"does not exist?"
Li Tong frowned and said, "How is this possible?"
"No matter how legendary Li Chunfeng is, in the final analysis he is a Taishi Ling from the fifth rank. Logically speaking, his tomb will not be too big and should be easy to find."
Li Tong's words are not wrong at all. Li Chunfeng's final official position was Taishi Ling. In the early Tang Dynasty, he was ranked lower than the fifth rank. Most of his achievements were related to astronomy, calendar, arithmetic, and history books. He was a typical technical civil servant. .
For such an official, his cemetery is not too large, so how can he have the problem of not being able to find it?
"I just can't find it. Except for the main tomb, the other three accompanying tombs have been fully explored. The first to be opened among the three tombs is tomb No. 2, which is also the one visited by tomb robbers."
Chen Ju said with some distress: "A tomb of this size for a fifth-rank official in the early Tang Dynasty is already seriously over the limit, so we are wondering if there is no main tomb at all?"
"In other words, Li Chunfeng's body is not buried in this tomb?"
Li Tong understood what Chen Ju meant. Could the cemetery he found be empty? And Li Chunfeng's real tomb is somewhere else?
This possibility is not impossible, otherwise there is really no way to explain the absence of the main tomb chamber.
Jiang Qi listened quietly to the communication between the two bosses and felt that this was possible.
The two bosses started from the perspective that the specifications of this tomb did not meet Li Chunfeng's grade.
Therefore, it is speculated that the main tomb does not exist because it is simply a fake tomb in which no one is buried, but an underground private collection containing Li Chunfeng's achievements during his lifetime.
Jiang Qi, on the other hand, started from the perspective of the Xuanxiu world.
Li Chunfeng is definitely a great master of Xuanxiu. It is impossible for such a person's tomb to be visited by tomb robbers, let alone to be discovered so easily.
But judging from the current situation, all this has already happened, so is it possible that Li Chunfeng's real cemetery is not here?
This possibility is not impossible, but rather very high.
"Let's go to the scene first and have a look."
Li Tong did not continue to discuss this topic. Everything must be seen first before talking about it.
Nowadays, everything is just talk on paper.
After that, Li Tong closed his eyes and began to fall asleep, hoping to have a better mental state after arriving at the place.
The car drove all the way to a remote county town in Chang'an.
This is a large county, but there are not many habitable places, most of which are desolate loess slopes.
The tomb of Li Chunfeng was found deep in this desolate area, basically a place where birds don't poop.
Finally, the car parked in a temporary parking lot where several large vans and some exploration equipment were parked.
"If you go any further, the car won't be able to get in. Just walk over."
Chen Ju pointed in a certain direction and said: "The discovered Li Chunfeng's tomb is over there."
At this moment, everyone was at the edge of a basin-like terrain, and Li Chunfeng's tomb was at the bottom and left of the basin.
If you want to go down, there are only a few narrow paths, and the car cannot get off at all.
In the direction pointed by Chen Ju, you can see several tents and a simple aluminum alloy panel house standing under the basin.
It seems that that is where the exploration and excavation works.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Li Tong nodded and walked towards the path first.
Jiang Qi glanced around and took in the entire basin's terrain.
There is no wind, no water, and it can even be said to be dangerous. Such a pattern is actually the cemetery chosen by Li Chunfeng?
This is very strange.
With Li Chunfeng's attainments in astronomy, it would be strange if he didn't have some knowledge.
Such a character actually chose an extremely dangerous death place as a resting place for himself?
Jiang Qi looked at the layout of the basin and felt more and more that this was not where Li Chunfeng's real body was at all, but just a tomb of suspicion, or an underground collection.
After walking with Li Tong for an hour, I finally arrived at the bottom of the basin.
"The discovery of this tomb was really lucky. The two tomb robbers were so eager to take action that they went to an antique street in Chang'an."
Chen Ju said as he walked: "Logically speaking, it's not wrong. After all, that kind of place is a mixed bag of good and bad, but next to that antique street, there is the Yamen of the Police..."
Li Tong heard this and said, "This is also our luck."
"Yes, those two tomb robbers call themselves Captains of Gold. They really put gold on their faces."
Chen Ju shook his head and pushed open the door of the simple wooden house as he spoke.
Li Tong followed and walked in.
Jiang Qi and Gu Qingyun behind him were about to follow, but were stopped by Chen Shuwen.
"I'm sorry, classmates, these are all newly unearthed cultural relics, so not too many people can go in, but..."
Chen Shuwen said with a smile.
Jiang Qi glanced at him and said nothing.
Gu Qingyun smiled and said, "Then let's hang around."
After that, without giving Chen Shuwen a chance to finish his words, he pulled Jiang Qi and left the door.
"Believe it or not, he would say that I can go in but you can't."
Gu Qingyun said softly to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi said indifferently: "Is this the privilege of beautiful women?"
"The correct way to say it is that the guy was using chicken feathers as arrows."
Jiang Qi nodded in agreement. There must be rules that do not allow multiple people to enter at the same time, but the rules are also divided into people.
Gu Qingyun smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look at the tomb."
Jiang Qi naturally had no objection and followed to the excavated tomb No. 2.
It's the one visited by tomb robbers.
The entrance to the tomb has been covered with a tent, which also proves that the tomb has been ventilated and reinforced, and there will be no hidden dangers when entering it.
After entering the tent, Jiang Qi found that there was no one inside. It seemed that all the valuable cultural relics and information in Tomb No. 2 had been collected.
Jiang Qi walked to the tomb passage and took a look. It was a very typical sloping tomb passage, which was in line with the tomb construction habits of the early Tang Dynasty.
On one side of the tomb passage, there is a semi-circular and semi-square hole, and the walls of the cave are full of pits.
"It seems like these thieves are really two stupid thieves."
Gu Qingyun took a look and said.
No other reason, because this robbery hole is too casual. For those experienced local masters, the robbery holes are all round and extend downward in a straight line.
And the one in front of me is just like an earthworm.
"Senior, do you want to go down and take a look?"
Jiang Qi turned around and asked.
"I'm more interested in artifacts."
Gu Qingyun shook her head and refused. Her interest was in cultural relics and antiques, not tombs.
"Then I'll go down there."
After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he walked towards the tomb passage.
This tomb passage is not long, and it extends downward for about ten meters to the tomb chamber.
There is not too much decoration, it is just a stone building with an overall rectangular shape.
The length and width are about five or six meters.
"Just looking at this tomb alone, it's beyond the limit."
Jiang Qi smacked his lips. According to the official tomb structure of the Tang Dynasty, the tombs of the fifth grade were only more than four meters wide, and only one main tomb was allowed.
The only valuable things left in this tomb are the murals on the walls.
Jiang Qi looked over.
Then, he was stunned.
