I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 168 Your ancestors have a lot of say down there ( words long chapter)

Anling City, suburbs.

A light cloud floated in the sky, and the sunlight penetrated through it, falling like a golden thread, casting mottled light and shadows on the mountaintops.

The air was filled with the freshness of freshly turned soil, and along with the breeze, it brought a slight coolness.

Several people present stared at Lin Chuan in shock.

Qin Sisi held the archaeological shovel in her hand, not caring about the sweat on her forehead. She looked at Lin Chuan with a pair of bright eyes, a little surprised, but also with joy: "Lin Chuan, does that mean that there is an ancient tomb under our feet now?"

Lin Chuan looked at the direction of the mountain range, then looked at the traces of soil, and nodded.

At this time.

Director Su Yu came over, looked at Lin Chuan, and asked, "Comrade Xiao Lin, then... use two shovels."

"You can try it."

Lin Chuan nodded.

Director Su Yu immediately took out his cell phone, made a call, and called some archaeological staff over.

Soon.

A group of archaeological excavation workers in gray uniforms came running over with instruments and equipment.

"Director, Expert Lu, where should we dig?" the staff asked.

Archaeological expert Lao Lu looked a little embarrassed and said nothing.

Su Yu looked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan used the archaeological shovel to anchor a few points, and then directed: "Dig down seven or eight meters from here, we should be able to dig out the brick layer of the tomb chamber."

"Do as Comrade Xiaolin said." Director Su Yu echoed.

The staff immediately did as they were told, using the archaeological shovel to move it up and down, piling the soil far away and continuing to dig.

Qin Sisi is active on the front line.

Her job is to dig tombs and conduct archaeological research, so she is very concerned about it and also digs with an archaeological shovel.

Several people present stared closely at the staff's excavation, wanting to verify whether Lin Chuan's judgment was correct.

What I just said, whether it is observing the mountains and the soil, smelling the odor, or looking at the humidity, are all part of the judgment.

However, the final result has not yet come out. No one dares to say that the judgment is absolutely correct.

Only when the ancient tomb is dug up will everyone be able to put their minds at ease.

"Lin Chuan, is there really an ancient tomb down there?"

Under the big tree, Shen Qianqian handed Lin Chuan two tissues and asked in surprise.

"Nine times out of ten."

Lin Chuan took the tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I've seen tomb robbers on the Internet. Before digging up ancient tombs, they also do things like searching for dragons and looking for mountains. However, before they start digging, they always perform some rituals that people can't understand. What are those for?" Shen Qianqian asked curiously.

Lin Chuan's eyes fell on the mountains in the distance and he smiled: "Different factions have different practices. There are many taboos in tomb robbing. Some even burn a few sticks of incense."

"Then why don't you use it?"

Shen Qianqian blinked and asked with a smile.

"Our faction..."

Lin Chuan was about to speak when he suddenly turned to look at Shen Qianqian: "Officer Shen, you are trying to trick me."

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Comrade Lin Chuan, I am not trying to trick you."

"I was almost trapped by you."

Lin Chuan laughed dryly and spat, "Alas... I wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch."

"Comrade Lin Chuan, I just asked a little more because I saw that you were very skilled." Shen Qianqian pinched her thumb and index finger, with a distance of half a centimeter between the two fingers.

"Qianqian, you don't know me yet. I'm a serious person. Don't always treat me as a criminal suspect." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"It's because I know you too well. I'm worried that you have some shameful past, so I want to find out about it in advance." Shen Qianqian said half-jokingly.

"A clean life, with a record of victories that can be verified."

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"So, you are not a tomb robber." Shen Qianqian asked sincerely, blinking her eyes as bright as autumn water.

"Well, of course not."

Lin Chuan coughed lightly and argued cunningly.

He looked at Shen Qianqian, who was smiling and a little playful.

From thieves to tomb robbers, I've been dealing with her since the beginning.

She knows herself too well.

But, to be honest, I am robbing tombs in the virtual world, so you can't say that I am a tomb robber, right?
As long as I don’t rob tombs in real life, even the Jade Emperor can’t catch me.

Right?

"Lin Chuan, I have one more question." Shen Qianqian said with a smile.

