Chapter 74 Encountering the Ancient Tomb Again
Seeing that she was embarrassed to say it, the considerate Professor Chen waved his hand and comforted: "It's okay."
Then, he walked to the sand pit. On the side, Hu Ming looked at him in confusion and asked: "Comrade Xiao Ming, how do you know this is not quicksand?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Hu Ming, who just jumped in without any scruples. of.
Hu Ming looked at the crowd helplessly and said angrily: "Don't you know that the speed at which the quicksand moves downward will bring about a huge pulling force.
Xiaoye was submerged up to her waist in the quicksand just now. If it were quicksand, I am afraid that Yang Xueli would be pulled down too, and she would not be able to catch Xiaoye at all.
Secondly, if I guessed correctly, it is empty down here, so you can see the sand moving under Xiaoye. "
"Comrade Xiao Ming, you said it is empty down there, so what is there?" Professor Chen looked confused.
It can't be an ancient tomb, right?
“I don’t know what it is. If you want to know, just dig up the sand yourself! ", Hu Ming shrugged.
At this time, Hu Bayi suddenly walked up to Yang Shirley and asked, "What happened just now?" After falling down, I thought it was quicksand."
Hu Bayi was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said: "As long as you are fine, be careful next time..."
Yang Shirley. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded.
At this time, everyone else started to use tools to clean up the sand, especially the fat man who worked the most vigorously.
Soon, a large hole was cleared and visible.
This is a stone tomb under the desert, but a hole was blown out. It is obvious that the tomb robbers have visited it, but to the archaeological team, it is like discovering a new world.
They got in. This was a single tomb. There was no ear chamber. This single tomb was quite large.
However, the coffin boards were lifted and scattered all over the floor, and even the body was missing.
There is also a large backpack of explosives inside. "This is..."
Hu Bayi knew a lot about explosives. At a glance, he knew that this was a famous new explosive from abroad. He picked some explosives to take with him. Seeing this, Hu Ming immediately put away the rest. The fat man searched inside carefully. .
Finding nothing, Fatty was very disappointed.
"Xiao Sa, Xiao Chu, prepare the information carefully and take photos." Professor Chen said to Sa Di Peng and the others. Looking at the stolen coffin, his whole face became extremely gloomy.
"These crazy tomb robbers will not die well." After cursing, Hao Aiguo felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he kept cursing.
"Hey, Professor Hao, you're not good at cursing, how about I help you with some scolding?" The fat man volunteered, but he was speechless in his heart. If he was a tomb robber, wouldn't he be punished by you? He even cursed.
Professor Chen looked at the three brothers Hu Bayi and then turned his attention to Shirley Yang.
Then he slowly said: "I deeply hate these tomb thieves. They destroy ancient tombs and sell cultural relics in exchange for a small amount of money. It is really abominable. We are doing protective excavations. Through Looking for ancient secrets in ancient tombs."
After speaking, he lamented again and again. Sadness was written all over his face.
Yang Shirley said nothing, and a strange expression appeared on her pretty face. My grandfather was also a tomb robber.
"That's right, tomb robbers are really abominable, damn it, damn it." Hu Bayi scolded Professor Chen, seemingly hating the tomb robbers on the surface, but Hu Ming, Fatty and Yang Shirley were Looked at him weirdly.
He coughed a few times in embarrassment and asked: "These tomb robbers have stolen all the corpses, could it be..."
"Comrade Hu, in our country it is not only the artifacts that are valuable, but also the mummies." They are also priceless treasures. Like the mummies in the pyramid, the internal organs are hollowed out and stuffed into the stomach with antiseptic herbs to keep their corpses from decaying."
"Another method is to mix charcoal and salt. , pickle and dry the corpse, but these methods are not effective. For example, the mummies in the desert in our country are naturally dried under bacteria-free conditions and are very valuable."
As soon as Professor Chen finished speaking, The fat man then asked: "What can it be worth? How much?"
This is the first time the fat man has heard that a corpse can be valuable, and it seems to open a skylight for him to make a fortune.
"At an auction house in the West, a mummy in our desert was auctioned for a sky-high price of one million, and was finally sold for eight million." Professor Chen lamented that many of his country's treasures have ended up overseas.
Both Fatty and Hu Bayi were stunned. Oh my God, this price?
They looked at each other and were shocked.
