At 10:50 in the morning, Yang Xiuwen met Qian Bin, who was waiting for him, at the gate of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

After bowing in greeting, he took out the hand piece of the sheep stepping on auspicious clouds from his pocket and handed it to Qian Bin and said, "Uncle Qian, this is carved by myself, and I will give it to you, it is very rough, don't laugh." ”

Qian Bin took it and looked at the beautifully carved sheep handle piece and said, "Your master took a tiger handle piece to show off in front of me a few days ago, and I have it now, hahaha." ”

Playing with it in hand.

took Yang Xiuwen and walked inside, and then said: "Three of you will be added to today's exam, that is, the other two are also from the unit." ”

When he came to the conference room, he understood what a form of walking was, and the other two were forty years old.

The volume is sent down, two sheets, what is the order of historical chronology, the origin of porcelain, and so on.

He picked up the fountain pen, and for a while, he used the line of calligraphy in the hard pen, and the words were handsome, and the paper was handed in in half an hour.

The invigilator took his paper and nodded secretly.

When I came out of the conference room, I saw Qian Bin talking to someone, and when he got closer, it turned out to be Zhao Guodong.

hurriedly greeted, "Uncle Zhao, long time no see, everything is fine" After speaking, he bent down and saluted.

Zhao Guodong laughed when he saw him and said, "Xiuwen, I haven't seen you for a few days, I received your calligraphy and paintings, I like them very much, especially the poem [The pine and cypress are thousands of years old, and the hibiscus flowers are resting for a day, after all, there is a total void, why praise the years]. Your Uncle Qian said that you are taking the exam, have you finished the exam? ”

Seeing him nod, he said to Qian Bin, "Xiuwen, I'll borrow it now, there is a Tang tomb that is being excavated and needs manpower, okay?"

Qian Bin said, "Why not, Xiuwen, come with your Uncle Zhao, work carefully." ”

Yang Xiuwen followed Zhao Guodong to the archaeological site.

On the way, Zhao Guodong explained, "This tomb is in Lantian County, outside Xi'an, it should be a county tomb, the preliminary work has been completed, and the tomb door will be opened today." After opening it, you go in first, and the last time I worked, I thought you had an eye that ordinary people don't have. ”

The two sat in the car and talked, and arrived at the scene in less than an hour.

The size of this burial chamber is not large, and it is 30 meters long and 15 meters wide when it is cleared.

It is only about five meters from the ground, and the tomb door is still there.

However, this tomb has been stolen, and five or six meters above the tomb door, there is a robbery hole in the ground.

I don't know when the cave was robbed, but now I can only see the outline of the collapse after the rainwater seeps.

Yang Xiuwen admired the professionalism of the tomb robbers in his heart, and he was able to accurately find the location behind the tomb door.

Because there was a tombstone behind the tomb door, he and Zhao Guodong discussed entering through the robbery hole and opening the tomb door.

The thief hole was quickly opened, and only one person could enter.

Yang Xiuwen nodded to Zhao Guodong and climbed in directly.

As soon as he entered, a foul smell hit his face, he held his breath and ran his mind, and the dark attribute energy in the tomb was quickly absorbed by him.

Under the light of the headlamp, I carefully stepped on the mud up to my ankle and came to the tomb door.

A white marble pillar is facing the tomb door.

With his strength, with a little effort, the stone pillar moved away.

Then he clasped the side of a door, and with a little force, click, the stone door opened, revealing Zhao Guodong's worried face.

Yang Xiuwen flashed out of the tomb, took a deep breath, and said, "Wait a while and then go in, let out the filth." “

Half an hour later, the crowd began to clear the mud.

As mentioned earlier, archaeology is not a tall job, but now it is more like a sewer cleaner.

First, use a larger brush to slowly sweep the mud into the dustpan, and carefully observe the possible artifacts in the mud.

Then pour it into a basin and take it to an open area on the ground for a second search.

The progress of the work was slow, and by the evening it was only a third of the way through. The doorway has been cleared.

After resting, Yang Xiuwen carefully observed the layout of the tomb, which was a two-bedroom room, that is, a main room, a two-ear room on the south side, and a back room behind the main room.

According to his understanding of Tang history, in the Tang Dynasty, two bedrooms and one living room were already very high-standard treatment.

A county order, it shouldn't be.

Zhao Guodong said happily next to him, "Xiuwen, look at this white marble door stone, which is engraved with peonies, and the gray bricks on the tomb door have rope patterns, a typical Tang Dynasty logo, you are looking at the mural of the tomb. ”

He looked at the tomb road pointed out by Zhao Guodong, there were green dragons, white tigers, and the murals at the robbery cave were damaged, but it did not affect most of the murals. There are handmaidens, maids, kabuki, and the sun, moon and stars on the top of the tomb.

After three days of cleaning, the identity of the owner of the tomb was confirmed, Li Mu, the clan relative of the Tang Dynasty emperor Li Zhi.

Yang Xiuwen also understood the reason for the high standard of the tomb system.

The coffin has rotted, and the dry bones of the nobles in the coffin are no longer formed. However, there are many funeral relics, gold, silver, and jade.

The most valuable are the colorful and beautiful Tang Sancai porcelain horses and white-glazed porcelain.

White porcelain bowl, white porcelain holding pot, slender body, unsatisfactory glaze, uneven glaze on the outsole, blue in the white, fine ice cracks, obviously with the style of the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

Due to the preciousness of the tomb murals, the clean-up work was forced to be suspended, and another mural conservation expert was sent to deal with it.

Yang Xiuwen said goodbye to Zhao Guodong on the fifth day and left to return to the city.

In Wen Bao Zhai, he learned that the master was repairing the bronze carriage in the museum, so he also ran to the museum.
