Chapter 223: Thief of the Cave

When Zhang Tianyuan and Li Mingguang felt the mass grave, they found a person pressed to the ground, looking very wolf.

"Brother Haiyang, what are you doing here at night?" Zhang Tianyuan asked in surprise when he saw that it was actually Liu Haiyang.

"This is my grave, I can come if I want, can you take care of it?" Liu Haiyang said.

"Brother Armed Police, please let him go. Zhang Tianyuan looked at the shovel in Liu Haiyang's hand, frowned slightly, and said.

Li Mingguang also nodded, and the armed policemen let go.

"In the middle of the night, we're still haunted, Brother Ocean, don't worry, we'll help you refill the grave tomorrow, and we won't dig it from here." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Don't dig from here?"

"Yes, there's my uncle's pepper field over there, and we're going to start there. Zhang Tianyuan replied.

"Oh, don't dig it, don't dig it, don't dig it, hahaha, haha, Tianyuan, you said it earlier, I don't have to ...... if you say it earlier"

"Not for what?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, I'm going home, I'm here at night to fill in the grave, then I'll work hard for you tomorrow." Liu Haiyang obviously didn't want to answer too many questions from Zhang Tianyuan, so he took a shovel and ran in the direction of home.

Looking at the direction Liu Haiyang ran, the corners of Zhang Tianyuan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.

With his understanding of Liu Haiyang, this guy will definitely not come to fill the grave at night, although because there are often people robbing tombs here, most of the people in the village don't believe in any ghosts and gods, but it takes a lot of courage to come to the mass grave alone at night. This guy definitely has a ghost.

But because of what, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't think of it for a while.

"Alright, alright. It's all right, let's go back and sleep well. It's still early in the morning. Li Mingguang saw that there was nothing wrong, so he beckoned everyone to go back.

On the way, he approached Zhang Tianyuan and asked in a low voice, "Tianyuan, do you think this person is here to rob the tomb?"

"No way, he didn't have the guts. Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "Unless someone is with him, this person is very timid, and he is alone, how can he rob the tomb? ”

"That's just as well. That's okay, you can go back and sleep well, it's a toss. ”

……

At this time, Liu Haiyang did not go home, but ran halfway down the road and suddenly ran into the nearby forest.

"Brother Dog, Brother Dog. ”

"Here it is. Someone in the woods shouted in a low voice.

Liu Haiyang leaned over, and under the faint flashlight light, the wolf dog's expression was very ugly.

"Damn, those armed police are too thieves. What should I do, I can't take things out. The wolf dog scolded.

"Brother dog, don't worry, they said. I don't dig from my ancestral grave, I have to dig from a pepper field 100 meters away. Liu Haiyang said.

"Who said that?"

Zhang Tianyuan said. ”

"Who is Zhang Tianyuan?"

"As for the village chief's son, that kid heard that he made some money outside. I came back and drove more than a million cars. Liu Haiyang replied.

"Oh?" a look of greed flashed in the wolfdog's eyes.

"Brother dog, let's not have extraneous branches, it's better not to have extraneous branches. Liu Haiyang saw what the wolf dog wanted to do. Said a little scared.

"I'm afraid of a ball, I don't need you to participate in this matter. I'm looking for someone from outside, kidnapping this kid and asking for money, and I won't kill him, what are you afraid of. The wolf dog smiled and said: "Anyway, I have to wait for a while before I can leave, so it's better to just get that Liu Xiuyun and let the brothers play, Brother Dog, I like the girl with fine skin and tender meat." ”

"Good...... Well, as long as you don't let me participate, that's fine. ”

"Damn, it's a useless thing, okay, since it's okay now, let's go home first. The wolf dog kicked Liu Haiyang at a glance, and the more he looked at this guy, the more angry he became.

"Brother dog, you can't go. Said a man in the dark.

"What's wrong?"

"Think about it, Brother Dog, although they dig from elsewhere, there is always a time when they dig nearby, in case they ......"

"yes, what do you say?"

"Brother dog, I've observed, there is a trench near the ancestral grave of the ocean, we can't dig it directly, but we can make a thief hole into it, as long as those armed police are not guarding nearby, they are not afraid of them finding out, we just need to find a master, it won't take long to crack the thief hole." ”

"Okay, just do as you say, find a familiar tomb robber, open a robbery hole, and take out the things to feel at ease. The wolf dog nodded.

……

After a few days, the archaeological excavation went very smoothly, and after the drilling was completed, the size and extent of the tomb were confirmed, and the excavation work began in earnest.

The archaeological team is not manpowered, so I asked the people in the village to help, of course, some hands and feet are clean, and the daily hardship fee is 100 yuan, which can be said to be very good, and it also includes a lunch meal.

There were more people, and the progress of this work was relatively smooth, and in just a few days, some stone carvings, ceramic fragments and other things that had been buried in the soil had already appeared.

On the other side, the wolf dog's thief hole is also fighting, but because the distance is relatively far, this thief hole needs to consider a lot of things, which takes a little longer, but it doesn't work if you don't fight, so the two sides just staggered the time.

The daytime work of archaeology, and the night work of digging holes, have not been encountered.

Zhang Tianyuan has already made up his mind to take the postgraduate examination for Li Mingguang, so he is also helping in the past few days, in Li Mingguang's words, this is called practice in advance, so as not to be afraid when he sees the bones of dead people, and he is scared when he sees bats.

