Chapter 134 Archaeology Up the Mountain
After solving Qi Dongsheng's trouble, Qi Laosan no longer concealed it and was willing to say anything. After listening to Qi Laosan's narration, Gao Shang and others understood the inside story of this matter...
It turns out that they are not the only buyers.
Before they came, the fat man named Qin had already come to investigate Mizi tomb.
"Fatty Qin is the largest antique dealer in Lingnan area and is quite famous on the road. I said why did you look so familiar just now! It turned out to be him..." When Wan Jinshan heard Fat Qin's name, he couldn't help but sigh.
Although Wanjinshan and Fatty Qin both do the same business, the difference between him and Fatty Qin is that for such a big deal, he has always been a broker and never re-sells himself. Although he will make a lot less money like this, it is relatively safe and not easy to be fooled.
Fatty Qin is different from Wan Jinshan. He had long concluded that this Mizi tomb had never been seen by outsiders, so naturally there were no traces of robbery. Because the ancient Mimi civilization was "the King of Qin is so Mimi", it has always been a legend without any evidence. Even if there are many Mimi cultural relics on the market, they are often regarded as Qin artifacts.
In this way, the real antiques in Mi Country are naturally rare.
So, Fatty Qin offered Qi Laosan a price of 23 million yuan, intending to dig a tomb of millet. But what was unexpected was that when Fatty Qin came to Wudaogou for the second time to prepare for the transaction, Qi Dongsheng also came back.
Seeing that Fatty Qin was alone and did not bring a bodyguard, he immediately had evil thoughts.
But what he didn't expect was that after detaining Fatty Qin, he didn't find a penny on Fatty Qin. Qi Dongsheng was furious and locked Fatty Qin into the backyard.
As for Qi Laosan's mute daughter, she was also locked up by Qi Dongsheng.
"If I hadn't been afraid that Xiang'er would be harmed by him, I wouldn't have listened to him... cheated... cheated you!" Qi Laosan mentioned his daughter, hugged the mute girl, and said with an awkward expression.
Although Mr. Qi was so cruel that he was so cruel that he wanted to sell his ancestral grave. However, he was very sincere in his feelings for his daughter, and Gao Shang and others also responded to his previous actions with a tolerant attitude.
The "contract" signed with Qi Laosan is a "private tomb archaeological agreement" signed in the name of the Institute of Archaeology of Anzhou University. Now all the troubles have been resolved, so they naturally have to dig the tomb as soon as possible!
The next day, all members of the archaeological team went up the mountain.
"There is no flattering place in this valley unless we put the camp on the stone altar..." After observing the surrounding terrain, Xun Shen put forward an opinion.
When Gao Shang heard that he was going to build the camp on the pike-class II-type starship, he immediately opposed: "That won't work!"
"I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Xun Shen looked Gao Shang for some reason and continued, "The stone altar is quite flat, but the deep ditch of more than 20 meters in the middle is really inconvenient! My opinion is to put the camp in this valley. Although it is a little far from the cemetery, it only needs to go down a gentle slope..."
Hearing what he said, Gao Shang smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "Yes! This place is indeed more suitable for camping..."
He was afraid that Xun Shen and others would build a camp
At that time, if something appears, the interstellar spacecraft will not be hidden. But he didn't expect that Xun Shen would breathe heavily and had no idea of building a camp on the spacecraft. This made him seem a little abrupt.
Fortunately, Xun Shen is not a petty person, so he naturally won’t be dissatisfied with Gao Shang because of this. But he felt that Gao Shang was a little absent-minded today... strange.
Of course Xun Shen didn't know what Gao Shang was thinking.
Since Gao Shang appeared this antique-class starship, he has been thinking about this in his mind. How should he find a way to enter the inside of the spaceship without being revealed!
The appearance of this spacecraft is very important to Gao Shang. Not only can he show the origin of the Lihuo Palace from the spacecraft, but he can also understand what the source world was like at that time. Based on this information, he can infer more information from it.
For example, when this spacecraft came to Earth, what level did the technological state of the source world have reached? From this, we can infer that when this spacecraft came to Earth, the timeline of the source world. After comparing the two, he can calculate the plane wheelbase between the earth plane and the source world plane...
In short, with this spaceship, there are so many benefits he can get.
However, he could only do this alone. With the technological level on the interstellar spacecraft, if it was linked to the Gumi Kingdom, it would be a shocking appearance. This nobleness could be known without guessing.
He doesn't want to be the focus of attention again!
And it is safer for him to master such secrets alone.
