Chapter 219
In Professor Chen's office, everyone sat in a circle.
Because he had something to ask of someone, Professor Chen personally made a cup of hot tea for Shen Hao and the others.
After sitting down, Professor Chen smiled at everyone.
"Oh, haha~, Shirley should have told you all about it, right? The incident of the shipwreck in the South China Sea?"
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, then I won't say any more nonsense."
"I invited you here this time to see if you can get the Qin Wang bone mirror, a national treasure, back before those foreign salvage teams."
"I don't know if you are willing to help me with this?"
Professor Chen was also very humble, after all, he was asking for help.
He was too old, and even if he wanted to go, his body wouldn't allow it.
Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and Yang Xueli all looked at Shen Hao.
Professor Chen also noticed this.
Several people seemed to be led by Shen Hao.
So Professor Chen also looked at Shen Hao.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, I wonder if you are willing to help an old man like me."
"It is a national treasure after all. I really can't bear to see it drifting overseas~"
Professor Chen's eyes were full of expectation.
Shen Hao just paused for a moment and didn't deliberately whet his appetite.
He nodded and said, "Professor Chen, I can feel your patriotic heart."
"This matter is not difficult for us. We agree!"
Professor Chen heard this and immediately showed a happy smile on his face.
"Okay, great, thank you so much, Comrade Xiao Shen."
Shen Hao waved his hand.
"Professor Chen, you are too polite. I don't want to see this national treasure go overseas. Since there is an opportunity, I certainly can't give it up."
"Okay, Comrade Xiao Shen's ideological realm is really high. I really didn't misjudge you."
"Comrades Xiao Hu and Xiao Wang, you are the same, you are all people with high ideological awareness."
"I'll leave this national treasure to you!"
Shen Hao and others nodded.
"Professor Chen, don't worry."
Professor Chen also nodded, and then explained a lot of information about the Qin King's Bone Mirror to everyone.
"I learned this from some of my classmates and friends in America."
Legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, when Qin Shihuang was on a southern tour, he encountered someone fishing up a floating corpse on the beach.
The floating corpse was tall, with a beard longer than his chest, fair skin, good looks, and muscles as hard as iron.
He was dressed in the clothes of an ancient king, and looked lifelike, like a living person.
The First Emperor believed that this was the remains of an immortal in the sea, and worshipped him in order to obtain the elixir of immortality.
However, one of his alchemists believed that this was an ancient zombie, which was ominous and was transformed by a monster.
The First Emperor was finally convinced by the alchemist, so he ordered people to bury the body, cast a bronze beast to suppress it, and placed the "Qin Wang Zhao Gu Jing" among the Qin Wang's eight mirrors on the top of the bronze beast's head as a seal.
Later, until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Someone saw five dragons fighting in the sky, and they eventually died together and fell down, but only a large crack was left on the ground.
In this crack, people found a huge bronze beast with a strange shape, a cow's head and a turtle's body, and seven tails behind it. There was an ancient bronze mirror embedded on the top of its head, which was presented to Emperor Huizong.
Some officials advised that this bronze mirror was the Qin Wang Zhao Gu Jing, which was a device to suppress monsters in the pre-Qin period. It should not be kept for a long time and should be returned to its original place.
But Song Huizong regarded the bronze mirror as a treasure and could not return it to its original place. Not long after, the Jin army went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, and the two emperors were captured.
So far, the Qin Wang Zhaogu mirror has been missing again.
Later, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, the Qin Wang Zhaogu mirror appeared again. It was said that it was looted from the people by the people of John Bull Country and drifted to Southeast Asia. A few months ago, it was buried by a rich man and wanted to be transported back by sea.
As a result, it encountered a storm at sea, deviated from the route, encountered dragon fire, and sank.
At that time, there were hundreds of passengers and crew on the ship, and in the end, only one person survived.
After being rescued by fishermen, he died of serious injuries soon after.
Before his death, he left an important clue. There was Yin fire burning on the seabed where the ship sank, which was very strange.
And that location was probably near the "Coral Spiral" sea area. The specific location can no longer be found.
"As far as I know, the lurking fire on the seabed may be related to the sea air. I wonder if there is any special explanation for this strange phenomenon in Feng Shui?"
Hu Bayi was surprised when he heard this: "I didn't expect that Professor Chen also knows something about sea air."
"Feng Shui includes four aspects: shape, momentum, principle, and air. Among rivers, lakes and seas, the main one is 'air', which is called sea air."
"According to my analysis, there are three possibilities.""First, where two mountains are surrounded by the sea, there must be sea air condensing. The sea air gathers and does not disperse, turning into a mirage. The seabed fire seen by the crew may be a mirage."
"Second, the sea air is silted up, leading to the eruption of oil and gas or volcanoes on the seabed, forming a scene."
"Third, it is said that there is a dragon fire in the South China Sea, also known as a dragon lantern. The dragon fire burns when it meets water. If the Yin fire is strong, it must be a dragon lantern. I think this possibility is the greatest."
"It's just that this Qingwu theory is too mysterious and ethereal."
After listening, Professor Chen nodded. He believed that although these things seemed too mysterious, they should be because the scientific laws behind them have not yet been mastered and understood by people, so they think it is ethereal. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
Just like the Western Region culture he has been studying.
And he has also witnessed some unreasonable things happen with his own eyes.
Just like the bottomless ghost cave under the ancient city of Jingjue, it is impossible for mortals to cause it.
So he said: "The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. Although some things seem illusory, in fact, it's just that people don't know enough about them. Just like many things in our modern times, they can be called miracles in ancient times."
"I remember when I was young, I participated in an archaeological excavation. At that time, a bronze vessel from the Zhou Dynasty was unearthed, which was named the Zhou Mu Wang Yan Shen Yu."
"There are records about Guixu on it, which is related to the ancient country of Nanhai Hentian."
"It is recorded that at the end of the South China Sea, there is a The country of Guixu is now called the ancient country of Hentian. They mastered the secret of dragon fire. The Zhou emperor once sent an envoy to cast the Tianding with the help of dragon fire. The divine bowl of King Mu of Zhou was cast for this purpose. "
Shen Hao also said: "The ancient country of Hentian is said to be a clan in the Shang Dynasty. They crossed the ocean and established a civilization overseas. They mastered extremely advanced bronze smelting technology with the help of dragon fire, but suddenly disappeared later."
Professor Chen nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. The shipwreck is likely to be the site of the ancient country of Hentian."
