treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 645

When I came to Fucheng again, besides Associate Professor Zheng Bin of Peking University, Li Mo also transferred five associate professors from Peking University and Qing University. They were all around 40 years old, and they were the reserve force trained by the school.

After walking out of the airport, Li Mo took off his coat and looked up at the sky. The sky here is much bluer than that in Beijing, and the climate is much milder.

"Associate Professor Li, fortunately I listened to you. I brought two spring and autumn coats. Otherwise, if I still wear a down jacket, I will get prickly heat on my body."

Zheng Bin dragged a suitcase and said beside Li Mo.

"This place is suitable for sightseeing. You can wander around after the matter on Shuangji Peak is finished."

"That's necessary. You said on the plane that there are many special snacks in Ningde, and I'm going to try them all."

Li Mo turned his head to look at his figure and said with a smile: "In recent years, your figure has been out of shape, and it has become greasy before you are 40 years old. It seems that the living conditions are very good, and Teacher Jia has taken good care of you. "

"Hahaha, the main reason is that the status of the two of us in the family has changed. I am in a good mood and eat well, so I naturally gain weight."

Outside the airport, it was Yan Qijun who came to greet them. When they met again, Yan Qijun's smile was a little stiff.

"We got in the car and said, go directly to Ningde, and we will settle there, which saves a lot of time going back and forth."

The minibus drove them towards Ningde, and then Li Mo asked about the current situation of the poisoned people.

"Ten seriously injured people have come to life, and the other seven people are still in a coma in the intensive care unit. As for the eight people after a detailed examination, they are all in good health, and they can just go home and recuperate for a while. Associate Professor Li, I am really ashamed. "

Yan Qijun thought that being able to solve the mystery of Emperor Jianwen's life and death this time was the greatest achievement in his life, but it happened that God failed.

"Yan Ju, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to blame yourself. Let them bear the responsibility of the sins of the people above. We just do our own work well."

Li Mo comforted him a few words. After investigation, Yan Qijun repeatedly reminded him in front of many people, but the people above did not believe in evil, and such things caused very bad social impact. It is not enough to cover the sky with one hand, and it is impossible to cover the mouths of all the people present at that time.

"Associate Professor Li, when do you think the next work will start?"

"After we arrived in Ningde, we sorted out everything first and then proceeded step by step. If we want to enter the secret cave that may be the treasure of Emperor Jianwen, we must first clean up the poisonous gas in the cave. And we have to be mentally prepared. Be prepared, don't expect too much."

Zheng Bin, who was sitting next to him, asked in confusion: "Associate Professor Li, what do you mean by the expected value?"

"It's because we spent a lot of energy in the early stage, but that secret cave may not be the real treasure cave of Emperor Jianwen. The climate here is very different from that in the north, and poisonous gas is produced in the secret cave on the side of the mountain on the back of the sun. There are many factors."

Yan Qijun sighed lightly, this was his biggest worry.The treasure of Emperor Jianwen has always been speculated. Although there are various clues, no one can guarantee 100% that there must be such a hidden treasure cave.

It is possible to find the secret cave, but there is nothing in it.

Now all the eyes of the whole country are paying attention to Fudi Ningde. If a lot of manpower and material resources are spent, and such a heavy price is paid but nothing is obtained, then I don’t know how many people will be unlucky.

"Associate Professor Li, we can do whatever you want to arrange." Zheng Bin's idea is very simple, follow Li Mo's rhythm, do whatever he tells him to do, and it's useless to think so much about other things.

Yan Qijun arranged a group of people into a five-star hotel in Ningde, and all expenses were borne by the local government.If another group of people came, how could they have the opportunity to enjoy such high-standard treatment.

Jia Siyuan and the live broadcast team of the company under the Millennium Shengzang Group arrived at [-] o'clock at night, and they planned to join Li Mohui and come to the valley early tomorrow morning.

The valley on the back of Shuangji Peak has basically been re-excavated. As for whether any new cultural relics have been found, Li Mo did not ask.

"Associate Professor Li, the place guarded by people over there is the entrance of the secret cave discovered earlier. Someone found a gold hairpin from the Ming Dynasty palace not far from the entrance of the cave. Later, after entering the cave, other cultural relics were found one after another, so People who heard the wind rushed to go in. You know what happened later."

A group of people walked to the bottom of the re-sealed secret cave. Police officers from the local police station were patrolling and guarding. To enter the secret cave, they had to climb up to a height of more than three meters.

Li Mo looked at the surrounding environment casually. The secret cave in front of him was not the secret treasure cave he discovered, and it was nearly a hundred meters away from the real treasure secret cave.However, cultural relics from the Ming Dynasty were also found in this secret cave. His first reaction was that there might be more than one treasure cave for Emperor Jianwen.

