golden escape

This tomb is about four or five meters away from the ground, and the entire area is about 100 square meters. Even in ancient times when land resources were not scarce, it was considered a certain scale. Such a grave cannot be dug.

For example, the tomb in Tianhai, which is more than ten meters deep, is made of bluestone. In the ancient times with strict hierarchy, people without any status may be thrown into prison before the tomb is dug.

Another example is Fang You in the Qinling Mountains, followed Zhu Papi and the others to find the mountain mausoleum. Relatives, princes and nobles have the capital to complete this huge project. This kind of tomb can no longer be called a tomb, but should be called an underground palace.

Fang You gradually walked to the front of the tomb and looked down. It seemed that the tomb had been explored and the entire tomb had been excavated. From a rough look, it seemed that there were four chambers.

The soil above it was completely dug out, and the tomb was not so luxuriously piled up with bluestone slabs, but with ordinary mud bricks. Up to now, it has been dilapidated and decayed to the end.

Elder Wei pointed at the tomb and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, the tombs of ordinary people like this are usually designed according to living people's houses. They are square and square, and there are four houses in them. This is basically a courtyard house on the ground. It was copied, which is also the beautiful vision of the ancients who wanted to continue to live in the tomb after death, and the same is true for these funerary objects."

Fang You nodded in empathy. The ancients enjoyed all the glory and wealth during their lifetime, but they still didn’t want to give up these things after death. Naturally, the scale of the tomb became larger and the value of the burial objects increased with the rank. come higher.

Although the whole body has been excavated, the subsequent cleaning and excavation work is much more difficult than before. Fang You can see that two tombs have been cleaned up, and some archaeologists are busy nervously. In the other two tombs, some places are still buried in the soil. Several staff members are holding tools and are gently cleaning the soil, keeping their eyes on the soil all the time to prevent damage to valuable cultural relics.

"Xiaoyou, although this tomb has not been cleaned up to the main tomb, we can see from the burial objects that although the scale of this tomb is larger than ordinary tombs, the burial objects inside are extremely ordinary. Wealthy family, but by no means a person of great status." Wei Lao said with a smile, from the overall structure of the tomb and the funeral objects, it can be seen that the true identity of the owner of the tomb can be said to be extremely ordinary.

After saying this, Mr. Wei changed the subject and continued: "Just like what I said to the archaeological team before, we must not excavate whichever tomb is of great value in archaeology. Although there are many valuable items in the tombs, there are also secrets that we need to explore in the tombs of these common people. Archeology is only for exploring ancient cultures, not for treasure hunting and treasure digging as it is said in TV novels."

"This is neither exciting nor fun, but a boring job, Xiaoyou, you have to be mentally prepared." Wei Lao took this opportunity to give Fang You a vaccination first.

Fang You smiled, "Old Wei, some theoretical knowledge and historical information on antiques are not equally boring to ordinary people, but antique collectors can watch them with relish. The same is true for archaeology, as long as you love it in your heart , then there won’t be any dull moments.”

Old Wei couldn't help applauding, Fang You's analysis was right, as long as he loves this industry in his heart, then for others, things that are boring, in the eyes of archaeologists, are full of fun and novelty.

Just like him, although he has seen countless tombs of princes and nobles, he was pleasantly surprised for a long time when he accidentally found a piece of porcelain in the soil when cleaning the tomb, even if the piece of porcelain was inferior in the end. The fun is not what ordinary people can appreciate.

Chao Dynasty and Li Qing, including some archaeologists, showed thoughtful expressions on their faces. Many people looked sleepy, and they looked completely new in an instant. After listening to Fang You's words, they all seemed to have returned to the first contact. During the archeology, the novelty and excitement brought smiles to everyone's faces, and they cleaned up the tomb below with anticipation in their hearts.

Seeing this, Old Wei couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. The casual words of this boy Fang can produce such a great effect. Unknowingly, this ordinary boy before has gradually possessed his own personality charm.

From the distance from the ground to the tomb, several earthen steps were dug to make it easier for the archaeologists to pass up and down. Elder Wei took Fang You and Wang Chao up the steps and walked all the way to the bottom of the tomb.

Going down to the tomb and taking the white gloves handed over by Elder Wei, Fang You immediately smelled a familiar smell, that kind of soil smell with a damp smell, in the eyes of others, it seems very disgusting, but in Fang You who has From the point of view of the ground mouse of the escape technique, it really feels like home.

