The first thousand seven hundred and sixty chapters have passed away
"Back then, the archaeological team had dug three feet into the ground and almost hollowed out the entire Lijiashan. Now you should have seen the many ancient tombs in Lijiashan." After the old man returned to normal,
He opened his mouth and said:
"So, it's a waste for you to come to Lijiashan. If there was anything else that could be dug in Lijiashan, it would have been dug up by the archaeological teams long ago."
After listening to the old man's words, Qin Yu smiled, did not answer the topic, and asked: "Old man, are you a local?"
"Yes, I am from Lijiashan. I have lived here since I was a child. My whole life is about to pass and I have never left Lijiashan. Young man, let me tell you the truth. What I tell you is also a little bit about myself.
It’s selfish, because I really don’t want to see Lijiashan being destroyed again.”
The old man saw that Mo Yongxing was about to speak after hearing what he said, and quickly added: "But what I said is all true. Since you are members of the archaeological team, you only need to check the archaeological records of the previous archaeological teams in Lijiashan.
Just look at the work records.”
"Old man, since you are a native of Lijiashan, I would like to ask, old man, do you have any impressions of the archaeological excavation in Lijiashan fifty years ago in the 1970s?" Qin Yu's eyes widened.
After a moment's hesitation, he continued to ask.
"More than fifty years ago, it was so long ago that I can't remember clearly. Anyway, those archaeological team members kept digging and then carted away things one by one, not even a single brick was left.
Come on." The old man replied.
"Isn't that right?" Qin Yu showed a meaningful smile on his face, looked at the old man and said, "I wonder if the old man is noble this year?"
"Six to seventy."
"Sixty to seventy. The old man has already remembered things more than fifty years ago. Doesn't the old man really remember what happened back then? I remember that that incident caused a sensation in the entire Lijiashan. At that time
There are rumors throughout Lijiashan that the archaeological team dug up a fire cow and heard a cow's braying sound. Don't you have any impression of this?"
Qin Yu looked at the old man with a half-smile but not a smile. When the old man heard what Qin Yu said, he patted his head with a look of realization on his face, "Yes, I did remember it when you reminded me, but that's just a villager."
It’s an exaggeration. At that time, the archaeological team unearthed a bronze artifact with a bull’s head, but it was nothing.”
"Old man, I don't think I said this is a bull-headed bronze. Where did you learn about it, old man?" Qin Yu continued to ask.
"This... I heard it from people in our village. At that time, many villagers in our village were hired by the archaeological team to dig soil. These villagers came back to spread the word."
The old man answered this. Qin Yu did not ask any more questions, but changed his tone and said: "But as far as I know, the excavation work was very rushed. After digging out the cow head, the archaeological team left in a hurry.
There was not even time to complete the final cleaning of the entire tomb. At that time, the archaeological team found two villagers to guard the tomb. However, when the archaeological team came back next time, they did not continue the unfinished excavation work, but continued the unfinished excavation work.
The entire cemetery is sealed."
"I don't know about that," the old man replied.
"Since the old man is a native of Lijiashan, can you help me find out who the two villagers were who guarded the cemetery?"
"I was still young at that time, so I didn't know who was guarding the cemetery. And after so many years, maybe those two villagers have passed away."
"Then forget it."
Qin Yu spread his hands and said, "I just wanted to find the two villagers to find out in which cemetery the bull-head bronze was dug out. If I really can't find anyone, then I will have no choice but to dig around.
It has only been fifty or sixty years since it was dug up. Even if it is sealed, the soil is still easy to identify."
As soon as Qin Yu said these words, the old man's face changed. The old face could not help but tremble a few times, and then he said: "Young man, the tomb was almost dug at the beginning, so those archaeological team members chose to leave.
, There really is nothing to find. If you don’t believe it, young man, you can go find those people who were on the original archaeological team.”
"Can't find it." Qin Yu's voice became deeper, "All the members of the archaeological team fifty years ago have passed away."
"Everyone is gone, this is impossible!"
The old man seemed to have heard something he couldn't believe, and his expression became shocked. The unusual behavior of the old man also made Mo Yongxing and others look at him with a hint of suspicion.
"I just feel that only fifty years have passed, and they shouldn't all be gone." The old man also realized that his emotions were a little out of control, and he quickly explained.
"Fifty years ago, there were six archaeological team members who came to Lijiashan. The youngest one at that time was already in his early thirties, and now the youngest one is close to ninety." Qin Yu
Instead of questioning the old man's out-of-control emotions, he explained to the old man.
