Chapter 28 Chicken Soup for the Soul
When he heard Wu Qing rushing to answer, his old face felt a little hot. Unexpectedly, Wu Qing actually understood the origin of this statue more than he did.
Ma Wei looked at Wu Qing with interest, "Do you know?"
Wu Qing suddenly lost all his confidence and said cowardly: "Brother Shan doesn't know anymore. I...I... just listen to my mother..."
Your mother told you about the soul-catching messenger, but now she won’t say that this is the King of Hell, right?
Shanfei muttered in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "Let me tell me."
Wu Qing was solemnly encouraged, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Isn't this statue Shennong? My mother said... Among the gods in the past, Shennong had a ox-headed and human body. The strangest thing is that the whole body is transparent except for the head and limbs. Isn't this statue the same as the legend... "
Shan Fei's heart was slightly shocked, and he immediately looked back and was stunned.
What Wu Qing said makes sense!
When I first saw this statue, I felt that it was an unfinished statue. After hearing Wu Qing mentioned it, I realized that this unfinished hollow can actually be understood as transparency.
Could this be really Shennong?
When he looked at Ma Wei, he saw him smiling slightly, as if he was accused, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This cannot be blamed for the poor eyesight of solo. In fact, Buddhism was only popular during the Han Dynasty, and the statues worshipped by the people were not as complex as modern. In modern times, not to mention other sects, only the figures worshipped by Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism can be said to be countless - real, fictional, legendary, and even from the underworld gods and ghosts.
Those who can recognize all the statues are not archaeological experts, can definitely be said to be gods. Instead, Wu Qing is simple in his heart and knowledge, and he knows everything from my mother, but he can confirm Shennong at a glance.
"Senior." Solo soon threw a little defeat behind his head, thinking that a wise man would have to make mistakes, and a fool would have to make a profit. We are such a smart man, and it is not an encyclopedia. It is normal for you to have something you don't know, "You bring me here to see Shennong?"
"Flying solo, you are a smart person." Ma Wei murmured.
"Well... others say so." Solo Fei did not underestimate himself. In fact, he rarely relaxed in front of Ma Lian.
One of the four great joys in life is to meet old friends in a foreign land. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and information was not smooth, and meeting fellow villagers in a foreign land was overjoyed. Think about it, how destined is it to be two time travelers who can collide with each other?
"Then what do you think this tomb has to do with Shennong?" Ma Wei asked suddenly.
Solo Fei had been thinking about this question and hesitated: "This is not a tomb, it is more like a tomb of a living dead."
"Oh?" Ma Wei raised his eyebrows.
"There must be corpses in the tomb chamber, right? It's not reasonable to have such a large tomb chamber without a coffin. Even if the coffin is stolen, there will always be some signs of placement, but I can't see it."
After flying alone for a moment, he finally said, "So I think this may be a seclusion place established by some people here, but it is just covered up in the form of a tomb."
Ma Wei's eyes were filled with admiration.
Seeing this, Solo Fei felt a little more affirmation in his heart, "The world has the habit of worshiping. The statues of Shennong are enshrined here. People living in seclusion in the tomb may have something to do with Shennong..."
I originally wanted to say it was related to Shennong, but after flying alone to calculate the era, I felt it was too far away. I thought to myself that the Shennong era was two thousand years ago, so there would be no bullshit relationship.
Just like when he traveled to the Three Kingdoms, there was a history of nearly two thousand years between him and the Eastern Han Dynasty was close to the legendary Shennong. If there was still a relationship, it was all human relations.
Some people in modern times suddenly emerge and say that they are descendants of a certain saint. They fly solo, regardless of whether others believe it or not. Anyway, he is very suspicious, but Lao Wang next door definitely doesn't believe it.
After denying his conclusion, he flew alone and said in a flash: "Shennong is the ancestor of medicine, and the people here may have a good study of medical skills."
Ma Wei was slightly surprised, but he still didn't say anything.
"Why are there no one in the tomb chamber?" Shanfei then said: "It may be that they are all dead, or they may be that they are very quiet and leave here again."
The last confusion he left was why there was a box of gold left here?
If you want to talk about gold, it has been valuable things throughout the ages. Some people live in seclusion and tomb robbers pass by, but there is no reason to stay. The gold bar he picked up at the entrance of the cave has no mark. He cannot infer that the age is that gold will not be 24k. It may be more accurate to make an ingredient identification, but of course this identification cannot be made in this era.
Seeing Ma Wei turn his head and look at Shennong's statue again, he said modestly: "Senior, I'm just guessing too. If you finish reading this, we might as well discuss something else."
He actually didn't have much feelings for Cao Sanye, Cao Hong, and even Cao Cao. He was a person of great status in contemporary times. In fact, he has never seen big people. For archaeology, he has visited many countries around the world, and even some heads of state.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are both awesome. In his eyes, they are actually all kinds of princes and cannot be called the rank of the head of state. Solo Fei was not too urgent to make friends with them. But solo Fei was still a little excited about getting to know Ma Wei.
