As a villain, he relies on coquettishness to rise to power

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Mu, Professor Liu and others got on the bus and set off for NC City.

It took three hours for the group to arrive at a remote small county in NC City.

Professor Liu asked a local person, "Hello, is there an ancient tomb that was recently excavated here?"

The small county town is not big, so if the ancient tomb was really dug, everyone would have known about it.

As expected, the old man who Professor Liu asked for directions immediately nodded, "Yes, how do you know?"

"I'm from the archaeological team, here to inspect this ancient tomb." Professor Liu explained with a smile.

The old man looked like he suddenly understood, and then pointed the way for Professor Liu, "Just ahead, at the left turn, there are still many people there, especially those from the government."

Hearing this, Professor Liu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for coming."

Afterwards, Professor Liu took Yumu and others and continued walking forward.

The area here is sparsely populated. The archaeological team lives near the excavated ancient tomb, surrounded by camps. When Professor Liu led them there, they could see many people digging soil.

"Everyone, be careful, don't break this thing when you go there!" A strong voice came from over there.

Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked mature and steady. He was directing a group of people in front of him. He seemed to be carrying something.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Professor Liu's eyes lit up. He walked over with Yumu and others, "Teacher Chen, long time no see."

When Chen Yuansu heard Professor Liu's voice, he immediately turned around and said with a smile: "Teacher Liu, you are here, I am waiting for you! Before you arrived, none of us dared to start work."

Hearing this, Professor Liu smiled apologetically, "There was a traffic jam on the road, so I came a little late."

"Did you come by car?" Chen Yuansu frowned and asked worriedly, "You've been tired from the journey. Why don't you take a break and come here directly?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Rather than resting, I want to see these unearthed antiquities with my own eyes." Professor Liu asked Chen Yuansu, "How about it? Are you sure it's an ancient tomb from around 350 BC?"

Chen Yuansu nodded and said firmly: "Although we have not yet started to restore the cultural relics that were just unearthed, because there are many new cultural relics between 350 BC and 350 BC, we are very sure that the owner of this tomb must be AD. From 350 BC to 479 BC, it remains to be seen whether it was the Cizhao Kingdom.”

Professor Liu nodded, "Okay, I understand."

He turned to the Yumu people behind him and said, "Go and put your things away first, then put on your work clothes and come here."

Except for Yumu, the other three people nodded honestly, "Yes, Professor Liu!"

The three of them were extremely excited along the way. They did not expect that they would be able to see the unearthed cultural relics up close so soon, and it was an ancient tomb that was so old.

The tomb of 350 BC, even if it is an unknown person, is still a major discovery for now!

I am really lucky. It was my first time to study archeology with Professor Liu, and I was able to participate in such an important thing.

Among the group of people, only Yumu is a girl, and the others are three boys.

Yumu didn't have much luggage, just a suitcase, which was taken away by one of the boys.

She walked behind, looking around thoughtfully.

Many people were busy. It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon, and the light was not so bright, so the lights were quickly turned on, especially on the side of the ancient tomb, which was bright.

Could this be Yan Zijin’s tomb?

Yumu thought to himself.

We still don’t know who the owner of the tomb is, and Yumu is not sure whether this is Yan Zijin’s tomb. If it is, wouldn’t it be too desolate?

Yan Zijin's status in the Cizhao Kingdom was that one person was inferior to ten thousand people, and he was loved and worshiped by the people. It stands to reason that he should not be buried in a grand ceremony after his death?

Why was he buried in a small place in NC City? Such a small place?

Yumu couldn't understand, he frowned and stopped thinking.

She put on her work clothes and gloves, and came to Professor Liu's side with the other three people.

There are many professional cultural relic restorers here, but they don’t really need the help of Yu Mu and others. Just like a new intern, seeing this, I don’t know where to start, and I have nothing to do. I can only stand quietly and watch.

Yu Mu stood aside and watched for a while, then suddenly asked Professor Liu: "Who is the owner of the tomb? Are you sure?"

Hearing this, Professor Liu shook his head, "We still don't know whose ancient tomb it is."

"Isn't there a coffin?" Yumu asked with a frown.

"No."

As soon as Professor Liu finished speaking, the door curtain was opened, and someone walked in carrying a plate.

The man came over and said to Chen Yuansu: "Teacher Chen, this is what the archaeological team just found when they were digging deeper into the cemetery."

Several people present were stunned for a moment, and their eyes fell on the plate in the man's hand.

On top of the plate was a small box that was covered in dust and had no visible texture or shape.

Chen Yuansu frowned, then carefully took the plate, picked up the magnifying glass next to him and carefully observed the texture of the small box.

Professor Liu also stood aside and watched, asking: "Is there anything in the box?"

"Maybe." Chen Yuansu replied: "But this small box seems to have become very fragile due to the passage of time. If it is opened rashly, the box will probably fall apart by then."

"First clean up the dirt and dust next to it, and then take a closer look." Professor Liu was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Everyone felt a little strange. There were countless precious burial objects in an ancient tomb, but the owner of the tomb didn't even have a coffin, and he didn't even see a corpse. It was simply unbelievable.

After processing, a rough appearance of the box emerged. It was a very ordinary sandalwood box, not very precious.

Under the eyes of everyone holding their breath, the fragile box was slowly opened, and the contents inside were finally revealed.

It's a string of Buddhist beads.

And it looks well-preserved, without a trace of dust.

Teacher Liu picked it up carefully. Every Buddhist bead was extremely shiny, and it didn't look like it had been placed for more than a thousand years.

Suddenly, Chen Yuansu next to him frowned and asked, "What is the one in the middle?"

Everyone looked over and saw a transparent, exquisite bead among the crystal-clear and round beads. It was obvious that this bead was completely different from the beads next to it.
