God, he always changes me

Early the next morning, Lu Mei and Jiang Zhe got up and rushed to Mengxin City.

Mengxin City is a second-tier city, and the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty discovered this time is in a remote village.Coincidentally, there is a tomb under the Maozhu Mountain where the villagers have lived for generations. If an old man did not trip over a bluestone while passing by, this ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty might never see the light of day.

Because it is an ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it has a long history, and whether the contents inside are broken into slag or well preserved can cause a sensation.In order to avoid unnecessary complications, the news of the discovery of the tomb in Mengxin City is still in the blockade stage, and the villagers have also been subjected to ideological work, most of them keeping their mouths tight.In other words, the discovery of the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty is known to no one except the students of the two schools of a* University.

After changing cars several times, Lu Mei and Jiang Zhe took another two hours on the winding mountain road to Shixi Village.After getting out of the car, Jiang Zhe's brows did not loosen.Lu Mei is okay, after all, she is a child from the countryside, but she was a little surprised to see this mountain village in the valley.

Shixi Village is said to be a village, but more than [-] families have built a few earthen houses around the mountain.The road is made of rammed earth, which is firm on sunny days, but slippery on rainy days, and you will have to fall if you are not careful.The basic condition for coming to Shixi Village is to be able to withstand the hardships of the cleaning work in the next week.

Guided by enthusiastic villagers, the two of them walked for half an hour on the mountain road to Maozhu Mountain.With the unconditional support of the Cultural Bureau and the villagers, most of the moso bamboo around the tomb was cleared, leaving a mostly flat open space where more than a dozen yellow tents were set up. This is where tools, cultural relics and people live.

When Lu Mei and Jiang Zhe arrived, the ancient tomb had been dug into a square shape, and the coffin was still in the cemetery and could not be easily moved.The white-haired Professor Zhou squatted above the tomb, staring at the coffin with burning eyes. The student next to him brought a white porcelain bowl for the professor and asked the professor to eat first.

Lu Mei secretly glanced at Jiang Che, feeling worried.Can Jiang Che, who is used to eating Fulaixing, get used to the rough food in the countryside, especially in such a poor mountain village, I am afraid that there are not even a few meat strips.

"Teacher." Jiang Che called Professor Zhou.

Only then did Professor Zhou come back to his senses, and he was genuinely happy to see that it was Jiang Che who was talking about it. He called a few college students who were eating and introduced him, "This is Jiang Che, my favorite student."

Words are full of appreciation.

Most of these college students are college students A who came with Professor Zhou yesterday, or college students B who came two days earlier.Jiang Zhe used to study at University B, and later followed Professor Zhou to University A. With his outstanding appearance and talent, he is a man of the hour. Everyone present has heard of Jiang Zhe.The scene is also much more polite.

It's just that Lu Mei became a little embarrassed. Most of the students who came were recommended by their tutors, and only Lu Mei followed her.Professor Chen called Professor Zhou yesterday, but there was no signal in the deep mountains and old forests, and the message conveyed was not implemented. Professor Zhou didn't know who Lu Mei was.

"Who is this little friend?" Professor Zhou raised his eyes. After all, he was getting older and calmed down. The discovery of the ancient tomb was followed by the rediscovery of cultural relics, as well as newcomers or malicious people. miss.

"His name is Lu Mei, and he was recommended by Professor Chen." Jiang Che hid Lu Mei behind his back intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing his lover's protection, Professor Zhou didn't say anything more.Next, he told Jiang Che the details of the tomb.

The early excavation was carried out by the villagers without professional guidance. The structure of the tomb itself was damaged a lot, and because the villagers roughly opened the tomb seal, the coffin, which had been sealed for thousands of years, was exposed to air. The outer coffin of the tomb immediately cracked, which made Professor Zhou who arrived yesterday very sad. This could have reduced the loss. The value of archeology itself is not just bronze and ceramics. The coffin and even the owner of the tomb are cultural relics.

Scholars can know the identity of the owner of the tomb or the customs at that time through the material of the coffin and the funeral objects.Sometimes the coffin can also hide mysteries.

"If I'm not mistaken, it hasn't rotted for thousands of years and still won't disperse in the air. This layer of coffin is made of golden nanmu."

Lu Mei's expression froze, she couldn't believe that a coffin made of golden nanmu could be found in this poor ditch.

Jiang Zhe's complexion also changed, no one else knew, but they were archaeologists who knew that golden nanmu was highly respected in ancient times, especially in a certain period, it was not allowed to be used except by the royal family.Pushing forward, how could ordinary people in the Western Zhou Dynasty have the ability and energy to get golden nanmu, and this coffin can also represent identity.

"I'm afraid it's at the scholar-official level." Lu Mei sighed.I feel a little restless in my heart, wondering how many funeral objects have been cleaned up?I'm afraid the owner of this tomb has a lot of background. If he is still a prince and nobleman, how can he not be exciting when he thinks about it.

"During the Western Zhou Dynasty, this generation was rewarded by the emperor of Zhou to the princes many times. Unless there are famous people with historical records, or there are inscriptions and silk cloth, otherwise this is an unnamed tomb." Jiang Zhe said: "The weather has been hot recently, and it has not rained for a long time. , the opening of the coffin cannot be delayed."

