Chapter 22 Zhao'an
At that time, the ghost king Chen Siyuan was only in his thirties, but something happened that shocked the tomb robbery circle? What's up?
Speaking of which, it's a bitch who sets up an archway, and it's good!
The reason why this incident shocked the tomb robbery circle was related to the social environment at that time.
At that time, New China had just been founded, and after World War II, the global economy had recovered and the situation was stable. Many of today's great archaeological discoveries were excavated at that time.
At that time, foreign explorers called the expedition team, who were actually treasure diggers, set their sights on China. An ancient country with a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization is opening up to the outside world and its national strength is insufficient.
And the domestic tomb robbers also saw this opportunity and excavated the ancient tombs on a large scale.
In this way, the entire cultural relics community is like being looted. At a time when this culture was invaded and cultural relics and monuments were being swept away, the archaeological team came into play.
In 1950, China formally established the Institute of Archaeological Sciences and began to rescue and excavate ancient cultural relics. Before this, including the Qing Dynasty, there was no such thing as a cultural relics protection unit, so the first batch of archaeologists, most of whom were historical research scholars, bravely stood up and fought against foreign and domestic tomb robbers and treasure thieves.
Rescue excavations of cultural relics that have been destroyed or are about to be destroyed.
However, these archaeologists have no experience and no skills to find the tomb, and can only search for the possible location of the tomb through historical clues, so they are often one step behind, or even a few steps behind. Tomb robbers and treasure hunters are always ahead of them, and by the time the archaeological team finds them, the tomb has been damaged by the stolen holes.
What to do?
Tomb robbers have thousands of years of experience, searching for tombs, digging treasures, the means are strange, and the ways and means are not passed on, how to fight them?
How can we protect the cultural relics left by our ancestors?
Just when archaeologists mentioned tomb robbers and foreign treasure diggers, they gritted their teeth with hatred and scolded the heavens and the earth, a highly respected archaeological team professor surnamed Qian stood up.
He made a proposition: Zhao'an.
It is to invite people in the tomb robbery circle to join the archaeological team, and use their skills to help archaeologists excavate the location of cultural relics first. After all, the archaeological team is also a national industry, and at that time, working for the public was a very face-saving and honorable thing, and it was inevitable that some tomb robbers would be tempted.
This proposal was supported by some people, so it began to be implemented, and as soon as this decision was notified, it caused a shock in the tomb robbery circle. Some people think: The archaeological team is a bunch of fools, Lao Tzu robs tombs and digs graves, eats fragrant and drinks spicy food, who the fuck wants your broken wages.
Of course, there are also people who are tempted and think: tomb robbing is a violation of the law, and maybe one day they will miss it. And doing this business, unlike ordinary people, is a secret industry, once it is known by the people around it, it is estimated that it can scare away a bunch of people. This is not a long-term career, if you can join the archaeological team and do things for the country, then you will be glorious, and from then on, you will be a man with a straight back.
There are also some more thoughtful ones, who hesitate and think: What if it is a plan made by the above? Do we admit that we are tomb robbers as soon as we go? When the time comes, once the handcuffs are worn and the pistol is pointed, it will be too late to run.
Under such various speculations, no one dared to follow the conscience.
At this juncture, my grandfather, that is, the ghost king, suddenly stood up and joined the archaeological team, transforming from a tomb robber ghost king to an 'A-level consultant of the Institute of Archaeological Sciences' in an instant.
He was the first person in the entire tomb robbery circle to join the archaeological team, and at that time, he was very popular in the Tao, and it can be said that he was famous. Even now, if I go to the archaeological institute and ask my grandfather's name, many old scholars can remember it.
When Tofu heard this, he immediately looked at me in surprise and said, "Perverted Chen, I didn't expect you to be a descendant of a public official, I always thought that your ancestors had grown sweet potatoes for eight generations!" ”
I only listened to the blood boiling, and even had an unreal feeling, my grandfather, a tomb robber digging mushrooms, a rural old man who worked part-time as a farmer, a lonely old man who once took me to dig wild vegetables to survive, did he really have such a legendary life?
Faced with Tofu's questioning, I suppressed the shock in my heart and said lightly: "Labor is the most glorious, planting sweet potatoes and archaeology, all of which are working in the field." You can't look at things with tinted glasses. "Tofu has never been able to grind me on the skin of my mouth, and I shrugged my head depressedly, but more and more questions came up in my heart.
