treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 826 Finding the Entrance
The oldest expert in the local archaeological team is about 70 years old, and he was also the leader of Buddhist culture archaeology in his early years.Some younger experts are also in their early fifties.

They were very surprised by the sudden restart of the excavation and archaeological work in the Tang Dynasty underground palace of Fayun Temple, but they still carried out the investigation with a work-first attitude, and there was no progress in three days.

At noon on the fourth day, they got the news that Mr. Li Mo, a double-time professor of Peking University and Tsinghua University, will be fully responsible for the excavation and archaeological project of the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty.

Who is Li Mo? Who in the archaeological world would not like him? He is simply an undefeated legend.

Gu Fang followed Li Mo nervously. He is the person in charge of the management committee of the scenic spot, so he couldn't get away from him no matter what.

"Lao Gu, how is the handover of work on your side?"

"Ah? I'm handing over. In fact, I don't have any very important work to hand over. I just need to wait for the superior to choose a suitable successor."

Gu Fang's answer was not confident enough.

"Well, this time you go to Kyoto to report. Although you are in charge of the project in Hebei, the organizational relationship still falls in Yanjiao, Kyoto. After the report is over, you go to Yanjiao to find Huang Zhongzheng, the person in charge there. He will know many things. Tell you in detail."

Gu Fang's uneasy heart suddenly stabilized, Li Mo not only did not have a bad impression of him, but wanted to use him more.Yanjiao, the capital city, has developed into a city. Although it has not escaped the influence of Kyoto, its administrative level has been improving. The first person in charge is even more powerful than the ordinary city-level first person in charge.

Sima Haotian looked at the huge courtyard, and finally his eyes fell on the huge cement incense burner. Anyone who comes here for the first time should be attracted by this very special incense burner.

Li Mo was silent for a while, if Master wanted to come forward by himself, then he really couldn't refuse.

"Your uncle suddenly received an invitation from the program group of the Spring Festival Gala, and wanted them to perform a set of traditional Bajiquan on stage. They also consulted your teacher's physical condition in detail, and asked if he could also appear on stage."

Sitting on the sofa watching TV at night, Li Zhongsheng called.

Sima Haotian also quickly shoveled the soil, and soon exposed the brick wall buried in the soil.

Li Mo sat on the sofa, frowning and said: "Master's health is good and bad, after all, he is too old, and it is too tiring to go to the capital. I am afraid something unexpected will happen."

"It's iron, hurry up, dig the surrounding soil again."

"Expert Xue, I have found some clues, but whether it is useful or not needs to be confirmed. The weather is fine today, we still have some time to do some work, let's go."

"Placing the cement incense burner here is not coordinated, and it is also disrespectful to the holy land of Buddhism. How about smashing it all and recasting a tripod incense burner, and I will pay for the expenses incurred. How about treating it as the incense money donated by me?"

"Director Zhang, stop teasing me."

Gu Fang asked respectfully.

"Son, when will your work in Shaanxi end?"

A few minutes after Li Mo hung up the phone, another familiar person called in. It was director Zhang De'an. As soon as the call was connected, he heard his signature laughter.

"It's all on me, I know them all well."

"I'll meet those expert groups of Buddhist culture and archaeology later, and I'll trouble you to introduce them."

Thinking of this, Gu Fang was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Professor Li, I will hand over the work at hand as soon as possible, so as not to delay the affairs in Kyoto."

"Professor Li, from this point of view, opening the iron cover should reveal the stairs extending downward."

Until Li Mo appeared, these veteran Buddhist cultural archaeologists saw a glimmer of hope again.

The staff of the archaeological team looked at each other in blank dismay, is archaeology still like this?Only Sima Haotian was quite calm. The scene when he dug out the Kyushu tripod was spectacular. Ten large excavators dug more than ten meters deep to find it. The scene in front of him was simply too childish, like playing. .

He is now a small director of the management committee of a small scenic spot, and even the person in charge of the county rarely sees him once.It was definitely a stroke of luck to be transferred to the capital this time, and his son is also in the Yanjiao system. As long as Li Mo's affairs are handled beautifully this time, then he will definitely not treat his son badly.

The first batch of people who rushed over were the security personnel of the scenic spot, and then the people from the local police station. It took about four to ten minutes for the police force arranged by the county to be in place.As soon as the security personnel arrived, they began to cordon off and put up 'no approach' signs.

