Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 275 Moving
If an ordinary person encountered such a situation, he would probably feel his hair stand on end and a chill rising from his feet.

But Shi Zichen is not an ordinary person. He has experienced too many incredible things and is no longer surprised by them.

He squatted down and carefully examined the place where he had just dug the hole. He found that the ground was as flat as before, as if it had never been dug. Even the traces of soil had been wiped clean.

"So that's it!" Shi Zichen nodded thoughtfully. Combining Lao Zhou's previous confession and last night's performance, plus the previous experience of the archaeological team finding nothing, he guessed the specialness of this tomb.

Only Lao Zhou could find the entrance by using his mysterious Xingshumen secret technique combined with specific astronomical phenomena.

"Let's go! Let's go back! Come back in the evening when everyone is gathered!" Shi Zichen said to the two policemen.

"I have to stay up late at night!" A policeman rubbed his sore shoulders and complained.
"In this line of work, who doesn't stay up late?" Another policeman patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go down the mountain and catch up on your sleep!"

As night fell, under the gaze of everyone, Lao Zhou took out the Xuanji compass again and began to measure with a proud look. This time, not only were the policemen present, but also several cultural relics workers who came by helicopter, as well as people from other departments.

The leader was a short, thin old man, with a calm demeanor in his every move. His name was Zigan, and he was an authority in the archaeological community.

On the way up the mountain, he said to Lao Zhou, "I never thought that your Xuanji compass could actually calculate the underground palace?"

Old Zhou raised his head proudly and said, "Xingshu Sect is extensive and profound, and I have only learned a little bit."

"What a shame! It's being used in the wrong way!" Zigan shook his head, his tone full of regret.

“……” Lao Zhou felt despised.

He couldn't help but say: "Do you think I want to? In this era, who needs to observe the stars, measure the pulse, and build the emperor's mausoleum? My family's inherited skills are useless!"

Zigan said, "Can't you go to college and apply for the archaeology department? Can't you shine for the people?"

Old Zhou turned his head and snorted coldly: "If we are on different paths, we cannot make plans together!"

Xiao Zhou then said: "I heard from my grandfather that my father was not very good at studying when he was young. I wanted to do music at that time, but my father forced me to learn these."

"You..." Old Zhou was embarrassed by his son's betrayal and said angrily, "You can't regret it only when you get caught! There is no future for music as a skill inherited from ancestors!"

Shi Zichen sneered and mercilessly exposed: "To put it bluntly, doing this business makes money quickly, and archaeology contributes to society, which is stupid in their eyes. What they dig out from the ground, they just want to take it for themselves!"

Lao Zhou argued: "If it weren't for me, those things would still be buried underground!"

Zigan sighed and said, "If you keep digging like this, you might as well just bury it in the ground!"

As they were talking, they came to the mountain.

The group came to the mountain, and this time the location was different from last night. According to Lao Zhou, the stars are moving, the earth veins are also moving, so the location of this tomb will also change accordingly.

But even he didn't believe it!

Where is the moving tomb?
Drifting after death?
But when he thought of the person talking in the coffin, he felt vaguely uneasy.

There were many people going up the mountain today, dozens of them. They swung their shovels, the dirt flew, and soon they dug a pit several meters deep, revealing the dark entrance again.

"I'm in front, don't move. Xiao Chen, Xiao Li, take pictures and record! Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, carry your equipment!" Zi Gan said to the young people.

The two young archaeologists nodded quickly, their cameras ready. The other two also patted their backs, indicating that it was okay. After the air in the cave circulated, the group carefully entered the cave. Several high-lumen flashlights illuminated the tomb passage as bright as day.

"What a high-standard tomb passage!" Zi Gan murmured as he looked at the specifications of the tomb passage.

"I don't even need to bend down to walk?" Shi Zichen also said. He was 1.8 meters tall, but he didn't feel any sense of oppression when walking in this tomb passage.

Xiao Chen asked, "Is this really a tomb passage?"

Zi Gan looked at the brick patterns under the tomb passage and said, "It's in the style of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but it's not necessarily a tomb passage. It's very likely a carriage path."

After walking about thirty meters, they arrived at the sacrificial pit and the chariot and horse pit.

"Human sacrifices were common in the Shang and Zhou dynasties." Zigan came to the sacrificial pit with a flashlight. He shone a light into the pit and saw human bones buried in the soil. He said, "It looks like there are dozens of people!"

Then he came to the chariot pit and said, "The emperor chariots six, and the princes chariots five. It's a pity that this place is covered with mud and nothing can be seen clearly."

The chariot pit was very large, and thick soil buried everything.

"What a pity! We have to get out before dawn!" Zi Gan sighed and said with regret in his tone: "Let's go to the main tomb together!"

Old Zhou followed the light of the flashlight and saw the sacrificial pit and the chariot pit, and he became more and more uneasy. All the traces of his father and son's previous exploration were gone, even the footprints on the ground disappeared without a trace.

After entering the main tomb chamber, he saw the intact coffin under the thin soil, and his scalp tingled.

Who cleaned the entire coffin after they left?

Even the coffin was restored to its original state.

It's like no one has ever been here!
"No...something's not right! Officer! No...something's not right!" When Lao Zhou saw the coffin, he couldn't help but said to Shi Zichen, "Obviously..."

"It looks like no one has been here before, right?" Shi Zichen said calmly, "You have little experience, just watch!"

Zigan's voice continued, saying, "This coffin is quite large! You said there are nine coffins underneath it?"

"Yes!" Lao Zhou replied quickly, "There are coffins from all dynasties. Among them, there are empty coffins and people talking. It can't be..."

At this moment, he felt that the man was more and more strange. Was the person in the coffin really a living person?

"You guys in this line of work are still afraid of this?" Bigan chuckled.

Before Lao Zhou could say anything, he saw Zigan saying to everyone, "Put on your gloves and open the coffin! Put a vacuum bag over the coffin and move everyone out!"

They also wanted to conduct protective excavation, using a brush to brush away the tomb bit by bit. However, this tomb was quite strange, so they had to move the most valuable items first, just like ants moving houses. Then they would set up an archaeological station nearby to study it slowly.

Everyone quickly followed Zigan's instructions and started to work. They opened the coffins and saw nine coffins.

Afterwards, the coffin was put into a vacuum bag and carried out of the tomb.

Fortunately, the tomb passage was spacious, allowing them to transport all the coffins out.