However, the rotten smell mixed in it made Fang You frown. The smell of soil was not as bad as imagined, but with the rotten smell, it made people feel disgusted.

"Hehe, Xiaoyou, if you are not used to it, you can wear a mask." Looking at Fang You's frowning, Mr. Wei couldn't help but smile and said, Fang You's psychological quality is considered top-notch, and some students came to the tomb for the first time During middle school, not to mention seeing the mummy in the tomb, not a few people would vomit in a mess when they smelled this smell.

Fang You shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn't need it. From the time he got the escapism to the present, there are only two tombs he has set foot in. One is the Tianhai tomb made of bluestone slabs. There is only some damp smell inside. He didn't feel the rot, and he didn't smell such an unpleasant smell in the second tomb, that is, the prince's tomb in the mountain.

Maybe the conditions of these two tombs are very good, maybe it was because he was in the escapism at that time, the air was filtered by the escapism, Fang You smiled on his face.

Most of these tombs were buried in thick soil, unlike the Tianhai and Qinling tombs, which allowed people to enter without hindrance, just like the houses they lived in before their lives.

Mr. Wei put on his white gloves, picked up a small brush, and began to clean up the tomb in a planned way. He used the brush to brush out the mud in the tomb bit by bit, exposing the structure of the mud brick, and brushed , while explaining the knowledge to Fang You, he didn't talk too profound. After all, he just let Fang You understand and experience the archaeological environment first.

From time to time, a piece of porcelain was dug out, and Wei Lao wiped off the dirt on it with his white gloves with some surprise on his face, then put it into a bag and marked it with a mark.

Seeing the tiny brush cleaning the huge tomb like a snail, Fang You couldn't help being a little surprised. The archaeological work was so careful and serious, it was beyond his expectation.

Thinking of those tomb robbers holding sacks and filling them with the contents of the tomb, Fang You couldn't help but feel a little helpless. This archaeological work is really a thankless job. Not only do you have to face the misunderstanding of some people in the society, but you also have to bear such difficulties. Gentle working difficulty.

From Wei Lao's explanations and his own constant inquiries, Fang You has a certain understanding of archeology. Knowledge, in some places, he couldn't help but feel suddenly enlightened.

The appearance of the unearthed cultural relics is not unique. They are always under erosion and changes from the land environment, which is why the jade pendants have different colors.

The different features on each piece of unearthed cultural relics represent what kind of geological soil changes they have received. For Fang You, this is definitely a topic that interests him very much.

Using Elder Wei's satellite phone, after saying goodbye to his mother at home, Fang You followed Elder Wei to stay at the archaeological site.

Elder Wei has profound attainments in archaeology, and the same is true for antiques. When we are together with Elder Wei, it can be said that we have a lot of common topics.

Wang Chao and Li Qing also interjected a few words from time to time, but most of the time, they were listening carefully to the conversation between Fang You and Mr. Wei. They are well educated and talented, and only when they can meet Fang You, they know that they are just watching the sky from a well.

Even the introverted Dynasty would sometimes have such thoughts, but now, he is completely gone. Fang You's knowledge on antiques can reach the level of talking with Wei Lao. They didn't dare to do this kind of thing before. Imagine that Fang You is about the same age as them, but he is still studying with such an open mind, without any pride.

In the evening, some archaeologists took a car to the hotel in the town to rest, but Wei Lao insisted on living in the tent and spent the night in the cemetery with the soldiers outside.

Fang You's persuasion was fruitless, so he felt a little helpless, so he had to stay and live in another tent to prevent accidents from happening. After all, Mr. Wei is also getting old. If there is something wrong, these soldiers may not be able to handle it.

Wang Chao and Li Qing, on the other hand, were a little terrified of living in the cemetery at night, and returned to the hotel to rest.

Elder Wei was a little surprised at Fang You's courage, but Fang You smiled and said that he had been courageous since he was a child, and this was really nothing.

Indeed, Fang You could go in and out of the tomb by himself without any fear. What he relied on was not entirely escapism, but also his peaceful state of mind. Of course, escapism is also the most important thing to support him. Enter the tomb and give him the prime condition of courage.

If a person is terribly afraid of the tomb, even if he possesses escapism, whether he dares to enter the tomb is another matter.
