Chapter 24 - Overturning the Well
Actually, we made a mistake before coming here. The Xixia bluestone stone sculpture was originally thought to have been dug out from the ground, but unexpectedly it was used as a manhole cover. By chance, Uncle Hu Lu picked it up.
It was this thing that attracted us to Yinchuan.
I guess the head is the same as I thought. If we can dig up the Xixia tomb this time, we will definitely make a profit, because there are too few cultural relics in Xixia and too few tombs. Even the Xixia collection of Yinchuan Museum is mainly made of gravel carvings.
The main gravel bricks are there, but there are not many fine products.
I asked what to do next, let's continue to go down the well to find something or
He looked at the dry well and pondered: "Let's look for it. Besides the rotten iron pieces, there may be something worth a lot of money."
I nodded and said yes, "I won't leave the thief and don't find anything valuable, I always feel like I'm losing money."
He nodded and said, "Then, Yazi or you go down?"
"No, no, no," Dou Yazai shook his head desperately and said, "I was bragging just now. I don't want to do it anymore. The dead bones I just stepped on just now are not one hundred or eighty. Yunfeng is brave, I think it's Yunfeng.
It's more appropriate to go down."
"Yunfeng, what do you think?" Douyazai asked me.
I call you a kid just a coward, and I will just lay it.
He sent me down with a rope, Douyazi shouted and then threw it down to shovel the whirlwind.

Although there are many dead bones in the underground, they are not smelly, but they just have a sour and moldy smell.
A few bones can be found by just a few shovels. After digging for more than half an hour, I did make new discoveries.
Douyazi was too impatient and careless in doing things, and even exposed this thing.
I picked up this thing and wiped it with my sleeve.
This is a jade artifact, half the size of an adult's palm, with jade meat green and yellow. Although the carving is simple, it is only a few strokes, but the carving looks are like a jade bear.
Jade bear from the Western Xia period.
Although this thing is not Hetian white jade, it is also a good local jade. It is warm and slightly oily. It is considered a thing. If you meet a buyer who likes ancient local jade, you can easily sell it to several thousand and one small one.
Wan is not a big problem.
I blew the dust from the jade bear, put it in my pocket, and took a few shots.
More than 700 years ago, if these people were killed by the Mongols, then some things should be left behind. They ate meat seven hundred years ago, and I can lick the bowl seven hundred years later, it's too much to put it on.
Wasted.
As expected, after carefully searching, I found another thing with a chopstick-shaped hairpin-shaped craftsmanship. I initially determined that this thing should be part of the headdress of the Western Xia women, and this thing is not on the head of the Song Dynasty women.
The step-shaking is exquisite, but at least it can be sold for a thousand yuan.
I became addicted to digging, and wiped my sweat. I believe there must be a large item below. I can't guarantee that there are one or two Xixia soldiers' waist cards with Xixia literature.
I stood underground and discussed with the head, and finally decided to clean the underground. I didn't know how deep the soil was, so I might be sure that the large and good goods were hidden under the well. In this way, even if we couldn't find Hei Shui City in the end,
With these, and adding the raw Alashan blood agate stone, this trip to Yinchuan is guaranteed to have it.
We didn't bring a bucket, so we still rely on Uncle Hulu's help. He helped weave two straw frames with branches. The weaving was very good. As long as we lay a layer of cloth at the bottom of the straw frame, we could use it easily and basically no soil leaks.
A few of us men took turns going down the well to install soil. The rest of us used ropes to pull them out on the well, and no matter how long we worked, we would change people when we were tired.
It was Douyazi's turn to go down the well, and the boy said in a silence under the well, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, this is a mass grave well, the feng shui is not good, I'll send you in batches,
I'll send you to wash, dry it, and clean yourself up."
I yell at Douyaozi, and hurry up and work.
The soil and bones sent from the bottom of the well were basically picked out, and more and more bones were piled up. We planned to dig a pit to repair a grave before leaving and gather these bones to bury them.
It's better than staying in a dry well without a sun.
"I'll go, what's this?" Douyazai suddenly shouted excitedly: "Let's come and see, I'll find a baby!"
Douyazi turned over to an oval seal the size of a child's fist, washed it with clean water, and you could see that there were Xixia text at the bottom of the seal.
Douyazai asked excitedly, "What is written on the seal? Is it the official seal of a high-ranking official? Is it worth it? How much is it worth?"
What does the Xixia text engraved on the seal mean? No one can answer Douyazai this question.
Because no one present knew Xixia Wen.
There are more than 6,000 characters in Xixia, and the strokes are numerous and difficult to recognize. Some characters have more than 100 strokes. Xixia script was a dead character before the late Qing Dynasty. I think even the old research institutes in Yinchuan Museum can't recognize many.
. More than 6,000 words, it is amazing to know more than 100 words.
This seal was sold for more than 30,000 yuan later. Now, when I think back, I feel that I have lost a lot. I have to put it until now and I won’t sell it for one million yuan.
The job of cleaning this dry well cannot be done in a short time. When camping at night, we were suffering from a few people who had no sleeping bags. The temperature difference between day and night in Alxa was too large, and it was so hot during the day and cold at night. In addition, you should be careful.
Beware of any invisible reptile poison on the ground.
The cleaning work was on the third day and the goods were finally shipped.
Qin Xingping brought a basket of soil down the well. You can see it without turning it over. There is a bronze gilded Buddha statue in the soil.
The gilding is quite worn. This is a statue of the Buddhist guardian god. It is about twenty centimeters long and has two small wings behind it. The Buddha statue has a face that looks like a glaring Vajra, with eyeballs protruding and lips rolling up. There is also a little special. Although it is a man who looks like a man,
But the Buddha statue has a graceful noodle body, and it is indeed a female guardian of the Tibetan secret.
We didn't know this female guardian god at that time because we didn't know it, things are precious because they are rare, which means that this thing is valuable.
How much is it worth?
Worth 600,000
If you are interested, you can check the fine Buddha statues in the 2002 Jiade Autumn Auction. At that time, the label of this statue was marked with the 12th century dakinis guardian statue. The starting price was 12, and the final hammer price plus commission exceeded 60.
The Buddha statue market only started to rise sharply after 2008. Good things, the prices of good things have turned a little more a year. Before 2008, especially the period from 2000 to 2005 was the cold winter of Buddha statue artworks. The ox-like Yongxuan official
The statue is nothing but
Later I asked my friend, and my friend told me that the Dakini is indeed the guardian god of Tibet. The Dakini in Sanskrit is translated as Chageni, which means a woman walking in the air, which represents wisdom, strength, joy, compassion, legend is like the world.