"I don't know yet. Anyway, I can't go back for the time being. Dad, you have something to say."

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, he was not joking, why did he think of customizing a program for himself.Could it be that the last time he participated in the Hundred Flowers Awards Ceremony was too popular, he still wants to get himself to the Spring Festival Gala again?

Li Mo and the others returned to the hotel to rest.

"Hahaha, then I'll be blunt. Can you take some time to visit the Beijing CCTV Spring Festival program preparation team? I want to tailor a program for you."

Although I have never met Li Mo before, his name is well known in the archaeological circle.The museums in Yanjiao, Kyoto can prove his ability, especially the birth of Zhou Tianzi's tombs and the Xia Dynasty Kyushu Ding, which made them, veteran archaeological experts, have to be convinced.

"Professor Li, such a large piece of iron seems to be like a cover. Could it be that opening it is the entrance to the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty? God, I can't imagine it, I can't believe it."

Sima Haotian looked at the cement incense burner again, suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Professor Li, do you think the entrance to the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty is under the cement incense burner?"

Li Mo got up and nodded, and said solemnly: "Nine times out of ten, you can't be wrong, but today's time is too late. To open the entrance to the underground palace, you can only open it tomorrow. Director Gu, please report the situation here to your superiors immediately, we need to make arrangements The police force is protecting this side. Before opening the entrance to the underground palace tomorrow, all surrounding areas will be sealed off, and no unrelated people are allowed to approach."

Xue Zhifeng, the oldest, is an expert hired back by the Bureau of Cultural Protection after retirement. He has presided over archaeological projects many times and enjoys a high reputation here.

"Professor Li, we all know your identity very well. As long as you take the initiative to participate in the archaeological project, you have never missed it, so I don't know if you have a rough judgment on the location of the underground palace of Fayun Temple in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Anyway, there's still about two months left. We'll send you the choreography work when the time comes. You can practice more in your free time. We'll be in Chenjia Village, Huizhou this year, and we'll make an agreement with you in advance."

"Professor Li, when do you think something will happen?" Sima Haotian looked at the sky, guessing that today is not enough, so he can only continue tomorrow.

"This is the place where eminent monks practiced meditation. Could it be that the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty is here?"

"Director Zhang, we are all old friends, if you have something to say, just say it."

At the former site of Shangxiang Buddha Hall in Fayun Temple, Li Mo and the archaeological team got to know each other.Li Mo was very polite to them, after all they were professional.

"At the beginning, it was because of insufficient budget that it was opportunistic. Since Professor Li said so, then I will send an application to the superior later, but you can't let you pay for it."

"Director Gu, how much would it cost to recast an incense burner of similar size?"

The belly of this cement incense burner is hollow, and the walls of the furnace are relatively thin. Therefore, after more than a dozen hammers, the cement incense burner will start to fall off in large pieces.Twenty minutes later, the cement incense burner was completely destroyed, and the master used a small cart to remove all the spilled cement blocks.

"Okay, Professor Li, I'll contact you now."

"There's something here."

"Professor Li, I sincerely invite you to join." Zhang De'an said more seriously. If Li Mo can participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, it will definitely increase the popularity of the whole show.He is so popular, as long as he goes on stage, even showing his face and saying a few words of blessing can become a hot topic.

Every master cheered, but Li Moke said that if something is discovered today, each master will get an extra five hundred yuan bonus.The area cleared by the metal block is getting bigger and bigger, and every time it is shoveled down, the sound of metal impact and harsh metal friction can be heard.

"Okay, let's decide first."

The underground palace of the Tang Dynasty has become a regret in the hearts of many archaeologists.

But such a sound came to the ears of those archaeologists, but it was like the sound of nature. They wished that the bigger the iron block, the better, because the bigger the better, the bigger the harvest.

Suddenly a master stopped, and then poked the soil layer with a shovel suspiciously, and there was something hard underneath.He quickly pushed aside the surrounding soil, revealing something like metal, and the shovel made a clanging sound when it hit it.

"The legendary underground palace of the Tang Dynasty is actually here. It's unbelievable if you don't see it with your own eyes."

"Professor Li is busy?"

Gu Fang took the initiative to take on this matter. Anyway, Li Mo has the bottom line, so he has nothing to fear.Five sledgehammer masters walked out from behind the crowd, and soon there was rhythmic sound of hammering in the huge courtyard.

