Chapter 341 Big Dipper Orb

This and the story fragments revealed by Li Heng's silk map, it seems that they can be connected in series to form a story, but they can't be connected in such a way.

Because many parts are missing, it needs to be retrieved and put together one by one, so that this story can be considered complete.

"This is another silk map. This Treasure Fighting Conference is so exciting. If you can see this miraculous change in your lifetime, even if you die, you will die without regrets!"

"However, what is the relationship between the Great Wall, the tribute, and Li Heng's previous situation after the subjugation of the country?"

For a while, everyone was curious about the relationship between this silk map and Li Heng's silk map.

Some experts who specialize in the study of calligraphy and painting works stared at the silk map and did not relax for a long time.

After watching for a long time, one of the experts finally said: "The location of this Great Wall pass should be around the Yanmen Pass. If I read correctly, this Yanmen Pass is the Yanmen Pass that the Huns continued to invade southward and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty started counterattacking and repairing Yanmen Pass. Famous generals Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Guang of the Han Dynasty all galloped inside and outside the ancient fortress of Yanmen, defeated the Xiongnu many times, and made great contributions.”

"In addition, the recipient of tribute should be Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Wusun Kingdom united to repel the Xiongnu who had invaded the border for many years, causing the Xiongnu to retreat steadily..."

"But what does this have to do with the Big Dipper? Why do you want to transform the Big Dipper on the back of the one-horned golden toad into such a mechanism? Didn't the three-legged golden toad become popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties?" Someone asked a question soon.

The expert stroked the question and said, "These three clans of golden toads are said to be ancient mythical beasts that existed in the prehistoric times, and the study of astronomy in the Han Dynasty was based on the 'Five Stars Out of the East' by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. China's blessing can be said to be extremely prosperous for a while."

The ancients were not as backward and ignorant as imagined.

During the Western Han Dynasty, their research on astronomy was very developed, and they recorded quite a lot of information on the observation and understanding of astrology.

Not only are there detailed astronomical records, but also the research on astronomy is very popular.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, many Chinese inventions, such as the famous armillary sphere and the water clock, were manufactured to find the positions of the 28 constellations of the zodiac, judge the seasons, and predict good and bad luck.

The ancients divided the starry sky near the ecliptic into several areas, called 28 constellations, and connected these 28 constellations with the four phenomena according to azimuth and season, including the Big Dipper.

It is recorded in Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng": "The old county of Yuzhang, the new mansion of Hongdu. The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Henglu."

The "dividing field" inside is that ancient astrologers used changes in celestial phenomena to predict good and bad fortunes. They corresponded to the starry sky areas in the sky and the countries and states on the earth, which are called dividing fields.

In other words, it is to regard a certain star as the division of a certain country, or conversely regard a certain country as the division of a certain star.Maybe this is the source of the connection between the Big Dipper and the silk map.

After listening to the expert's explanation, many people nodded.

Zhao Erwen nodded in agreement and said, "It seems that this painting is indeed closely related to Li Heng's painting!"

He himself was surprised and delighted.

Fortunately, he saw the ingenuity of this mechanism and discovered the hidden treasure.If you really wanted to make a judgment rashly like the public just now, then you would be sorry for this strange treasure.

However, after looking at Boss Qin's silk map, Zhao Erwen had to go back to the material of the Big Dipper Pearl.

Because before the Han Dynasty, most of the jewelry materials in China were divided into gold, silver, ivory, animal bones, nephrite and so on.

The nephrite jade refers to the current Hetian jade, but in the Han Dynasty, the definition of jade was not as detailed as it is now.As long as it is a beautiful stone, it can all be attributed to jade.And the rubies and sapphires that appeared in the later period only appeared after the Silk Road in the Western Regions was opened.

The key point is the micro-carving process used above.

Micro-carving, as the name suggests, is a small and fine carving technique, which has been called "stunt skill" in the past dynasties.In the Han Dynasty when there was nothing at that time, if this kind of skill appeared, it can be seen how high the level of craftsmen at that time had reached.

