21. Tombs
"The tombs of our Ming Empire are very special and very difficult to excavate.
In particular, the tombs of the Ming Empire are very rich and very valuable. Perhaps for the ancients at that time, it was not very valuable.
But for us at this time, a random burial item from the tomb is a priceless cultural relic.
Some of the funerary goods may be porcelain and swords, but there are also some funerary goods that are books.
But whether it's books or porcelain, we want it at this time, especially books.
I heard that most of the books in ancient times were historical books and some advanced thoughts.
But whatever those ideas are, they are a culture for us. If we can unearth it, then in the foreign culture war, we can turn over and have the power to fight with Western culture. ”
Sitting in the car, Tang Can sighed while driving.
"Then why do you say that you can't dig up the tombs at all? Since you know that the excavation of the tomb will be of great benefit to you, your government ...... That is, hasn't the imperial court reacted to this at all? ”
Yakumoji asked.
"Yes!"
Tang Can Road.
"In the beginning, as soon as we found certain burials, the first thing we did was to establish a military administration area around the tombs to protect the tombs. Then the special forces will go down to the tomb to investigate. ”
"Wait?! What did you just say? Commando? Isn't that professional? ”
Yakumoji was puzzled in his heart.
To put it bluntly, special forces are soldiers, and they are used for war.
And the excavation of cultural relics is the responsibility of archaeologists! Call the special forces to excavate the tomb...... What's the difference between this and having a chef suddenly work as a computer fixer?
Professionalism is not right!
"No, there's a reason for letting the special forces go to the grave.
I remember hearing my grandfather say that when the Ming Empire was just beginning to fight the culture war, reporters came to watch the excavation of the tombs.
Most people dig their own tombs by digging up the sealed soil on the tombs first. And then in the direct digging of the coffin.
But the Great Tomb is different. Once the sealed soil is directly excavated, some structures in the tomb will be completely destroyed, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, archaeologists at the time decided to excavate the tombs in the manner of tomb robbers.
Dig a thief hole and sneak into it to unearth the tomb.
At that time, there were more than a dozen archaeologists in the tomb, but ...... The reporters and the people who answered waited for a day and a night by the cave, but the dozen or so archaeological experts were still nowhere to be seen.
Later, the imperial court sent more than a dozen soldiers to the tomb...... However, as a result, none of them came back from the tomb alive.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen special forces were directly dispatched to the grave...... But this time, it finally came to fruition.
But the special forces soldier only said one sentence to the official in charge of excavating the tomb at that time: 'Seal all this, be sure to issue a gag order'!
Then those reporters were all given gag orders by the imperial court, and what happened after that, my grandfather didn't know.
I only know that from now on, once there is a tomb to be excavated or explored, special forces must be dispatched to open the way, otherwise, excavation will never be allowed.
Our family knew all this because we had a lot of money, we were the richest man, and because my grandfather worked in the military back then.
Otherwise, almost no one knows about it.
But even if special forces are used every time to open the way, it is useless, every time they go to the tomb, every time they come back alive, there are less than one or two people, or they die directly in the tomb...... To this day, we still have not heard of any tombs that have been successfully excavated.
On the contrary, the news that the special forces died at the grave is spreading more and more, and now as long as they are the bosses of large groups, most of them have heard the news that they will die at the grave.
But that's why I'm asking you if you're going to excavate the tomb, after all, you just want to make trouble in this world, dominate the headlines, and make your presence felt.
The excavation of this tomb may also be a way to brush up on the sense of existence. ”
After hearing this, Yakumo Temple smiled, and then opened his mouth to call.
"Ah Zhen!"
When the words fell, a gap suddenly opened up beside Yakumo Temple, and Yakumozhen's figure began to slowly float out of the gap.
"This ...... Who is it? ”
Tang Can asked, he seemed to be immune to the fact that Yakumo Temple called out a person from time to time.
"This, my Shikigami ...... It's the equivalent of your personal maid in the human world. But I just think of her as a maid, a shikigami and a friend. ”
"Your Excellency."
After saying that, Bi Liwang hurriedly nodded respectfully towards the Eight Cloud Temple.
"Ah Zhen, you go to Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, where the current Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is, and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in this world may also be there. You go there and explore the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to see what is the difference between the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the current Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. ”
"Yes."
Ya Yunzhen agreed, and then hurriedly flew out of the car, cutting through the gap and flying towards Shaanxi Province.
Although Bayun Temple is going to Shaanxi Province next, it doesn't hurt to let Yayunzhen go to explore first.
…………………………
Time quietly came to night, and the night of the Ming Empire, for the borders of Europe and the Middle East, was noon and evening.
And for the Vatican, the capital of the country, it is around three o'clock in the afternoon.
For the present world, the Vatican of this world is not in Italy, but on the border of Turkey, where it meets Iran.
Although there is no longer the so-called Iran and Turkey and the Middle East in this world, there is only a country that is the capital of God.
As the world's second largest country in terms of military force, first in culture, and integrated with religion and government, the prosperity here is naturally world-famous.
It's a pity that in addition to the prosperity, people don't like the weather here very much, just because this is the Middle East.
The Middle East or Middle East refers to the eastern and southern regions of the Mediterranean, from the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, and the "Middle East" is also geographically the region of West Asia and Northeast Africa. It includes parts of Western Asia and Egypt in Africa.
The climate types in the Middle East are mainly tropical desert climate, Mediterranean climate, and temperate continental climate. Among them, the tropical desert climate is the most widely distributed.
A desert climate is also called a desert or arid climate. Due to the different latitudes, it is divided into three types: tropical desert, subtropical desert and temperate desert.
Desert climate is one of the most important elements in the formation of a desert environment. The present desert climate has evolved through geological and historical periods. The climate of the desert is a rich resource for human activities, but it can also bring disasters such as sandstorms, heat waves and floods.
