Chapter 2 Wulian Tomb
I had nothing to say overnight, early the next morning.
Lu Cheng pulled two suitcases and followed his father out.
A domestic four-wheel drive SUV was parked at the door, and there were two people sitting inside. One was Lu Tianming's colleague, Lao Huang, who was proficient in jade in the Cultural Administration Office, was about fifty years old; there was also a driver, "Xiao Chen", who was relatively young, less than thirty years old.
Lu Cheng put the suitcase into the trunk. Seeing his father and Lao Huang sitting in the back seat, he sat in the passenger seat.
As soon as he got into the car, he took the initiative to smile and say hello: "Brother Chen, how many hours have you driven along the way? If you feel tired, you can change me to it. I also have a driver's license."
The driver Xiao Chen smiled and declined: "The distance is not far, it can be reached in about five hours. Xiao Lu, how many years have you been taking the driver's license?"
"Two years, but not many drives."
"Then you need to practice more. There are not only highways, but also rugged mountain roads. To be honest, it's a bit dangerous."
After hearing what he said, Lu Cheng stopped talking, fastened his seat belt, took out his cell phone, and began to read online novels.
When Lu Cheng was a child, he liked martial arts novels. He finished reading Jin, Gu, Liang, Huang, Wen when he was in junior high school. Unfortunately, these old men died, died, and had no new books. Therefore, he could only read online novels, including fantasy, fairy tale, cultivation, time travel...
He has a special liking for cultivation novels. Because of this, he has a strong interest in cultivation. After several years of meditation, he has reached the point where his limbs are warm and his dantian is slightly warm. This is the basis for opening up the large and small circulations. If there is still a cultivation world in this world, it is equivalent to approaching the Qi Refining Period.
However, despite practicing for several years, he had no miracles. He had neither the fist strength to kill a cow from across the mountain nor the leg skills that could leap ten meters away, nor the ability to fly in the air and overcome gravity like a bird.
The car drove forward at a rapid speed, and the scenery on both sides continued to change.
Lu Cheng didn't care much about the scenery outside the car, and his heart was immersed in the world of novels.
At 12 noon, the car arrived in Wulian County.
The group got off the bus for lunch and continued on. After driving along the narrow concrete mountain road for more than an hour, they arrived at a wilderness.
The car stopped and everyone got out.
Lu Cheng looked up and saw a mountain seven or eight hundred meters high standing in front of him, next to the mountain, two round hills dozens of meters high. The hill on the left was a long shorter, with people shaking their heads on it, and many people were working. The hill on the right was quiet, and there was no one to see, and it seemed that there had not been any groundbreaking.
While watching, Old Huang praised: "Ah! These two sealing platforms are quite large! Who would have thought that such a small hill would be a tomb seal!"
Lu Tianming also exclaimed: "The fenced ruins of this size are even more magnificent than the Mojiao Mountain ruins."
Lu Cheng is also a family origin. He likes to watch archaeological documentaries and knows that the Mojiao Mountain site is a representative of Liangzhu culture.
The Mojiao Mountain ruins are located 25 kilometers northwest of HZ City. The central mound of the site is about 670 meters long from east to west and 450 meters wide from north to south. The total area is about 300,000 square meters, and the soil layer is 10.2 meters thick. There are three small mounds on the large soil platform, which are three-legged tripods: Wugui Mountain in the south, Xiaomojiao Mountain in the north, and Damojiao Mountain in the east. The entire artificially built huge mound foundation is like a "soil-building pyramid".
The two mounds of earth in front of you are fifty meters high, and the momentum is beyond the large earth platform of Mojiao Mountain.
Lu Cheng turned his head and looked around and saw many cars, buses, cars, and several excavators parked next to him.
At this time, Lu Tianming had already taken the lead in walking forward.
Lao Huang and Xiao Chen followed.
Lu Cheng walked at the end and moved along a path towards the hill.
When I came to the hill, I saw a cordon surrounded by a cordon with a sign erected on the side, saying "Ancient ruins, idle people are not allowed to enter."
There were also a dozen soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms standing guard around, responsible for maintaining public order and preventing outsiders from taking photos.
There was a young girl who was probably an archaeological team member who came up and smiled at Lu Tianming, "Teacher Lu, Teacher Huang, welcome you both."
Lu Tianming asked: "Xiao Li, which layer of soil has been dug?"
The girl replied excitedly: "Five layers have been dug up, revealing the pits of carriages, burial tombs, and the top of the stone tomb. Teacher Lu, go and take a look! The pits of carriages alone are amazingly big! Seven cars, twenty-eight tigers, thirty-five giant bears, forty-eight leopards, and dozens of bears have been found... and there are also some large bird skeletons..."
"Why? Not only one bird?"
"Teacher Lu, don't you know that the chariots and horse pits on the right back of the tomb are full of huge birds. How many of them are there, I don't know yet."
When Lu Tianming heard this, his eyes shone brightly, and he accelerated his pace without realizing it. He walked and said, "The giant bird pulls a cart? It's really incredible!"
Lu Cheng was also excited and said to himself: "Can you dig out the tomb of the immortal? Is there a Nine Dragons pulling a coffin?"
Of course, such words cannot be said from his mouth. This is an era of 21st century, where science is emphasized and superstitious. Moreover, this is a national archaeological site. If he talks nonsense, he will lose his father's face.
Several people walked up the hill quickly and faced the archaeological site.
The archaeological site is extremely large in scale. The top of the hill is flattened, more than 500 meters long and four hundred meters wide. There is a huge stone mound in the center, with a square shape with a side length of more than ten meters, and is carved with exquisite patterns.
There are eight burial tombs in front of the stone tomb, only one is being excavated, and the remaining seven have been marked, and there is no time to excavate.
Behind the stone mound, there are two chariot pits, each chariot pit is more than 100 meters long and more than 30 meters wide. The chariot pit on the left was dug out, revealing the bones of tigers, leopards and bears; the chariot pit on the right is being excavated.
In addition, not far from the stone tomb, there is a round altar, which turned out to be a huge piece of jade! It is completely carved!
At this time, many people were wandering around the stone tombs, altars and chariots, horse pits, some were carefully excavated, and some were excited to study inexplicably. Drones were flying in the air to take photos. This is a national-level archaeology, and every step is recorded.
Someone used a confidentiality agreement to ask the newcomers to sign one by one.
Lu Tianming and Lao Huang signed the letter carefully; Lu Cheng also signed the letter without saying a word.
After signing the name, Lu Cheng followed his father to see the tiger, leopard, bear and fur.
"This is not an ordinary tiger, this is a saber-toothed tiger, with a body length of more than five meters. Look at this tooth, it is at least twenty-five centimeters. It is said that the saber-toothed tiger disappeared ten thousand years ago. Unexpectedly, there is a saber-toothed tiger pulling a cart here..."
"This is not an ordinary bear, this is a short-faced bear that has long been extinct, with a height of more than three meters and five..."
"This should be a prehistoric black panther, much bigger than the existing leopard..."
Lu Tianming said while constantly admiring, his expression was excited and uncontrollable.
Lu Cheng stared at him with wide eyes, his heart full of doubts: "Dad, don't you think this is strange? Who would use a tiger, leopard, bear, to pull a cart?"
Lu Tianming smiled and said, "You are still young, see more and talk less! Wait for the excavation results. Just like the Sanxingdui ruins, is it not surprising that the bronze statue of the vertically-looking god unearthed? This is exactly the meaning of our archaeologists' existence, discovering historical sites, examining history, and revealing the truth."
Then he walked towards the chariot pit on the other side.
