Chapter 142 Commemorative Jade Bones!
Chapter 142 Commemorative Jade Bones!
The zither and the harp sound harmoniously, and the gauze dances lightly.
After the song and the dance ended, only a girl in green was left, sitting on a cushion and playing a song called "Falling Willows".
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Everyone present was a smart guy, and both sides were interested in making friends, which made things even more relaxed.
Bai Meng also learned a lot about the latest archaeological developments from Si Huai.
Si Huai smiled and said, "Thousands of years have passed, and the true history has long been buried in the dust."
"We, the descendants, have no way of knowing what happened back then."
"However, after the urn chamber was discovered near the Yishui River, the experts conducted another investigation upstream and downstream of the Yishui River."
Bai Meng really didn't know this, and Li Muyu didn't tell him when he came, so he asked curiously: "Old sir, have you found anything?"
Si Huai picked up the wine cup and clinked glasses with Bai Meng. After drinking, he shook his head and said, "Of course I found something, but it's very troublesome."
"Not far from where you found the urn chamber, under the Yishui River, a tomb chamber was discovered through exploration."
"Experts speculate that the reason why this tomb is underwater is probably because the river has changed its course."
"As for who it belongs to, it's hard to say."
“But because of the existence of the urn room, some people speculated that it belonged to Meng Zu, or that he and Yan Huan were buried together.”
I don’t know about Bai Meng. He came back after Meng died. How can we know what happened next?
"Don't be sad, old man. If our ancestors knew that we were living this kind of life, they would be happy even in the underworld."
"In order to prevent the bloodline of the human race from being cut off, they overcame all difficulties along the way."
"We have fought against the heavens and competed with beasts for food to get to where we are today."
"I don't believe in ghosts, gods, immortals or Buddhas. I just admire the hard work of our ancestors."
"But we can't dwell on the past and look forward."
"Mr. Bai Meng said it very well. We, the descendants, should indeed look forward." Si Huai liked what Bai Meng said very much.
He was in a good mood and picked up the glass again, saying, "I'll toast you again, sir."
Bai Meng was very happy to meet Meng's descendants today and drink and chat with them.
He accepted all the drinks and drank till the cup was empty. He had already drunk more than ten cups of wine in this period of time.
Liu Yunmeng was worried that he had drunk too much, so she stood by and served him food, whispering to him.
Bai Meng held her hand tightly, looked at her pretty face full of concern, and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, it's okay."
Liu Yunmeng scolded, "You just got out of the hospital, so you should drink less."
"When you recover, we can go to Yingcheng and let you drink with the old gentleman."
Si Huai smiled and nodded: "Mr. Bai Meng, just take it in moderation. There is still a lot of time in the future."
Then Si Huai seemed to have just noticed the life bone on Bai Meng's hand, and asked curiously: "Mr. Bai Meng, this bone string on your hand is so white as jade, do you know what bone it is?"
Bai Meng looked down at the life bone on his wrist, shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, maybe it's some kind of snake bone."
Yan Huan said it was a real dragon bone, but there are no real dragons in the world, so Bai Meng guessed it was some kind of giant snake.
Snake bones?
Looking at the life bone that was as crystal clear as jade, Si Huai shook his head gently and said, "It doesn't look like a snake bone. I wonder if you can show it to me, sir?"
Bai Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, casually glanced at Si Huai's old face, and said with a smile: "It's just a bunch of ordinary bones."
"Haha, sir, you may not know that I have always liked to collect some strange and weird things in my life." Si Huai smiled while stroking his beard.
"Especially if you haven't seen it before, you will be even more curious."
"Don't worry, sir. I just want to see what kind of bone this is and satisfy my curiosity."
Bai Meng looked at him hesitantly again, and after a little thought, he took off the life bone and handed it over: "Although this bone necklace is not valuable, it is of great commemorative significance to me."
Si Huai took the life bone casually and said with a smile: "A gentleman does not take away what others like. I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity."
"That's good."