The extremely arid desert climate spans a wide range of latitudes, with temperatures varying greatly from region to region. According to the different latitudes, it can be divided into low-latitude deserts and mid-latitude deserts. Low-latitude deserts, also known as hot deserts, are distributed in subtropical high-pressure areas near the Tropic of Cancer, such as the Sahara Desert in northern Africa, the Arabian Desert in southwest Asia, and the Great Desert in central Australia.
Mid-latitude deserts, also known as cold deserts, are distributed in the interior of temperate continents, such as the deserts in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia and the southwest of the North American continent.
A desert climate is an extreme case of a continental climate. The ground is extremely cool at night, and can even drop below 0°C. As a result, the temperature varies greatly from day to day. It can be up to 50°C or higher.
"But wear cotton in the morning and yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon with the stove" is not a sensational legend, but a picture of real life.
How do people like this kind of weather? No matter how prosperous it is...... In this kind of weather, the bustling scene is as ordinary as the wallpaper in the toilet.
It's not the kind of rich people who can raise lions and take ice baths anytime and anywhere, and almost no one can live a 'comfortable' life here.
The only thing that supports the poor people to live here is probably the 'faith' in their hearts.
After all, this is the capital of God, a place where faith is concentrated.
Tom, 60 years old, is also such a poor man who lives a difficult life in the City of God.
He is a cleaner by profession, and his daily job is to sweep the streets in this scorching sun.
He had wanted to leave, but it was a holy city, and his faith told him that he shouldn't leave at this time.
The suffering of the moment is just a postgraduate examination, and the flowers bloom forever after the storm.
After cleaning the streets as part of his duties, Old Tom went to church and prayed.
After the prayers, he left the church to return home.
Although he is a poor man, at least he has air conditioners and fans and refrigerators at home.
At home, there are things that can bring him a little coolness, and after so long in the sun, he just wants to go back home and cool off.
The scorching sun began to make him feel dazed, and he walked a little staggeringly.
'Am I going to get heat stroke today?' I'm just missing a bottle of water, God, please have mercy on your believers. ’
He kept asking himself in his heart, and he kept praying.
And just as he was about to lose his support and fall to the ground, he heard a voice.
"Sir, would you like some free cold drink?"
'Free cold drinks?! ’
Old Tom immediately came to his senses, and then forcibly supported the body of the pillar that was about to fall to the ground, and opened his eyes wide to find the source of the sound.
Then Old Tom saw that on his left hand, there was a fair-skinned blonde girl who did not look like a normal person at all, holding a dinner plate in one hand and a plastic bottle in the other, and stretched the plastic bottle to himself.
Old Tom was sure that the plastic bottle in the girl's hand was the so-called free cold drink.
It's just that old Tom doesn't like this color a little.
It's the same color as chocolate, but it's still bubbling inside.
"What is this? Really don't need money? ”
Old Tom asked weakly.
The girl smiled and replied.
"No money required, totally free. It's really just a drink that tastes like a liqueur without alcohol. ”
Old Tom hesitated, but finally took the plastic bottle from the girl's hand.
There was still some way to go home, and with Tom Sr.'s current strength, he was pretty sure that he would fall halfway, and it would be better to drink a drink of water and rest.
After all, it's free, and even if it tastes unsatisfactory, as long as it quenches your thirst.
The packaging of the plastic bottle surprised Tom Sr. a little, the plastic bottle was only wrapped in a circle of red plastic paper, and on the red paper, a picture of a bat was drawn, and two words were written on it, which was the name of the drink.
It's just that this drink makes old Tom feel a little disgusted with 'blood water'.
"Vampire-style drinks?"
The corners of Old Tom's mouth curled, and then he quickly opened the cap of the bottle and poured a few mouthfuls of blood into his mouth.
He couldn't stand it anymore, the dry cough in his throat and the sweat left on his body had already suffocated him.
Then, after drinking a few sips of blood, Old Tom hurriedly took the blood out of his mouth.
"What is this?!"
Old Tom exclaimed.
"Drinks."
The girl on the side reminded.
"No, it's definitely not your average drink. The stimulus in the mouth, with a slight sweetness in the excitement, is really hard to give a bad review of this drink. Then drink the coolness of the stomach, and the feeling of invigoration and excitement...... What a gift from God! ”
Old Tom said excitedly, then hurriedly looked at the girl and asked.
"Which beverage factory are you doing this to advertise? Did you leave the factory with this drink? I'm going to buy it and it's definitely the best drink I've ever had. ”
"That...... Actually, I'm not an employee of a beverage factory, I'm just an administrator of a restaurant. ”
"Restaurant? You didn't lie to me? ”
"No, our restaurant is called 'Blood Food', and it's already open, not far from here."
"Blood-eating? I'll definitely go back to cheer! ”
Old Tom was excited, and then hurried towards his home.
A bottle of blood water has long dissipated the heat in his body, and now he can go home even if he is very weak!
When he got home, Tom Sr. decided that he must go to the restaurant called 'Blood Food'.
Of course, as a religious old Tom, he naturally knew what the word 'blood food' meant?
Blood food refers to vampire things.
But now it is a civilized society, and it has long been fighting a culture war with other countries, and people naturally will not treat vampires like they burned witches when they found them in the Middle Ages.
This city of God also has a lot of vampire-related merchandise!
…………
But...... And that's limited to the fact that they laugh at vampires.
If there were vampires, people would still treat them the same way witches were treated in the Middle Ages.
The girl who gave Old Tom a free drink before was a vampire.
Her skin didn't look like human skin to Old Tom, but as everyone knows, this skin is the color of vampires.
Most people don't want to have this kind of skin yet, unless they become a new generation of vampires! [.]
