"Selling cultural relics?"

People who study archeology naturally know what is called reselling cultural relics, such as stone statues and bronzes. No matter auctions or private transactions of such artifacts are prohibited by the state, for example, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Emperor have not been damaged for decades. It is because the state vigorously protects and strictly prohibits buying and selling. If you steal ununearthed cultural relics, such as a prince's tomb or an imperial mausoleum, and then trade the newly unearthed cultural relics with the proceeds from the tomb robbery, public or private transactions are not allowed.

However, this does not mean that all cultural relics cannot be bought and sold, such as porcelain, gold and silverware, wooden furniture, etc., as well as cultural relics that are clearly circulated in the world and passed down in an orderly manner. Such things can be bought and sold freely. Therefore, many tomb robbers always use the ancestral mouth to steal items, taking advantage of legal loopholes and using them for normal transactions.

Qin Cheng also guessed that the thing Wei Bofei wanted to buy was not something that was normally circulated, but the seller said that Jinzhong was checking for resold cultural relics, and even changed the transaction time in advance. It is estimated that the checking is very strict, and Jingcha is not doing it these days. He would check it every now and then if he had nothing to do. Tan Cheng guessed that something had happened there recently that led to large-scale inspections.

Maybe some important cultural relics were lost.

"When will the seller change the time?" Tan Cheng thought for a while and asked.

Wei Baofei sighed, "He said not sure, because they don't know when the inspection will end. I guess the thing he took was a bit tricky. He said he would call me after the inspection is completed, no later than the 8th."

"Tricky? The thing he wants to sell you isn't the same bronze as last time?" If it is still Daxu's thing, it is probably treated as a fake, and it shouldn't be Tricky.

"I don't know what the situation is. The thing he prepared to give me was not the same cup as last time, but it was still a copperware. He said it came from the same place as last time. You have to go somewhere to see the details. .”

Tan Cheng frowned, "Then we can only ask then."

But if it takes too long, how many days do you have to wait in Jinjin? Tan Cheng thought for a while, or he could go to Pingyao County first to have a look, and then he would go there after the seller contacted him.

"Since the trade meeting has been postponed, my companion and I will go to Pingyao Ancient City for two days. Then the seller will contact you. Just call me. Pingyao is not far from Jinzhong, and the train will arrive in an hour."

Wei Bofei actually wanted to buy another wine bottle from the person who sold him the wine bottle last time. The time was suddenly delayed and he couldn't remember where to go. When Tan Cheng mentioned going to Pingyao Ancient City, he was also tempted. But he was twenty-eight or nine years old, just married, and he really wanted to travel around. He had been to the ancient city of Pingyao last time on a business trip. This time he really wanted to visit the Xuankong Temple in Datong, Shanxi, so he simply said: "Then Okay, I also want to visit the Xuankong Temple. When I get to Yuncheng, I will transfer there and we will contact you then."

"good."

It was settled that after the three of them arrived in Yuncheng and separated, Tan Cheng and Wu Hai set off for Pingyao.

Someone likened the ancient city of Pingyao this way: "It is a beautiful lady with a profound background, who has gone through many trials and hardships but remains unfazed..." The loneliness left after the glory of the past once supported half of China's commerce. As if smiling meaningfully in history..."

The ancient city of Pingyao has a history of thousands of years, and the city wall has a history of thousands of years. It can be seen that the history of Pingyao ancient city is unmatched by other ancient cities in China.

This is Wu Hai's first time to Pingyao. He finally made the trip. As an archaeologist, he naturally wanted to see the Pingyao City Wall built in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"It is said that it was built during the period of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. It is said that it was built by Yin Jifu, an important minister at that time, when he was stationed in the army. It is said that there were many mysteries in the construction of this ancient city of Pingyao. When it was originally built, the turtle took the meaning of "good luck and longevity", and it was built as "turtle". "City". From a bird's-eye view of the ancient city, you can see that the south gate is the head of Yingxun Gate, which is likened to the eyes of a turtle; the arch gate of the north gate is the tail of the turtle, which is the lowest point in the city. All the accumulated water in the city flows out through this; the east and west are The four urn cities face each other. This city has a history of more than 2,800 years and has been repaired 26 times." Wu Hai stood at the foot of the towering city wall and said: "But what is left now was rebuilt in the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and it is better. The masonry is still contemporary.”

Hearing Wu Hai say that it was built during the reign of King Zhou Xuan, Qin Cheng laughed out loud. He thought that Su Jingmo had said that the one built by King Zhou Xuan was long gone, and even Daxu didn't see any Zhou at that time. The ancient cities during the Xuan Dynasty were all newly built by the previous dynasty.

Seeing Tan Cheng smile, Wu Hai thought he had said something wrong and was laughed at by Tan Cheng. For a moment, he lost face.

"what's so funny?"

"No......."

