Chapter 268 The Surprising Discovery of the Burial Pit

...The third update is here, and there will be another update in the evening...

Mercury was unexpectedly found in the burial pit. This discovery made everyone in the archaeological team puzzled.

"Professor Shen, what...what's going on here?" Someone beside him couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, and asked directly.

Shen Boping's research in this area is more professional than many people here, so he also represents authority.Especially his various behaviors after he went down to the tomb made everyone think that Shen Boping knew the reason for the tomb.

Shen Boping was looking at the tomb pensively, when he heard someone ask, he couldn't help but smile wryly: "You ask me, I don't know either, let's talk about it after the sample test report comes out."

A group of people left the burial pit with doubts and went down the mountain to return to the farmhouse. Jin Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking Yu Yang: "Taro, why was Professor Shen so shocked when he saw mercury in the tomb just now? Is there something very valuable in that tomb?" thing?"

Yu Yang couldn't help but laugh: "You just know that archeology is the excavation of antiques, so they are all valuable, right?"

Jin Xiaoxiao curled her lips: "Isn't it? If you dig out a 2000-year-old national treasure, it will naturally be valuable."

"That's what citizens of Shengdou think." Yu Yang stroked his forehead and sighed, "Little Jinzi, you have to know that the value of an antique is not that it is worth so much in itself. Maybe those things were worth so much in ancient times. It’s just scrap copper, rotten iron, and broken clay pots, but after the baptism of time and precipitation, it is excavated by us again, and it becomes a national treasure.”

"Have you ever thought about why those things became national treasures after they were unearthed?" Yu Yang turned his head and looked at Jin Xiaoxiao, "It's because they have research value and allow archaeologists to make up for the gaps in history through research. Do you think these archaeological The family came to this place to come to this place to camp for several years. Why? It was to study the history. The excavation of these tombs is of research value, so they would come to this place at any cost, just to study human beings. diachronic civilization."

"Little Jinzi, you are too worldly. Grandpa Jin's attainments in archaeological research are no lower than my grandfather's. How come you haven't seen any genetic factors in you? Those antiques can't be blasphemed with words like valuable. Those things Its value is not reflected in money, but in diachronic research..."

Jin Xiaoxiao can only listen to Yu Yang's preaching with a bitter face. She doesn't know anything about archaeology. She is a pure layman, unlike Yu Yang.

Taking advantage of Yu Yang's inattention, Jin Xiaoxiao winked at Wu Yu. She was not interested in any archeology at all, but just wanted to know what happened to the mercury.

"Why did that professor lose his composure just now? Is there something wrong with that mercury?" Wu Yu got a hint and had to help Jin Xiaoxiao out of the siege, and quickly asked a question to divert Yu Yang's attention.

When Wu Yu interrupted suddenly, Yu Yang couldn't reprimand Jin Xiaoxiao anymore, so he could only stare at Jin Xiaoxiao, and then turned his head to look at Wu Yu helplessly.

Wu Yu stuck out his tongue with a smile, and the group of people looked at Yu Yang eagerly, waiting for him to explain.

"Mercury is also called mercury, you all know this?" Yu Yang looked at the Daqing Mountain behind him, and said quietly, "There was a record in "Historical Records" that the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was "passing through three springs, lowering the copper to form the coffin, and the palace view Hundreds of officials, strange utensils are hidden all over them. Mercury is used as the rivers and seas of hundreds of rivers, and the machine is instilled. The ancients had a special complex for the mausoleum, so they did everything they could. The tomb of Duke Heng of Qi in Linzi, Shandong, the tomb poured quicksilver into a pool."

"Mercury is a poisonous heavy metal, but in ancient times, so much mercury was produced and transported in such a large amount that it was even used in the burial pit. This means that the identity of the owner of the tomb is definitely not so ordinary." Yu Yang's eyes were dark and bright.

Jin Xiaoxiao suddenly came alive: "Then what is the identity of the owner of this Han tomb group?"

Yu Yang cast her a glance, and Jin Xiaoxiao immediately died.

"Judging from the things unearthed in the accompanying burial pit, the owner of the tomb was at least an aristocrat in the Western Han Dynasty. In ancient tombs, the burial objects were very different due to the status and wealth of the family. However, it is possible to have such a large burial pit , at least it can prove that the owner of this tomb definitely belongs to the royal and grandson noble class."

Su Qingdai stood aside without saying a word. Hearing Yu Yang's final judgment, she had to say a word of convincing.Although Yu Yang is not very old, he can hear so many famous names only through observation and inquiry along the way, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Yu Qianguo's grandson really has real skills, no wonder even a staid old man like Shen Boping treats Yang differently.

At night, several professors came down to the farmhouse to rest, and the samples sent for testing also came back with results.As soon as Shen Boping saw the test report, he was very excited: "Great discovery, oh great discovery!" Then he took a few professors and started walking towards the mountain.

