Chapter 168 Your ancestors have a lot of say down there (5,000 words long chapter)

Anling City, suburbs.

A faint cloud floated in the sky, and the sunlight penetrated through it, falling like a golden thread, casting mottled light and shadow on the top of the mountain.

The air is filled with the freshness of the newly turned soil, and together with the breeze, it is a little cool.

Several people present looked at Lin Chuan blankly.

Qin Sisi held an archaeological shovel in her hand, not caring about the beads of sweat on her forehead. She looked at Lin Chuan with a pair of bright eyes, a little surprised, but also happy: "Linchuan, that is to say, under our feet now is An ancient tomb?"

Lin Chuan looked at the trend of the mountains, looked at the traces of soil, and nodded.

At this time.

Director Su Yu came over, looked at Lin Chuan, and asked: "Comrade Xiao Lin, then... put down two shovels."

"You can try it."

Lin Chuan nodded.

Director Su Yu immediately took out his mobile phone, made a call, and called some archaeological staff over.

It didn't take long.

A group of archaeological excavation workers wearing gray uniforms rushed over with instruments and equipment.

"Director, Expert Lu, where should we dig?" the staff asked.

Archaeological expert Lao Lu looked a little embarrassed and said nothing.

Su Yu looked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan used an archaeological exploration shovel to anchor a few points, and then commanded: "Dig down seven or eight meters from here, and you should be able to dig out the brick layer of the tomb."

"Do as Comrade Xiaolin said." Su Yu, the director, echoed.

The staff immediately followed the instructions, flipped the archaeological shovel up and down, piled the soil in the distance, and started digging.

Qin Sisi is active on the front line.

Her job is to dig tombs and conduct archeology, so she is very concerned about this and is digging with an archaeological shovel.

Several people present stared closely at the staff's excavation, wanting to verify whether Lin Chuan's judgment was correct.

What I just said, whether it is looking at the mountains, looking at the soil, smelling the smell, or looking at the humidity, is all part of the judgment.

However, the final result has not yet come out. No one dares to say that the judgment is absolutely correct.

Only when the ancient tomb is dug can everyone's anxious hearts be quietly relieved.

"Linchuan, is there really an ancient tomb down there?"

Under the big tree, Shen Qianqian handed Lin Chuan two tissues and asked in surprise.

"Nine times out of ten."

Lin Chuan took the tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I saw those tomb robbers on the Internet. Before digging the ancient tomb, they also did things like looking for Longwang Mountain, but before they excavated, they would perform some incomprehensible rituals. What are they used for?" Shen Qianqian was very curious. asked.

Lin Chuan's eyes fell on the mountains in the distance and smiled: "Different factions have different methods. There are many taboos on tomb robbing, and some even burn incense."

"Then why don't you use it?"

Shen Qianqian blinked and asked with a smile.

"Our group..."

Lin Chuan was about to speak when he suddenly turned to look at Shen Qianqian: "Officer Shen, you are trying to trick me."

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, with a smile on her lips: "Comrade Lin Chuan, I'm not trying to trick you."

"I almost got tricked into it."

Lin Chuan laughed dryly and spat, "Hey... I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

"Comrade Lin Chuan, I just saw that you are skilled in technique, so I asked a little more." Shen Qianqian pinched her thumb and index finger, with a distance of half a centimeter between the two fingers.

"Qianqian, you don't know me yet. I'm a serious person. Don't always treat me as a criminal suspect." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"It's just because I know you so well. I'm not worried that you have a past that is too detailed to describe, so I want to know about it in advance." Shen Qianqian said half-jokingly.

“In a clean life, one’s record can be checked.”

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"So, you are not a tomb robber." Shen Qianqian blinked her eyes as bright as autumn water and asked sincerely.

"Well, of course not."

Lin Chuan coughed lightly and argued.

He looked at Shen Qianqian who was smiling and playful.

From being a thief to a tomb robber, I dealt with her from the very beginning.

She knows herself too well.

However, to be fair, if I rob tombs in a virtual world, I can’t be said to be a tomb robber, right?

As long as I don't rob tombs in real life, even the King of Heaven won't be able to catch me.

Right?

"Linchuan, let me ask one more question." Shen Qianqian smiled.

