"I know that in your heart you think I am an old scholar, a stubborn old man who doesn't know how to adapt to anything. You don't know how disgusted you are with me. If it weren't for my age, you would even want to beat up this bad old man like me.
Get dizzy."
Professor Wang looked at Qin Yu with sharp eyes, but Qin Yu touched his nose and did not answer. This was regarded as acquiescing to Professor Wang's words.
"Let me tell you a story." Professor Wang withdrew his eyes from Qin Yu and looked at the four worshippers. Then he slowly said: "Forty years ago, I followed the teacher to dig an ancient tomb.
You should also know the national conditions at that time. Many cultural relics had been destroyed. It can be said that nearly half of China's two thousand years of historical cultural relics were destroyed in that era."
"At that time, not long after the chaos was brought to order, the ancient tomb was discovered. Although no one cared about it like before, at the same time, there were not many people who cared about it, and no funds were allocated from above. It was my teacher who listened to it.
After hearing the news that farmers were digging up cultural relics nearby, and applying to the higher-ups, I spent my own money and took myself and two other students, a total of four people, to the location of the ancient tomb thousands of miles away."
"The excavation at that time was very hard. To put it bluntly, even the shovels were not as strong as they are now. When they came into contact with the underground soil, they had to break it off bit by bit with their hands. Just to dig out this ancient tomb
The sealing of the soil took nearly two months."
During Professor Wang's narration, a picture emerged in everyone's mind. In the desolate and barren hills, an expert in the archaeological field, with his three students, used shovels, hands, and iron to
Use the shovel to dig out the ancient tombs buried deep in the ground.
However, Professor Wang's teacher was already old and tired after working hard for two months. Professor Wang was responsible for the excavation work. Of course, the so-called responsibility was just a nice word.
The real situation is that Professor Wang and his two classmates faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky, repeating the boring excavation work.
Fortunately, hard work paid off. After a week, Professor Wang and the others finally dug the tunnel to the tomb. Then, they dug diagonally down the tunnel to reach the real tomb door.
Here, I would like to share some knowledge with you. The so-called tunnel is generally a passage that goes downwards in an ancient tomb. The ancients dug tombs underground. To clean out the soil, you need a passage to the ground.
The corridor is such a passage. The slanted passage can facilitate the entry and exit of carts. In this way, the excavation work of the tomb will undoubtedly speed up, especially after the carts were built, almost all large-scale
Tombs and corridors all have this form of sloping down.
In fact, the excavation of ancient tombs is divided into two modes. One is that the ancient tomb has collapsed. For this kind of ancient tomb, you must first determine the scope of the entire ancient tomb, and then excavate directly from above in all directions.
.
The other kind is that the ancient tomb has not collapsed and is still intact inside. For this kind of ancient tomb, you need to find the corridor of the ancient tomb, and then dig through the corridor to the tomb door. As long as the tomb door is opened
Open it and you can enter the tomb.
There is no doubt that the ancient tomb that Professor Wang excavated was a well-preserved ancient tomb that had not collapsed.
When they dug to the tomb door, Professor Wang was very excited, and his two classmates were also very excited. Originally, Professor Wang planned to tell his teacher the news immediately, but at that time, mobile phones were not as convenient as they are now.
It is simply a luxury product. If you want to contact your teacher, you have to leave the mountains and walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to get to the hospital in the town.
At that time, Professor Wang's two classmates couldn't wait to open the tomb door, because this was their first time to participate in archaeological excavation work, and they were able to dig out a well-preserved ancient tomb for the first time.
The excitement can be imagined.
Of course, Professor Wang at that time would not have known how lucky they were. How many archaeological experts had not been able to dig out a well-preserved ancient tomb in their entire lives, and it was a pity.
So, in this tense and exciting mood, Professor Wang and the other three finally chose to open the tomb door directly, thinking that after telling the teacher, the teacher would ask them to open the tomb door anyway, so it would be better to do it now.
Just open the tomb door.
It took the three of them half a day to finally open the tomb door. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Professor Wang and the three young men immediately braved the door and walked into the tomb chamber.
However, that action was the one that Professor Wang regretted the most in his life.
"Do you know what happened in that tomb?" Professor Wang looked at Qin Yu and asked.