"That's such a pity." The old man sighed, and the scene suddenly returned to silence. It seemed that neither Qin Yu nor the old man knew what to say.
Qin Yu was silent because he thought about what he found when he looked at the information he asked Mo Yongxing to find a few days ago. In addition to asking Mo Yongxing to find the archaeological workers' documents, he also asked Mo Yongxing to find information about the archaeologists.
Among all the archaeological records related to the Dian Kingdom, there is the Lijiashan archaeological event fifty years ago.
Qin Yu would be interested in that archeology, except that the Lijiashan archeology unearthed a bronze artifact called an ox-headed tiger artifact that was representative of the Dian Kingdom.
This is a very complete and exquisite heavy bronze artifact. The origin of this bronze artifact suddenly caused an uproar in the entire archaeological community, because this bronze artifact is so exquisite. Such bronze-made memories,
Looking at the ancient civilizations in the Central Plains region, no one can reach it.
It was precisely because of the unearthed bronze artifact with an ox-headed tiger in Lijiashan that there were rumors of cows braying. Some villagers even spread the news that the archaeological team had dug up a fire-ox. At that time, the whole Lijiashan was aroused.
The villagers all ran towards where the archaeological team was. However, when the villagers from Lijia Village arrived, they found that the archaeological team had already left, leaving overnight.
These are all what Qin Yu saw from the documents. However, in addition to these, Qin Yu also discovered a very strange point, that is, the archaeologists who were involved in the complex excavation at that time, after the archaeological work was completed, all
They left Kunming, and since then, they have not been seen again in the archaeological work on the Dian Kingdom ruins.
Most people may not look at it so carefully, or even if they find it, they won't take it seriously, but Qin Yu noticed something was wrong, because, logically speaking, archaeologists are not very mobile.
In addition to excavation and restoration of cultural relics, archaeologists also have a very important point, which is to study these cultural relics.
Many unearthed cultural relics have not been recorded in history, which requires archaeologists to constantly explore and discover. Therefore, many archaeologists, sometimes until they retire, study the culture of a certain area.
As for Dian Kingdom, which is such a mysterious kingdom, there is no historical data to be found, so the group of archaeologists who excavated Lijiashan are very important, because they were also conducting the archeology of Dian Kingdom before this, and the above will not
All of them were suddenly asked to leave. Moreover, Qin Yu read the information and found that these six archaeologists took the initiative to apply for transfer. This is what puzzled Qin Yu even more.
Because, generally speaking, those who work in the field of archeology have the spirit of asking for answers, and they are all very passionate about this field. Otherwise, most people would really do this kind of work and not dig people's graves every day.
Just hiding in a secret room and studying a bunch of dead people's stuff.
This is especially true for the six archaeologists who excavated in Lijiashan, because at that time, the excavation work in Lijiashan did not receive the attention of the superiors. These six started digging purely out of curiosity about the Dian Kingdom. Such six
Is it possible for an archaeologist to suddenly leave just after digging up a heavy artifact?
There must be a reason for everything to go wrong. Unfortunately, these six people are already dead. Even if Qin Yu wants to know why these six people left suddenly, he can't find anyone. Therefore, Qin Yu decided to come to Lijiashan to see it in person.
one time.
It was only when he arrived at Lijiashan and asked some older villagers at the foot of Lijiashan that Qin Yu learned that in addition to the six archaeological team members, there were two other villagers who also participated in the entire excavation.
However, one of these two villagers had passed away six years ago, and the old people in the village could not remember who the other was. However, the old people in the village remembered that the other one was still there at that time.
A young man who is now in his seventies in terms of age has a high chance of still being alive.
What Qin Yu can be sure of is that those archaeological team members must have discovered some secret during that excavation. Perhaps it was because of this secret that they chose to withdraw from the excavation of Dian Kingdom. Similarly, the two villagers were also insiders.
, Moreover, after these six archaeological team members sealed the ancient tomb, when future archaeological team members came to Lijiashan and opened the ancient tomb, nothing was found.
This shows that someone opened the ancient tomb and took away all the cultural relics before the arrival of these archaeological team members. The most suspicious ones are undoubtedly the two villagers. However, Qin Yu believes that these two villagers did not do it for the purpose of taking away the cultural relics.
It's easy to sell antiques for money, because in that era, antiques and rags had the same price.
So what is the purpose of the people who took away these cultural relics? (To be continued)