"You ask." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Nowadays, online writers are so competitive that they need to know tomb-robbing skills such as finding dragons and locating tombs to write an archaeological novel?" Shen Qianqian asked curiously.

Lin Chuan thought about it and laughed dryly: "He's crazy."

The era of online novels that wrote about the good-for-nothing who broke off an engagement, the rural miracle doctor, the domineering president who fell in love with me, and Long Aotian is gone forever.

Without some professional skills, you can't survive in the online literature circle.

Hey……

A breeze blew, bringing with it a hint of coolness, blowing up a few strands of hair at Shen Qianqian's temples and stirring the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Archaeological staff are also professional in excavation.

The archaeological shovel moved up and down, shovelfuls of soil piled up in the distance, beads of sweat fell to the ground, and soon a hole seven or eight meters deep was dug.

The further they dug, the more cautious the archaeologists became.

Because, it is very likely that we are already close to the burial chamber of the ancient tomb.

laugh--

In a pit seven or eight meters deep, a young and strong archaeologist, with his feet on an archaeological shovel, immersed himself in the soil again.

Suddenly, he felt the shovel head hit something hard, like a stone.

He immediately put away the archaeological shovel and used a hand shovel instead.

Shovel away the top layer of soil little by little.

Finally, the soil was removed and a flat stone was revealed underneath.

The surface of the stone is flat, as if it was chiseled by humans.

The archaeologist glared and shouted, "Come quickly, there is a discovery here!"

The sound came from the pit and immediately alarmed everyone on the ground.

"what have you found?"

Director Su Yu immediately leaned down and asked loudly.

"I... I dug into the stone brick layer!" the archaeologist replied immediately, his voice a little breathless.

Director Su Yu's eyes lit up, and his face suddenly lit up with joy: "We found it, we really found it!"

Qin Sisi was very concerned. She also came over and quickly used a shovel to clean the dirt next to the bricks, revealing a few bricks.

"It is indeed here!"

She stopped what she was doing, swallowed, and murmured softly.

The appearance of stone bricks undoubtedly confirmed that Lin Chuan's judgment was completely correct.

"Director, how do we dig next?"

Qin Sisi came back to her senses, looked at Su Yu and asked.

At this time, archaeologist Lao Lu volunteered to show off, so he said, "Director, let me take charge from now on. I'm familiar with this."

"Old Lu, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious."

Director Su Yu raised his hand and pressed it.

Then, he walked quickly towards Lin Chuan, with a look of great joy on his face, and gave a thumbs up: "Comrade Xiao Lin, you really have a keen eye!"

"It was just luck." Lin Chuan said modestly.

This was the first time that he used the method of 'dragon-hunting and locating + looking, smelling, asking and feeling' to determine the location of an ancient tomb in real life. So far, the effect seems to be quite good, and he really found an ancient tomb.

It seems that the secret art of tomb raiding has some truth to it.

"Where should we dig next?"

Director Su Yu is not without his own opinions, but now, he feels that he should ask Lin Chuan for his opinion.

After hearing this, Lin Chuan looked up at the direction of the mountain range, and made a rough judgment in his mind. He smiled and said, "According to the two cultural relics found by the Cultural Relics Protection Studio, and the fact that they can be buried in this Feng Shui treasure land, the status of the owner of this ancient tomb must be not low, at least the governor of a county."

"Comrade Xiaolin's reasoning is good." Director Su Yu nodded.

"In Feng Shui, if you look at the direction of the mountains, that's where the dragon's head is."

Lin Chuan raised his hand and pointed to a mountain peak. "That side is the dragon's tail. This place is on the dragon's spine. The head of this ancient tomb should be facing north and the feet facing south. This is also in line with the characteristics of the Han Dynasty tombs. So if you want to dig protectively, you should dig to the south and enter from the tail or side of the tomb."

"I thought so too." Archaeological expert Lao Lu curled his lips and muttered.

However, he has clearly fallen out of favor.

Now Director Su Yu’s eyes are full of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan said it was 'head facing north, feet facing south', so just as Lin Chuan said, dig towards the south and look for the tomb entrance.

