Chapter 1096 – The tragedy triggered by two magi

Zhuang Rui with aura identification, these years also divided out a little law, the closer the age, the lower the value of the object things, generally show the color of the aura is lighter, like the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China that will be the things, most of them are white aura.

And the early Qing dynasty to the Ming dynasty antiques, the color gradually deepened, from yellowish to orange to red, extremely valuable and often be worshiped to play things, there will also show a deep red and purple color.

And before the Ming Dynasty, like the Three Kingdoms, Tang and Song dynasty treasures, often show are purple, as for the Spring and Autumn and Warring States bronze, is to deep purple mostly, and also appeared in purple gold color, for a long time, Zhuang Rui is the use of the color of the aura in the identification of antiques, but today, this method is out of effect.

Because in forty meters underground, that is like a palace in the Qin Shi Huang’s chambers, almost all things are presented with a purple-gold color, rich aura filled in Zhuang Rui’s eyes, warm very comfortable, even in the Potala Palace or pirate treasure, Zhuang Rui have never seen so rich and pure aura.

“Poor a country’s strength, Qin Shi Huang in the end scavenged how many treasures ah!”

Due to the aura touching the place, almost all of them are exotic treasures, so want to identify the things inside the underground palace is very difficult, Zhuang Rui slowly quiet down, he wants to try to distinguish what these objects inside the underground palace, after all, for thousands of years, the treasures in the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin Shi Huang, so that many grave robbers and archaeologists tend to rush to, but none of them can really decipher the situation inside the underground palace.

“This …… should be bamboo slips, legend has it that Qin Shi Huang burned books and pitted scholars, could it be that he moved all the bamboo slips inside the underground palace?”

Zhuang Rui felt the aura into a dungeon bedchamber, although the eyes feel everywhere is purple and gold aura presence, but Zhuang Rui found that in the middle of these auras, there seems to be a line of division, from the size of a slender object, like the bamboo slips used by the ancient people of the Warring States as well as the Qin Dynasty to record the text.

The area of this room was about thirty to forty square feet, and it was almost filled with objects that resembled bamboo slips, making Zhuang Rui unable to help but think about it.

In the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Dr. Chun Yu Yue of Qi opposed the “county system” and demanded to divide the children according to the ancient system. Prime Minister Li Si refuted this and advocated to prohibit the people from using the past as opposed to the present, and slandering the imperial government with his private studies.

Qin Shi Huang adopted Li Si’s suggestion, and ordered to burn the historical records of other countries other than the Qin Chronicle, and the private collection of poems and books not belonging to the Doctor’s Hall was also burned, and those who dared to talk about poems and books were executed, and those who defamed the government with their private studies were exterminated; and private studies were prohibited, and those who wanted to learn the decree were required to take the officials as their teachers. This is the “book burning”.

The next year, two magicians (practice Kung Fu alchemy people) Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng secretly slandered Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and died, Emperor Qin Shi Huang learned of this matter, furious, sent the imperial censor to investigate the trial down to the offender of the prohibition of more than four hundred and sixty people, all pitted against the two magicians triggered by the tragedy, that is, “pit the Confucianism”, the two things synthesize The two events were synthesized into the “burning of books and burying of scholars”.

The reason why Qin Shi Huang was later dynasty crowned “tyrant” name, is because of this matter, “burning books and burying scholars” has been the evidence of Qin Shi Huang’s cruelty and tyranny, by the later generations of the world of scholars scorned for more than 2,000 years, so much so that now some people think of this historical event So much so that nowadays when some people think of this historical event, they are still haunted by it, and they hate that they cannot dig up the graves and flog the corpses, and they hate that they cannot penetrate into the space and time of more than 2,000 years, and that they cannot knock the bones of Qin Shi Huang.

Can not be denied, Qin Shi Huang’s decision, so that a lot of records of China’s Spring and Autumn and Warring States when the hundred schools of thought of the brilliant civilization of the books extinct, and now know a lot of Qin before the allusion, but also from the back of the unearthed tomb of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States to get the information.

But likewise, burning books and burying scholars on the unification of Chinese culture, also has an indelible huge role, and make the back of the county system can be successfully promoted, creating a unified historical pattern of the Chinese nation, so who is right and who is wrong, the descendants can not give an accurate conclusion, the controversy in the academic community has been very big.

However, people who study history know one thing, that is, from Li Si’s petition can be seen, at that time, all the books of the Qin Dynasty, including the express order to burn, in the palace have left a complete backup.

Just more than two thousand years have passed, no one has found the trace of these books, some historians assert that these books are hidden in the Afan Palace, was Xiang Yu a fire torched, there are historians doubt that these records of the Hundred Schools of Thought of the books, whether it is the Qin Shi Huang income in the underground palace?

So when Zhuang Rui feel these emit aura of bamboo-like objects, the heart can not help but excited up, for archaeologists, in archaeological excavations, there is no more than the text data more valuable treasure.

