Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

"Academician Li, are these four gold bracelets all found here?"

Sima Haotian probably guessed their origin.

Li Mo smiled and said: "It should be said that they were all picked up in this area. After the water here is drained, tomorrow we will go directly down to the bottom of the river to turn it upside down and just pick up the treasures."

Yanagawa Kei looked at the area, then looked back at the other archaeological experts who were arriving one after another and asked: "How many people are going to arrange to go pick up treasures tomorrow?"

"When it comes to the ability to identify antique cultural relics, the three of us are definitely better than other archaeological experts. Tomorrow, the three of us will go down and try to excavate the bottom of the river. Judging from my previous exploration results, those buried under the river are Various cultural relics are probably about ten centimeters under the river, and they are easy to dig out. By the way, Master, Professor Sima, we will go over together to meet other archaeological experts, and we will work together in the future."

"Okay, just follow your arrangements."

Since Sima Haotian was brought back from the United States by Li Mo, after several years of hard work, he has established a very authoritative and positive image. Coupled with his superb ability to identify treasures, there are often rumors in the antique world that he has found something missing again. People outside can't guess how much he is worth now.

Therefore, Li Mo brought him forward to share a lot of social pressure. As for Yanagawa Kei, in addition to being Li Mo's master, he and his master Song Zhizheng, master and apprentice for three generations, found the legendary Jiuding Ji, a national artifact, which made his reputation reach its peak.

Now he is not only a history professor at the University of Magic, but also the first curator of the Suzhou Marine Archaeological Base, so he is also a top figure in the historical academic community. They are about the same age as those archaeological experts, so they have more to talk about when they meet.

As expected, they came forward, and Li Mo quickly squeezed out of the crowd. When he saw Jia Siyuan and his wife standing outside looking at the place curiously like ordinary tourists, he couldn't help but wave to them.

Jia Siyuan pulled his wife towards this side, and then said a few words to the soldier standing guard. The soldier turned and glanced at Li Mo. Seeing him nodding, he took out two work IDs from the bag at his feet and handed them over. To Jia Siyuan and his wife.

"Brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law."

The couple shouted respectfully.

"Why did you suddenly come here to travel?" Li Mo smiled, "You guys keep your work permit for now, and we'll get it on the first day tomorrow, and then we'll take a closer look. Over there, the preliminary work is basically done. "

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Jia Siyuan no longer showed any rebelliousness in his body. He completely settled down and became an ordinary person who worked hard to live a life. Of course, in fact, he is still extraordinary, but he has lived the kind of peaceful and contented life he wants.

"Auntie, where is she?"

"She was picked up by the person in charge of the Inner Mongolia authorities and is expected to come tomorrow."

"That's fine. You can go shopping by yourself first and then have dinner together in the evening."

Li Mo gave a few instructions and walked towards the river. Shao Tou is directing over there. The dam has been surrounded, two water pumps are in place, and a diesel engine is generating electricity.

"We will arrange to stand guard here at night and prepare enough food and drink for everyone."

Shatou nodded and said, "Boss, don't worry, everything has been arranged."

A total of sixteen archaeological experts gathered here. As the commander-in-chief, Li Mo naturally entertained everyone. At the dinner table, an old acquaintance asked: "Academician Li, what are the work arrangements for tomorrow?"

Li Mo put down his chopsticks and said: "You may have guessed that there is a big discovery in the area separated by the dam by the river, so we will start from there tomorrow. In addition, there will be a set of high-tech equipment detectors tomorrow It will be transported there, a comprehensive survey of the enclosed area on the grassland will be conducted, preliminary data will be obtained, and then we will discuss where to start excavation. This matter will be completed by the experts here. "

"Academician Li, this matter is all our responsibility. I really hope that the underground secret palace you discovered is the secret treasure of Genghis Khan. If that is the case, then we can create a new archaeological record."

"Hahaha, if the underground secret palace is really as big as the area circled by Academician Li, then we can retire directly after we have thoroughly studied the secret palace."

"I think that even if it is not the secret treasure of Genghis Khan, as long as it is the tomb of a certain emperor of the Mongol Empire of the Yuan Dynasty, it is of great significance. After all, so far, we have not found any real tomb of the royal family of the Mongol Empire."

All the archaeological experts started talking about it.

