Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

The mountain wind blew loudly, raising clouds of dust.

The slope was very steep, and the ground was rugged and uneven. It looked flat, but when I stepped on it, half of my leg sank into the snow cave.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!"

My eyes were so dry that when I wiped them, my face was scratched with sand and tears, as if needles were pricking me.

"Li Ding'an, your grandma is so stupid... you don't even want to help me?"

Li Ding'an didn't move.

As soon as Fang Zhijie stood up, he glared back.

If you don’t let Lao He try it, do you still think I sleep every day?

But how many years has it been since He Anbang climbed a mountain?

After walking for half an hour, He Anbang had to breathe for almost 20 minutes, so it usually only takes an hour to reach the top, but today he walked for half a day...

Fang Zhijie sat back angrily.

"He Guan, now you know how much I suffered and how much hardship I endured before I found this place, right?"

"nonsense?"

It's not like he didn't watch the video: In order to find this place, Li Ding'an traveled all over Qinglong Mountain. He climbed so many mountains like this that he couldn't even count them.

"So, whoever dares to withdraw his project, I will fight with my life!"

"Your uncle?"

He Anbang was angry, laughing, and helpless.

He wanted to withdraw, but he had to agree from the curator.

Besides, there is no point in withdrawing the project: Li Ding'an can't resign?

I'm afraid the locals will go crazy with joy...

"Give me one..."

He Anbang sat down and grabbed Li Ding'an's cigarette case.

After smoking two cigarettes, they waited until he was almost rested before they got up.

The summit was a few dozen meters away. It was relatively easy to walk. He climbed the mountain in one breath. He Anbang panted and turned around, stopping next to a huge rock.

The stubble is still very new, with gravel scattered underneath, and a dozen meters down is the cliff.

Li Ding'an almost died here...

"gone!"

Li Ding'an patted him and went down the mountain from the north.

The solitary peak stands tall, and there are cliffs on both the west and north sides. Only the east and south sides can be walked, and the cave is on the shady slope in the north.

After passing through the pine forest and several dozen meters of shrub belt, He Anbang saw the cave.

He looked around and his eyes slowly widened: "You can't even see a sheep's hoof print. This is purely a primitive forest. How did you find it?"

"Use a compass!"

Bullshit?

"You don't understand even if I tell you..."

He Anbang was choked.

He really doesn't understand.

"Then how to investigate and how to excavate?"

"Don't worry, the ruins are all on the surface. The amount of work won't be too large. Large machinery is basically not needed. People can come up."

"The problem is that not everyone can come up?"

He Anbang pointed to the mountain road, "Don't tell me, are you planning to let the veteran experts from the expedition team climb up like you and me?"

Who is not an old man? He can't even take a few steps on a flat road...

Li Ding settled for a moment: "Can't they just sit in the office and look at the materials?"

He Anbang squinted his eyes: "What do you think?"

It's a bit impossible indeed.

Excavation project approval is only the second step. The key also involves a series of reviews such as site level, later scenic spot project development, etc. The review team must conduct on-site inspections.

"If that doesn't work, get a helicopter and let them fly up!"

"The more you say it, the simpler it gets. Is your family running the helicopter factory?"

If you can’t get it yourself, can’t you get it locally?

Li Ding'an was too lazy to argue with him.

He rested for a whole week, but Ma Xianming and Zuo Peng were not idle.

Ma Xianming led researchers to do preliminary protection, while Zuo Peng led migrant workers to carry out construction: the entrance of the cave was expanded several times, and several flat areas were built on the southeastern hillsides.

The area is not small, totaling three to four hundred square meters. Once the excavation is confirmed, a temporary camp can be erected here.

The workers were in full swing, cutting down trees and cutting grass. When the foreman saw Li Ding'an, he pressed the intercom quickly, and Ma Xianming and Zuo Peng emerged from the cave.

"He Guan, Teacher Li!"

"How are you preparing?"

"Everything is ready!"

Li Ding'an nodded and entered the cave.

There are a lot of people, including everyone from the National Expo project team.

After preliminary cleaning and protection, more than ten lights were set up. Compared with the gloomy and dusty scene in the video, the cave has a completely new look.

The murals are bright, the star map is brilliant, and the copper pillars are shining.

He Anbang's eyes were filled with intoxication: "What a miracle?"

It seems common now, but in ancient times, there was nothing wrong with this statement...

"Stop being emotional, let's talk about it first, what should we do next?"

"You're the person in charge, you ask me?"

The curator's original words: Li Ding'an will be in charge of the project for the time being, and he will cooperate well after he leaves.

He Anbang asked again: What if his brain gets hot?
The curator said: Don't worry, he can't get hot!

There are probably other arrangements, but the curator didn't say anything, and He Anbang didn't have the time to ask...

