Chapter 30: The Legend of the Archaeological Team (Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
PS: There's one more chapter later. Lao Bei begged for a monthly pass.
The fat man stopped doing it at once, "Damn, I have been doing it for a long time, I want Lao Tzu to work hard, I"
"Eh, eh." I quickly stopped the fat man, "That's no different from your current job." ”
The fat man was right to think about it, but he still looked at Professor Chen very unhappily.
I hurriedly asked Professor Chen again, "What is that Immortal Kui?" ”
Professor Chen thought for a while, and then said, "If you have to express it in words, the underworld is actually a kind of 'ghost'. ”
"Ghosts?" I couldn't help but keep my voice down.
Professor Chen's expression was very complicated, as if he didn't know how to explain it to me.
"Well, it's not entirely true to say that it's a ghost, because the Immortal Kui doesn't actually exist, but among our archaeological teams around the world, there are a lot of legends about the Immortal."
I wondered, I felt as if Professor Chen was lying to me. Non-existent? If something doesn't exist, you can just break it up.
"Things have to start from the time of reform and opening up." "At that time, all walks of life were carrying out big projects, and we were the same in the archaeological community, and many large tombs were discovered at that time. Looking back, it was really busy from morning to night. In those years, our archaeological team did not have sufficient funds and skills, and in terms of specific work, we also borrowed the methods of some tomb robbers to conduct surveys and excavations. Therefore, the excavation of the ancient tomb is very fast, but the clean-up work is more complicated. ”
When archaeologists discover an ancient tomb, it is common practice to excavate it. First build a shed on it, and then the cleaning personnel use various small tools to clean out the artifacts in the ancient tomb little by little.
The burial chamber is well preserved. That's fine, but if the tomb has already been stepped on. Then the clean-up becomes extremely tedious.
"That's probably when the Immortal appeared. The first rumor is said to have appeared in a group burial tomb of nobles in Shaanxi. The area of the cemetery discovered was very large, and the tents were all set up for six or seven hundred meters, and the initial clean-up work took half a year. By the time the crew began to clean the largest burial chamber, something strange happened.
Every time, as long as they are rushing to work at night, the clean-up crew will hear the sound of extra footsteps around them, and sometimes even hear people talking. For several nights in a row, the group of people was frightened, if it weren't for the organizational urging. Surely they wouldn't have gone in at night.
But later, those people gradually got used to it, and when they heard footsteps and talking, they didn't hear it, and continued to work hard. However, on the last night of the clean-up work, the clean-up personnel who had been in the tomb for those nights disappeared inexplicably, and the others searched for several days but could not find them. Just when everyone was feeling frustrated, some people were surprised to find out. In the main burial chamber at the back, there was a shocking antique hidden in it, and the value of that thing far exceeded all the artifacts that had been cleaned up before.
That's what happened. Those who do archaeological work will inevitably encounter strange things. But that same year, something similar happened at archaeological sites across the country. Either missing or dead, the most bizarre thing is. Wherever this happens, some incredible artifacts will be found. It was as if we were under a curse. If everything goes well, then there is no big gain, as long as something strange like that happens, the most difficult clean-up work will find a national treasure-level artifact.
Oops, I can't really describe that feeling. In the years that followed, this kind of thing became more and more common. When we summed it up, we found that there seemed to be a lot of similarities between those things. For example, they will all appear in the main burial chamber, and they will be discovered by the archaeological team at first, and the strangest thing is that they all appear near the most precious artifacts, almost without exception.
So, those of us who do archaeology gave the thing a name, 'Hades', which means that it is a ghost that lurks around the precious artifact. ”
As he spoke, Professor Chen sighed, "But in the end, we don't know what the Immortal Leader looks like or whether it exists or not, but those things have indeed happened." So later, whenever we encounter any strange things in the ancient tomb, we will think that it is the Immortal Boss who is doing the trick. ”
The fat man suddenly continued: "If a thing has been buried underground for a long time, it will naturally have some spirituality, and if you have good luck, that kind of spirituality is just some strange phenomenon, and if you don't do it well, it is not uncommon for people to die." Professor Chen, I understand what you said, but why is Zhang Yadong so sure that the Underworld is among us? ”
Professor Chen showed a look of embarrassment again, "It's all because of some things that happened when we entered the main tomb last time, I can't explain it to you now, and you may not believe it when you say it, but only when we get to the main tomb and you see the environment there, you will know what the Dao is for." ”
I looked at the fat man, but neither of them spoke immediately. I know that Professor Chen's words are actually reminding us to hurry inside. But now that so many problems have not been solved, I really don't feel at ease if I want to go inside.
But the fat man said, "Are you really a thief in the main tomb?" ”
"That's right, no matter what we do now, we have to find the main burial chamber first." Professor Chen nodded.
"Eh, Professor Chen, since you have all done the robbery holes, why don't you take us out of the thieves when you come back?" I couldn't help but ask.
I thought that Professor Chen would be stopped by me, but I didn't expect him to answer immediately.
"It is true that you can walk to the main burial chamber from the robbery cave, but, but except for a set of coffins and some cultural relics, there is no snow crane feather fan we are looking for, and there is no way to find my three students, the structure of the main burial chamber is very strange."
I can probably understand what Professor Chen meant, but I was still a little skeptical, "You mean that the main tomb does not have a road to the tomb or the underground palace, or that road has some restrictions, right?" ”
"Oh, that's right." Professor Chan nodded at me.
The fat man smiled and said: "Then we passed like this, even if we were lucky enough to find those three people, we also found Zhuge Liang's fan, but how did we get out of the thief hole in the main tomb after the last?" ”
Although we don't know exactly what the structure of the main tomb is, according to Professor Chen's words, the gate there must not be able to enter or enter. And what the fat man and I are most concerned about now is actually the way out of the road, if the main tomb can't be entered, then the tomb road that Professor Chen and they dug is meaningless whether it is true or not. Standing in this position, whether to continue with Professor Chen and Zhuge Xuan, the fat man and I have to reconsider. (To be continued......)
