I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 431 Sound of the Year

It may also be that the original owner had a very stable temper. When Chang Ningchen came to this world, he treated people and things in a peaceful manner and looked a lot gentler.

In order to better understand the cultural relics, Chang Ningchen clicked on the item exploration function and the communication function. This golden finger can help them communicate with the cultural relics.

Dongfang He is in the process of switching the exploration of various ancient tombs, but their abilities are somewhat against the will of heaven, so Dongfang He's function can only be switched once a month, and Chang Ningchen's function can only be used once a day, and can only be asked for five minutes at a time.

If the times were different, people of that era would not be able to see them, and they could only look and ask, and nothing in the ancient tomb could be taken away.

Dongfang He and Chang Ningchen chose the tomb of the Zeng State monarch, where the largest bronze chime bells were unearthed. (Meow Meow still won't write the tomb owner's name, just use Zeng State monarch instead, muah! ^3^!)

The burial pit is 21 meters long from east to west and 6.58 meters wide from north to south, covering a total area of 220 square meters. This large tomb was unprecedented in the flower-growing country at the time, and this type of rock-cut vertical pit tomb was also the first discovered in the South!

The Corps originally wanted to blast rocks at the excavation site, and it took several blasts before they were sure there was an ancient tomb underneath. This also shows how hidden the tomb's location was and how solid the tomb chamber was.

Unfortunately, this tomb was also visited by tomb robbers. Fortunately, thanks to the persistence of archaeological experts, the tomb has seen the light of day again.

There are 47 giant stone slabs covering the tomb. Archaeologists used a large crane to uncover the stone slabs and found that underneath the stone slabs was rammed earth about 250 centimeters thick, and under the rammed earth was a layer of green mud 10 to 30 centimeters thick, and under the green mud was a thick layer of charcoal. The total weight of this thick layer of charcoal reached 6 kilograms.

This shows the enormous size of the tomb and the meticulous care taken during the burial. However, the tomb chamber was flooded and most of the burial objects were submerged, so rescue excavations were necessary.

This time, the coffin of the tomb owner was found in the east chamber of the tomb. According to experts' analysis, the tomb owner was the king of this area and possessed supreme power and wealth, otherwise his burial objects would not be so many and so exquisite.

There are 21 accompanying coffins for the tomb owner, and among them are young women aged 13 to 25.

The archaeological team also discovered 13 wooden coffins for human sacrifice in the west room.

Now that Chang Ningchen had the ability to communicate with cultural relics, he wanted to chat with the ancients, so he found the owner of the tomb. When the other party knew that they were the archaeological team digging his tomb, he spent the remaining four minutes interrogating them in beautiful Chinese.

He didn't use a single curse word throughout the whole process, but it felt like he was cursing very dirty. He excitedly wanted to call for help several times to chop them into meat sauce, but when he realized that he couldn't call anyone, he just started to verbally output until the time was up.

Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He were a little confused, but if they put themselves in their shoes, they would think about it: their bodies were lying well in the tomb, and suddenly they were dug out thousands of years later, and all their burial objects were happily taken away. Anyone would be angry, let alone the self-important king of a country at that time?

Then the next day, Chang Ningchen planned to ask the young ladies who accompanied the tomb owner in the coffin. But they cried for more than four minutes in five minutes. It was estimated that they did not want to be buried with the tomb owner at that time. After all, who would want to be buried with the tomb owner in their prime?

On the third day, Chang Ningchen hoped that he could ask an emotionally stable ancestor this time, so he went to the west room to ask about the remains in the wooden coffin. Fortunately, the other party was a middle-aged man who sounded very mature. He was also the monarch's craftsman.

Speaking of craftsman Chang Ningchen, he thinks of the burial objects unearthed from the tomb, which include not only musical instruments, weapons and daily necessities, but also a high-tech ice jar, which is an ancient refrigerator.

The Bingjian, which could be used as a refrigerator in the summer and warm wine in the winter, is truly a multifunctional piece of high-tech furniture! Furthermore, each of the unearthed burial objects is incredibly intricate and exquisite. The number of coiled dragons on the zun plate is particularly striking, with so many that it would make even someone with trypophobia cringe, let alone the craftsmen who crafted it.

The musical instruments can still produce moving sounds with high pitch!

The musical instrument produced was the world's largest bronze chime, which alone shocked people both at home and abroad!

The man didn't seem to understand the situation. He asked, "What's going on, Moss?"

Dongfang He translated: "Why is he asking?"

Chang Ningchen asked: "Master! What do you do?"

The man replied: "I'm a craftsman!"

Chang Ningchen: "What enables you to create such excellent works?"

Craftsman: "What a waste! If I make it wrong, my whole family will be killed!"

Dongfang He translated: "Nine Clans Defense War."

Chang Ningchen nodded, then realized what was happening and asked, "Then why did you die anyway?"

Craftsman: "If I don't die, I will be defeated! The king's order cannot be disobeyed!"

Dongfang He translated: "Only one good craftsman dies, but a whole group of bad craftsmen die. A good craftsman's death for the king brings honor to the family, while a bad one will be eliminated by the king manually."

Chang Ningchen couldn't help but sigh that these exquisite utensils were not only the blood and sweat of countless craftsmen, but also the ties between them and the nine clans. It would be nothing if he died of exhaustion, but if he didn't do it well and made the king angry, it would really cost the lives of the whole clan!

Craftsman: "What the hell is Moss?"

After being asked for a long time, the craftsman still didn't understand what Chang Ningchen and his team did, so he went back to the original question.

Chang Ningchen saw that there was still some time, so he said, "We are archaeologists, and we will help you see the light of day again!"

The craftsman opened his eyes and said, "Damn it, you dug a grave and stuffed it?"

Understanding this, Chang Ningchen nodded awkwardly: "We are conducting a rescue excavation. Don't worry, the tools you create will amaze people all over the world!"

Dongfang He translated: "The king has been unearthed, and will be watched by the people in the future."

These people were so arrogant that they wanted to display the emperor's corpse! The craftsman was a little panicked at first, but then he thought about how he was already dead and had been forced to be buried alive. Knowing that the emperor would be dug up and displayed to the public a thousand years later, he laughed happily and said, "Great!"

Then the time came and the craftsman's soul disappeared. Chang Ningchen sighed that the people of the flower-growing family still had a sense of unwillingness in their bones. After all, they had been oppressed for so long, and they were still very happy to hear that the king was not living a good life after their death.

Chang Ningchen thought of something else and said, "To think that someone has to be dug out after death and be watched by everyone seems to be disrespectful to the deceased."

Dongfang He calmly replied, “He enjoyed wealth and prosperity for so long during his lifetime, and after his death, he mobilized so much labor and material resources. He was both the king and the exploiter of that era.

Of course, he's also a witness to history, standing against time and the wisdom of his time, preserving a treasure. And how can we protect it if we don't dig it up? And while it's buried, no one knows how wealthy he was during his lifetime. Now that it's been unearthed, it's a wealth that will amaze the world!