The sun gradually went down, and the sky gradually darkened.The pit in the compound has been dug to a depth of nearly two meters.

The ten most precious treasures in the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty should not only be judged by their own eyes, but also listen to the opinions of these experts in Buddhist culture and archaeology.

"Do you feel that it is very uncoordinated? After all, this is a Buddhist holy place with a history of nearly 2000 years."

The staff at the scene couldn't help sighing, they wished they could remove the big iron cover that was in the way immediately.

"Professor Li, what shall we do next?"

"Dad, the main effect of the program group is to perform, not to watch actual combat. There are countless disciples in Chenjia Village, so you just need to choose a suitable batch."

"We have carefully inspected every house here, and found nothing suspicious."

"This is a good thing. If you can contact the live broadcast in a different place in Chenjiacun, and if your master's health allows it, then you can show your face. But Comrade Li, you can do it yourself, there is no need to tell me."

A group of people followed Li Mo and walked directly to the courtyard where the former abbot of Fayun Temple meditated.

"It's not that they need to go to Kyoto to live broadcast the scene, but to set up a stage in the Bajiquan Martial Arts Hall of Chenjia Village, and then broadcast live in different places through a connection. This traditional martial arts program not only invites Chen Family Bajiquan, but also invites Taijiquan, Baguazhang and other traditional martial arts, hoping to create a traditional martial arts unit program."

Before the sky completely darkened, a huge piece of iron was finally cleared out. It was more than four meters long and two meters wide. There were ten knobs on the surface that looked like clasps. The knobs had holes, which might be used for threading ropes. of.

"Professor Li, we have ready-made construction workers here, let them come."

Li Mo and Sima Haotian didn't get involved, but they were using wooden shovels to fiddle with the soil on both sides of the iron cover.

"Listen to what Professor Li said."

Before the construction of the new Fayun Temple, Xue Zhifeng also led the archaeological project to find the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty, but they did not find the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty. They only found an underground palace in the original collapsed stupa, and unearthed more than 1000 pieces of Buddhist antiques.

There are quite a lot of masters outside, so we arranged ten masters to form a circle and start digging the soil.

Li Mo took a sip of mineral water and said calmly, "It's coming, it's coming."

"Professor Sima, there is indeed a brick wall below."

"Professor Li, this cement incense burner is quite special."

The people who had waited for a long time gathered around, and Sima Haotian squatted down directly, cleaning up the dirt with a tool in his hand.

"Arrange the master to dig the soil from here, let's start."

It was a breakthrough. He even took a few photos and sent them together.The archaeological staff at the scene also had to temporarily suppress the idea of ​​opening the entrance of the underground palace immediately. Li Mo is the person in charge here, and the site conditions are not good, so they can only wait until tomorrow when all the equipment is in place.

Li Mo smiled, and looked back at Gu Fang who was a little embarrassed. He was the one who came up with this bad idea in order to save budget and time.

The others realized it later, and it was right to think about it. Who is Li Mo, how could he have trouble with a cement incense burner.The Management Committee of the Fayun Temple Scenic Spot doesn't care, what's his nosy, what's the fun.

There are more than ten days before Gufang will go to Kyoto to report, so he also wants to leave some traces here.

The archaeologists present all showed inconceivable expressions, which is too mysterious.If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have believed that the entrance to the Tang Dynasty Underground Palace was probably under this huge courtyard.

"Stinky boy, you've been thinking about those antiques all day long. I called to tell you because you are the third generation disciple of the Chen family's Bajiquan. The only ones who can support the scene are me, your uncle, and you. If you don't show up at that time, how can it appear that the Bajiquan of the Chen family is extraordinary."

"This can't be calculated for a while."

"This is what your master meant."

"Director Zhang, didn't your program group prepare a traditional martial arts unit? I am a student of Huizhou Chen's Bajiquan, and I have already been invited to participate in the Bajiquan performance. I can't participate in other programs as a clone."

"I know that there are quite a few disciples in Chenjia Village who understand Bajiquan. One more or one less will not have much impact. When you return to the capital, how about we meet first?"

"Director Zhang, I'll be back in about ten days, and I'll call you when I arrive in Kyoto."

"Okay, I'll hang up first, the meeting is still busy."
