Chapter 21: The Chamber of Secrets Opens

Professor Chen let Zhang Gong and a few of them look at the WeChat content sent by Zhijun, and in a wave of admiration, everyone immediately returned to the chessboard and re-tested according to the steps in WeChat.

Just as the chess piece that decided the draw was put down, there was a sudden slight shaking of the ground beneath his feet, and at the same time, there was a sound of chains and rumblings. The first reaction of everyone was to put the wrong chess piece to trigger the mechanism, the hole was about to collapse, and they instinctively ran out. But before they could reach the corridor, the temple was quiet again. After everyone steadied themselves and looked around, they were pleasantly surprised to find that a square stone cave about two meters wide and high suddenly appeared on the mountain in the east. Feng Weiguo, who was overjoyed, ignored the people around him, and immediately ran to the hole that had just appeared, and looked inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Gong and the others immediately rushed over and said to Feng Weiguo: "Don't die!" Don't you understand that you can't come here rashly at this time? Let's not say that this itself is not a threat, let's just say that the exhaust gas that has been sealed in here for so long can poison you! You're still the head of the museum! ”

Feng Weiguo blushed and said embarrassedly: "I'm so excited, I've already put those aside, pay attention next time." ”

"Attention, next time, next time it may be you who complain to Lord Yama about your wrongdoing!"

Professor Chen saw that Zhang Gong continued to count Feng Weiguo unrelentingly, and saw that the atmosphere became heavy, so he said peacefully: "Okay, Lao Zhang, Director Feng is a layman, although he understands history and cultural relics maintenance, but he is not an expert in archaeology, and excitement is inevitable, we all came here like this." After speaking, Professor Chen looked at the gravel under his feet, and then used a flashlight to shine it in, he didn't know if he didn't take it, and he was startled when he took a photo: there were several shelves and several cases inside, and they were full of slips.

Qin Gong walked to the entrance of the cave, took a few breaths lightly, and then said to the people behind him, "There is no problem, come in." ”

After Feng Weiguo had what happened just now, he said a little unconfidently: "I think it's better to slow down, and get the lights here first." ”

Professor Chen immediately agreed: "Agree with Director Feng's suggestion, let's take the lamp first." ”

The two electricians who were in charge of electrical support outside immediately came in under Feng Weiguo's telephone call, and extended the electricity from the terminal at the entrance of the Hades Temple to the entrance of the cave, and continued to extend it to the cave at the request of Zhang Gong. Under the light, Professor Chen put on white gloves, gently picked up a bamboo slip, looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, Professor Chen couldn't help but say: "Priceless treasure! ”

Feng Weiguo listened to Professor Chen's evaluation of the bamboo slip in front of him, and blurted out a question: "Priceless treasure?" ”

Professor Chen looked at everyone seriously and said in a deep tone: "Comrades, we never imagined that we could meet the military strategists and mathematicians of the Eastern Han Dynasty on such a mountainside. ”

Feng Weiguo also took out a white glove from his pocket and put it on, gently picked up a bamboo slip and looked at it, and said excitedly: "This is definitely a new discovery!" ”

Zhang Gong looked at it and said loudly: "This is a work that can make a sensation after military masterpieces such as "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "Taigong Liutao", etc., this guy is an integration of the essence of the previous masterpieces, and it should be his personal autobiography written through his actual experience in leading troops!" ”

After reading a few more articles, Professor Chen said with a solemn expression: "Go get the box, get a folding table, install the camera here, and immediately we will register and seal it under the camera!" ”

There was no objection, and everyone hurriedly mobilized everyone to carry out the box moving work. While waiting, the camera was quickly installed and debugged online.

After calling the camera of the TV station, everyone stared at Professor Chen without saying a word, waiting for his arrangement.

Professor Chen looked at everyone's eyes and already understood that this was asking him to give orders, so he commanded: "In this way, after I pick up the bamboo slips and spread them out, Lao Wang will take pictures, take pictures of the front and back of each bamboo slip and archive them, Qin Gong will be responsible for counting and making labels, Director Feng is responsible for registration, Zhang Gong, you are responsible for packing and sealing the box, and you drunkard Zhang, you can also help pack and seal the boxes." ”

Professor Chen walked to the folding table, looked at everyone was already in place, and began to gently open, spread, browse, and turn over one by one, after each action of Professor Chen settled, Professor Wang immediately took a photo, after the turning was completed, and then Qin Gong hung the label, and then let Professor Wang take a picture, handed over to Feng Weiguo for registration, after the registration was completed, the two old Zhang were packed and sealed.

In front of this assembly line, everyone worked for nearly an hour and a half to complete less than one-third of the workload. When they heard the shouts of opening the meal, everyone realized that it was already more than 12 o'clock at noon, but in order to ensure the safety of the bamboo slips, Professor Chen asked Ma Kai and the local comrades who dismantled the organs to go to dinner, and the rest of the people waited for lunch to sit on the ground and compress the biscuits and solve the problem with mineral water.

After eating the biscuits, the people sitting on the ground discussed why the tomb owner used bamboo slips instead of paper. Zhang Gong, who studies architecture, asked: "Didn't there already be paper before the Eastern Han Dynasty?" Why do you still use bamboo slips? ”

Feng Weiguo said without thinking: "Maybe the paper at that time was more expensive and the resources were less, right?" ”

"This statement should not be true, if the owner of this tomb is a military general according to Professor Chen, then he still lacks money to buy paper? Give as much as you want. Zhu Gong also participated in the discussion.

Qin Gong listened, you can't say a word to the topic, stood up and said: "At that time, there were few resources, mainly it may be a problem of habit, the invention of paper should be the earliest in the Western Han Dynasty, when the paper was relatively rough, writing is impossible, to the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun only improved the paper, 105 A.D. only had Cai Hou paper, the tomb owner according to the bridge stone carvings preliminary judgment is also that period, but earlier than Cai Lun or later than Cai Lun is not known. Even in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and later dynasties, there was still the use of bamboo slips, perhaps the ancients knew that the preservation of paper was not as good as bamboo slips. ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, admire, admire, Lao Qin has a lot of goods in his belly!" Professor Wang also stood up after complimenting. Driven by two people, everyone got up and continued to work.

For the next two hours, they repeated themselves in simple slow motion, for fear of breaking something. Inadvertently, the assembly line stopped, and Professor Chen was fascinated by the bamboo slip in his hand.

Zhang Gong asked anxiously, "Professor Chen, what's wrong?" What new discoveries? ”

Professor Chen raised his head, glanced around the crowd with his eyes, and said, "Now the bamboo slip I am holding in my hand has written on it what the owner of the tomb said to us, and he seems to know that we will come. ”
