Chapter 4 Archaeological Competition
Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but Shi Tao was attracted by these people from afar, because they are all aliens, and their levels are quite high!
"They are all members of the association......" Bei Lihua was just about to introduce, when the thinnest and tallest of the four stood up and introduced himself: "My name is He Rihua, nicknamed Lao Dao, and a five-star xenohunter of the association." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I heard that you won't get hurt? ”
Shi Tao saw the taste of provocation in the eyes of the old knife, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I don't know, because I haven't been injured." ”
The old knife's eyes narrowed, and he was about to step forward, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him. Shi Tao saw that it was a young man in his twenties, about the same height as Shi Tao, but he looked much thinner, with a baby face and a cute pot lid.
The young man stepped forward: "Under Jiang Yize, a five-star hunter of the association. As he spoke, he pointed to the other two people beside him, one of whom was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and the other was a gray-haired old woman. These two are Zhang Yue and Granny Qian, and they are also five-star hunters of the association. I have heard the name of Mr. Shi for a long time, and I have the honor to carry out the mission together today, and I hope that my predecessors will give me more advice! ”
This Jiang Yize's words were decent and his attitude was humble, but Shi Tao read a sense of confidence from his gestures. Coupled with the strong aura of abilities on him, this is definitely a powerful character.
"Oh yes!" Shi Tao laughed: "I've just lived a few more years, if you don't know anything, just ask, I will answer patiently!" He also went up the stairs, and directly raised himself with the compliment from the opposite side. This made Jiang Yize a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi is really a casual person!" ”
Everyone knew each other, and Bei Lihua beckoned everyone to board the plane, at this time, the young man who had broken his waist before ran back, this time he learned to be obedient, not only called a helper, but also pushed a flatbed cart to help Shi Tao carry the heavy luggage onto the plane.
Everything was ready to stop, and the plane slowly moved off the runway. This is the association's special plane, which is equipped with a variety of entertainment and leisure facilities, the space is large enough, and this time there are only more than 20 staff members, it is very spacious, everyone finds a place to rest, recuperate, and prepare for the next action.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bie Lihua found Shi Tao and Yin Shuang.
"You finally decided to participate in this operation, so you still don't know a lot of details, while you are on the road, I will explain to you the specific purpose of this operation!"
"Purpose?" Yin Shuangqi said: "Isn't it just to help scholars excavate ancient tombs? ”
"It's not that simple!" Bei Lihua shook his head and said, "Because this time the ancient tomb is not completely sure that it is Qiyi Cemetery!" ”
"What do you mean?" Yin Shuang was taken aback: "Haven't you already excavated it?" ”
Bei Lihua sighed: "The excavation is an excavation, but what is found is only a Wei Ling...... Oh, the so-called Weiling ......"
"It's a small mausoleum near the main mausoleum, where the confidants of the owner of the tomb are buried!" Shi Tao interrupted: "This is a unique burial custom in the Qi Kingdom, generally when high-ranking officials and nobles build mausoleums, they will build a second-level mausoleum near the cemetery and keep it for their most trusted people. This person is often not a wife and a concubine, and cannot be buried together, so after death, he is buried near the master, and he will always be with him. ”
"That's right!" Bei Lihua nodded, and looked at Shi Tao with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to be very interested in the history of the Warring States Period!" ”
Yin Shuang on the side was puzzled: "Could it be that in that Wei Mausoleum, it is Qi Yigong's henchmen and close servants who are buried?" ”
"No......" Bei Lihua shook his head: "The coffin of the Weiling Tomb is empty. ”
Yin Shuang said strangely: "Then how can you be sure that it is Qi Yigong's Wei Ling?" ”
Bei Lihua explained: "Because the specifications of this Wei Mausoleum are obviously monarch-level, and the tombs of the monarchs of the Qi Kingdom have been determined, but Qi Yigong's has not been found yet." Therefore, although the location of the main mausoleum has not yet been determined, this mausoleum, nine times out of ten, it is Qi Yigong's! ”
"So let's say so...... As long as we lock the scope and find the main tomb, wouldn't it be good? Yin Shuang said: "Although it is a little slower, but with an experienced expert like Professor Zhao, I will definitely be able to find it!" ”
"It's not that simple...... Bei Lihua shook his head, took a map and spread it on the table, on which a location was prominently marked with a red pen. Bei Lihua pointed to that place and said: "We are still facing a serious problem now, the location of the Wei Tomb is on the border between Huaxia and the Rakshasa Kingdom, in other words, the location of the main tomb may be in the territory of Huaxia or in the territory of the Rakshasa Country!" ”
Yin Shuang frowned and said: "But it has been determined that it is a mausoleum in Huaxia, even if it is in another country, it should belong to our country!" ”
"When we say that, the Rakshasa Kingdom may not think so...... Bei Lihua sighed: "After all, thousands of years ago, the Rakshasa Kingdom was also deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and the architectural style and writing were the same as those of China, and it was not until the Western Renaissance that the cultural style turned to Yuluozhou. If the main tomb is found in Huaxia, it will be fine, but if it is in the territory of Rakshasa, it will be troublesome. ”
"Then they can't take it by force!" Yin Shuang said excitedly.
