treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 260 Reinforced

Li Mo put away his phone only to find that everyone around him was looking at him. He could clearly hear every word he said in the video call with the professor of Beijing University just now.

The black pottery vat in front of me is actually a giant treasure of the Neolithic Age. The complex symbols depicted on it are likely to be ancient characters before oracle bone inscriptions. If a connection can be found between the two, it means that there are real characters in the history of China. Recorded time took another big step forward.

This also made up for the blank time in the evolution of writing before the appearance of oracle bone inscriptions.

Text is the carrier of civilization, and its meaning has gone beyond the scope of value. Its status and importance can be said to have surpassed any ancient civilization that has been born.

Therefore, the black pottery vat in front of him cannot tolerate any accidents.

"Brother Bin, I leave this place to you."

Shibin nodded, he was prepared when he came to Yunshan from Kyoto, but he didn't expect to encounter such a unparalleled Neolithic treasure.

He walked to the side with a solemn expression to make a phone call, and walked to Li Mo's side after a few minutes and said, "From now on, I will take over the security here, and the reinforcements will arrive in two hours at the earliest. There is a local police station on the periphery." Personnel patrol."

"I arranged for half of my brothers to stay in case of a rainy day."

Shi Bin was not polite.

As the sky darkened and the lights came on, Li Mo was a little tired after a busy day, so he returned to the county seat by car.

The next day, when Li Mo woke up, he realized that it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. He took the phone and looked at the screen full of missed calls, and then checked that the phone was on silent.

"problem occurs."

Li Mo was busy calling back a call made 5 minutes ago, which was from Professor Zhu Changping.

"Hey, Xiaomo, I didn't answer the phone after calling all night. I thought something happened to you."

"Teacher, I'm really sorry. The phone was on silent yesterday and I just woke up. Are you here?"

"We arrived in the middle of the night. We chartered a car here today, but the higher authorities attach great importance to the situation in Yunshan, so we, the first batch of Beijing University, rushed over to find out the actual situation here. When will you arrive, you Without being here, we have no way to start our work, after all, you know the situation here best. Besides, if you are not here, no one can get close to that black pottery vat, and we are very anxious to see it from a distance."

"I'll be there in just over an hour, and I'll be leaving right away."

Li Mo quickly washed up and put on clean clothes. The bodyguards were already waiting on the first floor, so he came out and set off quickly.

When they arrived at Zhouqiao Village, the waiting professors and teachers of Beijing University, as well as some juniors and seniors, were all attracted by those luxury cars, especially the little golden man on the car logo. Everyone knows that the owner of the car is an extraordinary person.

When Li Mo got off the car in a hurry, no one knew that this group of luxury cars belonged to him.

"Professors, teachers, and seniors, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to be so fast."

Li Mo trotted over and apologized repeatedly.

Zhu Changping knew his worth, so he just smiled and waved his hands and said: "It's not too late, they are building the last shed, and it is not convenient for so many of us to go in. Now that you arrive, take us to see the black pottery Cylinder."

"Little Mo, hurry up and take me there to have a look. Those are probably ancient characters before oracle bone inscriptions. It is worth spending the rest of my life studying them." Professor Zhang is an expert in ancient characters, so he feels the most urgent.

Li Mo turned around and saw that there were soldiers standing guard around the wasteland. Without Li Mo's presence, Shibin would not have let anyone in, even a professor from Beijing University.

"Teacher, let a few professors follow me in first."

Li Mo led them into the wasteland, Shi Bin saluted everyone, and then let them go.Then I saw five professors rushing to the black pottery jar to study it carefully, and discussing it intensely from time to time.

"You didn't rest all night?" Seeing that Shibin's eyes were bloodshot, Li Mo walked over and said with a smile, "Why don't you lie down in the car for a few hours?"

"It's okay. When I was training in the army, I didn't rest for a day and a night. I can persevere. You see that the military tent has been set up over there. I will go to sleep after the work arrangements are made on your side."

The five professors over there argued for more than 20 minutes before it subsided. Professor Zhu Changping waved to Li Mo, and when he walked over, he said excitedly: "Xiao Mo, this is a rare treasure. The whole article has 130 characters. The professor has identified twelve symbols among them that are very similar to the later oracle bone inscriptions. The status of the black pottery with ancient characters is not inferior to the few bronze wares that are national treasures in the Kyoto Museum."

"Teacher, what should I do next?"

"The Neolithic cultural sites discovered in the past will establish museums under local coordination, but the things unearthed from the cultural sites this time can no longer be taken lightly. I will report the situation here and see the decision of the higher authorities. By the way, do you think there are any other black pottery in the underground with ancient characters engraved on them?"

"I guess there is."

Li Mo checked once before, and many things emitted black and white halos, and those might be black pottery engraved with ancient characters.

"Little Mo, you are in charge of arranging the work for the time being. You can get away anytime you want after we all get started." Professor Zhu Changping still has some understanding of the personality of his students, so he was a little embarrassed to say that.

But this time he really can't get away for a while, because only he can roughly confirm the area occupied by this Neolithic cultural site.

"Okay, then let's start working. I will lead people to dig a few more places first, and then decide whether to expand the scope of investigation according to the situation."

"Okay, those teachers and students are going to clean up those black pottery first. I just took a look at those black pottery. They are exquisite in shape and superb in craftsmanship. They are much more exquisite than those in other new cultural sites that have been unearthed. In addition, there are pottery There are ancient characters engraved on the body, maybe thousands of years ago, this place was the gathering place of a powerful human tribe."

Next, Li Mo led more than a dozen villagers to choose a place to dig a pit. There were soldiers standing guard, and many spectators dared not approach.

"When everyone dug to a depth of three meters, they stopped and waited for me to observe before deciding whether to continue digging deeper."

"Good boss."

These people are paid [-] yuan a day. If they can work for half a month or a month, they can earn a lot of money, so they work very hard.

Li Mo selected six locations around the wasteland based on what Yitong observed. The shallowest place had Neolithic antiquities at more than two meters, and the deepest one had to be dug to more than five meters.

After making arrangements, he took the lecturer from Beijing University to the first deep pit. There was still about a quarter of the area that had not been cleared, and there were also many black pottery buried in the soil around the deep pit. .

"Li Mo, you can just assign us what to do."

A nearly forty-year-old teacher pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said that they came prepared, wearing non-slip and waterproof boots and uniforms.

Li Mo was not pretentious, and directly introduced the situation in the pit, and then arranged for each of them to pick a direction to dig down slowly with a shovel.