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "Then dig it!"

"Dig now?"

"if not?"

Yu Sicheng gave him three months, and he must return to Beijing when the time is up.

Don't talk about the Emperor's treasure then, even if you find the Jinshan Mountain, it will be useless...

Zuo Peng hesitated: "Teacher Li, are you too impatient?"

What he means is: Even if you don’t have to wait for the entire approval process to be completed, you must at least wait for the materials to be submitted and a clear reply from above.

For example, after reading the materials, the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism both had a clear tendency to believe that the site was of great value for excavation, and then organized experts to conduct on-site inspections...and wait until then to dig.

But Li Ding'an couldn't wait any longer: the New Year would be over when the relevant district departments submitted the materials!

It's not that the district doesn't pay attention to it, on the contrary, it pays too much attention: I always feel that the materials are incomplete and the wording of the application is not rigorous enough.

Li Ding'an tactfully reminded Mi Shundong and Qin Long: As long as the existing materials are available, you can feel free to hand them over and don't worry about the rest.

Mi Shundong and Qin Long also wanted to give it a try, but the district leaders disagreed: What if they are beaten back?
So it’s been almost a week and I haven’t prepared all the materials yet…

"Let's dig!" Li Ding'an was very sure, "The project will be approved!"

He Anbang waved his hand: "Then dig... the old horse and transfer people!"

How dare Zuo Peng say anything?
Ma Xianming gave an order and the project team started moving.

It sounds simple to say it's digging, but it's actually quite complicated.

The cave is not buried, it is like an underground palace that has been uncovered and opened. It is naturally formed and relatively easy to excavate. It only requires squaring, cleaning, collecting, photography, video, drawing, and model making.

And for such a large place, the scope of cleaning and collection is not that big: pestle marks on rammed earth, chisel marks on the cave roof, spade marks on the cave wall, and traces of key supports and layouts, etc.

And collect cultural relics simultaneously.

But there is a lot of trouble outside the cave: with ancient technology, how long would it take to build such a large project, and how many craftsmen and tools would be needed?
How many relics and traces are left behind?

We also need to find the road that leads the copper materials up the mountain, the smelting address, the work place, camping and living place of the craftsmen, and trace back and restore the entire construction process, methods and techniques... The scope is too wide, there are too many traces, and it is very complicated. It is also very slow, and the excavation time is at least measured in "years".

Li Ding'an couldn't care about it anyway, and he didn't want to care either.

He tried his best to check the accurate coordinates, determine the location of the ruins, and excavate important cultural relics...

Ma Xianming divided the plan into groups, each group drew drawings and conducted preliminary data collection, and then made specific plans after returning home.

Zuo Peng coordinates technicians, scouts, migrant workers, and logistics... As long as he works hard, he can excavate all aspects of the large area in at least two or three days.

At almost three o'clock, Zuo Peng left a group of people on duty while the rest went down the mountain.

Halfway through, He Anbang realized why Li Ding'an kept living in the mountains.

Going down the mountain is harder than going up the mountain...

Continue the next day.

Today was better. At least Lao He knew to follow the footsteps of those in front of him instead of relying on experience.

The time was shortened by half, and we were up the mountain in one and a half hours.

"how do you feel?"

"I...what do I think of you?"

He Anbang was panting and tired, like an old cow that had plowed ten acres of land.

"I asked you not to come, but you insist on coming?"

nonsense!

The project team all went up the mountain, and the curator hid in the hotel to sleep?

Even if he is sitting still as a mascot, he still has to come...

He Anbang didn't have the energy to argue, so he sat at the entrance of the cave and panted while Li Ding'an arranged the work.

"We will collect construction and man-made traces later. Today we will group into groups to explore the bottom and find the edges... Note that the soil in the cave is just a layer of floating soil formed by fallen ash. It is very thin. The scraping movement should be gentle and try not to damage the runes on the floor tiles... "

"Are there bricks and runes in the ground?" He Anbang took a look inside, "Have you checked them?"

"No need to probe!"

Li Ding'an pointed to the copper pillars and the star map on the roof of the cave: "They match!"

Can this thing be matched?
He Anbang looked at Ma Xianming, who shook his head: Don't look at me, I don't understand either...

"Luo Qingliang and Lin Jun take the camera, and the heads of each group will take notes!"

Each group enters the cave in turn. Each group has three people, one technician or explorer, and two migrant workers. They are only responsible for the area within a four-meter radius.

Scraping is very simple: use a shovel to scrape away the naturally formed floating soil and find the edges and layers of the ruins.

The key is to be careful.

After the assignment, Li Ding'an entered the cave and observed the star map on the copper pillar.

At his feet is the golden Buddha, which has been covered with a protective cover. He Anbang cannot see it even if he wants to see it.

