The first step of archaeology is called "rough excavation", with the deep pit as the core, the cemetery point as the auxiliary, the sappers are digging with this shovel over there, and 02 and 03 are assisting Mr. Guo Moruo to do the "spreading" work at the deep pit, because this deep pit is the initial discovery point, and has been judged to be the upper Yongdao, so this point has become the focus of the first step of "rough excavation" work. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the suspicion of poison in this upper corridor, 03 prepared the nearby green grass early and boiled it into juice for everyone to take to ensure that nothing went wrong! "Rough excavation" work is to dig up the soil and stones above the tomb, which is mostly rough work, and it stands to reason that experts like Mr. Guo Moruo do not need to participate. But the old gentleman's profession, braving the scorching sun, and a few assistants were beside the sappers, and every time the sappers dug a shovel of soil, Mr. Guo Moruo had to look at the dirt to determine how far away from the location of the tomb.

"Rough digging" is the most tiring work, is the archaeology, the lowest technical content, as long as there is a strong link, everyone worked together, digging to noon, Mr. Guo Moruo shouted "stop", all the archaeological members have passed the word, to stop the excavation of the sappers next to them. Then everyone looked at Mr. Guo Moruo, only to see him jump into another newly dug pit, looking at the dry soil and rocks, nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is it!" ”

02 and 03 came over separately and took a look: the tomb in ancient times was 100% dry in order to rot by moisture, 100% of the drying project has been lost, and now the drying project is used with chemical agents, this thing has a short drying time period, and the most can ensure the drying process for decades, and the short one is a few years and a few months, the most obvious is the desiccant that we often put in food bags. When you see the dry earth and rocks, you know that the tomb is about to surface! At this time, Mr. Guo Moruo began to set up tools and do the necessary "soil sealing" work. (Editor's note: Sealed soil: is a proper name in the archaeological community, to put it bluntly, it is to do the relevant preservation of the cultural relics that are about to be revealed, with the development of science and technology, archaeology has also been changing with each passing day, and today's archaeology also has carbon dating and endoscopic technology, which did not exist at all in the sixties in China.) In order to facilitate the understanding of readers, the author tries not to use professional terms here, and uses the most simple words to show the archaeological process to the majority of readers! Then Mr. Guo Moruo called everyone over, pointed to the dry soil and stone on the ground and said: "Comrades, please stop the rough excavation immediately once you dig out such soil and stone in the process of rough excavation, and then make a report, and wait for my next guidance, is it okay?" After the sappers had identified the dry earth and rock, they received the order to return to their respective points of origin and continue the rough excavation until about 15:00 in the afternoon, when the rough excavation was complete.

At this time, Mr. Guo Moruo had already followed his assistants to open up the entire Shangyong Road, and Mr. Guo Moruo carefully studied the Shangyong Road, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and immediately found 03 and followed him to study the "secret" of the Shangyong Road.

Mr. Guo Moruo: 03, I have already observed Shangyong Road, and it is very consistent with your inference, this tomb has traces of tomb robbery, and the tomb robbers are definitely a gang.

03: Well, that's how I judged when I saw that corpse.

Mr. Guo Moruo: Then you should also know that the traces of this tomb robbery must have happened not long ago, right?

03: Yes, judging by the appearance of the deceased, he should have just died, Mr. Guo, how do you tell that this tomb robbery happened not long ago?

Mr. Guo Moruo: The traces of crawling in the upper corridor. The upper Yongdao is a simple passage, can only allow one person to crawl out, this upper Yongdao in the construction, obviously more hurried and rough, the material used is actually containing dry ingredients of soil and stone, so when crawling will leave obvious crawling traces, more importantly, presumably the owner of this tomb knows about the matter of the Yongdao, so the poison used is powdered, mixed in this soil and stone, when people crawl, once the dust is inhaled, it will be poisoned and die. I saw some poison ingredients at the scene, so I judged that the tomb robbery had indeed happened not long ago.

03: Coincidentally, Mr. Guo, what do you mean when you talk to me alone...... You can't just tell me that, right?

Mr. Guo Moruo (nodding, relieved): You are very smart, yes, because there is a poison with dry ingredients in Shangyong Road, I am not sure what the situation will be next, so for the sake of everyone's safety, you are also an expert in tomb robbery, so I want you to enter the tomb through Shangyong Road to see what is going on. Let's see if there are any accomplices of tomb robbers who died inside, and the information you told me last night: the deceased's hands are clean, it must have used a lot of tomb robbing tools, where did these tools go? Whether it's with their accomplices or not, I need you to help me find out.

For such a request, 03 usually will not refuse, throughout the morning, I saw so many sappers involved in the rough excavation work, I know that the tomb under this is definitely a "big mound" (author's note: many people don't understand, in this series of novels about tomb robbery, why do they like to call the tomb "zongzi", that is because zongzi and mound are close sounds, and in many dialects, or homonyms, tomb robbers are more taboo mounds, corpses and other such sayings, so they like to say that the mound is zongzi, and the corpse in the mound is zongzi, If you come across a mound that will wait for each other, it is called a large dumpling, and the corpse inside is of course a large dumpling! This temptation is unbearable for any tomb robber. 03 I had the idea of trying it a long time ago, but because of discipline, I didn't dare to act, but now Mr. Guo Moruo said it himself, and he was immediately excited and agreed. Mr. Guo Moruo said firmly: "I am an atheist and do not believe in ghosts and gods, so all you have to worry about is the mechanism and poison in the tomb......

"You guys?" 03 As soon as I heard the word "we", I knew that there might be a lot of people going down, and Mr. Guo Moruo added on the side: "Yes, I have to arrange some people to follow you down, just in case ......"

"Mr. Guo ......" 03 interrupted: "Our tomb robbers are not expensive, there are too many people, I can't take care of them, if Mr. Guo really needs to arrange two assistants for me, I hope that 01 and 02, 01's physique is enough to protect our safety, and 02's professionalism is enough to ensure our exploration." ”

Mr. Guo Moruo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement!
