"Qianqian, did you find anything?"

Xu Wenjing lay on the edge of the pit dug by Lu Qianxi, not daring to look down.

They are still in the preliminary exploration and investigation stage.

In short, they are looking for clues such as pottery fragments and human bone fragments on the surface of farmland.

If you can't find it on the surface, use a Luoyang shovel to directly shovel out the soil below and check the ingredients contained in the soil.

According to historical records, if this was really the tomb of King Hua Ai, Xu Wenjing felt that if Luoyang was shoveled, the skull would be shoveled out no matter what.

Okay... the skull may be an exaggeration, but in her psychological expectation, the soil contains more human bones than pottery shards.

Unfortunately, the result is... nothing.

Xu Wenjing, Lu Qianxi and four other senior students arrived here at noon yesterday.

The field exploration work also started yesterday, but the preliminary result of the exploration is that there is no sign of an ancient tomb in this field area.

Neither the surface of the field nor the soil below contains any human bones or pottery fragments.

When the exploration work continued until the second day and still yielded no results, Xu Wenjing's mood fell to the bottom.

She also thought that this was indeed normal, and believed that the clues to the ancient tomb given by netizens on the Internet were mostly based on gambling.

The netizen I met Qianqian may really be an overseas antique collector, but even an antique collector may not be so sure of the location of an ancient tomb.

Xu Wenjing did not feel depressed about this for long. When she was planning to expand the scope of field exploration, a voice came from the area that Lu Qianxi was responsible for, "I dug it!" ' shouts of surprise.

This shout made Xu Wenjing both surprised and frightened. Needless to say, the reason for the surprise was that the reason for fear was... Although Xu Wenjing was an archaeologist and had been doing it for more than ten years, she was afraid of corpses, very afraid.

This is a childhood shadow that has been left on her since she was a child, something that cannot be overcome no matter what. If her father hadn't been in this field, Xu Wenjing might never have touched forensic medicine or this industry in her life.

Qian Qian was different. Lu Qianxi's obsession with the corpses of ancient people made Xu Wenjing suspect several times that this student really had some necrophilia.

Therefore, the discovery that made Lu Qianxi cheered, Xu Wenjing felt that it was probably the skull of some unlucky guy.

If it were the skull of King Hua Ai, the value of the tomb excavation pit dug by Lu Qianxi would be great.

So Xu Wenjing's current mood is that she wants to see it but doesn't dare to see it. There are many irregularities in Lu Qianxi's method of visiting the tomb.

If there hadn't been any signs of ancient tombs in this field...she wouldn't have explored in such a reckless way.

Although she did dig out something, Xu Wenjing would definitely have to lecture her after Lu Qianxi climbed up.

Before that, Xu Wenjing put both hands on her forehead, like a little girl who was afraid of watching a ghost movie but wanted to watch it, squinting her eyes and looking into the pit where Lu Qianxi was.

"Teacher, don't worry, it's not human bones, it's the outer structure of the ancient tomb building."

After Lu Qianxi thoroughly confirmed that the hard 'soil' she stepped on was a man-made building structure, she did not dare to step on it, because any brick she stepped on was a cultural relic.

Fortunately, the pit dug by the shallow stream on the road was big enough, and she could barely stand on the soil-covered position on the other side.

Although Lu Qianxi was too tired to move anymore, looking back at the amount of earth pit work she had done from yesterday afternoon to today's noon, it was really not something a 19-year-old girl with chronic diseases could do.

Lu Qianxi didn't know what was going on. She dug harder and harder. If she hadn't been so hungry, the pit could have been bigger.

"The outer structure of the ancient tomb building?!"

Xu Wenjing became excited when she heard this. She straightened her black-rimmed glasses and looked down.

Lu Qianxi did not dare to do further dust cleaning work in such a reckless situation, but Xu Wenjing's years of archaeological experience allowed her to identify a small part of the ancient building structure under the sparse soil cover at a glance.

"This... outer structure is still there?" Xu Wenjing also sighed in the same way as Lu Qianxi. .seven

There are many ancient tombs in the world. Due to natural disasters, tomb robberies, and various other reasons, most of the ancient tombs were firmly buried with soil when they were first excavated.

That's why archaeologists have to carry out rescue excavations bit by bit, slowly clearing out the layers of soil layer by layer, like peeling off dough.

