Tomb robbery

Chapter 070 Inexplicable

After Xu Xin said, I didn't understand what it meant at the beginning. After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly felt that this matter was extremely serious.

Life, old age, illness and death are the most normal lives of human beings, but if these seven treasures are combined to really make people rejuvenate and come back to life, it will be terrible.

The more I thought about it, the more difficult it was to accept it. I asked Xu Xin, "So what are you going to do? Find out these treasures and destroy them?"

"There is no other way. This thing itself should not exist in the world. It doesn't matter if it is hidden in the world, but someone wants to find it out. This is caused by my dereliction of duty, so I must pursue it. In any case, I can't let their ambition succeed." After Xu Xin finished speaking, he sighed.

I think this is a good opportunity. I'm also looking for the truth of the matter. If I can follow him and have such a master to help me, things will be much easier in the future.

Thinking of this, I continued, "Mr. Xu, as you know, I was inexplicably involved in this disturbance. Now many people related to me have disappeared. I must find out this matter, so I hope you can let me go with you to finish the rest."

"Kid, the water in it is too deep. I advise you to find a more reliable place to hide."

Uh... I was stunned when he said this, and suddenly remembered that the note left by Liubao to me also said the same. It seemed that Xu Xin really knew something, and it was not simple.

"Mr. Xu, can you tell me something you found?" I begged.

Xu Xin looked at me and seemed to be a little confused: "Let's talk about it later. I need to find out the ancient tomb in this place now."

"Is this ancient tomb related to what we are looking for?"

"Of course, otherwise, do you think I will come here? To tell you the truth, Professor Li also has a printed picture scroll. I think the official has also begun to intervene."

Damn, this is too unexpected. Originally, some tomb robbers and illegal gangs were enough for us to drink a pot, but now if even Professor Li intervenes in, it will be more difficult to investigate in the future.

"Let's go and have a look." Xu Xin didn't explain much, opened the door and got out of the car.

I followed him and found that there was dust everywhere. I covered my nose and looked at the house in the orphanage. I saw that the whole house had almost collapsed, and where the last wall was still standing.

Professor Li has been standing not far from our car to command. When he saw Xu Xin coming down, he stepped back and said, "Mr. Xu, it's about to be cleaned up. When it is dug out, the truth will be revealed."

Xu Xin nodded slightly and did not say anything, but went to look at the demolition-like scene.

Professor Li was right. After a short time, he saw two excavators drive aside and stopped. After the dust dispersed, everyone walked towards the excavated place.

In the near world, I found that most of the walls had been cleaned up, and an open space was exposed in the middle of the house. Now a pit more than two meters deep has been dug out by the excavator, and a hole seems to be exposed.

Professor Li looked at it for a while and said to one of his men, "Okay, call the workers to come and work."

The man turned around and walked outside the orphanage. After a long time, he came back with about 20 people dressed as migrant workers.

At this time, I really deeply sighed that this archaeological team is really awesome. They can hire migrant workers to dig tombs, and they also go to the field to search for treasure. Why is there such a big gap with us?

After this group of migrant workers came closer, under the command of an archaeological team member, they picked up tools and began to jump into the pit and began to dig into the faintly exposed hole.

Xu Xin saw that it would take some time to complete the excavation, so he said a few words to Professor Li and turned back.

I don't know what he wants to do, and I don't have time to look at it again. I follow his buttocks and start chasing him.

When I was next to him, I asked, "Mr. Xu, where are you going? Are you going to have a rest again?"

Xu Xin glanced at me and said, "You really stuck to me. Why are you following me?"

"I won't tell you everything. I will follow you in the future, and I will go wherever you go." I said firmly.

Xu Xin was actually happy by what I said and said with a smile, "You are quite interesting. Well, I'm going to eat now. If you're hungry, come with me!"

I looked at my watch and unconsciously it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. I really felt a little hungry, so I was going to follow Xu Xin to eat.

The two walked outside the orphanage and got on a bus. I found that the bus had been converted into a dining car, and two aunts were busy with meals.

There was no need for Xu Xin to say hello. I directly cooked some meals and brought them to Xu Xin very diligently.

He was not polite. He picked up his chopsticks and ate them.

I didn't have any appetite for the meal, so I simply ate some.

On the way to dinner, people came in one after another, and I couldn't talk to Xu Xin. When we returned to the scene when we were full, we found that the pit had been excavated. All the migrant workers retreated one after another and put a rope ladder on the wall of the cave. Professor Li was slowly climbing down the rope ladder into the pit.

