Seeing that she was embarrassed to say it, the considerate Professor Chen waved his hand and comforted: "It's okay."
Then, he walked to the edge of the sand pit, looked at Hu Ming and asked doubtfully: "Comrade Xiao Ming, how do you know this is not quicksand?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Hu Ming, who just jumped in without any scruples.
Hu Ming looked at the crowd helplessly and said angrily: "Don't you know that the speed at which the quicksand moves downward will bring about a huge pulling force?
Xiaoye was submerged up to her waist in the quicksand just now. If it were quicksand, I am afraid that Yang Xueli would be pulled down too, and she would not be able to catch Xiaoye at all.
Secondly, if I guess correctly, it is empty down here, so you can see the sand moving under Xiaoye."
"Comrade Xiao Ming, you said it's empty down there, so what's there?" Professor Chen looked confused.
Isn't it an ancient tomb?
"I don't know what it is. If you want to know, just dig out the sand yourself!" Hu Ming shrugged.
At this time, Hu Bayi suddenly walked up to Yang Shirley and asked: "What happened just now?"
Hearing this, Yang Xueli said: "Xiaoye and I came here to relieve ourselves, but Xiaoye suddenly fell down. I thought it was quicksand."
Hu Bayi was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said: "As long as you're fine, be more careful next time..."
Hearing this, Shirley Yang smiled and nodded.
At this time, everyone else started to use tools to clean the sand, especially the fat man who worked the most vigorously.
Soon, a big pit was cleared and I saw it.
This is a stone tomb under the desert, but a hole has been blown out. It is obvious that the tomb robbers have visited it, but to the archaeological team, it is like discovering a new world.
They got in. This was a single tomb chamber. There was no side chamber. This single tomb chamber was quite large.
However, the coffin boards were lifted and scattered all over the floor, and even the body was missing.
There is also a large backpack of explosives inside. "This is..."
Hu Bayi knew a lot about explosives. At a glance, he knew that this was a famous new explosive from abroad. He picked some explosives to take with him. Seeing this, Hu Ming immediately put away the rest. The fat man searched inside carefully.
Get up.
Finding nothing, Fatty was very disappointed.
"Xiao Sa, Xiao Chu, please prepare the information carefully and take photos." Professor Chen said to Sa Di Peng and the others. Looking at the stolen coffin, his whole face became extremely gloomy.
"These crazy tomb robbers will not die well." After cursing, Hao Aiguo felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he kept cursing.
"Hey, Professor Hao, you're not good at scolding, how about I help you scold me?" Fatty volunteered, but he was speechless in his heart. If he was a tomb robber, he would be scolded by you.<
/p>
Professor Chen looked at the three brothers Hu Bayi and then turned his attention to Shirley Yang.
Then he slowly said: "I deeply hate these tomb thieves. They destroy ancient tombs and sell cultural relics just for a small amount of money. It's really abominable. We are doing protective excavations to find ancient secrets through ancient tombs."
”
After saying this, he lamented again and again, with discomfort written all over his face.
Yang Xueli didn't speak, and a strange expression appeared on her pretty face. My grandfather was also a tomb robber.
"That's right, tomb robbers are really abominable, damn it, damn it." Hu Bayi scolded Professor Chen, seemingly hating the tomb robbers on the surface, but Hu Ming, Fatty and Yang Shirley looked at him strangely.<
/p>
He coughed awkwardly and asked, "These tomb robbers have stolen all the corpses. Could it be that..."
"Comrade Xiao Hu, in our country it is not only the artifacts that are valuable, but even the mummies are priceless. Like the mummies in the pyramid, their internal organs are hollowed out and stuffed with antiseptic herbs to keep their bodies from decaying.
”
"There is also a method of mixing charcoal and salt to dry the corpse, but these methods are not effective. For example, the mummies in the desert in our country are naturally dried under bacteria-free conditions and are very valuable." As soon as Professor Chen finished speaking, the fat man asked: "What is it worth? How much is it?"
This is the first time Fatty has heard that corpses can still be valuable, and it seems to open a skylight for him to make a fortune.
"At an auction house in the West, a mummy in our desert was auctioned for a sky-high price of one million, and was finally sold for eight million." Professor Chen lamented that many of his country's treasures have ended up overseas.<
/p>
Fatty and Hu Bayi were both stunned. Oh my God, what’s the price?
