treasure hunt god pupil

Uncle Liang yelled in the village, and immediately a dozen men in their 60s and [-]s brought tools and came to the water storage ditch to wait for arrangements.

"Professor Li, I have agreed with them that two hundred yuan per person per day is fine." Uncle Liang seemed to feel that the price was a bit high, so he was a little embarrassed.

"Three hundred a day, eat three meals with us."

Li Mo added a little more, and smiles appeared on the faces of the old farmers around.Under Li Mo's arrangement, the work was full of energy, and digging the soil was too easy for them.

More than a dozen people worked together, and in less than an hour, the area around the pit expanded by more than one meter.

"Uncle Liang, dig down from now on, be careful."

"Okay, look at us."

By noon, it was already very close to the bronze chariot underground.Li Mo had been paying attention to the situation, and suddenly he stopped the people in the pit.

He came to the bottom of the pit, scratched a few times in a pile of soil, and picked up a long piece of clay covered in it.

"Professor Li, did you find anything?"

Professor Zhu Changping asked on the ground.

Li Mo carefully cleaned off the clay on the surface with a brush, roughly revealing his true face.

"This is the bow of the wrong gold and silver beast, the assembly used on the chariot. I found a pair of similar ones in the United States before. Quick, send it up for other experts to have a look at."

Li Mo handed the wrong gold and silver beast bow bearer to Chen Xiaojun beside him, and then ordered: "Uncle Liang, let everyone else go up first, and then we will dig by ourselves."

Soon Li Mo and Brown Bear were left at the bottom of the huge pit, and then Zhu Changping and the others also came down one after another. Judging from their excited expressions, they had a sense of anticipation for the origin of the tombs here.

"Professor Li, this kind of staggered gold and silver beast head bow is usually matched with a chariot. Will there be chariot-like cultural relics below this? A tomb of this size is definitely at the level of the emperor and princes."

Professor Yu of Tsinghua University was a little excited, and other experts nodded one after another.

"I reckoned that there might be other bronze wares if I dug further down or around, so I asked them to go out and wait for us to take over."

Li Mo didn't say anything dead, after all he "saw it" a long time ago, but the others didn't know the truth.

"Professor Li, without further ado, let's do it now and strive for a new astonishing discovery today."

Professor Zhu rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it himself, but was stopped by others.Professor Zhu is already in his 60s, and many people at the scene are in their 40s and [-]s. How can he be allowed to do such physical work.

Li Mo dug down with a small shovel, and the others followed suit.About ten minutes later, the shovel in Li Mo's hand seemed to hit something hard, and he immediately shouted: "There is something here."

People around immediately gathered around.

"Professor Li, be gentle, don't damage the cultural relics."

"Professor Li, the iron shovel in your hand is too threatening, so use a wooden shovel to dig the soil."

"Professor Li, how about we clean up the last clay?"

The people next to him were chattering, but Li Mo didn't hesitate, stood up and said with a smile: "This is the second time I have really participated in archaeological work. I don't have enough experience, so I will leave it to you veterans." Yes, I'll be watching."

"Leave this work to us."

Li Mo stepped aside, looked at Professor Zhu Changping and said, "Teacher, I will leave the five large tombs to the young people to work on. You all come to focus on the large tombs here."

"I don't know the specific situation yet. Besides, you discovered this place first. You must manage it as the project leader. If it is confirmed that it is related to the Zhou royal family, you can make a report and transfer people directly. We will listen to you." dispatch."

Professor Yu also said with a smile on the side: "Professor Li will either not make a move, or it will be a big job if he makes a move. I heard that the five graduate students you brought out have good qualifications. will be low."

When mentioning those five students, Li Mo's face felt hot. Although they were named here, he seldom gave them advice. Most of them let them learn by themselves. If they didn't understand, they asked the experts in the museum.

I am a hands-off shopkeeper, and I am worthy of the title of teacher.

"I'm envious too."

Zhu Changping said with emotion.

"Old Zhu, even if you say that, there is no room for our old faces. In fact, you have Li Mo as a student, which is enough."

How could Zhu Changping not be clear about the relationship between Li Mo and him.In the eyes of others, Li Mo is his favorite student, but in fact, he knows that he has not given Li Mo much help at all.

"Dig it."

Someone yelled, and Li Mo and the others stopped chatting immediately, and took a few steps forward to look. A large piece of bronze had been exposed in the soil layer, but they hadn't dug out all of it, so they couldn't tell what kind of bronze it was.

"Everyone be careful."

Professor Zhu exhorted and shouted.

As the clay was continuously dug away, the exposed bronze vessels became larger and larger, and gradually formed a rough outline.

"This is the Bronze Horse!"

The bronze horse was about [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters high. It lay reclining in the soil, with most of its body still buried in the road.

"From the burial objects we unearthed in the Shang and Zhou tombs, the buried horses in those pits are real horses, and some bones remain. In this large tomb, there are bronze horses. Let's continue digging and look at the pit. How many pieces of bronze horses can be dug out from the mine?"

Several experts couldn't help but want to do it themselves. Bronze horses are equipped with chariots. Such specifications once appeared in Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and are now displayed in the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum for tourists to visit.

Li Mo had known for a long time that there were six bronze horses underground in this area, and they were buried under the soil layer crookedly.

A word suddenly appeared in his mind: Tianzi Jialiu.

Six horses pull a "Emperor's Carriage", which is the highest system of the Zhou Emperor's guard of honor.

That is to say, what is buried under the pit is not the bronze chariot of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but the vehicle of the emperor.

When all of them are dug out, it can be directly confirmed that this is the tomb of the emperor of the Zhou royal family, and the current location should be the remains of the chariot and horse pit in the tomb.

Li Mo was still very excited in his heart, he swept his different pupils again, and the outline of the entire tomb appeared in his mind.

A series of colorful halos rose one after another.

"Professor Li, lunch is ready, should we have a full stomach before continuing?"

Uncle Liang shouted from above, and Li Mo gave him 2 yuan, which must be good for food and drink.

"Okay, we'll go up later."

Li Mo looked at Chen Xiaojun and asked, "Has the person in charge sent by the Luo City official arrived yet?"

"No, I have called several times, but no one answered. The police sent four people to maintain order, but the working methods were a bit rough when they arrived here, and there were conflicts with the local villagers."

Li Mo frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you already communicate well yesterday, why can't you get in touch today?"

"Not only the representative sent couldn't be contacted, even the official person in charge who was connected before couldn't be contacted. I don't know what the hell they are doing. Little uncle, if I can't be contacted again, I will go back to the city in the afternoon."

"Contact three more times to see."

Li Mo and the others were divided into two shifts, and some people went up to eat first, and then changed to the second group after eating.

"Professor Li, if it's really 'Emperor Driving Six', there is no doubt that this is the tomb of Emperor Zhou. For the safety of the underground cultural relics here, you need to prepare some work in advance."

Professor Yu pointed to a fruit field in front of him. These fruit trees must be removed, and then sheds will be built here. Each large tomb will be excavated in a planned and step-by-step manner, and detailed archaeological research will be carried out.
