"You also know that I am a good person, so I was specially recruited by the relevant departments." Zeng Rong spread his hands and explained.

"Oh, I see, it's you who is doing the security work." Zhang Yun had an expression that I understood, and I didn't think about it more at all.

"Yes, that's me." Zeng Rong smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm worried that I can't protect you?" ”

In fact, Zeng Rong sighed in his heart, it seems that Director Zhang and Zhang Yunyi don't know the true purpose of this archaeological operation! It is no wonder that this kind of national security secret, how can it be told to these people?

"Sending such a beautiful female surname to such a dangerous matter, the people in the relevant departments are really ruthless!" Zeng Rong sighed in his heart, "This Zhang Yunyi's safety must be well protected." ”

"I'm relieved to have you here." Zhang Yun nodded.

One captain, two deputy captains, two armed police soldiers, three assistants, three assistants, two are Zhang Dingfu's assistants, one is Zhang Yunyi's assistant, a group of eight people, on the plane to Cainan!

The archaeological target of this time is the Lijiang River in Cainan. What needs to be excavated are the cultural relics of the ancient Naxi people, the most important of which is a site of Naxi Dongba religious activities!

In the eyes of Director Zhang and Zhang Yunyi, this was a normal archaeological operation, but Zeng Rong knew that according to intelligence, a scroll of scriptures written in Dongba script was found in this ruin seven or eight hundred years ago, and this volume of scriptures was bought at a higher price than normal.

Therefore, according to the above analysis, there must be cultural relics containing mysterious powers in this theft and excavation incident, so an archaeological team protected by high-level agents appeared in the land where the Naxi people settled in Lijiang, Cainan.

Cainan Lijiang Ancient Town, listed as a UNESCO cultural heritage, is an extremely beautiful ancient city. It is also one of the tourist attractions in China, but Zeng Rong and his party did not have the opportunity to enter the ancient city, just arrived in Lijiang City, and were greeted into three cars in the new city and drove to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

The site of the activities of the ancient Dongba religion is at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

The three cars were all military off-road vehicles, with military license plates, and the road was unimpeded, and they soon arrived at the bottom of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can see that the mountain is covered with a layer of white snow, even in the hot summer, the top of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain will be covered with snow because the altitude is more than 4,000 meters, not to mention that it is still in the late winter.

The top of the mountain is covered with snow, but the temperature at the foot of the mountain is about 20 degrees.

This is not a tourist route, so there are few people, and the local political axe has arranged three cars and two local guides, both of whom are middle-aged Naxi people. The clothes inside are the same as ordinary people, that is, on the coat on the upper body, there are some ethnic patterns.

After walking for more than an hour, I finally arrived at the ruins of the ancient Dongba religion. After the off-road vehicle could not pass, it took more than half an hour to walk, which shows that this place has entered the depths of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

The place of the ruins is a valley, and in the middle of the valley is a fairly large flat land, which is basically a flat land, and in the middle of the flat land, dozens of wooden poles are erected.

Over time, the poles have decayed, but they are still standing there.

There are no houses, but there are two tents. Seeing someone coming, the two men immediately got out of the tent.

This is a person specially assigned by the political axe to guard the ruins. Although the real thing is not told to the relevant personnel, it is clear that the above practice is much stricter than the normal behavior!

On some wooden poles, some character statues can be clearly distinguished, and the images of the statues are different, these are the characters of Naxi legends.

Dongba religion is a primitive witch religion that worships nature, and this place is obviously the place they use to worship the sky, the wind and other sacrificial activities.

"Where did you dig up those verses?" When he came to the ruins, Zhang Yun immediately asked the guide next to him.

"Comrade expert, it's in these places, within the scope of this piece!" The guide walked in front and motioned for Zhang Yunyi to follow.

In front of the wooden poles, there is a clear remnant of a building, and the outline of the foundations can be seen on the ground.

In many places, there are obvious traces of the soil being turned, and these marks are the remains left by the poachers.

"It seems that this should be the place where the priests of Dongba lived." Zhang Yunyi walked around the ruins of this building, thought about it and said.

"So where do you think archaeological work should begin?" Director Zhang immediately asked.

