Can you give me a helping hand?
Late at night, Baijia Village Ancestral Hall. After entering the ancestral hall, Baichi lit the candlesticks scattered around the ancestral hall and ordered the door of the ancestral hall to be closed. Then Echo looked at the seventy-five old and young iron guards behind him, his eyes slowly moving on each person.
It passed by slowly and finally stopped on Bai Baoshan. He nodded slightly and said loudly:
"Since I have accepted the title of Lord Wu'an, I will issue my first order. No matter what you see or hear in the ancestral hall tonight, you must forget that this is the foundation for the rise of our Baijia Village.
.Thousands of years of protection, why?
Why? For today, the day when I, Baijiacun, will be reborn, we have been waiting for this day for two thousand years. No matter who leaks the secrets of Baijiacun, he will be killed without mercy. Even if you escape to the ends of the world, I, Baichi, will definitely kill you.
Kill them all and never tolerate them."
"I respectfully obey Lord Wu'an's order."
Everyone in the ancestral hall obeyed the order with a roar.
Bai Chi was not wordy. Time was running out now. He still had a certain degree of confidence in Luo Danting and Fatty Zhou. Now he was hurriedly sorting and classifying all the things in the basement. Then he would wait for Fatty Zhou's sacks and wooden boxes to be delivered.
We are about to start packing the boxes. After treating Gao Jianguo’s legs during the day, we will leave this place.
Everyone in the ancestral hall watched in surprise as Bai Chi turned on the machine, and then a tunnel appeared on the ground. They had been here for so many years, and no one discovered that there was something else underground under the ancestral hall. It seems that these secrets only belong to the real Bai family.
Only blood knows.
But these are still the beginning. When everyone followed Baichi into the huge and terrifying treasure house at the end of the passage, everyone really knew what shock meant. Baichi secretly observed the iron guards present. What made him
What is satisfying is that these Black Ice Platform Iron Guards in Baijia Village only have fanaticism and admiration in their eyes, and no greed at all.
Everyone looked at the oil fire tank surrounding the entire hall in amazement, as well as the pile of gold, silver, treasures, and bronze vessels in the middle. They were all amazed. With seventy-five people, they spared the pile of treasures and gold in the middle.
, came to the long desk at the back of the hall and stood in front of it.
At this time, there was only a skeleton with white hair sitting there behind the long desk, wearing a brocade robe that had not yet rotted. There was a set of black full-body armor and a black sheathed sword on the long desk.
Bai Chi turned around and stood up, looking at the uncertain looks in the Iron Guards' eyes, and said softly:
"This is the ancestor of our Bai family. The second generation of Wu Anjun, Bai Zhong, the descendant of ancestor Bai Qi, everyone pays homage to him!"
After saying this, Bai Chi bowed down first, and everyone behind him also followed Bai Chi and knelt down on the ground. The scene was quite solemn and solemn. It was silent, and the only thing that could be heard was the deep breathing of everyone present.
After a few breaths, Bai Chi led everyone to stand up and said
"Because we plan to leave Baijia Village, it is no longer safe here, so tonight, everything in this treasure house must be cleaned up. We will set off tomorrow night at the latest."
Having said this, Bai Chi looked at Bai Baoshan and Bai Zizai, who had been standing respectfully behind him, and said
"Lao Bai and Uncle Bai, just ask them to start classifying. Remember what I said, put gold and silver into one category; put bronzes into two categories, one is utensils, the other is swords and armor; put all kinds of
Gemstones are of the same category; all kinds of jade articles and jade pendants
Put them into one category; then put all kinds of miscellaneous things into one category. Don’t touch the armor and long knife on the long table. Those were left to me by the ancestors on a special trip, so they must be taken with me. In addition, the body of the ancestor Bai Zhong was collected.
Choose another place for burial. Just start like this."
Bai Baoshan and Bai Zizai quickly nodded and obeyed, and began to classify names according to Bai Chi's instructions. For a while, the entire basement was in full swing and busy. Bai Chi was walking around, watching everyone busy, feeling secretly regretful.
It's a pity that some things were weathered and decayed when the stone door was first opened last time, such as some brocade robes and the like, with only some gold threads left. Some weapons and armors are still intact, because this place is closed all year round, and in the basement
It is also relatively dry and unventilated. The reason why bronzes can be preserved underground for such a long time is related to the environment of the basement.
At the same time, it also proves that the humidity, carbon dioxide, and oxygen content of the environment in the basement are relatively low. In this case, the rust of the bronze is relatively slow. Because the bronze is placed in the basement with foot support, there are few other parts.
It is in direct contact with the ground. Therefore, there is very little chance of chloride ions in the soil directly penetrating into the interior of the bronzes. This is one of the biggest reasons why a large number of bronzes can be preserved intact in the basement of Baijiacun.
But what makes Bai Chi wonder is why the special daggers used by the Black Ice Tai Iron Guards in Baijiacun can remain immortal for thousands of years? It is probably also because they have been wiped and maintained for many years, and they can be better preserved if they are buried deeper underground.
Just a few. But these are not the issues Baichi is considering now.
