I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Zhang Xiaoxian looked at the jade scroll in front of her, frowned and said, "This is not the first time that the deceased has left a message for the later generations in the tomb."

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoxian looked at Professor Zhang: "Professor, do you remember the tomb discovered in Hebei?"

Professor Zhang nodded gently: "I still remember it clearly... Before his death, the tomb owner had already expected that his tomb would be discovered and robbed, so he simply left a key. There was no mechanism in the tomb at all, only a sentence left on the coffin: 'After all the money is gone, I will leave a good name to pass the autumn wind...'"

Xu Hao immediately continued: "At that time, Liu Bowen entered Zhuge Liang's tomb and found that the lamp oil inside was almost gone.

It is said that Liu Bowen saw a sentence left by Zhuge Liang in it, which roughly means "Little Liu, little Liu, hurry up and add oil." Although the meaning of this word must have changed later, it is not uncommon for ancient people to leave jokes for later generations. Could this jade scroll also mean this?"

Zhu Qingyang sighed after hearing this: "Just based on the words 'respectfully welcome the coming of the great masters of the future', it does sound like a joke left by the ancients to the future generations, which is understandable. But the most troublesome thing now is that the three numbers 788 are added to the end of this sentence, which directly changes the nature of it! Can it really be such a coincidence?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

It is indeed as Zhu Qingyang said, if we only rely on the previous sentence, it is similar to the jokes of many old friends who study classical hometowns, and there is nothing surprising about it.

But the problem lies in the last three numbers left. The meaning of this combination changes directly!

Professor Zhang sighed and said helplessly, "After all, there have been theories of the Three Talents, Four Symbols, and Five Elements since ancient times, and the ancients believed in them even more. Therefore, it is difficult to guess what the words left on this jade scroll mean... Whether it is a coincidence or not, no one can say for sure!"

After thinking for a moment, Han Feng took the jade scroll in his hand and said, "Master Mao, take this first. Maybe you can let the chief take a look at it after you go out. Maybe there will be some clues. At present, we are not sure whether the 788 mentioned above refers to a certain event, or..."

Han Feng didn't say anything else, but everyone else understood.

What confuses everyone the most now is this 788. Does it refer to the 788 Exploration Team?
Hearing this, Professor Zhang asked in surprise, "Comrade Lieutenant, are you going to take this jade scroll away?"

Han Feng immediately understood what Professor Zhang meant, and then said, "Professor, I know this is a cultural relic, but we do need to investigate it first. If we can't find anything by then, we will send it to the Cultural Relics Bureau."

Professor Zhang then nodded slightly.

Han Feng and others can actually understand this, after all, the military and the Cultural Relics Bureau are two departments.

This is the jade axis from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Once it leaves the tomb, it will become a priceless cultural relic. Its final destination must be the Cultural Relics Bureau, where it will be properly handled.

But this is only the case when nothing can be found. Once something is discovered, the 788 Exploration Team can fully intervene.

In other words, how to characterize the jade axis depends entirely on the information recorded above and the results of the investigation.

Of course, if this was just an ordinary object, it would be fine.

But if it is a spiritual treasure, then there is no need to say more. It directly exceeds the management scope and control qualifications of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Zhu Qingyang put the jade axis into the treasure chest. Everyone checked around again and were still very curious about this hall.

There are no buried bodies or any mechanisms here, as if they are really waiting for someone from the future to come...

This feeling made Zhu Qingyang and others feel quite strange, but the investigation had to continue after all.

No one has forgotten that the focus of this mission is to find out the reason why the dragon vein was damaged.

Following the compass, Han Feng walked straight towards the largest alchemy furnace in front of him.

But at this moment, a strange noise suddenly came to everyone's ears.

The sound seemed to come from inside the tomb wall, at an extremely fast speed, and it sounded like there were many of them.

"What is that? Is there any living thing in here?"

Zhu Qingyang frowned and moved closer to the tomb wall, listening carefully.

But the sound quickly disappeared.

There was deep doubt in Han Feng's eyes.

Although this place was indeed a bit strange, they didn't have time to investigate it in detail.

The archaeological team certainly wants to stay and conduct a thorough investigation, but no one knows whether they will encounter any danger after the 788 Exploration Team leaves.