"You ask." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Nowadays, Internet writers are so busy. To write an archaeological novel, do you still need to know the tomb robbing skills of finding dragons and locating caves?" Shen Qianqian asked curiously.

Lin Chuan thought for a while and laughed dryly: "Juan is crazy."

The past era of online articles about broken-off marriages, rural miracle doctors, overbearing CEOs falling in love with me, and Long Aotian is gone forever.

Without some professional skills, you can't survive in the Internet literary circle.

Why……

The breeze blew with a bit of coolness, blowing a few hairs on Shen Qianqian's temples, and also blew the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Archaeological staff are also professional in excavation.

The archaeological shovel danced up and down, and shovels of soil were piled in the distance. Beads of sweat fell to the ground. It didn't take long before a hole seven or eight meters deep was dug.

The deeper they drilled, the more cautious the archaeological staff became.

Because, it is very likely that he is already close to the burial chamber of the ancient tomb.

laugh--

In a pit seven or eight meters deep, a young and strong archaeological team member stepped on an archaeological shovel and submerged into the soil again.

Suddenly, he felt that the shovel head of the shovel hit something hard, like a stone.

He immediately put away the archaeological shovel and switched to a hand shovel.

Shovel away the upper layer of soil bit by bit.

Finally, the soil was removed, revealing a flat stone underneath.

The surface of the stone is flat, as if it had been man-made.

The archaeological staff member glared and shouted: "Come on, there is something discovered here!"

The sound came from the pit, immediately alarming everyone on the ground.

"what have you found?"

Director Su Yu immediately put his head down and asked loudly.

"I...I dug to the stone brick layer!" The archaeological worker replied immediately, with a breathless voice.

Director Su Yu's eyes lit up, and his face suddenly became happy: "I dug it, I really dug it!"

Qin Sisi was very concerned. She also came over and used her shovel to clean the soil around the stone bricks, revealing a few more stone bricks.

"It is indeed here!"

She stopped what she was doing, swallowed a sip of saliva, and murmured softly.

The appearance of stone bricks undoubtedly confirmed that Lin Chuan's judgment was completely correct.

"Director, how will we dig next?"

Qin Sisi came back to her senses, looked at Su Yu, and asked.

At this time, archaeological expert Lao Lu volunteered and wanted to express himself, so he said: "Director, let me take charge next. I am familiar with this matter."

"Lao Lu, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

Director Su Yu raised his hand and pressed it.

Then, he walked quickly towards Lin Chuan, with a face full of joy and a thumbs up: "Comrade Xiao Lin, you are really discerning!"

"It's just a fluke." Lin Chuan said modestly.

This is the first time that he has used the method of "searching for dragon positioning + looking, hearing, asking, and guessing" to determine the location of an ancient tomb. So far, the effect seems to be pretty good, and he has actually found an ancient tomb.

It seems that the secret technique of touching gold is somewhat real.

"Where should we dig next?"

Director Su Yu was not without his own opinion, but now, he felt that he had to ask Lin Chuan for his opinion.

After hearing this, Lin Chuan looked up and looked at the direction of the mountains. He had a rough judgment in his mind, and smiled and said: "According to the two cultural relics seen in the cultural relics protection studio, and they can be buried in this Feng Shui treasure land, this The owner of this ancient tomb must have a high status, the lowest is the governor of a county. "

"Comrade Xiaolin's reasoning is good." Director Su Yu nodded.

“In Feng Shui, if you look at the direction of the mountains, that’s where the dragon’s head is.”

Lin Chuan raised his hand and pointed to a mountain peak, "That side is the dragon's tail, and this is on the dragon's spine. This ancient tomb should have its head facing north and its feet facing south. This is also in line with the characteristics of Han Dynasty tombs, so it wants to be protective. If you dig, you should dig south and enter from the end or side of the tomb.”

"I originally thought so." Archaeological expert Lao Lu curled his lips and muttered.

However, he has clearly fallen out of favor.

Director Su Yu's eyes were now full of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan said, 'head to the north and feet to the south.' So just follow what Lin Chuan said and dig south to find the tomb door.

The biggest difference between archeology and tomb robbing is that archeology is a protective excavation, while tomb robbing is a destructive excavation.