Shi Tao smiled: "The Rakshasa people don't want to reason with you, with their style of acting, they will definitely block the mausoleum first, no matter how you condemn it, you can't get in, even if Huaxia finally comes up with evidence to determine the true ownership of the mausoleum, but after this series of processes is over, the treasures inside have already been emptied, and when the time comes, you can't help them!" ”
Bei Lihua raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I can't see that you also have such a unique view on international affairs!" ”
"It's not unique!" Shi Tao waved his hand: "The Rakshasa people have been like this since ancient times, I have seen a lot." ”
"That can't be unreasonable!" Yin Shuang said angrily: "So, there is half a chance that our cultural heritage will be given away?" ”
Bei Lihua smiled: "You are so unconvinced, how can the Huaxia government be willing?" The discovery of this Weiling was a few months ago, and it has been kept secret during this period, because the governments of the two countries are negotiating on this and finally finalizing a plan! ”
As he spoke, Bei Lihua clicked on the zero position on the map: "With Weiling as the center, draw a circle with a radius of fifty kilometers, and this area is temporarily designated as a free exploration area." Huaxia and Rakshasa each sent an archaeological team to search for it, and whoever found the mausoleum first would be given priority to research, no matter which side the location was! ”
"I see!" Shi Tao said with a smile: "Then let's just send tens of thousands of people in to find it, I heard that now Huaxia is the most populous country in the world, and it is impossible for them to beat us than manpower!" ”
"Since it's an agreement, how can you do it!" Bei Lihua said angrily: "What's more, there are villages and a lot of natural resources near this area, and neither country will allow a large number of people to enter to do destructive searches, and the size of the archaeological team is limited!" ”
Yin Shuang nodded when he heard this: "Therefore, our task this time is quite arduous, not only to find the main tomb, but also to get ahead of the Rakshasa people!" That's why so many five-star hunters from the Interrium Association were mobilized! ”
Bei Lihua nodded and said, "That's right, we have to fully cooperate with Professor Zhao and their actions this time to survey the location of the main mausoleum as quickly as possible!" This is a major event related to the interests of the country and the reputation of the Huaxia Branch! ”
Yin Shuang's blood boiled when he heard this, and his heart was already full of energy, but at this time, Shi Tao poured cold water at an inopportune time: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to win!" ”
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his head, drooped his eyelids and said: "Then if it is really the mausoleum of Qi Yigong, then it must be that we Huaxia know better, this kind of comparison with the Rakshasa Kingdom is not advantageous, and it is not as cost-effective as half of the probability of Bo." Since they agreed, they must be sure of victory, and it is this wave of blackness! ”
Hearing this, Bei Lihua nodded approvingly: "The president said the same thing as you, the Rakshasa Kingdom must have some hole cards, so, in order to turn the tables ......"
"In order to turn the tables, he asked you to come to me? Right? Shi Tao closed his eyes, and the old god said: "Even if he is not old man Yin, don't worry, with me, this matter is fine!" ”
"Just blow it!" Yin Shuang snorted, looked at the map, and frowned again: "But then again, the Qi State should be in Ludi, why did Qi Yigong set up the mausoleum in the northwest thousands of kilometers away?"
"I have also consulted Professor Zhao about this question......" Bei Lihua said: "According to him, although Qi Yigong is eloquent, but his personality is perverse, there was a plane for his journey to the west in history, it may be that at that time, he took a fancy to the local scenery, so he chose the mausoleum site......"
"It's really casual...... Yin Shuang complained.
There is a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers from Tiandu to the ancient tomb site on the Hualuo border, but the full speed of the association's special plane far exceeds the speed of sound, and it only took more than two hours to reach its destination.
The site of the tomb is sparsely populated, with a dry climate and complex terrain, with only a few small villages and a county town nearby, and the nearest airport in a large city hundreds of kilometers away. If it's a regular flight, I'm afraid it will take a day's car to get here. The association's mission plane has the function of vertical take-off and landing, and lands directly at the agreed location.
At this time, the target area has been jointly sealed off by the soldiers of Huaxia and Rakshasa countries, and there is also the assistance of the Alien Warrior Association, and not even a rabbit is allowed to enter. This is not a metaphor, after all, this archaeological race, Shuangfang must have used capable people, and any strange abilities may appear, not to mention rabbits, even mosquitoes may be the ability of strangers!
"It's already there, when will it start?" Yin Shuang looked at the heavily guarded search area, and was a little eager to try.
"There is no specific time...... Bei Lihua said: "When both sides confirm their arrival, the army can be withdrawn, and now I haven't received a notice, it should be that the Rakshasa country is not ready!" ”
"It's okay...... Professor Zhao Jingyuan said with a smile: "We can collect information from the periphery first!" Archaeology is not just about probing back and forth with instruments, asking local villagers, and learning about some customs and legends is also very helpful! Let's start preparing for this time! ”
Therefore, the archaeological team of Huaxia gathered some locals from the local county town as guides and laborers, expanded the team as much as possible on the premise that the scale did not exceed the standard, and began to investigate in the periphery of the area.
