Chapter 889 Archaeological Work Ended
He decided to completely record the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin before and after the changes, including the symbols and astrological charts on it and the changing relationships between them.
However, the symbols on the Zhenjiang dragon coffin are huge in number, complex and diverse. Although Chen Wenjin tried his best to transcribe and copy them, progress was still slow.
Two hours passed, and he had only copied a small part of the symbols. At this moment, a strong sense of dizziness came over him, and he had to stop writing and rub his temples.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I suddenly feel so weak?" Chen Wenjin wondered in her heart.
However, what shocked him even more was that when he picked up the notebook again to continue copying, he found that the symbols and astrological maps on the Zhenjiang dragon coffin had disappeared without a trace!
The nine golden dragons that had disappeared were once again entwined around the coffin!
Chen Wenjin stood there in a daze, watching the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin change into two forms in a short period of time. He was shocked beyond words. He began to wonder whether the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin was really a form of ancient river burial, and whether there was any connection between this coffin with two completely different patterns and normal burial methods.
Just as Chen Wenjin lowered her head in deep thought and tried to find clues, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Are you sure the things are in the yard behind here?"
"Of course, leader. As soon as your archaeological team arrived, you pushed the big thing into the backyard. Fortunately, our yard is big, otherwise there would be no place to put it." The answer came from the owner of the guesthouse.
Chen Wenjin's heart tightened when he heard this. He quickly closed the notebook and hid it in a hidden place. Then he walked quickly to the door and met the middle-aged man who was respectfully brought in by the boss.
This middle-aged man wore a pair of myopic glasses and looked to be in his forties. He had fair skin and looked like an intellectual.
However, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty and oppression. Chen Wenjin recognized him at a glance - it was her immediate boss Zhou Dawei!
"Director Zhou, why are you here?" Chen Wenjin had a bad feeling in his heart. He remembered Zhou Dawei's urgent tone on the phone and became even more worried.
Zhou Dawei sneered and strode towards the center of the yard. His eyes quickly fell on the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin that was hastily covered by Chen Wenjin.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Are you worried that if I don't show up, you will throw the cultural relics that you have salvaged with so much effort back into the river? As the leader of the archaeological team, how come you don't even have this awareness?" Zhou Dawei said as he stepped into the yard, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation about the Zhenjiang dragon coffin.
The owner of the guesthouse was always curious about what the rectangular object was and wanted to take a closer look, but Chen Wenjin blocked him outside the door in time.
"Boss, you should go about your business first. We'll call you if we need anything." Although the boss was a little unhappy, after all, taking a look wouldn't cost him anything, but considering the particularity of archaeological work, he finally nodded.
"Okay then, call me if you need anything." After saying that, he left the corridor, looking back every few steps.
Chen Wenjin turned around and found Zhou Dawei squatting in the corner, seriously uncovering a corner of the canvas covering the Zhenjiang dragon coffin.
Immediately afterwards, an expression of disbelief appeared on Zhou Dawei's face, a mixture of excitement, fear, and even a hint of awe!
Chen Wenjin walked forward, intending to have a good talk with Zhou Dawei about the uniqueness of the Zhenjiang dragon coffin and whether it should be considered for return. However, Zhou Dawei spoke first: "It is truly a masterpiece of nature!"
Just this one sentence made Chen Wenjin's heart sink. It seemed that it was unrealistic to return the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin to the river in a short period of time.
Zhou Dawei's exclamation almost announced that there was no hope of returning the Zhenjiang dragon coffin.
Chen Wenjin pursed her lips, feeling conflicted. She didn't know what to do next.
Zhou Dawei coughed lightly, as if to cover up his previous gaffe, then stood up, put his hands behind his back, and put on an official air.
"Captain Chen, I asked you on the phone to send this thing to the county as soon as possible. Why do you sound reluctant?"