The latter buys and sells once, gets the treasure and leaves.

If it is Lin Chuan.

In the virtual world, he doesn't care about this. He just digs a hole, punches through the stone brick tomb, goes in, takes away the things, and completes the level.

But this is the real world.

There are many things to consider when conducting archaeological conservation excavations.

The number of archaeological workers continued to increase, and the excavation speed became faster and faster. After more than an hour, the appearance of an ancient tomb appeared in front of everyone.

This is a typical underground brick tomb from the Western Han Dynasty. Judging from the appearance, it belongs to the tomb of an aristocrat in the ancient Lingnan area.

It is indeed as Lin Chuan said.

The entrance to the tomb is on the south side.

At the entrance of the tomb, a boulder of blue-gray color stained with soil blocked everyone's view.

Apart from this entrance, there is no other entrance.

After archaeological workers cleaned up the boulders.

Lin Chuan looked up and found some animal patterns carved on the boulder, which resembled white tigers and contained animal tombs.

There are two small holes at the tiger's mouth, and the soil on the holes has been cleaned.

"Bring the cutting machine!"

Archaeological expert Lao Lu was very excited when he saw this and immediately shouted.

Finally he is in a field he is familiar with and can perform well!

Enter the tomb!

Cutting machines and electric drills are all common tools in modern archaeological teams.

When you encounter a tomb door that cannot be opened, just use the tool and cut it.

save time and energy.

As long as you enter the tomb, the subsequent work will be much simpler.

The archaeological staff immediately sent a hand-held stone cutting machine to Lao Lu.

At this time.

Lao Lu glanced at Lin Chuan and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Lin, although the location of the tomb is excellent, entering the tomb still depends on the skills of us old guys. You can take a look at me later." Cutting with this stone cutting machine is also a skill that you should be able to use in the future.”

Lin Chuan glanced at the handheld stone cutting machine and twitched his lips: "Expert Lu, there is no need to use this, right?"

"If you don't use this, what should you use?"

Lao Lu originally wanted to show off to Lin Chuan, but after hearing Lin Chuan's words, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"What if we were out in the wild without this cutting machine? Wouldn't it be impossible to enter the tomb?" Lin Chuan asked back.

This operation is a bit like some big 'clinics'.

Before seeing a doctor, you need to do a blood test, a CT scan, and a B-ultrasound as a routine procedure, otherwise you won’t be able to see a doctor.

The same is true for experts like Lao Lu.

Without modern instruments like cutting machines, we can only stare.

Obviously, the archaeological team in Anling City is not as professional as the national team. In the field of archaeology, it lacks many relatively professional inheritance skills.

Even Director Su Yu said in a daze: "Generally speaking, sealing the stone door and drilling a hole with a cutting machine or drill is the fastest way to enter."

Lin Chuan looked at Qin Sisi with a puzzled expression.

Qin Sisi also nodded.

She majored in archeology in the Department of History. The courses she taught in college were basically courses on the characteristics of tombs, characteristics of cultural relics, geographical knowledge, historical background, and protection methods of tombs and cultural relics in various periods.

As for professional skills training and professional training, they include visiting museums, visiting some famous tombs that have been excavated locally, and watching the protection and restoration of cultural relics.

After graduation.

Even the Anling City Archaeological Team may not have anyone who knows this.

Everyone used methods such as cutting stone doors and drilling holes with drills. She even took it for granted that this was the correct way to open archaeological sites.

She had only seen the secret techniques of 'searching for dragon positioning' and 'looking, hearing, asking, and guessing' that Lin Chuan showed today on the Internet.

So she felt amazing.

Yes, it's magical.

Unexpectedly, the techniques of these ancient tomb robbers actually existed.

This is a bit like the feeling that a person who has always received scientific education and believes in science suddenly sees a Taoist priest flying with a sword one day.

In Qin Sisi's eyes, Lin Chuan is the 'Taoist Priest who flies with a sword'.

This suddenly opened the door to a new world for her!

Lin Chuan was also startled for a moment and fell into deep thought. He thought to himself, yes, how could someone who knows these tomb robbing techniques be on the Anling archaeological team?