Since my grandfather had later joined the archaeological team and became a public servant to serve the country, why did he return to his hometown and live a difficult life for a while?
Second Master Zhao said this, smiled, and said, "I haven't seen your grandfather, but no one knows his name." If you don't know, it's not a mixed business. Strictly speaking, he is a traitor to our line of business. ”
With my grandfather taking the lead, many tomb robbers began to become archaeologists, bringing all kinds of secret tomb robbers into the archaeological team. It was at that time that the skills of iron drill to explore the cave and smell the soil and understand the tomb began to be widely known, and became the means of the archaeological team, which made the overall detection technology of the archaeological team have a milestone leap.
Take the Luoyang shovel as an example, it was originally used by Luoyang's tomb robbers first, and later, it became a sharp weapon of the archaeological team, and was officially named 'exploration shovel'.
So the title of my grandfather traitor is not wronged.
After my grandfather became good, he began to follow the archaeological team to carry out various operations, which can be said to have made great contributions, and in the process he became a family, married my grandmother, and gave birth to my father. Originally, according to this state, the days would only get more and more prosperous, but in the process, an incident suddenly appeared, which made my grandfather's life change dramatically.
It was in 1968, when my father was only 11 years old, that my grandfather suddenly disappeared. He had written a letter to the archaeological team beforehand, saying that he had personal matters to deal with and needed to take a leave of absence for a while. At that time, the country was very short of manpower, everyone was a screw in society, women and children had to work, and there were no important things such as the death of parents and the birth of children by wives and children.
In the letter, Grandpa refused to explain what it was, so the leader disagreed, and Grandpa didn't care about this, so he didn't go to work the next day, and then he didn't go to work for more than a month.
Not only could the archaeological team not be able to contact him, but even his family could not be contacted.
A month later, Grandpa suddenly appeared again, and the whole person seemed to be drained of his soul, instantly as if he was more than ten years old, and the whole person showed a state of discouragement. No one knows what happened to grandpa in that month, but after that, grandpa left the archaeological team, took grandma and father, and returned to the countryside to spend the rest of his life.
This is the second person that Second Master Zhao told me.
The first is the flying knife Bai Laosi, and the second is my grandfather.
And Bai Laosi was the one who pretended to be a gold guest and kidnapped my grandfather. What is the connection between these two people, these two things, that he is talking about? What did Grandpa do in that month?
Second Master Zhao said: "I haven't met your grandfather himself, and the reason why I know about this is because of a third person." He paused, smoked a cigarette, smoked slowly, and said slowly: "This person is called Chenzi." ”
Tofu had already listened a little fascinated, and when he heard this unfamiliar name, he couldn't help but come back to his senses and wondered: "Chen? Who is he? Could it be the perverted Chen's own family again? ”
I was expressionless, slapped him directly on the head, and said lightly: "Take back the word pervert." After a pause, I said, "That's my dad's name." "I grew up without parents, and I heard about their bad deeds and the hardships that my peers couldn't bear. I didn't want to think of this man, so I didn't mention his name to anyone.
Submission.
It's the cold young man in the photo.
Is he really an idle drunkard?
The origin of this Second Master Zhao is unknown, and Hu Lao is blind and doesn't blink his eyes. He told me so much, I certainly can't believe it all, and I can't disbelieve it. There is a way to be diligent in doing nothing, and it is either a traitor or a thief. I went to see what he had in mind when he told me all this around the corner.
Second Master Zhao has been observing my reaction, probably when I heard my father's name, his reaction was too indifferent and cold, so he frowned, took a sip of tea and said: "I once saw him when he was dying, and learned a big secret. I'm looking for you this time for this secret. ”
I didn't care about the secret in his mouth, but when he said the word death, I felt a sense of stuffiness, a bit like when my grandfather disappeared.
During this process, Zhao Erye kept staring into my eyes, as if he wanted me to reveal something, I glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why don't you continue?" Anyway, we brothers have been listening. ”
Old man Zhao's face was a little unkind at first, and then he laughed and said, "It's really like, it's worthy of being Chen Ci's son, just as cold-blooded and ruthless." In that case, then I don't have to worry about your feelings. He smiled mysteriously and said, "The third person, Chen Ci, I met him in a mountain stream. ”