The biggest difference between archaeology and tomb robbing is that archaeology is a protective excavation, while tomb robbing is a destructive excavation.

The latter makes a one-time sale, takes the treasure and leaves.

If it was Lin Chuan.

In the virtual world, he didn't care about all that. He just dug a hole, broke through the stone brick tomb, went in, took the things away, and completed the level.

However, this is the real world, and there are many things to consider when conducting archaeological conservation excavations.

The number of archaeological staff continued to increase, and the excavation speed became faster and faster. After more than an hour, the appearance of an ancient tomb appeared before everyone.

This is a typical underground brick chamber tomb from the Western Han Dynasty. Judging from its appearance, it is a noble tomb from the ancient Lingnan region.

It is exactly as Lin Chuan said.

The entrance to the tomb is on the southern side.

At the entrance of the tomb, a huge blue-gray rock covered with mud blocked the view of everyone.

There is no other entrance except this one.

After the archaeological staff cleaned up the boulders.

Lin Chuan looked up and found some animal patterns carved on the boulder, shaped like a white tiger, which was a beast-suppressing tomb chamber.

There are two small holes at the base of the thumb, and the dirt on the holes has been cleaned.

"Bring me the cutter!"

Upon seeing this, archaeological expert Lao Lu was very excited and immediately shouted.

He has finally reached an area that he is familiar with and can perform well!

Enter the tomb!

For modern archaeological teams, cutting machines and electric drills are common tools.

If you encounter a tomb door that cannot be opened, just use tools to cut it.

save time and energy.

Once you enter the tomb, the subsequent work will be much simpler.

The archaeological staff immediately brought a handheld stone cutting machine to Lao Lu.

At this time.

Old Lu glanced at Lin Chuan and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Lin, although the location of the tomb is unique, entering the tomb still depends on the skills of us old guys. You will see me cutting with this stone cutter. This is also a technical job. I think you will be able to use it in the future."

Lin Chuan glanced at the handheld stone cutter and twitched his lips: "Expert Lu, there is no need to use this, right?"

"If not this, what should I use?"

Old Lu originally wanted to show off in front of Lin Chuan, but after hearing what Lin Chuan said, his brows immediately frowned.

"What if we don't have this cutter when we are in the wild, won't we be able to enter the tomb?" Lin Chuan asked back.

This operation is a bit like some large "clinics".

Before seeing a doctor, routine procedures include having a blood test, a CT scan, and an ultrasound, otherwise you will not be able to see the doctor.

The same is true for experts like Lao Lu.

Without modern instruments like cutting machines, we can only watch helplessly.

Obviously, the archaeological team in Anling City is not as professional as the national team, and lacks many relatively professional inheritance skills in the field of archaeology.

Even the director, Su Yu, was stunned and said, "Generally speaking, if the stone door is sealed, using a cutter or drill to make a hole is the fastest way to get in."

Lin Chuan looked at Qin Sisi with a puzzled look.

Qin Sisi also nodded.

She studied archaeology in the history department. The courses she taught in college were basically about the characteristics of tombs and cultural relics in different periods, geographical knowledge, historical background, and how to protect tombs and cultural relics.

As for professional skills training and professional practice, they will visit museums, visit some famous tombs that have been excavated locally, and watch the protection and restoration of cultural relics.

After graduation.

Even in the Anling City Archaeological Team, not everyone knows these things.

Everyone used methods such as cutting stone doors and drilling holes with drills, and she even took it for granted that this was the correct way to conduct archaeological excavations.

She had only seen the secret techniques of tomb-robbing, such as "locating dragons" and "looking, smelling, asking and feeling", which Lin Chuan demonstrated today, on the Internet.

Therefore, she found it magical.

Yes, it's magical.

I never expected that these ancient tomb robbers’ techniques actually existed.

It's a bit like the feeling of a person who has always received scientific education and believes in science suddenly seeing a Taoist priest flying with a sword one day.

In Qin Sisi's eyes, Lin Chuan is the 'flying Taoist priest with a sword'.

This immediately opened the door to a new world for her!

Lin Chuan was also stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought, thinking to himself, yes, how could someone who knows these tomb-robbing techniques be in the Anling archaeological team?