What they said was correct. Li Mo did not participate in their discussion. He filled his stomach silently.

Qin Yali actually arrived in Manzhouli at night, but she didn't alert Li Mo and the others. Li Mo received her call early the next morning, and then he knew that not only she had arrived, but also the heads of officials at all levels. Official representatives today were not Few, which shows that Li Mo attaches great importance to this discovery.

"Xiao Mo, let's go have breakfast together."

Yanagawa Qing met Li Mo in the corridor and asked him to eat together.

"Aunt Qin is here. I'll go see her."

"Okay, Professor Sima and I will go to the restaurant to have breakfast first."

Li Mo and Qin Yali chatted alone for more than ten minutes. After they separated, he sighed slightly. Did the Inner Mongolian officials think too much? He had no intention of enmity with anyone, and he never thought about finding anyone. big trouble.

"Boss, the official representative wants to see you, do you think so?"

Sha Tou walked up to him and asked softly.

"I definitely want to meet them. If I don't, they won't be at ease."

The news of the discovery of underground treasures near Bell Lake has detonated the entire Internet, especially the official channels have released many photos of the scene. Seeing the huge enclosed grass area, many people are already wondering whether the underground secret palace is large in scale. Is it too big?

No matter what the outside world was discussing, Li Mo had no time to care. He, his master Yanagawa Kei, and his old friend Sima Haotian were already standing by the river. The three of them put on their boots and prepared to go down. Some experts were already making preparations for the detection, while the remaining experts gathered around to see what treasures Li Mo and the others would find at the bottom of the river.

On the side, the live broadcast has been started. The reporter is briefly introducing the situation at the scene, and also interviews two archaeological experts who are watching. Of course, they know everything and what they say is what they say on the scene.

Li Mo went down to the bottom of the river. The bottom of the river was covered with small pebbles of all sizes. He stopped talking and waved the shovel in his hand.

A shovel brought up a lot of pebbles, and then he squatted down and rummaged through the pebbles, and picked out a hairpin-like thing from it, which was a little deformed. A soldier put a bucket filled with water next to him. Li Mo put the hairpin covered in mud in his hand into the bucket and kept playing with it. When he took it out, the crowd of onlookers suddenly cheered. I really didn't expect that Li Mo could dig out a gold hairpin inlaid with turquoise with just a shovel. He didn't know which dynasty the gold hairpin was from.

"Professor Sima, look at this gold hairpin inlaid with turquoise."

Sima Haotian took the gold hairpin and looked at it carefully and commented: "The use of turquoise can be traced back to eight thousand years ago. It was widely used in various jewelry during the Yin, Shang, Qin and Han dynasties. Until the Tang Dynasty, turquoise was not As a mainstream decoration, it is only used sporadicly. After the Tang Dynasty, turquoise basically withdrew from the stage of history, but gold, silver, gemstones, etc. were used more and more. However, in many ethnic minorities, the utilization rate of turquoise is still very high. "

"This turquoise gold hairpin looks a bit like a legacy of the Qin and Han Dynasties in terms of style."

After Sima Haotian finished speaking, he handed it to Yanagawa Qing. He looked through it several times and nodded and said, "I agree with Professor Sima's identification. It is almost a gold hairpin ornament from the Qin and Han Dynasties."

This was the first cultural relic brought up by Li Mo, and all the experts standing on the shore looked at it one by one.

"Master, Professor Sima, let's proceed in three directions."

"OK."

Yanagawa Qing and Sima Haotian were not as violent as Li Mo. They went down directly with a shovel. They were afraid of accidentally damaging some precious cultural relics and making a big mistake. As for Li Mo's lawless behavior, no one seemed to find fault with him.

Li Mo shoveled it down for the second time, dug it out again, and picked out something in the shape of a bracelet. After washing it with water in the bucket, it turned out to be a gold bracelet with a dragon's head.

"What a good thing, it's another very exquisite gold bracelet." Li Mo glanced at it and had an idea in his mind. He handed the dragon head gold bracelet to an expert on the shore and smiled, "Expert Zhao, here you go. have a look?"

Expert Zhao looked at it carefully and did not draw a conclusion directly. Instead, he discussed it with other experts in a low voice before saying: "From the perspective of craftsmanship, there are no obvious characteristics of the times. But from the analysis of this dragon head, the span is relatively large. We believe this gold dragon head bracelet is a cultural relic handed down from the Six Dynasties."