I went to the pit and saw a rectangular object exposed below, which was a dark stone coffin.

At this time, Xu Xin said to me, "You are not qualified to go down, just wait here!" After saying that, he also went down to the pit.

I saw Li Ruier and other archaeologists following up one after another, and I was very anxious, but I really don't have a suitable identity. Let me look here, I guess it's just to take care of Xu Xin's love.

Archaeology is different from tomb robbery. These people regard the coffin as a baby and gently brush off the soil on the coffin with a small brush. I thought: If it had been for me and Liang Zi, I would have gone straight to pry the lid of the coffin.

He was busy for more than an hour one after another, during which Xu Xin had been standing next to the people in the pit without saying anything or moving.

Looking at it, Professor Li walked over and said something to Xu Xin. It seemed that he asked some questions. I saw Xu Xin say a few words and nodded to the sarcophagus.

Professor Li seemed to have received an order and immediately waved to everyone to take the tools. It seemed that he was going to open the coffin.

I bent down and stood by the pit and saw the things below very clearly. I saw some archaeologists inserting things like small shovels into the gap of the coffin cover, and then after counting one, two or three at the same time, and the lid of the sarcophagus was creaked open.

I didn't expect that the sarcophagus looked small, but the lid of the coffin was opened so easily. At the same time, I saw Xu Xin standing aside shaking his head slightly, as if he was not satisfied with something.

As the gap in the coffin lid became wider and bigger, it was finally pushed aside. I thought I would see something like a skeleton or a mummified corpse, but I didn't expect that after everyone saw the real face in the coffin, they were all stunned on the spot.

I didn't expect that although the sarcophagus seemed to have some funerary objects, there were no bones at all. It could be said that it was an empty coffin.

Professor Li was also a little incredible. He stepped forward and looked at it carefully. It was estimated that he still didn't find the body. He inexplicably turned to look at Xu Xin.

I don't think Xu Xin was as surprised as us. He went up and looked at it a few times and said something to Professor Li. His voice was relatively low, and I didn't hear it clearly.

After listening to this, Professor Li seemed to suddenly realize, so after explaining something to the other team members, he climbed up with Xu Xin and walked to the parking place.

Other archaeologists began to slowly sort out the things in the coffin. I saw that it was not interesting, so I followed Xu Xin's buttocks and wanted to hear what they said?

At this time, I heard Professor Li say, "Mr. Xu still guessed that the coffin was empty for a long time. When the things are sorted out, we will know whether the lost nation really exists.

The two of them walked and talked, but I couldn't figure out what kind of lost nation or disappeared tribe in the fog.

The two walked to a bus, opened the door and got on the bus.

I saw the layout of the car. I guess it should be the same place as a temporary office. As soon as I was about to follow up, I saw Xu Xin turn around and said, "You stay outside. Let's talk about it later if there is anything." Then the door was closed.

I'm so angry that I said to myself: You are too bullying, and you don't let me go into the pit or get in the car. How can you stand treating a grave robber like this...

Complaining, I also know that I don't have a formal identity, at most a spectator. It's good that I didn't drive me out of the scene.

I stood outside Zhongba and wandered around depressedly. One after another, I saw archaeological team members holding some small boxes and sent them back and forth to the car for more than a dozen times, and then slowly calmed down.

I waited anxiously for more than an hour, and the closed door finally opened. Xu Xin jumped down with a blank face, but Professor Li, who followed him, was full of smiles, as if he was very happy.

After the two got out of the car, they saw Professor Li holding Xu Xin's hand and said, "This time it's really thanks to Mr. Xu's help. I thank you very much for agreeing. That's all for today. You go back to rest first. When the matter is settled, I will send someone to inform you."

Xu Xin nodded and didn't say much. He turned around and walked towards his car.

When he passed me, he saw me dumbfounded on the spot, and then turned around and said, "What, you don't want to leave. Are you still planning to spend the night here?"

After I reacted, I was immediately overjoyed and followed Xu Xin to get on his run again.

This time, he didn't go to the back, but sat in the driver's seat. It seemed that the old boy didn't use the driver and drove by himself.

As soon as I got into the co-pilot and closed the door, Xu Xin immediately started the car and then kicked the accelerator. The Mercedes-Benz quickly rushed out of the orphanage and began to drive fast along the road.

I was stunned by his behavior. I didn't expect Xu Xin to be very old, but he drove so fiercely. After the car ran out a few hundred meters, I turned my head to look at him and found Xu Xin, who was originally expressionless, suddenly laughed.

I said to myself: What's going on? Is this old guy mentally ill? It's so inexplicable...
