Chapter 7: The Tomb
After the military training, the freshmen of Yizhou University officially started classes.
Lu Xiaonan's major is history and archaeology, and because it is an unpopular major, there are very few people who apply for the exam, but fortunately, the freshmen can still make a table of enough grades, but two of the six freshmen are girls. Lu Xiaonan almost dropped his jaw when he learned about it, this is not the same as the imaginary university, he remembered that he obviously didn't apply for Yizhou University, and he didn't fill in the archaeology major, why did he get here? Is there a mistake with the computer program?
But when he saw the old students of the same major, he felt that he seemed to be really pitted, there are three sophomores, five juniors, and only one senior in this major, but fortunately there is no disconnection, so there are still more freshmen this year. Due to the small number of students and the shortage of classroom resources in the school, the senior brothers and sisters can only share a classroom, which in the words of the counselor is more united and cordial. Of course, the entire major adds up to only fifteen students, and of course the teaching resources can be saved, and the counselors of the four grades are concurrently served by the same person, although this is not in line with the rules.
It is said that the tanned and swarthy Professor Lan is an authoritative figure in the field of history and archaeology in China, but his class is dry, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a guy who eats mixed rice, and during the lecture, the pager on his body kept screaming, and he went out to call back four times during the forty-five minute class, and when he went out to call back the fifth time, he simply disappeared, and he didn't even come back to take away the handouts on the lectern.
Lu Xiaonan thought that there would be people who would rebel and complain, but when he looked around, except for the new students, those old students didn't even raise their eyelids, on the one hand, it was not their class, and on the other hand, it seemed to be commonplace.
In the end, it was a junior brother who solved their confusion, "Your first class is Professor Lan's class, be content, Professor Lan is very busy, I have only listened to Professor Lan's class in the past three years." ”
The freshman class was very relaxed, and after the three main classes in the morning, it was all electives, and Lu Xiaonan went directly to the playground to play football after taking a long nap. It wasn't until he returned to the dormitory in the evening that he heard the tall and thin man with a long tongue say, "Hey, Lu Er, do you know, the ancient tomb has been dug up by road construction in Yizhou City, I heard that it may be the tomb of the prince in the Western Han Dynasty, there are many traps in it, and it hurts people, it's really terrible, and now they are all under martial law by the armed police, by the way, I heard that there are people from the province, but the head of the archaeological team this time is still our Professor Lan......"
The long-tongued man's name is Hu Lailai, the one who raised the bar with Tufeng on the bus on the day Lu Xiaonan reported to work, and he was the fourth in the dormitory. What Lu Xiaonan hates the most is that he is called "Lu Lao Er", especially the tone is still a little "mother", which is easy to reminisce people of other aspects. After Lu Xiaonan protested many times to no avail, he could only let it go, even Tufeng, the charlatan, didn't take him, what else could he do? I guess I can't change it if I beat him.
Speaking of a few people living together in the dormitory, Lu Xiaonan also felt that it was very fateful that there were four people who arrived at the school on the same shift, all experienced tire accidents, and they all went to visit Hongguang Temple.
There are only four male students majoring in archaeology, and they were originally going to be assigned to a dormitory, but the key is that this dormitory has three bunk beds that can accommodate six people. One of these two people is the youngest Tu Feng, he is a physics major, after the Hongguang Temple, Lu Xiaonan's impression of him has changed qualitatively, and the two have become friends who talk almost nothing. Another foreign classmate who was transferred over was Hua Chengyi, who was ranked third in economics, but this person Shenlong saw the beginning and did not see the end, only met once on the first day of school and never saw half a figure again, and did not come back to live at night, it is said that his family is from the city, and he is also the son of a few leaders in the city, but Lu Xiaonan doesn't feel very like, how can there be a leader's child studying in a second-tier city? As for the boss of the dormitory, he is a disabled person who has returned to school after a two-year hiatus, on crutches and with a depressed expression, named Han Zhan. The last person in the dormitory, that is, the fifth child, is Dr. Zhang, who is a little stunned, this elegant name is a perfect match for his temperament, and he laughed the loudest that day when Xiaonan was blackmailed on Hongguang Temple Road.
Lu Xiaonan grabbed the edge of the bed, jumped slightly, and then lightly arrived at the top bunk, and asked Hu Lailai while undressing, "Do you know which prince's tomb it is?" ”
"You haven't even entered the main burial chamber, how can you know whose tomb it is so quickly?" Hu Lailai said, and suddenly a scream, "Oh, I said Dr. Zhang, can you not be so disgusting and buckle your feet." ”
"Hehe, I'm thinking about things, I like to buckle my feet when I think about things, you just get used to it, it's good to get used to it......"
"Nasty." Hu Lailai turned his head and no longer looked at Dr. Zhang in the lower bunk, but faced with Lu Xiaonan, "Do you know Lu Er, this tomb of the princes of the Western Han Dynasty is not simple, Professor Lan is likely to take our professional classmates to see it and participate in this archaeological work, according to the existing information analysis, this will be an archaeological action to fill the gap in the country, and its significance may exceed the Yinque Shankhut Jianhan Tomb in this city, this news is from the master's students who have followed Professor Lan into this princely tomb, Absolutely......"