We have just come here to travel here and have no experience in traveling here. It depends on others making electrical appliances. That is Edison from the Three Kingdoms period. If we talk to him, we might even be able to meet the female cultivator's coffin.
"How about I tell you a story?" Ma Wei suddenly said.
"What?" Solo was surprised first, then happy, "Sir, tell me."
Ma Wei put the box on the ground and sat slowly on it. Solo was envious and thought that he would have to make one of this thing in the future. He was a light when he was dark and a bench when he was tired. I wonder what other uses would be used for it?
"There were four siblings in the past." Ma Wei said leisurely.
Four?
Four cases in the main tomb chamber flashed immediately in his head, thinking to myself whether this old man was telling the story of this tomb chamber?
"They all have extraordinary abilities and want to change the world." Ma Lian said to himself, "but their ideas are not consistent, so they chose four completely different paths. One of them chose force."
Shanfei was shocked and said in a lost voice: "I understand."
Ma Wei looked at Solo Fei strangely, "What do you understand?"
"What I came in the ear chamber must be weapons, and they were made of iron weapons, otherwise how could there be a strong smell of rust?" Shanfei woke up.
After he came in from the thief hole, he smelled the rust there strange, because there were few iron tools buried with the tombs in this period, but when he thought that this was the tomb of the living dead in troubled times, it was natural to store weapons in it, and it was for war preparation.
Ma Wei just smiled, "The other person chooses rights."
Solo frowned, unable to think of what the fragrance in another ear chamber would have to do with rights.
Wuqing must not know what the fragrance in the ear chamber smelled, but his nose was very useful. Although it was sealed through the wax of the jar, he still smelled the fragrance, which was definitely the smell of pepper.
There is pepper storage in the tomb chamber, which sounds very funny, but it feels normal to fly solo. Pepper is now from the Western Regions and is very expensive. The value of pepper stored in the Yier Room is estimated to be much more valuable than that box of gold in today's era, based on the knowledge of flying solo.
You should know that the palace where the empress of Weiyang Palace in the Western Han Dynasty was called the Pepper House. It was pepper, which was indeed related to pepper. To be precise, it was to use pepper and mud and then apply it on the wall to give the palace a warm and unique aroma.
The economy of the Western Han Dynasty was quite strong, so the construction of the palace in the emperor's main house would naturally not be careless. Since pepper is used as the material, the value and rareness of pepper can be seen.
In fact, even in the Ming Dynasty, the yield of pepper in the Central Plains was not high. During the Zhengde period, Qian Ning, a corrupt official, was investigated and found peppers worth tens of thousands of taels of gold and thousands of stones from his home.
Whether things are worthwhile in that era can tell whether corrupt officials have released them or not.
The local pepper production during the Ming Dynasty was insufficient, and a large part of it was imported from Southeast Asia. Now the Central Plains are not unified, so sea transportation is definitely not possible. The only channels to enter pepper are the Western Regions, and the value of pepper is obviously higher.
Solo has always been the one who makes money in silence. When I saw that room and the golden pepper, I had long considered how to use it. I couldn't help but associate it with the story. Then I heard Ma Wei continue: "The third person chooses the ideal."
Is this old man talking about chicken soup for the soul? Why do all the ideals come out?
Ideals and pepper are nothing to do.
The most popular thing I heard in that era was chicken soup.
In his era, chicken soup was used to listen to it, because drinking too much would cause mild vomiting discomfort and even overreaction.
Force, power and ideals are the paths that many people will choose in life. Sadly, most people don’t even get these three kinds of hair.
Of course, the spiritual chicken soup advocates ideals, but it is hard to say that poisonous chicken soup is true. This old man also grew up drinking chicken soup. He has not changed his problem of infusion in others yet?
Shanfei guessed in his heart that when he saw Ma Wei silent, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there another person? What path did he choose?"
The old man likes to nag. He listens to the old man finishing his talk early, so let's make him happy, and then talk about the female cultivator's coffin, and he is thinking solo.
"You have to choose these three paths, how will you choose?" Ma Wei slowly looked at Solo.
"Can't you choose three ways together?" Shanfei asked with a smile.
Ma Wei also had a smile in his eyes and murmured: "It seems you chose to dream."
In the empty cave, you can see the distant sky. When you see the sun setting in the solo, you still feel that it is far from dreaming. You can hear Ma Wei's mocking tone, and Bo Fei frowned and said, "Why do you choose Mr. Ma?"
Ma Wei was silent for a long time before saying: "The fourth person chose the resignation."
The passing years? What is this road? I was surprised to fly solo and said in confusion: "What passing years?"
Ma Wei slowly stroked the box sitting.
In the sunlight, the box tends to be plain. It is not like metal, but it seems to be made of wood. It seems to have strange lines on it. But I know solo that the box is definitely not made of wood. I observed the lines of the box carefully and couldn't understand the meaning of the line. I only felt that under the sunlight, the box was shining with colorful light, like the passing years...
Suddenly, he was shocked and as if he was thinking of something. At this time, Ma Wei finally spoke again: "The box I am sitting on is called Liunian!"
