I Excavated an Emperor to Become a Wife.

Jiang Bo died, in the trench he dug to reach the main tomb.

It was Lin Hongxing who lived in the same room as him and Tan Cheng who lived in the next room who found Jiang Bo's body.

Lin Hongxing got up early as usual, and the bed on the other side was neat as usual. Obviously, Jiang Bo didn't come back that night.

Lin Hongxing was not surprised at all, because he already knew that Jiang Bo had been carrying Li Guoxian on his back all this time, digging a passage to the tomb of the owner of the No. [-] tomb in Ninghua Village at night.

Yes, secretly, because this is not allowed by Li Guoxian.

Li Guoxian is the general manager of their field archaeological team, and he is also a person who treats ancient cultural relics and ancient tombs very rigorously. Before excavating the main tomb, they first found out the burial method of this tomb.Different from the mausoleums of emperors covered with earth in the pre-Qin period, Tomb No. [-] in Ninghua Village was buried in a mountain, and the mausoleum was built in a way that almost hollowed out Qiongshan Mountain.Therefore, from the appearance of the mountain, it is an inconspicuous mountain.

Buried because of the mountain, Qiongshan, where the No. [-] tomb is located, is more than twice as large as Dejinshan, where nearly a thousand people were buried.

Later exploration luckily discovered that the mausoleum originally had two inner and outer city walls and four city gates. The total area of ​​the inner city is estimated to be 140 million square meters.It's like a vast imperial city, except that almost all the city gates have been annihilated in the long river of history, leaving only a little trace.

However, in the archaeological excavation, the most important thing is that at the end of last year, the archaeological team discovered that this huge tomb actually left a tomb door!

At that time, the location of the tomb entrance of the mausoleum was discovered. Based on the protection of the ancient tomb, entering the tomb chamber through the tomb door can better ensure the integrity of the mausoleum.

Entering the tomb through the tomb door can better protect the tomb, but it takes a correspondingly more time and budget.

The tomb passages of Tomb No. [-] were tightly blocked by huge stone blocks five meters long, one meter wide, and one meter high. It took a lot of time to remove each block stone.

Going deeper step by step, discovering too many precious cultural relics step by step, there are too many treasures hidden in the mausoleum that has hardly been stolen.

But none of these treasures can identify the owner of the tomb.

This became the biggest problem.

The funds for the archaeological team are not enough.

If the owner of the tomb cannot be studied, the existence of this tomb can hardly be announced to the world.In fact, it's not that the people above don't want to make it public, but that Li Guoxian disagrees.

He is an expert in this field, and at the same time he has his persistence. He proposed that such a large tomb that can shock the whole country, if it is announced before the research has been done, will attract too many people to visit. Work causes interference, and may also bring unnecessary troubles and attract some thieves.

To put it bluntly, this decision failed to bring certain economic benefits. In Xi'an, where there are many antiquities, a mausoleum that has not brought much economic benefits for more than ten years naturally gradually lost some necessary funds.

Without funds, the excavation work is even more difficult, and Jiang Bo has long proposed to Li Guoxian, to open up the direct access to the main tomb to explore the ditch.

"When we get to the main tomb, we will definitely know the identity of the owner of the tomb! When the funds are in place, we will announce it when it should be announced, so that our work can also be valued, and we don't have to struggle like it is now!"

Li Guoxian, who disagreed, reprimanded Jiang Bo, which also prompted Jiang Bo, who was already in a hurry, to make up his mind to secretly dig a tunnel.

Lin Hongxing discovered Jiang Bo's actions by accident, but he didn't tell Li Guoxian.He agreed with Jiang Bo's opinion at that time. Lin Hongxing felt that although Li Guoxian was an expert, he was too stubborn in some aspects. Such a well-behaved research and development method did not have much financial support, research could not be followed up, and life was much more difficult. , Lin Hongxing is not very willing to live on.

It's just that it's not easy for him to bring these things up to Li Guoxian. He is not Li Guoxian's student, and it is impossible for Li Guoxian's stubbornness to talk to him.But Jiang Bo was different. Jiang Bo was Li Guoxian's favorite student. Although he graduated from graduate school, he also worked with Li Guoxian.When he discovered that Jiang Bo had secretly dug the tunnel, Lin Hongxing turned a blind eye.

According to the past, Jiang Bo went to the big tomb with tools in the middle of the night, and would come back every morning, work with everyone, and return to the residence to rest in the afternoon.However, something was wrong that day, and Jiang Bo didn't come back when the sun went down.

Lin Hongxing didn't feel right. Thinking about this barren mountain, it would be easy for something to happen. Besides, Jiang Bo went there at night...

Thinking about it, Lin Hongxing called Jiang Bo, but was told that he couldn't get through. When Jiang Bo didn't come back until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Hongxing panicked, and hurriedly got up and knocked on the door next door.

The location of Ninghua Village is still too remote, and the villagers here have all moved away, leaving only the old wooden houses with blue tiles in the village for the archaeologists.The village without residents still maintains its original appearance without development, but there are fewer activities of livestock and children's play, and the quiet village looks even more desolate at night when it is raining lightly.

Tomorrow is Saturday, after a week of hard work, the archaeological team naturally wants to rest. Except for a few young students, the rest of the archaeological team have almost settled in Xi'an. After work on Friday, they pack their backpacks and leave early. Ninghua Village.

