"Do you want to drill over and take a look" When beckoning everyone to come and check, Qi Lu's curiosity also increased greatly.
Jiang Wenhao hesitated for a moment, whispered a few words to an archaeological team member who came with him, and the young man took out a black instrument from his satchel and handed it to Jiang Wenhao.
Jiang Wenhao walked to the cave with this instrument that was a bit like a laptop, and began to debug the buttons on the instrument.
"Underground Water Finder" Lao Wu is well-informed after all and recognizes this black guy.
"Yes."
Jiang Wenhao nodded and said, "Don't rush in first, I'll measure how far the underground undercurrent is from us." ” In less than a minute, a bunch of numbers popped up on the screen of the underground water detector, Jiang Wenhao looked at the pile of numbers and said to everyone with a smile: "The water source is fifty meters away from us, and it shouldn't be in this hole." ” "Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and go in and have a look, maybe we can find some valuable cultural relics."
Qi Lu hurriedly urged Professor Jiang.
Seeing that he was interested, Jiang Wenhao couldn't spoil his interest, so he let a few archaeologists who came with him stay in this cave, and he was going to go in with Qi Lu to see what was going on.
One of the archaeological team members said with concern, "Professor, you have to be careful with your body. ” This reminded Qi Lu, he looked at Jiang Wenhao's gray hair, and was also worried that the professor would be affected by the danger in the future, so he also persuaded Jiang Wenhao to stay here and wait for his good news.
But although Jiang Wenhao has experienced more than 30 years of archaeological career, his heart is not convinced of old age, and he insists on going with Qi Lu.
Qi Lu saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he said in advance that he would take the lead, and the professor would follow him and let Lao Wu Dian follow.
In this way, if something happens, he and Lao Wu can also take care of Jiang Wenhao.
After everything was arranged, Qi Lu took a deep breath and took the lead in drilling into this hole.
After climbing a few meters, he found that the wall of the cave was relatively smooth, and at the same time, he saw that there was a bright light at the end, so he knew that the hole was not deep, and quickly called Jiang Wenhao to come in.
Jiang Wenhao and Lao Wu climbed into the hole one after another, and followed Qi Lu to climb for less than ten minutes before they got out of the hole.
Qi Lu, who came out of the cave first, hurriedly shone a flashlight back into the cave and guided them to climb out safely.
Lao Wu, who came out at the end, was about to pat the dust on his body, but found that Qi Lu was still staring at the hole intently, and couldn't help but ask him strangely: "Xiao Qi, you are evil."
"Old Wu, look," Qi Lu said solemnly, pointing to the outer edge of the cave wall.
Lao Wu Shun looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised, there was actually a brown handprint on the stone wall, it looked like it was some years old, and some parts of the handprint had become blurred.
This is an adult's handprint, Lao Wu stretched out his hand to peel off a little bit of the rock and soil on the mark and put it in front of his nose to sniff, his face became heavy, and he told Qi Lu: "This is human blood." ” Qi Lu shone the flashlight back into the cave at this time, and actually found several similar bloody handprints at the bottom of the cave.
Qi Lu asked puzzledly: "Could it be that someone discovered this hole before us, and for some reason injured his hand when entering or exiting the hole?"
Lao Wu groaned and said, "There is a possibility.
This dead man must have been a tomb robber before he was born, otherwise he would have come to this ghost place to do something. ” "But why didn't he take away the treasure of the ancient tomb," Qi Lu vetoed Lao Wu's idea.
"No, the cave leading to the tomb was dug by the Tyrantfangs, and he just went into the haunted cave in front of us."
Lao Wu couldn't answer, he felt that there were too many strange things encountered in the past two days, and some of them could no longer be explained by common sense.
While the two of them were discussing, Jiang Wenhao was also checking those bloody handprints.
Finally, he said in an affirmative tone: "Although I don't know much about medicine, my years of archaeological experience tell me that these handprints were left by ancient people hundreds of years ago. ” "It's getting more and more interesting."
Qi Lu grinned and turned around to check where they were now, only to find that they were in a large cave.
The cave is full of stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, they are intertwined, some of them look like crouching monsters, some seem to be wonderful scenery, it is really a thousand shapes, it is amazing.
Qi Lu walked to a nearby stalagmite with great interest and admired it, and said with emotion: "When we announce this discovery to the public, it will definitely add a new scenic spot to the city." ” "Don't be nervous, let's find a way out first."
Lao Wu replied angrily.
At this time, Qi Lu heard the sound of running water again, and it was very close to them, so after he told his two companions to pay attention to safety, he walked towards the place where the water sounded with a flashlight.
Dozens of meters forward, the wider the field of vision, an underground river appeared in front of them, and there were many small fish swimming in the river.
As soon as a pale-skinned frog jumped out of the water, a black snake that had been watching for a long time suddenly sprang out of its dormant place and swallowed it into its belly.
Just as Qi Lu saw this thrilling scene, he suddenly heard Lao Wu's "huh", his voice was full of surprise, he and Jiang Wenhao hurriedly walked over and asked him what was going on.
Lao Wu pointed to the side and back of his body and motioned for the two to look over there.
By the damp river, there was a corpse lying there, judging by the decay of its clothes, which must have been dead for a long time.
Lao Wu turned the corpse over and found that it was a skeleton that was so rotten that only bones remained, a lot of teeth on the skull had fallen out, and there were only two black holes left in the position of the eyes, giving people the feeling of a yin owl.
"The deceased was wearing a short brown from the Eastern Han Dynasty, which shows that he was a common man during his lifetime."
Jiang Wenhao identified the deceased from the mutilated clothes.
