Chapter 615: The Ancient Road of the Yellow River

The old man who herded the sheep took us to the place where he found the yellow intestine, the location is just in the ancient road of the Yellow River, the Yellow River once rushed, two thousand years ago and then brushed away, because of the mud and sand, the turbid river water in the embankment under the sandwich, shaped a real hanging river, the riverbed is high, the remnant embankment is higher, like a stretching loess Great Wall.

As far as the eye can see, the entire river is like a canyon piled up with loess, and under the vast sand, I don't know how many desolate past events are buried.

I knelt on the ground and could clearly see the holes like plum blossom piles, these were the traces left by the villagers after pulling out the yellow intestines, and the old man who was herding the sheep did not understand why we were interested in the plain-looking wood, and honestly let us go to his house to move.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Zhu Qi took out the probe shovel and hit it neatly, a master like him, with the strength and angle of the probe shovel, he mastered the fire, but the probe shovel only entered half an inch, I saw Zhu Qi let go of his hands and squeezed it a few times, presumably he was shocked and numb.

"Since there is a yellow intestine here, it means that the location of the ancient tomb is roughly near here, but the soil here is too hard to be hit by a shovel, if you can't find out the direction and direction of the ancient tomb, you really don't dare to dig rashly." Zhu Qi frowned and said.

"Uncle Seven, we speculated before that this was originally a river, even if the mausoleum was excavated and built, whether it was dug up or filled back with soil, it would be impossible to distinguish, and it would be useless to explore and shovel here." Ying Cheng Yuan said.

"How is this good, if you can't find the location of the ancient tomb, you can't dig it." Ye Zhiqiu said worriedly.

"Anyway, the yellow intestine appears here, and the ancient tomb is eight or nine below, or let's dig a robbery hole here first, and see the situation while digging." Tian Ji said.

I shook my head and denied the idea of Tian Ji: "If this is in the wilderness, your attention will be successful, but the river here is now visited by villagers, and our blatant excavation will inevitably attract the attention of the villagers, and once the news leaks, it will be a big trouble." ā€

"I have an idea." Tian Wanqing said beside him.

"Wanqing, what do you think of?" Repentance Yuan asked.

"If the mausoleum of the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu is made up of yellow intestines, without knowing the direction and direction of the tomb, it is too risky to excavate by the method of robbing the tomb, not to mention that the robbery hole is excavated, even if it is close to the ancient tomb, it will not help." Tian Wan said to us calmly. "Because the mausoleum is all made of extremely hard steel cypresses, if they are not dug into the tomb, these steel cypress will be like a copper wall to block people who try to enter the tomb, we are short of time, and we have no time to spend energy on chopping steel cypress."

"Aunt Tian makes sense, I have studied the yellow intestine problem, the so-called chopsticks are easy to break, a chopstick is difficult to break, the yellow intestine problem is actually this truth, tens of thousands of steel cypress piled together, but not as simple as cutting a piece of wood, if we dig here with great fanfare, I believe it will not take long to be discovered." Xue Xinrou nodded and said.

"Aunt Tian, what do you have to do?"

"The archaeological team's method of excavating the ruins is completely different from tomb robbing, the archaeological team is to uncover the bottom, starting from the top of the sealed soil layer by layer, until the entire mausoleum is excavated."

"You mean to give this place to the archaeological team?" Zhu Qi took out the cigarette stick and asked.

"Yes, this may be the best way, first of all, once the archaeological team takes over, there is no need to worry about the destruction of the ancient tomb, secondly, the cultural relics inside can be properly reported, and secondly, the archaeological team does not have to worry about not being able to determine the location of the ancient tomb, and will radiate to the surrounding area based on the place where the yellow intestine was found, and clean up and excavate a large area." Tian Wanqing nodded and said to us. "I came out to propose to the curator to discover the remains of the ancient tomb here, and even if I can't participate in the excavation, I can know the situation of this ancient tomb first."

"Uncle Seven, I think Wanqing is this method, what do you mean by being old?"

"Well, that's a good note." Zhu Qi lit the cigarette stick and said casually. "When I go back and wait for the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun to be dug out, remember to go to my grave to burn paper and let me know."

"Huh?!" should regret Yuan was stunned. "Uncle Seven, what do you mean by that?"

"Wanqing, I heard what you mean, the archaeological team is excavating to protect, and we are digging with dirt rats to destroy, but that's what you mean?" Zhu Qi glanced at Tian Wanqing and asked lightly.

"Uncle Seven, look at what you said, I'm talking about things, but I really didn't say that you are old." Tian Wanqing replied with a smile on her face.

"I've been digging graves all my life, and I have to tell you today, do you really think that the archaeological team's way of digging graves is protecting cultural relics?" Zhu Qi took a puff of cigarette and said meaningfully. "Nonsense, what you do is spoiling the treasure left by your ancestors."