After agreeing on the camping location, Xun Shen asked some people to start camping, while he led a few students and Gao Shang Palace and Shaoshan to conduct the first step of surveying and mapping the Mizi tomb, appearance, surrounding landforms, etc.
The purpose of doing this is to find the location of the tomb passage.
The ancients "die as life as life", believing that after death, people will go to another world and continue their enjoyment during their lifetime, so they attach great importance to the specifications of their tombs and the grade of burial objects.
In order to highlight their precious identity and lofty status, ancient kings, princes, generals and ministers not only formulated red tape etiquette regulations during their lifetime, but also had to spend a lot of money to build large-scale and expensive tombs.
From the custom of burying and valuable items burying in tombs, the digging and robbing of tombs has begun, and has never been cut off. It can be said that tomb robbing is a social phenomenon with a long history.
Archaeological data from the Neolithic Age can already see the remains of conscious tomb destruction. After the social changes of "rituals and music collapse" in the Spring and Autumn Period, the trend of grand burials and nobles rose, and the burial objects of status after their deaths were generally very rich.
Tomb robbery began to be a way to get rich at home and became one of the oldest professions.
Corresponding to the prevalence of tomb robbers, in order to protect the tombs from being destroyed by thieves, all kings and princes of all dynasties took great pains to build their tombs and used their own tombs to fight wits and courage, wishing that they could build the tomb camp into a solid fortress with iron walls.
These princes and nobles not only have a variety of anti-theft methods in the construction of tombs, digging out underground rivers, traps, and burying them dozens of meters deep underground, using mountains as a
The tomb relies on natural rocks as protection, and some people use the form of "quicksand tombs" and fill the tomb chamber with a large amount of fine sand to prevent thieves.
In order to prevent the tombs from being robbed, the setting of tomb passages became even more secret at the beginning of the construction of the tombs. After some tombs were violently robbed, it was quite exhausting to find the tomb passages in a rescue formal archaeological operation.
"When this last generation of Mi Zi was buried, Mi Guo had already been destroyed. The one who was buried for him was either his subordinates or his descendants. There was not so much attention. The setting of this tomb passage was also normal..."
After they conducted a detailed survey and mapping of Mizi Tomb, the results were quite satisfactory. Mizi Tomb did not have many anti-theft settings, including the location of the tomb passage, and the location of the tomb passage was quickly found.
After the tomb passage was revealed, Xun Shen led his team members to clean and dig the entrance of the tomb passage. The work at the beginning was the most arduous, and it would take at least one week to dig out the entire tomb passage hidden underground.
After working all morning, at noon, Xun Shen was about to call two team members to prepare lunch, but unexpectedly, someone came to the excavation site - Qi Xue!
"Xue'er?! Are you..." Seeing Qi Xue, Wan Jinshan pointed at Qi Xue in surprise and asked, putting down a load of baskets.
In fact, there is no need to ask, just based on the fragrant aroma of the food, you can guess that Qi Xue is delivering them food.
Although this girl Qi Xue is dressed a little rustic and mute, she looks pretty pretty. Especially whenever she hears someone ask her something, she will shyly lower her head... until the other party realizes that she can't speak.
"It smells so good!"
Fang Tao and Bai Xiaoting were a pair of foodies. Before Xun Shen or Gao Shang said anything, they had already opened the basket that Qi Xue picked up and started eating with two buns.
Seeing them almost choking when they were swallowing, Qi Xue smiled and took out a pot from the basket on the other end. When she uncovered the lid, a scent of fragrance floated out.
It was just a pot of ordinary fish soup, and she made the delicious food of the imperial meal. Everyone praised it while eating it. When Qi Xue looked at these archaeological team members who had a bit ugly appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled.
"Xue'er...whether your father? What do you want to say..." Wan Jinshan is more familiar with others than Qi Xue, but he doesn't know sign language either. He just looked at Qi Xue's gesture, and felt a little anxious.
At this moment, Gao Shang walked over and said, "Let me try it!"
Gao Shang randomly gestured to Qi Xue, and the two went to communicate. Although Gao Shang was also gestured, he was actually communicating with Qi Xue with his thoughts.
But when Gao Shang understood Qi Xue’s thoughts, it was a bit troublesome!
"Miss Qi Xue wants to work with us.... She said she wants to make some money by herself..."
To be honest, Gao Shang didn't want to agree to her. After all, they dug the tomb of the ancestor of the Qi family, and letting the girl participate, which seemed a bit disrespectful to her ancestors!
But when he was communicating with Qi Xue, an unexpected incident made Gao Shang change his mind... He didn't expect that Qi Xue was actually a natural awakened person!
