Chapter 22: Farewell

"Ling Qi is here, come and see, there is a new discovery in the instrument measurement, this place was still fine when we left last time, and it collapsed two centimeters last night......"

Ling Qi stepped forward to follow, "How do you know that it has collapsed in, is there still one of our people inside who has not come out?"

"It's Xiao Wu, I went in again at noon yesterday, there was a slight vibration at that time, and I can't be sure whether it was caused by nearby construction or a microearthquake that the instrument couldn't measure, so I urgently called us back and went in to explore and explore. ”

"Found the cause of the collapse?"

"The instrument can't detect it, and the construction team's work can't be stopped, and the reason is not easy to find. Originally, it was said that he could not enter the tomb again before the year, but he could ...... Isn't that worrying about your superiors......"

Zhu Youzhu followed behind the crowd and watched, and on the drawings densely marked with numbers, a gray square tomb was very conspicuous. The data on the display next to it is changing, and there are small changes between the height fluctuations, which are the centimeters measured by the instrument. Zhu Youzhu glanced at it and went to the corner to find Li Shanlong, and said, "Are you sure that the ground has collapsed by two centimeters, could it be that the tomb has risen by two centimeters." ”

Li Shanlong glanced at the young man: "I can't say for sure, no one can say if I didn't go to the scene." Zhu Youji, if you want to follow, you can go, you have to obey orders. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded: "I know." ”

Li Shanlong was not verbose, "Then as a temporary player, go and change the team uniform first, Xiaoqi, find him a body of clothes to change into." Ling Qi, Xiao Wu, Feng Chime, Zhihui, Taicheng, you go and prepare, set off at nine o'clock. Xiaoqi stayed to monitor. ”

Everyone scattered to prepare, and Zhu Youzhu followed Xiaoqi to get clothes and backpacks. At nine o'clock, a team of professional archaeological brigades in City B, led by Li Shanlong, set off for Tailing. Tailing was built in Shitai, as early as the Kangxi period was patronized by tomb robbers, and then was closely protected by the state, after the tomb robbers, Tailing only left a small part of the cultural relics, gold, silver and jade are mostly lost. The newly discovered large-eared chamber next to the tomb was not discovered by the tomb robbers at that time, and Li Shanlong's team accidentally found this place and reported it to their superiors, so their team still carried out the excavation work.

All the burial chambers have one thing in common, they are dark and ghostly and damp, and there is very little oxygen in the burial chambers, so each person carries an oxygen cylinder on their backs. At the entrance was a square brick buried by a bush of wild grass, and Li Shanlong instructed: "Safety first, don't say much about the rest." Then he looked at Zhu Youji, who nodded to indicate that he knew, and followed Ling Qi down. The light of the flashlight can shoot far away, Zhu Youzhi raised the flashlight to look at the wall, the cyan bricks are tightly stacked together, the smooth surface is not mottled with moss, and it is cold to the touch.

After passing through the dark and narrow corridor, the line of sight was a little wider, and Ling Qi leaned into Zhu Youji's ear and whispered: "It's only a short and half of the way, it's cold and dark inside, and the road is still very slippery, you should be careful." ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded and said that he knew, he had never seen such a corridor, and the palace craftsmen would not have thought of such a design, because such a narrow and narrow corridor did not conform to the royal family's consistent style. The emperors of the previous dynasty had never had such an ear chamber, Shan Tailing had such a place, why on earth Zhu Youzhu tapped lightly on the wall, there was no sound, if Ling Qi hadn't come over to speak just now, he was afraid that he would not have heard what Ling Qi said.

After a five-minute break, Li Shanlong waved his hand and signaled everyone to start moving forward. Walking inside, it began to get cold, dark and cold to the bones, and after walking for a while, breathing began to become difficult, Li Shanlong stopped gesticulating, everyone put on oxygen masks, Zhu Youzhu learned from Ling Qi's appearance, and felt that his breathing was smoother. After walking for another half an hour, the sticky feeling under his feet disappeared, and everyone's flashlights shot straight ahead, and there was no end in sight to the dark road ahead. After resting for another five minutes, Zhu Youzhu raised his feet to leave, only to feel that the bricks under his feet trembled slightly, but the wall on the side was still, and everyone was shocked, thinking that the earthquake was coming, and they did not dare to move in place. Li Shanlong glanced at the dark front and waved his hand to signal everyone to wait.

The shaking did not stop, the tremor became stronger and stronger, no one dared to take another step forward, ten minutes later, the shaking seemed to have a tendency to strengthen, Li Shanlong waved his hand again, signaling everyone to retreat quickly, this line of seven people, can not all be used to take risks, if the vibration strengthens the tomb collapses, they will all die here.

Zhu Youzhu pulled Li Shanlong, who was walking back, and gestured, "Don't get in the way, don't retreat." He motioned for Li Shanlong to look at the wall.

Li Shanlong urged everyone to evacuate quickly, and pulled Zhu Youzhu to squat down and look at the ground, the brick illuminated by the flashlight was shaking violently, and the tremor could be clearly felt when his hand was placed on it.

"The ground is moving up," Li Shanlong said, but the voice in the oxygen mask couldn't be heard, and Zhu Youzhu couldn't hear what he was saying. Zhu Youzhu didn't want to leave like this, but as the captain, Li Shanlong couldn't gamble with the lives of the group, so he still pulled Zhu Youzhu back.