The Six Dynasties in history generally refer to the six dynasties in the south from the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty in the history of southern China, namely the Sun Wu, the Eastern Jin, the Southern Song, the Southern Qi, the Southern Liang, and the Southern Chen.

Li Mo had less contact with the antique cultural relics of the Six Dynasties, but the timeline of their appraisal was almost in the Six Dynasties stage, from the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty, which spanned more than 360 years.

"We will dig below, and the cultural relics we unearth will be handed over to you for appraisal and registration."

Sima Haotian also dug up something at this moment, which was a gold wrench with a dragon pattern. This is awesome. If the dragon pattern is engraved on the wrench finger, the user has a distinguished status.

As the excavation work began, pieces of exquisite jewelry were revealed. It was hard for everyone to imagine how there could be so many jewelry from different dynasties buried in this small area. No matter how they thought about it, they felt it was extremely unreasonable.

Li Mo looked violent every time he shoveled, and the official media considered it and pointed the camera at Sima Haotian. Look at his demeanor, you can tell he is an authoritative figure in the archaeological world. Sima Haotian is rich in knowledge and can talk about a lot of historical knowledge, which is a wonderful enjoyment for people to listen to.

By the time they finished their work at noon, the three of them had unearthed thirty-eight pieces of various gold and silver ornaments from the bottom of the river, ranging from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, and even ornaments from ethnic minorities in the same period of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Such a huge harvest has been achieved in just half a day, and everyone's focus has shifted to 'why are all kinds of treasures from ancient times buried in that place, and what happened there at a certain point in the past.'

Niu Sanpang was very depressed. He had promised to take him to pick up treasures with him, but he had been looking forward to it for a long time and Li Mo didn't even call him. He had no choice but to stay with Qin Yali, chatting every sentence with the Inner Mongolian officials.

At lunch, he sat next to Li Mo, kicked him lightly and whispered, "Those official representatives are all old fools. I can't wait for them. How about I go down with you to pick up treasures in the afternoon?"

Li Mo turned his head and glanced at the several official representatives sitting at the next table. He felt that it was not easy for them. In order to be able to show more face, he had to accompany them here to enjoy the sunshine.

"Then follow me this afternoon."

Li Mo sent a text message to Qin Yali and asked her to handle the matter. After all, she was transferred directly from Kyoto, so the local people naturally wanted to give him some respect.

Niu Sanpang finally got away. In the afternoon, he changed his clothes and jumped off. He did not dig, but helped the three of them. He would clean everything they dug, and then hand it to the experts on the shore for them to appreciate and then register it in the register.

While Li Mo and the others were digging for treasure, a group of experts who were detecting the situation in the underground palace were shocked. If the machine was not broken, it meant that there was a super giant mausoleum hidden under their feet. They had never encountered a mausoleum before, and there was no record of it in ancient books.

The data are continuously summarized one by one to form a data model on the computer.

"Academician Li is really amazing. The area he circled is only a little larger than the Imperial Tomb."

"Judging from the computer data model, this underground secret palace is divided into three relatively independent spaces on the left, middle and right, with the middle occupying 60% of the entire size group. Judging from the metal detection response, the secret palace is filled with massive amounts of metal. wealth."

"Then let's see how Academician Li arranges it."

Several younger experts who had been busy here finally took a deep breath. The preliminary data made them extremely excited. Now they are waiting to see what Li Mo will arrange next.

The engineer company has already begun to build the fence for pulling the net. Li Mo thinks that the tourists can watch from a distance, but it is simply wishful thinking for them to want to walk in openly.

"Hello, Expert Zhao, we, Academician Li, would like to invite you to go to the river." The shaved head trotted over and shouted.

Expert Zhao immediately put down his work and followed Shao Tou towards the river.

"Excuse me, do you know how many treasures Academician Li and his colleagues unearthed this afternoon?"

The shaved head thought for a moment before saying: "I really don't know the specific number, but later I heard those archaeological experts mention that so far, more than forty pieces of various antique jewelry have been unearthed in the afternoon. Expert Zhao , why do you think so many precious cultural relics were found in the river?"
