Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 2 Wulian Tomb
Nothing to say overnight, the next morning.

Lu Cheng pulled two suitcases and followed his father out.

A domestic four-wheel-drive SUV was parked at the door, and there were already two people sitting in it. One was Lu Tianming's colleague, Lao Huang, who was proficient in jade from the cultural management office, and he was about 50 years old; the other driver, "Xiao Chen", was relatively young. less than 30 years old.

Lu Cheng put the suitcase into the trunk and saw his father and Lao Huang sitting in the back row, so he sat in the co-pilot's seat.

As soon as he got in the car, he took the initiative to say hello with a smile: "Brother Chen, how many hours have you been driving this way? If you feel tired, you can replace me. I also have a driver's license."

The driver, Xiao Chen, declined with a smile: "The distance is not too far, it takes about five hours. Xiao Lu, how many years has it been since you got your driver's license?"

"Two years, but not much driving."

"That requires more practice. There are not only high speeds on this road, but also rugged mountain roads. To be honest, it is a bit dangerous."

Hearing what he said, Lu Cheng stopped talking, fastened his seat belt, took out his phone, and started reading online novels.

Lu Cheng liked martial arts novels when he was a child, and he finished reading Jin, Gu, Liang, Huang, and Wen when he was in junior high school. It is a pity that these old gentlemen died and died, and no new books came out, so he could only read online novels , including fantasy, fairy tales, comprehension, time travel...

He has a special liking for cultivation novels, and because of this, he is very interested in cultivation. After several years of sitting meditation, he has reached the point where his limbs are warm and his dantian is slightly warm. In the realm of comprehension, it is equivalent to approaching the Qi refining period.

However, despite several years of practice, there is no miracle in him, neither the fist strength to kill a cow across the mountain, nor the leg skills to leap ten meters away, and it is impossible to fly in the air and overcome the center of the earth like a bird gravitational.

The car is moving forward at high speed, and the scenery on both sides is constantly changing.

Lu Cheng didn't care too much about the scenery outside the car, his heart was immersed in the novel world.

At 12 noon, the car arrived at Wulian County.

The group got out of the car for lunch and then continued on their way.After driving for more than an hour along the narrow concrete mountain road, we came to a wilderness.

The car stopped and everyone got out of the car.

Lu Cheng looked up and saw a 800-meter-high mountain standing in front of him. Next to the mountain, there were two round hills tens of meters high.The hill on the left is much shorter, with people's heads shaking on it, and many people are working.The hill on the right is quiet, no one can be seen, and it seems that the ground has not been broken.

Lao Huang waited and watched and praised, "Hey! These two earth-enclosing platforms are not small! Who would have thought that such a hill is actually an ancient tomb!"

Lu Tianming also admired: "This size of the Fengtu ruins is even more magnificent than the Mojiaoshan ruins."

Lu Cheng can also be regarded as a family tradition. He likes to watch archaeological documentaries, and knows that the Mojiaoshan site is a representative of the Liangzhu culture.

The Mojiaoshan site is located 25 kilometers northwest of HZ City. The central mound of the site is about 670 meters long from east to west and 450 meters wide from north to south, with a total area of ​​about 30 square meters and a soil layer as thick as 10.2 meters.There are three small mounds on the big earth platform, which are in the form of three legs: Wugui Mountain in the south, Xiao Mojiao Mountain in the north, and Da Mojiao Mountain in the east. ".

The two sealed mounds in front of me are 50 meters high, and their momentum surpasses the big earth platform of Mojiao Mountain.

Lu Cheng turned his head and looked around, and saw a lot of cars parked beside him, including buses, cars, and several excavators.

At this time, Lu Tianming had already taken the lead and walked forward.

Lao Huang and Xiao Chen followed.

Lu Cheng was at the end, moving towards the hill along a small path.

When I came to the foot of the hill, I saw a cordon surrounding it, and a sign was erected beside it, reading "Ancient ruins, no one is allowed to enter."

There are also a dozen or so soldiers in camouflage uniforms standing guard around, responsible for maintaining law and order and preventing outsiders from taking pictures.

A young girl, who should be an archaeologist, came up to Lu Tianming and said to Lu Tianming with a smile: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Huang, welcome to both of you."

Lu Tianming asked: "Xiao Li, what level has the seal soil been dug to?"

The girl replied excitedly: "The five floors were excavated, revealing the chariot and horse pit, the accompanying tomb, and the top of the stone mound. Teacher Lu, hurry up and have a look! The chariot and horse pit alone is astonishingly large!" Seven vehicles, 28 tigers, 35 giant bears, 48 ​​leopards, and dozens of bears have been found... In addition, there are some large bird skeletons..."

"What? Isn't there just one bird?"

"Mr. Lu, you don't know. The chariot and horse pit at the right rear of the tomb is full of huge birds. I don't know exactly how many there are."

Hearing this, Lu Tianming's eyes lit up, he quickened his pace, and said as he walked, "The giant bird pulls the cart? It's really unbelievable!"

Lu Cheng's heart also became agitated, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that the tomb of the immortal has been dug up? Is there a Kowloon coffin?"

Of course, such words cannot come out of his mouth.This is the 21st century, an era that emphasizes science and breaks superstition.Moreover, this is a national archaeological site, if he speaks nonsense, his father will lose face.

Several people walked up the hill quickly and faced the archaeological site.

The archaeological site is huge in scale, with the top of the hill flattened, more than 500 meters long and 400 meters wide.There is a huge stone mound in the center, which is square in shape, with a side length of more than ten meters, and is full of exquisite patterns.

There are eight accompanying tombs in front of the stone mound, only one is being excavated, and the remaining seven have been marked and have not yet been excavated.

Behind the stone mound, there are two chariot and horse pits, each of which is more than 30 meters long and [-] meters wide.Among them, the chariot and horse pit on the left has been dug out, revealing the skeleton of a tiger, leopard and bear; the chariot and horse pit on the right is being excavated.

In addition, not far from the stone mound, there is a round altar, which turned out to be a huge piece of jade!Fully carved!
At this time, many people wandered around the stone tomb, the altar, and the chariot and horse pit. Some were digging carefully, and some were excitedly and inexplicably researching.In the air, drones are flying to record and take pictures. This is a national-level archaeology, and every step is recorded.

Someone brought a non-disclosure agreement and asked the newcomers to sign one by one.

Lu Tianming and Lao Huang signed seriously; Lu Cheng also signed without saying a word.

After signing the name, Lu Cheng followed his father to see the tiger, leopard and bear.

"This is not an ordinary tiger. This is a saber-toothed tiger. It is more than five meters long. Look at this tooth, it is at least 25 centimeters. It is said that the saber-toothed tiger became extinct 1 years ago. Unexpectedly, there is a saber-toothed tiger pulling a cart... ..."

"This is not an ordinary bear, it is a long-extinct short-faced bear, over [-] meters tall..."

"This should be a prehistoric panther, much bigger than the existing leopard..."

As Lu Tianming spoke, he kept admiring, his expression excited and uncontrollable.

Lu Cheng stared wide-eyed, full of doubts in his heart: "Dad, don't you think this is weird? Who would pull a cart with tigers, leopards and bears?"

Lu Tianming smiled all over his face and said, "You are still young, so read more and talk less! Just wait for the excavation results. Just like the Sanxingdui ruins, isn't it amazing that the bronze statue of the god was unearthed? This is the meaning of our existence as archaeologists." , discover ancient monuments, investigate history, and reveal the truth.”

Afterwards, he walked towards the chariot pit on the other side.
