The military vehicle drove into a mountain col, and several mobile houses were built around it, many military tents were erected, and many soldiers were standing guard. When everyone got out of the car, they saw several excavation machines parked in the distance, and a large pit was dug in the ground.

A number of searchlights have been set up in the col to illuminate the surrounding environment. Gao Qin looked at the big pit and asked, "Teacher Xiao, how long have you been discovering here?" ”

Xiao Gang replied: "We only learned about this site half a month ago, and we just started excavation. ”

When Gao Qin saw the big pit, her strong curiosity was aroused, and she was about to walk over to see the ancient ruins, but Nanyang stopped her and said, "Miss Gao, please stay first." He continued: "It's late, it's not too late to start tomorrow, experts, please come with me, we'll have a meeting on this special operation first." ”

The group walked into a large room, which was neatly arranged with tables and chairs, and looked like a conference hall. Nanyang seemed to be a different person at this moment, with a serious expression and a very majestic expression. He said to the soldiers on the side, "What about Expert Zhou? ”

The soldier replied, "He studied it for a day at the entrance of the ancient ruins, and he is still there." ”

Nanyang said: "You go and inform him to come back, the expert group has arrived, and we have to have a meeting." The soldier saluted and took the order.

Gao Qin stared blankly at the door, as if thinking about something, Xu Ming asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong?" Gao Qin said: "Senior brother, this place is so remote and hidden, but it was found by this scholar surnamed Zhou, how did he find it?" ”

Xu Ming narrowed his eyes and said in a slightly mocking tone: "Hmph, how else can you find it, this barren mountain and wilderness, it is likely that he was lucky and happened to find here." ”

Gao Qin said thoughtfully: "To be able to go to such a difficult environment to conduct field archaeology, I think he should be a diligent archaeologist." ”

Xu Ming said: "Yes, too." However, the name Zhou De is too earthy, how can modern people still have such a name. ”

Gao Qin said to Xiao Gang, "Teacher Xiao, what kind of person do you think this Zhou scholar is?" What kind of knowledge is you good at? If he found out about this, does he have to join the expert group? ”

Xiao Gang smiled and said, "I think this Zhou scholar is a weird person, with a very strange temper and a mysterious identity. ”

Xu Ming said: "Teacher Xiao, why is his identity mysterious? ”

Xiao Gang said: "This ancient site was not something he came across by chance, he has been looking for this ancient site for more than 20 years. ”

When Gao Qin and Xu Ming heard this, they were both surprised: the scholar had been looking for this place for more than 20 years, which showed that he must have known about the existence of this ancient site before. Who is he? What is this ancient ruin? What happened in the past?

Xu Ming saw that the area was heavily guarded, and the excavation sites that he participated in were often protected by the military of various countries in the scientific expeditions of various countries around the world, usually because the excavated monuments were very precious and important. But he hadn't seen the shape of the pit yet, and he didn't know what the ancient ruins looked like, so he asked very modestly: "Mr. Xiao, is there anything special about this ancient ruins?" Since no one has entered yet, why is the army mobilized to guard it tightly? ”

Xiao Gang looked at Nanyang, then turned around and walked towards a metal safe and said, "When we were digging around, we found this. ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Gang, only to see him holding a golden device in both hands, Xiao Gang gently put it on the table, Gao Qin and Nanyang were stunned when they saw it: this is a pure gold statue of a boy, the boy raised his right hand, as if calling something, beautifully carved, lifelike. The workmanship of this boy's golden carving is exquisite, and the clothes on the boy's body are delicately decorated, and they are inlaid with beautiful jade, which shines brightly in the conference hall.

Gao Qin and Xu Ming looked at this boy golden eagle, and they were immediately fascinated, Gao Qin asked Xiao Gang: "Teacher Xiao, can I take a look?" Xiao Gang nodded, Gao Qin took out a pair of special gloves, put them on his hands, gently picked up the golden eagle, and immediately felt its weight. Gao Qin looked at the golden eagle carefully, and studied it with Xu Ming for a while, before he reluctantly put it down, he really couldn't put it down.

Nanyang saw that Qin Ruobing and Xu Ming had finished observing, and said, "Miss Gao, Mr. Xu, what do you two think of this cultural relic?" ”

Gao Qin said: "Mr. Nanyang, the style of this gold sculpture is close to the Han Dynasty, and it should be a work of the Han Dynasty, but I still don't know the specific name, author, and purpose. I have never seen this artifact in ancient documents. Mr. Xiao, what do you think? ”

Xiao Gang smiled and said: "Actually, I am the same as you, I have never seen such a golden eagle before, after discovering this cultural relic, I checked a lot of information, but I did not find any clues." It's already good that you two can be sure that it's Han Dynasty style in a few glances. Xiao Gang took out another golden gold medal from the safe.

Xu Ming now understands that there are so many national treasure-level cultural relics outside this ancient ruins, and there must be an army to guard them.

"Nonsense! How can people touch cultural relics?! You're going to mess around! Alas! Suddenly, a person at the door complained angrily and loudly: "Are these cultural relics just for anyone to see?!" ”

When everyone heard the voice, they saw an old man walking in at the door: this old man was nearly seventy years old, with disheveled white hair, red eyes, wrinkles and scars on his face, and old skin. He was dark-skinned, slumped, and looked weather-beaten. The old man was even more pitiful, dressed in dirty and shabby gray clothes, with a lot of patches sewn, and a pair of torn rubber shoes under his feet.

The old man walked up to Xiao Gang and said angrily: "Director Xiao, you can mess around, what else can you do?!" Who can touch this artifact? ”

Although the old man's tone was tough and a little extreme, Xiao Gang was scolded by the old man for no reason, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, don't be angry, let me make an introduction, these three are all experts." ”

Nanyang said: "Master Zhou, the three of them are members of the expert group, so they are allowed to see these cultural relics. ”

When the old man heard this, he was stunned, trembling with anger, pointed to Nanyang, and said excitedly: "Nonsense!" It's nonsense! Such a person is also called an expert? What are you looking for these people?! I knew it would be like this, I should have done it myself, not with you! What am I looking for from you?! ”

When everyone saw the old man having such a seizure, they didn't want to sneer at each other, because they found that the old man's eyes were full of sadness and anger, and there was obviously something hidden. Gao Qin guessed that this person should be De, this old man was indeed a strange person, and his temper was so short-tempered.

Xiao Gang smiled and said: "Master Zhou, you dissipate your anger, let me introduce you, this lady is Gao Qin, a very famous explorer and archaeologist today, this is Xu Ming, a first-class ......."

The old man didn't wait for Xiao Gang to finish speaking, and said, "What can these children do? Who can be an 'expert' now? Don't mess around, don't waste my time! ”

Xu Ming saw that this old man was dressed like a scholar, and sneered, "Are you an expert?" Forgive me for being so ignorant, how come I've never heard of your name? ”

When the old man heard this, he looked very excited.