"Mingzi, do you know?"
Fat Man and Hu Ming rushed back first and pulled Hu Ming aside mysteriously. He also looked back at An Liman, and when he saw that An Liman did not follow him, he was shocked and said: "Professor Chen said that desert mummies are very valuable in the West, how many millions can they be sold for?"
"Of course I know, but don't even think about such immoral things as selling corpses, fat man."
Hu Ming has his own bottom line, and he can take the funerary objects in the ancient tomb.
It would be best to take them all, but selling corpses? He won't do it.
Being immoral? The fat man thought about it and seemed to think so.
Not long after, Professor Chen and others also came back. Hao Aiguo was still cursing and hating the tomb robber.
"Judging from the traces of the stone explosion, these tomb robbers should have robbed the tomb a few days ago and have not gone far. We will set off early tomorrow, chase them and snatch the corpses back.", Sadipeng gritted his teeth and said.
This guy seems to be very courageous. How dare he snatch things from those tomb robbers?
Hu Bayi and the three brothers looked at the nerd speechlessly. The idea is good, but are you sure you can do it?
When Hu Bayi saw Yang Xueli looking at him, something seemed to be wrong. , but the next moment, Shirley Yang looked away.
After thinking about it, Hu Bayi led Hu Ming and Fatty to Shirley Yang, and everyone began to do their own business.
Put up a tent and light a fire.
"Shirley, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate?" Hu Bayi raised his head and gently pulled Yang Shirley's clothes.
Yang Xueli looked back at Hu Bayi and the others, and thought for a moment before slowly saying: "I'm worried that these tomb robbers have firearms in their hands. Once they encounter them, in this vast desert, they will definitely be A battle of life and death. "
Actually, she wanted to say that these tomb robbers had been in the desert for so many days. They must have done something crazy when they saw her and Ye Yixin. After all, they were in the desert. Here, what is a condiment? Of course it is them.
Hu Bayi frowned. After hearing this, he also understood Yang Xueli's worry, but what's the use? They are already here. If they meet, they can only fight with those tomb robbers.
"It's okay, I brought a gun..." Hu Ming suddenly said when everyone was silent.
"Where did you...get the gun...", the fat man said a little confused.
"Don't worry about it. Old Hu will come to my tent later and I will give you some things.", Hu Ming said lightly.
Hu Ba saw that Hu Ming didn’t want to say more, so he didn’t follow the fat man’s words and ask any more questions.
In the evening, after dinner, everyone sat together and chatted with each other.
Sa Di Peng, Professor Chen, Ye Yixin, An Liman, and Chu Jian all went back to their tents to sleep. There were only four people beside the campfire, and their faces turned red when the firelight shone on them. face, and all of them (except Hu Ming) had a black backpack with talismans painted on it.
This is the backpack Hu Ming prepared for them. There were originally three backpacks, one of which was his own. But judging from the current situation, it is estimated that Yang Shirley will be his sister-in-law in a short time, and he will also He had no choice but to give her his own. After all, it didn't matter whether he wanted it or not. He had system space anyway.
This backpack contains some guns and weapons, as well as glutinous rice, etc. As for the talisman on the backpack, it was painted by Hu Ming himself. He got the "Maoshan Talisman" when he robbed the tomb of Prince Gu Mo.
It's just that if you want to draw the talisman of "Maoshan Talisman", you must have spiritual power support. Fortunately, Hu Minglian's "Marrow Cleansing Art" has made some progress, and he has cultivated a few strands of spiritual power in his body.
Hu Ming used this spiritual power and black dog blood to draw a successful charm on the bag with his fingers.
Of course, Hu Ming also made mistakes many times. The backpack tent he is wearing now has black graffiti on it.
After I became completely familiar with the Celestial Master's amulet, I painted on these three bags.
But Hu Ming was very tired every time he drew the talisman.
At this time...
"Fat Man, Lao Hu, and Mingzi, I am really grateful to you for this journey."
Xueli Yang suddenly said.
The words caught Fatty and the others off guard. They all looked at Yang Xueli in confusion, wondering why she suddenly said this.
There seems to be something in the words.
"Actually, the reason why I want to search for the ancient city of Jingjue is, firstly, to find clues about my father, and secondly, because I often have the same dream?", Yang Shirley hugged the silk hair in front of her forehead, and said, There was a hint of melancholy on his face.