Except for a few students who are too lazy to run around and stay here on duty, almost no one wants to stay in this place.

What is there to stay in, not to mention no Internet or TV, the burial pit for thousands of people excavated in the early years is not far from the old house, and I feel horrified when I sleep at night.

Tan Cheng's family was not in Xi'an, and he was single. He didn't want to go back to school, and he didn't bother to travel around, so he simply signed up for duty.

He boiled two pots of hot water with the induction cooker, simply washed his hair, took a shower, and was drying his hair with a dry towel when there was a knock on the door.

After touching the glasses on the table and putting them on, Tan Cheng asked as he walked towards the door, "Who is it?"

"I, Lin Hongxing!"

Hearing the anxiety in Lin Hongxing's voice, Tan Cheng frowned, and hurried forward to open the door, "What's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Hongxing's nervous face, Tan Cheng asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

"Jiang Bo, Jiang Bo didn't come back!"

Didn't come back?These words made Tan Cheng a little puzzled, "What time is it? Why are you so nervous if he hasn't come back? You might have gone to the city by bike to have fun."

"No, he hasn't been back since last night!"

"Last night?" Tan Cheng was stunned. He has been cleaning up the bronze vessels taken out of the mausoleum with several colleagues for the past two days. I, Jiang Bo, was in charge of the on-site excavation, which is different from his job. Naturally, he didn't notice Jiang Bo today. Is there or not.

However, Lin Hongxing said that he did not come back last night...

"What's the matter?" Tan Cheng threw the towel in his hand on the table beside him and asked, "What's wrong with him, did you call him?"

"I called, but I can't get through all the time." Lin Hongxing glanced into Tan Cheng's room with a flustered expression, "Is Zhang Jun who is in the room with you not here?"

"He's not here." Looking at Lin Hongxing's expression, Tan Cheng guessed that he knew something, and asked with a frown, "Hurry up and tell me what's wrong!"

Lin Hongxing licked his lips, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Tan Cheng, "Jiang Bo sneaks to the No. [-] tomb every night to dig a ditch leading to the main tomb..."

Tan Cheng was stunned and didn't realize what it meant for a while.

After Lin Hongxing repeated it again, Tan Cheng knew that the matter was serious, and said angrily, "Why didn't you discuss it with everyone!"

"It's not me! Only Jiang Bo!"

How could Tan Cheng not know what kind of person Lin Hongxing was?This person has a serious mind and has been dissatisfied with Professor Li's actions for a long time. Even if he knew about Jiang Bo's nonsense, he would let him do it.

Too lazy to listen to Lin Hongxing's excuses, Tan Cheng ran into the room and put on the plastic water shoes, took the flashlight and said to Lin Hongxing, "There is no one at the moment, let's look for it first, if we can't find it, we will call the police." Seeing that Lin Hongxing didn't respond, Tan Cheng shouted, "What are you doing here? Hurry up and lead the way!"

Lin Hongxing also understood the seriousness of the matter, and nodded hastily, "Okay, okay, follow me." After finishing speaking, the two walked straight to Qiongshan without taking anything else.

Qiongshan is two kilometers away from where they live. They rode a motorcycle and walked along the path they used to walk for a while, and the road ahead could only be walked.

It has been raining for a long time, and the soil has long been wet and muddy. In some places, small ponds have accumulated. If you accidentally step on the soil, your knees will be submerged.

At night, Ninghua Village was so quiet that only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard in the mountains, and it was so dark that the muddy path could not be seen, only the light of two flashlights flickered left and right.

Borrowing the light of the flashlight, the two searched along the path little by little, but they found nothing.

On the left hand side is the Dejin Mountain Burial Pit excavated a few years ago. The rainy wind blew over there at night, making the sound of "hoo-hoo--", and the air sucked into the nose was inexplicably cooler .

Stepping on the muddy feet, raising and lowering the room made a double sound of "click, click, click", which made Tan Cheng feel in a trance that there were two other people walking besides him and Lin Hongxing.

"Ha, haha, this is the first time I've come here at night, and Jiang Bo is really bold." Lin Hongxing who spoke seemed to want to ease the somewhat cold atmosphere, but Tan Cheng ignored him.

All in all, he and Jiang Bo had a pretty good friendship, after all, they were both Li Guoxian's disciples, and the two of them got along well after all these years, and I hope that nothing will happen to them.

But all the way to the foot of Qiongshan Mountain, they didn't find any trace of Jiang Bo.

"Do you know where the trench Jiang Bo dug is?" Tan Cheng, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, "Let's go over there and look for it."

"I remember one time, I saw him walking alone to the northeast corner of Qiongshan Mountain, probably there."

"Well," Tan Cheng nodded, "Let's look for it."

In fact, without asking Lin Hongxing, Tan Cheng could probably guess which part and location of the tomb Jiang Bo would attack. The northeast corner is about 200 meters from the foot of the mountain, which is the easiest place to reach the main tomb.

Sure enough, when the two of them rushed to that position, a passageway sloping downward at a 25-degree angle appeared in front of them, allowing only one person to stoop in.

With the light of the flashlight, they entered the ditch, and Jiang Bo, who was lying less than ten meters away from the entrance of the passage, appeared in front of the two of them...

The eyes are wide open, the canthus are about to split, it seems to be staring at him...

Taking a deep breath, the blood on his body seemed to congeal in an instant.
