Of the two inspection tasks, one was completed in the morning on the first day.
After lunch, everyone took a rest and got up at two o'clock in the afternoon. The team did not go out, but listened carefully to Wang Ke and Gu Maolin's introduction to the eagle's mouth terrain and the two golden cobras, and studied it carefully. Problems that may arise.
Professor Wen is a complete layman. This trip is purely to help Professor Ye Rongguang come up with an idea. In today's terms, he is just soy sauce.
Ye Qiangan didn't know much, mainly Professor Ye Rongguang, poisonous snake expert, and Dr. Xiao Zhang were making the decisions. This is a very dangerous thing and should not be taken lightly.
So, two people were asking, two soldiers were answering, and two people were watching.
After asking and answering, when a key issue was encountered, the two viewers jumped in to discuss it, and soon it was around four o'clock in the afternoon. During a break to go to the toilet, Wang Ke came out to the toilet next to the pig pen. He unbuttoned his pants and stood there for convenience. Through the toilet wall, I accidentally looked up and saw that the salesman was still there. Did he have lunch?
What are you doing, trying to compete with us?
He defrauded Gu Maolin for fifteen yuan and became addicted to it?
Wang Ke returned to the house and said to Gu Maolin: "Maolin, the old man who lied to you is still squatting under the tree across the yard. It seems that he hopes to come again."
"Really? Why don't you, platoon leader, do you want me to tease him?" When Gu Maolin heard this, he became interested, and the birdiness in his stomach had not yet come out!
"That's not necessary. You can find some food and send it to him." After Wang Ke finished speaking, he picked up the thermos and poured boiling water for Professor Ye Rongguang and the others. This time they arrived in a hurry, and the two professors didn't bring anything but a washbasin, and they didn't even bring a cup for drinking water. Just fine, just use a bowl. Soak the blood peach in water and drink it, one big bowl at a time.
As soon as Gu Maolin went out, Professor Wen raised his head and asked Wang Ke: "Which old man deceived Xiao Gu? What happened?"
So Wang Ke took Gu Maolin out of Chongling with a broken cup, which was the "small wine cup", and exchanged it with the salesman for a pair of red agate bracelets, and told him about the fifteen yuan allowance.
"Wait a minute, little Wang Ke, what are you talking about? Chongling, the rescue excavation of Chongling? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?" Professor Wen jumped off the kang, grabbed Wang Ke and said : "Please tell me this paragraph in detail first."
In the eyes of Professor Wen, nothing about scraps of gold, a red agate bracelet, or being defrauded of fifteen yuan was as shocking as this explosive news! As an archaeologist, when I hear about the excavations around me, I am like a greedy cat seeing a fish or a dog smelling a bone.
Wang Ke suddenly remembered that Professor Wen was a famous archaeologist.
"Godfather Wen, I'll take you there if you don't even say anything."
"Are they from Hebei Province for archeology? We didn't say hello, even if we went, we couldn't enter the underground palace!"
"It's okay. The guardian of the tomb is the niece of our landlord, Uncle Geng." So Wang Ke took all the soldiers of the reconnaissance team from the robbery cave to the tomb, stepped on the broken paper, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings on the floor, and witnessed I walked through the entire cleanup process and said it again from beginning to end.
It's okay if Wang Ke doesn't say anything. The more detailed this is, the more Professor Wen's interest is aroused.
They were also discussing about eagle beaks and golden cobras. Professor Wen also opened up his chat box. He started talking about the difference between Chongling and Muling for more than half an hour. Then he stopped and said to Wang Ke: "Little Wang Ke, please highlight the key points and tell me what interesting things you saw."
Professor Wen took Wang Ke and Gu Maolin to participate in the archeology of ancient rivers in Nanshao Village. He knew that if Wang Ke was interested in something, he must also be concerned about it.
Wang Ke was also unambiguous. He talked in detail about the legend of the Robbery Cave, about the four doors and eight Buddhas inside and the tap stone on the top door, about the damage and horror of the coffin, and about the black stone he wanted to bring out. story. Finally, Wang Ke talked about his unique discovery.
"Do you have any other unique discoveries?" Professor Wen heard Wang Ke say so much, and finally said that he had "unique discoveries". He knocked on the kang table to indicate that Wang Ke was not being pretentious and said quickly.