Lu Xiaonan was taken aback, although he didn't particularly like his major, but if he could participate in an epoch-making archaeological activity, he would still be a little excited to think about it.
At this moment, the phone in the dormitory rang, and Lu Xiaonan reflexively grabbed the phone hanging on the bedside in his hand. The call was from Su Lin, "Brother Xiaonan, are you ignoring me with other girls?" No? Then why didn't you call me five minutes late, you called me on time at ten o'clock every night, and I waited next to the phone on time every day, but today you haven't called me five minutes late, so I had to call you, tell me about ......" Lu Xiaonan immediately fell into the explanation of searching his stomach and scraping his stomach.
Half a month later, in the waiting of everyone, the definite news finally came, due to Professor Lan's persistence and struggle, all 15 students of the archaeology major of Yizhou University participated in the archaeological work of the ancient tomb of the princes of the Western Han Dynasty, but due to the great significance of the archaeological work, the students could only follow and watch and do some simple assistance work. This made Lu Xiaonan a little depressed, but the most depressed was Han Zhan, he was notified to stay behind before leaving, and even his qualifications to the scene were deprived, as a disabled person studying archaeology may be a mistake, his gloomy face only bloomed with a faint smile that froze for a moment, and it didn't go away for a long time......
The tomb is located at a real estate construction site, it is said that the excavator shovel down, only to hear the click, the shovel will break off a large piece, and after the external floating soil is cleared, only to find that the shovel only left a shallow white mark on the outer wall of the tomb of unknown material.
After nearly 100 armed policemen interrogated at various levels, a group of 14 people finally entered the archaeological site. At this time, the broken dragon stone at the tomb door had been opened, and the outer part of the tomb had been cleared, leaving only the last main burial chamber unopened.
Lu Xiaonan saw that Professor Lan, who had only seen one time, was explaining something to his assistant, while some other experts in white coats were nervously handling the excavated cultural relics, which included pottery, lacquerware, gold and silver utensils, etc., which were originally well preserved in the tomb, but at this time, as soon as they came out of the tomb, those metal objects grew a layer of red and green rust in a short time, and if they were not dealt with in time, they were likely to deteriorate.
Lu Xiaonan just glanced at these unearthed cultural relics very casually, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he entered the tomb with Zhao Kai, the graduate apprentice of Professor Lan, who led the team. The tomb has been pulled and installed with temporary electric lighting, along the tomb road about ten meters long all the way, you can see that there are some arrow holes, fire holes and poison spray holes on the stone wall that are welded and blocked by steel plates, etc., the ground of the tomb road is paved with steel plates in some places, stepping on it feels like it is suspended, it is estimated that it is a trap or something, you can imagine the kind of tragedy when opening this tomb, if someone enters rashly, probably die I don't know how to die, it can be seen that this ancient tomb is by no means ordinary, Otherwise, there would be no gathering of more than a dozen top archaeological experts in China.
Sure enough, Zhao Kai's introduction is the process of how to open the tomb door, I have to say that this graduate student brother is very eloquent, telling the story of the sound and color, thrilling, let Lu Xiaonan and these people feel like they are there.
Walking through the tomb and entering the outer room of the tomb, most of the burial goods are here, but at this time the main items have been cleaned up, and the remaining part is being carefully tended by the staff wearing white coats.
Where Lu Xiaonan stood, there were still traces of the cast weapon shelves being cut off on the ground, and it was said that there were seven weapons such as Ge, spears, knives and bows and arrows here.
Zhao Kai asked them, the newly arrived students, to stand outside the circle to watch, and they didn't need to interfere for the time being.
Lu Xiaonan looked at the cleaning work of the staff for a while, and felt very bored, so he went to look at the murals around. These murals because the process is more troublesome and have not had time to be pried down and transported away, Lu Xiaonan and others can see it, the content of the murals is probably to praise the merits of the tomb owner, etc., there are agricultural mulberry farming that governs a city, there are also pictures of leading troops to charge on the battlefield, and even the picture of cultivating immortals and practicing the Tao, from which it can be seen that the tomb owner is an all-rounder who can write and martial arts, but without exception, the tomb owner in these murals has always appeared as a young man, if it is not immortal, this person should have died young.
Lu Xiaonan looked along the mural one by one, as if he saw a heroic young man, sometimes galloping on horseback, sometimes boating on the lake, sometimes ethereal like a fairy, the picture was flowing rapidly, he had a very strange feeling about these pictures, his heart was beating hard, and his hand seemed to have touched something unintentionally......
At this time, the lamp nailed directly above the passage of the main burial chamber suddenly and strangely ignited on its own without anyone touching it. At the same time, there was a clicking sound, which shook the entire tomb and shook, and the door of the main tomb, which had not been opened no matter how hard the archaeologists tried, slowly opened automatically!
A cloud of smoke slowly drifted out of the tomb, mixed with many fist-sized bird-like things, as if with a bloodthirsty roar, charging towards the crowd.