They looked at each other and were shocked.
"Mingzi, do you know?"
Fatty and Hu Ming rushed back first and mysteriously pulled Hu Ming aside.
He also looked back at An Liman, and when he saw that An Liman did not follow him, he was shocked and said: "Professor Chen said that desert mummies are very valuable in the West, how many millions can they be sold for?"
"Of course I know, but don't even think about such immoral things as selling corpses, fat man."
Hu Ming has his own bottom line and can take the funerary objects in the ancient tomb.
It would be best to take them all, but selling corpses? He won't do it.
Is it immoral? The fat man thought about it and seemed to think so.
Not long after, Professor Chen and others also came back. Hao Aiguo was still cursing and hating the tomb robber.
"Judging from the traces of the stone explosion, these tomb robbers should have robbed the tomb a few days ago and have not gone far. We will set off early tomorrow, chase them and snatch the corpses back." Sa Di Peng said through gritted teeth. This guy seems to be very brave. How dare he snatch things from those tomb robbers?
Hu Bayi and three brothers were speechless and glanced at this nerd. The idea is a good one, but are you sure you can do it?
When Hu Ba saw Yang Shirley looking at him, it seemed that something was wrong, but the next moment, Yang Shirley looked away.
After thinking about it, Hu Bayi led Hu Ming and Fatty to Shirley Yang, and everyone began to do their own business.
Set up a tent and light a fire.
"Shirley, just tell me if you have something to say, don't hesitate?" Hu Bayi raised his head and gently pulled Yang Shirley's clothes.
Yang Xueli looked back at Hu Bayi and the others, and after thinking for a moment, she said slowly: "I'm worried that these tomb robbers have firearms in their hands. Once they encounter them, in this vast desert, it will definitely be a life and death battle."<
/p>
In fact, she wanted to say that these tomb robbers had been in the desert for so many days. They would definitely do crazy things when they saw her and Ye Yixin. After all, what is a condiment in the desert? Of course.
They are.
Hu Bayi frowned. After hearing this, he also understood Yang Xueli's worries, but what's the use? They are already here. If they meet, they can only fight with those tomb robbers.
"It's okay, I brought a gun..." Hu Ming suddenly said when everyone was silent.
"Where did you...get the gun...", the fat man said a little confused.
"Don't worry about it. Old Hu will come to my tent later and I will give you some things." Hu Ming said calmly.
When Hu Ba saw that Hu Ming didn't want to say more, he didn't follow the fat man's words and ask any more questions.
In the evening, after dinner, everyone sat together and chatted with each other.
Sa Dipeng, Professor Chen, Ye Yixin, An Liman, and Chu Jian all went back to their tents to sleep. There were only four people beside the campfire. The firelight shone on their faces, making them blush, and they (except
Hu Ming) always has a black backpack with talismans painted on it.
This is the backpack Hu Ming prepared for them. There were originally three backpacks, one of which was his own. However, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that Yang Shirley will be his sister-in-law in a short time, and he will have to give up his own.
Give it to her. After all, it doesn’t matter whether he wants it or not. He has system space anyway.
This backpack contains some guns and weapons, as well as glutinous rice, etc. As for the talismans on the backpack, they were painted by Hu Ming himself. When he robbed the tomb of Prince Gu Mo, he got the "Maoshan Talisman".
It's just that if you want to draw the talisman of "Maoshan Talisman", you must have the support of spiritual power. Fortunately, Hu Ming has made some progress in the "Marrow Cleansing Art" and has cultivated a few strands of spiritual power in his body.
Hu Ming used this spiritual power and black dog blood to draw a successful charm on the bag with his fingers.
Of course, Hu Ming also made mistakes many times, and the backpack tent he is wearing now has black graffiti on it.
After I became fully familiar with the Celestial Master's amulet, I painted on these three bags.
But Hu Ming was exhausted every time he drew the talisman.
At this time...
"Fat Man, Lao Hu, Mingzi, I am really grateful to you for this journey."
Shirley Yang suddenly said.
The words caught Fatty and the others off guard, and they all looked at Yang Xueli in confusion, wondering why she suddenly said this.
There seems to be something in the words.
"Actually, the reason why I want to search for the ancient city of Jingjue is, firstly, to find clues about my father, and secondly, because I often have the same dream?" Yang Xueli hugged the silk hair in front of her forehead, with a hint of melancholy on her pretty face.
