When Cheng Sigui and his assistants went down to the pit, all the terracotta figurines in it had already fallen off, and when they looked at it again, it was already gray.

"Teacher Cheng, what is this, how can there be such a big terracotta figurine?!" a female student asked.

In fact, terracotta figurines are not uncommon in the long history of China, especially in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, the development of pottery technology reached its peak, porcelain was not yet mature, and the tradition of replacing living burials with terracotta figurines gradually became the mainstream.

What Shandong pottery music and dance acrobatic figurines, Sichuan pottery rap figurines, Henan technical figurines, can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period.

But these terracotta figurines that have been excavated have a characteristic, that is, they are small, generally 4~10cm, and those that can have 20cm are considered large.

But the terracotta figurines that appeared in front of the scientific expedition team in front of them were all big people over 1.8 meters, and if they didn't look carefully, they almost thought that there were living people buried underneath!

"Teacher Cheng, look, there are still weapons!" a male classmate picked up a head from the ground.

As for the pole of the weapon, it was wooden, and it had long since decayed.

Cheng Sigui's mood was shocked, this was the first time he had seen such a large-scale life-size terracotta figurine! Wow, there were two carriages there, which seemed to be made of copper, and they were generous!

In fact, there were several large-scale life-size terracotta figurines similar to the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang in the Han Dynasty.

In that time and space, in 1965, the terracotta warriors of the Xianyang Han generals were discovered, and a total of more than 1,800 infantry figurines, more than 580 cavalry figurines, and more than 100 dance and music figurines were unearthed.

In 1984, the Xuzhou Lion Mountain Han Terracotta Warriors were unearthed, which was the mausoleum of Liu Wu, the third generation of Chu King of the Western Han Dynasty.

In addition, there are all kinds of terracotta figurines found in the Hanyang Mausoleum of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in 1990, including terracotta warriors and horses, and the scale is also not small.

But in this life, none of these large figurine pits have been found and excavated, and even life-size terracotta figurines have appeared on a large scale for the first time, which has raised the excavation value of the Qin terracotta warriors to a new level.

In fact, even if there are other terracotta warriors and horses as a comparison, the uniqueness of the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is not comparable to the other terracotta warriors.

Whether it is the scale, craftsmanship, age, momentum, or the fame and prestige of the owner, the other few cannot threaten the status of the Qin Terracotta Warriors in the world of figurines.

Soon, electric lights were installed in the underground figurine pit, and everyone's vision suddenly widened a lot.

Then there were slices of exclamations of "Wow!"

Lifelike terracotta warriors and horses appeared in front of everyone for the first time, some of them were squatting, some were standing, some were driving carriages, some were holding bows and arrows, each of them had different postures and facial expressions, and in this regard, it was not comparable to the terracotta figurines of the Han Dynasty.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum are worthy of the title of a miracle of the world!

Before Cheng Sigui gave the order, everyone stood still, not daring to touch those tall terracotta figurines.

Cheng Sigui was so engrossed that he didn't have time to blame the rash act of Feng Han just now, his gloved hand touched a terracotta figurine beside him, and a layer of blue powder appeared on the white glove.

Cheng Sigui seemed to be aware of it, and hurriedly asked Feng Han, "When you came down just now, did you see that these terracotta figurines were also this color?"

"It's so dark, I didn't see it," Seeing Cheng Sigui's disappointed look, Feng Han hurriedly said, "But, I took a picture~"

Feng Han shook the camera on his chest and gave Cheng Sigui a big surprise.

Just now Cheng Sigui found that something seemed to have fallen off on the terracotta figurines, and he guessed that it might be the pigment layer on the body, saying that the Qin people were still black, and if these terracotta figurines were colorful, then some statements might become debatable.

In order to retain the brilliant colors of the terracotta warriors, Feng Han took a lot of photos.

Cheng Sigui looked over one by one, and he was first surprised that Feng Han could shoot so accurately when he took pictures underground, including almost all the terracotta figurines in the underground figurine pit!

Then, I regretted that, oh my God, these terracotta figurines were all colored! But because he didn't think about it in advance, and didn't pay enough attention to this pit, he easily entered the pit, causing all these colors to fall off!

"Send me a copy of these photos when you go back," Cheng Sigui said, "Also, thank you for these photos, if it weren't for these photos, maybe we wouldn't know that these terracotta figurines are so colorful!"

Feng Han scratched his head and asked, "Teacher Cheng, this is obviously not the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and it is not a mausoleum at all, so what is it?"

"This is a burial pit!" As a famous scholar, this small question is difficult for Cheng Sigui.

"And the scale of this burial pit is not small, there are all kinds of troops, the style is the style of the Qin Dynasty, from the distance, there are 1500 meters away from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and there is no discrepancy with the record of the overall project of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in the history books, this should be the burial pit of Qin Shi Huang!"

As soon as Cheng Sigui said this, his assistants and students were all shocked, they unexpectedly discovered Qin Shi Huang's burial pit!

Oh my God, this is enough for them to make a name for themselves in the archaeological world!

Feng Han was very happy that Cheng Sigui could directly think of this idea, it is very important who the terracotta warriors and horses are, if it were not for Qin Shihuang's burial pit, then his value would be greatly reduced.

However, at this time, You Xiao raised a different opinion.

"Qin Shi Huang pursues everything big, and Afang Palace covers more than 300 miles, but is this burial pit a little smaller, a little not in line with his majestic atmosphere of the first emperor through the ages?"

He was in a hurry to speak out, also because Mr. Cheng's genuine students looked down on the two of them, so he wanted to show off his presence.

The female student who asked the first question was just about to accuse You Xiao of being too talkative, but Cheng Sigui said, "What you said is not unreasonable, even if this burial pit is considered to be the top scale among the burial pits that have been discovered, there are still several Han Dynasty princes who can be compared, but Qin Shi Huang must be the first suspect, as for who this pit belongs to, this needs to be continuously studied later." ”

At this time, Feng Han said, "There must be more than one burial pit for Qin Shi Huang, will there be more around?"

Cheng Sigui: "There is this possibility. ”

"Teacher, what are we going to do now?" the girl asked again.

Cheng Sigui looked at the time, "Let's cover the shed first, this is the first time we have found such a large-scale life-size terracotta figurines, and the manufacturing process is very advanced, it is suspected that Qin Shihuang is in the burial pit, so the first thing to do is to strengthen the guards, I suggest that the nearby military replace the police to guard and protect." ”

"In addition, I will send invitations to pre-Qin history experts from all universities to study and determine the dynasty together," Cheng Sigui made arrangements, "As for the follow-up work of the underground palace of Famen Temple, Huang Chuanrui, you can go back and preside over it." ”

"Teacher~" As the earliest graduate student led by Cheng Sigui, Huang Chuanrui, who is now a lecturer at Guanghua University, is very reluctant.

Cheng Sigui said with relief, "You are an expert in the Tang Dynasty, the subject of the Qin Dynasty is not suitable for you, and I don't feel at ease if Famen Temple is handed over to others." ”

The teacher said so, and Huang Chuanrui had no choice but to obey.

Back on the ground, Feng Han's eyes rolled and he sighed, "I didn't expect that there is a burial pit of Qin Shihuang under my house, it seems that my studio plan is going bankrupt~"
