Seeing the embarrassment on Xiao Bai's face, Qin Hai smiled and patted Xiao Bai's shoulder.
"Okay, okay, the excavation of this tomb will not take a day or two, but I guess it won't take too long. After all, the entire tomb is now exposed to the air. If we don't rescue it quickly, then I'm afraid it will cause irreversible damage."
"I predict that the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, which is in charge of this excavation, will prepare to open the coffin no later than the day after tomorrow."
"Let's go back to the hotel first. There shouldn't be much progress tonight. We'll come back tomorrow."
Back in the room, although it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Bai was still not in the mood for dinner.
Taking off his shirt, Xiao Bai stood in front of the mirror again. Not sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that the mark on his chest seemed to be a little lighter.
After taking out his camera and taking a photo, Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the power of science can restrain evil spirits to a certain extent.
After swallowing a few more pills, Xiao Bai decided to take it easy.
Xiao Bai smiled when he saw a little bit of black stuff being flushed away in the toilet.
OK, OK, modern medicine save me!
Damn it, don't let yourself know who the owner of this tomb is, and he actually made this small seal with an unknown insect poison.
When I get better, I will definitely participate in opening the coffin and see if you have been crushed by these thousand years of time!
…
Xiangyun Village, two consecutive days of peripheral cleaning.
Hundreds of bronzes were removed from the tomb.
Unlike ordinary tombs, except for bronzes, no other items such as jade, pottery, silver, gold, etc. were found in this tomb.
It's as if the tomb owner lived in an era where only bronze existed.
And to the dismay of all archaeologists.
So far, no writing has been found on any of the artifacts that have been excavated.
There isn't even a pattern that resembles words.
After learning the news, Xiao Bai's mood became extremely complicated.
No text?
How come there is a seal?
Although there are no words or patterns on the seal now, Xiao Bai believes that the pattern on his chest was definitely on the small bronze seal before.
Let’s talk about the pattern on his chest.
In the past few days, he has been using insect repellent, and the good news is that the color of the pattern is indeed lighter than before.
But the bad news is that after comparing Xiao Bai's daily photos, he was shocked to find that the area of the pattern on his chest seemed to have expanded.
The time for opening the coffin is set for tomorrow morning.
In the evening, after Xiao Bai and Qin Hai returned to the hotel, after hesitating for a long time, Xiao Bai came to Qin Hai's room and talked about it with his master.
After listening to Xiao Bai's story and looking at some of the photos Xiao Bai brought over, Qin Hai's brows couldn't help but wrinkle more and more tightly.
"Apprentice, after these two days of archaeological excavation, we old guys also came across each other's ideas at noon, and also conducted a rapid test of Carbon 14."
"The preliminary conclusion is that this tomb is about 2,500 years old."
"And 2,500 years ago, there were many ancient countries with mysterious legends in the Yunling area."
"Among them, those who are good at using insect poison, well, I believe you have heard of some similar literary and artistic works."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai felt bad all over.
Now the pattern on his chest is not expanding in proportion.
Instead, it is constantly extending and drawing new parts.
What kind of insect can do this? This is unscientific!
"Teacher, in my case..."
After hearing Xiao Bai's words, Qin Hai sighed and then shook his head.
"Let's go back to the imperial capital and check carefully to see if there is any solution. If it still doesn't work, we can only hope to visit some local scholars who know more about Yunnan insect poison culture."
"Well, actually I really want to see what this pattern will look like in the end."
Hearing Qin Hai's words, Xiao Bai felt his scalp numb.
See what will happen in the end?
This is a bug! If I don't get rid of these things, can I really survive until that day?
Seeing Xiao Bai silent, Qin Hai sighed helplessly, picked up the photo, and searched for something similar to it in his mind again.
But unfortunately, there really wasn't any. He had never seen similar totems or talismans before.
Back in his room, Xiao Bai sat by the bed.
He really felt a little frustrated at this moment.
Obviously the good days have just begun, and he has just moved towards financial freedom.
Why did it suddenly become like this...
Now, whenever he thought of the sudden pattern of countless tiny bugs on his skin, he felt itchy and shuddered all over.
At this moment, he only hopes that after the coffin is opened tomorrow, he can find information about the owner of the tomb on the objects inside the coffin.
Otherwise, even if you want to find information from 2,500 years ago, you will not be able to find it.
That was 2,500 years ago. Around 500 BC, China was still in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Even if there were similar written records at that time, I'm afraid it has become a legend now...
Oh shit! Damn dog system! It's all your fault! Die for me!
…
Early the next morning.
After several consecutive nights of insomnia, even if Xiao Bai could see the ebony coffin and the bronze coffin that were about to be opened today, he had little interest in it.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
As the crane arrived at the site, archaeological workers began to dismantle the large wood of the ebony coffin.
Soon, the four ebony logs that formed the top of the coffin were lifted one by one.
The top of the bronze coffin was finally fully exposed to everyone's eyes.
Xiao Bai couldn't help but shudder when he looked at the thick bronze coffin exposed below, the intricate and gorgeous patterns and seal carvings on the bronze coffin, and the unknown golden animal head on the coffin lid.
He felt as if the eyes made of two blue gems on the beast's head were staring at him.
Damn it, why are you staring at me? I didn't dig up your coffin. You have to watch it carefully. I'm just a spectator. I haven't even touched the coffin you are guarding with a finger.
As the ebony wrapping the bronze coffin was removed one by one, a total of eight masks with human faces on the front and back of the bronze coffin appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the eight different masks, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart.
He had the illusion that every mask was like the head of the Coffin Beast, its eyes glaring at him angrily, as if they were going to tear him apart at the first opportunity.
"It's so exquisite! Oh my god, I never thought that two thousand five hundred years ago, an unknown small country in this Yunling land could create such an exquisite coffin."
"Yes, this bronze casting process and the golden beast, hey, I have never seen it before. I am afraid this is a huge discovery that can fill a gap in the history of Yunling!"
Zheng Huan was communicating below, but Xiao Bai standing above was distracted...
He felt that his chest was so itchy that he had the urge to tear his chest open.