After seeking the opinions of other experts, Zhao Erwen stretched out his hand, and with a gentle pull, took off the Big Dipper Pearl on his back.

The moment the Big Dipper Star Bead was taken out, those strange appearances disappeared instantly.

The galloping wolves in the sky and the vivid scene on the silk map completely returned to their normal appearance the moment the Big Dipper orb was taken out.

Zhao Erwen had a panoramic view of this scene and was secretly startled.

He looked at the seven orbs again and weighed them in his palm for a long time. He seemed to have found something, but it was hard to judge, so he decided to hand it over to other experts for discussion.

Zhao Erwen took out one of the beads, which was the only one he wasn't sure about.

On the open palm, what entered everyone's eyes was a bead exuding flowing golden light, with golden running water patterns on it, sparkling and very beautiful.

After listening to Zhao Erwen's thoughts, everyone also felt that this bead is very unique. It is not as exquisite and clear as other gemstones, and it feels a little heavy in the hand, but it is more like wood like huanghuali.

Everyone knows that there are wood grains on the wood, and there are some species of huanghuali or other woods that are relatively hard, but they are not sure about this bead.

Zhao Erwen touched the beads, thought for a long time, and finally took out a bottle of mineral water and a disposable paper cup from the table, and poured the water and beads into the cup.

As if confirming his thoughts, Zhao Erwen was pleasantly surprised to find that the bead actually floated in the water!

"This may be gloomy wood..." Zhao Erwen said with a smile on his excited face.

I have seen huanghuali rosewood and the like, but only this feature is not found in other wood species. It is a precious gift from time and nature!
"Gloomy wood?"

Seeing that the other judges seemed a little confused, Zhao Erwen simply explained here: "If this is explained in scientific terms, it is that after thousands of years of nature, under special geographical conditions, three kinds of microorganisms such as hypoxia, high pressure, and bacteria The gift of nature that has been indispensable for a long time. Carbonized wood is also called ebony because it is black when it first comes out. After this kind of gloomy wood is polished, it has a great chance to get this gilt-like shading color .”

"In ancient times, there were also things used to ward off evil spirits. There is also a saying that half a square of ebony at home is better than a box of treasures. Emperors and generals of all dynasties dreamed of getting this gloomy wood as a material for longevity. It is a pity that this material It is rare in the first place, and the conditions for forming gloomy wood are very harsh..."

The judges didn't quite understand what Yin Shenmu was at first, but after hearing Zhao Erwen's words, they were all shocked beyond their control.

They have also seen it in history, this wood is rare, and a cubic meter is worth a million gold...then the value of this one-horned golden toad is even more expensive!
The point is not here!
How can things from different ages be concentrated on this point?
This kind of weird and bizarre thing happened right under their noses!
They all looked at the one-horned golden toad and the silk map, and couldn't understand how these things came together or how they came here.

Not only Zhao Erwen and other judges and experts couldn't explain it, but even Qin Tianen himself didn't quite understand why these things were collected into one kind of treasure.

"Director Zhao, I think, let's finally go and invite the three tasters? This is the first time in my life that I have seen the visions that have appeared one after another in the past two days!"

"To be honest, I can explain one or two things about Li Heng's silk map. He achieved the effect by a special method, but on this one-horned golden toad, there is a wolf smoke and a silk map, so... really I can't explain it."

"Yes, just the high mountains, the flat grasslands, the majestic passes and the vast roads, paying tribute to show loyalty...and what kind of cave this morning, there is another world in the cave, it is too difficult to understand."

Zhao Erwen listened to the words of the people around him, nodded, and finally decided to invite the three tasters out of the mountain.

When he turned around and told the other organizers about the specific situation, the organizers were all surprised, and immediately sent staff to find the third person to taste the palm eye.

At this time, the judges and experts were at a loss as to the secret of the golden toad, and the people below began to point out one after another, and Li Heng and Lin Weiya followed suit.

Li Heng also wanted to ponder why the golden toad had a silk map and what the Big Dipper beads on the back said.
