Chapter 374 Ancient Shu Kingdom?A fantasy!
Sitting in a teahouse near Shu Street, Cai Yan still didn't understand why Lin Ran bought these strange cultural relics.
"Brother Lin, do they have any special value?" Cai Yan turned the mask over and over, but still couldn't tell the year.
But I find it very strange. Bronze should have rusted after years of washing.
The bronze mask in front of me only has some rust on the face, but the rest of it is intact, which is incredible!
Lin Ran smiled and said: "If I told you that this is the work of aliens, would you believe it?"
Cai Yan was shocked when he heard this. He picked up the bronze mask and looked at it for a while, then asked hastily: "Brother Lin, are there really aliens in the world?"
"I'm kidding you." Lin Ran took a sip of tea and almost choked.
"I'll just say it." Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He had already developed a kind of almost admiring trust in Lin Ran. A top student like him who thinks too highly of himself would once accept the reality that others are better than him. Develop an almost blind trust in others.
This is also the main reason why Cai Yan is not suitable for cultural relic research. After all, he believes in authority too much.
"I asked how there could be aliens, but the shape is really weird." Cai Yan returned the bronze mask to Lin Ran.
Looking at the other two cultural relics, they are also unique in shape and unique.
No wonder some people say that this is a toy made by craftsmen for children, which is more exaggerated than the cultural relics of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"Cai Yan, do you know who in Shuzhou has done research on ancient Shu civilization?" Lin Ran asked.
There are various signs that Sanxingdui has revealed a corner. Although he knows the general location of Sanxingdui, Lin Ran cannot directly disclose the specific location of Sanxingdui ruins, otherwise it will be unclear.
"The civilization of ancient Shu...mostly belong to the Western Han and Eastern Han civilization enthusiasts. The ancient Shu is really rare." Cai Yan thought for a while and suddenly thought of a person and said: "Xu Chunfeng, deputy director of Shuzhou Museum Just the experts in this field.”
Xu Chunfeng?Deputy Director?
Lin Ran thought of the man he met at the Manor Hotel. He was already the acting curator. However, Cai Yan obviously didn't know the specific transfer situation yet.
"Can you take me to see him?" Without further ado, Lin Ran decided to tell him something important.
However, this is also a big gamble.
Having just experienced the Ren Senping incident, the museum and the Archaeological Bureau are not necessarily trustworthy people.
"Let's go." Cai Yan was also unambiguous. He knew that Lin Ran must have something important to do to look so serious.
The two took a taxi to the museum. With Cai Yan's status as a special researcher, they had an unimpeded journey and went straight to the curator's office.
Seeing Cai Yan, Xu Chunfeng was stunned for a moment.
He immediately came up and said with a smile: "Investigator Cai, what brought you here?"
"It's this gust of wind." Cai Yan pointed to Lin Ran beside him, "Brother Lin has something to discuss with you."
Xu Chunfeng, who had been feeling guilty just now, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Lin Ran who was looking for him.
I thought I had done something wrong and was being targeted by the Investigation Bureau.
Lin Ran said: "Director Xu, I heard that you have researched the ancient Shu civilization and would like to discuss it with you."
"The ancient Shu Kingdom?" Xu Chunfeng said with a smile, "Master Lin, do you know what the ancient Shu Kingdom is?"
"Many people think that the ancient Shu Kingdom is the old name of the Shu Kingdom. In fact, the ancient Shu Kingdom was a vassal state in the Zhou Dynasty. It was established by Du Yu, Emperor Shuwang, a Shu native, and was named the Yufu clan. By the time the Kaiming clan collapsed, there were thirteen people in total. The king has existed for 720 and nine years." Lin Ran replied.
There is no search engine now. After this information was discovered at the Sanxingdui ruins, it spread all over the Internet and became popular among the people.
However, in this era, neither Sanxingdui nor the Internet has been discovered, and very few people know about the ancient Shu Kingdom.
Xu Chunfeng was a little surprised that the young man in front of him actually knew about the ancient Shu Kingdom!
He said: "Yes, as a native of the capital, you can actually understand the ancient Shu Kingdom. Judging from your age, you should not have gone to college yet, right?"
"No." Lin Ran replied calmly.
"If you want to learn about the ancient Shu Kingdom, I have a book I can lend you." Xu Chunfeng has been engaged in research on the ancient Shu Kingdom for some time, and today he thought he had met a confidant.
While looking for books on the bookshelf, he murmured in a low voice: "Actually, the ancient Shu Kingdom was a slave country established by the Ran people after they annexed the Qiang people and other surrounding tribes."
"I'm not here to talk about history with you today." Lin Ran interrupted him and said, "Actually, I want to tell you that there is a ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom underground near Chengdu."
Xu Chunfeng's hand turning over the book suddenly stopped.
He suddenly looked back at Lin Ran: "The ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom? Are you kidding me? The ancient Shu Kingdom has been destroyed for 3000 years. 3000 years is enough for everything to fade away."
Although Xu Chunfeng is relatively snobbish and tactful, his attainments in this area are indeed genuine.
Lin Ran said: "No, as long as it existed, it will definitely leave traces. Aren't the historical records you saw also proof?"
Xu Chunfeng looked at Lin Ran suspiciously, feeling that he was telling a fantasy!
"Director Xu, believe me, if you search within [-] kilometers of Chengdu, you will definitely be able to find the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom." Lin Ran said seriously.
"Master Lin, you just came out of the general's tomb. Do you know how much money and connections we have invested in exploring that tomb?" Xu Chunfeng said, "If you want to do archeology, you can't do it without money. Our funding for this year It has been used up, and it is impossible to agree to your request without complete assurance."
Lin Ran sighed.
What Xu Chunfeng said is true. It is difficult to apply for archaeological funds these days. After all, it is not the focus of economic construction.
At the same time, before seeing the Sanxingdui ruins, Lin Ran couldn't believe that the ruins of more than 3000 years could be preserved.
It’s no less difficult than finding dinosaur fossils.
But he knew all this as a person who had experienced it before, so he was willing to spend money to find it. How much more could he ask of someone who knew nothing about it?
Will he invest a lot of money and search for targets aimlessly like himself?
"Master Lin, you are an expert in identification and burial. I have absolutely no doubt." Xu Chunfeng did not want to offend Lin Ran, so he changed the subject and praised him, "We have found a dragon-hunting master near Shuzhou. , there is no suitable Feng Shui treasure land at all.”
Simply bullshit!
The Sanxingdui ruins are not tombs, so how can we use Tufuzi’s method to search for them?
But he also gave up on persuading. There were indeed great difficulties at present, and they were not caused by Xu Chunfeng alone. If he thought about it from his perspective, he would do the same thing.
Lin Ran secretly decided to use his own method to save Sanxingdui, at least before someone stole all the cultural relics!
