(Chapter 3)

Professor Ji, who asked this question, was stunned.!

"Tomb robbing tools? What do you mean? Could it be that there were grave robbers there? Or did you try to steal the burial artifacts from the general's tomb by yourself with the tools of tomb robbery? ”

Faced with Professor Ji's series of questions, Tang Yan only used a simple answer and answered them all.

"When I went in, I found that someone had taken the lead, and that person had left behind a small box full of tomb robbery tools, and along the way, sappers shoveled tactical flashlights and so on."

Professor Ji and Ji Fanxi were instantly shocked, someone had already discovered this general's tomb before Tang Yan entered, and the reason why this general's tomb was not stolen was entirely because its structure was too complicated, making the tomb robber completely unable to start. However, in this way, it also proves that the tomb robber has quite professional knowledge, and he knows very well that no matter how he breaks the outer layer of the tomb, it will cause the entire tomb to collapse, and even his life will be lost, so Tang Yan has a chance to discover this ancient tomb, otherwise, I am afraid that by the time Tang Yan discovers the ancient tomb, this place will already be empty.

However, even so, it does not seem to be a particularly strange thing, after all, any ancient tomb may be patronized by tomb robbers, and even the tombs of some ancient celebrities were exposed to the world because of tomb robbers. What's more, there have always been such sayings in the archaeological circles, such as Cao Cao's tomb, which has not been found until now, and the so-called doubtful tomb is only an external statement. Within the archaeological community, it is often believed that mausoleums such as Cao Cao's tomb have long been patronized by ancient tomb robbers and have been greatly damaged, so they will still not be found under today's social structure and technological level.

Why did Tang Yan suddenly mention this? It's a bit weird.

Professor Ji didn't understand Tang Yan's intentions at all, but Ji Fanxi thought of what Tang Yan said before. Yuan Jun has ghosts.

"Tang Yan, you don't think Senior Brother Yuan is ......"

Although he didn't say it, Professor Ji also understood the meaning of his daughter's words. It seems that Tang Yan became suspicious of Yuan Jun.

"Tang Yan, this can't be guessed, there is just some personal misunderstanding between Yuan Jun and you. You can't think of him like that. Yuan Jun has been with me since he was in graduate school, and I still know him very well, he ......"

Tang Yan interrupted Professor Ji's words: "Professor Ji, you are too worried. I don't deny that I mean that, but I will never tell anyone else about this without evidence and speculation. The reason why I chose to say these words to you is that I want to learn from you, do you know the situation in Yuan Jun's family? ”

Professor Ji obviously pondered, and seemed to be a little worried about Yuan Jun's family situation.

"The situation in Yuan Jun's family is indeed more complicated, his great-grandfather was born as a captain of the Golden School. This is what we commonly call tomb robbers. But that was before liberation, and that era itself was chaotic. ”

"Oh, great-grandfather...... So did Yuan Jun's grandfather and his father also engage in these things? ”

"His grandfather must have learned this skill when he was a child. After all, it is an ancestral craft, and it is impossible not to pass it on to the next generation. However, at the time of liberation, his grandfather was not very old, and he should not have been able to continue to engage in these things. As for Yuan Jun's father, he is also an industry insider engaged in archaeological research, although he has no achievements. However, there is some understanding of this aspect. But judging from his father's situation, he probably wouldn't do such a thing. ”

Tang Yan nodded: "This means that Yuan Jun actually has a great chance of inheriting his great-grandfather's methods of robbing tombs?" ”

"You can say that, but ......"

Tang Yan waved his hand: "Professor Ji, you don't need to say it, I know what you want to say." I'm not saying he's that kind of person, but it's always nice to be a little more careful. As for whether those tomb robbery tools are owned by Yuan Jun or not, let's wait patiently for time to judge. ”

Ji Fanxi frowned, she knew that since Tang Yan said these words, of course, it couldn't all be based on guesswork, there must be other reasons.

"Tang Yan, don't hide it, it's the most annoying thing when you talk about it. Tell me clearly, why do you suspect that those tomb robbery tools belong to Yuan Jun, although there are no more people engaged in this business now, why must they be Yuan Jun? ”

When Professor Ji heard it, yes, why? Before, he was just worried about his students, but he didn't think about this, why did Tang Yan suddenly link the tomb robbery tools he found with Yuan Jun? If you really want to talk about the background of the ancestors, among Professor Ji's students, there are other people with similar backgrounds, who may not be from the Captain of the Golden School, but there are also some old insects who specialize in collecting dead things to make a living. Although such people do not rob tombs with their own hands, they are also clear about tomb robbing, and it is not impossible for the next generation to change careers to do this.

