Fatty Wang quickly used his flashlight to take a look. Even Big Golden Teeth leaned over with his weak body.
However, the next second, Big Golden Tooth shouted," Oh my god!" and fell to the ground, sweating all over.
" Human face, what a huge human face."
"Master Jin, are you confused from the fever? This is a human face pattern. We've encountered a cauldron.”Hu Payi said excitedly.
A huge bronze cauldron as tall as a person was hiding in the gap between the four of them.
However, the bronze cauldron had already fallen to the ground, and there were still human-face-like patterns on it.
Just now, Big Golden Tooth thought that the patterns on the bronze cauldron were human faces and was scared out of his wits.
However, Big Golden Tooth was sweating from fear. In addition, he had eaten the Night Bright Sand just now, so he felt much better. After hearing Hu Payi's words, he stood up reluctantly and walked to the side of the bronze cauldron to take a closer look.
"That's right, it's a huge cauldron."
"But this place isn't a tomb. Why would there be a cauldron?”Fatty asked doubtfully.
"This cauldron was used by the ancient people to offer sacrifices or to record important events. It is an important weapon of the country.”Hu Payi said as he wiped the soil off the cauldron's belly.
Soon, some inscriptions appeared under the bronze cauldron.
Hu Payi and Big Golden Tooth moved to the front of the inscription and observed it carefully under the light of the flashlight.
"Master Jin, do you have eyes?"
Big Golden Tooth took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully for a while." From this inscription, it's at least a third-generation cauldron. If I'm not wrong, it should be from the early Western Zhou Dynasty..."
"Western Zhou?" Fatty Wang's eyes lit up when he heard Big Golden Tooth's words.
Hu Ba turned around and used his flashlight to scan the surroundings. Soon, he found a piece of flat land.
"Look, this is the altar. This bronze cauldron should have been placed here.”
Big Golden Tooth nodded." That's right. From the altar, this cauldron should be a practical tool and not used for recording. It must have held a sacrifice.”
"For whom?" Fatty Wang quivered and asked in a low voice," Sacrifice those dirty things?”
Xiao Yao had to admit that although Fatty Wang was not as knowledgeable as Hu Payi or Big Golden Teeth, he had a wild intuition.
Fatty Wang had really guessed the function of this bronze cauldron with a human face pattern.
"Sacrifice what? What do you think?" Hu Payi asked casually.
"I feel that this cauldron is good, but we can't carry it back.”Fatty Wang circled around the bronze cauldron.
Hu Payi was amused when he heard that." That's true. If we carry this back, we'll have to change a few buildings no matter what.”
"Master Fatty, don't even think about this thing. This thing is a third-generation cauldron. Anything much smaller than this is a national treasure. Selling it would be a matter of losing your head.”Xiao Yao explained to Fatty.
Fatty Wang shook his head vigorously." That won't do. If I sell it to foreigners, wouldn't I be a traitor? My Lord Fatty's stance on singing is exceptionally firm.”
Although he said that, Fatty Wang still walked around the altar, saying that he wanted to see if there were any small things that he had missed.
Big Golden Tooth and Hubayi also looked around.
Only Xiao Yao remained beside the bronze cauldron with the pattern of a human face.
When they came out just now, the few of them squeezed and pushed away some of the soil beside the bronze cauldron.
The mouth of the bronze cauldron was originally firmly locked in the mountain rocks and soil. After thousands of years, it was almost like it had grown on the mountain.
Now, this small gap was also extremely narrow, only two to three centimeters wide.
However, when the crack appeared, Xiao Yao heard a system notification.
There was something in this human-faced bronze cauldron, and it was a good thing with luck value.
As a keyboard archaeologist, Xiao Yao had learned something about the ancient bronze tripod.
In ancient times, especially during the Shang Dynasty, ghosts and gods were the most important. The sacrifices were very grand and sincere.
This sincerity was shown in the offerings.
At that time, the sacrifices were not just the three animals and three birds. There were also human animals. They were used as sacrifices and killed to offer to ghosts, gods, or ancestors.
Xiao Yao remembered that a bronze ware with human skulls had been unearthed in China.
The archaeologists who first unearthed the bronze ware with the human head were not sure if it was put in during the sacrifice, or if the skull of the person who was buried with the corpse rolled into the cauldron due to geological disturbance.
Later on, a bronze coffin with a human head was unearthed again. It was no longer an isolated case. Only then did it confirm that during the ancient times, human heads would be directly placed in bronze artifacts.
Moreover, the head inside the bronze cauldron had been cooked…
Xiao Yao had even searched for pictures of a bronze corpse with a human head, which was quite exciting.
Now, the question was, what was inside this huge bronze cauldron with the pattern of a human face? Could there be a head for sacrifice?
What was that item with luck value?
Looking at the narrow gap between the mouth of the bronze cauldron and the mountain rock, Xiao Yao looked at his fingers.