Bai Meng seemed to be a little drunk. He squinted his eyes and stared at Si Huai without blinking.
After taking the life bone, Si Huai took out a pair of glasses from his inner pocket and put them on, then he lowered his head and carefully looked at the life bone in his hand.
"It is smooth and lustrous, with nine sections and nine tails connected by golden threads, and each section has a mark of four symbols engraved on it!"
Hiss! The highest level of life bone!
Si Huai looked up at Bai Meng and saw him eating with the help of Liu Yunmeng, so he lowered his head and observed him more carefully.
Pick up the top bone and look at the inside of the jade bone with the help of the light in the room.
An extremely simple hieroglyph is faintly visible, with a faint pink color hidden in it.
If you don't look closely, you can't see the word at all.
Even if you see it accidentally, if you don't know the inside story, you won't take it seriously and will just think it's some kind of scratch.
After seeing this word, Si Huai's face changed. He hurriedly picked up the last bone and looked inside again.
There is also a word at the end, but unlike the first one, this word looks like some kind of pattern.
The mark of the royal family of Shi!
Si Huai suppressed the shock in his heart, took off his glasses and put them back in his pocket, then smiled and returned the life bone to Bai Meng.
"Sir, this string of bones has already turned into jade. I really can't tell what kind of bones they are."
Bai Meng took the life bone and put it on his wrist, looked at him and smiled: "It's just a bunch of bones, with some commemorative significance. I don't care what it is."
Then he stood up and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
Liu Yunmeng stood up and supported him, saying, "I'll go with you."
Bai Meng patted her hands and said with a smile: "This little bit of wine won't make you drunk. I can go by myself. You've been tired all morning, so you can sit down and rest for a while."
Si Huai looked at Bai Meng deeply, stood up, shook his head and sighed: "This man is old, he sleeps less, eats less, and goes to the bathroom more often."
"It just so happens that I am going with my master."
On the one hand, Liu Yunmeng was worried that Bai Meng had drunk too much, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he didn't know the way. When he saw that Si Huai was also going, he felt relieved.
"Okay, Xiaobai, take care of the old man."
Bai Meng hugged Liu Yunmeng and said, "I'm awake, don't worry."
Then he looked at Qi Wei and Xiao Yin at the other table and said, "Take good care of Sister Meng. I'll be back soon."
Si Huai turned his head to look to the other side and shouted, "Qi, Zha, come with me for a while."
In the banquet hall, the old man originally sat at the head of the table, but in order to chat with Bai Meng, he had the table moved downstairs.
On the left are the people who came with Liu Yunmeng and Bai Meng, and on the right are the people of the Si tribe.
After the chief secretary sent the person away, he went back to report and did not stay for dinner.
Following Si Huai's shout, two young men from the Si tribe immediately stood up, walked around the table and came behind Si Huai.
Seeing this, Liu Yunmeng asked someone to go with Bai Meng.
Bai Meng shook her head: "No need, Sister Meng, with the old man and you two here, what can go wrong?"
"Don't worry."
Liu Yunmeng looked at him with concern: "But I'm still worried."
Bai Meng rolled his eyes, lowered his head with a smile, and whispered in her ear, "Be obedient, or I'll make sure you can't go to work tomorrow, hehe."
It was as if two red clouds descended from the horizon, and two blushes quickly rose on her fair face. Liu Yunmeng gave him a loving look.
"Well, you better be careful and come back quickly."
Bai Meng smiled and nodded, then turned around the table and said to Si Huai, "Old sir, please."
"Haha, please!" Si Huai smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Afterwards, the two of them left the banquet hall, talking and laughing, with Qi and Nuo following closely behind them like two shadows.
The restroom is easy to find, at the end of the corridor.
At this moment, a drizzle started to fall outside, making the lake a little hazy, as if one was in a dream.
After going to the toilet, Bai Meng stood on the corridor, holding the vermilion railing and admiring the scenery in front of him.
But Si Huai had no idea what he was saying to Qi and Zhao.
"Did he recognize the life bone?"
Bai Meng frowned.
