Chapter 3 High-level Meeting of the Cultural Heritage Bureau

Half an hour later, everything was ready.

Dozens of experts from the Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Bureau, as well as several senior leaders from the Cultural Relics Bureau, gathered on a dedicated conference network.

Through the Internet, a large number of experts can start synchronous meetings without any obstacles, even if they are from anywhere in the world.

The meeting had not officially begun, and there was a cacophony of voices in the virtual conference room.

"What's the matter, what's going on, I hurriedly asked the old man to come over for a meeting."

"It seems that Lao Pan is in trouble."

"Lao Pan, isn't he resting at home, what can happen?"

"Hey, you don't know your old feelings yet. Didn't Lao Pan be ordered to go to the Great Northwest to explore the ancient tombs? ”

"Ha, Lao Pan went to the Great Northwest to explore the ancient tombs, when it happened, why don't I know."

"I don't really know, it seems that a tomb robber turned himself in this morning, saying that he found an ancient tomb somewhere in the northwest. No, the situation was urgent, so the leader asked Lao Pan to be ordered to hurry up and investigate what ancient tombs were found. ”

"Oh, the unlucky thief turned himself in, this is very rare. Let's talk about it, what is the specific situation, what age is the ancient tomb, and is the damage to the ancient tomb serious? ”

"I don't know, but Lao Pan should have just arrived in the northwest, why did he call us old things over for a meeting in a hurry, I'm afraid it's not easy."

Many experts and professors are talking about it, but no one has the latest information from the Great Northwest, and they have no idea what is going on.

They could only speculate curiously, some feared that the tomb had been damaged by tomb robbers, and some expected that something new would be discovered in the tomb.

Amid their discussions, the meeting officially began.

Academician Pan Dingguo sat in front of the camera, holding a stack of thick materials in his hand, and said solemnly: "This is our integration of all the materials of the tombs in the Great Northwest, and before the official meeting begins, please take a look at it." ”

As he spoke, he transferred the e-documents that had already been sorted out to each expert's computer through the function of the virtual conference room.

These virtual materials cannot be downloaded, saved, or recorded.

At the end of the meeting, all information is automatically destroyed.

Each document has a special code, and once the intelligence is exposed, the authorities can find out where the classified documents were leaked based on the special codes of the leaked documents.

After the experts, professors and leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau got Pan Dingguo's document, they read it one after another.

At first, their expressions were quite relaxed, but as they read the documents and learned about the Great Northwest Ancient Tomb, everyone's expressions changed.

Or shocked.

or frightened.

or confused.

Ten minutes later, the room was noisy.

"Are there any mistakes in these inscription photos?"

"The old man has studied history all his life, studied history all his life, and he has never heard of such a bizarre thing."

"I think, although this thing is very bizarre, but ancient times are not modern after all, and superstition is inevitable."

"Oh, let me say that this is not a simple matter, and it cannot be explained by mere ancient superstitions. I would like to briefly mention a few of my thoughts, and you can feel free to put forward any comments you have. ”

"The first point: Basba, the official of the Great Yuan Dynasty who supervised the construction of the Demon Suppression Tower, according to the detailed information obtained by Academician Pan and their information, is a senior official of the Ministry of Industry in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, during the period of Yuan Huizong's son Zhijin Tu Timur."

"Who is Yuan Huizong's son, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. This shows that although the time of Basba's activity cannot be determined, it is certain that the Yuan Dynasty was a very turbulent period of political situation. ”

"You can think about how terrible the manpower and material resources needed to build a large-scale project like the Demon Suppression Tower in the turbulent period of the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, and how terrible the obstacles that need to be faced in building it."

But under such circumstances, the Yuan Dynasty still insisted on supervising the construction of the Demon Suppression Tower, and some people in the Manchu Dynasty may have objected, but it obviously did not prevent the construction of the Demon Suppression Tower. This shows that the people who support it, or the power that supports it, should be greater than the power of the opposition party. ”

"When the Great Yuan Dynasty was in turmoil, and the whole country was facing collapse, the Yuan Dynasty still spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build this Demon Suppression Tower, is it really just because of superstition, is it reasonable, is it possible?"

"It's very obvious that it's not reasonable and it's impossible."

"It can only be shown that in the hearts of many high-ranking officials of the Great Yuan Imperial Court, and perhaps even in the hearts of the entire imperial court, it is very necessary to build the Demon Suppression Tower, and it is also a large-scale project that must be carried out."

"The second point: the construction of the Demon Suppression Tower, according to Basbah's explanation, was to suppress a man named Xuantong."

"What is this person's ability, the inscription says that he is cruel and tyrannical, cannibal and blood-drinking, and devours souls with the power of gods and ghosts."

"Of course, we don't believe in the myths and ghosts, but there is a very interesting record in this sentence."

"Killed more than 10,000 people who were loyal to my Great Yuan."

"What does this mean?"

"That is to say, this person named Xuantong is very cruel and terrible, and he has killed tens of thousands of loyal people in my Great Yuan."

"Regarding the loyalty mentioned in the inscription, let's not count whether he refers to the ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, or the soldiers, or the people. But at least one thing can be determined that this person named Xuantong once caused a shocking tragedy in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

"But that was in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, in the 14th century B.C., and there were no modern high-tech weapons, no guns, no missiles, and no nuclear weapons."

"In such a situation, to say that one person killed more than 10,000 people, what is the first thing that comes to our mind."

"It's the plague."

"It's a contagious disease."

"A very rare infectious disease."

"So, I think that's how it happened."

"In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, a man named Xuantong somehow contracted a strange infection. The contagion rate and fatality rate of this disease should have been very terrible in those days. ”

But due to the limitations of the times, the Yuan Dynasty did not understand what the infectious disease on Xuantong was and how to treat it. They treat Xuantong as a ghost. ”

"In order to prevent the spread of the infectious disease on Xuantong's body, the Yuan Dynasty deliberately built this demon suppression tower after killing Xuantong to suppress Xuantong's body, hoping to end this infectious disease in this way."

"This kind of thing has not happened in history."

"Therefore, I think that when we excavate the Demon Suppression Tower, we should pay attention to the protection of biochemical viruses to prevent possible infectious diseases from leaking and causing unnecessary crises."

The professor's remarks drew admiration from everyone.

"Okay, Professor Zhang explained it very well and clearly."

"This conjecture is very reasonable, so we must pay attention to biochemical protection when digging the Demon Suppression Tower."

"Professor Zhang's worries are not impossible, and biochemical protection must be in place, and our comrades must not be exposed to danger."

"As for Xuantong's identity and origin, we will further look for answers from the National Historical Archives."

"Even if you can't find the historical materials of Xuantong in the national archives, I think there will be corresponding records in the Demon Suppression Tower."

The leader's words were unanimously recognized by the experts and professors present.

Eventually, they made a decision.

Do a good job of biochemical protection and carefully excavate the Demon Suppression Tower.

As for whether this mystery is a man or a god, you will know when you open the tomb.