Thinking of this place, the different pupil immediately glanced in, which surprised him. The cave inside is very large, with natural and man-made traces.But the inside is not a hidden treasure cave at all, but a place for living and living. There are complete sets of tables and chairs, furniture, stone tables and benches, as well as plates, bowls, etc. used in daily life.

There are a lot of things, some remain intact, and some fall apart on the ground, especially those porcelains with many fragments on the ground.There are also many wooden boxes, which should store clothes and the like.

Of course, in addition to these, there are many corpses inside, with different forms of death.

This cave is a place where people of the Ming Dynasty lived in seclusion, and many things left in it have very important historical significance.

"Associate Professor Li, the reinforcements to enter the secret cave to remove the poisonous gas have arrived."

Yan Qijun said in a low voice, Li Mo turned his head to look, and saw a team of ten people fully armed walking towards this side.They took anti-virus measures and purified the air before entering the dense cave, so that the air inside and outside could circulate.

Then the corpses inside have to be cleaned up, and the archaeological staff will not officially enter until all the preliminary work is over.

"Mr. Li, we are ordered to come to support, please instruct."

One of the people with a loud voice saluted Li Mo, because he couldn't see his true face even if he was fully armed.

"Because the hole has been re-sealed, please be careful when it opens."

"Yes."

Li Mo told everyone to back away, the perimeter has been cordoned off, and all the locals who came to watch the excitement were forbidden to approach.

It is still very easy to open the blocked hole, which was built up piece by piece with stones later.The support team used some simple tools, and soon saw the stones rolling down the slope one by one.

"The hole is open, ready to enter, check the equipment again."

Soon ten people entered with tools on their backs. About half an hour later, the second reinforcement team arrived, also fully armed.

"Associate Professor Li, the light inside is too dark, and the camera can only capture vague shadows."

While controlling the tablet, Zheng Bin followed the camera to see clearly the situation in the secret cave.Li Mo leaned over to look at him and said, "Why don't you use infrared?"

Zheng Bin turned to look at Li Mo, and then patted his head.It's really stupid, I only equipped with an ordinary camera, and naturally I can't capture high-definition pictures with those searchlights.

"Forget it, let's go in after the processing inside is over."

The corpses were sent out one after another, and one of the professionals shouted through the wireless headset: "Associate Professor Li, two corpses were found in the cave. Judging from the clothes they wore, they looked a bit like after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I alone Marked on the body bag."

"receive."

Yan Qijun also knew the situation through the headset, and said with a strange expression: "Could it be that someone discovered this secret cave decades ago?"

Li Mo sighed and said: "The information I have collected is that seven villagers from the village at the foot of the mountain went hunting in the mountain decades ago, but only five of them walked out of the mountain. Two of them fell into a coma immediately after arriving home, and the other three were unconscious. , went crazy, and died one by one within a few days. If you guessed correctly, the two corpses just discovered are probably the two of the seven people who did not walk out of the mountain."

"Yan Ju, do you know why I told you so much now? People are really going to die. Fortunately, with the advancement of medicine and the timely rescue, they should be able to save their lives."

Yan Qijun sighed secretly, Li Mo's achievement today is indeed something ordinary people can do.He collected a lot of information, and finally summarized, analyzed, and positioned it.

The preliminary work lasted until after three o'clock in the afternoon. After the air inside was tested to be normal, the electrician began to enter the site to arrange the wires to connect to the light source.

"Yan Ju, get ready to work overtime tonight."

"I really want to go into the cave right away to see what's going on inside. Seeing that the centuries-old puzzle is about to be solved, let alone working overtime tonight, I'm willing to stay overnight."

Jia Siyuan's team has already started the live broadcast mode. After the beautiful anchor made some opening remarks, he followed Li Mo and others into the cave.The lights inside are very bright, and everything can be seen clearly.

"Associate Professor Li, how about the progress of the preliminary work first, netizens?"

Li Mo said to the camera: "So far, the poisonous gas in the secret cave has been purified, and the inside and outside of the cave have formed a cycle, so you can enter safely. In addition, a total of 39 skeletons from the Ming Dynasty have been cleared from the secret cave. , Judging from the clothes they wore, they should be maids, eunuchs, and guards. The cause of death of the maids and eunuchs was homicide, while the guards committed suicide. Details will be announced in the future."

"In addition, the remains of two people who died in just a few decades were also cleared up. Judging from the clues collected before, they should be the two people who went hunting in Shanjiao Village and went missing. Regarding this clue, the authorities will start to investigate them Descendants, interested netizens can pay attention to it.”