Because again precious objects, that are always just playthings, at best, can only illustrate the then advanced and developed casting technology, but a civilization if disappeared from the record, it is very difficult to recover, due to the Qin Shi Huang burning books and burying scholars in the event of the Qin Dynasty in China before the Qin Dynasty, there are a lot of mysteries died out in the long river of history.

Zhuang Rui now can almost conclude that he, sensed these things, is the books were burned at that time, Zhuang Rui believe that if these bamboo slips can be unearthed, for historians, it will be a cultural feast, will represent many disappeared historical truth to be resolved, the importance of this discovery, will be no less important than the fossilized skulls of the Peking Man in the last century, the fossil caused by the sensation caused when the fossil was released.

But unfortunately, Zhuang Rui can only feel through the aura of these civilizations that were once thought to have disappeared, and he has no way to take it out of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor intact, because in the process of Zhuang Rui’s downward survey with his aura, he can feel that in the depth of 20 to 30 meters underground, there is indeed a layer of mercury.

These mercury is not like the historical data said that the formation of mountains and rivers, but has been deep into the soil, do not know what reason and did not volatilize away, a full several meters deep, no matter from which place to start digging, have to first contact this layer of mercury body.

Although with the current technology, can eliminate these mercury poison, but no one is sure in the next excavation, can be all the objects in the palace intact preservation, because these two thousand years ago, as long as the object, as soon as the air, I’m afraid that immediately have to deteriorate and rot.

Not to mention, is Zhuang Rui sensed these bamboo books if destroyed, it is absolutely called a disaster, estimates that this is also the modern archaeology and leaders have not made up their minds to excavate the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin Shi Huang’s main reason.

Forced to resist the urge to excavate these legendary civilization, Zhuang Rui very difficult to transfer the aura to other places, one by one induction up, just based on the shape of the aura induction, he can only roughly know, in the middle of the dungeon, placed a huge golden coffin, the rich almost substantial general aura shows that this should be the death of the emperor’s habitat.

“It seems that most of the tales passed down from Qin onwards are also fabrications.”

After sensing this golden coffin, Zhuang Rui remembered an account in the Three Auxiliary Tales, which said that after the death of the First Emperor of Qin, there was once a shepherd boy who herded sheep, and while chasing after his own sheep, he inadvertently crashed inside the First Emperor of Qin’s underground palace, and in order to search for the lost sheep, he lit a fire to illuminate the First Emperor’s coffin and burned it down.

This legend also has a certain market in all dynasties, but hearing is not as good as seeing, Zhuang Rui is now convinced that for more than two thousand years, no one has ever entered within the Qin Shi Huang underground palace.

“Xiao Zhuang, what’s wrong? What are you doing here alone?”

Just as Zhuang Rui was immersed in the bedchamber of the ancient emperor that was full of exotic treasures, Dr. Ren’s voice came over, causing the almost unable to extricate himself, Zhuang Rui woke up violently, and the aura that was spread all over the dungeon returned to his eyes in a mercury-like manner.

Zhuang Rui smiled to himself and said half truthfully, “It’s fine, Dr. Ren, I was trying to see if I could communicate with Qin Shi Huang, which was not …… interrupted off by you.”

“That dare good, you kid ask Qin Shi Huang whether this underground palace left a channel, we also go down to visit.”

Dr. Ren laughed out loud, he once and Professor Meng in 2006 through remote sensing and geophysical detection technology, the underground palace had a full range of investigation, the results show that want to let the underground palace, can only be used to unveil the coffin of the technique of the soil layer by layer to get rid of, but this is will cause the destruction of unearthed artifacts, was unanimously rejected by the many archaeologists.

“Don’t worry! Brother Ren, in our lifetime, we must have the opportunity to see the true face of Qin Shi Huang’s palace.”

Zhuang Rui’s words, heard in Dr. Ren’s ears is nothing more than a joke, but Dr. Ren did not expect, Zhuang Rui is not a target for nothing, in the see the underground palace that the vast remains of civilization, Zhuang Rui has decided in the future personally excavate this carries too much attention of the thousand years of emperor’s mausoleum.

In fact, digging the emperor’s tomb, from the technical point of view, is not completely insurmountable, there is still a way, that is, the first excavation, in the proximity of the underground palace, in the entire excavation site above, built into a vacuum chamber, so that you can ensure that after connecting the underground palace, all the cultural relics will not be damaged because of air circulation.

However, this method only applies to Zhuang Rui, and the investment is huge, but also to fight for the consent of domestic experts and senior leaders, not overnight can be carried out, so at the moment Zhuang Rui can only be deeply in the heart.

Dr. Ren suddenly remembers something and looks at Zhuang Rui and says: “By the way, Zhuang Rui, I just saw that little Japanese yesterday, he wandered around at the Imperial Tomb, and when he saw a few of us, he left in a sneaky manner.”