Tan Cheng was indeed not laughing at Wu Hai. They knew the legends from the Zhou Xuan King period from books. In fact, there was no trace of the city wall from more than two thousand years ago. He also lost it in front of Su Jingmo. It's ridiculous... modern people's estimates of what happened so many years ago will always have too many errors.

However, Wu Hai didn't know what Tan Cheng thought. He thought that Tan Cheng was perfunctory with him, so he said angrily:

"I just don't like your temperament. You always half-speak and make others look much stupider than you!"

"No, that's not what I meant."

"Then just make it clear!"

Wu Hai has a strong temper and speaks straightforwardly. Qin Cheng knows this very well. Otherwise, Wu Hai would not have stood up and said what everyone wanted to say during the meeting in the research room after Jiang Bo's accident. , he Tan Cheng is talking nonsense, which is probably a crime

A suspect.

"I was thinking of a friend, um... he had done some research on this aspect, and said that apart from what was written in later books, there was actually no evidence to prove that the city was built during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. I said a lot at that time, It made him laugh. As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered what happened at that time and couldn't help but laugh. "

Qin Cheng explained, and Wu Hai was relieved and no longer worried. "It would have been better if you had said so earlier." At this point, Wu Hai looked at Qin Cheng, "I asked you why you have changed your tone recently. I just said I noticed how you spoke in a formal manner, saying things like 'written in the book' and 'it made him laugh'. You must have watched too many TV dramas and you can't even understand normal speech."

When Wu Hai said this, Tan Cheng also noticed that it was indeed a bit strange. He was stunned for a while and didn't know how to explain it. Maybe he spoke like this because he had been with Su Jing for a long time and was naturally affected. They were doing archeology. , he was busy working on his own in the pit and didn’t have much time to talk to each other. He has been extremely busy recently. Speaking of which, in the past few months, he and Su Jingmo probably talked more than he talked to other colleagues combined. It would be strange not to be affected by Su Jingmo's authentic ancient accent.

"Can you watch a drama that adapts history like that? Even the way he talks is affected." Tan Cheng didn't deny it, and Wu Hai took it as his acquiescence. Thinking of those TV dramas that tampered with history beyond recognition, Wu Hai watched Tan Cheng's eyes looked a little different, "It's better to watch less of that kind of drama, otherwise your history class will be in vain."

Wu Hai's words with a little seriousness really made Tan Cheng dumbfounded, but what else could he do? He had already said these words, and he couldn't swallow them back. He couldn't find any good excuse to explain, so he could only grit his teeth. Accepted.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Last time I found a picture on the stone wall of an ear room in the tomb." He didn't tell Wu Hai or Zhang Jun that the capital of Daxu was right next to Pingyao. Son, thinking of a poem written by Su Jingmo on the paper that day, Qin Chengcai continued: "There is a poem on the picture, 'Nine days of prosperity exist in Zhongdu, and golden and jade gates surround the Fen River.' This refers to Zhongdu and the Fen River. , I thought that Pingyao by the Fen River was called Zhongdu during the Han Dynasty. Perhaps the so-called Daxu capital was once located here, and the man who resold bronze wine bottles to Wei Bofei was in Jinzhong. With all this action, I guessed that there might really be something left here."

When Wu Hai heard this, he also understood the purpose of Qin Cheng's coming here, "Are you looking to see if you can find any traces of Daxu's existence? However, if this dynasty really existed, it has disappeared from history. Of course it won’t be so easy to discover, otherwise after more than a thousand years, no one and no historian would have made any guesses?”

"I think it's not that no one has made speculations, but these speculations have not been recorded in the official history. To be honest, our archeology can only rely on the official history while looking for the 'evidence' that has remained to this day. No one knows what happened in the past. There is no Historical records, no matter how many things there are, can only be regarded as legends. Do you still remember the article on the Internet that speculated on the tomb in Ninghua Village? Isn't it a reference to the saying, "Puhuang drinks all the water of Chang'an, and Xuanyuan rides on the wind to come." 'Have you ever made any speculations?"

"Remember, that post was quite right. Do you think there are still problems?"

Looking at Wu Hai, Qin Cheng nodded, "The article said that the person who wrote this poem was afraid that the court at that time did not dare to say that Puhuang's army died in the Ninghua Village tomb due to tomb robbery, and also said that Xuanyuan should be referring to. He was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I agree with the speculation in the first sentence, but I don't think so in the second sentence. Xuanyuan was originally the first emperor in Chinese legends and myths. There is only one legendary thing in the two sentences of this poem. I don't think it is written The person who wrote this poem would use legend to refer to the emperor who actually existed in the Tang Dynasty. Since Xuanyuan is a legend, then this person must think that the person in the tomb is not written in the history books. Jingzhao is the name of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, which is almost the same. It happened 1,500 to 600 years ago, which coincides with the time of the Ninghua Village Tomb. I guess the person who wrote this poem really went to the Ninghua Village Tomb..."

The author has something to say: Actually, let me give you a spoiler. In fact, Tan Cheng finally.........(Who the hell covered my mouth!!!)
