However, Professor Yang's mind wandered a few times. The second master was so secretive. Maybe it was because it was inconvenient to reveal Fu Gui's identity.
The Chu family has been a powerful family for hundreds of years and has access to things that others cannot. Some secrets are indeed inconvenient to tell outsiders like them.
Professor Yang tugged at Mr. Li, and then asked Fugui with a smile: "Kid, where is your master now? How can he trust you to come out alone?"
Fu Gui frowned, with deep doubts in his eyes, and said in a very puzzled tone: "I came out with the second master, how could Master be worried?"
Ouch, Fu Gui's look and tone immediately shocked Professor Yang.
If you say this badly, you must be trying to sow discord between the Chu family and his master. Even though the second master's expression did not change, Professor Yang's heart was trembling again and again.
Professor Yang took another sneak look at the second master, who still looked indifferent and indifferent, and then Professor Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was a little unwilling to take such a big risk, but this little kid didn't tell him the answer he wanted to know.
Where is the master of the beautiful sister he calls?
Where are you now? Is it at the Chu family?
If you don’t have a particularly close relationship, why are you in the Chu family?
The second master said they were relatives, so how did he calculate it?
The Chu family has been passed down for ten generations from Mr. Chu upwards, so there are no direct relatives.
Relative? Mother’s family?
Mr. Li and Professor Yang persisted in pestering Fu Gui, hoping to uncover his identity.
Fu Gui has lived for many years, and he plays Tai Chi and teases these two old men back and forth. Even though he says a lot of words, none of them are useful.
Finally, Dong Wentao came to call people and said that the big hole had been cleared, so the two old men had to give up.
Professor Yang and Mr. Li smiled awkwardly and asked Dong Lingye and Er Ye to follow them with a few polite words. However, when they turned around, their expressions were obviously not very good.
Fu Gui first made faces at the backs of Mr. Li and Professor Yang with dignity. When he saw that Lingye and Er Ye were going to see the big pit, he snorted angrily.
Obviously you two are the ones who want to join in the fun, but he has to do all the trouble.
What a bully!
The second master and Ling Ye chuckled, not bothering to argue with him.
Seeing that both of them ignored him, Fu Gui stamped his feet to vent his anger and followed him closely.
The big pit that had been cleaned by five people now looked bare. Because there was nothing there, it looked smaller than yesterday.
Bai Ruoxuan asked Professor Yang for instructions whether to use a Luoyang shovel to test it first or to excavate directly.
Professor Yang took out his glasses, put them on, adjusted the frames, and looked at Mr. Li again.
Before he spoke, Teacher Liu said from the side: "My suggestion is that we use a Luoyang shovel to survey first to see what the soil quality is underneath."
Although the Luoyang shovel was borrowed from tomb robbers, modern archeology is still inseparable from this tool to detect soil quality and color and analyze underground conditions.
Mr. Qiao refuted Teacher Liu: "I think it is better to excavate directly. Most of the value lies in the tomb, and the condition of the soil outside does not matter much."
Teacher Liu then said: "Didn't we come to investigate? So I think it is very necessary to test the soil quality."
The most important thing is that although all signs point to this place being special, he still wants to verify it from a scientific perspective again.
If there isn't an ancient tomb underneath, it would be too wasteful of manpower and material resources to excavate directly.
Mr. Qiao said: "Teacher Liu, our purpose is to investigate the internal situation of the ancient tomb. Let's wait for future people to do the work on the outside."
Teacher Liu frowned. This activity has destroyed the original surface conditions. How can we conduct investigations in the future?
Hearing their argument, Lingye couldn't help but look at Mr. Qiao twice, thinking secretly in his heart.
After the debate, everyone still did not adopt Teacher Liu’s suggestion.
Because Mr. Li said - this ancient tomb is in a special situation, we cannot treat it in the same way as previous tomb investigations, feel free to dig it, I know it well.
In the past, the tombs had different geographical locations and different specifications and systems, so the information that could be left behind was different. What's more, it was an archaeological investigation, and the staff were extremely careful.
But this time...
Teacher Liu spoke again, and he said: "Mr. Li, this tomb is very old, and it's unclear what kind of decay there is. However, the inspection information may be very little, so we must take it seriously."
Mr. Li said to him with a smile: "Teacher Liu, please believe me, an old man, I know more than you."
Decay? How could it be?
Mr. Qiao also said: "Teacher Liu, so far we have never found any large royal tombs in the Early Xia. Neither you nor I know the specifications or processing methods of the early Xia royal tombs. What if there is a lot of information that can be investigated
?”
Teacher Liu is really anxious. It’s precisely because he doesn’t know that he needs to be more cautious.
His eyes for help fell on Professor Yang, and after a long time, Professor Yang spoke.
"Xiao Liu, you also know the event we are here for this time, and time is tight, so we can't care about temporary gains and losses."
When Professor Yang said this, it meant that he had already made a decision in his heart.
Teacher Liu was completely silent. It was better to say he was angry than disappointed.
They just want to open the ancient tomb chamber regardless of the process or consequences. How is this different from those group of tomb robbers?
"Okay, it all depends on the professor's arrangements."
Professor Yang nodded and asked everyone to prepare their equipment and start digging.
Mr. Li walked around with the compass, sometimes looking at the direction, sometimes looking at the big pit, and then pointing everywhere.
The second master came close to Lingye and whispered to her: "What do you think that old man is doing?"
Didn't he obviously find the entrance to the ancient tomb? And he was showing off with a compass somewhere.
Lingye smiled and said, "You've already come here once. If you don't give me a few words of advice, won't you look like an amateur?"
Sometimes you may think that some people appear to be well-educated, but in fact they are just paper tigers who are putting on airs.
Just like Mr. Li.
He is actually a bit of a magician. If you ask him to look at the Feng Shui directions of tombs in the past few hundred years, he will be able to tell them accurately. If they were from such a long time ago, he might not even be able to find the way.
The five people worked hard to dig the big pit. Even though Meng Lanlan was a senior sister, she couldn't take care of so much while doing this kind of work.
How can someone join this team who is not prepared to endure hardship?
Several people dug for about two hours, including constantly moving soil out and digging under it, but there was still no sign of touching the ancient tomb, and even no changes in the soil layer could be seen.
The five of them were out of breath, tired and hungry, and Dong Wentao even wondered whether there was an ancient tomb down there.
Bai Ruoxuan was sweating, and he wiped his forehead with a layer of sweat beads.
In fact, if there were excavations in the past, they would definitely not just grab a spot and dig up the soil, and no one would work hard for something that was not sure.