He followed Li Ding'an and looked at the star map on the pillar.

"What are you looking for?"

"The location of the magic weapon is also the location of the cultural relics in this formation!"

"Just dig slowly!"

"Correct!"

But Li Ding'an couldn't wait...

After a second thought, he took out the compass from his bag.

He Anbang's eyes lit up: He knew that Li Ding'an found the ruins with this thing, but this was the first time he saw him using it.

As the compass turned, Li Ding'an muttered something: "The emperor came out of Zhen, Qi Yuxun, met each other in Li, served Kun, fought in Qian, worked hard in the mountains, and made his words in Gen... Zhen and Dui intersect, and the three sevens join ten... …This is the morning and evening position…

Kan and Li intersect, one nine joins ten, and the palace of two arrivals occurs. This is the position where Kan and Li shake the four righteousness... Qian and Xun are opposite, six four join ten... Kun and Gen are compatible, two eight join ten... Qian, Kun, Gen and Xunda For the four corners of the land..."

He didn't speak slowly. Fang Zhijie stood beside him and took notes, his pen almost starting to smoke.

He Anbang listened very carefully, but he was just confused.

"What are you doing?"

"calculate!"

Li Ding'an put away the compass and took the small notebook from Fang Zhijie's hand: "Watch Ding Kun, go up to Yi Bing and Xun water. See Gen on A, Xin Ren is on duty... The Heavenly Palace is in the north, and the Guest Palace is in the south... Use The "Burial Sutra" formation? This is the underworld..."

After a pause, he walked out of the stone room again, stared at the more than 20 square meters, and pondered for a long time.

"No. 7, 15, 22...Old Ma, clear these three pieces as soon as possible..."

"You found it now?"

"It's almost the same. It's not too far off."

He Anbang was very surprised: "So simple?"

Just your size?

Do you know how much information I checked, how many formulas I memorized, and how many stars I looked at?
In order to understand this set of things, Li Ding'an spent more time and energy than learning the knowledge of cultural relic identification...

"How about you try it too?"

He Anbang said "ha".

Not to mention the calculation, when he saw the densely packed characters and symbols on the compass, he felt a big headache...

"You pointed at three places, meaning there are only three magical weapons?"

"How is it possible? The Three Talents, the Four Symbols, the Five Elements, the Eight Diagrams, and the Nine Stars are all available in any direction, but I estimate that the magical artifacts in these three directions are the most valuable... No, it's four..."

Li Ding'an pointed to the small stone room, "That's where the Heavenly Palace is, and the most valuable thing is there!"

"Bronze pillar, Buddha body?"

"These two are array guides, and there should be another one...not under the copper pillar, but under the monk's buttocks...Xiao Fang, go out and ask Director Zuo when the incubator will be shipped up?"

The copper pillar cannot be moved for a short time, but the monk can still move it.

Fang Zhijie nodded: "I'll go now!"

He ran out of the cave quickly, and as soon as he ran to Zuo Peng's side, there was a "ta-ta-ta-ta" sound in his ears.

What, a tractor?
Of course it's impossible. This place is so choked for people to come in...

Looking around, Fang Zhijie was stunned: What did Teacher Li say yesterday?

The construction workers on both sides also stopped and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Zuo Peng was stunned for a moment: "Teacher Li, He Guan, Ma Suo... come out and take a look!"

The three of them came out of the cave.

In the sky... To be more precise, it should be in the south. There are two small black dots flying towards this direction.

He Anbang narrowed his eyes: "Li Ding'an, what is that?"

Are you nearsighted?

Planes, of course...helicopters.

Ok?
The two were suddenly stunned and looked at each other.

Li Ding'an swore that he just said it casually yesterday.

The point is, where did this thing come from?
"Could it be like what you said yesterday: it was obtained from the city or transferred from the district?"

"Probably not, otherwise Director Zuo will be notified, and then we will be notified."

Right.

As he spoke, the plane reached overhead. It was a coincidence that the flat ground that had just been created was used as the apron.

The engine was turned off, the hatch was opened, and the ladder was lowered.

More than ten people got off the plane, all wearing protective clothing?
Good guy... so formal?
According to regulations, everyone must wear protective clothing when entering the site, at least into the inner chamber (underground palace), whether for inspection or excavation.

This is Li Ding'an's fault: he thought the local people would prepare it, but when he asked Zuo Peng for it, Zuo Peng said he didn't buy it.

There is no other way but to wear gloves and shoe covers first...

After looking around, Li Ding'an squinted his eyes: "He Guan, look, does the second person who got off the plane on the left look like Director Wang?"

Wang Yongqian... inspection team?
Came by helicopter...

He Anbang suddenly leaned back: Li Ding'an's mouth is definitely open... (End of this chapter)
