Ding Sicheng thought about it for a while, and then asked Bai Yang: "I know you are not familiar with the tomb robbery world, but have you heard your grandfather mention that there is a sect full of women in the tomb robbery world?"

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No! I always thought that all the people who fought were men, but I never thought that there would be a sect full of women!"

Ding Sicheng nodded and said, "Earlier, we mentioned several warlocks who made alchemy for Qin Shi Huang, and after their disappearance, their descendants formed several special sects in order to find the secret of the elixir of immortality. Among them, there is a sect of all Taoists, called the Pioneer Taoist. But in fact, among those alchemists, two of them are women, and their descendants have also formed a sect, called the Gleaning Gate, which is basically all women, even if there are men, they are not reused. However, in the Song Dynasty, because the status of women took a sharp turn for the worse, all women had to wrap their little feet and could not show their heads, so the gleaning gate became extinct. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the gleaning gate suddenly reappeared, some people said that they were just a group of oppressed women trying to survive, and others said that they were the descendants of the two female sorcerers of the Qin Dynasty who reunited together. But it is impossible to find out how. ”

"What does Uncle Ding mean is that Hongxing has something to do with this gleaning gate?" asked Poplar cautiously.

"Yes!" Ding Sicheng nodded, "When I was young, I once entered a large tomb, and when I was attacked by two zombies, I almost died, and a woman surnamed Hong saved me." Later, I learned that she was the young master of the Gleaning Gate, and Hongxing was her daughter!"

Poplar was taken aback and blurted out, "You mean...... Hongxing is the master of the Missing Sect?"

"Yes!" Ding Sicheng nodded.

"That red apricot...... She wants to join our grave search team, will she ...... Another plan?"

Poplar asked again. Suddenly remembered that Hongxing was drunk that night, and asked him about the tomb of the Taoist priest of the Qin Dynasty, and now he thinks that Hongxing was 100% drunk that night.

was pondering whether to tell Ding Sicheng about this, Ding Sicheng sighed softly and said, "She must have a plan, I guess she wants to use the power of our grave search team to find out the list of immortal medicines!"

"Uncle Nadine...... Why did you agree to let her join us? No, it wasn't because of ...... Her mother saved Uncle Ding, right?"

Bai Yang cautiously asked again, and his intuition told him that Ding Sicheng should not be such a person who does not distinguish between public and private.

Sure enough, Ding Sicheng shook his head and smiled: "Of course it won't be because of this! They want to find the immortal medicine list, but two thousand years have passed, so easy to find, didn't they find it a long time ago? What's more, she wants to use us, and we can also use them! In their hands, they must also have some clues that we don't know, and the reason why I asked her to join is for this!"

Bai Yang had long known that Ding Sicheng was very scheming, and he was not surprised that he would have such an arrangement, and only asked: "Uncle Ding also thinks that the immortal medicine list does exist?"

"I didn't think so before, but now, after all, you have found an immortal elixir, and this immortal elixir does have a very miraculous medicinal effect, so ...... If we can really find the list of immortal medicines, even if we can't really be immortal, it will be an extremely important discovery in the history of human medicine. ”

Bai Yang thought that Ding Sicheng was reasonable, and asked again: "What does Uncle Ding want me to do?"

"You don't need to do anything out of your mind, I just want you to pay attention to Hongxing's movements! In addition, this matter must not be told to anyone, including your good brother Tie Niu, including Lingling!"

"Even Lingling doesn't know about this?" Bai Yang asked in surprise, feeling so stressed all of a sudden.

"She doesn't know! She is a little unaccustomed to Hongxing, and I don't want to increase her hostility!" Ding Sicheng said.

"I'm actually a little unaccustomed to red apricots!" Poplar scratched his scalp.

"But you're a man after all, so you don't need to get too close to her!" Ding Sicheng said.

Bai Yang was right when he thought about it, and immediately stood up and said, "Uncle Ding, don't worry, I know how to do it!"

Ding Sicheng nodded and said: "For now, you will rest for two days, and Lingling will take you around Xi'an! At present, a large part of the archaeological community's energy is focused on the excavation and sorting of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Emperor, and it will be very helpful for your future work to let Lingling take you to participate!"

Bai Yang hurriedly agreed, seeing that Ding Sicheng seemed to have a worried look between his eyebrows, he opened his mouth to ask, but he held back and retreated cautiously.

Ding Lingling was waiting outside, and when she saw Bai Yang coming out, Ding Lingling asked with a smile: "What did my father talk to you about for so long?"

"I didn't talk about anything, I just talked about it...... I feel so stressed about making me the leader of the group!" said Poplar, telling the truth, with reservations.

Ding Lingling smiled and said, "What's the pressure, anyway...... I think you can do it!"

Bai Yang's heart thumped, and he quietly glanced at Ding Lingling, hurriedly calmed down, and said, "But I think...... Uncle Ding seems to have something on his mind, so he can't be worried about me, right?"

