch agrees, saying: "I have arrived here. It's no big deal to climb a few steps. There are so many sticks on it. It's like climbing stairs. It doesn't take much effort."
I do n’t mind climbing for a while, but Master Liang just roasted the fire, and overstretched his strength, and then let him go to the tree. I ’m afraid his life will be accounted for. If he is paralyzed, we still have to take care of it. He really has no such energy.
I turned my head and wanted to tell him if I would wait for us below. The two of us would just go up, but I saw Master Liang rubbing his face hard, and then shot me: "It's okay, the last level, I have to go and see ! "
I see his eyes firmly, knowing that he can't persuade, no needless attempts, so tie the backpack tightly, raise the torch, and say to the old itch: "Let's continue."
Old itch took the gloves in his bag, and now he was the first to step on the branches of the copper tree and started to climb. Master Liang and I also learned his appearance, followed behind, and followed the order in which he fell.
The branches above are not tight and tight, and they climb quite smoothly, and itchy reminds us to pay attention to the next step while crawling, not to step on the air.
Close to the bronze tree wall, I can see more clearly. These stretched branches are cast at the same time as this torso, the interface is flawless, and there is no trace of forging. However, what surprised me was that the gap between the twin snakes above was very deep, and it seemed to be carved into the depth of the torso. I could not see anything in the carving ditch.
Because we were too concerned about our movements, we soon sweated and panted. I looked down, and found that I could not see the pit on the bottom. I could only see the faint light of the fire altar on the edge of the door. At this height, it looked like a bottomless abyss.
After climbing for a while, Master Liang was weak, and I greeted Old Itchy to stop, and gave a gesture to let him not worry, let Master Liang take a break.
If Master Liang was granted amnesty, he squatted down suddenly. He was tired enough, his sweat was light, his feet were trembling, and he almost couldn't stand. I was sitting on the branch, and my feet were in the air. , There is no way to rest well.
The old itch sees that we are too nervous, throwing us dry food, letting us chew in our mouths and saying to us: "You can't do this, there are still hundreds of meters above it. Because of this physical strength, maybe we have to be Spend a night in the tree, or else, old Wu, tell us a piece of meat to relax? "
I was so tired that I didn't want to talk, and scolded: "Go, you're not tired? You see your calf trembling, to say that the man said, I don't have the strength."
Old Itchy took a bite of the tortillas and said, "I'll just talk about it, but you have to answer me a question first. Old Wu, you said we found this thing. If we inform the government, can we use our name? "
I really do n’t know anything about this. I turned my head to look at Master Liang, who gasped and waved his hand: "This itchy master, have you ever heard anything called Cheng Wang Erma Fang Ding, Zhao Tugen Three-legged goblet? The founders of national treasures have always been peasants and construction workers. You have to name them after that. That ’s interesting. We do n’t mean to discriminate against working people, but Chinese names are not like foreigners. Come on, do n’t you feel chills?

Old itch thought for a while, felt a little reasonable, and asked: "Then at least give me a naming right, right? Whoever finds an island can not be named by the first discoverer?"
Master Liang said: "That seems to have such a rule, but I haven't really studied it."
I asked the old itch: "Why do you ask these things, you haven't made money neatly, and you want to have both fame and fortune, and you don't want to think if you can find this kind of place if you have nothing to do. It's not clear what you do.
Old itch said: "I think this thing is very interesting, you say such a big copper pillar, what name should you give it? You also think about it, in the future we will blow up the cow or uniform caliber."
I didn't want to move on these boring thoughts at this time, and said to him: "It's your first discovery, it's up to you, I'm not as emotional as you are."
Looked at the old itch and said, "As soon as I saw this thing, a word flashed in my head. What do you think of this pillar," I love a firewood? "
I do n’t have a good air: "Are you watching too many non-nutritive films? Do you love a firewood and get the name? Believe it or not, can there be thunder to you?"
Itchy old man laughed immediately, Master Liang also shook his head happily. In this smile, people finally relaxed.
After we finished eating, our strength recovered a lot, and the old itch urged to continue on the way. I lifted my foot and just wanted to go. Suddenly I found something wrong underneath. Look carefully, Huh? How did the fire jar beside the door go out.
Old itch frowned: "Wouldn't the wind blow out here?"
I shook my head and said no, this fire jar is so big, I do n’t know how many times it is professional than the one I did, it is impossible to extinguish the wind, what should happen next?
Was thinking, suddenly the whole copper tree shook slightly, as if hitting something, Master Liang took a breath of air and asked what was going on?
The old itch made a mute gesture to us, and then put his hands into a trumpet on the copper wall. Upon hearing it, his face changed greatly, and he said softly to us, "His mother, it seems that something is coming up!"
