CHAPTER XXIII

In Zhang Wen's tent, Hou Zifeng, Hou Zifeng and Zhang Huanqing and I faced Zhang Wen, who was sitting in front of us. The hearts of the three of them were extremely worried.

It took so much effort to finally get the words on the slate back, and we approached Anderson and asked him to wash them out.

After getting Zhang Wen here, Zhang Wen excitedly took the photo taken, looked at it there for a long time, and then fell into deep thought.

None of us spoke, for fear of disturbing him, but it had been a long time since he had not reacted at all.

I just wanted to speak, and then I saw Zhang Wen raise his head.

"I know the tomb is there." His expression was hard to describe, as if he was very excited, but a little lost.

"There? Is it under the sea? I asked anxiously.

"There's nothing wrong with going under the sea, but .......," he said halfway, he stopped suddenly, as if in a bit of a quandary.

"What the hell is going on, you say." I asked anxiously.

"Alas, you have also seen the situation on the beach before, and what is recorded above is about the entrance to the ancient tomb, but it is also mentioned above that the entrance of the ancient tomb is guarded by a man, which is the thing we saw before." He said with some embarrassment.

"What's that?" We wanted Zhang Wen to ask with questions.

"Oh, in the ancient language, it means demon, that is to say, the entrance to the ancient tomb is guarded by demons, and we can't get there at all, I think the people before must have been about to get there, and then alarmed the demons in the sea, so they were drowned." Zhang Wen sighed.

"You're an archaeology professor, and you believe in that." Hou Zifeng said with some disdain.

"Why not believe it? But it's something that exists, I will believe it, just like you meet zongzi in the ancient tomb, those illusory things most people don't believe, but you have all seen it, so you know that it does exist, and we have just seen the green thing that appeared in the sea, so I also choose to believe, I don't want my team members to take that risk. Zhang Wen said in a deep voice.

"So what do you think now? Should I go or not? I frowned and looked at Zhang Wen and said. Now he is the only one who knows the location of the tomb, and I don't even know what he thinks.

"How sure are you if you are allowed to go down?" He suddenly looked at me and asked.

I was stunned for a moment, "It's hard for anyone to say, what it's like inside, we haven't seen it, and you don't tell me the location." ”

"I have an idea, I'll tell you the location of the ancient tomb, and then you go in, as for the things inside, try not to move them if you don't know it, because you have experience in this area, and the archaeological team members below me don't have this experience. So what you find when you go in is yours, and when you come out, tell me how to get in. After Zhang Wen thought about it, he said his thoughts.

"And what about the foreigners?" I hesitated, then asked.

"As for them, I naturally have a way to hold them back, and judging from the situation in the past few days, I also know that they must have other goals, so I will find a way to hold them down and buy you as much time as possible to let you in." He sighed, to be honest, he didn't want to do this, the things inside were all cultural relics, if the young people in front of him were allowed to enter, they would definitely take other things, but these archaeological team members under his command, they only knew archaeology, and they didn't have the ability to protect themselves at all.

"Okay, I promised." Before I could speak, Zhang Huanqing next to me said lightly.

I looked at him curiously, but he just nodded.

"Okay, you wait for me for a while, I'll draw the location of the tomb, and I'll look for you later." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

We nodded, then exited the tent and walked over like ours.

Not long after we left, Anderson arrived.

"Professor Zhang, what's going on, are there any clues?" Having entered the tent, Anderson asked Zhang Wen about it.

Zhang Wen shook his head, "Although I know the ancient characters of the Xia Dynasty, but there are some characters that have been hidden all my life, I still need to continue to search for information, I don't have a clue yet, give me some time, and after I have translated these words, I will inform you." Zhang Wen looked at Anderson and said lightly.

"Can't you understand anything now?" Anderson asked, somewhat disappointed.

Zhang Wen nodded, "If it's okay, you guys just go out first, don't let people disturb me, I need to study these things quietly." He directly ordered the eviction.

Anderson's face grew gloomy. He didn't speak, just turned and left.

And Zhang Wen, after seeing them leave, breathed a sigh of relief.

......

"What? Do you want to go down on your own? "Inside our tent, Zhang Man's shrill voice was heard.

"Shhhh Keep your voice quiet, for fear that others won't hear you. I hurriedly made a silent gesture, looked at Zhang Man and said.

She also realized that her voice was too loud, and quickly gagged her mouth.

"No, we're all here together, how can we let the three of you go down there." She whispered to us.

"We're going quietly this time, so we need you to cover for us, and we can't let those foreigners know that we're not there. If they all went, they would have taken action. I looked at Zhang Man with a frown.

"This ....." Zhang Man hesitated a little.

"Okay, that's it, when we're stunned, you all be careful, remember, no matter what lies you make up, you must not tell anything about our absence." I looked at Zhang Man, Xia Yu and Zhou Wanyu seriously, and said.

After much hesitation, the three of them nodded.

"Mr. Yu, are you there?"

As soon as we finished discussing, I heard someone call me outside, and after I stepped forward to open the tent, I found that it was Li Lingfeng standing outside, holding a box in his hand.

"Mr. Yu, this is what Professor Zhang asked me to send to you." He smiled and handed me the box.

"If it's okay, then I'll get busy first." With that, he turned and left.

"Alright, let's get ready, and when we have dinner later, we'll leave quietly." I looked at them and spoke, then slowly opened the box that had just been delivered.
