Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 11



Hearing my complaint, Wang shook his head and said, "Yunfeng, you are the one who is being reckless this time, you must be careful and careful in our line of work, lest you be caught by someone else."

I apologized and said, "I'm sorry to get my head around, I'll definitely pay attention next time."

Wang picked up his teacup and blew, frowning and said: "But you are Wang Xiansheng's man after all, Yunfeng, what? You want to get back the scene?"

Without hesitation, I subconsciously blurted out, "I think, get over it, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage."

Wang took a sip of tea, put the lid on the tea and said, "We just established the base yesterday, and now we must keep a low profile. My personal advice to you is to bear with it first, and when we finish this job and leave Shunde, I say hello to a mole, there is someone on her way."

I immediately nodded and said yes.

In the small warehouse of the hotel we rented, there were still several bags of green and white soil, but Wang Baotou didn’t ask me to disperse the soil. He arranged for me to do some other work in the afternoon. Wang Baotou asked me to follow Boss Sun to help him deal with yesterday’s Batch of bronzes.

When I walked to the warehouse, I suddenly smelled a strong smell of cumin seasoning. When I took a closer look, I didn’t know who set up a charcoal grill at the door of the warehouse. seasoning.

Boss Sun is in charge of cashing things out. Of course, he has to do a good job before cashing out.

"Brother Sun, I'm Yunfeng, let me help you," I knocked on the warehouse door.

Boss Sun opened the door for me. He was wearing a white protective suit, leather gloves and plastic goggles.

After entering the warehouse, there were several bronze wares on the ground, and a large white leather bucket beside it. There was half a bucket of translucent liquid in the leather bucket, and the smell was very pungent.

He threw me a set of protective gear and said, "Yunfeng, put it on."

Although I don't understand it, I still put on my protective gear.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Seeing him throwing a red-spotted mercury-rusted bronze cup into the leather bucket, I asked suspiciously.

As soon as the rusty bronze vessel touched the liquid in the leather bucket, it immediately began to bubbling. The pungent smell just now became stronger, a bit like the smell of urea.

Boss Sun pointed to the Bronze Jue soaked in liquid and said: "Yunfeng, in our industry, my current trick is called killing greens. The chemical formula ratio of this water is prepared by a master."

"Finished? What does that mean, brother?"

Mr. Sun laughed and said: "Finishing is to remove the black skin. The mercury rust in the puddle is penetrating, and this kind of penetrating rust covers a large area, which will easily cover up some inscriptions. If that is the case, we can It's a big loss."

Boss Sun continued: "People on the road in the south call this work Shaxie, and we call it Shaqing in the north. Yunfeng, remember that for the bronze wares of the Western Zhou and Warring States, the square tripod is five times more expensive than the round tripod, and the one with the inscription is better than the one without the inscription. The tomb is ten times more expensive, and those with more than five inscription characters, one more character, costs 3 yuan more. This tomb is from the middle and early Western Zhou Dynasty. Looking at the pattern of the empowerment, so many bronze wares can be buried in the ear chamber at one time. The owner of the tomb At worst, it should be a small prince in the southern region." Boss Sun analyzed me in a straight-forward manner.

"If the inscription with the identity of the owner of the tomb is washed out, if we are lucky and this little prince has a name in the history books, then we have really picked up a big deal!"

After listening to Boss Sun’s explanation, it dawned on me at this moment that there were so many conversations in the middle, and the barbecue stand outside the door just now, I now know that Boss Sun made it up on purpose, just to cover up the time of the finale. This stimulating taste.

Wear leather gloves because this kind of water is corrosive. You do this to protect yourself. If the water used to polish the bronze ware accidentally splashes into the eyes, it will be much more violent than those made of copper-nickel alloy. It can blind people's eyes with scum!

Soak for more than 20 minutes, and then brush the rust with a hard-haired shoe brush. You can't brush too hard, and you can't brush off all the mercury rust. As long as you can confirm that there is no inscription on the piece, you can stop brushing.

Wearing gloves and holding a shoe brush, I brushed several pieces of bronze ware in a row. I looked very carefully, but I didn't see a single inscription character. This made me feel a little downcast.

When Boss Sun saw me like this, he brushed a piece of bronze He and said with a smile: "Yunfeng, don't be so discouraged. This thing is all about fate. When fate comes, it will be there. If fate is not in place, you can't force it."

At this time, I was brushing a small bronze bean. I rubbed the inside of the bronze bean with a shoe brush a few times. I don’t know if it’s my eyesight.

"Huh? What is this?" I raised the bronze bean and rubbed it hard twice.

"Brother! Look quickly, brother! I've drawn the characters! There are inscriptions in this bronze bean! The strokes are very complicated! It's like ghostly drawn symbols," I shouted excitedly to Mr. Sun.

He took the Bronze Bean and looked at it twice.

Boss Sun looked at the several gilt inscriptions exposed on the surface of the bronze ware, frowned and said: "This... this inscription is not a bird seal, nor is it an oracle bone inscription. How come, why did it appear on the bronze wares of the Western Zhou Dynasty?" Boss Sun's eyes were full of puzzlement.

The ancient bronze inscriptions are not the characters of the Jin Dynasty, but a kind of ancient characters. Its traceable source may be before the oracle bone inscriptions, that is, before the Yin and Shang Dynasties.Boss Sun was well-informed, and he concluded at a glance that the bronze bean was not a bird seal, but a six-fold seal in ancient bronze inscriptions!

After frowning, he was excited, and Boss Sun said: "Yunfeng, you continue to write the rest, the inscriptions of the six-fold seal script in ancient bronze script are too rare, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can translate this kind of script. We must hurry up and find someone to help, and find someone to help translate what these inscriptions mean."

Boss Sun put the bronze ware with the inscription in the wooden box, and then he took the wooden box and went out directly.

Later, until the cleaning was completed, I did not print out the bronze vessels with inscriptions, but only one piece.

We do this during the day, but we still have to do business at night. When everyone is asleep, we have to go to the pit to rob the tomb at night, but Boss Sun ran away in a hurry in the afternoon and never came back. If Boss Sun doesn’t come, there will be one less person to let the wind , This is very dangerous, and veterans dare not take such risks.

That night, Boss Sun came back after 12 o'clock. He was out of breath and holding a wooden box in his hand. I knew that the bronze bean with the inscription was contained in the box.

Boss Sun didn't have time to talk, he ran to the table, picked up the teapot, and drank half of the pot of tea.

Wiping his mouth, Boss Sun looked at Wang's head and said, "His head, I found some connections with the Institute of Archeology, and those six-fold seal inscriptions were translated."

"Oh? What did you write?" Wang raised his head and asked.

Boss Sun opened the wooden box, touched the bronze beans inside, and said four words with a cold face.

"Mustard scallops."
