Last time, when a sudden gust of wind blew, Wu Haode's teeth shivered coldly, and for a while, his teeth also "gurgled" and played a chorus.

Seeing that his lips were blue and his face was white, Colonel Zhang hurriedly beckoned someone to bring a military coat for Wu Haode to put on. It was also at this time that people suddenly felt as if the temperature around them was suddenly dropping.

Gu Zhenting noticed something strange at this time. He immediately became vigilant, many years of archaeological experience had made him experience a lot of risks, where there was something abnormal, there must be something different, this is the experience he summed up. The temperature has only started to decrease since the faint musky smell appeared, and it has become more and more strange here.

"Except for A Wei and a few necessary people, everyone else will quit." Gu Zhenting said calmly, "There are not so many people needed now. In fact, this kind of strange scene, many archaeologists have not had much chance to see in their lives, they are both excited and nervous in their hearts, no one wants to miss this scene, and they want to know what is the cause of this blood pool. So after he finished speaking, no one was willing to move his feet.

"Quick!" Gu Zhenting made a face. Gu Zhenting, who is usually a very serious person, has a straight face at the moment, and his attitude is so resolute, everyone has no choice but to pick up the rain gear and walk out when they see this. At this moment, the four experts that Gu Zhenting needed also ran into here quickly, followed by four A guards with neat steps.

As soon as these four experts heard the emergency call, they knew that there must be tricky work. Just because you don't need you doesn't mean that you don't matter, everyone understands the truth that good steel is used on the blade, so after being woken up in the middle of the night, they realized that after being idle for so many days, it finally came in handy.

Sure enough, as soon as I came in, I saw that this No. 7 pit, which is usually never open to visitors, was like a hell of Shura, and the scarlet and greasy blood water was rolling in the pit, and this shock was no less than the oil pot in the legendary Hades Palace. And the strange musky smell that permeates the air makes people feel inexplicably depressed.

Several experts had different degrees of shocked expressions on their faces, but Liu Wensheng, a feng shui master, said "Huh", frowned, looked around again, and said nothing.

"This, what's going on? Who put a pool of blood here?! Biologist Li Maocai asked Gu Zhenting in surprise. He usually has a little friendship with Gu Zhenting, so he asked Gu Zhenting directly.

"I was about to ask you about this." Gu Zhenting couldn't see a trace of expression on his face, although he was worried about it at this time. "Everyone, answer this question from your own professional point of view, Xiao Wu, you can tell a few people what happened tonight. Gu Zhenting came in a hurry, and he didn't know much about it, and when he arrived, everyone surrounded him, and he didn't have a chance to ask Wu Haode what happened specifically.

"Yes, Professor." Wu Haode swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened his throat, straightened out his messy thoughts and began to speak.

It turned out that since more than a dozen bronzes that had been excavated in the No. 7 pit during the day had exceeded the scope of the Yin Shang civilization, the archaeologists were shocked and extremely excited, and this kind of discovery that subverted traditional thinking made them excited. And Gu Zhenting, who saw this scene, was even more happy in his heart, this peculiar discovery is not in this batch of bronze castings with the source system of Bashu Sanxingdui, which will bring much sensation in the archaeological community, but a bigger secret hidden behind it. Gu Zhenting could almost tell that there was probably a bigger surprise buried under this pile of bronzes.

From the discovery of the first bronze mask at 10:15 in the morning, to about 6:30 in the afternoon, the thirteen beautiful huge bronzes have all been cleaned and recorded, and they have been transported out of the No. 7 pit and sent to a specific warehouse for numbering and preservation for study.

This batch of bronzes is very well preserved, not only is there no missing, but also the rust is not serious, compared with the bronzes that have been deliberately destroyed on the Sanxingdui site, it is more precious. Pit 7 brought unprecedented surprises to archaeologists and unprecedented challenges. First of all, Pit 7 cannot be defined as a tomb. The simple reason is that no human bones or burial objects have been found. In other found pits from No. 1 to No. 6, a certain number of bones and burial goods have been unearthed, there are more than 600 pieces of tortoiseshell animal bones engraved with words alone, in addition to a large number of jade, shells and pottery, there are a lot of exquisite bronze ritual vessels, but it is completely different from the No. 7 pit, it is a bronze ritual vessel of the Yin Shang period of the Central Plains civilization at that time, similar to such cultural relics, have been unearthed in the archaeological excavations of Henan in the past, and it is not a particularly precious thing.

However, the ancient tombs in this place reveal incomprehensible mysteries everywhere. One of the biggest mysteries is that none of the ancient tombs excavated here have buried slaves.

On the ancient tomb sites of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the phenomenon of human martyrdom was very common, and the excavation of the bones of the buried slaves and livestock was a significant feature of this period. At that time, the Yin Shang Dynasty was very superstitious, and its ruling power was almost based on mysterious divine power. At that time, it was generally believed that the soul continued to live in the underworld after death, so the rulers would take the items used in life and bury them to achieve the purpose of continuing to enjoy the life in the underworld after death. However, among the six ancient tombs excavated so far, no bones other than the owner of the tomb have been found.

The scale of these ancient tombs almost belonged to the lords of the princely level, but there was not even a single martyred slave, which was unreasonable at the time. At that time, slaves, like livestock, were the wealth of slave owners, could it be that the tomb owners were misers during their lifetimes and were reluctant to use them for burial? Or is the consciousness of the tomb owners high and aware of the inhumanity of human martyrdom? But in any case, it was definitely a good thing for the slaves of these people at that time.

The second oddity is that these tombs are very dry. After digging six or seven meters, it has reached the excavation surface of the aquifer, but the soil quality is similar to that of two or three meters, and the soil is just wet. This phenomenon has also aroused the interest of archaeologists. Geologists have judged that the underground waterways here were originally very active, but the excavation of groundwater at such a depth is still not obvious, and it is obvious that this inference cannot be confirmed.

After cleaning up the cultural relics, Gu Zhenting immediately made a decision and asked the staff to continue to work and look for more clues. And Chen Wenming is also very sure that there should be unknown discoveries in the soil layer under this bronze. The undiminished enthusiasm of the staff immediately constructed, trying to find out more of what was valuable. But the shovel went several meters deep and found nothing, and there was no rammed earth layer or other useful information with it. But the staff's trust in Gu Zhenting and Chen Wenming was far greater than the soil brought by the Luoyang shovel, and their enthusiasm continued to work without diminishing. Gu Zhenting noticed that the soil brought up by the probe shovel was only wet, indicating that it was still deep from the groundwater level.

The excavation continued, but Gu Zhenting couldn't bear it. He was over half a hundred years old, and although he had developed a strong physique from years of climbing mountains and mountains, the two weeks of excavation work that had been going on at high intensity made him feel very strained. The workers who excavated the soil had already changed three batches, and the archaeologists under his command had also changed their shifts one after another, and at about half past eleven in the evening, he finally couldn't hold on, so he had to let his assistant Wu Haode stay here and go back to the camp to rest for a while. Colonel Zhang, who is as strong as a lion, is still on duty outside the pit in high spirits, this school officer who has always maintained abundant physical strength, his vision is very sharp, and his attitude is even more meticulous, usually he rarely talks to anyone except Gu Zhenting. In fact, no one dared to provoke him with his fiery temper. And Chen Wenming, nicknamed "Magnet", had already gone back to the camp to sleep.
