Chapter 358 Chang'an

The next day, early morning.

Chen Jing and Kong Xue boarded the plane to Chang'an. The distance from Changcheng to Chang'an was not too far, and the plane seemed to be in just over two hours.

On the plane, Chen Jing and Kong Xue chatted for a while and then sorted out all the clues and details about Die in their minds.

First of all, Die itself. To be honest, the popularity of this treasure that is not much higher than that of Jie Lu and Xuan Li.

There are almost no traces in reliable documentary records. Apart from "The Strategies of the Warring States. Qin Strategy III", there is only one record in "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Fan Ju and Cai Ze", but it is not very detailed, and it is called "Di'e" in it, which of course means similar.

However, apart from the records in this literature, Die has an extra folk legend than Jie Lu and Xuan Li.

It is said that Die was obtained by King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang in Qishan. At that time, King Zhou of Shang was unrighteous and believed Daji's slander and locked Ji Chang in Chaoge.

In order to save his father, Ji Chang's eldest son Bo Yikao presented countless treasures to King Zhou, including Die. Daji couldn't let go of Die. Seeing that she was happy, King Zhou ordered the release of Ji Chang.

Later, King Wu of Zhou Ji Fa destroyed Shang, and Baoyu returned to the Zhou Dynasty. King Wu thought that Diehe had great achievements in Zhou and could eliminate evil and ward off evil, so he ordered a skilled craftsman to carve Baoyu into a seal and engrave the "Seal of the Emperor, and match it with virtue."

This is a saying that Die is more famous today, or legend, because there are no similar records in documents or historical books.

Therefore, this legend cannot be proved in fact and is not very reliable.

If it is reasonable to present the first half to King Zhou, then it would be a bit unreliable to carve Die into a seal in the second half.

The reason is very simple. Even though there are not many historical records during the Shang Dynasty, it is related to a seal of a country, so there will be some written records. Since there is no such thing, it is most likely that this is not the case.

In addition, the most important point is that if Die'er was really carved into a seal, then "The Strategies of the Warring States. Qin's Strategy" will definitely not record the combination of Die'er, Xuanli, and Heshi Bi as four treasures, because it has been carved into a seal.

Besides, begging in the confusion.

In the sheepskin records left by Dayesun, there is no saying that Die is a seal.

So most of the legends in the second half are really just legends. Hua and Xia have too long history and too many things have happened. In fact, many of the historical "truth" we think now are mostly rumors that are spread by rumors, and are not true.

To give the most famous example, it is the portrait of the shoe-horned face of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Yuanzhang really grew up like that, could he be attracted to Empress Ma at the end of his life?

In ancient times, it was also a good-looking society. Not to mention that girls looked down upon, even their subordinates would think that they had no dignity and were not suitable for being the master. In layman's terms, they didn't look like the boss, so who would rebel with you?

Even if we don’t analyze it from these perspectives, Zhu Yuanzhang’s sons and grandsons and descendants are basically all with a straight face with a straight national character. Even if the gene mutation is mutated, it is impossible for different sons born to different women to mutate, right?

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang could not have had a shoe-horned face. There is a real portrait of a person in the museum across the strait. Not to mention a handsome guy, he was definitely a man with good facial features and dignity.

But after rumors spread, Zhu Yuanzhang inexplicably became an ugly man with a shoe-tight face, and even some TV series were filmed like this, which shows that rumors really harmed people.

It took more than two hours to pass in the blink of an eye. When the plane landed, Chen Jing sorted out almost all the clues and details he knew about Die.

"As long as you can find descendants of the Husi clan, you should be able to find Die." This is the conclusion that Chen Jing came to sort out.

This made him feel a little excited and excited.

He thought he would be very satisfied to find Xuan Li this year, but he didn't expect that he could find Die within this year. It would be great if the subsequent treasure of the country could be so fast.

In addition, I don’t know which treasure will be for the country, Heshi Bi or other ones in Di'er?

Chen Jing himself felt that the next thing to look for is the Heshi Bi, the next one, the Heshi Bi, should not be very likely, because the Heshi Bi is very well-known and should not be ranked fourth from the bottom among the twelve Heshi treasures.

Of course this is just his speculation, whether it is determined by the God of Treasure Appraisal.

At around 10:30, Chen Jing and Kong Xue left the airport. Today is not a weekend, and He Mengqi hasn't returned to Chang'an yet, otherwise she might have to pick her up.

"Xiao Chen, let's go to the hotel to put your luggage first?" Kong Xue asked.

Chen Jing naturally nodded without any objection, because he didn't know how long he would stay in Chang'an, so the couple brought a lot of luggage.

The hotel was booked in advance by Kong Xue, right near the largest antique market in Chang'an.

Speaking of which, Chang'an's antique collection is still quite popular, with five or six antiques or french goods markets. Of course, several of them cannot be said to be pure antique markets, but tend toward a certain category of collectibles markets, such as ancient coins and stamps and other trading markets.

What Chen Jing and Kong Xue are going to is the largest and most prosperous antique city.

Zhao Zheng's friend runs a large antique shop in the Antique City.

The young couple took a taxi and headed straight to the hotel.

The taxi driver on the road was quite talkative. Well, it seems that taxi drivers from all over the country are quite talkative. In short, the driver saw the two of them carrying their luggage and said with a smile: "Are you here to Chang'an for your honeymoon?"

After a moment of pause, he directly recommended those scenic spots and scenic spots to both of them without waiting for Chen Jing and Kong Xue to reply.

"I won't talk about the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, etc. The people of the whole country know that after you go to your two places, you can also go to Mount Li, Huaqing Pond, Furong Garden of the Tang Dynasty, and Daming Palace to see these places, which are very good."

Kong Xue listened to the driver's recommendation and remembered it seriously. However, Chen Jing felt moved in his heart.

Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Huaqing Pool, Furong Garden, Daming Palace, Weiyang Palace, etc. These are real places of interest and historical significance.

In other cities, it is rare to have one or two places, but there are really many in Chang'an.

This may be the historical heritage of many ancient capitals.
