Chapter 2 Bagua Town Soul Terrace
Another photo has a boundary monument about half a meter high, engraved with three vermilion characters in Shetou Village, and after seeing it, I immediately got up and went to Chen Changsheng's house and showed him both photos.
Chen Changsheng knocked on his knee after reading it, then took out his mobile phone and dialed it, asking the people over there to help lock the IP address of the person who posted the post.
Chen Changsheng asked someone in the police station for help, and then I sent the connection to it by text message, and not long after, the other party sent a text message, which said Bashu Yonghe County
I wanted to go to Yonghe County alone, but Chen Changsheng told me: Our archaeological team is just preparing to go to Yonghe County next week for archaeology, which may also be destined by God, so I inform them to go to Yonghe County tomorrow, you go back and prepare, go with us, and find this snakehead village in an instant.
I only thought about one sentence in my head, that is, isn't it, Chen Changsheng invited me to join his archaeological team?
In our country, there are not many people who can be valued by Chen Changsheng, if Chen Changsheng instructed me to write a thesis, others will think that I must have real talent and real learning. But saying that I went to the Gu exam with Chen Changsheng, this is a qualification, a qualification that can be taken out to show off.
I nodded hurriedly: Okay, I'll go back and prepare right away.
I was ecstatic along the way, even if it was late at night, I woke up my buddy in the same bedroom when I entered the house, and he got up angry and scolded: Dog, don't sleep.
I really didn't have a place to show off, so I said, "I tell you a good news or a bad news, which one do you want to listen to first?"
Good news.
The good news is that Professor Chen Changsheng invited me to join his archaeological team; The bad news was that Professor Chen Changsheng invited me to join his archaeological team.
This guy still cut his voice: I found out that you are really stunned, Professor Chen guided you to write your thesis during the day, and now he invites you to his archaeological team. Damn, sleep, don't bother me, if Professor Chen Changsheng can invite you, I will kiss our mentor tomorrow, besides, isn't it the same news that you fucking said.
I laughed: good news for me, bad news for you, because I've been ahead of you at the starting line for years.
The dude ignored me and fell asleep as I began to pack up some of my essentials.
Early the next morning, I took a taxi to the outside of Chen Changsheng's villa, Chen Changsheng and his archaeological team members had already arrived, with an average age of over 40 years old, because they worked outside all the year round, they all looked very strong, and they were happy to see me: Professor Chen, this is the new team member you asked us to wait for? It's too tender.
They laughed jokingly.
Chen Changsheng was still holding a pipe and said, "Introduce yourself."
In front of them, I am indeed too tender, these people have been following Chen Changsheng for many years, and if they are released any of them, they are all leaders of the local archaeological team, and I am in front of them, saying that the newcomers are pretending to be forced.
My name is He Yang, and I am a second-year graduate student at Northwest University.
My tone was very humble, and they all introduced themselves, and then I got into their car and rushed to Yonghe County together.
It took 23 hours on the road, I was asleep, I was awakened by the sound of shouting, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the car was parked at the foot of a hill, and the team members had already gone down, and I followed.
The driver of the car patted me: It's the first time I've been to the scene, right? If you can follow Professor Chen at such a young age, your future is limitless. Do it well, don't expect anything from you the first time, just watch from the sidelines and learn something.
Chen Changsheng called this driver Da Niu, thirty-four years old, before I came, he was the youngest person in the archaeological team, just like his nickname, he was born strong, dark-skinned, and his strength was greater than ordinary people, so he had such a title.
Yes, Big Bull.
When you first arrive, your mouth is naturally sweeter.
He smiled: There are not so many rules here, just call me a big cow.
After speaking, he went to the back of the car and picked up the mapping tools.
Chen Changsheng saw that I had nothing to do, so he asked me to go to the nearby village to gather the villagers, and asked me to find a place for them to stay in the village first, and I did so.
People from several nearby villages were called to the site, and the excavation was mainly carried out by these villagers, who were paid by the archaeological team.
Chen Changsheng asked Da Niu to arrange for these villagers, he went to the side by himself and smoked a cigarette, I walked over and asked him: Is this an ancient tomb?
Chen Changsheng said: A few days ago, a villager dug a well here and dug up several bones, and we suspect that this was once a battlefield.
This kind of case, I also learned a lot in class, and there will be nothing really valuable unearthed on the battlefield, and the value is only reflected in its historical significance.
