There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning.
Lu Cheng pulled two suitcases and followed his father out.
A domestic four-wheel-drive SUV parked at the door, with two people already sitting inside. One was Lu Tianming's colleague, Lao Huang, who was proficient in jade from the Cultural Affairs Bureau, about fifty years old; and the driver "Xiao Chen" was relatively young.
, less than thirty years old.
Lu Cheng put the suitcase into the trunk and saw his father and Lao Huang sitting in the back seat, so he sat in the passenger seat.
As soon as he got in the car, he took the initiative to say hello with a smile: "Brother Chen, how many hours will it take to drive here? If you feel tired, you can do it for me. I also have a driver's license."
The driver, Xiao Chen, smiled and declined: "The distance is not too far, it takes about five hours to get there. Xiao Lu, how many years have you had your driver's license?"
"Two years, but I haven't driven much."
"Then you need to practice more. This road not only has highways, but also rugged mountain roads. To be honest, it's a bit dangerous."
After hearing what he said, Lu Cheng stopped talking, fastened his seat belt, took out his mobile phone, and started reading online novels.
Lu Cheng liked martial arts novels when he was a child. He read Jin, Gu, Liang, Huang, and Wen when he was in junior high school. Unfortunately, these old gentlemen died, died, and stopped writing. There were no new books coming out, so he could only read online novels.
, including fantasy, fairy tales, cultivation, time travel...
He has a special liking for cultivation novels. Because of this, he has a very strong interest in cultivation. After several years of sitting meditation, he has reached the point where his limbs are warm and his Dantian is slightly warm. This is the basis for opening up the big and small heavens. If there are still people in this world
In the world of cultivation, it is equivalent to approaching the Qi refining stage.
However, despite practicing for several years, he has no miracles. He does not have the fist strength to kill a cow from across the mountain, nor the leg skills to jump ten meters away, nor can he fly in the air like a bird and overcome the center of the earth.
gravitational.
The car drove forward quickly, and the scenery on both sides kept changing.
Lu Cheng didn't care too much about the scenery outside the car. He was immersed in the world of novels.
At 12 noon, the bus arrived at Wulian County.
The group got out of the car and had lunch, then continued on their way. After driving for more than an hour along the narrow cement mountain road, they came to a wilderness.
The car stopped and everyone got off.
Lu Cheng looked up and saw a large mountain of seven or eight hundred meters high standing in front of him. Next to the mountain, there were two round hills tens of meters high. The hill on the left was much shorter, with heads on it.
It was shaking, and there were many people working. The hills on the right were quiet, and no one could be seen. It seemed that no ground had been broken yet.
While watching, Lao Huang praised: "Hey! These two earth-sealing platforms are not small! Who would have thought that such a hill could actually be used to seal ancient tombs!"
Lu Tianming also praised: "The sealing ruins of this scale are even more magnificent than the Mojiaoshan ruins."
Lu Cheng also has a family background. He likes to watch archaeological documentaries and knows that the Mojiaoshan site is a representative of Liangzhu culture.
The Mojiaoshan site is located 25 kilometers northwest of Hz City. The central mound of the site is about 670 meters long from east to west and 450 meters wide from north to south. The total area is about 300,000 square meters and the soil layer is 10.2 meters thick. There are three large earth platforms.
The small mounds form a tripod: Wugui Mountain in the south, Xiao Mojiao Mountain in the north, and Big Mojiao Mountain in the east. The entire artificially built huge mound platform is like an "earth pyramid."
The two mounds of sealed earth in front of us are fifty meters high, and their momentum exceeds that of the large earthen platform in Mojiao Mountain.
Lu Cheng turned around and looked around and saw many cars, buses, cars, and several excavators parked nearby.
At this time, Lu Tianming had already taken the lead and walked forward.
Lao Huang and Xiao Chen followed.
Lu Cheng walked at the end, moving along a path towards the hills.
When I came to the foot of the hill, I saw a cordon surrounding it, and a sign beside it that read, "Ancient ruins, no one allowed to enter."
There are also about a dozen soldiers in camouflage uniforms standing guard around the area, responsible for maintaining public order and preventing outsiders from taking photos.
A young girl, who must be an archaeological team member, came up to Lu Tianming and said with a smile: "Teacher Lu, Teacher Huang, welcome you two."
Lu Tianming asked: "Xiao Li, to what level have you dug the soil?"
The girl replied excitedly: "Five layers have been dug, revealing the chariot and horse pits, the burial tombs, and the top of the cairn. Teacher Lu, hurry up and take a look! The chariot and horse pits alone are amazingly big!" Seven vehicles, 28 tigers, 35 giant bears, 48 leopards, and dozens of bears have been found... In addition, there are also some large bird bones..."
"What? Isn't there just one bird?"
"Teacher Lu, you don't know that in the chariot and horse pit at the right rear of the tomb, the chariots are pulled by huge birds. I don't know exactly how many there are."
When Lu Tianming heard this, his eyes shone, and he quickened his pace unconsciously, saying as he walked: "A giant bird pulling a cart? It's really unbelievable!"
Lu Cheng also became excited and thought to himself: "Is it possible that the immortal's tomb has been dug up? Is there a nine-dragon coffin?"
Of course, such words cannot come out of his mouth. This is the 21st century, an era that emphasizes science and breaks down superstition. Moreover, this is a national archaeological site. If he talks nonsense, his father will lose face. .
Several people walked quickly up the hill and faced the archaeological site.
The archaeological site is very large. The top of the hill is flattened, and it is more than 500 meters long and 400 meters wide. There is a huge stone mound in the center, which is square in shape, with a side of more than ten meters long, and is covered with exquisite patterns.
There are eight burial tombs in front of the cairn. Only one is being excavated. The remaining seven have been marked and have not yet been excavated.
Behind the cairn, there are two chariot and horse pits. Each chariot and horse pit is more than a hundred meters long and thirty meters wide. The chariot and horse pit on the left side was dug out, revealing the skeletons of tigers, leopards and bears. ;The chariot and horse pit on the right is being excavated.
In addition, not far from the cairn, there is a circular altar, which is actually a huge piece of jade! It is completely carved!
At this time, many people were wandering around the cairns, altars and chariot pits. Some were carefully excavating, while others were studying excitedly. Drones were flying in the sky to record and take pictures. This is a national-level archeology, and every step is There are records.
Someone brought a confidentiality agreement and asked the newcomers to sign one by one.
Lu Tianming and Lao Huang both signed seriously; Lu Cheng also signed without saying a word.
After signing his name, Lu Cheng followed his father to see the tiger, leopard and bear.
"This is not an ordinary tiger, this is a saber-toothed tiger. It is more than five meters long. Look at this tooth, which is at least 25 centimeters. It is said that the saber-toothed tiger became extinct 10,000 years ago. I didn't expect that there was a cart puller here. Sabre-toothed tiger…”
"This is no ordinary bear. This is a short-faced bear that has long been extinct. It is over three and a half meters tall..."
"This should be a prehistoric black panther, much larger than the existing leopard..."
As Lu Tianming spoke, he kept praising him, his expression was so excited that it was hard to restrain himself.
Lu Cheng stared with wide eyes, full of doubts in his heart: "Dad, don't you think this is weird? Who knows how to use tiger, leopard and bear bears to pull a cart?"
Lu Tianming smiled broadly and said: "You are still young, read more and talk less! Just wait for the excavation results. Just like the Sanxingdui ruins, when the bronze statues were unearthed, weren't they astonishing? This is the meaning of our existence as archaeologists.
, discover ancient monuments, study history, and reveal the truth.”
Then, he walked towards the chariot and horse pit on the other side.