Although Director Zhang is the captain and Zhang Yunyi is just the deputy captain, Zhang Yunyi still has to make up his mind when it comes to archaeological excavation. Who made Zhang Yunyi hang the title of expert!

"We should hire people to start with this building and carry out a large-scale excavation." Zhang Yunyi said.

In archaeological work, it is easy to have to do large-scale excavations, and these excavations must not be carried out by archaeological teams.

The general practice is to hire local people, distribute tools, and then guide them to carry out careful and careful excavation work.

The work is extremely arduous, and some large-scale archaeological activities often take months to excavate, that is, you have to stay in the wild for these months!

"Okay, you're going to have to invite more people over?" Director Zhang also knew the rules of writing archaeology, so he immediately asked.

"Thirty, let them bring their own hoes, shovels, and other tools, and slabs. Basketful. The salary is generally 100 yuan a day. Zhang Yunyi said.

"Okay, the money is reimbursed from above, that's no problem." Director Zhang Dingfu said.

Turning around and walking towards the two guides, Director Zhang and them had a ditch traffic, very quickly. The two guides went separately to find someone.

After an hour, thirty men arrived with all kinds of tools. The remains of this building have an area of more than 300 square meters, which is not large, and soon, under the guidance of Zhang Yunyi, under the supervision and help of several assistants, the excavation work was immediately carried out.

In the evening, according to Zhang Yunyi's words, the excavation work was only one-tenth of the way!

Archaeological excavation is not to dig up the ruins, which is excavated very carefully, because if you don't pay attention, you will destroy the cultural relics, or the relics with great research value.

There are even some key places where you need to use a brush to slowly brush off the dirt on the items, trying not to damage the original appearance of the antiquities.

As a result, the excavation work proceeded very slowly.

Because of the arrival of the archaeological team, the two guards of the ruins were also withdrawn, and under the decision of Director Zhang, the entire archaeological team of eight people lived on the ruins.

Five tents were erected, Zhang Yunyi and Director Zhang each had a tent, and the other six people lived in three tents, and a bonfire was lit in front of the five tents, because there were two shifts at night, and two people in each shift were responsible for the night shift.

The night shift is to prevent the emergence of poachers and prevent those people from secretly excavating while the archaeological team is asleep.

For the sake of fairness, all eight of them were assigned night shifts.

"I'll be in a group with Zhang Yun, she is a female surname." At the time of distribution, Zeng Rong said.

Zhang Yunyi is a female surname, and Zeng Rong is the core of security work, these two people are arranged in a group, which is naturally the best plan, not to mention, when Zeng Rong made this suggestion, Zhang Yunyi also acquiesced.

The two of them just changed to the second shift, the first shift was from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., and the second shift was from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.

At two o'clock in the morning, Zeng Rong and Zhang Yun changed shifts, and the two sat in front of the bonfire.

"I'm hungry, get something to eat, do you want to eat?" As soon as I sat down, a wave of hunger came over me.

There's no way, there are so many people, Zeng Rong can't get up at eleven o'clock to eat supper according to his usual habits. Now I happen to be on the night shift, and I'm ready to make up for the supper.

"Yes." Zhang Yunyi said lightly, still looking like he didn't care about anything except professional things.

"Alright, just this campfire, let's bake something to eat." Zeng Rong turned around and went to get something, and soon came over with two legs of mutton.

It looks like you're going to be staying here for a few days, and the food and the like must be ready first.

The leg of lamb was just bought in the afternoon, and it was very fresh. Seeing Zeng Rong carrying two legs of mutton that weighed more than a dozen pounds together, Zhang Yun didn't say anything.

In the cave of Shuchuan Province, during the field investigation in Luoyang, Zhang Yunyi knew that this boy who had just entered college was very edible!

With experience in the wild, Zeng Rong roasted mutton and was very proficient. Wear the leg of lamb with a sharpened wooden stick, and cut the leg of lamb into multiple openings, and arrange it evenly. Put it on the campfire and turn it constantly, roast it, and then wipe the oil layer by layer with a brush from time to time.

I don't know if the vegetable oil that Zeng Rong smeared on it, or the mutton fat on the leg of mutton, kept falling into the wood burning on the bonfire, making a snorting sound from time to time. Slowly, the outside of the lamb turns brown, giving off a rich roast aroma.

