Chapter 3: Is There Any Life Back?
"It took more than ten years for the cultural investigation team to only recover the golden seal of Empress Wude, and other cultural relics were not noticed, it is said that the cultural investigation team assisted the archaeological team to jointly excavate the tomb of Empress Wude to save cultural relics, but was robbed by tomb thieves, but the tomb robbers collapsed after the mausoleum collapsed and did not come out, because the tomb situation is complicated, in order to ensure the safety of reliable personnel, the excavation of the tomb of Empress Wude has been shelved, and it has been more than 20 years now."
"In August last year, another group of tomb robbers entered the tomb of Empress Wude, and afterwards the mausoleum collapsed again. Originally, the cultural investigation team thought that the tomb robbers had died in the tomb, so they did not announce the incident. But just a few days ago, Empress Wude's phoenix crown actually appeared at a foreign auction, and when Interpol arrived at the scene, the auction was over, and the golden phoenix crown did not know who it had fallen into. ”
Professor Meng sighed: "In order to save the cultural relics that may still exist in the tomb, the state has decided to excavate the tomb of Empress Wude, no matter how many resources are mobilized. ”
Therefore, it is said that it is good to conduct in-depth research on ancient tombs, but in fact, it is such a dangerous thing as digging up cultural relics in the tomb?
Tao Xiaoyao suddenly felt that he had been deceived by Chen Datou.
Although she majored in archaeology, she is only a sophomore now, and most of her classes are theoretical courses, and the most she does in school is to visit the sites where cultural relics have been unearthed, or go to museums to see exhibitions and listen to the exhibitors' explanations of cultural relics. But there has never been a real form of grave burial activity for students!
Hearing that the tomb of Empress Wude had collapsed so many times, many archaeological team members lowered their heads, although they had the heart to save cultural relics, but they did not have the courage to investigate the tomb.
"Isn't it just a few collapses? Look at you, one by one, you have been ruined so many times, and you are not as brave as the little girl sent by S University. ”
"Uh......" was obviously angry with Chen Tao before his expression was firm, but he was misunderstood by Professor Meng, and praised her as a role model, and Tao Xiaoyao was a little weak-hearted.
"Okay, let's go to Xinghua Hotel for dinner, it's a few hours drive from Xianyang to Chenma Village, everyone will go back to rest early after eating, and gather in the equipment room on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
-
Xinghua Hotel.
Some new members were added to the banquet, and at the same table with Professor Meng was a young man in a suit and leather shoes, Tao Yao came late, sat far away from the table, she was mildly short-sighted, and she could not see the man's appearance clearly without glasses.
To say that this dinner is also rich enough, the table gathered the representative dishes of the eight major cuisines from all over the country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a full banquet of Manchu and Han.
Tao Yaoyao looked at the food but didn't have much appetite, chewed slowly, and said to herself: "The national scientific expedition team is also a public department, isn't the country anti-corruption and corruption-proof?" How can you eat and drink at such extravagant public expense? Unless it's not a national expedition at all, but a ......"
She unconsciously looked at the man in the suit and leather shoes at the same table as Professor Meng, but she still couldn't see his face clearly, who was he?
In recent years, there have been many cases of tomb robbers blatantly digging graves under the guise of the national scientific expedition team, could it be that the man in the suit and leather shoes did not show up in the afternoon, but now he is sitting with Professor Meng, is he the behind-the-scenes investor of this expedition team?
But Professor Meng is one of the top archaeological experts and treasure connoisseurs in China, so he shouldn't do such a thing!
"What are you thinking about not eating such a sumptuous dinner?" At this time, a handsome man in casual clothes sat opposite Tao Yaoyao with a glass of red wine, "I don't have a good time tonight, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance after going to the tomb tomorrow." ”
Tao Yaoyao turned her head and poured herself a glass of red wine, clinking glasses with the man.
"You said we went down, do we have the life to come back?"
The man took a sip of wine and chuckled, "Aren't you brave this afternoon?" What, now know that scared? ”
"I'm just a little unwilling." Tao Yaoyao squinted and said as her cheeks began to redden.
"Why?"
"I still have a lot of things to do, some people owe me, if I don't get it back, I won't die blind, I'm afraid that there will be another ghost in the ancient tomb by then......" After speaking, he lay on the table and did not move.
The man quietly helped Tao Yao out of the restaurant.
