Chapter 33: The Map on the Stone
Looking at the top of the tomb, Hou Zifeng's saliva was about to flow out, judging from the appearance, the top of the tomb should be made of gold, and the top of the entire tomb, I don't know how many golden yellow tiles, if you deduct a piece, it will be priceless.
I patted Hou Zifeng's shoulder, this kid's greedy appearance was too obvious, if it was exposed, it wouldn't be fun.
He also knew that his expression was a little too much, so he quickly put it away, and then continued to look ahead.
"It's spectacular!" Zhang Wen, who was standing next to us, stared at the scene in the tomb in front of him, and sighed in surprise, for these things, they are all very valuable for research, if this is announced, it will definitely cause a sensation, so that those who say that the Xia Dynasty does not exist can take a look.
Zhang Wen unconsciously walked forward slowly, Hou Zifeng and I did not stop him, but helped Zhang Huanqing aside, and the remaining three of us walked directly towards the huge bronze tripod.
The rest of the archaeological team members chose some things to study, and after sweeping away all the dust on them, they slowly put them aside. And I, Hou Zifeng and Zhang Man, walked to the side of the big ding.
"Be careful, it's only two, if there's something, then run away." We were next to the big ding, I cautiously said to Hou Zifeng and Zhang Man, and then stood on tiptoe and slowly approached the top cover of the big ding.
Hou Zifeng also stepped forward to help, after the two of them slowly lifted the tripod cover, there was no movement inside, put the tripod cover aside, Hou Zifeng jumped up, jumped directly on the big tripod, and then looked inside.
In which big ding, there was a box quietly placed, and after seeing the box, Hou Zifeng's face was full of joy.
Seeing the expression on his face, I was a little excited, could it be that I found it?
"What's in there?" I asked Hou Zifeng anxiously.
He didn't speak, but carefully put his hand into the big ding, and slowly took out the box inside the ding, and under the box, there was a strange-shaped copper sheet.
After taking out all the things inside, Hou Zifeng handed it to me, and after seeing the box, the original excitement gradually subsided, because it was not the stone box that Jiulong turned over that we were looking for, but an ordinary looking wooden box, the wooden box was about to rot, very fragile, when it was handed to me, my hand used a little force, and there was a creaking sound on the wooden box, as if it would be pinched at any time.
He handed me the box and the key fragment at the same time, and I quietly put the key away and looked at the wooden box carefully.
"What are you doing?"
A voice came from not far away, the speaker was a man about thirty years old, that man was a student of Zhang Wen, I remember that he seemed to be named Li Zhi, during the time in the camp, we all saw this man named Li Zhi, and the middle-aged teacher who had been against us before had a very good relationship.
After seeing that we found something, Li Zhi was a little jealous, his friends were ridiculed by these hairy boys several times, and he never found a chance, and now they found something, and instead of taking it out, they put it away by themselves, which made him feel very suspicious.
"You're hiding something." Li Zhi deliberately raised his voice.
Almost everyone in the chamber heard him shout, and then turned to look at us.
"Are you sick, aren't you, what are we hiding, what are you holding in your hand, your eye sees us hiding?" Hou Zifeng frowned, looked at Li Zhi unhappily and scolded.
"You have clearly hidden, everything here is the property of the state, and it is not right for you to do this." He looked at us with strange eyes and said something serious.
I laughed directly at his expression, "You better mind yourself." After that, I didn't pay attention to him, but just opened the wooden box.
In the wooden box, there was a white stone, just like the kind of stone we had seen before that could refract light, but the stone in front of us was polished, and its surface was very smooth and rectangular.
We are all a little curious, what is the purpose of this thing, and it is still hidden in such a wooden box?
"Then try the flashlight?" Hou Zifeng suggested on the side.
I nodded, then turned on the flashlight, picked up the white stone, and shone it on it.
I was a little disappointed that we didn't see much else out of the refracted light, and just as I was about to turn off the flashlight, an old voice stopped me.
"Wait a minute!"
I turned my head, I don't know when, Zhang Wen had already appeared behind us, after he finished saying that sentence, he did not speak, but lowered his head and looked at the ground.
"What's wrong? Professor Zhang. I asked, a little puzzled.
"Look at the ground." He said in a deep voice.
I, Hou Zifeng and Zhang Man all looked at the ground suspiciously, on the ground, a somewhat complicated map suddenly appeared, I was stunned for a moment, my hand couldn't help shaking, and the map on the ground also shook for a while.
"Don't move, this should be from the white stone in your hand." Zhang Wen hurriedly spoke, and then began to observe the map on the ground.
For a long time, my hands were a little sore, "Professor, you don't see anything." I asked impatiently.
He shook his head, "Put it away first, and when you get out, I'll study it, there must be a clue to where this is." ”
I glanced at him helplessly, this is not just a clue, it is clearly a map of all the ancient tombs of the Xia Dynasty.
When he asked us to show it before, I recognized it at a glance, and the things marked on the map were the same as the map that Anderson showed us before, and the records on it were the locations of the ancient tombs we had been to in the past two years, and the location of the last ancient tomb was also among them. But the question is where did they get that map?
"I feel like we're picking up speed, Anderson has a map there, and now they're gone, I think he must have known we were here, so they went straight to the last tomb to try their luck."
