The tourism industry in China is developing well now. In the past, many places with sparse population have started tourism development, and even remote areas have roads. However, Chen Qinghan and his friends have to cross the mountains when they get off the road.

I drove past Lan City, purchased a batch of equipment, and then continued to go south, passing through two autonomous prefectures before entering the scope of the autonomous prefecture they were constructing.

The beautiful snow-capped mountains and pastures are one of the most attractive scenery of this land. There are also tourist attractions built in the county town. There are several temples near the county town, which are also a must-see attraction for tourists to sign in and check in.

But when you walk into the mountains and leave the river area, you have to abandon the car halfway and walk on your legs.

I left the county town and didn't drive my own car. Chen Qinghan sent the car from their camp to pick me up. Of course, it was just by the way. My logistics colleagues were going to go to the county town to purchase, and after buying things, they picked me up and pulled me over.

The car I drove was unable to cross the mountains and off the road. If they came to pick me up, I would save myself from walking.

All archaeology related to the "Tiannv" never comes with people outside the unit, but to the relevant local departments, we still obtain archaeological documents and approval documents.

This time, the unit sent its own security personnel to take charge of safety work. The isolation belt was pulled outside the excavation site, and irrelevant personnel were not allowed to watch and take photos.

The situation was quite big and the investigation was strict. I had a work permit and a special pass to enter the excavation site.

The outer periphery is surrounded by plastic cloth, and you can't see what's going on inside. Various engineering cars are parked on the hillside. However, the real ancient tomb has to go up further, and it is said that it is near the top of the mountain.

The camp is halfway up the mountain, and you can see many tents by diving far away. The village to which this mountain belongs is very small, mostly elderly and children.

The logistics colleague said that the two children found the ancient tomb. They were herding sheep on the mountain. The two children were just having fun, and the sheep ran away and lost.

When I was looking for it, I heard the sheep screaming and searched for it. I found that the sheep fell into a hole. The sheep couldn't come up inside. The hole was pitch black, and the two children were also brave. One jumped in to catch the sheep, and the other pulled it out with a rope.

Fortunately, the child and the sheep were fine in the end. The child who went in said there were people inside, but the adults didn't believe it. As a result, the two children went there again the next day. This time they brought the flashlight at home and found that there were several stone people in the hole that were about the same height as them.

They found it fun, so they picked the smallest one, tied it with a rope, and dragged it out together.

No cultural relics have been unearthed in this area. Since ancient times, it has been a place with many mountains and few people. Children do not understand the meaning of this, but just think that it was discovered toys.

Later, someone noticed the stone man dragged out by the children, reported it to the relevant local departments, and then went to our unit to take over it step by step.

Before the Han Dynasty, this place was Qiang land, and most of the major archaeological discoveries in Ning City were Han tombs and Tang tombs.

However, after testing, the age of the Stone Man was determined to be a product from three thousand years ago. The carving style was unique and had no obvious connection with the culture of the region.

After Chen Qinghan and the others came, they expanded the cave and cleared out more stone men and stone beast statues. These things were sorted out and they were a complete set of "army".

The stone beasts are also "arranged" in a group, like a legion of beasts ready to go.

The cave that the children discovered was actually an open space, similar to a schoolyard, with the ancient tomb at a higher altitude.

As soon as I appeared in the camp, the bun was the first to run out and threw herself into my arms, saying that she was almost bored and finally saw her relatives.

She was wearing a black robe with a strong regional style, a colorful belt, and a long orb necklace around her neck. She rang out loud.

I touched her head to show comfort, her face lay on my shoulders and hummed. I hugged her into the camp. Chen Qinghan grabbed the back collar of the bun and pulled her off me.

"Learn." Professor Chen's class teacher style is very good.

"Brother Qinghan has changed. He is no longer a legend in my heart. Now when I see him, I think of studying..." Baozi said aggrievedly.

"Study makes you happy, Brother Qinghan is the source of your happiness." I held back my laughter and said unkindly.

"Ah-I have come to a place where birds fly across the mountains, why do you still need to learn?" The bun made a painful cry.

"Learning is in your heart, and when you go to the ends of the world, it will be with you." I patted her head and shined her hair.

"I love learning..." The bun fell down his shoulders and drifted away like a wandering soul.

Chen Qinghan reached out to remove the bag behind me, carried the bag in one hand, grabbed me with the other, and walked towards the largest tent.

"We have sent a group of people down to show you something."

"We will talk about work when we meet. Brother Qinghan, you haven't changed. You are still Chen Bapi."

"I'm worried that they are in danger and have a heavy responsibility, so I can only work hard to get the insider."

"Where are those colleagues in your past? Didn't they have a research group?"

"We are all here, but we have never encountered the troubles we encountered this time before, and they have no experience."

I was a little curious about what he said so seriously. What is the trouble that can stump the experts who study the Tiannu tribe.

The big tent is a conference room and also a place where Chen Qinghan works. It is equipped with a TV, a projector, and there are many photos on the long table. A picture is hung on the projection cloth. It should be the structural diagram of the mountain. You can see that there is a huge cavity near the top of the top, like a nest with an egg in it.

That egg is an ancient tomb. There is no tomb gate. They opened a hole above the glutinous rice balls. There is a fixed frame around the glutinous rice balls, which is also a scaffolding for easy climbing.

They spent a lot of time just by opening the entrance and cleaning the cavities of the mountain. After digging for many days, they also dug a "thief hole" under the dumplings, and there are also the contributions of the Milky Way.