"How is it possible!" Ding Lingling smiled, and then frowned, "It should be with ...... One of the senior brothers of our grave search team has no news about it so far!"

Poplar was startled and hurriedly asked.

Ding Lingling said: "I only know that my dad arranged for this senior brother to go to Xiangxi half a month ago, but I don't know what he is going to do, so let's wait and see what my dad says!"

When Bai Yang heard her say this, he naturally stopped asking.

The next day, poplars, iron oxen, and red apricots followed Ding Lingling to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit of Qin Shi Huang.

Since the discovery of the No. 1 pit of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in 74, followed by the discovery of the No. 2 pit and No. 3 pit of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses two years later, a full decade has passed, and the excavation, arrangement, and restoration work of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are still ongoing.

Huge scaffolds were naturally erected on top of each figurine pit, and the scaffolding was also closed around it to prevent the terracotta figurines from being eroded by wind and rain.

After Bai Yang and the others entered the scene, they saw the countless terracotta figurines neatly arranged in the figurine pit, all of which were life-size, and they were all majestic and solemn in appearance, just like the ancient army preparing to go on the expedition, Bai Yang and the others were also shocked for a long time.

But because Bai Yang and the other three couldn't even use ordinary archaeological tools, Ding Lingling didn't dare to let them go directly into the figurine pit, but stayed in the edge area of the figurine pit, trying to sort out and number some of the excavated fragments.

Tie Niu is not very capable of doing this kind of meticulous work, but with Hongxing in front of him, he still learns very hard.

But Bai Yang quickly plunged into it, perhaps because of the shock brought to him by the Qin figurines, and he actually began to really take an interest in archaeology.

As a result, by the end of the first day, Poplar was not only proficient in using various archaeological tools, but also had a certain understanding of the collation and restoration of archaeological fragments.

Although Ding Lingling did not directly praise her, the approving smile on her face made Poplar more motivated.

That night, Bai Yang and the others stayed in a camp not far from the archaeological site with hundreds of archaeologists.

The campsite is actually a few large tents set up not far from the figurine pit greenhouse, which are naturally separated from men and women, and there are special warehouses and canteens.

In addition, the armed police soldiers who were transferred to take charge of the guard set up a tent on both sides of the canopy closer to the figurine pit.

According to the schedule of the archaeological team, work starts at 8 o'clock in the morning and rests at 6 o'clock in the evening. Before 8 o'clock in the morning and after 8 o'clock in the evening, even the archaeologists who participated in the excavation of the Qin figurines could not enter and leave the figurine pit greenhouse casually.

Poplar and Tie Niu woke up early the next day because they went to bed early at night, and saw that everyone else who got up early was running around the camp, and the two of them also ran along the figurine pit.

Several armed police soldiers were patrolling back and forth at the edge of the greenhouse, and when they saw the poplar iron bull running over, they directly waved them away.

So the Poplar Iron Ox is farther away.

The sun had not yet risen, and the morning mist reflected a faint glow, giving people a hazy and ethereal wonderland.

But in this haze, Poplar saw several black shadows, struggling and twisting and acting strangely.

At first, Poplar thought that there were other members of the archaeological team boxing and exercising here, but when he looked closely, the figures had disappeared.

Bai Yang stopped in shock, and glanced back and forth, and indeed there was no one else around here except him and Tie Niu.

Moreover, they had already run away from the figurine pit greenhouse, and even the figures of the patrolling armed police were clearly visible in the morning fog.

Iron Bull had already run to the front, and when he turned his head, he saw Poplar stop, and ran back to ask him why he didn't run.

Poplar shook his head and didn't say much, and continued to run forward with the iron bull.

As a result, all morning, Poplar didn't feel very steady.

The previous two experiences had taught him that as long as it was what he saw, it was likely to be true.

But the question is, this time he only saw a few dark shadows, what did that mean?

However, Poplar only muttered in his heart, and did not tell anyone about it.

It wasn't until the afternoon that there was a sudden sensation on the side of the No. 3 pit, and Ding Lingling rushed over to take a look, only to know that at the edge of the No. 3 pit, a colorful terracotta warrior had been newly excavated.

In fact, when all the terracotta warriors were first unearthed, the colors of their clothes and weapons were not the clay colors seen today, but were red and green, which were very bright.

It's a pity that after being unearthed, due to the influence of air oxidation, these bright colors will peel off and disappear in just a few minutes. Even the most authoritative experts have no way of not having time to stop this change.

But this colorful figurine that has just been unearthed, I don't know what technology is used, the color on its body is not only more vivid, but also after it is unearthed, those bright colors have not oxidized and mutated, but always remain bright as new.

Then the experts on the scene were surprised and delighted.

What is even more incredible to the experts is that the heads, torsos, limbs, etc., of the other terracotta figurines are all fired separately and then combined into a whole.

But this painted figurine, which does not change color, seems to be fired as a whole.
