Real punishment: Stop pretending, I saw you go to the grave

Chapter 128 Fishbone Temple, Iron Headed Dragon King

Su Chen smiled faintly, and changed the topic to the temple behind the Gulan County archaeological team.

"Are you doing archaeology now?"

Shao Guofeng straightened his face, and hurriedly said: "That's right, we are now in front of a temple site that we accidentally discovered in the Longling Mountains!"

The so-called archaeology refers to any place with cultural and historical value, whether it is murals, ruins, or even ancient temples, it can be used for archaeology!

It is not as many people misunderstand that archeology is called archeology only if you have to find ancient tombs.

Ordinary archaeologists would not go out of their way to excavate ancient tombs. Unless they were sure that the ancient tomb contained important historical and cultural information, they would apply for official approval and start rescue excavations!
After the ancient tomb is excavated, if conditions permit, a museum will be built directly on the ancient tomb, and all the cultural relics will be restored and displayed for tourists to visit.

A few ancient tombs that are not suitable for the development of museums will also package the cultural relics in them and transport them to large museums such as the Capital Museum to display these cultural relics.

Closer to home.

It was a coincidence that Shao Guofeng and the others found this temple.

The Longling Mountains are located on the Loess Plateau dozens of miles outside Lantian County, stretching for hundreds of kilometers.

This place also has a nickname called Longling Miku!

Here, one mound is next to another, and the drop is huge!

There are also some places that will break if you step on it, and will fall into the hollow.

Those hollows are connected to the caves in Longling Mountain, criss-crossing, if you accidentally fall into it, it is extremely easy to lose your way.

Therefore, even locals rarely set foot in the Longling Mountains.

But some time ago, there was a torrential rain in Gulan County. The torrential rain washed away a temple tablet from the temple buried under the loess!
After the local people discovered the temple stele, they immediately reported it to the Gulan County Archaeological Team.

After the archaeological team dispatched an excavator and cleaned it up for several days, the temple was rediscovered.

but……

Although the temple was excavated, Shao Guofeng and the team members had a difficult time, because they found that no matter whether it was the stone tablet in front of the temple or the text on the murals inside the temple, they couldn't understand it at all!
After listening to Shao Guofeng's narration, Su Chen smiled and said, "So that's the case, then please Captain Shao take a picture of the temple stele, and I'll see what the words are!"

Shao Guofeng nodded, and quickly took the live broadcast equipment to the front of the temple, a temple tablet about one meter high.

Seeing this temple tablet, Su Chen was slightly taken aback.

The overall appearance of this temple tablet is black, and the material is a bit like black jade.There is still half a broken animal head on the top of the stele, and there are patterns carved beside the inscription, but the wear is so severe that you can barely see the pattern of the pattern.

There are three characters engraved in the middle of the stele, all of which are oracle bone inscriptions, which are a kind of hieroglyphs in ancient times.

but!

Su Chen was a little surprised that the text on the stele seemed to be carved from the back, which was far from the degree of damage of the stele.

In other words, this stele existed very early, and then someone took it as a temple stele and engraved three oracle bone inscriptions on it!
Shao Guofeng saw that Su Chen didn't speak, but kept staring at the temple stele in a daze, so he opened his mouth to remind him.

"Professor Su, can you see it clearly? This kind of writing looks like a pattern. Our archaeological team analyzed it ourselves, and we can probably guess that the first word should be fish."

Su Chen nodded, and after sorting out her thoughts, she spoke slowly.

"First of all, this kind of writing is called oracle bone inscriptions, which are the earliest writing invented by the ancient ancestors. The meaning of these three characters is also simple, and it is called Yubone Temple!"

"Captain Shao, move the camera away a little bit, and let the netizens see the whole picture of this temple!"

Hearing Su Chen's words, Shao Guofeng hurriedly took a few steps back.

Soon, the audience in the live broadcast room saw a temple built with fish bones as the frame, appearing on the screen.

Because of the close distance just now, the audience really didn't realize that the two adult-tall gateposts of the temple were actually the teeth of the big fish!
【My god, how big is this fish! 】

[Outrageous, could it be that the ancients killed a whale, then brought its bones to Gulan County, and built a temple? 】

[I guess so, this fish feels about the same size as a blue whale! 】

[But Gulan County is separated from the sea by hundreds of thousands of miles, why did the ancients spend so much effort? 】

Just when netizens were puzzled and asked questions, and the bullet screen was flooding.

Shao Guofeng also asked the doubts in his heart.

"Professor Su, do you think these bone pillars supporting the temple are fish bones? But, this fish is too big. Could it be the bones of blue whales in the sea?"

Su Chen shook her head with a smile.

"Of course not. Gulan County is thousands of miles away from the sea, and it belongs to the inland plateau! The ancients didn't have nothing to do, so why would they do such a thankless thing!"

"Actually, the fishbone that built this temple is an extinct freshwater fish!"

Hearing this, all the archaeological team from Gulan County who gathered together screamed out in shock!

"Freshwater fish?"

"Professor Su, are you sure you're not joking with us? The fish bones and teeth alone are taller than us. Where can freshwater fish grow so big!"

"That's right, Professor Su, I used to like to watch documentaries about giant monsters in the lake, but the largest freshwater fish is more than three meters long and weighs two to three hundred catties. It is absolutely impossible to reach seven or eight meters and weigh several tons. !"

"Even if these bones belong to fish, they can only be fish in the deep sea, never freshwater fish!"

Su Chen shook his head, and said lightly: "Who said there is no such thing? A long time ago, a prehistoric overlord salamander was discovered in the Kunlun Glacier! Biology is a miracle. Facing the unknown, you should remain in awe and carefully verify it." , instead of drawing conclusions arbitrarily!"

After training the team members casually, Su Chen continued to explain: "Gulan County is on the only way of the Yellow River, and in the section of the Yellow River in Gulan County, there have always been legends about the Iron-headed Dragon King! According to legend, the Iron-headed Dragon King It is tens of meters high, and its eyes are bigger than a house!"

"Of course, this statement is false and exaggerated! However, the Iron-headed Dragon King does exist. It is a freshwater catfish, whose scientific name is Jinjia catfish! It can grow up to five meters in size and weigh more than a ton!"

"It's just that this kind of golden armored catfish is considered extinct, and there is no living golden armored catfish."

"I guess this fishbone temple is where the ancients captured the golden-armored catfish! Because they were afraid of the golden-armored catfish, which is the revenge of the dead soul of the Iron-headed Dragon King in the future, they used its bones to build this temple."

Seeing that the archaeologists still couldn't believe it, Su Chen didn't bother with this issue, but just gave them a general introduction.

Of course, the construction of the Fishbone Temple is much more complicated than this.

The real reason is actually Zhang Sanlian's apprentice, Jin Abacus!He promoted the construction of the Fishbone Temple behind his back, with the purpose of Li Chunfeng's tomb buried under the Longling Mountains!