"It's just those scratches!"
"Wait a minute, this is interesting, don't worry, speak slowly." Professor Wen couldn't sit still anymore. He walked around the room and now stood opposite Wang Ke, looking at him.
At this time, in Professor Wen's eyes, Wang Ke was born to be a good archaeological material. He not only had keen observation skills, but also had a unique way of thinking. Given time, if he gets more experience and goes to college to recharge his batteries, he will be able to stand on his own.
As for Wang Ke, when he saw that Professor Wen was so interested in his discovery, he felt that it was hard to find a true friend. So he simply recounted the three scratches he accidentally discovered on the back and side of Chongling Screen Wall.
"Xiao Wang Ke, are you sure that someone carved it on purpose? Is it related to the robbery cave?" Professor Wen asked.
"That's right, Godfather Wen, at least Chongling is like that. The scratch in the middle of the side of the shadow wall is exactly the same as the robbery cave, and it accurately locates the location of the robbery cave. Otherwise, it is impossible to bypass the diamond wall and it is unlikely to go smoothly. The ground drove the thief into the tomb."
"Well, your analysis makes sense. There may be some connection between the person who robbed the tomb and the person who closed the door at the end. Unfortunately, this is an isolated evidence." The "isolated evidence" in Professor Wen's mouth means that there is still a lack of corresponding evidence. Chains, the kind that cannot confirm each other.
"Wait a minute, Godfather Wen, this is not an isolated piece of evidence, there is more." After Wang Ke finished speaking, he turned and walked to the corner of the room, took out his shell box, took out the key, opened the shell box, and took out the lamp from inside.
"This is..." Professor Wen took the lamp with a green glazed surface and asked without looking at it, "Where did you get this?"
"Daddy Wen, take a look at this first. This may be evidence. I found this in a hole in a hole outside the Muling wall." Wang Ke closed the cover of the shell box and stood up.
"A hole within a cave?" Professor Wen picked up the lamp and looked at it carefully for a while, then turned around and took out a magnifying glass from his tool bag to examine it, "Xiao Wang Ke, tell me quickly, where is the hole within a cave?" ?”
"Daddy Wen, this cave within a cave is in the bushes outside the south wall of Muling."
"How many secrets do you have, kid? Why are you asking and saying the same thing like squeezing out toothpaste?" Professor Wen suddenly became angry. In this moment, starting from when Gu Maolin was defrauded of fifteen yuan, he actually said a lot of unparalleled things. Anecdotes, all of them explosive.
"Daddy Wen, the hole within the hole was dug towards Muling, but it was a pity that half of it was dug."
"Take me to see it quickly."
"Daddy Wen, can you go tomorrow? I'll show you this lamp, which I got back from the cave." Wang Ke saw that it was already time for dinner. If he ran away and came back again, he wouldn't I wonder if it’s too late, I’m not ready, and it’s dark and I can’t see clearly.
"Old Wen, what's going on?"
Professor Wen had calmed down by this time. He pointed to the lamp on his left hand and said, "Old Ye, did you know? This lamp came from the palace. This cave within a cave may also be a robbery cave."
"Yes, Godfather Wen, they are also found in this tomb." Then Wang Ke talked about the three scratches seen under the three-hole flat bridge on the Yudai River in Muling, and talked about the three scratches on Shi Wugong. mark.
"It's time to eat, it's time to have dinner!" Gu Maolin came back from outside.
When Wang Ke saw him, he immediately asked: "Did you give the old man anything to eat?"
"Here we go, it's still warm. Uncle Geng asked me to bring him a bowl." Gu Maolin said and began to clear the bowls on the kang. Everyone is using it to drink tea now, but they have to clean it up and wash it before using it for eating.
"Didn't the old man ask you anything?" Wang Ke spoke.
"Asked, what are we doing in the tomb? I said we are an inspection team, inspecting the Blood Peach." Gu Maolin responded casually.
"Didn't you ask anything else?"
"Asked, asked me if the fifteen yuan was a waste?"
"Didn't you look for him?"
"No, alas! Forget it, he is quite pitiful. Besides, spending my money to give you a favor..."
