Please, don't make wood into a relic

Chapter 25 The Lost Coffin, Foggy
Chapter 25 The Lost Coffin, Foggy
Although the horizontal passage below the well bottom is spacious, it is very tortuous.

A dozen or so archaeological team members entered it, all carefully exploring the front with crutches.

Perhaps due to the seepage of well water, not only was sewage dripping from the top of the channel, but the ground was also very slippery.

A female doctor in a red jacket just stepped on the smooth stone slab without paying attention.

Her body immediately lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.

When she fell, she put her palms under her body to ease the impact, but when her palms hit the ground, she felt something sticky and fluffy.

The female doctor slowly put her fingers in front of her eyes, and found that it was black blood. She turned sideways suddenly, and irradiated the place where she had just fallen with a flashlight, and found a bloody dead mouse.

"what!"

The female doctor turned pale with fright and screamed.

Qin Xiao quickly ran to the back to check the situation. The former pointed to the dead mouse on the ground in horror.

"It's okay, it's just a dead mouse, a false alarm."

"I just walked through this section, there is no danger, just be careful when entering the underground palace."

Qin Xiao quickly said a lot of comforting words, and the female doctor's mood gradually stabilized.

After a few minutes, everyone continued to move forward, bypassing several corridors, and finally came to the main entrance of the underground mysterious palace.

At this moment, a dozen or so archaeologists were all standing in front of the gate in astonishment.

There is no other reason.

It is really that the gate of this underground palace is too grand, and it is all built with huge stones.

The horizontal width is seven or eight meters.

In front of the stone gate, there are two lifelike stone unicorns, which look extremely fierce.

There is a wordless stone plaque hanging above the gate.

"It's so spectacular, I didn't expect such a scene in Deling."

Li Tai pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and carefully looked at the stone gate in front of him.

These two half-opened stone gates have many patterns carved out of them, with pictures of birds, animals, and figures on them.

It even records some stories about Emperor Tianqi when he was young.

He Hongzheng focused on the two stone unicorns, kept taking pictures, and sighed again and again: "I went to the Longmen Grottoes in my early years, and I have never encountered such exquisite stone carvings there."

"This is really ingenious. If it is excavated, our country will have two more national treasures."

Wu Guanan also couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart: "Yes, yes, this is the first time this old man has encountered such a strange stone gate in the mausoleum. Perhaps, this will be the first time in the archaeology of Xia Guo's mausoleum."

Qin Xiao showed disdain, and poured a few words of cold water: "Don't forget, who said the entrance to the underground palace before, and who was trying to veto this idea?"

Wu Guanan and Li Tai looked at each other, choked up speechless, not even in the mood to study Shimen anymore.

He Hongzheng was also full of embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

After a while, a sentence came out of He Hongzheng's mouth: "Old Qin, we were the ones who wrongly blamed you before, all right. The entrance to the underground palace has been discovered, so don't worry about the past."

"The most urgent task now is to enter the underground palace to rescue those precious cultural relics."

Wu Guanan and Li Tai also apologized to Qin Xiao insincerely.

But Qin Xiao didn't buy it: "I don't want you to apologize to me, but to apologize to Brother Zhang. He was questioned by you before, and now the truth is revealed..."

Before Qin Xiao could finish speaking, He Hongzheng dragged the other party away: "Okay, the matter is over, so don't hold on to trivial matters."

Hearing this, Qin Xiao had nothing to say.

These old guys, obviously they were wrong, just refused to admit their mistakes and tried their best to escape.

Extremely hypocritical.

When Wu Guanan and Li Tai saw that Qin Xiao had shut up, they also kept their eyes open, thinking that this old Qin was too disrespectful.

In front of so many students, he insisted on exposing the pain points of himself and others.

Besides, it's just a small argument, if you are wrong, you are wrong, do you have to wait for someone to come to the door to apologize to that kid?
Besides, that kid is not from the archaeological team.

Why protect an outsider like this?
Wu Guanan and the others all felt that Qin Xiao's elbow was turning outward.

Not much speculation.

Because of the argument, several people did not speak again in a short period of time, and the archaeological vanguard only stayed outside the underground palace for a while before returning the same way.

Originally, I planned to enter the underground palace for a little exploration.After the quarrel, several people broke up unhappy.

Exploring the underground palace has also become a daytime task tomorrow.

……

……

In the early morning of the next day, according to the location of the entrance to the underground palace reported last night, the archaeological team made a huge exploration square directly above the stone gate, saving the trouble of detouring from the bottom of the ancient well.

After exhausting all the poisonous gas at the front of the underground palace, the archaeological team entered the underground palace in large numbers through the main entrance.

In the middle, many dangerous areas were eliminated through some high-tech means.

Near 11 o'clock, the Yanyun University professor group has arrived at the main tomb of Emperor Tianqi.

As soon as they entered it, many scholars were stunned.

The main tomb chamber, which was originally imagined to be quaint and grand, full of treasures, turned out to be a mess.

There are many broken clay pots, porcelain, and even half-rotted silk fabrics on the ground.

There are also many wooden products that have become wood slag and buried in loose soil.

It was as if a catastrophe had just been experienced here.

A group of experts were surprised to find that the altar where the coffin should have been placed had no inner and outer coffins!
According to historical records, Emperor Tianqi was buried with Empress Zhang, so there should be two coffins on the altar in the main tomb.

But now not only is there no coffin in the main tomb, but there is no coffin in the other small tombs of the imperial mausoleum.

Archaeologists searched the underground palace, but found no abandoned corpses.

The coffin of Emperor Tianqi is gone!
The queen's coffin is gone too!
Even most of the funeral objects disappeared inexplicably!

He Hongzheng, the chief commander of the archaeological team, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. The recent tomb robbery case is likely to be a serious case.

The missing coffins, bodies, and a large number of funerary objects were most likely stolen by tomb robbers.

"It's so insane, even stealing coffins! These bums are not afraid of having a son without a butt!"

"This must be such a huge loss, this frankly empties the entire imperial tomb!"