Finally, it was smeared with salt, monosodium glutamate, and cumin specially purchased by Zeng Rong when he purchased it, and then put it in the fire and roasted it for a while, and the fragrance was even stronger!

"It smells so good!" Zhang Yun doesn't fake, incense is incense.

"Take it and eat it." Zeng Rong handed the leg of mutton to Zhang Yunyi.

"Just cut a little bit and give it to me, I definitely won't be able to eat so much, you eat a lot, you eat more." Zhang Yunyi still said lightly.

"Okay." took a plate, Zeng Rong cut the mutton weighing about a catty one by one, and put it in front of Zhang Yunyi.

"It's so fragrant, it tastes really good." Tasted a slice, Zhang Yunyi said.

"Hehe, I don't see who baked it." Zeng Rong said with a smile.

The bonfire burned very strongly, so the light was also very abundant, illuminating the distance. This light absolutely encompasses the entire ruins.

At three o'clock, it was the most sleepy time of the day, and Zeng Rong felt energetic when he had two legs of mutton.

"Look over there!" Zhang Yunyi said in a low voice, pointing with his hand.

Following the direction pointed out by Zhang Yun, you can see that there are several objects swaying there, there is no wind at the moment, and the swaying shadow is in the shape of a person.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zeng Rong's mouth, those people must be poachers.

In fact, Zeng Rong had noticed it a long time ago, but he was worried that Zhang Yunyi was afraid, so he didn't bother to say it.

"It's okay, it may be a few wild animals, wild boars, wild goats and the like, you know, this Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is so big, it's normal for a few wild animals to appear." Zeng Rong said lightly.

"Oh. I see. "Zhang Yunyi's sense of smell is absolutely outstanding, but his vision is far worse than Zeng Rong's.

"I scare the brutes." Zeng Rong stood up, picked up a stone casually, and threw it towards the place.

The stone weighs at least two or three pounds. The distance between the two sides was more than thirty meters, Zeng Rong's head was very accurate, and this stone just fell between those figures.

As the stone fell, the figures disappeared.

The group of people walked away, but Zeng Rong was a little worried in his heart, this group of people dared to appear at this time, proving that this relic was very attractive to them!

In other words, the price offered by those who bought the Dongba scriptures was very high, so high that they took risks and moved the idea of working against the political axe.

In this way, Zeng Rong didn't dare to guarantee that kind of temptation would not lure these people to dare to hurt people's lives.

"Hopefully, there won't be any major discoveries here, and they won't attract the attention of those forces." Zeng Rong thought to himself.

If a large number of ancient Dongba scriptures with a sense of qi were excavated here, then once this place became the focus of the eyes of the agents of the United States, Zeng Rong was really worried that relying on him and the two armed police soldiers could protect the safety of the entire archaeological team!

Not to mention anything else, even if there are two agents of that level who met in Luoyang, Zeng Rong will definitely not be able to deal with it!

In the two days of excavation, apart from a few utensils used by the Naxi people during sacrifices, there were really no more ancient Dongba scriptures in the ruins.

This put Zeng Rong at ease. When Zeng Rong was even more reassured, Zeng Rong had been constantly turning around the ruins in the past few days, and Zeng Rong couldn't feel the existence of a qi machine.

According to this, Zeng Rong can confirm that there will no longer be that kind of ancient Dongba scripture with a sense of qi on this ruin.

At the end of the archaeological excavation, several volumes of ancient Dongba scriptures were finally unearthed, which were wrapped in oiled paper, which was placed in a wooden box, and even after hundreds of years, it still looked like new.

The Dongba scriptures are written on the Naxi people's unique Dongba paper, which is made of wood fibers, because after hundreds of years, it is now giving off a bronze color. In addition, the Dongba paper is long, and the Dongba script on it is similar to the style of the oracle bone inscription, which is written on the Dongba paper, and immediately a primitive, desolate feeling comes to the face.

Picking up this volume of scriptures, Zhang Yunyi sniffed it a few times, "**A hundred years of history." Zhang Yunyi said.

At this time, a breeze blew, and Zhang Yunyi's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Along the direction of the wind, Zhang Yunyi looked at the west, the west, not far from a mountain wall, Zhang Yunyi suddenly walked in the direction of the mountain wall, looking excited!