But Chen Qinghan gave up the plan to enter the ancient tomb from the bottom and instead dismantled the entrance from the top. Anyway, the project was very big, and in the early stage, they were basically digging mountains and clearing soil to build frames.

Among the photos on the table are those photos of stone men and stone beasts, close-ups of single people, and group photos.

I picked up a close-up photo of the stone tablet, looked at it and put it down. The stone man carved it very finely, and it was all female. There were more than one stone tablet. In addition to the pattern, there were also characters. It was said to be characters, but in fact it was some complicated symbols.

The buns have deciphered their meaning - the goddess kills demons and saves people, especially expresses her gratitude.

We don’t know what demon Ailan killed, and who erected the monument for her, because the inscription was not signed, and the person erected the monument did not leave his name.

Alan also had no name. The person she saved only called her the goddess, and carved a bunch of stone soldiers for her.

The key is that Ailan I know. She is not someone who is willing to sacrifice her life for good deeds. Is there any misunderstanding?

"Look at this." Chen Qinghan took a laptop and turned on a video to play it for me.

This is a video of a group of people sliding down from the top of the tomb of the dumplings. They set up shelves around the holes they opened, as well as winches and ropes. The first team grabbed the rope and was placed into the entrance.

The team members talked to each other and observed the surroundings at the same time. Judging from the texture of the surrounding walls, it was indeed layered and the material was hard. If Chen Qinghan and the others were hard to chisel, they would need a drill bit. If they forced the shell outside the tomb, it might damage the internal structure, so they could only use cleverness.

They are experienced in this regard and always have a way to open the gap, as long as they jump out of the materials outside the five elements.

The filling of the dumplings is spliced ​​and bonded with small pieces of stone. When the team descended to that position, there was already a hole under their feet.

It should have passed the wind in advance, and the team members slid into the "sinking material" space one by one, and the camera went black and all images and sounds disappeared.

"This is an image from an hour ago. Now the specified communication time has come, but there is no echo in it."

"Signal interference is a common phenomenon. You didn't let them smoke or something?"

It is really convenient to make technological means convenient, but it is prone to failure. We often encounter unknown sources of interference, so communication can only rely on yelling. If it is simply for transmitting signals, the gap is small and the signal gun cannot be accurately shot, it is most convenient to release wolf smoke.

The dangerous ones are red, the safe ones are blue, and the rescue is yellow.

"This is exactly what I'm worried about. They carry different colors of signal smoke on them, but no one can release them." Chen Qinghan frowned slightly. There are various data analysis software on the desktop computer, ranging from air to various magnetic field indexes, all within the safe range.

If it is not collective poisoning or magnetic field interference, resulting in communication failure and physical incompatibility, what else can be done? If the person who continues to do so will not reply at all?

"Oh no, oh no, she's awake, right? The person who went in is in danger!" I slapped my face and felt something was wrong.

If Alan woke up and suddenly saw a stranger wandering around her tomb in full arms, she would definitely not be ruthless.

"I'll go down and take a look." I grabbed Chen Qinghan's backpack that he put on the chair and put on the back.

"I'll be with you." Chen Qinghan's backpack stood next to the computer desk. He also carried it on the walkie-talkie and called the members of the research team on the walkie-talkie.

The first time I met his "original team", these people were all old partners who followed him to study the Tiannu tribe.

Four old men, two old ladies, and a lame young girl, they could only do research indoors or outdoors, or they would be absolutely safe ancient tombs. No wonder Chen Qinghan didn't see them following him during his adventure.

Chen Qinghan called them to come and told the young girl that he and I would take people downstairs to see. The communication time was up, but the first team had no news sent back, so someone needed to go down to confirm whether they were safe.

The young girl named Zheng Jie, saying that she is young compared to those old scholars. The oldest of the six old scholars is seventy and the youngest is fifty-eight. Aunt Zheng is 29 this year. Among them, she is a veritable "little girl".

Chen Qinghan told her to take care of the teachers. If he was not here, she would be responsible for the camp. If we couldn't get out, she would immediately suspend excavation and take everyone down the mountain.

Zheng Jie seemed to have seen such scenes. Without saying a word, she nodded and asked Chen Qinghan to rest assured. She knew what to do and told me to be careful.

I don’t dare to look at them directly. They are all experts in studying the tomb of the Heavenly Girls. Don’t just take a look at me, the newly unearthed old rice dumpling.

After leaving the tent, Chen Qinghan smiled and said softly: "Look, you're scared. They have only seen bones and racks, but never seen living ones, so they can't recognize them."

"Have you seen murals? Tell me, what are the characteristics of our family?" I raised my face so that he could see it carefully.

"Ordinary people have no characteristics, but you guys with special talents like you..." Chen Qinghan suddenly thought deeply.

"What? Are there any obvious characteristics?" I asked hurriedly.

"have."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it looks good."

"Bah~ It turns out that men are all big pig's hooves!"

"You are exceptional."

"Okay, you said I'm ugly?"

"You're very beautiful."

"I will spare you from death."

As we spoke, we came to the door of a small tent. Chen Qinghan stood at the door and shouted, "We're leaving."

Milky Way walked out of the tent in a gray work suit and carrying a bag. He looked up at the sky and sighed:

"My clan is sad."

"I dug up the soil and dug my brain, Professor Chen, is this considered an industrial injury? Is it a compensation? Is it her guardian?"

"Let's go, everyone is here." Chen Qinghan walked forward.