"That's right, Tang Yan, tell me the reason."

"I remember the first time I met Yuan Jun, that is, when Teacher Fanxi brought me here for the first time, everyone seemed very calm when they introduced me to Professor Ji and your students at the beginning. But when Mr. Fanxi said that I was the discoverer of this ancient tomb, and it was also because of my relationship, that the State Administration of Cultural Heritage would invite Professor Ji to preside over the excavation of the mausoleum, Yuan Jun's reaction at that time was a little strange. ”

"Strange? How strange is it? Professor Ji and Ji Fanxi asked in unison.

Tang Yan smiled, just at this time, the car also drove to the city, so he parked the car on the side of the road, turned around, and gestured at Professor Ji and Ji Fanxi's father and daughter: "Professor Ji, do you remember your reaction at that time?" Of course, if you hear my name, or you don't need to hear my name, as long as you see me, you will guess my identity, and you will naturally know that the reason why this excavation fell on your head was because of my request. But when you know I'm the introducer, how do you feel about me? Or what should a normal person's reaction look like? ”

Professor Ji thought about it carefully: "I myself am a little grateful, especially after I saw the structure of this general's tomb with my own eyes, this is simply a miracle in the history of ancient architecture, which makes us marvel at the scientific and technological strength of the ancients." ”

Tang Yan waved his hand: "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about what it was like when you saw me for the first time." ”

"It's gratitude, and I also suddenly realized, I imagined what kind of child you would be before, and when I saw you, I knew it. A feeling of falling out of the water. ”

Tang Yan nodded: "So, those of your students, and the rest of your entire group, may feel different from you, but at least they are all a little curious, which is good, right?" ”

"That's for sure, I've mentioned you to a few students before, and I've told them about this tomb that you asked me to lead the excavation, and they're all curious about what kind of kid you're going to be."

"Then there's no problem, in fact, when Teacher Fanxi introduced me to you, most of them looked friendly, thinking that I was a student of Teacher Fanxi, and maybe I wanted to learn more. Then when Mr. Fanxi said that I asked you to host this opportunity, everyone's reaction was the same, with a little curiosity, a little incredible, and more, of course, you said gratitude...... Oh, I see the kindness they showed me as an underlying sign of gratitude, right? ”

"No problem, that's it!" Professor Ji said with certainty.

Tang Yan smiled and smiled very calmly: "However, I remember Yuan Jun's eyes at that time very clearly, it was a look with obvious jealousy. I'm still surprised, I have just an ordinary teacher-student relationship with Teacher Fanxi, and even if I seem very close, it's only because I'm her best student, and I'm leaving the matter of this ancient tomb to you to deal with. Although Teacher Fanxi is not very old, he is three years older than me, according to the logic of a normal person, even if that person has admiration for Teacher Fanxi and wants to pursue Teacher Fanxi, will he not be full of hostility towards me? ”

Professor Ji turned his face to look at his daughter, and found that Ji Fanxi lowered his head slightly shyly. He thought that Ji Fanxi was shy because Tang Yan had broken Yuan Jun's thoughts, but he didn't know that the reason why Ji Fanxi was like this was because Tang Yan said that the two of them were ordinary teacher-student relationships. First, Ji Fanxi was worried about being exposed, and secondly, she was also a little resentful, how could Tang Yan say that her relationship with him was an ordinary teacher-student relationship, and that there was an ordinary teacher-student relationship where she would go to bed if she had nothing to do?

"I don't know much about the psychology of young people, but in general, you're right. Yuan Jun did show something abnormal in this matter. ”

"What if, then, his hostility towards me doesn't come from the fact that he sees me as a potential rival? In fact, no normal person, at least so far, should see me as a rival in love. Suppose, I mean hypothetical, suppose I am more intimate with Teacher Fanxi, and Yuan Jun and I are more familiar, even if he misunderstands and thinks that I also have a love for Teacher Fanxi, and then become hostile to me, then it is easier to explain. Besides, even if he sensed that I also had the intention of pursuing Teacher Fanxi, in fact, he shouldn't have to pay too much attention to it, how could a mature man of his age and education be so hostile to an eighteen-year-old boy? Well, the only explanation is that he hated me, not because of Teacher Fanxi, but because I found this ancient tomb! ”