The excavation of such relics does not take long.
However, Chen Changsheng then said to me: You go buy some incense candles, yellow table paper, and firecrackers tomorrow, and burn them nearby.
I hesitated a little: what are you going to do with these things?
Chen Changsheng told me: Some things are rather credible than not, and you will be able to know when you actually enter the archaeological team in the future.
I still did it, but I felt that Chen Changsheng's behavior was a lot of this move, and today, when atheism is prevalent, a dignified figure at the level of archaeology, doing this kind of thing, I am afraid that people will laugh at it.
While I was burning the paper, the big cow came over and burned it with me: What? Don't believe any of this?
I said, "I don't believe it."
He smiled: I didn't believe it before, I didn't join Professor Chen's archaeological team four years ago, and I was working in the local archaeological team at that time, there were 20 people in total, and we dug up an ancient tomb, do you know what is inside?
What the? I asked.
Da Niu's face gradually showed a little frightened, and I could feel how scared he was from his eyes.
Da Niu said: Ghost, we saw ghosts inside, floating, formless and incorporeal, all the team members who went in together died inside, only I came out alone, you can't experience that kind of fear, you can't break free, you can't escape, they are buzzing in your ears, sometimes screaming, sometimes crying. But then the tomb was blown up, and the body of my companion is still buried under it.
Da Niu's expression was very strict, not like he was making up a story, this was real fear.
I never believed in this, but I was a little shaken and hurriedly burned the paper in my hand.
Da Niu saw that I was frightened by him, but he smiled: Don't worry, this is not an ancient tomb, just a battlefield, you don't need to go to the tomb, and you don't have to participate directly.
They worked until late at night, surveying and mapping all the numbers, and starting work early the next morning.
The villagers all put down their farm work and began to dig the mountain, and I went with them, and stayed at the site for a whole day, feeling extremely bored.
Finally, at six o'clock in the evening, the first corpses were unearthed, and then one after another corpses were exhumed.
I looked at the bones arranged next to me and felt very strange, just Chen Changsheng came over and asked me: Tell me, what did you find?
Chen Changsheng's test, you must not be wrong, otherwise even if he brought me this time, it will be difficult next time, I said: The battlefield is from the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is very strange that there are no weapons here, and, judging from the clothes left by the excavated bones, they belong to the same party. This is not a battlefield, so to speak, but a slaughterhouse.
After listening to my words, Chen Changsheng took out the pipe in his mouth and knocked off the tobacco inside: Tell me your reason.
This is obvious, it is impossible for the battlefield to be free of weapons, the two sides are fighting, and there will not be only the corpses of one side on the battlefield, and these people have no obvious scars on their bodies, they should be buried alive. I say.
Chen Changsheng nodded, and several members of the archaeological team next to him were also full of appreciation.
However, Chen Changsheng then said: It is necessary to consider this situation, the weapons were taken away by the victorious side, and the corpses of their own people were also taken away by them. So, the only thing that can support your point of view is the last point. It is clear that these people are prisoners of war, and in the absence of the power to resist, they are buried here.
The archaeological team members next to him all listened carefully to Chen Changsheng's words, and I also listened carefully, this is a rare wealth.
Chen Changsheng also said: Wild history records that in the first year of Shaoxing, there were Southern Song Dynasty troops and Jin troops who fought in the Bashu area, and judging from the clothes left by these bones, they were soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty.
I convinced, and we were still guessing if this was a battlefield, and he had already roughly figured out who was buried here.
Professor Chen, come and see this.
At this time, there was a shout from the archaeological team, and the voice was very urgent, it should have been a great discovery.
We rushed over, and the archaeological team was standing on the roof of the car, and we climbed up and looked at the excavation site, and we were all stunned.
Nearly halfway through the process, judging from the revealed half, the burial pit turned out to be in the shape of a gossip.
It's amazing.
Even Chen Changsheng couldn't help but exclaim.
At this time, another supervising archaeological team member called us over, we got off the roof of the car, and went over to see a stone tablet, on which the word "Soul Suppression Platform" was engraved.
This is already the center of the gossip, this stone tablet is dragging eight black iron cables, submerged into the ground, the iron ropes are extremely cold, and they feel cold and biting when they touch it.
Oh my God, what is this going to dig up? Da Niu looked at this stone tablet in a daze, and there was a little fear in his eyes, could it be that kind of thing four years ago?