Professor Zhang cannot allow the team he leads to take this risk.

So, in desperation, everyone could only follow the 788 Exploration Team as the core, follow their actions, and grasp as many clues and information as possible.

The more information they can bring out, the more they will gain when they write the archaeological report later.

Looking at the huge alchemy furnace in front of him, Han Feng thought for a moment, then gently pulled the handrail next to the furnace.

"Click..." The entire alchemy furnace suddenly rotated on a circular axis, and soon a tomb passage inside was revealed.

The archaeologists seemed used to it, but were still amazed.

788 always seems to find the most important mechanism to break the deadlock and open up new paths.

If it were them, they would probably be trapped here.

Even if you are lucky enough to find the mechanism, it will definitely take some effort.

What they didn't know was that what really played a crucial role was the inconspicuous compass in Han Feng's hand.

Han Feng actually knew nothing about the internal structure of this ancient tomb.

The reason why he could always determine a feasible path was all thanks to the guidance of the compass in his hand.

The eight positions correspond to the eight gates, and all Feng Shui in the world follows this principle.

Since the person who built this place was most likely an alchemist, it is naturally feasible to use geomancy to find a way out.

After all, even if one was an all-knowing alchemist, he would have to leave after building the ancient tomb. It was impossible for him to set up a dead end and trap himself inside.

It is based on this point that Han Feng can determine the direction, and he just needs to find the mechanism in that direction.

The group entered the tomb passage one after another, getting farther and farther away from the Xianfang Palace.

Due to time constraints, they had no time to conduct a detailed investigation, so they could only make a basic judgment: the Xianfang Palace should have been built by Qin Shihuang in imitation of the place where he made elixirs for himself in the capital of Xianyang.

However, there are still too many questions that remain unanswered.

Who was supposed to be buried in that empty coffin? Why was there a jade scroll with the words "Welcome the future masters" and "788" written on it?

Why did we see the image of Qin Shi Huang bowing when we stood on the 99th step and looked down? And who were those blurry figures on the opposite side?

These have become a mystery in everyone's mind.

If it weren't for the urgency of the dragon vein issue, even the 788 Exploration Team would probably have stopped and conducted a thorough investigation, let alone Professor Zhang and his team.

It's like having mountains of gold and silver around you, but you can only look at them and can't take them away.

Professor Zhang wanted to stop and solve this mystery from thousands of years ago, but he knew that without the 788 Exploration Team, they would be unable to move forward.

Therefore, Professor Zhang could only suppress this impulse in his heart and collect as much information as possible so that he could enter again with professional equipment later.

At this time, Professor Zhang did not know that this was not only the only time he would enter the depths of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, but even decades later, no one dared to set foot there.

……

At the same time, on a dirt road a few kilometers away from the SX Provincial Military District, a military truck was slowly driving towards the military district.

Because this is a military restricted area, apart from this truck, no other vehicles or pedestrians can be seen.

Sitting in the passenger seat was Yu Kaijian, the political commissar of the Kunlun Garrison.

At this time, his face was full of fatigue due to the long journey.

The driver was Yu Kaijian's guard, and even though he was a well-trained veteran, he was already exhausted.

On the truck behind was a huge object covered by a red cloth.

The object was several meters tall and very wide, occupying almost most of the truck.

Several hemp ropes firmly secured the object inside the truck bed.

Despite this, Yu Kaijian still reminded the guards from time to time: "Xiao Zhao, drive slowly, be careful of the things behind..."

The guard was very puzzled: "Commander, what on earth is in this car? Why do you have to deliver it in person?"

Yu Kaijian shook his head tiredly: "I don't know either. Captain Zhao said that this thing cannot be exposed to the light, and even if it arrives, the red cloth covering it cannot be lifted. So until now I don't know what this thing behind is. But Captain Zhao said that it must be delivered to the Western Shaanxi Provincial Military Region as soon as possible, and no delay is allowed before that. So, this should be a very important thing..."

The guard nodded in confusion: "It's really strange. This thing is very heavy, I can feel it, the truck can hardly move. And sometimes the road is bumpy, and you can hear strange sounds like hard objects hitting from behind. I really don't understand what Chief Chu is trying to do."

