Yutian County is a county with tourism as its pillar industry. It is summer again and it is also the peak tourist season. The famous hotels are already full. However, these five newly graduated students have no social experience.

I never thought about booking a room in advance.

Even if the departure date is temporarily decided, at least the hotel should be booked before departure, right?

But none of them thought about this problem. Luo Fu'an also said that this was a "non-academic" matter and Du Lin should be responsible for it, and the blame was directly passed on to Du Lin.

Du Lin had no choice but to admit it. Fortunately, they brought tents. Du Lin and a few people found an open forest park on the edge of the county seat. They set up several tents on the grass in the park and used kerosene stoves to cook.

I bought some food and made do with the first night.

Early the next morning, several people were woken up angrily by the old park administrator. It turned out that it was too dark the night before, and no one noticed the words "No Fires" and "No Camping" written on the entrance to the park.

Du Lin said a lot of nice things to the administrator and got him two packs of good cigarettes, which stopped the old administrator from trying to call the police.

After leaving the park, Du Lin was complained by Luo Fu'an again. Du Lin didn't refute. He thought to himself, if he doesn't have the same knowledge as you brats (compared with Du Lin, everyone seems to be a brat), if not

I'm afraid the five of you will have to sleep in the car for one night.

First, I went to the cultural management department of Yutian County to file a report and showed the archaeological activity-related procedures issued by their school, which proved that the archaeological activity had been approved by the relevant national departments and was reasonable and legal, otherwise there might be trouble.

After all the formalities were completed, it was already noon. Several people found a local restaurant in the county town and had a hearty meal before heading to Liujiacun, dozens of kilometers away.

The road from the county town to Liujia Village is not easy to walk. The closer we get to Liujia Village, the more difficult the road becomes, especially the winding mountain road in the middle, with twists and turns that almost made the two female generals get carsick.

The group walked for more than two hours, a short distance of dozens of kilometers. When they entered the village, several people quickly got out of the car to stretch their sore legs and feet.

Even with Du Lin's super strong physique, he felt a little tired. He was always driving the car in front of him, and he was the one who had the hardest time.

He Wenwen was so distressed that she fanned him and poured water for him like a virtuous little daughter-in-law, which made Luo Fu'an grit his teeth with jealousy.

Du Lin asked them to rest for a while, then he found the village committee and expressed his intention to the village secretary. When the village secretary heard that there was an ancient tomb near his village, he quickly paid attention to it.

as a traveler

The small village under Youda County has never had any decent tourist attractions. If there really is an ancient tomb, with a little development and a little more effort to promote it, it will definitely bring a lot of tourists to the village. The presence of tourists means that

There is consumption, and when there is consumption, it is money!

After thinking about this, the village secretary surnamed Liu was extremely attentive to Du Lin and immediately expressed his full support for this archaeological work. He wanted people and objects to come out, as long as the ancient tomb could be completed intact.

It can be excavated or the houses and fields are destroyed.

With the support of local villagers, the next step will be much easier. The village secretary personally arranged for a village committee member named Liu Wanfu to assist Du Lin.

Liu Wanfu found a young man from his family to help Du Lin and others carry supplies and led them towards their destination.

At the same time, no one noticed that a sinister gaze was staring fiercely at Du Lin and his party...

On the way here, He Wenwen had already told Du Lin that the target of this archeology was an ancient tomb from the late Qing Dynasty. It was not too old and its natural value was not very great. Otherwise, a doctoral student would not be allowed to bring a few tombs with him.

A newly graduated master's degree student came to discover it. To put it bluntly, it was for these young people to practice their skills.

According to ancient records, the owner of the tomb was an imperial physician in the imperial palace in the late Qing Dynasty. Hearing this, Du Lin vaguely guessed something, because he remembered that the imperial physician of the Qing Dynasty named Cheng Yu was from Fuxia Province. Maybe this one was

Cheng Yu's tomb.

Cheng Yu was poisoned to death by his junior brother Shi Yunwen under the instruction of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and it was Shi Yunwen who sent his coffin back to his hometown. Du Lin regretted it so much. If he had known that Cheng Yu's grave was being dug, he should have dug up the grain.

