Chapter 823: Hidden Tomb? (Happy Chinese New Year)
"This?"
"Why are there no bones?"
After scooping out all the mercury in the mezzanine, Professor Meng immediately arranged for someone to open the sarcophagus in the inner layer, but strangely, there was no bone of the tomb owner inside, but a jade chessboard, more precisely, a part of the chessboard.
"Strange."
Everyone put on gloves and carefully searched the entire sarcophagus inside and out, but still found nothing.
"Let's do this here on the sarcophagus, Xiao Ren, first seal this chessboard, keep it safe, and then immediately sort out and record the other cultural relics in this tomb." Seeing that he didn't find it, Professor Meng said.
"Yes."
……
"Professor, this is a list of the first artifacts we cleaned up." Dr. Ren handed a folder to Professor Meng.
"Hmm." took the folder and looked at it, and asked casually, "Xiao Ren, did you find anything?" About the identity of the owner of the tomb. ”
Dr. Ren shook his head: "No, the situation of this tomb is very similar to the situation of the Qiyuan Tomb before, and the things in it are all from different eras, but in the Qiyuan Tomb, we can also find some relevant records and materials about Qiyuan, but in this tomb, we have not found any information about the owner of the tomb." ”
"Not at all?" Professor Meng looked at Dr. Ren in surprise and asked.
"Nope."
"Professor Meng, is this a common situation?" Huang Chong asked.
"Extremely rare." Professor Meng closed the folder in his hand and said, "I have been engaged in the archaeological industry for so many years, and I have never encountered such a situation!" ”
"Normally, the owner of the tomb will leave some clues about his identity in the tomb, whether it is cultural relics or information, this is also a custom, we have encountered the most situations before, that is, because of the destruction of tomb robbers, the identity of the tomb owner can not be determined, but like this situation now, the main tomb has not been destroyed, but there are no clues about the owner of the tomb, to be honest, I also encountered it for the first time."
"What about the time, what about the time of the funeral goods?" Huang Chong asked.
"At present, it can be concluded that the cultural relics are from the Qin Dynasty at the latest, and it can basically be concluded that this tomb should be a tomb in the Qin and Han dynasties, which is the same as the professor's previous judgment." Dr. Ren said.
"Professor Meng, can I help take a look at these artifacts?" Huang Chong said.
"Of course you can, if you don't say it, I will also ask you for help, you are an expert in this antique appraisal." Professor Meng said with a smile.
"Huh?" Huang Chong suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong? Is the person uncomfortable? Professor Meng asked.
"Oh, nothing, it's just weird." Huang Chong said with a smile.
"Strange, that's interesting." Professor Meng said.
"That's right." Huang Chong nodded.
Just now, Huang Chong suddenly had a feeling of being targeted, this is definitely not an illusion, someone must have been staring at him from a distance just now, Huang Chong's feeling will definitely not be wrong, and the other party has killing intent.
That feeling came from behind him, it should be five or six hundred meters away, if Huang Chong didn't guess wrong, it should be a sniper rifle, and the other party should have aimed a sniper rifle at the back of his head just now.
"It seems that someone is really coming, it seems that there may be big fish here, it's good to come, I'm afraid that you turtles with shrunken heads won't dare to come out."
"Brother Ren, I'll go to the bathroom first, and then I'll go over." Huang Chong said.
"Okay."
Huang Chong turned around, looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a black spot on the high ground in the distance, he had already gotten up and left, and he was still carrying something behind him, this person was obviously not from the archaeological team.
It's a pity that he is an ordinary person now, and he can't cultivate in this world, otherwise he has at least ten ways to let this guy stay, but it's a pity that now, Huang Chong can only watch him leave.
……
"How's it going, did you find anything?"
"I don't know if Professor Meng has noticed, the material of these jade figurines is exactly the same as the material of this chessboard." Huang Chong said.
"Are you sure?" Professor Meng asked, and at the same time asked Dr. Ren to bring the jade figurines and chessboards, although Professor Meng did not specialize in jade, but as an archaeologist, she had seen a lot of jade, and she was at least half an expert in jade.
"Really, you didn't say it, I really haven't found out, is this strange?" Professor Meng said.
"Strange? Teacher, what's so strange? Dr. Ren asked, puzzled.
"From the point of view of workmanship, it is obvious that the value of the jade figurines is much higher than that of the jade chessboard, since this is the case, why did the owner of the tomb put the jade chessboard in the sarcophagus instead of the jade figurines?" Professor Meng said.
"Does this mean that the chessboard has a special meaning for him?" Dr. Ren said.
"Since it has a special meaning, what about the bones? And from the situation of the tomb, it is not difficult to know that in fact, the totem of the eye has special significance to the owner of the tomb, and from this point of view, the jade figurines are also more suitable than the chessboard. ”
"What is the purpose of the tomb owner to seal the jade chessboard with mercury?"
"Also, the carving technique of the jade figurines is the same as the carving technique of the jade chessboard, you know, this totem of one eye has never appeared, so these jade figurines are most likely invited by the tomb owner or even carved by himself, which can also be verified from the totem carving on the sarcophagus, that is to say, the jade chessboard is most likely specially carved by the tomb owner, and then deliberately placed in the sarcophagus." Huang Chong said.
"Are you sure about the carving?" Professor Meng asked.
"I don't dare to say 100 percent, but I am 90 percent sure." Huang Chong said.
"This ......"
"Professor Meng, I suggest continuing testing, I suspect we haven't found the real main burial chamber." Huang Chong said.
"You mean, down there, there's a hidden burial chamber?" Professor Meng looked at Huang Chong and asked.
"Yes."
"Okay, Xiao Ren, without further ado, whether there is or not, we can't miss it, this tomb is too special, you immediately arrange for someone to do another survey."
"Good!" Dr. Ren thought it was unlikely, but he nodded.
……
"It seems that the mysterious man has not appeared here once or twice, and if not, he will come again." Huang Chong came to the hillside where the figure had been found before, and sure enough, he found footprints, and other footprints were found nearby.
"His purpose, isn't it?" Huang Chong was not sure in his heart.
During the day today, it may have been just the other party's sniper rifle sweeping over him, which he discovered, otherwise why didn't Huang Chong notice anything abnormal before.
"Even the guns are dispatched, it seems that the other party is bound to get something in the tomb, if there is really a hidden tomb, the other party will definitely take action next, I will prepare a big meal for you, I hope you like it."