Yu Kaijian looked at the SX Provincial Military Region which was getting closer and closer, waved his hand gently, and said:
"Don't try to guess what the commander is thinking. Just focus on driving. You can rest when you get there..."

During this journey, Yu Kaijian hardly stopped, traveling day and night, and he was almost always in the car except for going to the toilet, eating and sleeping.

This truck has never stopped working. Three guards take turns driving it. The exhaust pipe of this new truck is now emitting black smoke.

Now that it’s finally here, everyone is breathing a sigh of relief.

The truck slowly stopped at the gate of the SX Provincial Military District, and the guard immediately reported to his superiors upon seeing it.

Soon, the news reached the ears of the leader Yu Zhi.

But he felt very confused because he had not received any notice before and Yu Kaijian's arrival seemed a bit abrupt.

"Something sent from the Kunlun Mountain Garrison? Do you know what it is?" Yu Zhi asked.

The clerk who came to report shook his head and said doubtfully:

"I don't know, but it's very strange. It's covered with a red cloth and looks like a big object..."

"Big thing?" Yu Zhi was even more confused. He really couldn't figure out what was in the truck.

The Kunlun Mountain Garrison and the SX Provincial Military District are far apart and have never had any intersection. Why would the political commissar of this garrison personally deliver a large item?

Yu Zhi frowned, stood up and walked out while saying, "Let's go out and take a look."

At this time, in the military area, the entry of this military truck attracted the curious onlookers of the soldiers.

The things in the carriage were very conspicuous. They looked to be several meters high and were tightly covered with red cloth. The soldiers were guessing what was inside.

"Could it be a new type of weapon?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Have you ever seen anyone send a new type of weapon wrapped in red cloth?"

"Then what do you think this is?"

"Could it be munitions?"

"You are going even further. Even if they were sending arms and ammunition, they were sent from the war zone. What does it have to do with the Kunlun Mountain Garrison?"

The soldiers talked a lot, but no one could explain it.

The military truck slowly stopped in front of the office building. The guards and soldiers got off first, followed by Yu Kaijian, who got off with a tired face and yawning.

After he stood on the ground, he realized that his waist and back ached, and he kept beating his back with his hands. This trip really made him very tired.

In the wind and rain, Yu Kaijian held up an umbrella and looked back at the mysterious big thing with concern: "Check again to make sure it is covered tightly? Captain Zhao has given an order that this thing cannot be exposed to the sun or moon!"

The guards quickly checked around the military card, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did Yu Kaijian feel relieved.

But until now he was still wondering what exactly he had gone to so much trouble to transport.

At this time, Yu Zhi came out of the building and immediately saw the military truck and the large object covered with red cloth at the back.

From the outline alone, it is really impossible to tell what it is.

Yu Zhi stood in front of Yu Kaijian in confusion.

Yu Kaijian immediately perked up and saluted: "Yu Kaijian, Political Commissar of the Kunlun Mountain Garrison District, is ordered by Regiment Commander Zhao Qi to deliver this item to the SX Provincial Military District for handover..."

"Hello, Political Commissar Yu, I am Yu Zhi, the head of the Shaanxi Military Region! Thank you for your hard work during the long journey!"

After Yu Zhi returned the gift, he immediately asked in confusion: "Political Commissar Yu, what is this?"

However, what Yu Zhi did not expect was that Yu Kaijian shook his head and said, "Commander, I don't know what this is either. Captain Zhao Qi just asked me to deliver it to you, and asked the Xishan Provincial Military District to send it to Mount Li and hand it over to the 788 Exploration Team."

After hearing Yu Kaijian's explanation, Yu Zhi immediately asked in bewilderment: "Political Commissar Yu, how could you not know what the thing you personally delivered was?"

As he said this, he walked to the military vehicle in confusion, obviously wanting to take a look.

But seeing this, Yu Kaiji immediately reminded: "Commander, Captain Zhao Qi said that this thing cannot be exposed to the sun or moon, please be careful!"

Hearing this, Yu Zhi became even more puzzled.

He looked at Yu Kaijian suspiciously, then lifted a corner of the red cloth and looked inside.

Inside the red cloth was an object that looked quite strange and rare.

But the well-informed Yu Zhi recognized it at a glance - it was a bianqing (bian, qing), a very ancient musical instrument from the Han Dynasty. (End of this chapter)