Amei also brought her with her. After all, Shi Yunwen is now Gu Amei’s natal weapon ghost. With Shi Yunwen’s help, she can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

But it's too late to say anything now. We can only take one step at a time. If it doesn't work, just call Amei Gu.

But as the group went deeper and deeper into the forest, Du Lin discovered that it was better to forget about making phone calls. Less than five miles away from Liujiacun, the mobile phone signal lost its signal. It seemed that he could only rely on himself this time.

Finally, we arrived at the location recorded in the ancient books, which was a flat land halfway up a mountain. Du Lin looked around and found that from Feng Shui perspective, it was surrounded by mountains, with the mountains behind it facing the sun, and a small stream flowing at the foot of the mountain with a canopy in front.

Although it is not a particularly good Feng Shui treasure land, it is still quite good to be used as a ghost house. It is a bit unfair to bury a fifth-grade hospital. In Du Lin's opinion, at least one must be buried.

A second-grade official. It seems that Imperial Physician Cheng put some thought into choosing a cemetery.

According to the tomb rules at that time, the tombs of fifth-rank officials also had tomb chambers and tomb passages, but the scale of the entire tomb was not too large, only two to three hundred square meters at most.

The tombs of princes covering several acres are certainly incomparable.

Luo Fu'an took out a compass, fiddled with it in his hand, and muttered something, just like the "dividing gold and fixing acupuncture points" in the novel, which was quite serious.

As a doctoral student studying archeology, I must learn the art of Feng Shui. After all, this is how ancient people determined the location of tombs. Modern people who want to find tombs have to follow the old methods.

However, maybe our Dr. Luo is not good at studying, and he couldn't figure it out after playing with it for a long time.

Du Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so he patted Luo Fu'an on the shoulder, took the compass from his hand, adjusted the position of the astrolabe on it, looked at his watch, determined the time, and adjusted the direction of the compass in his hand.

Follow the pointer and walk up the hillside.

Luo Fu'an felt that his "academic status" had been violated and wanted to snatch the compass back, but was stopped by Miao Weijie.

"Let him look for it. He won't be able to find it anyway. The longer the search takes, the more people will be lost."

Luo Fu'an nodded, but then he thought, he had been looking for him for a long time just now, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

As soon as this idea flashed across my mind, before I could get upset, I heard Du Lin shouting: "Come over here, I found it."

So fast? Luo Fu'an couldn't believe it. He was a doctor in archeology. He, a doctor, found the location of the tomb that he couldn't find! He was also a "Doctor" (the English for "doctor" and "doctor" are both "Doctor"). What a difference.

Why is it so big?

Several people ran a few steps and came to Du Lin. Du Lin kicked away a clump of weeds with his feet, revealing a square stone. Ge Wei took a shovel and dug along the edge of the stone.

A pit was quickly dug, and a bluestone tablet was revealed in its original appearance.

Several people squatted down and observed the stone tablet carefully. Luo Fu'an first jumped into the pit and used a hard-bristled brush to brush away the soil on the tablet, revealing the inscription on it.

In the middle of the front are the four big characters "Huang Qing Gaofeng", and on the right side are engraved in slightly smaller characters "Fifth Rank Imperial Hospital Judge Cheng Gongyu", Du Lin thought to himself, it is indeed him!

On the left is a row of smaller words, "Di Shi Yun Wenli", and on the back is a row of handwriting the size of mahjong tiles. Judging from the length, it should be one or two hundred words. However, due to the age, the handwriting cannot be fully recognized, and can only be recognized intermittently: "

...On the 26th day of the reign of Emperor Guangxu... He traveled westward with the dragon... Unfortunately, he contracted an illness... He was granted the title of Xinglin Lang..." Wait for twenty or thirty words.

According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, the death of an official of fifth rank or above must be conferred by the emperor. Therefore, in order to show the great favor of the emperor, the name of the tomb owner cannot be written in the middle of the tombstone. Instead, "emperor of the Qing Dynasty" must be written first, and then the official title of the tomb owner.