Zhu Youzhu looked back at the dark road in front of him, and faintly felt that there was an invisible force inside.

The caution when they entered, the haste when they came out, and it was exactly twelve o'clock in the middle of the day when everyone stepped out of the stone slab.

"Is it still shaking now, what was the tremor just now, is it an earthquake, call Xiaoqi quickly. ”

"This place is really weird, Captain, I'm afraid we won't be able to go in again today. ”

"Stand by and contact Xiaoqi to ask what's going on. ”

Ling Qi called, and Xiao Qi over there said, "...... At 11:12 a.m., the instruments installed in the tomb detected that the ground had collapsed by another centimeter......"

"Collapse?" Li Shanlong looked at Zhu Youzhu thoughtfully and said, "Did we feel the rise of the ground at that time?"

Zhu Youzhu nodded: "It's the entire tomb that has risen, not the ground that has collapsed." ”

"This is even more strange, how can a good burial chamber go up, it has risen by three centimeters in half a month......"

Why the tomb rises, no one knows this question, Xiao Qi, who is in charge of the observation of the institute, is even more confused, the originally good image suddenly began to blur, and the tomb after the clarity has not changed at all, if it is not supported by data, the one centimeter can not be seen at all.

Everyone gathered around to discuss, and Zhu Youzhu looked around the exit alone. Taeling had been visited by tomb robbers earlier, and no one knew what the tomb robbers had taken, so it was also questionable what kind of burial goods were in Taeling. As for the snow map, it is impossible to know if the tomb robbers later found a fake and put it in. Zhu Youzhu wanted to know, he was not dead, who was the male corpse in Tailing, who was the male corpse in the ear chamber, and what was the power that inexplicably summoned him?

"I can't go in any more today, let's go back and ask my superiors for instructions before deciding. ”

Everyone packed their backpacks and walked back, Zhu Youzhu couldn't see anything famous, and followed in the car. After returning to the research institute, the team members had another meeting, Dean Qi called and asked Zhu Zhen to go to his office, Ling Qi was puzzled: "Ah Ji, you still have a name called Zhu Zhen?"

"Call it whatever you want. Zhu Youzhu said lightly, put down his equipment and went out.

Dean Qi was waiting for him and said, "...... The test report came out, the snow map was indeed not painted by Xiaozong himself, and now it is determined, it is not good to put it in the museum, your ten blood drops are genuine in the Ming Dynasty, the superior has given instructions, you can take the snow map away, take time to go to the museum to sign it. ”

Zhu Youzhu was a little surprised, "So fast?"

"Professor Zhan urged, he also helped you apply for compensation, and the state rewarded you with 100,000 yuan, and it will also hit your card. ”

"Got it. "It's good to get the snow map, it doesn't matter if you have money or not. Zhu Youzhu asked for Zhan Lao's phone number, and called Zhan Lao after going out, Zhan Lao over there heard Zhu Zhen's voice, and a loud voice came: "Zhu Zhen, are you here in City B?"

"It's coming. Dean Qi said I could go and get something autographed. ”

"Have you seen Dean Qi, when will you come over, I will also go and see. ”

"Now. ”

"Okay, you go to the museum first and wait, I'll tell Director Dong. ”

“...... Thank you. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Youzhu went straight to the museum. The snow map was long gone in the exhibition hall, replaced by a drop of blood. When Zhu Youzhu went to the second floor to find Dong Shouyao, Director Dong had just hung up the phone, "Zhu Zhen, you arrived so soon." Professor Zhan just called me, you sit down for a while, and then you can go through the formalities when everyone arrives. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, sat on the sofa and flipped out his mobile phone to read the previous reports on Tailing. Dong Shouyao was a little curious: "Zhu Zhen, can you tell me, why do you want that painting so much, what do you want it for?"

Zhu Youzhu raised his head and replied: "I just like it, the curator is too worried." ”

"Oh, I just like it, but you can't regret it after you sign it, whether it's true or not, you can't get your beads back. ”

"Yes. Zhu Youzhu flipped through the page of his mobile phone and asked, "Is there only that snow map about Xiaozong in the museum?"

"There are also some handwritten notes of Xiaozong, just looking at those handwritings, experts speculate that the painting that appeared in Tailing was painted by Xiaozong. You also know that Taeling has been stolen, but unfortunately so many cultural relics have been sold abroad, and we still don't know what they are. That is, your drops of blood...... , Zhu Zhen, did your ancestors buy those things from tomb robbers?" Dong Shouyao thought of this stubble, and felt that it was even more possible, and asked tentatively: "Is your ancestor very rich, when these things are placed, they are all sky-high." ”

The few remaining photos in the mobile phone could not give Zhu Youzhi any useful information, Zhu Youzhu turned a few pages and stopped reading, "Director Dong, what do you want to say, just say it." ”

Dong Shouyao was a cunning old fox, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "What good things do you have in your ancestors, isn't it a good thing to donate to the country, and if you hide it privately, it is easy to attract trouble." ”

"I have my own plans. Zhu Youzhu replied lightly, Dong Shouyao was choked, and sat at the table with some dissatisfaction and flipped through the documents, ignoring the man again. After a while, people came one after another, some carrying boxes, some holding painting scrolls, and finally Zhan Lao came in on crutches, and when he saw Zhu Youji, his face was full of praise: "Zhu Zhen, you are still going to Tailing today, good boy, I will say what kind of actor you are, isn't it good to enter the research institute, haha." ”