These people are either tomb-robbing gangs or are in prison.

Every one of those who are not in prison is a sought-after commodity by archaeological teams from all over the country.

Ok.

call--

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Actually, using a cutting machine is also a good idea."

When archaeologist Lao Lu heard Lin Chuan's approval, he nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Lin Chuan and suddenly felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye. He said in a condescending manner: "Young man, watch carefully and learn well!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the stone gate carrying the stone cutting machine.

"Expert Lu, wait a moment."

Lin Chuan stopped the 'experienced' archaeologist and said, "Aren't you afraid there might be a trap if you cut it open so rashly?"

"organ?"

Old Lu was startled for a moment, then grinned, "What kind of trap is this? Two thousand years have passed since the Western Han Dynasty. The trap has long been broken. There's nothing to worry about."

"Do you really think so?" Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.

"I've opened the stone doors of several tombs and have never seen any mechanisms. Don't worry." After Old Lu started to like Lin Chuan a little, his tone of voice became better.

"How many tombs have been opened?" Lin Chuan asked.

"one two Three……"

Old Lu counted on his fingers, "Four, five, five in total."

Lin Chuan grinned and said, "Expert Lu, your ancestors have a lot of say down there."

"What do you mean?"

Archaeological expert Lao Lu frowned.

"When you get home this time, burn some incense for your ancestors." Lin Chuan smiled, then raised his hand and pointed, "Expert Lu, do you see the row of small holes on the side of the stone door?"

Lao Lu looked at it, nodded, and asked in confusion: "I saw it, what's wrong?"

Su Yu, Qin Sisi and Shen Qianqian behind him also looked in the same direction and saw a row of small holes on both sides.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, “If you use this cutting machine to cut the stone door, if you are not careful, the two rows of small holes will shoot out arrows and string you into a string.”

Old Lu's expression changed, and a trace of fear appeared on his face: "No way?"

"Why not?" Lin Chuan asked back.

"It's been so long, shouldn't the mechanisms be rotten and out of service?" Old Lu asked in a daze.

"We can all think of this problem. Do you think our ancestors have also thought of it?"

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

hiss!
Old Lu and the people behind him took a deep breath, and complicated expressions appeared on their faces.

"Doesn't that mean there is no way to enter the tomb?"

Old Lu was a little puzzled.

Lin Chuan glanced at Lao Lu and said with a smile: "It is a tomb, not a death point."

Old Lu curled his lips and muttered quietly: "Then how do we open the stone door and enter the tomb?"

"let me try."

After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he looked around the stone gate and the ground, then found a palm-sized stone nearby and threw it out.

This move is called throwing a stone to ask for directions.

Being cautious and meticulous is always the first element for a tomb-raiding lieutenant.

You don’t have to rob the tomb, but you have to save your life.

Fortunately, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the stone rolled all the way to the stone gate without any accidents.

Only then did Lin Chuan walk over with peace of mind.

He walked to the stone door, gently hooked his index finger and knocked on it. The stone door immediately made a 'dong dong dong' sound, which was a bit dull.

However, one could hear that the "dong dong dong" sound was echoing slightly in the stone gate.

This two-meter-high stone gate is not completely solid.

Lin Chuan looked at the stone door from a close distance and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.

This stone door looks like the mold of the stone door mechanism in the virtual world!

The more they look, the more they look like each other!

"Could it be that the system was lazy and took materials from the real world to make a stone door mechanism mold for me?" Lin Chuan muttered to himself.

However, Lin Chuan didn't think much about it.

His eyes fell on the animal pattern that resembled a white tiger.

There are two small holes at the base of the thumb.

Lin Chuan took a flashlight and shone it inside. There were many small protruding pieces, like the convex surface of a mechanism. Then Lin Chuan reached in and touched it.

Huh?
The convex and concave feeling is exactly the same as the stone door mechanism mold in the virtual world.

Lin Chuan will never forget this feeling.

This is his first time opening the stone gate mechanism!

After confirming the mechanism of the stone door, Lin Chuan inserted two fingers into the small hole of the stone door, touched one of the protruding points, and suddenly exerted force!
Two-finger caving!