Jin Xiaoxiao and the others probed their brains, wanting to know what they found.Seeing that the professors Shen Boping was about to enter the mountain again, they all wanted to follow them to have a look.

At night, Su Qingdai would not let them go up the mountain, and she already knew the result, so she was not very interested in the burial pit.The stalking and stalking by several people didn't make Su Qingdai let go.

"The mountain is not safe at night, and after a wanted criminal fled into the mountain a while ago, the police have not been able to catch him. That's why there are so many armed police officers on duty for the archaeological work there, just for safety. There are so many of you Going up the mountain without anyone looking after it will be very dangerous.”

As for Ma Jianglong's case, no matter how hard he searched since he was arrested and escaped last time, he was still unable to find any traces of him, which made Liu Daxinying and his group feel very frustrated.After all, they have been tracking this case for nearly two years, and if the case is not solved, more cultural relics will only be lost.

"Huge Mercury Burial Pit Discovered in the Han Tomb in Qinghe Village"

"Mercury was buried in a big pit, and thousands of people were buried with him"

"Restore the truth—thousands of living people were buried with them, who made the big deal?"

In mid-October, with the further excavation of the burial pit, the mercury tomb in the burial pit was also further excavated. To everyone's disbelief, the mercury tomb was actually a living burial pit, and the mercury in it was above. Thousands of thousand-year-old corpses all died in very strange shapes. At first glance, they seemed to have died in an abnormal state.

This discovery shocked the entire news circle for a while, and countless reporters came here admiringly. Many media reported such a headline that day, and there were many speculations about the Han Dynasty tomb in Qinghe Village.

"Qingdai, read the report! It's from the Han tomb in your village again. My God, there are all dead people in the mercury pit!" Jin Xiaoxiao watched the TV news with great interest while eating, seeing the excitement, Couldn't help but tugged at Su Qingdai's sleeves and shouted, "You said those people are not pitiful, maybe they dug the tomb by themselves, and if they didn't pay attention, hey, they were pushed into that pit alive and were directly crushed by mercury. It's poisonous!"

Wu Yuben read the report with relish, but when he heard what Jin Xiaoxiao said, his face immediately turned pale, and he didn't spit out or swallow the food he was chewing, so he could only look at Jin Xiaoxiao resentfully.

However, Jin Xiaoxiao didn't feel at all how tough her words were, instead she asked, "Oh, Wu Yu, why do you look so ugly, are you uncomfortable?"

Wu Yu was very depressed, rolled his eyes at Jin Xiaoxiao, and decided to stay away from Jin Xiaoxiao when eating in the future.

"I'm serious, what Potato said, that's how living burials are, first dig the hole, and then push it down when you're not paying attention!" Jin Xiaoxiao didn't care at all, while eating happily, while Said, "Qingdai, your village is really on fire this time! Just one burial pit is so shocking, haha, I wonder if there are several Western Han female corpses in the main tomb!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Su Qingdai was eating well, but when she heard Jin Xiaoxiao's bold words, she was so frightened that she choked her throat with a mouthful of food and coughed continuously.

Jin Xiaoxiao didn't realize how powerful her words were, but Su Qingdai was so surprised that she stared straight at Jin Xiaoxiao several times.

Fortunately, it was just Jin Xiaoxiao's joke, otherwise, Su Qingdai would really think that she was born again.

However, Jin Xiaoxiao was right in saying that a group of Han tombs was discovered in Qinghe Village. This news has been reported for half a month, but the media has no intention of stopping. There are already special reporters stationed in Qinghe Village. Go online, waiting to follow up and report on the excavation of the Han tomb at any time.

At the same time, some people who smell business opportunities have already started to think about Qinghe Village.It is not possible for every village to be able to excavate Han tombs in Daqingshan.

Zhou Limin has called Su Qingdai several times in a row. Recently, he has received several groups of businessmen, all of whom are thinking about investing in Qinghe Village.

Fortunately, Su Qingdai had anticipated this situation before, and discussed it with Zhou Limin and made an explanation.No matter how tempting the outside businessman offers, don't agree.When the above policy comes down, the investment funds of the Su family and the Zeng family will definitely not disappoint him.

Zhou Limin has been the village head of Qinghe Village for more than 20 years. He has only one idea, which is to lead the whole village to a well-off life, so that the elderly and children in the village can live a good life.

Although Zhou Limin didn't know anything about investment, nor did he know anything about the travel plans Su Qingdai mentioned, but he knew that the Han Tomb could benefit the villagers, and all the businessmen were using the guise of investing, but none of them People were able to agree to his conditions, but the people from the Su family were the first to propose it, and came up with a practical plan.

It was for this reason that he realized that only by cooperating with the Su family could he hold the development power of the tourist base in the hands of the Qinghe people themselves, instead of falling into the hands of outsiders, who would benefit those treacherous people for nothing. black merchant.
