Chapter 721 Spirit Snake Bone
Everyone present looked at the box Professor Chen placed on the workbench.
This wooden box is not locked, but has a simple snap buckle, which makes it easy to open.
Professor Chen took various countermeasures after opening the wooden box for a while, and put on a protective shield that was enough to protect his entire upper body.
Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything to let him come.
Firstly, with these protective measures, there should be no problem. Secondly, the master clearly wanted to open the wooden box with his own hands and see what was inside.
"Everyone wear gas masks." At this time, Professor Chen said.
Hearing this, Chen Jing and others did not dare to complain, and they all honestly picked up the gas masks that had been prepared and put them on.
No one knows what will be inside this kind of box found in an ancient tomb. If it is the last anti-theft measure of the tomb owner, it will be dangerous.
Fortunately, for modern people, the anti-theft technology of the ancients can basically prevent it.
Technology is the primary productive force.
After seeing everyone wearing gas masks, Professor Chen reached out and carefully opened the button of the wooden box. He only heard a snap sound and the lid of the wooden box bounced up slightly.
Instantly, a pungent smell filled the air.
But soon, the smell disappeared. It must have been accumulated in this wooden box for a long time, and it dissipated after being released in an instant.
Professor Chen raised his hand and completely opened the lid of the box.
Chen Jing looked over immediately.
However, they saw a forest-white bone lying quietly in the box, the size and length of an adult's thumb.
At this moment, golden light emerged in front of Chen Jing's eyes, and then turned into rows of words.
"This is the spirit snake bone."
"Spirit snakes are creatures that have long disappeared in the long river of history. The Python family has been extinct for a long time and the specific information is unknown. However, its bones will emit a highly antiseptic gas that can last for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Long."
"The Suihou Pearl is also called the 'Pearl of the Spiritual Snake'. The spiritual snake mentioned in the records is not simply a compliment to a certain snake species, but is also the name of a species."
"To trigger more clues about the Suihou Pearl through the spirit snake bone."
"Current clue: Europa, the Dragon Lady!"
Looking at the golden text that appeared in front of his eyes, Chen Jingjunlang's face showed a look of surprise, and of course there was also surprise and confusion.
It turns out that this is the anti-corrosion measure of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb. It is actually the bones of an extinct python, and this python named "Spirit Snake" seems to be the so-called Suihou Pearl that was originally dedicated to the Sui Dynasty monarch.
'Dragon Son'.
"If the legend of the spirit snake offering pearls is true, then the spirit snake should be quite intelligent, and its bones have such a strong antiseptic effect. I never thought that such a magical creature existed in history." Chen Jing
I couldn't help but sigh and be surprised in my heart.
But if you think about it carefully, there are actually quite a lot of magical creatures recorded in history. Some creatures are even more mythical in today's eyes. Modern people think that they may not exist at all and are just fabrications of the ancients.
But there is also a possibility that there really were some magical creatures in ancient times, but in modern times, these creatures have become completely extinct.
Just like a dragon.
The existence of dragons is clearly recorded in many ancient books. In ancient times, there were even dedicated people responsible for feeding dragons.
Therefore, some people have always said that dragons really existed in ancient times. They may not be as magical as the legends say, but they should be real.
Chen Jing's thoughts turned around and he began to think of new clues.
This clue made him dumbfounded.
Dragon Girl.
What kind of clue is this? It looks like an antelope hanging its horns, making it difficult for people to find their way.
"It stands to reason that this is a further clue, it shouldn't be so general." Chen Jing thought to himself, such a general clue that makes people confused, really shouldn't be a further clue.
Just as Chen Jing was thinking, Professor Chen's voice interrupted him.
"It seems that they are not burial objects that can prove the identity of the tomb owner. Xiaojing, what do you think?"
When Chen Jing heard this, he no longer thought about it and responded: "Master, there must be something unique about this bone being placed alone in a wooden box."
Professor Chen smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about? There must be something unique about this bone. I want you to tell me what you think is unique about this bone."
Chen Jing was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He was just thinking about something when he suddenly heard his master's question, so he said nonsense without thinking much.
"Master, if I guess, these bones may be related to the incorruptibility of the tomb owner's body." Chen Jing turned around and said.
His words made an archaeological team member next to him shake his head: "It shouldn't be possible. This is just a bone. It seems to be the bones of some animal. How could it be related to the incorruptibility of the tomb owner's body?"
"Indeed, these should be the bones of some kind of precious animal. Maybe the ancient people thought that the animal had magical properties related to the underworld, so they placed it in the coffin."
"It may also be the bones of the tomb owner's favorite pet."
Everyone has their own opinions, but no one supports Chen Jing.
It's not that they were targeting Chen Jing, it was mainly because Chen Jing's statement was a little too outrageous. It was just a piece of bone, how could it have antiseptic effects?
In fact, let alone that they thought so, even Chen Jing himself might not believe it without the identification information provided by the treasure appraisal eye.
Professor Chen looked normal and said, "We will know what the situation is after we send it for testing."
After a pause, the old man sighed, and then said: "What a pity, now it seems that the identity of the owner of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb is a little difficult to know and prove."
The funerary objects in the main tomb chamber are all complete. Counting the coffin and the gold and copper coins, there are more than a thousand funerary objects, but none of them can prove the identity of the tomb owner.
This shows that the person who originally buried the owner of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb did not want people to know the identity of the tomb owner. He even considered the possibility of the tomb being stolen, so no clues could be found in the burial objects.
For archeology, it is indeed a very troublesome thing to be unable to confirm the identity of the tomb owner.
Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master, maybe there will be some clues in other tombs."
What he said was actually to comfort Master Ziqi.
Professor Chen smiled: "I hope so."