"......" Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback, she knows her temperament, when it comes to archaeology, she must definitely be on the line at a glance. Seventh master, I don't dare to agree with what you say, archaeology is a systematic science, every step is orderly, the purpose is to ensure the completeness of cultural relics, how can you say that our archaeology is bad for cultural relics? ā€

"Your father is Ye Jiuqing, who has no treasures, and he has found more treasures from the tomb in his life than you have seen in the archaeological team, and he has never taught you?"

"Don't say a word, there are many doorways here, don't get an axe." I pulled Ye Zhiqiu back and whispered in her ear.

"No, I also want to know, how did archaeology become the destruction of cultural relics?" Xue Xinrou looks pure and lovely, but she is as stubborn as she really is.

"No matter how I say it, I'm old, the words come out of my mouth, I can't help but rely on the old and sell the old, you are a rising star, and you are the same generation as them, you just tell them." Zhu Qi looked at me and said.

Ying Chengyuan was silent beside him, looking at his appearance, he knew that he was the same as Ye Jiuqing, he knew the reason for this, and he must have never told Tian Wanqing, I was pushed to the front by Zhu Qi's words, and said with a helpless sigh, although the archaeological team's methods are old-fashioned but very rigorous, and they require meticulous presentation of the outline of the ruins.

Therefore, from the initial investigation to exploration and excavation, the biggest advantage of this method is to preserve the whole picture of the ruins.

"Isn't that good, since these ruins have been discovered, they should be made public for the world to see, so as to know the history that has happened, such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang from beginning to end, if it is not excavated by the archaeological team, it can become the eighth wonder?" Ye Zhiqiu argued with reason.

"History is carried on antiquities, not what you call relics, to say to you, the old man's cave we saw before, no matter how many thousand years pass, it will not become a miracle." I smiled bitterly.

"There are cultural relics, I have participated in the restoration of the Terracotta Warriors, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses displayed in them are not cultural relics." Ye Zhiqiu asked aggressively.

"Have you ever seen a real terracotta?" I scratched my head and chuckled.

"Nonsense, of course I'll see ......" Ye Zhiqiu was suddenly taken aback. You, don't tell me that the terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are all fake?! ā€

"There is a terracotta warrior in Cheng Qianshou's shop, you and I have seen it since childhood, you always thought it was a fake imitated by Cheng Qianshou, but in fact, it was the real terracotta warriors."

"You, are you saying that the colorful terracotta figurines that Uncle Cheng placed at the door of the store are real terracotta warriors?" Ye Zhiqiu's mouth opened wider.

has already said this, I don't want to hide her, Cheng Qianshou told me about this matter, let me not say it in front of Ye Zhiqiu, the real terracotta warriors and horses are painted, not only powerful but also quite exquisite, but the archaeological team excavated them are all gray.

The reason for this is because of the excavation method adopted by the archaeological team, the conventional unveiling, you must know that these artifacts have been buried in the ground for more than 2,000 years, and the paintings on them are extremely sensitive to air and humidity.

Suddenly exposed to extremely high humidity, these originally colorful terracotta warriors and horses quickly dehydrate, curl and warp, and peel off along with the paint layer until all the paint is gone.

"And the way of robbing the tomb is just the opposite, generally the robbery hole is directly to the tomb road, the damage to the tomb is minimal, the flow of air is also very little, so as not to destroy the artifacts in the ancient tomb, and the tomb robbery can be too early than archaeology, the preservation of artifacts also has a way to pass on the word of mouth, the terracotta warriors and horses in Cheng Qianshou's shop, it is estimated that it is the only one that can be called the real terracotta warriors and horses."

Ye Zhiqiu and Xue Xinrou were dumbfounded, the two of them had nothing to say for a while, such things abounded, archaeology despised tomb robbers, but tomb robbers looked down on archaeology at all, the oracle bone inscriptions in Yin Ruins and the murals in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes were because of the wrong opening, which led to the devastating destruction of those antiquities.

The underground palace of Famen Temple was excavated, if it weren't for Cheng Qian's quick hand to steal the beam and change the pillar to take away the real Buddha's real body relics, it is estimated that it has been shattered now, and it is clear who is protecting the antiquities and who is destroying these things.

Tian Wanqing turned her head blankly to look at Ying Chengyuan: "You, you already knew?" ā€

Ying Chengyuan probably knew that he couldn't hide it: "Hey, it's not that I don't tell you, it's not that I don't want to argue with you, think about it, Dingling is the only imperial tomb that has been opened, and the way to excavate Dingling is actually the method used to rob the tomb, as a result, a complete and magnificent imperial tomb is presented in front of future generations, standing in it can feel majestic and solemn, you go to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses to see, yes, that place is called the eighth wonder, but in the eyes of our people, it is a joke, A large earth pit was dug out by archaeology, and the exquisite paintings turned into gray-faced terracotta figurines, and there was no sense of the momentum of thousands of troops guarding the Qin Tomb. ā€
