Chapter 228: The Old Tomb Robber
Chen Jinting held Gong Ping's hand tightly, leaned against the rock wall on the side of the canyon, and slowly walked back in the direction of the other team members with his own feelings.
However, the more he walked forward, the more strange he felt in his heart, and the more he walked forward, the more cold he felt in his heart.
As he said earlier, he clearly remembered that he was not far away from the rest of the team.
But now Chen Jinting has been holding Gong Ping's hand and walking forward for more than half an hour, but he still hasn't seen the rest of the archaeological team.
In front of the eyes of the two of them, there was still a lingering thick fog.
Chen Jinting was very strange in his heart at this time, and he couldn't help but want to turn around and ask Gong Ping beside him what was going on.
However, when he turned his head and was about to speak, he saw that Gong Ping was also frowning, obviously she also sensed that something was wrong.
"Gong Ping, could it be that we have taken a fork in the road?"
Chen Jinting's words seemed to be asking Gong Ping, but in fact, he was asking himself more.
No way, this scene is really weird and incomprehensible.
"I don't think it's going to be a fork in the road." Gong Ping thought for a moment and replied.
"The width of this canyon is limited, and there is a straight road leading to the end, as long as you keep going forward, you won't go to the fork in the road with your eyes closed, unless"
"Unless what?"
Chen Jinting subconsciously continued.
Gong Ping heard Chen Jinting's words and raised her head to look at him.
"Could it be that there really is something dirty? Is it the Japanese officer we dug up that is causing trouble, he doesn't want us to get out of this thick fog?"
"How is that possible!" Chen Jinting didn't wait for Gong Ping to finish speaking, and then retorted sharply.
In any case, he couldn't accept that it was a completely decomposed and ossified corpse that was doing the murder, and that it was a man with only one arm left.
"Brother Chen, we have been doing archaeological work for so many years, and we have never heard of such a thing. Last time we were in Fengmen Village with Lao Suo, didn't we hear Old Man Jiao tell us about ghosts hitting the wall? I think our current situation is really like hitting a ghost against a wall."
Chen Jinting didn't notice at all that Gong Ping's name for him had changed, from Team Chen to Brother Chen.
If it were put aside, Gong Ping's "Brother Chen" would have made Chen Jinting happy from the first day of the new year to the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
But now, he really didn't even notice that all his thoughts were in this strange and annoying fog.
"Ghost hitting the wall?" After Chen Jinting heard the three words that Gong Ping uttered the most, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered a sentence silently in his mouth.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Chen Jinting stopped suddenly, turned around, and stared straight at Gong Ping and said.
"Do you remember the strange thing he encountered in the ancient tomb when we went to Shaanxi last time when we met the old tomb thief who told us?"
Chen Jinting's unbounded question made Gong Ping open her eyes, and after she lowered her head and thought about it carefully, she raised her head and replied.
"You said that the tomb robber Zhang Agou who was rescued from the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
"Yes!" Seeing Gong Ping remember, Chen Jinting nodded.
"It's this Zhang Agou, do you remember what he told us in the hospital?"
THIS TOMB ROBBER ZHANG AGOU IS A LEGENDARY FIGURE IN THE TOMB ROBBERY CIRCLE, AND HIS STATUS IS EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF JACKYCHEN IN THE CHINESE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY NOW.
This dog has stolen countless ancient tombs and tombs in his life, from the emperors and princes, down to the landlords, as long as it is buried in the underground tomb after death, he can find it for you and find the safest and safest way to enter the tomb.
Zhang Agou was ninety-five years old when he met him in Chen Jinting, but at this age, this Zhang Agou is still insisting on being active on the front line of stealing money and finding money, which can be called a professional model in this industry.
Zhang Agou has a habit, he has always acted alone from tomb hunting to tomb robbing, and never does things with others.
And this old man is also exquisite, which seems to be unreasonable in the eyes of other tomb robbers.
The most valuable and valuable things in the ancient tombs are generally buried in the coffin of the tomb owner, and it is necessary to pry open the coffin of the person in the tomb to make a fortune.
But this dog is good, after this old man entered the tomb, he never rose to the coffin to make a fortune, but just picked up the most worthless thing from the funeral goods and brought it out, and this dog has excellent eyesight, and the things he selected to bring out of the ancient tomb are really the most worthless things.
To take the most appropriate example, Zhang Agou once opened and entered the tomb of a prince and king, and only brought out a five-baht copper coin from it.
Although the five-baht copper coin has been used since the Qin period, but because of the huge amount of inheritance, it can be said to be the most worthless ancient coin.
That dog brought such a broken thing out of that royal tomb, and no one could understand what he meant by his hard work and displeasure. When the royal tomb has already been emptied, only such a broken five baht remains.
The tomb was rediscovered by archaeologists 60 years later, and later confirmed to be the joint tomb of the king and queen of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, in which a large number of exquisite artifacts inlaid with gold and silver were excavated.
One of the gilded Changxin lanterns is a treasure in the history of Chinese gold and silver making, with a market value of $100 million
Zhang Agou has seen countless winds and winds in his life, but he has never capsized until he was ninety-five years old, he was inexplicably trapped in a Western Zhou Dynasty royal tomb, which was rescued and captured by the public security organs.
It's funny to say, the reason why the public security organs knew that Zhang Agou was trapped in stealing and digging the king's tomb was that they received a report from someone else, and the informant was Zhang Agou's own grandson!
Zhang Agou was a glorious life, but his good craftsmanship was never passed on to anyone, including his own sons and grandsons.
Therefore, when I learned that Zhang Agou was over 90 years old and was going to steal and dig ancient tombs, no one in this family could help, and he didn't dare to persuade him.
So Zhang Agou said that he wanted to go into the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty to have a look, and the family would let him.
But this is good, after going in for half a month and not seeing anyone come out again, the family panicked, but they couldn't find a way to enter the ancient tomb, and they had to report the case after the last resort.
After receiving the report, the public security organs arrived at the scene, and they also had no way to enter the ancient tomb.
After the end, he used an excavator to completely lift the roof of the tomb before rescuing Zhang Agou.
When Chen Jinting and Gong Ping met Zhang Agou, it was when he was hospitalized to recuperate after being rescued from the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
That time happened to be Chen Jinting and Gong Ping on a business trip to Shaanxi, and by the way, they visited an old classmate who also worked in the archaeological team.
Since the Western Zhou Dynasty mausoleum had been destroyed when Zhang Agou was rescued, Chen Jinting, an old classmate, was responsible for learning more about the situation in the mausoleum with Zhang Agou.
Chen Jinting and the others were curious about this for a while, so they went over to listen to it together, but they didn't expect that this unintentional one-time fun really made Chen Jinting and the others hear something that made them feel unbelievable