Professor Zhou frowned: "Even if you don't open the coffin, exposure to the sun will have a great impact on the corpse in the coffin. Jiang Zhe, among the students who came with you, only you are the most capable. The opening of the coffin still has to be done by the two of us. The conditions are limited. , if something goes wrong, don't worry too much about it."

Professor Zhou sighed, how could he not care, he has struggled in the tomb for most of his life, all he can do is restore the unearthed cultural relics as much as possible, if the owner of the tomb causes unnecessary losses due to their negligence, it will be a great pity for the archaeological community , It will also make him regret for life.

Moreover, considering the sealed condition, it is difficult to guarantee that the person in the coffin is still intact, and it may be as if he had just died as in the novel. Maybe it will rot into dust in an instant like the outer coffin when it encounters air. .

There are too many uncertainties in the opening of the coffin. No matter what it is, everyone hopes that the ending will be good.

It was not too late to open the coffin. Professor Zhou called a few tall male students and the staff to discuss the opening of the coffin.Lu Mei was taken to the tomb by a few girls who lived in the age of dinosaurs to clean up the funerary objects.

A lot of wine bottle cloth has been cleaned out in the past two days, most of which are oxidized*.And the ones that are better preserved are often at the bottom.All afternoon, Lu Mei kept her back to the coffin that was being protected by the yellow line, buried her head and carefully cleaned out the soil, pinch by pinch, to minimize damage to the cultural relics.

Suddenly, Lu Mei glanced at the coffin subconsciously. There seemed to be patterns on the cracked coffin, which became blurred due to severe oxidation. If I didn't look carefully, I thought it was formed the day after tomorrow.Lu Mei involuntarily moved closer.

"Boom—" There was a thunderclap accompanied by a thunderbolt.

The girl present exclaimed, her complexion turned pale.

"Hurry up and call Professor Zhou back, it's going to rain."

The staff stopped their work one after another and put the cleaned up cultural relics into a tent.

Lu Yi trembled, and her back was dripping with cold sweat, and then she took another look at the outer coffin where there were still dark patterns.A strange feeling climbed up from the depths of the soul.

"Lu Mei, come up quickly, Professor Zhou is bringing someone to carry the coffin, don't get in the way." Someone shouted from above.

Lu Mei barely calmed down, and brought a few cleared wine bottles to the tent.I'm unlucky, but I'm not so unlucky. How can there be ghosts and gods in the world?

When Lu Mei returned to the square pit, heavy rain poured down.Many staff members held umbrellas to direct them, and Professor Zhou led Jiang Zhe, two tall boys, to work at the tomb.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the ground was black and the water in the tomb had reached ankles.Jiang Zhe and the three male students were working in the water with small shovels, shoveling out pieces of slippery soil.The other two quickly cleaned up the mud on the coffin.Take a piece of transparent plastic to wrap the coffin to prevent it from being soaked in water.

"Is it all right? Is the tent ready? Jiang Che can try to lift it? Hurry up and get the bamboo, push the coffin on top of the bamboo, and push it up little by little." Professor Zhou excavated the first In the 20 years on the scene, such emergencies are rare, and the temper is inevitably a little anxious.

The bamboo was ready-made, and Lu Mei and a few girls resisted the bamboo to block the tomb.

Jiang Zhe and the others began to push the coffin up little by little. Because of the rainy weather, the soil was sticky, and it took a lot of effort for Jiang Zhe and his party.

No way, everyone can only unite as one, almost all the male staff jumped off the tomb to help push the coffin.

Suddenly, the top piece of mud on the tomb was washed down by the water, and hit the back of a tall boy amidst the exclamation of the crowd.

"Damn! What the hell, what are you doing on a rainy day!" The boy yelled, "Damn it! If it doesn't rain sooner or later, it just likes to abuse people!"

Professor Zhou was already very impatient, and almost jumped down to beat him after hearing what the boy said.

Seeing that something was wrong, the girl next to him winked at Chen Yu: "Chen Yu, don't talk nonsense."

Chen Yuji had a lot of resentment: "Where is it, isn't it the cemetery? I'm an undergraduate student, why did you drag me here? I'm not an archaeologist, so what can I do."

The girl didn't expect Chen Yu to disrespect her so much, her face turned red with anger.He snorted and said, "You don't look where you are talking, and you don't listen to good people, be careful of retribution."

Chen Yu is like a firecracker now, it will explode at one o'clock, and the staff next to him hastily stopped Chen Yu.

Professor Zhou looked at Chen Yu coldly: "Since you don't want to come, why do you come here!" His words already contained anger.

Chen Yu was angry and said unwillingly, "Who wants to come?"

In the final analysis, due to the majesty of Professor Zhou, he could retort the girl who rescued him, but he dared not offend the respected Professor Zhou.

"It's raining heavily, hurry up and push!"

Chen Yuxin was unwilling to continue working with everyone.No one took this matter to heart, it was just a student's ignorant behavior.
