Professor Chen closed the eyes of the archaeological team member who had suffered an accident with a trembling hand, then stood up and asked sadly, "Why is this happening?" What just happened? ”

Feng Weiguo embarrassedly pointed to the box that fell on the wooden cart and said, "When the two of them were moving this box just now, they didn't know where they shot something, and they hit him directly." ”

"The jewels in the tomb are not so active, this main burial chamber in the general's tomb told you privately, this is not at all vigilant, do you need to repeat these every day?"

Feng Weiguo blushed like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head and whispered, "Everyone was excited just now, ignoring this." ”

Professor Wang saw that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense and embarrassing in this cold space, so he said in a round on the side: "The comrades in the local area have seen very little, how can they understand this, these organs hidden on the box are indeed difficult to guard against. ”

Seeing that Professor Wang brought the topic to the technical direction, Professor Chen also felt that he was a little out of shape, so he pointed to the small gold wire and hook left on the second box and said: "The first layer of the box itself is not dangerous, the real danger is often hidden in the combination of the two boxes, as long as you don't pay attention when you move the box, it will definitely trigger the hidden machine crossbow, such a mechanism is mainly used to damage the abdomen and waist, and now he is just below, and the position is so coincidental, Even if it is a little more biased, it may not have such serious consequences, this is also common sense, and now that such a thing happens, how can you explain to other people's families? ”

"Now that it's happened, let's make a report to the above, calamity, it's not within our reach."

"That's how to pass the buck! Dead people have nothing to do with us? You know, people came down with us old men, and they came down because they trusted us! But what have we done for them? The more Professor Chen spoke, the more excited he became, and after saying this, he calmed down and continued: "Let's put these boxes down first, so that no one will trigger the mechanism again." ”

"And what about this corpse?"

"Let's put it there for now, and after the meeting finishes reporting here, let the hospital come and pull it away first."

After the sudden change just now, all the local archaeologists no longer dared to approach the onlookers, and all of them hid far away in front of the martyrdom, for fear of flying out of the box again.

Seeing that everyone was safe, Professor Chen slowly took out all the jewels in the box below and put them aside. After making sure that there was no one in the direction of the two handles of the box again, he slowly lifted the box slightly, and Professor Wang, who had been waiting on the side, bent down and saw the same gold wire and crossbow under the box from the gap, and quickly reached in with a knife and carefully picked off the hook hooked to the crossbow at the bottom of the second box. After picking off the hook, Professor Chen flipped the box 90 degrees and gently placed it on the ground, and in this way, the mechanism was displayed in front of everyone.

At the beckoning of Professor Chen, the comrades of the local archaeology gathered around one by one and looked carefully at this hurtful organ. In fact, this crossbow is not big, when it is opened, it is more than 20 centimeters of stroke, and it is firmly nailed to the bottom of the box, the arrow of this crossbow looks extraordinary, not ordinary bamboo or metal, and the arrow of about 2 centimeters looks like black charcoal, quietly stuck in the slot, through the small dark hole at the bottom of the box, ready to shoot out at any time. Professor Chen went to the bowstring, picked up the arrow, sniffed it, broke it, and then raised the arrow and said to the crowd: "This arrow is made of fish bone, which is very sharp, and at the same time, it has also been soaked in special venom, and you can see blood seal the throat." ”

After dismantling all the mechanisms on the boxes, Professor Chen faced the remains of his teammates who had been killed and said: "The road of archaeology has always been accompanied by yin and yang, life and death are one step away, unfortunately you encountered an accident before us, one step ahead of us, your departure has uncovered the scar for us, this is the hidden pain in the hearts of our archaeologists, and you have also sounded the alarm for our profession again!" In my archaeological career, you are not the first teammate to leave in this way, and you will not be the last, but every teammate who falls on the way to archaeology is our pride, and it is also an honor for us archaeologists. Here, on behalf of the archaeological team, I would like to thank you for the sacrifices you have made for the team members around you, and thank you for dedicating your energy to our profession! After saying that, Professor Chen took off his coat and covered the head of the team member who was killed, and after bowing to the body, he took the lead and dragged the rope to the ice cave, and from there he went directly back to the temple.

When he arrived at the Hades Temple, Zhang Gong had already returned, and when he saw that Professor Chen's face was covered with blood, he immediately ran over and touched everywhere and asked, "Old Chen, where is it injured?" ”

Professor Chen ignored him, gently pushed Zhang Gong away, and then found a place to sit down without saying a word, and closed his eyes quietly. From his trembling lips, Zhang Gong knew that Professor Chen must be very excited in his heart at this moment, and his excitement would not be because of any major discoveries, and so many years of partner cooperation let him know that there must have been some major incident just now, so Professor Chen was excited in his heart and could not calm down.

Seeing Professor Chen like this, Professor Wang pulled Zhang Gong, who was stunned, to the side, and quietly told all the things that happened below.

Seeing that the atmosphere here was not right, Feng Weiguo ran outside the cave to report to Vice Mayor Zhao about the changes that had just happened, and after receiving a lot of criticism, the freshman team led by County Magistrate Liu came up in a mighty way. In everyone's surprised expressions, Professor Chen hurriedly ran to the side and scrubbed his face with water, and then went down to the ice cave with Feng Weiguo and his group. After seeing the martyrdom and the burial pit, the group of people returned to the shed below non-stop, where they did a detailed work exchange, and finally they designated a place to make the burial pit and cooperate.

Chen Zhijun didn't come for a day today, so he coordinated a technician from the headquarters by phone and asked him to take an excavator to level out the designated place first, and then dig a deep pit to prepare to bury the body as required.

After the old horse and the old horse bagged the corpses in the ice cave and put them into the deep pit, the cleaning of the burial pit was carried out step by step.

Watching the migrant workers work, Zhang Gong also reported to Professor Chen what the craftsmen found in the escape passage: two of the escape passages were abandoned halfway, probably because they missed the direction and gave up, and the other one could not enter from the outside, knocked on the mountain, and the sound was very muffled, indicating that there was a space behind.

After using a large number of buckets to mix the liquid and bones in the grave pit, the migrant workers were lifted to the tower crane in front of the tunnel, hoisted down through the tower crane, and then put it into the bucket of the forklift and poured it into the dug pit.

This continued until the third day, when the grave was finally cleared. At the same time as the cleaning was finished, a small black square box about 10 centimeters long and wide at the bottom attracted Zhang Gong's attention, and asked the old horse to help pick it up and clean it.
