We all looked at Lin Jianye, but we saw that Lin Jianye had tears in his eyes.
He kept repeating the words: "The destiny black bird descended and gave birth to Shang..."
Several other archaeological experts couldn't help but praise: "We have been busy in the Yin Ruins for more than ten years, but we are not as good as Mr. Jiang's harvest in just a few days!"
Qiu Xiuxiu stared at the black bird and said, "Mr. Jiang is a powerful person, how can he be compared with us? I am lucky enough to see the black bird come into the world. Even death is worth it."
Lao Jiang said she was overly praised.
But all the experts present were completely convinced. Yin Ling'er couldn't help but interjected: "What's the point of this big bird made of stars? What does it mean to be born as a destiny blackbird?"
Lin Jianye explained: "According to legend, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty people was actually a black bird! A girl named Jian Di ate black bird eggs and suddenly became pregnant, which resulted in generations of merchants. Therefore, the merchants of later generations referred to black birds as Considered as a totem of one’s own tribe.”
"Can you get pregnant even if you eat eggs?"
Yin Ling'er couldn't help but cover her mouth, a little disbelieving, but looking at the slowly falling black bird, she couldn't help but sigh at the magic of creation.
Another historical expert named Baishui added: "In fact, the reason why the Shang Dynasty moved its capital here was because one of their great emperors, Pan Geng, followed the footsteps of a black bird and traveled thousands of miles to Yin."
"When he saw the black bird stopping at Yin, he immediately smiled and told the people: Our home will be here from now on, and we will never leave."
"At that time, the Shang Dynasty had already invented the astronomical calendar! In fact, the lunar calendar we usually call is not the yin of yin and yang, but the yin of Yinxu, because this is the calendar of the Shang Dynasty."
"It's just that what I never thought was that the black bird that Pan Geng was pursuing so hard back then was actually a star in the sky!"
Baishui felt that the doubts that had troubled him for decades were solved in an instant. He was extremely moved and said: "Yes, Xuanniao is the patron saint of Shang! Whether the Shang Dynasty exists or does not exist, it will continue to protect this land." The land of Yinxu."
After saying that, Baishui patted Lao Jiang's shoulder hard.
Lao Jiang just looked at the beautiful night sky quietly: "I just mastered the skills of my predecessors. It was not me who discovered the entrance to Yin Ruins, but Wen Tao, the king of tomb robbers back then."
At that time, Wen Tao discovered that this place is connected to Taihang in the west and Huan River in the east. The Feng Shui is not closed and the two qi are connected. There must be a group of ancient tombs of the Shang Dynasty hidden underneath.
But I couldn't find the tomb door for a long time, so I racked my brains and finally found the entrance according to the stars in the sky!
Although the tomb robbery failed in the end, a note left behind recorded the method of finding the tomb.
Lin Jianye's eyes flashed, and he didn't even have time to observe the movement of the black bird in the telescope. He stared at Lao Jiang without blinking and asked about Wen Tao's notes.
"Mr. Jiang, I wonder if I can have the honor to observe it?"
Lao Jiang laughed loudly and said that what was written on it were all condolences, and Lin Jianye would not be able to understand it even if he took it out.
Faced with Lao Jiang's rejection, Lin Jianye said shamelessly: "If you don't take it out, how do you know I can't understand it?"
Lao Jiang ignored Lin Jianye. Lin Jianye wanted to ask again. Lao Jiang glanced at him in surprise. At this time, I quickly shouted to Lao Jiang: "Master Xuanniao is about to land!"
Lao Jiang immediately ordered everyone: "From now on, everyone will stare at that bird and don't blink!"
Seeing Lin Jianye still stunned, Lao Jiang snatched his telescope away: "Captain Lin, I know you are tired, let me work hard for you next."
Seconds later, we witnessed a historic moment.
The deep blue black bird was seen sliding down from the night sky, and finally stopped at a position in the north. Then it dispersed like fireworks, and the stars that had just formed the black bird returned to their original positions.
Now we finally understood why Lao Jiang asked us to run so far to set up the pole, because under the influence of fluorescence, we clearly saw the black bird stop on the third pole in the north and then disappear.
That represents the Xuanwu constellation in the north.
Lao Jiang pointed there and said in surprise: "As expected, that place is one of the real entrances to Yin Ruins!"
At this time, the history expert Baishui couldn't help but add: "I believe that Emperor Pan Geng also chased the black bird here, and then based on the stars, he built his capital here."
Baishui suddenly recited a complicated classical Chinese sentence: "Oh, go! Life, life! Now I will try to move with you, and build this home forever."
He explained that this sentence was what Pan Geng said to his people when he moved to Yin, which meant: Follow me, and I will lead you to move and establish your homeland forever.
Perhaps in Pan Geng's eyes, this black bird will protect Shang from generation to generation and will exist forever.
Lin Jianye was so excited that he immediately led his people to the north.
Lao Jiang waved his hand: "What's the hurry? We've been working hard all night. If we don't rest, our bodies will not be able to bear it."
Qiu Xiuxiu felt that Lao Jiang was caring about the archaeological team members present, so she hurriedly thanked him.
Kuroki, Bai Shui and others were also impressed by Lao Jiang's ability, as if they would do whatever Lao Jiang said.
Platoon leader Zhang also believed that Lao Jiang's arrangement was reasonable. The soldiers were in good health, but the archaeological experts were obviously tired, and the soldiers' mission itself was to protect the safety of the archaeological team.
Everyone unanimously decided to have a good rest tonight and start digging tomorrow.
After returning to the tent, Lin Jianye began to ask about Wen Tao's notes again.
Lao Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at him meaningfully: "Captain Lin, when did you become so interested in Wen Tao? I remember what you said back then, Wen Tao is the most notorious tomb robber in history. , I don’t know how many ancient tombs have been destroyed. A scum like him will be despised by every archaeologist.”
"Why, now you fancy the scum you despised?" Lao Jiang looked Lin Jianye up and down.
Lin Jianye's Adam's apple rolled and he showed an embarrassed smile: "As you said, Wen Tao is certainly notorious, but he can still contribute to future archeology by finding the real entrance to Yin Ruins! If we can see that note, Maybe it will shock the archaeological community.”
In response, Lao Jiang just gave him a mysterious smile: "The notes are indeed very long, but one bite won't make you fat. Let's take our time!"
When he said the second half of the sentence, Lao Jiang obviously prolonged his tone, which made me feel that he meant something.
Moreover, we obviously only have a human skin scroll left by Wen Tao before his death, and it has only been half deciphered. There are no complete notes. Lao Jiang is telling lies.
Or does he have other intentions?