These people are either tomb robbers or in prison.

Those who are not in jail are among the most sought after by archaeological teams from all over the country.

All right.

call--

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Actually, using a cutting machine is also a good idea."

Archaeological expert Lao Lu nodded happily when he heard Lin Chuan's approval. He looked at Lin Chuan and suddenly felt that he was more pleasing to the eye. He said in an old-fashioned way: "Young man, watch and study hard!"

With that said, he carried the stone cutting machine and walked towards the stone door.

"Expert Lu, wait a moment."

Lin Chuan still stopped the "experienced" archaeological expert, "Aren't you afraid of traps if you cut open so hastily?"

"organ?"

Lao Lu looked startled, then grinned, "There is no mechanism. Two thousand years have passed since the Western Han Dynasty. The mechanism has been broken long ago. Don't be afraid."

"Do you really think so?" Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.

"I've opened the stone gates of several tombs, and I haven't seen any mechanisms. Don't worry." After seeing that Lin Chuan was a little more pleasing to his eye, Lao Lu spoke in a better tone.

"How many tombs have been opened specifically?" Lin Chuan asked.

"one two three……"

Lao Lu clapped his fingers and said, "Four, five, five in total."

Lin Chuan grinned: "Expert Lu, your ancestors have a lot of say down there."

"What's the meaning?"

Archaeological expert Lao Lu frowned.

"When you go home this time, burn two more incense sticks for your ancestors." Lin Chuan smiled, then raised his hand and pointed, "Expert Lu, you see the row of small holes on the side next to the stone door. Yet?"

Lao Lu looked at it, nodded, and asked doubtfully: "I saw it, what's wrong?"

Su Yu, Qin Sisi, and Shen Qianqian behind them also looked in the direction and saw a row of small holes on both sides.

Lin Chuan said with a smile: "If you use this cutting machine to cut the stone door, if you are not careful, arrows will shoot out from the two rows of small holes and string you together."

Lao Lu's expression changed, with a hint of panic on his face: "No way?"

"Why not?" Lin Chuan asked.

"It's been so long. Aren't all the mechanisms decayed and ineffective?" Lao Lu asked in a daze.

"We can all think of this problem. Do you think our ancestors have thought of it too?"

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

hiss!

Lao Lu and the people behind him took a deep breath, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Isn't there no way to enter the tomb?"

Lao Lu was a little puzzled.

Lin Chuan glanced at Lao Lu and said with a smile: "It is a tomb, not a death hole."

Lao Lu curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Then how should we open the stone door and enter the tomb?"

"let me try."

After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he looked around the stone gate and the ground, then found a palm-sized stone nearby and threw it out.

This style is called throwing stones to ask for directions.

Prudence and meticulousness are always the first element in finding a gold captain.

The tomb may not be robbed, but the life must be preserved.

Fortunately, under everyone's gaze, the stone rolled all the way to the stone gate without appearing unexpectedly.

Lin Chuan then walked over with confidence.

He walked to the stone door, gently raised his index finger, and knocked on the stone door. The stone door immediately made a "dong dong dong" sound, which was a bit dull.

However, it can be heard that there is a slight echo in the stone door in the sound of 'dong dong dong'.

This two-meter-high stone door is not entirely solid.

Lin Chuan looked at the stone door from a close distance and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.

This stone door seemed to be the mold of the stone door mechanism in the virtual world!

The more he looked at it, the more it looked like it!

"Could it be that the system was lazy and took materials from the real world to make a stone door mechanism mold for me?" Lin Chuan muttered in his heart.

However, Lin Chuan did not think much about it.

His eyes fell on the animal pattern that looked like a white tiger.

There were two small holes at the tiger's mouth.

Lin Chuan took a flashlight and shone it in. There were many protruding small pieces, like the convex surface of the mechanism. Then, Lin Chuan reached in and touched it.

Huh?

This concave and convex feeling is exactly the same as the stone door mechanism mold in the virtual world.

Lin Chuan will not forget this feeling.

This is his first time to open the stone door mechanism!

After confirming the stone door mechanism, Lin Chuan inserted two fingers into the small holes of the stone door, touched one of the protruding points, and suddenly exerted force!

Two fingers explore the hole!