When Bai Chi, who was bowing his head in thought, secretly sighed for some decayed objects, Bai Baoshan came over to report.
"Master, after a rough inventory, there are countless gold vessels and silverware in the basement, and the weight cannot be estimated. There are more than 1,300 sets of bronze weapons and armors, of which 50% are well preserved, and the rest are different.
level of damage. In addition, the jade articles are well preserved and have been classified, including jade pendants, jade plates, jade tripods and other utensils as well as ritual vessels."
Bai Chi nodded, and then Bai Zizai walked over quickly, with a look of surprise on his face, and said
"Report to the head of the family that we found a pit of ten thousand bones behind."
"Well! I know all of this. Those are the origins of the human oil lamps in the basement. Don't worry about them. I'll send someone up later to collect some oil barrels. When I leave, I will put the human oil in the human oil lamps.
Let me pack them all away. The last few people who came out also removed all the oil wall lamps on both sides of the corridor. Don't leave anything here."
Bai Chi replied calmly.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zizai said after listening:
"My subordinates have already remembered what the master of the family ordered, but what I want to say is that I found something in the Ten Thousand Bones Pit."
Bai Chi's eyes flashed and he asked strangely:
"Oh, what else? Let's go and have a look. Talk as we go!"
After saying that, Bai Chi quickly walked towards the very hidden stone door at the back of the hall. Bai Zizai and Bai Baoshan who were following him looked at each other and followed quickly. Bai Zizai whispered as he walked.
"Just now, a member of our family discovered this stone gate and the Ten Thousand Bones Pit behind it. Because it was pitch black inside, he accidentally fell into the Sixty-seven-meter-deep Ten Thousand Bones Pit. Wait for us to follow his call and bring torches to find him.
When he was there, he had already discovered that there seemed to be something underneath the Ten Thousand Bones Pit. Because of the passage of time, those withered bones had become rotten and would break when touched. His body sank a little deeper, and he found that there was something underneath the Ten Thousand Bones Pit.
There is a small bronze tripod."
"Small tripod? How small?"
Bai Chi couldn't help but asked curiously.
Bai Zizai frowned and thought for a moment before replying:
"I can't tell you the specific subordinates. I think he is no more than half a man tall and weighs no more than two hundred kilograms."
"Oh? What is such a small tripod used for? Let's get it out first."
Bai Chi walked to the edge of a pit of dead bones and stretched his head to look down. In the dim light of the torch, he could vaguely see a young iron guard below tying a small black cauldron to a thick pole.
There were five or six iron guards on top of the rope, ready to pull Xiao Dinghe up.
After waiting for about a minute or two, Xiaoding was pulled up together with the fallen iron guard. Bai Chi, Bai Baoshan and Bai Zizai quickly walked to the side of Xiaoding. They looked carefully at the light of the torches beside them.
At first glance, it turned out to be a small purple tripod that looked extremely delicate.
The small tripod is about eighty centimeters high. The strange thing is that there is a lid on the top of the small tripod. The tripod is densely carved with patterns. When you get closer, you can't see it clearly. I just think it is carved with mountains, rivers and mountains.
There are several small seal-engraved inscriptions on the lid of the small tripod, but it is hard to see what they are because they are covered with dust.
After carrying the small tripod to a bright place in the basement hall and taking a closer look, Bai Chi and Bai Zizai didn't feel anything yet, but Bai Baoshan's expression changed drastically, with a look of horror and disbelief on his face. He stared blankly.
Looking at the small tripod in front of him, he said:
"This...how is this possible? It's actually it, it's it? It's really unbelievable. I didn't expect that I, Bai Baoshan, would be able to see this incredible treasure in my lifetime."
Bai Chi couldn't help but asked in surprise when he heard Bai Baoshan's words.
"Lao Bai, what happened to this little tripod? Maybe it just fell in accidentally."
When Bai Baoshan heard Bai Chi's question, he immediately said to the iron guards surrounding him:
"You all go and continue cleaning up."
Seeing several iron guards walking away, Bai Baoshan looked at Bai Chi and Bai Zizai, lowered his voice and said tremblingly:
"Master, this small tripod has an extraordinary origin. If I read it correctly, old man, the inscriptions on the cover of the tripod mean "Dayu Jiuding". This small tripod is the world-famous nine tripods that bound Kyushu.
Ah. I just didn’t expect it to be completely different from the legend, why is it so small?”
"What are you talking about? Just such a small tripod? It's the Jiuzhou tripod. Did you read that right, Mr. Bai? This is the Nine tripod that Xia Yu built to represent the nine states of China when he was controlling the floods. It became a symbol of the vassals and the establishment of the country in China. The Nine tripod symbolizes the whole country.
The unification of Kyushu and the high concentration of royal power show that the king of Xia has become the common master of the world, which is the tripod that is a symbol of compliance with the "mandate of heaven"?"
Bai Chi was dumbfounded and stared at the cauldron, thinking to himself: Wasn't it said to have been lost in Pengcheng, Surabaya?
"Master, that's right! I usually do some research on ancient texts. I'm pretty sure it's the legendary cauldron. But why can't such a small person understand it? What's inside this cauldron? Subordinate
I’m also very curious.”