In fact, Li Mingguang doesn't have to worry about this, Zhang Tianyuan went to Sanxingdui to help when he was at Nandu University, because his grades were very good at that time, he was recommended by the professor of the school, and he had already seen dead bodies.

However, this Tang Dingling Mausoleum is not quite the same as Sanxingdui, after all, this is the emperor's tomb, Zhongzong Li Xian is also a more representative figure in the history of the Tang Dynasty, the things in this tomb have undergone a large-scale expansion and repair during the Zhenyuan period, and there are more things in it than at the beginning. It's bigger than ever.

Although what they are digging now is only a corner of Tang Dingling, there are only people who accompany the burial. That's a lot.

According to the "Old Tang Book", there was a princess Zhao in the tomb. The mourners were Prince Li Chongjun, Princess Yicheng, Princess Changning, Princess Cheng'an, Princess Ding'an, Princess Yongshou, Ma Wei cymbals and Ma Wang Tongjiao, Wei Yuanzhong and others.

Many of them have not yet been recorded, and these people must have also accompanied the burial items and other things, so this excavation work is really not simple.

"Brother Tianyuan, you graduated from archaeology, do you know what to pay attention to in this field excavation work?" These days, Zhang Tianyuan is also familiar with Li Donghong, Li Jihong, and Qin Feixue.

In fact, after contact, these three young people are not as difficult to serve as imagined, and Li Donghong is a boring person. doesn't talk much, but it's very easy to get along with, Li Jihong talks a lot, and he also likes to make friends, it's just a personal acquaintance, he and Zhang Tianyuan began to call each other brothers and sisters in a few days.

Qin Feixue is actually a good girl, but she was probably a little pampered when she was a child, and she didn't pay much attention to what she said, so she just had such a shortcoming. In fact, she is still quite a cute girl, and she is also beautiful, so it is no wonder that Li Donghong and Li Jihong are willing to fight for her.

The one who asked Zhang Tianyuan was Qin Feixue. When she heard that Zhang Tianyuan was also going to be admitted to Li Mingguang's graduate school, she felt that she had become a brother and sister relationship, and there were many things she didn't know. also asked Zhang Tianyuan for advice.

Hearing Qin Feixue's question, Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "The excavation of field ruins adopts the exploration method. From top to bottom, dig layer by layer according to the formation accumulation, and encounter ash pits, house sites, etc. According to the opening layer and the breaking of the relationship, the latest age should be excavated first, and then the earliest age should be excavated. The excavation of small tombs is generally carried out according to the exploration method, and the large tombs can be excavated according to the scope of the tomb after the boundary can be drilled out of the frame, and the relationship between the strata and the adjacent remains can be determined. Excavations should be recorded at any time, maps of the relics in the exploration party should be drawn, important relics should be photographed, and the excavated objects should be numbered and recorded as markings. The excavation of large-scale tombs should pay attention to whether there is sealed soil and sacrificial buildings on the surface. ”

"By the way, don't forget to keep a diary of your daily excavations. ”

"This can match the Tang Dingling Mausoleum we are excavating now, right?"

"Yes, this is the method used this time, but you didn't do a good job in the early stage, so there was a lot of trouble. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"What preliminary work?" Qin Feixue asked curiously, she was slapped in vain this time, and she felt wronged for a long time, but she still didn't understand what she had done wrong, and how to correct it next time.

"It's not wise for you to start digging without an archaeological process. ”

"Archaeological survey?"

"Yes, fieldwork is preparation for excavation. There are two types of surveys: census and focused survey. The census is to understand all the cultural relics in a given area, and the focused survey is to selectively investigate according to the identified academic topics. The survey is preceded by a review of ancient documents and published archaeological literature to determine the scope of the survey. ”

"We've done it all. Qin Feixue interjected.

"The key is to pay attention to natural cliffs and other aspects in the investigation, observe and analyze, listen to the feedback of the local people, and the key places for human life are along the rivers, especially near the confluence of the two rivers. During the investigation, it is necessary to carry the necessary utensils, do a good job of writing, drawing and photography, and collect specimens such as pottery, stone tools, copper coins, and building components. Your biggest problem is that you ignored the investigation of the people in the vicinity, and that was the case that day. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"Oh, it turns out that there is so much knowledge, no wonder I am an archaeology major, and I know so much. Qin Feixue sighed and said.

"Aren't you an archaeology major?"

"I studied history, and later became interested in archaeology because of the influence of a senior sister at Imperial Capital University, so I wanted to be a graduate student in archaeology. Qin Feixue replied.

"Senior sister?"

"That's right, a senior sister named Liu Mengxun, we met at a sorority, she is amazing, she knows everything. Qin Feixue said proudly.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but be stunned, this world is really small enough, and he can actually meet Liu Mengxun's acquaintances here.

"That Liu Mengxun is my girlfriend. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Lie!"

"What am I lying to you for, if you don't believe it, just call her and ask. Zhang Tianyuan is very proud to have a girlfriend like Liu Mengxun, so he won't hide it, and he doesn't have other crooked thoughts anyway.

"Forget it, Sister Liu, she said last time she went to the United States, and international calls are so expensive. Qin Feixue shook her head and said.

"You don't ask, but don't say I'm lying. Zhang Tianyuan smiled, stood up and looked at the tomb that had been excavated with a large pit.

"Tian Yuan, come down, don't stand on it, it's useless just to look at it, you have to do it. (To be continued......)