"Someone has been here since the Han Dynasty" Qi Lu was surprised, and as he spoke, he saw a cloth bag around the deceased's waist, which was bulging, as if it contained something, so he ripped it off the deceased's body.
The cloth bag turned into pieces of flying flotsam and fell to the ground under the force of Qi Lu's right hand, and then he saw that the cloth bag was filled with a rusty copper seal, and Qi Lu couldn't recognize the words at the bottom of the seal for a while, so he handed it over to Professor Jiang.
"Heavenly officials bless, there are no taboos."
By the light of the flashlight, Jiang Wenhao easily recognized the content of the inscription.
"But I have the impression that there is no official seal of the Middle East Han that can engrave such words, is it a private seal?"

Seeing Jiang Wenhao's puzzled look, Lao Wu laughed "hehe", he took the copper seal and said, "Professor, some knowledge is not something that can be learned in regular books. ” "So you know the origin of this copper seal, can you point me out" Jiang Wenhao didn't have a professor's shelf, and seeing the confidence in Lao Wu's eyes, he hurriedly asked him for advice.
"From ancient times in China to the present, the tomb robbers who have been handed down are divided into four major schools."
Lao Wu glanced at Jiang Wenhao and began to show off his knowledge.
"There are talismans for touching gold, there are seals for hair hills, there is a technique for moving mountains, and there is armor for unloading mountains.
I don't know if the professor has ever heard of this sentence."
At this time, Jiang Wenhao also understood, although he didn't know the source of this sentence, he also knew that the four major sects in the tomb robbery world today are touching gold, sending hills, moving mountains and unloading mountains.
Since Lao Wu said that Faqiu had a seal, it shows that he thought that the deceased was a tomb robber of the Faqiu faction.
Lao Wu continued: "Don't underestimate this bronze seal, it is a sigil carried by the tomb robbers of the Faqiu Sect.
This sect originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and its members often used their identities as merchants to secretly rob tombs.
Compared with the other three factions, their actions can be described by the four words "greed". ” Qi Lu smiled and said: "According to what you say, the eight words of Heavenly Official's blessing and no taboo in the seal text are a bit similar to the runes of our demon hunters."
Are they worried that there will be unclean things in the tomb, so they use this seal to ward off evil spirits and drive away evil spirits" "The four words blessed by the heavenly officials are what you mean."
Lao Wu did not deny it.
Qi Lu then asked: "Could it be that the next sentence has other meanings?"
"Of course."
Lao Wu said with a smug expression: "It is precisely because they have no taboos when they steal tombs, so they have no shame in destroying people's bones and destroying people's feng shui."
It can be said that in order to make a fortune, these guys are simply unscrupulous when it comes to robbing tombs. ” Qi Lu sighed: "As the saying goes, thieves also have a way, and the Faqiu faction can be regarded as the scum in the tomb robbery world." ” "Of course, otherwise this title will be in vain," said Lao Wu with a grin, "Now you believe that he is a tomb robber."
Hearing him say this, Qi Lu of course agreed that this was a tomb robber, but he didn't find any scars on the bones after inspecting it for a long time, so he asked, "But how did he die?"
"How do I know he is" Lao Wu choked up in the middle of his words, and he saw another dead body lying in front of the skeleton.
Looking forward at the dead body, there were two more bodies lying on their stomachs by the river not far from them, both of them rotting into white bones.
"And accomplices" Qi Lu hesitated, because he found that the four corpses were dressed differently.
"It's not."
Professor Jiang inspected the clothes of the bones and said, "This one is an ancient person who lived in the Song Dynasty, and the other two are from the Ming Dynasty. ” "Then these two are together" "Not really."
Jiang Wenhao pointed to one of the corpses and said, "It wears a round-necked robe from the early Ming Dynasty, while the other wears a stand-up collar."
Stand-up collar clothing first appeared in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and was widely popular in the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas. ” "That is to say, one is from the early Ming Dynasty, and the other is at least a hundred years away from him," Qi Lu was taken aback and said: "How can there be ancients of different periods dying together, it seems that the bloody handprints on the cave wall were left by one of these four people." ” Lao Wu also wanted to answer this question, he rummaged through the three corpses for a long time, but did not find a certificate that could prove his identity like the first corpse, nor could he find the cause of their death, and finally he had to give up and run to the river to wash his hands.
As soon as he finished washing his hands, Lao Wu made a new discovery, there was a series of footprints on the riverbank going upstream, and they were newly left footprints.
Lao Wu hurriedly gestured to Qi Lu and Jiang Wenhao, motioning for them to come over and take a look.
"It's strange that this man is walking barefoot by the river."
Qi Lu asked Lao Wu: "Can you judge his physical characteristics?"
"Cut, I want to have that ability, and I still need to mess with you" Lao Wu looked at it for a long time before he said: "42 yards, this person is very strong, and his height should be about one meter eight." ” "How long do footprints last?"
"It's hard to judge, it shouldn't be more than ten days."
"So, he's still a living person" Qi Lu frowned and said, "Could it be an accomplice of Brunzy Teeth?"
"Don't worry about it, let's go out first, I don't want to crawl back through the hole again."
There was always a bad smell in the previous secret passage and the hole they drilled, and Lao Wu was really fed up.
Qi Lu raised his eyes and looked at the stalactites and strange stones all around, he hesitated and said, "No way, how can we get out" Lao Wu smiled and said: "It's not simple, just follow this set of footprints and make sure you can go out." ” This is a good idea, Qi Lu nodded yes, he flashed his flashlight and began to lead the way in front, Lao Wu and Jiang Wenhao followed closely behind him. i0 t1706231537:
