Wu Liang then carefully opened the nearby roots and pulled out the jade artifact hidden in it.

This jade piece is about 5 cm and only 3 cm wide. It is preserved quite well and still remains in a state of emerald green without any pollution or erosion.

Everyone came together to check.

But the shape of this jade is exactly the same as the two opposite birds engraved on the wide face of the copper tripod, but this jade is just one of them.

besides.

There is also a small round hole on the back of the jade artifact. If you look closely, you can see that there are some extremely slight wear marks on the edge of the round hole...

"This should be a lingual."

Yu Ji speculated based on various details on the jade, "This small hole should be worn with ropes. From the position of the young master discovered this jade, it is a very common jade pendant, but a jade pendant worn on the neck... However, it is rare for me to wear jade like this."

The jade artifact worn on the neck should be called a jade pendant.

However, it is normal for Yu Ji to not be able to say this name, because according to various historical records, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the formal wear of jade pendants of the Celestial Empire. Later, after continuous innovation and evolution in later generations, various jade pendants with the theme of humans, animals, fruits and other objects gradually appeared.

Before this, very few people hang jade on their necks as decorations, and most of them are worn on their waists, and collectively called jade pendants.

"Is it possible that this jade artifact was originally hung on this man's waist, but was moved to the neck for some reason when it was placed in this copper tripod and buried in the black soil?"

Yang Wanli continued, "I have never seen anyone wearing jade like this... Or the habit of wearing jade in certain places during the Spring and Autumn Period was so unique? But there is such a possibility. After all, I have never seen anyone wearing jade pendants in the shape of this bird."

Both of them had taken into account the speculation, but they could not draw a definite conclusion for a while, so they did not proceed, but continued to carefully check the details on the jade.

On the front of this jade piece is a bird that looks very ordinary.

When Wu Liang turned it over, he immediately found two strange-looking handwritings on the flat back.

Although Wu Liang's ability to identify ancient Chinese is not as good as Yu Ji, he is still a graduate student in this major. He can still see a rough idea of ​​ancient Chinese during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

But these two ancient texts carved on the back of the jade wares made him very unfamiliar. They were not like the ancient Qi texts that should have appeared in Qi Ai Cemetery, nor were they like the ancient Chinese texts in his understanding, and they didn't even have room to guess based on the shape and font.

"Old sir, let's see what are the two words?"

Wu Liang immediately asked Yu Ji for help.

"this……"

Yu Ji leaned over to the jade artifact and stared at the two small characters, but he could not give a definite answer after identifying it for a long time. Finally, the whole old face wrinkled and said apologetically, "I am superficial in my knowledge, and I really can't tell what the word is. But young master, is it possible that this is not two words at all, but two special symbols?"

"Well... there is such a possibility."

Wu Liang believes that if even Yu Ji can't see any clues, then this possibility will be quite large.

"A gentleman, can you show me?"

While talking, Zhen Mi had come up at some point.

"Why not?"

Wu Liang immediately handed the jade to Zhen Mi again, but did not hand it over to Zhen Mi directly. After all, Wu Liang was still wearing gloves at this moment, because he didn't know the composition of the black soil in the cauldron and was unwilling to touch the black soil with his skin.

But speaking of that.

If anyone in the Zeren army has a broader knowledge and has lasted longer, it must be that Zhen Mi, who has lived in her nine-tailed fox demon for thousands of years, was not the only one who had lived in her body. However, due to the influence of her image and habits, she would have to see that there must be only benefits but no harm.

In this way, Zhen Mi also opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at the jade artifact. After two seconds, she said seriously: "Gentleman, if I read it correctly, this should be the text originally created by Cangjie, Shihuang clan. This text was still circulated and used by some tribes during the Tang and Yu periods, but it was constantly changing. When I looked at the two words, it was a relatively special way of writing evolved on this basis."

"Shouldn't the characters created by Cangjie of Shihuang's family be hieroglyphs?"

Wu Liang asked subconsciously.

If it is a hieroglyph, even if he cannot accurately distinguish its meaning, he can at least distinguish whether it is a text. However, the two words on this jadeware are far from the hieroglyphs in Wu Liang's impression, and it feels that they are not the same text at all.

"That's why I said that this is a special way of writing. As far as I know, before Cangjie created the characters, the clans of each tribe had their own different communication languages ​​and characters. They were just very simple and could only be circulated within their tribes and clans."

Zhen Mi continued, "Later, the Huangdi of Xiong and Yandi of Shennong, jointly defeated Chiyou. In order to communicate and integrate with the gentry of various tribes, he regarded the characters created by Cangjie as the mainstream and ordered people to promote them among various tribes. During the implementation process, influenced by the customs and cultures of different tribes, some changes occurred in different regions. Therefore, many different versions of characters were formed in the early stage... The characters on this jade warehouse should be one of many versions of that period, but some clues can still be seen in the main body."

"I see."

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

This statement is actually not without reason. Just like after the Zhou Dynasty changed its dynasty, different versions of text evolved between countries, and even the language and currency were different. It was not until the First Emperor Ying Zheng unified the world and used tough means to reorganize currency and text, which finally made the world share a currency and text.

In other words, there were still different dialects in the later Celestial Empire. Some dialects were not even understood by locals, but outsiders, which was actually the same as Zhen Mi's description.

Therefore, Zhen Mi's statement is completely valid and very consistent with the situation in ancient times.

"So what are these two words?"