"Get out!" Wang Ke scolded in a low voice. He was afraid of attracting everyone's attention, especially Ye Qianpian. He didn't want to take out this red agate bracelet. It was really hard to explain.
Professor Wen paid no attention to the conversation between Wang Ke and Gu Maolin. He walked around the room again, stopped, and said to Professor Ye, as well as to Wang Ke: "In this case, we will go to Muling tomorrow morning and focus on inspection. A cave within a cave; at the same time, can you please ask the landlord, Lao Geng, to contact Chongling? After all, we are colleagues, and going there rashly is also disrespectful to others."
"I think it's okay, Lao Wen, I'll accompany you. Let's put down the investigation and finish your work first." Professor Ye Rongguang nodded, and he also jumped off the kang.
"Then let me talk to Uncle Geng."
Wang Ke turned around and was about to leave, but Professor Wen stopped him: "Little Wang Ke, let him take my business card and your Uncle Ye's business card. If the province doesn't agree, don't force it. We just want to Going to see the site will never affect their work.”
"good."
Wang Ke went out, and Professor Wen still held the lamp in his hand, thoughtfully. How could the things in this palace end up in a cave within a cave? Digging a hole like that outside Muling is obviously not as convenient as robbing a hole, so what's the purpose?
"Old Wen, I asked you to accompany me to Longquanzhuang. Is it a worthwhile trip?" Professor Ye Rongguang asked.
Professor Wen nodded and said absently: "This trip is not only worthwhile, but also a great harvest."
He pointed to the lamp in his hand and said: "Don't underestimate this broken lamp, it is from the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty. There were many celadon-glazed wares in the Qing Dynasty. Except for Shunzhi, celadon-glazed porcelain has been handed down from all dynasties. Among them, the celadon-glazed porcelain of the Kangxi official kiln was handed down. The glazes include bean green, east green, sky blue, pink green, emerald green, etc. Bean green is one of the glaze colors of Longquan kiln celadon in the Song Dynasty. The green in front of you was a favorite color during the Yongzheng period."
"Yeah?"
When Professor Wen said this, Professor Ye Rongguang and Dr. Xiao Zhang, an expert on venomous snakes, crowded over to look at the lamp. This lamp is really ordinary, the kind that lights butter.
"Yes, look at the bottom. There is the inscription of Yongzheng official kiln products. Yongzheng Dynasty regular script and seal script were used at the same time. There are six-character and four-character official kiln inscriptions. The most common is the six-character two-line inscription made in Yongzheng year of Qing Dynasty. There are also regular script styles with six characters and three lines, and there are double circles or square boxes outside the style."
Professor Ye Rongguang turned the lamp over and saw that it was indeed there.
"So, this is really from the official kiln. But how can you say that such a simple thing came from the palace?"
"Old Ye, do you know where this is used? This is something used by eunuchs, palace maids, or imperial guardsmen, that is to say, the lowest 'cadres' in the palace, in their dormitories."
"Oh, interesting. That means that the owner of this cave within a cave is either a eunuch or a soldier of the Imperial Guard."
"Yes, Lao Ye, I judge that the owner of this cave is probably a soldier guarding the tomb."
"Why not a eunuch?"
"There's no need for eunuchs here."
"Hahaha!"
When Wang Ke came back and saw the two professors so happy, he was about to ask, but Ye opened his mouth. "Brother Bing, this broken lamp of yours is still an old thing from the palace."
"Really?" Wang Ke was very happy.
"However, this has little value. It's not even a cultural relic. It may still be worth two cents after being collected for a hundred years." Professor Wen said with a smile.
Wang Ke seemed to be convinced, "Actually, I didn't expect it to be valuable. I just wanted to keep it for Godfather Wen to see, maybe it could be a clue."
"You are really right. It is really a clue. If it is found in a cave within a cave, the owner of the cave is likely to be related to the person who guards the tomb, or is the person who guards the tomb."
"What about this hole?"
"A robber's hole is a robber's hole! But why did you dig this hole and why did you give up halfway? We don't know." After Professor Wen finished speaking, he returned the lamp to Wang Ke and said jokingly: "You can ask Xiao Gu to give it to that Those who are throwing away antiques, exchange them for two things you like."
Wang Ke and Gu Maolin were both embarrassed and walked out with their bowls in hand with a smile.
ready to eat!
