The sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Chen Fan touched the glasses on his face, actually to cover his face.
Situ Mulan followed and shouted: "Teacher, I want to go too."
"What are you going to do? There's no danger in this girl's house." Chen Fan glared at Situ Mulan beside him and scolded.
When Situ Mulan heard this, she pursed her lips and looked unhappy.
"Since Zheng Qian wants to go, let him come with him. I wonder if Professor Chen already has other candidates?" Wang Fuyao looked at Chen Lianchun and asked.
Chen Lianchun did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Huangfu Yunhe beside him.
It wasn't until Huangfu Yunhe nodded lightly that Chen Lianchun said with a smile: "No problem, let Zheng Qian follow, and let the others go. They have studied the ancient tomb for a few days, relatively speaking Be more familiar."
The direction Chen Lianchun was pointing to was none other than Li Changming and others.
"Professor Chen, is it a bit against the rules to let them all go down?" Wang Fuyao looked at Li Changming and others, frowning slightly.
"Aren't your apprentices following you here? What's more, it's just a way exploration. It's relatively safer to have them explore the way for our staff." Chen Lianchun patted Wang Fuyao on the shoulder and whispered.
Wang Fuyao thought for a moment and nodded, feeling that what Chen Lianchun said was reasonable.
Later, Li Changming and others took the lead in rappelling into the cave with equipment, while Chen Fan, as a staff member of the Archaeological Research Institute, was the last one to go down.
The entrance to the cave is about ten meters deep, and there are signs of collapse inside. Because there was a heavy rain before, there was a lot of water inside.
As soon as he descended into the cave, Chen Fan couldn't help but shiver when he felt a blast of cold, dark and humid air.
"There are no toxins in the air." The bald man came down first, holding an instrument in his hand and saying after measuring it.
Li Changming used a strong flashlight to observe the surrounding situation, and then looked at the map: "This should be the passage connecting the east side chamber and the east ear chamber, and the tomb door should be in this direction."
After observing for a moment, Li Changming pointed in one direction.
"A few of you will stay and observe the situation. The others will follow me to the tomb gate." As he said that, Li Changming led a group of people towards the tomb gate, leaving four others standing there.
Although Chen Fan didn't understand why people were kept here, he didn't ask anything and followed closely behind Li Changming and others.
Sure enough, after everyone walked more than 20 meters in the narrow passage, a bronze tomb door appeared in front of them.
The tomb door is not big, about the same size as a security door at home.
The strong man walking at the front reached out and pushed the bronze door and said, "Uncle Li, there should be a tapstone behind this bronze door."
Li Changming nodded: "Well, I used an electric drill to drill the hole and pushed down the tapstone behind it."
According to Li Changming's instructions, the strong man opened his backpack, took out an electric drill, and simply measured and found a location to start drilling.
Chen Fan couldn't suppress his inner curiosity, looked at the man beside him and asked: "Brother, what is a jade stone?"
The man looked at Chen Fan with a surprised look on his face: "Brother Zheng, you don't even know what a jilai stone is, do you?"
The man's words attracted the attention of those around him.
"Haha, this researcher is different. He doesn't even know what a jadeite is."
Chen Fan was shocked and realized that he had just said something wrong. He quickly explained: "I am also the first person to go down the tomb passage. I read some information before."
Li Changming said: "This tap stone is a stone pillar placed on the top of the tomb when building the tomb passage. After the construction of the tomb is completed, when the workers exit, the tap stone will fall from the top and rest against the tomb door.
, This will prevent someone from opening the tomb door."
Chen Fan suddenly said: "I have learned a lesson."
The strong man who was drilling the hole joked: "Young man, follow us, and we will let you grow your eyes today."
Chen Fan nodded modestly.
At this moment, the strong man withdrew the electric drill, and a thumb-sized hole suddenly appeared on the bronze door.
Then, the strong men took out several steel bars from their backpacks, twisted them together to form a long stick, and inserted them through the holes.
On the other end, the handle of a hiking stick is screwed on.
Chen Fan looked at four people standing together, the strong man holding the front handle, and the other three pushing the strong man's back together.
I saw that the steel rod was sinking into the hole little by little, about two meters deep.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise from inside the bronze door.
And the closed bronze door slowly revealed a gap at this time.
"Squeaky."
The bronze door was pushed open by the strong man, and a damp and rotten smell rushed out from the door in an instant.
"There is a lot of methane in here, so don't ignite it." Li Changming warned, covering his mouth and nose.
Everyone nodded and then stepped inside the bronze door.
Inside the bronze door is a staircase surrounded by solid rammed earth.
Chen Fan asked the man in a low voice: "You just come in, aren't you afraid of some mechanism inside?"
The man suddenly laughed: "Haha, Brother Zheng, you must have watched too many movies. This ancient tomb is from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Even if it has mechanisms, after thousands of years, do you think those mechanisms are still useful?"
Chen Fan smiled awkwardly and continued to walk down behind a few people.
After descending for about ten meters, everyone finally came to the end of the stairs. There were three tombs in total, the main tomb in the middle and the side tombs on both sides.
Looking at the three tombs, Li Changming ordered: "Take a photo of this place, we are going to go back."
The man who was chatting with Chen Fan just nodded, took a camera, and took several pictures from several different directions.
Chen Fan walked into the main tomb chamber and took a strong flashlight to several bookshelves inside, which also contained many bamboo slips.
However, these bamboo slips have been stuck together for thousands of years, and many of the words on them have become very blurry, which made Chen Fan frown tightly.
"Brother Zheng, it's time to go." After taking the photo, the man shouted to Chen Fan in the main tomb.
"Brother, now that the tomb has been opened and air has entered the tomb, if these bamboo slips cannot be preserved immediately, the consequences may be disastrous." Chen Fan said with a frown.
"This thing is of little value. The valuable antiques are all in the two side tombs."
"How can it be worthless if it can be used as a burial object in the main tomb?" Chen Fan retorted.
"Okay, okay, it's valuable, but we have to go back now, so hurry up." The man had no choice but to nod.
Chen Fan shook his head: "No, I can't leave. The writing on it has begun to blur. I want to record all these things now."
As he said that, Chen Fan had already turned on the video recording function on his phone and started opening bamboo slips one by one.
