On the hill.
A few professionals started their work.
After keeping the bronze mirror, Teacher Chu asked. "Old Mu?"
Mu Zhengzhong nodded. "No problem. It should be right."
Teacher Meng said. "Old Mu is an expert in this field. If he says it should be right, then there should be no problem."
Teacher Chu also knew about this. He looked at the location of the hill and the moon. In the end, he took out his compass. "Is anyone familiar with this place?"
Dong Xuebing looked at the Village Secretary. "Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Cheng walked over. "I am quite familiar with this place."
"Come. I need to ask you some questions. Tell me more about Qing Luan Hill's history." Teacher Chu said.
Xiao Cheng said with a wry smile, "This mountain doesn't have much history. It has always been here. Basically, it is rich in herbs, but not much."
Teacher Chu still asked for a long time.
Xiao Cheng answered all the questions and even took out a map of the area.
Teacher Chu spread out the map on the ground and studied it with Teacher Meng. After that, they pointed at the hill for a while.
Mu Zhengzhong asked. "How is it?"
Teacher Chu nodded. "Interesting. This place has a lot of Fengshui."
Teacher Meng said, "Then let's dig it up first and verify it. Let's confirm it first."
Dong Xuebing saw the three of them discussing and wanted to dig. Although he was anxious, he still said. "Teachers, it's getting dark now. Shall we continue tomorrow? I will arrange a place for you all to rest for the night. "
Teacher Chu waved his hand. "Let's dig now and see what else we can find. I will not be able to sleep if I don't see it with my own eyes."
Mu Zhengzhong laughed. "Xuebing, help us with the searchlight."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing gave the order. "Everyone, help the teachers dig together."
Teacher Meng said. "No need. We will do it ourselves. Those who are not trained in archaeology should not do anything." If it was a normal grave, there was no need to be so careful. After all, they had not even reached the chamber. They only need to be careful when digging. However, the teachers had made such a request. None of them were at ease. From this point, it could be seen that this tomb was definitely not ordinary.
The three teachers entered the cordon.
Jiaolin County's cultural department was limited, and they had never dealt with ancient tombs before. They had no experience in this area, but the few people sent by the cultural center had some archaeological knowledge. They might not be able to do much else, but they had no problem helping the teachers.
The searchlight shone on them.
The three teachers found the tools, and each of them was in charge of an area. They also brought a few people from Jiaolin County and began to dig.
A shovel.
Two shovels.
Three shovels.
There was no professional equipment or tools here, so everyone could only use the shovels and shovels brought by their fellow villagers. They needed to control their strength. If they were too hard, the cultural relics below would definitely be damaged. Even if it was not completely destroyed, it would still be a huge loss if only a corner was scratched. Of course, this kind of situation was definitely unavoidable during excavation work, but at the very least, they had to try their best to protect it.
Dong Xuebing and Zhang Dongfang watched from the side.
The other staff members who could not help also stared at him.
The atmosphere was quiet, and only the sound of shovels digging into the soil could be heard.
Dong Xuebing had nothing to do, so he called Su Yan over and said, "You go down the mountain first and arrange the accommodation for the teachers. Also, confirm the logistical preparations of the working group members. After all, there will be people guarding the mountain from today onwards. Everything must be prepared. Food, clothing, necessities, everything must be taken care of. Don't let everyone have any worries." Su Yan nodded and said, "You can go down the mountain first.
Su Yan immediately replied. "Ok."
There was no signal on the hill, and Su Yan could only go down to make arrangements.
After the secretary left, Dong Xuebing wanted to smoke a cigarette while he waited. But after a few steps, he heard someone calling him from behind.
"There's something!"
"There's something!"
"Old Meng, Old Mu, come and help!"
It was Teacher Chu who discovered it. He was the only professional archaeologist here. The rest of them, like Mu Zhengzhong and Teacher Meng, were not experts in archaeology. Their field of expertise was more focused on the identification and analysis of relics. Their efficiency was naturally not as good as Teacher Chu.
The two teachers went up and cooperated very well. Without any hesitation, Teacher Meng began to help Teacher Chu dig. Teacher Mu, on the other hand, used a small brush to clean the soil on the cultural relic layer by layer. The object that was exposed could basically be seen. It seemed to be a sword hilt.
A few minutes later, a rusty sword was revealed.
Dong Xuebing and the rest walked over. "How is it? This is … … "
"Let Old Mu take a look first." Teacher Chu passed the sword to him carefully.
Mu Zhengzhong took the sword and looked at it with a serious expression. He stared at it for a full two minutes.
Teacher Meng, who was beside him, asked curiously. "Although the sword is almost corroded, why is this pattern … … Old Chu, have you seen this pattern before?"
Teacher Chu shook his head. "I have never seen it before. Old Mu?"
Mu Zhengzhong looked at the sword and placed it on the ground. "I have seen similar patterns before. Although it is not the same, the style and period are the same."
Teacher Chu quickly asked. "Where did you see the real thing?"
"It is not the real thing." Mu Zhengzhong replied. "It is from the documents."
The three of them discussed for a long time. In the end, Mu Zhengzhong stood up and signaled Dong Xuebing with his eyes. Both of them walked to the side, and Zhang Dongfang followed.
"Xuebing, Mayor Zhang, we have seen the items and analyzed the location. We can basically conclude that there is a tomb of a Han Dynasty emperor below, and what we are standing on now should be a burial tomb. Based on the location, there and there should also be burial tombs. Old Meng had just surveyed the surroundings, and there are no signs of grave robbers. The tomb chamber below should be complete and has great historical significance and value. I suggest we seal off this area immediately … No, to be on the safe side, it's better to seal off the entire Qingluan Mountain. After we descend the mountain, Old Chu will contact the National Archaeology Team, and we don't need to go through the City's procedures. Let Old Chu get his men to come down and excavate directly."
Zhang Dongfang got excited. "Are you sure this is the tomb of the Han Dynasty Emperor?"
Mu Zhengzhong was also excited. "Most likely. This is a major discovery in the Archaeology field!"
