golden escape

Fang You used a Luoyang shovel to shovel out the cooked soil under the tomb, which served as an introduction, and he didn't need to worry about the next thing.

Under Wei Lao's many years of archaeological experience, he only shoveled a few shovels in different directions, and he was sure that there must be a tomb below.

For the first time, Mr. Wei did not continue to dig down, but asked the archaeologists to clean up the tomb above, and at the same time carefully explored around the tomb. down the burrow.

Of course, no robbery cave was the best result he expected. Within a five-kilometer radius, two robbery caves were detected.

One is only less than 500 meters away from them, while the other is one kilometer away from them, and it is still on the edge of a remote mountain rock. It is impossible to observe this position without getting close.

There was nothing in one of the robbery holes, but from the color and humidity of the soil, it can be analyzed that the time for digging this robbery hole should not exceed a month, and the other robbery hole was tightly sealed by a big rock. After sealing it tightly, it took a lot of effort, and the excavator was called again, and the big stone was dug out.

The scene inside the robbery cave was beyond everyone's expectation. There was actually someone in the robbery cave. When it was opened, everyone was really shocked.

After a brief inspection, these people were all silent, but from their still warm bodies, it can be known that the time they died would not be very long. An ambulance and forensic experts were called to learn the results , These people are already dead, and there is no value in rescuing them.

According to the forensic medical examination results, the time of death of these people was no more than 48 hours from now.

Fang You also followed behind Elder Wei. These people all survived the chaos in the tomb, including Li Laosi, Wang Daqia, and Feng Qiang. Unfortunately, their lives stopped here.

Each of these people held a big bag, which was filled with various cultural relics, and the weight was so heavy that an adult would have to struggle to lift it. Seeing these cultural relics, Wei Lao's excited body was shaking Trembling slightly, "Tang Sancai, it turned out to be Tang Sancai, don't touch it with your hands, put on gloves, and start the rescue and protection of cultural relics immediately."

After cleaning up these cultural relics, they found dozens of stone flakes standing upright on the ground. Everyone was a little puzzled. These people were obviously tomb robbers, but why were they sealed here? Do you guard the entrance of the cave?

With strong doubts, they walked into the tomb. Under Fang You's vague reminder, the experienced old Wei discovered the dangerous mechanism in the tomb. When one of the jack mechanism was pulled, they undoubtedly found the two pieces. Mushed meat, according to the results of the forensic examination, these are two living people who were crushed into a muddy meat by a jack.

This made everyone look bitter, and each of them retched vigorously. Most of the tombs they had seen had very few institutions. Even if people died in the institutions, they would only turn into a pile of dry bones. There were a lot of dead people, but they couldn't help but feel a little disgusted by the dead people who were directly crushed into a meat paste. They wanted to leave here immediately. It was really these two pieces of meat paste that could not make people calm down.

After using means to completely break through, they entered the deeper main tomb. In the main tomb, after seeing the chaotic scene, they finally had a little understanding.

It turned out that this group of tomb robbers had internal strife, blood and bullets everywhere, some were killed by guns, some were killed by knives, and one died after being hit in the head by a piece of porcelain.

After looking at these corpses, and at the cultural relics that had been shot and shattered, Mr. Wei's complexion became extremely ugly. In the end, he had to sigh helplessly and asked the staff to clean up all the corpses of these people and To be cremated and buried is to let these evil grave robbers go to the ground for peace.

In a tool bag, they found several bundles of explosives, including detonators and C4 plastic explosives, which were powerful enough to flatten the entire tomb.

Thinking of the death of those people at the entrance of the cave, Wei Lao suddenly shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"You know why the tomb robbers at the entrance of the cave died, it was just because they were too greedy for money, and everyone was afraid of death. Everyone took such a big bag, which consumed a lot of human energy, and the oxygen each of them carried , It was very scarce at first, coupled with excessive force, the oxygen will be consumed even faster. They did not see the oxygen of the dead in the tomb. I am afraid that what they saw in their eyes at that time was only these exquisite antiques in front of us. "

"We can see from the actions of those people at that time that when they arrived at the entrance of the cave, they found that the entrance of the cave was blocked. Maybe they wanted to come back to get a shovel or explosives, but each of them was afraid of death, and they were afraid that the cultural relics they took would be taken away by others. Moreover, several of them were injured by the underground stone trap, so all of them waited dryly at the entrance of the cave. In the end, their wrestling bodies must be fighting for oxygen, perhaps for their own survival. , perhaps to get shovels and explosives to grab oxygen, but what is certain is that the reason for their death is because of the selfish and devoid of conscience of these tomb robbers.”

