Uncovering the Earth: The Strongest Explorer
Chapter 113
In the following days, Yang Chan kept searching underground.
He searched the entire ruins of Xia Yin City.
The ruins are very large, which can prove that the city was not small at that time.
Gates, houses, palaces, etc., all have fragments to prove its existence.
The Xia people have formed a large scale here, but they were too hasty.
Yang Pra has figured out why the Xia people fled here.
Because he found many pieces of tortoise shells, which recorded what happened at that time.
After the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, the remaining members of their clan had been on the run.
I originally wanted to flee south to another continent.
Yang Pray guessed that it was the American continent.
What surprised him was that they actually knew about the American continent during the Xia Dynasty.
This also confirms that the ancient Indians did escape from here.
Most likely, it went directly from the cold Antarctic?
This is incredible...
As for why it is Antarctica and not the North Pole, because the North Pole is not a continent.
And Antarctica, you know it just by the name.
It is a complete continent.
What is very strange is that since the ancient Indians at that time could take boats, why did they have to cross from Antarctica?
Why not just go across the Pacific?
Does Antarctica hold any secrets?
Yang Pra wrote it down.
However, the Xia people did not go that far.
They had just reached the Yangtze River area.
When they crossed the river, they found that Shang Tang's men were no longer pursuing them.
So I settled here.
Then came the disaster, and only a few people escaped.
This is where the sheepskin map comes from.
After finding out the origin of the Xia people, Yang Chan no longer had any doubts.
Within a few days, he found thousands of bronze artifacts in the ruins.
In addition to bronzes, there are also some tortoise shells and some carriers with written texts.
Of course, the most valuable ones are definitely bronzes.
Among them are those used for sacrifices and 'bowls' for daily use.
There are also some weapons, long hair, guns, knives, harpoons and so on.
It is recorded in the text that Dayu used the gold sacrificed by various states to make nine tripods to suppress the nine states.
It seems that every story has its origin.
There are also pottery and jades, but there are not many.
And the pottery basically turned into pieces.
After all, during the natural disaster at that time, no one had to save it, let alone these pottery.
These potteries are mostly made of muddy gray pottery and sand-filled pottery, followed by black pottery and brown pottery, and only a few pieces of red pottery.
Jade is very valuable.
The ancients liked jade very much and thought it was precious, and only with jade could there be gods.
Princes and nobles basically all have jade pendants.
There are also some production tools and so on.
It reflects the living standards and civilization of people at that time.
Of course, what concerned Yang Chan the most were the two most precious things.
It can be called a national treasure.
The great weapon of the country.
One is a bronze sword, and the other is a large jade sword.
The bronze sword is about one meter three, which is 130 centimeters.
Like other items, it has soil stains.
Yang Pra washed very seriously this time and wiped away all the soil stains.
Then I could clearly see what the sword really looked like.
There are twenty-eight constellations and twenty-eight characters engraved on it.
The back is engraved with mountains, rivers, sun and moon.
This is the legendary Sun Moon Mountain Sword.
Also known as Xia Qijian.
It was cast by Si Qi, the son of Dayu.
This sword is considered one of the five legendary imperial swords.
Historical records record that Xia Qi's sword held the mountain, Taijia's sword repented, Qin Wang's sword encouraged himself, Wu Wang's sword played harp, and Qianlong's sword was in the Qing palace's old collection.
Xia Qijian is used to hold down mountains.
When Yang Yan completely changed it into its original appearance, he was also shocked.
Xia Qi's sword seemed to be emitting light without a trace of rust, which meant that it was very sharp.
Even after being buried underground for so many years, it still can't stop its edge.
Later, Yang Pray tested its sharpness.
A very thick book, easily scratched.
Very sharp.
If it were a human being, I probably wouldn’t be able to resist it.
Although it cannot reach the legendary level of cutting iron like clay, it can also prove that the craftsmen at that time had superb memory.
Every famous sword that has left its name in history is extraordinary.
Especially this kind of emperor's sword.
Xia Qi wanted to use it to suppress Qin Shan.
The other piece of jade is the legendary Huang of the Queen of Xia.
The Queen of Xia's Huang is the Xuanhuang, a true imperial jade.
When talking about the Queen of Xia's Huang, we have to talk about He's Bi.
Ancient people often launched large-scale wars because of these two jade articles.
He's Bi is very famous, with the story of the completed jade returning to Zhao.
Qin Shihuang later made it into a jade seal that passed down the country, and engraved it with eight characters:"I am commanded by heaven, and I will live forever and prosper."
As for the Queen of Xia, there are not so many stories.
But it is also famous.
Queen of Xia is the title of the monarch of Xia Dynasty
《"The Book of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Western Classics" says:"In the field of great happiness, Queen Xia started to dance"Nine Dynasties" here, riding two dragons, with three layers of cloud cover. The left hand held the shade, the right hand held the ring, and the jade huang was worn. In the north of the Dayun Mountain"
《The Huang of the Xia Hou family was mentioned four times in"Huainanzi":"If a husband has a Huang of the Xia Hou family, if he hides it in a box, he will find the treasure."
Including"Spiritual Training"》,《"Fan Lun Xun" contains records about the emperor of the Xia Dynasty.
And they all compare it with Heshi Bi.
The Queen of Xia's Huang is in the shape of a crescent moon.
The jade is inlaid with the ground-reducing technique, leaving the bottom to form the outline of the animal's face. Two round jade stones are set on the top for the eyes, the eye sockets are the bottom of the Huang, the mountain-shaped bottom is the outline of the mouth, the inside is inlaid with square turquoise, and the four sides are left for the bottom. The borders are exquisite.
The craftsmanship reached its peak at that time.
Due to its age, recrystallization spots appear on the jade surface, which shows the vicissitudes of thousands of years.
There are two inscriptions on it.
Seal script.
It means"working together".
Xuanhuang is considered to be a gift from God and is admired by emperors.
And the word"Gong Gong" is engraved on it.
Gonggong is one of the gods of China, especially one who appeared in myths at that time.
Water gods work together.
Then it goes with the legend about Dayu at that time.
When Dayu controlled the water, he existed like the water god Gong Gong.
The monstrous floods were all controlled by Dayu. Could it be that the Xia Dynasty could not exist?
Yang Pra didn't know if Gonggong and Zhurong really existed.
But at least Xia Qi thought they existed.
And the myth was already circulating at that time.
Therefore, the Xia people engraved the word"Gonggong" on the Huang of later generations of Xia.
It was nothing more than for the glory of Dayu.
Although it is not as mysterious as Heshi Bi and carries the great fortune of the country.
But the Queen of Xia's Huang is definitely an important weapon of the country.
Unparalleled and priceless.
Among the Xia Xu cultural relics that Yang Pra found, these three are definitely the most important.
Xia Yuding, Xia Qijian, Xia Huang later generations.
Two of them are related to Dayu.
Although they all deified him.
One is a story full of mythical nature, and the second directly compares his achievements to Gonggong.
This is all Xia Qi's attempt to consolidate his position.
After all, he is the first king passed down from his family.
Before, there was a system of abdication. From Shun and Yao to Yu, there was a system of abdication.
If Dao Qi suddenly becomes a family tradition, many people will definitely object.
Therefore, after Yu used force to pacify Jiuzhou and built the Jiuzhou tripod.
Xia Qi felt unsafe, so it was reasonable for him to work hard to promote his status.
This also inspired future emperors.
So one by one they followed Xia Qi's example... that is, looking for their ancestors.
