Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 823 Hidden tomb? (Happy New Year)

"This?"

"Why are there no bones?"

After scooping out all the mercury in the interlayer, Professor Meng immediately arranged for someone to open the inner sarcophagus, but it was strange that there was no bone of the owner of the tomb inside, but a chessboard made of jade, more precisely, a chessboard a part of.

"strangeness."

Everyone put on gloves and searched the entire sarcophagus inside and out carefully, but they still didn't find anything.

"Let's do this for the sarcophagus first, Xiao Ren, first seal up this chessboard and keep it safe, and then immediately sort out and record other cultural relics in this tomb." Seeing that nothing was found, Professor Meng said.

"Yes."

……

"Professor, this is the list of the first batch of cultural relics we cleared." Dr. Ren handed a folder to Professor Meng.

"Hmm." After taking the folder and looking at it, he asked casually, "Xiao Ren, did you find anything? About the identity of the owner of the tomb."

Dr. Ren shook his head: "No, the situation of this tomb is generally similar to that of Qiyuan's tomb before, and the things inside are also from different ages, but in Qiyuan's tomb, we can still find information about There are some relevant records and materials about Qi Yuan, but in this tomb, no information about the owner of the tomb was found."

"Not at all?" Professor Meng looked at Dr. Ren in surprise and asked.

"No."

"Professor Meng, is this common?" Huang Chong asked.

"Extremely rare." Professor Meng closed the folders in his hands and said, "I have been in the archaeological industry for so many years, and I have never encountered such a situation!"

"Usually, the owner of the tomb will leave some clues about his identity in the tomb, whether it is cultural relics or materials. The identity of the tomb cannot be determined, but in the current situation, the main tomb chamber has not been destroyed, but there are no clues about the owner of the tomb. To be honest, this is the first time I have come across it."

"What about the time, what about the time for those funeral objects?" Huang Chong asked.

"The cultural relics that can be determined so far date back to the Qin Dynasty at the latest. Basically, it can be concluded that this tomb should be from the Qin and Han Dynasties. This is the same as the professor's previous judgment." Dr. Ren said.

"Professor Meng, can I help you look at these cultural relics?" Huang Chong said.

"Of course, if you don't tell me, I will ask you for help. You are an expert in antique appraisal." Professor Meng laughed.

"Eh?" Huang Chong frowned suddenly.

"What's wrong? Is the person uncomfortable?" Professor Meng asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just find it strange." Huang Chong said with a smile.

"Strange, that's interesting." Professor Meng said.

"That's right." Huang Chong nodded.

Just now, Huang Chong suddenly had a feeling of being watched by someone. This is definitely not an illusion. Someone must have been watching him from a distance just now. Huang Chong's feeling is absolutely unmistakable, and the other party has killing intent.

That feeling came from behind. It should be about 600 meters away. If Huang Chong guessed correctly, it should be a sniper rifle. The other party should have pointed a sniper rifle at the back of his head just now.

"It seems that someone is coming. It seems that there may be big fish here. It's good to come. I'm afraid that you shrinking turtles will not dare to come out."

"Brother Ren, I'll go to the bathroom first, and then go there." Huang Chong said.

"Row."

Huang Chong turned around and looked forward. Sure enough, he saw a black spot on the high ground in the distance. He had already got up and left with something behind his back. This person was obviously not from the archaeological team.

It's a pity that I am an ordinary person now, and I can't practice in this world, otherwise I have at least ten ways to make this guy stay. Unfortunately, now, Huang Chong can only watch him leave.

……

"How, did you find anything?"

"I don't know if Professor Meng has noticed that the material of these jade figurines is exactly the same as that of this chessboard." Huang Chong said.

"Are you sure?" Professor Meng asked, and at the same time asked Dr. Ren to fetch the jade figurines and the chessboard. Although Professor Meng did not specialize in researching jade wares, as an archaeologist, she had seen many jade wares, and at least she knew jade wares. Kind of like a semi-expert.

"Really, you didn't say it, I really didn't find it, is that strange?" Professor Meng said.

"Strange? Teacher, why is it so strange?" Dr. Ren asked in puzzlement.

"From the perspective of workmanship, it is obvious that the value of the jade figurines is much higher than that of the jade chessboard. If this is the case, why did the owner of the tomb put the jade chessboard in the sarcophagus instead of the jade figurines?" Professor Meng said.

"Does this mean that the chessboard has special meaning to him?" Dr. Ren said.

"Since it has special meaning, what about the bones? And it's not difficult to know from the tomb's situation that the totem of the eyes is actually the totem that has special meaning to the owner of the tomb. From this point of view, the jade figurines are more suitable than the chessboard."

"What is the purpose of the owner of the tomb to seal the jade chessboard with mercury?"

"Also, the carving technique of the jade figurines is the same as that of the jade chessboard. You must know that the totem of one eye has never appeared before, so there is a high probability that these jade figurines were carved by the owner of the tomb at the request of someone or even himself. This can also be verified from the totem depiction on the sarcophagus, that is to say, there is a high probability that the jade chessboard was specially carved by the owner of the tomb, and then deliberately placed in the sarcophagus." Huang Chong said.

"The carving technique, are you sure?" Professor Meng asked.

"I dare not say 90.00%, but there is still a [-]% certainty." Huang Chong said.

"This……"

"Professor Meng, I suggest continuing to test. I suspect that we have not found the real main tomb." Huang Chong said.

"You mean, there's a hidden tomb down there?" Professor Meng asked, looking at Huang Chong.

"Correct."

"Okay, Xiao Ren, without further ado, whether there is one or not, we must not miss it, this tomb is too special, you immediately arrange for someone to do another survey."

"Okay!" Although Dr. Ren felt that this was unlikely, he still nodded.

……

"It seems that the mysterious person has not appeared here once or twice. Maybe he will come again." Huang Chong came to the hillside where the figure was found before, and he found footprints, and found other footprints nearby .

"Is his purpose, is it me?" Huang Chong was not sure in his heart.

During the day today, he might have noticed that the other party's sniper rifle had swept past him, otherwise why didn't Huang Chong notice anything unusual before.

"Even the guns have been dispatched. It seems that the other party is bound to get something in the tomb. If there is a hidden tomb, the other party will definitely do something next. I will prepare a big meal for you. I hope You can like it."
