The first thing I did when I opened my eyes, looking towards the coffin, there was nothing, it was quiet in the cave, as if nothing had happened. I staggered towards the stone pillar, it was not a way to stay here, I had to find a way to get out.

Silence, when silence overcame fear, I was not so afraid, but my hand did not obey the call, and I trembled and crawled towards the coffin, cautiously, for fear of making any movement, and afraid that the contents of the coffin would suddenly jump out.

Closer, closer, I tried to calm my fear, and when I stood next to the coffin and looked down, a very beautiful face appeared in front of me, really beautiful. If it weren't for the fact that she was lying in the coffin, I would have thought she was just asleep.

"Eldest sister, don't scare me, I didn't mean to offend you. I prayed silently in my heart. I didn't dare to look at her again, just as I withdrew my gaze, and at a glance, I found that this palace woman was holding a bronze mirror in her hand, the size of which was like the mouth of a bowl, and the workmanship was fine and quite exquisite. "Pick it up and look at it, just take a look," the thought suddenly came to my mind, and my brain took control of my hand and reached for the bronze mirror.

Just as I was picking up the bronze mirror, an accident happened.

The body of the woman in the palace costume turned into powder in an instant, and at the position of her chest, something bulging was exposed. Holding back my fear, I reached out and took out the object, a brown paper-wrapped thing, very thin. I trembled with my hands and laboriously opened the outer layer of packaging, inside was a piece of paper, on which a bunch of words were densely written, I don't know what the text is, I can't read it, I think after I go out, find an old gentleman to translate it.

I've been trapped here for almost two hours, and I guess it's time for the eighth master to follow Lao Li out to find a helper to organize and dispatch, so I secretly put the bronze mirror and the paper on my body. I don't know why I did this, but I feel that even if it doesn't matter to me, what is written on this piece of paper will have an impact on my life later in life.

I carefully put things in the inside pocket of my underwear. To be honest, I am conflicted in my heart, as a member of the archaeological team, I have hidden things unearthed from ancient tombs, which can be regarded as illegal and undisciplined, of course, if I don't say it, others will not know.

Just when I was conflicting between whether to hide it privately or turn it in, I heard someone outside shouting my name. I hurriedly tidied up my clothes, took a deep breath, and came to the stone gate, only to hear the outside say, "Crazy, stay away from the stone gate..."

I knew they were probably going to blow open the stone gate and hide away immediately. A minute later, there was a loud bang, and the stone door was blown out of a gap for only one person to enter. The gray smoke cleared, and the first one to get in was the eighth master, I glanced at him, he seemed a little excited, probably because he saw that I was still fine, I was instantly moved, this is the brother. I walked over and gave him a bear hug.

"Crazy, it's good that you're okay, everyone is worried" Worried that the explosion would affect the inner side of the mountain, and for fear of collapse, the two of us hurriedly walked out of the cave, talking as we walked.

Out of the tomb, Lao Li, Xiao Wang, and those mercenaries all stood outside the tomb, and everyone was relieved to see that I had nothing to do.

In addition to a few people who came together, there was an extra girl in the team, about twenty-four years old, with a high ponytail and delicate facial features, belonging to the kind of girl who was very comfortable to see.

"Hello, my name is Xia Xiaotian, I have changed jobs in the army, and I used to be a demoman in the army" Seeing that I was fine, she walked forward and stretched out her hand.

"Thank you, my name is Mu Feng," I politely stretched out my hand and shook her hand. Coming all the way over, whether it was arranged by the organization or volunteering to help, I should be grateful to others, after all, she saved me.

After asking me a few questions, Lao Li sent someone to re-enter the tomb, and about a quarter of an hour had passed, and the previous explosion had not affected the mountain. I didn't go in, and there was still a residual smell of ** after the explosion in the tomb, which was very choking. I didn't like it very much, so I stayed outside and chatted with the eighth master and this girl.

This girl is an authentic Northeast girl, with a bold personality, through chatting, I know that she is a self-acquainted girl, and she will adapt to who she is with for a while, just like an old friend who has known each other for a long time.

Half an hour later, we got on the bus and drove on the way to the institute when I received a call from the head of the institute, asking me to go directly to the archaeological institute. I excused myself to go home first to report to my parents that I was safe, and took the eighth master back home, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, I secretly hid the things in my arms in the secret compartment at the head of the bed, and then hurriedly took the eighth master back to the archaeological institute.