After saying this, Li Mo cast his gaze into the cave.He had seen the situation inside with different pupils before, so he saw that his emotions were well controlled again, but the others were not so calm.

Li Mo motioned the live broadcast camera to scan the situation in the cave first, and then explained: "Judging from the layout of this cave, it used to be a place to live and live for a long time. There are not only tables and chairs, but also similar beds. furniture. Because the space is too large and there are many things, I will take everyone to count the things inside."

"Associate Professor Zheng, don't stand still." Li Mo nudged Zheng Bin with his elbow, and then walked to the table and chairs, which were the antiques he was most concerned about.Real Ming and Qing furniture antiques are very expensive in the market now. At auctions in recent years, it is normal for a piece of Ming and Qing furniture to fetch tens of millions, or even over [-] million.

With the focus of the camera, a table and six chairs appeared in front of us, two of which fell to the ground, and one of the chair legs was broken.

"Associate Professor Li, let's wipe it with a cloth first."

The two associate professors from Tsinghua University behind them took the initiative to do chores. It was the first time for them to come out with Li Mo to carry out an archaeological project, so they naturally wanted to perform better.The surface of the chair was covered with thick dust, and it was hard to wipe out its original appearance.

Although the light above his head was very bright, Li Mo still used the spotlight flashlight to shine on it, and carefully looked at the texture of the surface of the chair.

"Associate Professor Li, the material of this chair seems to be teak." Yan Qijun took a closer look at the texture and color, and touched the texture of the armrest of the chair with his hands.

Li Mo nodded and said: "The style of this chair is called the lamp hanging chair. It is named for its shape like the bamboo lamp hanging on the stove wall in the south to support the oil lamp. The lamp hanging chair was the most popular style of chair in the Ming Dynasty. , it can also be said to be a popular style since the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasty."

"This lamp hanging chair has round legs, and the head is picked out to the sides. The whole is simple and simple. A small stone is embedded on the back panel. This embedded stone is the famous stone of Fudi, called the Nine Dragon Wall Stone. It was made by the folks in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the wood used for lamp hanging chairs is elm and sawn wood, but this chair is made of teak, which shows that the identity of the user is either rich or noble."

"Associate Professor Li, is this kind of teak very expensive?"

The beauty asked live.

"Some people say that teak is the king of all woods, and it has the reputation of 'Once owned, three generations benefit'. Teak furniture lasts for a long time, and the longer it is, the more beautiful it is. Teak also has a remarkable feature, that is, it can be corroded by sea water and exposed to sunlight. There will be no bending or cracking. Zheng He’s ships on his voyages to the West were made of teak hundreds of years ago, and the deck of the Titanic was also paved with teak a hundred years ago.”

"Teak wood interior in the hands, elegant demeanor of sailing on land, like a commemorative model of Rolls-Royce, the interior is largely made of teak wood. There are very few large-scale buildings with teak wood in China, but there are many in Southeast Asia. , have now become world-renowned cultural relics protection objects.”

Hearing what Li Mo said, the value of these lamp hanging chairs in the early Ming Dynasty skyrocketed.

"Associate Professor Li, many netizens in the live broadcast room are asking what is the market value of this Ming Dynasty chair?"

Li Mo smiled and said nothing, just took a piece of cloth from an associate professor and began to wipe it carefully again, and then said: "Only one of the six lamp hanging chairs has a broken leg, take it carefully and take it back, it can be repaired of."

Zheng Bin glanced at his colleagues and hurried forward to protect them.Li Mo didn't say the value of these chairs at the live broadcast, so he can guess without thinking that they must be worth a lot, at least tens of millions.

Under Jia Siyuan's signal, she immediately changed the subject and said, "Look at this table, netizens, it's not simple. It's made of teak wood, just like the lamp hanging chair."

The dust on the surface of the nearly 1.8-meter-long table has been wiped clean, and a rectangular inlaid stone is inlaid in the center of the table. The stone is also the Nine Dragon Wall Stone on the Fudi side.

"This is a long table without a waist, a typical representative of Ming furniture."

Li Mo touched the long table, his eyes were full of enthusiasm. There is such a complete collection of Ming-style furniture in the Kyoto Museum and the Palace Museum, but there is no such collection in his own museum.

The one table and six chairs that have only been identified so far, he has seen before that there are kang tables, kang tables, kang tables, incense tables, wine tables, red tables, strip tables, strip tables, strip tables, and painting tables in this cave. There are also several shapes of stools, screen couplets and so on.

It can be said that the furniture in this cave has representative styles.

"Associate Professor Zheng, you bring two people to be responsible for registering these furniture, and then take photos for the bottom."

"Ok."