This kind of well-preserved ancient tomb with its outer architectural structure may only exist in tomb-robbing novels and various types of treasure-hunting movies. It is the kind of super-large maze waiting for the protagonist to enter.

"Qianqian, come up first. I'll send a message to Dean Ji to report!"

Xu Wenjing's other two senior students also found a wooden ladder and prepared to pull Lu Qianxi up from the pit.

During this period, Xu Wenjing quickly picked up her cell phone, edited the message, and sent it to a contact named Dean Ji Renke.

This Dean Ji was the director of the local museum, and he was also the one who came forward to ask the local government to pass Xu Wenjing's archaeological excavation report, otherwise Xu Wenjing might have to wait for another half month.

Xu Wenjing went on field expeditions with the dean several times during her college years, and she could be regarded as a teacher supporting students.

Moreover, he also felt that it was really not a big deal that Xu Wenjing's archaeological project was suddenly taken over by others. If the director was not on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the signal was not available for a while, he might have come forward to help Xu Wenjing get an explanation.

Speaking of which, Dean Ji is also a strange person. He suffers from the same chronic disease as Lu Qianxi and her little sister Lu Xiaoyu.

His method of treatment is to take advantage of the holidays to travel to places like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Wudang Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, and Dunhuang.

Xu Wenjing didn't know what kind of treatment this was, but the old man's complexion actually improved a lot when he returned from his trip to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

While Xu Wenjing was still busy editing the news in her hands to report the current progress to Dean Ji... Lu Qianxi suddenly said something coldly under the pit.

"Teacher, did you hear anything?"

"sound……"

Xu Wenjing stopped editing the message in her hand and looked at Lu Qianxi under the pit. Lu Qianxi also asked the two seniors above the pit not to rush to hand over the ladder.

"There is indeed a sound! Teacher, I heard it! It came from under the ancient tomb!"

Lu Qianxi's simple words instantly shocked the two seniors on the pit. Xu Wenjing couldn't even hold the mobile phone steady as she listened.

"Qianqian, don't scare me..." Xu Wenjing said tremblingly.

Lu Qianxi has always been a considerate girl. She also knows that Xu Wenjing is afraid of corpses and human bones, so during archaeological excavations, if similar remains are found, Lu Qianxi will inform Xu Wenjing in advance.

She would never scare her teachers with such things, and it was precisely because these words came from such a caring little cotton-padded student that they were scary!

Because Xu Wenjing knew that what she said was absolutely true!There is no joke in it.

"It's true! Teachers and seniors, please listen carefully." Lu Qianxi said.

Xu Wenjing suppressed the fear in her heart and concentrated on listening to the sounds in the pit. The two seniors also leaned over the pit and listened carefully out of curiosity.

They may have thought it was a small noise, like underground water flowing.

But while everyone held their breath and listened quietly, a 'Boom! 'A loud bang.

This sound was very loud, as if someone had hit a huge drum hard, it blasted through the ancient tomb and in everyone's ears.

The two seniors were so frightened that they almost rolled off the edge of the pit. Xu Wenjing even lost her grip on the mobile phone and fell directly into the pit. Fortunately, Lu Qianxi was calm enough to catch Xu Wenjing's phone in advance.

"This... what is this sound? Groundwater flowing? Earth's crust is changing?" A senior student asked, unable to bear the thought.

"Hey... calm down, everyone. The most likely sound is that something collapsed inside the ancient tomb." Xu Wenjing tried her best to find a reasonable explanation.

Something in the tomb caved in was the most reasonable explanation, but then it was 'Boom! ' sounded.

Chain collapse?

No!As the third loud 'dong' sound came out, Lu Qianxi heard the closest possibility of this sound.

"It seems... it's someone in the ancient tomb... hitting the ground."

Lu Qianxi made a guess that made Xu Wenjing want to cover her ears, and the two seniors also trembled.

The third sound hasn't stopped yet, followed by the fourth, fifth, and sixth sounds. This rhythmic loud sound is like a heavy knock on the hearts of everyone present!

Even if Xu Wenjing didn't want to admit it this time, she had to admit that this was definitely not the sound that would come from the collapse of an ancient tomb, but...

"teacher…"

Qianqian, please stop talking!

When Xu Wenjing wanted to stop it, it was already too late. Lu Qianxi made a guess that made the hearts of everyone present stop.

"Is there... anything alive underneath this ancient tomb?"