There are only two people in the office, and the eighth master has been arranged to the lounge, only the director and me.

"Xiao Feng, have you gained anything from exploring the path this time?" the director squinted at me.

"I didn't gain anything, I just saw something strange, something I didn't believe in before, there really existed in the world, but I didn't find it. I answered truthfully, of course, I still know what to say and what not to say.

"In our archaeological industry, the most contact is the ancient tombs, corpses, and the most dealings are tomb robbers, of course, those in the outside world who listen to the wind is the rain, what archaeology is blatant tomb robbery, these don't have to be ignored. ”

In fact, I am also very conflicted in my heart, I have been working in the institute for a year, and I also know that it is a very enviable thing to have an iron job bowl in these years. However, I always felt that this temptation was unusual, and it may be that I thought too much, and the director should not have done this, besides, the director and my father are world friends, and the relationship is good, he has no reason for me to be this pawn, this time it is a fluke, if next time? Maybe something will happen.

Although I am not a master of tomb exploration, and I can't make a big contribution by using what I have learned, there is always a reason to do something.

"Xiao Feng, what do you want?" the director asked when he saw that I was stunned and didn't speak.

"Oh, it's nothing, Director, I know, if it's nothing, I'll go back first. I gathered my thoughts and replied.

"Well, it's okay, you can go back first, by the way, if you have time, come to my house for a meal." ”

"Okay, I'll visit you when I'm free. I nodded in agreement.

There is a bus in the office, but I didn't take it, so I chose to take the bus home with the eighth master. Along the way, the eighth master didn't say a word, I thought back to the scenes of the past year, although there was nothing in the institute all year round, but once something happened, there would be danger. I wasn't afraid of any danger, and I wasn't afraid of death, but I couldn't understand it. If I appoint a veteran tomb visitor with rich experience to lead the team, maybe I don't have any ideas, but I'm just a novice, I've never been in contact with any ancient tombs, and I don't have any field experience.

"Crazy, I'm home, get out of the car" I was thinking about things, and the eighth master pulled me back to reality from my memories.

"Okay, by the way, you can stay at home this afternoon, and I'll go to the director's house. "I told the eighth master in advance, and the eighth master of the province is worried.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I took a car to the gate of the director's community, called the director, and said that I had arrived, and he asked me to wait at the gate of the community, saying that someone was coming to pick me up.

A high-end community, the door is very magnificent, two stone lions sit on both sides, one steps on the stone ball, looks up and squints, and the other has something in his mouth, looking ahead. The stone lion is lifelike, just like the real thing.

After a while, the person who picked me up came, a person who looked like a housekeeper, dressed in a Tang costume, about forty years old, he came to me and asked, "Xiaofeng, right?"

I nodded yes.

"Come with me" didn't say much, turned around and walked back. I followed him, looked left and right, and when I entered the community, I found that this was a group of villas. Every family is the same room type, the area is very large, the decoration is very magnificent, and the life of the rich is different.

It wasn't long before I followed him to the door of a house. "This is the director's house, you wait here for a while," the butler said and knocked on the door.

It was a woman who opened the door, and this woman, whom I still knew, was the woman who blew open the stone door in the tomb to save me out. "Why are you here?" I subconsciously asked, and I regretted it. Because it depends on how to understand it, because after the first time I saw her, I wondered why she was here. The director is an old man in his fifties, and although he has a good relationship with my father, it is also a business dealing, and I have not heard of him having a daughter or anything.

"Oh, tell me, why can't I be here?"

"I ......"

"Xiaotian, it's Xiao Feng who is here, let the family come in" The director's voice came from the house.

"Okay, Dad"

Dad, I'll go, I slapped my brain, and then I remembered that the director was also surnamed Xia, and I was suddenly embarrassed, and my face was red to the base of my neck.

"Xiaofeng, here, sit on the sofa, don't be restrained, just be your own home, I am good friends with your father, when I was a child, I also hugged you. ”

When the director was in the archaeological institute, he was amiable, and at home too, he felt very approachable. But in fact, after this mission, I didn't have a very good impression of him. I think that the more people who smile on the surface, the more scheming they are in their hearts, and the more they are good to you on the surface, it is possible that they will stick a knife in your back at an inadvertent moment.

After all, it's in someone else's house, so it's not good to lose the courtesy. I said yes and found a place to sit down. The embarrassing thing is that Xia Xiaotian was eating fruit next to him, while looking at my very unnatural appearance, and laughed in his mouth.