Chen Wenjin looked at Zhou Dawei deeply. She really wanted to tell him all the records about the dragon coffin in her notebook. She also wanted to tell him that this thing might be far more complicated than they imagined.
This is not just an archaeological issue; the Zhenjiang dragon coffin may represent a deeper area that they have not yet touched upon.
Thinking of the meaningful words of the old village chief, Chen Wenjin felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Chen Wenjin mustered up the courage to stand up straight: "Director Zhou, I have something to tell you."
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We are all colleagues and can discuss anything." Zhou Dawei said as he glanced at the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin again, then walked to where Xiaoxue had just sat, picked up the stool and sat down.
"Director Zhou, I know that as members of the archaeological team, we should have the knowledge and determination to fight against superstition, and at least have the courage to break the four olds. But..." Chen Wenjin said here, looking at Zhou Dawei with a flickering look in his eyes.
Sure enough, Zhou Dawei's expression changed. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and suddenly laughed strangely.
"Captain Chen, I expected that you might be confused. But you can't be blamed entirely for this. After all, the sudden appearance of something so amazing and extraordinary is a huge shock to everyone's worldview. It's normal for you to have such thoughts."
"I just took a look. If we can conduct long-term research on this thing, the conclusions we will draw may completely overturn our worldview. This thing is really extraordinary!" After saying that, Zhou Dawei was so excited that he could not sit still. He stood up and paced back and forth in the yard.
"It seems that we must take this thing away as soon as possible. We cannot delay for a moment, and we must transport it with the highest level of confidentiality. We must not let the existence of the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin be leaked."
Chen Wenjin didn't expect things to turn out like this. She hurriedly took two steps forward and stood between Zhou Dawei and the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin. "Director Zhou, I hope you can listen to me! This matter is not only important to me, but also to the safety of the lives of the residents on both sides of the salvage site!"
Zhou Dawei obviously didn't have the patience to listen to Chen Wenjin's long-winded words. "You don't have to tell me so much. I felt that you were not in a good state when I was on the phone. Maybe your archaeological team is too tired recently. So I rushed here overnight just to nip this in the bud before you make a mistake."
Chen Wenjin was hesitant to speak. Looking at Zhou Dawei's resolute attitude, she knew that there was no room for easing the situation.
If Zhou Dawei had not seen the Zhenjiang dragon coffin with his own eyes, he might have considered her suggestion. But such a magical and precious dragon coffin was right in front of him, and no one would easily let go of this opportunity.
Chen Wenjin herself was deeply shocked, let alone Zhou Dawei?
Zhou Dawei looked at the time and said with a smile: "Captain Chen, your archaeological team has really worked hard during this period. I have prepared the application materials for you in advance. After this matter is over, I can let your entire team take a month of paid leave as a small compensation for you."
If it were normal, Chen Wenjin, as the archaeological team leader, would definitely be grateful. But now, her mind was full of Zhang Hao and the old village chief's words. Not only did she not feel any joy in her heart, but she felt more and more guilty.
If they arbitrarily salvaged and took away the Zhenjiang dragon coffin, causing the residents on both sides of the river to be implicated or even their lives to be in danger, wouldn't their entire archaeological team become accomplices?
Thinking of this, Chen Wenjin became more determined. Even if she didn't return the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin to the river for the time being, she would first go back to the village by the river to ask if there were any strange things happening or people had died. This would at least allow her to feel more at ease when transporting the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin.
So, Chen Wenjin didn't know where she got the courage from, but when she saw Zhou Dawei was about to leave, she suddenly reached out and stopped him.
"Director Zhou, I am the person in charge of the salvage operation and the team leader. I hope you can respect my position and responsibilities and listen to my report."

"This is not just a relationship between superiors and subordinates. What's more important is that we need to find out whether the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin itself will bring other negative effects." Zhou Dawei was suddenly stopped and seemed a little displeased. He stared at Chen Wenjin sharply.
