While looking at the dark coffin below in trance, Xiao Bai suddenly noticed a small seal two centimeters square appearing under his feet.
Well, all the cultural relics unearthed from ancient tombs with texts can help archaeologists better analyze the identity of the tomb owner.
However, Xiao Bai felt a little strange that this small seal actually appeared on the ground.
The strange thing is not that the small seal was bounced to the ground, but that the seal should be placed in the coffin of the tomb owner.
Taking out a pair of disposable plastic gloves from his backpack, Xiao Bai gently picked up the small seal.
After a while.
Looking at the position of the bottom of the seal, Xiao Bai had some doubts about life.
What are the words on this small seal?
Unlike what Xiao Bai had guessed before, this tomb does not appear to be from after the Yuan Dynasty. After all, the positive carvings on the seal are not the nine-fold seal script common in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Zhuwen, nor are they some kind of seal script.
It's not even what Xiao Bai has learned. It's the ancient seal script, bird and insect script, etc. that were used before the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
If you have to say what it looks like, the yang carvings on this small seal are more like some complex totems.
Interesting.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Bai suddenly became interested.
As a future archaeologist, he was not afraid of trouble.
Things he had never seen in the tomb before piqued his interest even more.
Soon, with the sound of police sirens in the distance, Xiao Bai stood up from the ground and greeted the police in the distance.
After a while.
"Hello, my name is Xiang Yang. Are you the one calling the police?"
Seeing a police car approaching, Xiao Bai frowned slightly.
"Hello, I am the police caller. Can you please send more people? The four of you may not be enough."
Xiang Yang was obviously stunned when he heard Xiao Bai's words.
Originally, when he was notified that ancient tombs were leaking out following the earthquake, he didn't take it seriously.
Because no large tombs had ever been found in Xiangyun County, he just thought that the earthquake had damaged the tombs of local villagers. He thought that he would deal with it quickly, find the owner of the tomb, and notify the descendants before he can go back.
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, he walked towards the crack and took a look, and was stunned.
"Ancient tomb?"
Seeing the shock on the faces of Xiang Yang and others, Xiao Bai nodded.
"Yes, and it's getting late. I personally think it's at least more than a thousand years old, so I asked Captain Xiang to report to the top and dispatch some people to set up a cordon to prevent villagers from looting."
"I have already called the Cultural Relics Bureau. If you are worried, you can contact us again."
"I just took a look. The ebony coffin below is a bronze coffin. This is extremely rare in the archaeological history of our country."
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Xiang Yang nodded blankly, and it took him a moment to react.
"Are you a tourist? Or are you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai took out his ID.
"National Archaeological Institute."
After checking Xiao Bai's ID, Xiang Yang felt relieved.
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, please wait here for a moment. I need to make a few calls to report to my superiors."
Watching Xiang Yang run away, Xiao Bai sighed softly.
Accidents always come so quickly, and it seems that my trip with my sister will be postponed.
Just when he was about to call Xia Keke to inform him, Xiao Bai suddenly felt something moving in his right hand holding the small seal.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp stabbing pain.
Resisting himself from screaming, Xiao Bai spread his right hand and saw that the small seal had changed its appearance.
The original printed pattern had completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only a plain seal with no writing on the bottom.
this……
what happened?
Seeing this situation, Xiao Bai opened his mouth in surprise.
Could it be that he just had a hallucination?
It is possible that some ancient tombs have accumulated a lot of toxic gases because they have been closed for a long time.
When the ancient tomb is suddenly opened, the outpouring of toxic gases may indeed cause hallucinations.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai brought the small seal to his eyes and looked at it carefully again.
I turned over and over for a while, but couldn't see anything useful.
This seems to be an ordinary small bronze seal. The seal is an unknown little beast, and the bottom surface appears extremely smooth at the moment.
But the sting just now was too real.
Could it be that his hand is cramped?
As Xiang Yang made several more calls.
Half an hour later, more than a dozen police cars arrived at the scene.
Also arriving with him were personnel from the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau.
Several personnel from the Cultural Relics Bureau hurried to Xiao Bai's side as soon as they got out of the car.
When they saw clearly the situation of the large tomb in the rift, they all took a breath.
Because no one thought that such a huge ancient tomb could be found in the Yunling area, in the small plain of Xiangyun County.
"Mr. Xiao, right? I am Hou Liang, deputy director of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau. Personnel from our provincial Cultural Relics Department and the cultural relics unit in the Imperial Capital are on their way."
"I wonder if you could first tell us about the situation of this tomb and how it was discovered?"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai nodded.
In fact, he didn't have much to say. As for why he came here, he could only say that he was doing a live broadcast on cultural relics protection and wanted to inspect the special cultural relics here.
if not? Say you are here to complete system tasks? 80% of them will be arrested as a lunatic.
After explaining the general situation, Xiao Bai spread his hands.
"Director Hou, this should be a small seal that was shattered to the ground by a crack in the ground. Since your regular army is here, you should keep it."
Looking at the small seal handed over by Xiao Bai, Hou Liang carefully put on his gloves and looked at it carefully.
After a moment, he looked at Xiao Bai with some confusion.
"Mr. Xiao, are you sure this small seal comes from this tomb?"
"Even if there is no seal, it doesn't seem like the level is high."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai shook his head gently.
"Actually, I'm not sure, but this seal was indeed picked up next to this crack in the ground. I guess there is a high probability that it just collapsed."
"We have to wait for you to study the specific situation and make your own judgment."
After Xiao Bai finished speaking, Hou Liang's face was full of bitterness.
"Hey, I'm afraid it's not our city bureau's turn to study this big tomb, and my ability is limited. I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother. I can't even recognize what kind of animal this Yin Niu is."
Hearing Hou Liang's words, Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
Hou Liang: "????"
Seeing Hou Liang's expression that said, "What do you mean?" Xiao Bai added awkwardly: "Well, I'm also studying archeology. I didn't recognize this thing. I was still thinking about whether my teacher would be fooled by him when he came over. Where's the plank?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Hou Liang showed a somewhat enthusiastic smile on his face, and asked with some uncertainty: "Young student at Peking University? Which professor do you study under?"
