"I know in your heart that you think I'm an old pedant, an old stubborn who doesn't know anything, and you don't know how much you dislike me, if it weren't for my age, you would even want to knock me out of the way. ”

Professor Wang looked at Qin Yu with blazing eyes, but Qin Yu touched his nose and did not answer, which can be regarded as acquiescing to Professor Wang's words.

"Let me tell you a story. Professor Wang's gaze retracted from Qin Yu, looked at the four worshippers, and then slowly spoke: "Forty years ago, I followed my teacher to dig an ancient tomb, and you should know that many cultural relics have been destroyed, so to speak, China's historical relics of more than 2,000 years were destroyed in that era. ”

"At that time, it was not long after the chaos was set up, when this ancient tomb was discovered, although it was not like before, no one cared at all, but in the same way, there were not many people who cared, and there was no funding allocated above, it was my teacher who heard the news that there were farmers digging up cultural relics nearby, and after applying for it, he paid for it himself, and took me and two other students, a total of four people, to the place where the ancient tomb was located thousands of miles away. ”

"At that time, the excavation was very hard, to put it mildly, that is, the shovel was not as strong as it is now, and when it touched the sealed soil underground, it could only be broken little by little by hand, and it took nearly two months just to dig out the sealed soil of this ancient tomb. ”

In Professor Wang's narration, a picture appeared in everyone's minds, in the desolate and barren hills, an archaeological expert and his three students, with shovels, hands, and shovels, excavated the ancient tombs buried deep in the ground.

However, Professor Wang's teacher is already old. After two months of hard work, I was tired, and the excavation work was transferred to Professor Wang, of course. The so-called responsibility is only a nice thing to say, but the real situation is that Professor Wang and his two classmates are facing the loess with their backs to the sky, repeating the boring excavation work.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, after a week. Professor Wang and the three of them finally dug the passage of the tomb, and then, digging diagonally down the passage of the tomb, they arrived at the real tomb gate.

Here, I would like to popularize a knowledge with you, the so-called Yongdao, the general ancient tombs are a passage diagonally downward, the ancients dug tombs underground, and if the soil is to be cleaned out, then a passage to the ground is needed. And the corridor is such a passage, the oblique passage can facilitate the cart in and out, in this way, the excavation of the tomb, undoubtedly in the speed is accelerated, especially with the cart is built, almost all large tombs, the corridor is this form of oblique down.

In fact, the excavation of ancient tombs is divided into two modes, one is that the ancient tombs have collapsed. For this kind of ancient tomb, it is necessary to determine the scope of the entire ancient tomb first, and then excavate directly from the top in all directions.

The other is that the tomb has not collapsed. The interior is still intact, for this kind of ancient tomb, it is necessary to find the passage of the ancient tomb, and then dig through the corridor to the tomb door, as long as the tomb door is opened, you can enter the tomb.

And undoubtedly. The ancient tomb excavated by Professor Wang back then is a well-preserved ancient tomb that has not collapsed.

Digging to the door of the tomb, Professor Wang was very excited, and his two classmates were also very excited, originally Professor Wang planned to tell the news to his teacher immediately, but at that time, it was not as convenient as it is now, mobile phones were simply a luxury, and if you wanted to contact your teacher, you had to leave the mountains and walk dozens of miles to get to the hospital in the town.

At that time, Professor Wang's two classmates couldn't wait to open the tomb door, because this was the first time they came out to participate in the archaeological excavation work, and the first time they could dig a well-preserved ancient tomb by themselves, this excitement can be imagined.

Of course, Professor Wang at that time would not have known how lucky they were, and how many archaeologists had not been able to dig up a well-preserved ancient tomb in their lifetime, and regretted it.

So, under this tense and excited emotion, Professor Wang and the three finally chose to push the tomb door open, thinking that after telling the teacher anyway, the teacher would also ask them to open the tomb door, so it was better to open the tomb door now.

The three of them spent half a day, and finally opened the tomb door, just as the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Professor Wang The three young people immediately bumped into the courage and walked into the tomb.

However, that action was the one that Professor Wang regretted the most in his life.