"Captain Chen, I hope you understand who you are and who you are talking to. I came all the way from the county town this time. Do you think I just came to see you? I just guessed that you might have your own ideas and something wrong with your thinking, so I came to correct you."
Zhou Dawei lowered his head again, his eyes fell on the watch on his wrist, and nodded slightly, as if making some kind of confirmation.
"It should be about time," he said slowly, his voice calm and steady, "In about ten minutes, the transport vehicle I arranged will arrive. By then, I will immediately start transporting this thing to the county town."
His tone revealed an unquestionable determination, and his face was cold and emotionless.
Zhou Dawei turned his gaze to Chen Wenjin again, as if he was giving his final instructions.
"Your archaeological team's mission has been successfully completed. Next, whether you choose to take a vacation and go home, or apply to excavate other sites, I will seriously consider your request."
Chen Wenjin's heart tightened. She keenly caught the subtext of Zhou Dawei's words. This meant that once the Zhenjiang dragon coffin was transported away, the archaeological team would be completely cut off from all future research work. A strong sense of uneasiness and unwillingness surged in her heart. She couldn't let everything end like this.
So Chen Wenjin mustered up her courage, took a step forward, and almost used all her strength to hold Zhou Dawei who was about to leave. Zhou Dawei obviously did not expect Chen Wenjin to do this. His body swayed slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "What do you mean? Do you still want to take action against your boss?" His voice was low and majestic, and his tone was full of warning.
"Chen Wenjin, I hope you can clearly understand your position! You are the head of the archaeological team, but I also have the right to revoke your position at any time! Are you rebelling by not complying with your superiors' arrangements?" Zhou Dawei's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Chen Wenjin's heart.
However, at this moment, a flurry of footsteps broke the tense atmosphere in the room. The owner of the guesthouse pushed open the back door of the yard with a smile on his face, followed by a Jiefang brand truck and several strong middle-aged men. They were obviously arranged by Zhou Dawei in advance, with only one purpose - to transport the Zhenjiang dragon coffin.
Zhou Dawei ignored Chen Wenjin's obstruction. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and began to instruct his men to carefully load the Zhenjiang dragon coffin onto the vehicle. "Remember, this is an extremely precious cultural relic! If there is any mistake during transportation, all of us will be blamed!" His voice was firm and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Chen Wenjin's heart.
Watching those people start to move the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin, Chen Wenjin felt a deep sense of powerlessness rising from the bottom of her heart. She began to doubt her original decision. Why didn't she listen to Zhang Hao's advice? Now, everything seems irreversible.
However, Chen Wenjin did not give up. She clenched her fists, her heart burning with anger. Although Zhou Dawei was her superior, she could not watch things go on like this. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then slowly turned to look at Zhou Dawei.
"Director Zhou... please don't be so anxious. Can you listen to me for a few words?" Although Chen Wenjin's voice was weak, it was full of determination.
Zhou Dawei frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Wenjin's insistence. "Come on, stop talking here! Can't you see I'm busy? Go do your work and don't bother me!" His tone was full of impatience.
Chen Wenjin sighed helplessly. She knew the current situation was very difficult. But she couldn't just give up. She had to fight for the last chance for her team members and the people on both sides of the river. So she secretly made up her mind to try her best no matter what the result was.
Chen Wenjin turned around and walked upstairs quickly. She knew her team members were resting at this time, but she had to disturb them. She pushed open the door and saw that the team members were immersed in their dreams. She couldn't help but feel guilty. But she knew that the situation was urgent and she had to do this.
"Hurry! Don't sleep! Get up!" Chen Wenjin's voice was particularly loud in the silent night. The team members were awakened by her roar, rubbing their eyes and looking at her in confusion.
"Captain...what's wrong? What happened?" they asked one after another.
Chen Wenjin looked at everyone, feeling helpless and anxious. "I'm really sorry for my bad attitude just now. But this is urgent, please listen to me first. Director Zhou has sent someone to move the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin." (End of this chapter)