Wei Lao smiled and pointed to the soldiers beside him, "If it were a team of well-trained soldiers, or brothers and relatives who lived and died together, then the result would be another situation. Of course, facing When dying, everyone will have fear and want to save their own lives, and the result of doing so is that everyone will die together."

"Ordinary people will have such a result, not to mention these tomb robbers who are only for money. If they rob tombs all their lives and die in the tomb, they will be rewarded for their evil." Wei Lao sighed and smiled, with a bit of embarrassment.

Everyone at the side couldn't help but realize that the death of this group of tomb robbers could only be blamed on themselves. It was their character that brought about today's results.

"Mr. Wei, is this tomb the Tang Dynasty tomb we are looking for?" Looking at the many funerary objects in the main tomb, Wang Chao said a little excitedly.

Old Wei nodded and smiled, "These buried objects are very similar to the ones we intercepted at the customs. This should be the tomb we are looking for. I really can't imagine that we have worked so hard to find the tomb without a trace. Under our feet, what is even more unexpected is that those tomb robbers are so courageous, daring to enter the tomb and steal things under our noses."

"Old Wei, this may be the most dangerous place, that is, the safest place." Fang You smiled.

Looking at Fang You, Old Wei couldn't help feeling a little excited, "Xiao You, thanks to you this time, otherwise, even if we finish digging the upper tomb, we might not be able to find the Tang Dynasty tomb below."

"Old Wei, you think too highly of me. I'm just lucky. Even without me, based on your old experience, it's only a matter of time before you find the tomb." Fang You shook his head and said with a smile.

"Xiaoyou, sometimes luck is also a part of human ability. If you are not serious and eager to learn, you will not search for information at all, let alone experiment with Luoyang shovel out of curiosity. This luck can be said to be created by yourself. By digging out the tombs earlier, we can better protect these cultural relics facing oxidation. This is the crystallization of China's splendid culture, and it is our greatest wish to preserve it well and benefit future generations." Wei Lao smiled, and for Fang You This kind of peaceful personality, I like it more and more.

If the tomb is found earlier, the cultural relics will be less damaged, not to mention that in addition to air damage, there may be tomb robbers re-entering.

"Director Li, judging from the situation at the scene, there is internal strife among the tomb robbers, and the passage they came in was sealed from the outside. It must be that some tomb robbers escaped and sealed the entrance of the cave. Please pay close attention to Qin Cheng these days. In the cultural relics trading market, we can't let this group of leaking fish harm cultural relics." Wei Lao said with a serious expression.

Hearing what Old Wei said, Fang You couldn't help sighing. Xu Mengyun and the others were very alert and knew something would happen, so they left Qincheng first, but they didn't know that Xu Mengyun, who had a good relationship with him before, was leaving Qincheng. Why become cold and heartless.

A middle-aged man in a police uniform next to him gave a military salute to Elder Wei, "Professor Wei, don't worry, we promise to complete the task, and the identities of these people will be revealed soon, and we will report to you when the time comes."

"Hehe, you can figure it out yourself, you don't need to report to me, these cultural relics are enough for me to be busy for a while." Wei Lao said with a smile.

For the next month or so, Fang You followed Mr. Wei in the tombs of the Tang Dynasty, learning various knowledge of tomb archaeology, from basic to advanced, from one-sided to comprehensive.

It can be said that Fang You has benefited a lot. After more than a month, the archaeological work came to an end. Wei Lao asked Fang You to go to the capital to find him next year. What he has learned now is to lay a solid foundation so that he can learn more systematically about archaeology in the future.

Fang You agreed, and set off to return to Wuyang, because the first antique auction of Longyou Auction Company was about to be held.

The previous two jadeite auctions made Longyou Auction Company known to most people for a while. In the second auction, it even set the highest price for a single item in the auction industry.

Except that Longyou Company has such great courage to hold this jadeite auction, other auction houses are basically unable to compete with it when it comes to jadeite. Most of the jadeite is controlled by major jewelry families, which is typical. It turns out that even if some retail jadeites are collected, they are just some low-grade goods, without ice and glass, so don't think about relying on this kind of auction to increase your reputation.

After learning that Longyou Auction House was going to hold an auction of antiques, all the major auction houses in Tianhai couldn't help moving their benches, buying melon seeds, gloating and preparing to watch the show.

You have a lot of jadeite, and we don’t deny that the jadeite auction will be successful, but now you are still thinking about holding an antique auction. Is it also successful?

Before their eyes, they could see that when Longyou Auction House held the antique auction, the sparse crowd probably couldn't even fill the venue.