"Do you know what happened in that tomb?" Professor Wang asked, looking at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was silent and did not answer, and the four worshippers did not say a word, only Professor Qi and Professor Zhang, with a look of shock on their faces, looked at Professor Wang, full of incredulous expressions.

"That's right, it's weathered, all the cultural relics in it, because of the three of us, all weathered, the funny thing is that in order to disperse the dead air in the tomb, the three of us also found banana leaves, and fanned the wind against the tomb door. No one answered, Professor Wang smiled self-deprecatingly and continued.

"Teacher Wang, we haven't heard of this at all?" Professor Qi spoke, if such a thing really happened, it would definitely shock the archaeological community, but for so many years, they had never heard this news.

"That's because my teacher concealed the disappearance in order to protect the three of us, and said that the ancient tomb had collapsed. ”

Professor Wang's face showed pain, because if this matter spread, then he and his two classmates would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the archaeological community in their lives, and they might even go to prison for it.

"Over the years, every time I think of this matter, my heart is very painful, it is a well-preserved ancient tomb, hundreds of precious cultural relics, just because of the three of us, and completely destroyed, I also once asked my teacher, why hide the truth, and even want to reveal the truth, in order to seek comfort in conscience. ”

Then my teacher only said one sentence to me, he said: "If you have made a mistake, then you will use your life to pay for it, destroy hundreds of cultural relics, then excavate and discover tens of thousands of cultural relics, and protect these cultural relics to atone for your sins." ”

Professor Wang paused when he said this, "So, since that incident, I will be extremely careful about every archaeology, I am not absolutely sure, I would rather keep this ancient tomb there than excavate it, and even I know that even in our industry, there are some people who think I am too rigorous, and I am a little too rigorous." ”

"But I'd rather be rigorous 10,000 times than see a single artifact destroyed under my nose, because I want to atone for my sins, which are the precious treasures left by our country. ”

Professor Wang suddenly stood up from the ground, and then, bowed deeply to Qin Yu, "I hope that you can understand the thoughts of a guilty person, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is definitely the most mysterious imperial mausoleum in history, every cultural relic in it is precious, I hope you can protect every cultural relic in it, I beg you on behalf of all the people in the archaeological community!"

Professor Wang's bow made Qin Yu silent, and Professor Qi and Professor Zhang on the side also quickly stood up and bowed to Qin Yu, "Mr. Qin, please." ”

After a long time, Qin Yu finally nodded, "I'll pay attention." ”

With Qin Yu's words, Professor Wang and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then, the group redistributed the team, and it was naturally impossible for Professor Wang and the three of them to climb this Tongtian Step, so they were accompanied by an enshrinement here, while Qin Yu and the other three enshriners continued to move forward and climb this Tongtian Steps.

The steps to heaven, according to the records on this stone tablet, are a total of 18,888 steps, and each step is 30 centimeters, at least there is a distance of 5,000 meters, which is no longer as simple as reaching the ground, this is really leading to the blue sky.

Of course, Qin Yu also knew that this Heavenly Ladder must be strange, otherwise, if it was really out of the ground, at such a height, it would be impossible for no one to find out.

What is so strange about this ladder of heaven, that can only be known when you climb it.

Following Qin Yu's three offerings, their strength is not weak, they all have the realm of four grades, but when the four of them walked almost five thousand steps, Qin Yu suddenly stopped.

"Did you hear any sounds?" Qin Yu asked as he pricked up his ears and turned to the other three.

"Nope. The three worshippers shook their heads in unison, and they heard nothing but their own footsteps.

"Be careful, something isn't right. ”

Qin Yu's expression became serious, along the way, although the situations encountered were very shocking, but as an emperor's mausoleum, it was always missing an important point.

That is the danger, the emperor's mausoleum is not so easy to enter, there are all kinds of organs, and if you are not careful, you may be buried under the mechanism, but the underground palace of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has come to this point, and the organs they have encountered are only blocking the road of their daughters, and they will not bring danger to them at all, which is obviously abnormal.

Even half of the emperors would know to design mechanisms in their tombs to prevent tomb robbers from entering, as the first emperor of the ages, how could Qin Shi Huang, who had killed Duan Duan, not be prepared at all.

Intuition told Qin Yu that the next road might not be easy. (To be continued.) )