Qin Yu was silent and did not answer. The four worshippers also remained silent. Only Professor Qi and Professor Zhang had shock on their faces and looked at Professor Wang with expressions of disbelief.
"Yes, it is weathered. All the cultural relics inside have been weathered because of the intrusion of the three of us. The funny thing is that in order to disperse the death energy in the tomb, the three of us also found banana leaves and faced them
The door of the tomb is fanned." No one answered, Professor Wang smiled mockingly and continued.
"Teacher Wang, we have never heard of this matter?" Professor Qi said. If such a thing really happened, it would definitely shock the archaeological community, but for so many years, they have never heard this news.
.
"That's because my teacher hid his disappearance in order to protect the three of us, and told the public that the ancient tomb had collapsed."
Professor Wang had a look of pain on his face, because if this matter spread, it would be impossible for him and his two classmates to gain a foothold in the archaeological community in this life, and they might even go to jail for it.
"Over the years, every time I think about this matter, I feel very painful in my heart. It was a well-preserved ancient tomb. Hundreds of precious cultural relics were completely destroyed because of the three of us.
I once asked my teacher why he concealed the truth and even wanted to bring the truth to light in order to comfort his conscience."
"Then my teacher only said one thing to me. He said: "If you have committed a mistake, then use your own life to repay it. If you have destroyed hundreds of cultural relics, then go dig and discover thousands more."
Thousands of cultural relics, protect these cultural relics to atone for your sins."
When Professor Wang said this, he paused, "So, since that incident, I will be extremely careful for every archeology. There is no absolute certainty. I would rather keep this ancient tomb there than leave it there."
It revealed that I even know that there are some people in our industry who think I am too rigorous, a little too rigorous."
"But I would rather be rigorous ten thousand times than see any cultural relics destroyed under my eyes, because I want to atone for myself. These are the precious treasures left by our country."
Professor Wang suddenly stood up from the ground, and then bowed deeply towards Qin Yu, "I hope you can understand the thoughts of a guilty person. The tomb of Qin Shihuang is definitely the most mysterious emperor's tomb in history.
Every cultural relic here is extremely precious. I hope you can protect every cultural relic here. On behalf of all people in the archaeological community, I beg you!"
Professor Wang's bow made Qin Yu silent. Professor Qi and Professor Zhang stood up quickly and bowed to Qin Yu, "Mr. Qin, I'm begging you."
After a long time, Qin Yu finally nodded, "I will pay attention."
With Qin Yu's words, Professor Wang and the other three breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the group of people redistributed their teams. Naturally, Professor Wang and the other three were unable to climb the heavenly steps, so they were accompanied by a worshipper.
, while Qin Yu and the other three worshippers continued to move forward, climbing the stairs to the sky.
According to the record on the stone tablet, there are a total of 18,888 steps in the Tongtian Stairs. If each step is 30 centimeters, it is at least 5,000 meters away. This is no longer the distance to the ground.
It's so simple, this is really going to lead to the blue sky.
Of course, Qin Yu also knew that this Heaven-reaching Level must be weird. Otherwise, if it really got out of the ground, it would be impossible for no one to notice it at such a height.
What's so weird about this Tongtian Step can only be known if you climb it.
The three worshipers who followed Qin Yu were not weak in strength. They were all at the fourth level. However, when the four of them had walked more than 5,000 steps, Qin Yu suddenly stopped.
"Did you hear anything?" Qin Yu raised his ears and asked the other three.
"No." The three worshipers shook their heads in unison. They heard nothing but their own footsteps.
"Be careful, something is wrong."
Qin Yu's expression became serious. Although the scenes he encountered along the way were very shocking, as an imperial mausoleum, it still lacked an important point.
That's the danger. The emperor's mausoleum is not so easy to enter. There are many agencies. If you are not careful, you may be buried under the agencies. But now that they have reached the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, the agencies they have encountered are only blocking them.
The road will not bring any danger to them at all, which is obviously abnormal.
Even half of the emperors would know how to design mechanisms in their tombs to prevent tomb robbers from entering. As the only emperor through the ages, how could Qin Shi Huang not be prepared in the slightest?
Instinct tells Qin Yu that the road ahead may not be easy. (To be continued)