Yu Ji has now become a good student who is eager to learn, and he asked in a humble manner.

"The right is the word 'bian', and the left is the word 'macao'."

Zhen Mi said.

"Bian Que?"

Yu Ji's face froze, and then the old face soon wrinkled again. He tried his best to keep his restrained question, "Miss Zhen, are you sure this is the word Bian Que? Do you know when Duke Ai of Qi was from, and when Bian Que was from?"

Anyone who has studied the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period should know that Duke Ai of Qi was cooked and killed in 882 BC.

The first record of Bian Que's practice of medicine in historical books should be around 500 BC, when he treated Zhao Jianzi, a minister of Jin State.

The last time Bian Que practiced medicine was to treat King Wu of Qin in 307 BC, and he was eventually assassinated by Li Xi, an imperial physician in the Qin State at that time, because of his jealousy.

Let go of Qi Aigong.

The records of Bian Que's earliest and latest practices in history books are about two hundred years apart. In other words, if the records in history books are true, Bian Que should have lived at least more than two hundred years.

But this seems to be an impossible thing in later generations. After all, even the Medicine King Sun Simiao lived only 135 years old, and there are still many doubts about this matter.

Therefore, many people have doubts about Bian Que’s related records.

So much so that in the initial Chinese language teaching class, a classic ancient essay called "Bian Que Meets Cai Huan Gong", was removed, and the people also used this to spread rumors, and many debates about whether Bian Que really existed.

There is no need to doubt that Bian Que definitely exists.

It’s just that “Bian Que” is just his title, and Qin Yue is his real name, just like Zhou Shuren in later generations.

Later archaeologists and scholars never doubted the authenticity of the Qin Yue people. What they questioned was another matter, the question about the title "Bian Que".

This problem has not been resolved yet.

Now, the word "Bian Que" has been found in Qi Ai Cemetery, which was nearly four hundred years earlier than the first record of Bian Que's practice of medicine...

Wu Liang was naturally very puzzled.

The "Bian Que" here can't be a Qin Yue person, right?

He has lived for more than two hundred years, but he has lived for more than six hundred years. In addition, for these nearly four hundred years, wouldn’t he live for more than six hundred years in one breath?

Is this reasonable?

After experiencing so many things after traveling through time, Wu Liang's ability to accept has long been significantly improved. If Bian Que had attained enlightenment, or if there was an unknown adventure to live and die, there might be a possibility of being one in one, but Wu Liang needed corresponding evidence.

besides.

Wu Liang also knew another thing, in fact, there were two "Bian Que" in the history of the Celestial Empire.

One is the Qin Yue native "Bian Que".

The other is Bian Que, a genius doctor during the Yellow Emperor period. The name of "Bian Que" by the Qin Yue people has come from this. However, there are very few records about Bian Que from ancient times. Only two records were found in archaeology in later generations, and there were only a few words, which was not enough to verify this person.

This Bian Que must have been before Duke Ai of Qi, and he would have been out for thousands of years earlier...

So will the "Bian Que" found here refer to the "Bian Que" from ancient times?

"The old man wouldn't think Bian Que was just a person, right?"

Facing Ji's question, Zhen Mi curled her lips and asked back.

"Isn't it alone?"

Yu Ji was stunned.

"Bian Que during the Huangdi period was indeed a person, but in fact the real name of the 'Bian Que' was not Bian Que, it was just a name for him."

Zhen Mi explained, "What does 'Bian' mean? It is a document of the door. What does 'Qui' mean? It is a bird that announces good news. Therefore, 'Bian Que' refers to a bird that can write on the door."

"In ancient times, transportation and information were extremely closed. People were sick. If someone in the clan studied medical skills, they might be able to save themselves. If not, then they could only seek more blessings."

"Bian Que's medical skills were extraordinary. Later, he was entrusted by Huangdi to recruit a group of studious people. While teaching medical skills, he led them to walk around to relieve the suffering of the people. In this way, every time he went to a place, he would knock on the door and ask if there were any patients in need of treatment. If there were no one at home, Bian Que would also order people to leave documents on the door and invite the people to go to the designated place for diagnosis and treatment in the future. They were like birds writing on the door. When the people saw it, they were as happy as seeing a magpies. So over time, they became known as "Bian Que."

“In addition, there is another saying.”

"'Bian Que' specifically refers to a strange bird called 'Jing'. This bird can tell whether there are insect disasters in the trees by flying by just flying. It can also use a sharp mouth to accurately chisel the trees to eliminate the insect disasters hidden in it. Bian Que and his descendants run around among the people like 'Jing'. They can only pass by to discover the lesions in the patients and remove the patients in the people's bodies. Therefore, some people later called them 'Bian Que'."

"As far as I know, since the day the word "Bian Que" was used as a title on people, "Bian Que" has already referred to a medical organization with very early origins, and has never specifically referred to a certain person."

"As for the Bian Que that the old man mentioned, I'm afraid it may not be someone, right?"

"Even if that person's name is "Bian Que" comes from ancient times, it does not prevent the word "Bian Que" from appearing in the earlier Qi Ai Cemetery, isn't it?"

Zhen Mi's words are reasonable and well-founded, and quotes the classics.

After hearing this, Yu Ji had to politely admit: "Miss Zhen's knowledge is so profound that I admire me. Perhaps Miss Zhen is right, she is ignorant."

Is "Bian Que" the title of an organization?
