The Mummy Extra: Tomb Raiders Alliance III

The next morning, O'Connor and his party arrived at the construction site at the foot of Lishan Mountain, which had been protected by Feng Yuxiang. The British Council in Wuhan sent someone to contact Feng Yuxiang. He committed suicide, and Feng Yuxiang, commander of the 11th Division of the Zhijun Army, took over as the governor of Shaanxi.

Feng Yuxiang was the head of the Beiyang Warlord who was stationed in Shaanxi. When he met O'Connor and the others at the Governor's Mansion in Shaanxi, he wore a soldier's uniform. Believers in Christianity, and when meeting foreign 'religionists', he also wore a cross hanging on his chest, which looked nondescript.

In fact, believing in Christianity became a trend in China at this time, and the warlords took pride in believing in Christianity. Thinking deeply, they were nothing more than currying favor with foreigners.

Not to mention anything else, if the British loosen their hands, they will give Feng Yuxiang arms and loans a few cents less interest, which is worth his curry favor.

Feng Yuxiang entertained foreign 'archaeologists' very enthusiastically. He graciously invited O'Connor and Laura to pray in the small church at his home. These few foreigners got to know each other well.

Although Britain suffered a heavy blow at this time, firstly, Feng Yuxiang might not know about it, and secondly, even if Feng Yuxiang knew about it, the British Empire still has a lot of money. Not to mention Chinese warlords? Although the British family business has been defeated, it is still somewhat nobler than the inferior yellow race. O'Connor and others think so.

In their view, only Europeans have culture and civilization, Christianity is a universal value, the British are first-class civilized people, Europeans are second-class civilized people, Americans are low-class civilized people, and Japanese are civilized barbarians , and the Chinese are at best better than those African natives, belonging to semi-civilized savages, while religious Chinese are a fully civilized variety of civilized savages, and are nobler than others.

So when Feng Yuxiang revealed his identity as a believer, they still had a bit of high regard and goodwill.

But when the two parties discussed the specific division of interests, this kind of goodwill was immediately forgotten. The British deputy director who led the way looked cold and said with a hint of order: "We ask the Beiyang side to come forward to protect our archaeological site. Team, suppress local thieves and rebels, and provide convenience for our activities here as much as possible."

Feng Yuxiang laughed and said: "We must protect the legitimate interests of your country, but we can't sell China's interests... right? Now on the streets, the word of mouth for your archaeological activities this time is very bad! Qin Shihuang is a member of China. A great emperor, his mausoleum is also an important property and treasure of the Chinese government. If your country is forced to take over its archaeological activities, I am afraid that it will cause controversy in public opinion that is not good for Britain. You know, there are also those rebels in the south The party is at work."

"If our Beiyang makes concessions to Britain! The group of rebels in the south will definitely besiege Beiyang in public opinion,

The cultural and educational circles will also strongly oppose this act of violating Chinese treasures and reselling Chinese cultural relics..."

The deputy director's eyes turned cold, and he said calmly: "The British government has no intention of stealing Chinese cultural relics..." As soon as he said this, Feng Yuxiang cursed in his stomach: "You are lying! More than ten years ago, the Gansu Dunhuang scriptures It seems that it is not exhibited in your British Museum? There are so many treasures in the China Pavilion, are they given to you by the Chinese people?"

"...But with all due respect, the Chinese government does not have the conditions to excavate and preserve cultural relics at all. Your country has no archaeology at all. Your country's history and culture can only be recognized and recognized by the international academic community under the development and protection of the UK. The approved results, handed over to you, will only let these precious cultural relics flow into the international cultural relics market, causing inevitable damage and loss."

"This archaeological operation is of great importance. Our country hopes to have a battalion of embassy guards at the archaeological site to protect our archaeologists and work normally. At the same time, we also need General Feng to provide reasonable help, such as guides and excavators. For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, General Feng should carefully consider our proposal."

In order to force Feng Yuxiang to agree in the shortest possible time, the deputy director had no choice but to violate the subtle shit-stirring tactics of the British diplomatic circles, and used a hard-boiled threat to make Feng Yuxiang let go. Ugly, but agreed to all the requirements of the British side.

The vice-consul knew that the matter of buying Feng Yuxiang's benefits later could be left to them to solve by themselves, and the most urgent task now was to get O'Connor and others to start working.

At the foot of Lishan Mountain, what Laura saw was an orderly excavation site. Laura was surprised to see a few people wearing hemp shoes and dressed as "Tufuzi" inserting a semi-cylindrical iron pole into the ground. Shovel, the head of the old man with gray hair, still kept the former clear whip, he put the braids on his head, and carefully inspected the dirt he brought up.

O'Connor walked behind Laura and asked in surprise, "What are these Chinese doing?"

"Hush!" Laura interrupted him and whispered, "I've heard Chinese archaeologists mention in archaeological documents that Chinese explorers and tomb robbers used a method called 'Luoyang shovel' They will bring out the soil tens of feet deep underground for analysis and inspection, they will observe the color and smell of the soil, determine its age, geological characteristics and tomb seals."

"Experienced Chinese explorers can even use them to determine whether someone has excavated this land on a large scale hundreds of years ago."

"It's amazing!" Laura exclaimed.

"The art of kanyu, the prime minister weighs the soil and tastes the water..." The gray-haired old man whispered to Chen Yulou next to him: "I have tasted the seventeen ancient wells around me, and I am sure that the water here is soft and sweet, with Three points of gold water and seven points of silver water can be said to be rich and long-lasting. It is also quite similar, weighing eight taels, and it is auspicious."

"Then why are you frowning frequently?" Chen Yulou asked puzzled.

"It's the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel. It's weird! I have already explored the upper layer of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Within 10,000 steps, there are traces of sealing soil mud. And the top layer of sealing soil is blue-black, it is Yangqing mud, and Yangqing mud often appears in the tombs of the Warring States Period."

"However, I have only seen Yangqing mud of this color in the tomb of a nobleman of the Qin State that I visited in the early years. At that time, your father was the leader. He led us to discover this tomb at the foot of Mount Saga. At that time, we I noticed the weirdness of this copper-colored sealing soil, and when we opened up the robbery hole in the sealing soil, unimaginable and terrifying things happened."

"Later we learned that this copper-colored Yangqing mud is also called 'Zhilong soil'. This kind of Yangqing mud needs to be mixed with human blood and smashed together with Yangqing mud excavated from ancient tombs. The earth pellets must weigh ninety-two ninety percent, mixed with Gu insects and eggs of foreign objects, and poured on the outer layer of the tomb's sealing soil."

"There are eight types of Gu worm eggs mixed into the Zhelong soil. After adding the eggs of a zerg worm called gnat worm, the worm hatches in the wind. After the sealing soil is covered, if it is more than three feet deep, there is underground shade. If the water is nourished by the spring, then the gnats in the sealed soil will slowly lay eggs and die. This kind of worm has a very peculiar temperament and needs to parasitize on the Gu worms to reproduce. Adults need to parasitize on the Gu worms to use the Gu worms to lay eggs. Sometimes the eggs laid by the Gu worms will carry the Gu worm eggs and the gnat worm eggs, and the gnat worms hatched together with the Gu worms will parasitize the next generation of Gu worms in the shortest time. , Before dying, the gnats will secrete a jelly like propolis to protect the gua worm eggs. After they grow up, they have to face the wind to grow wings."

"So the first batch of hatched gnat eggs, the grown gnats, died after protecting the worm eggs in the soil because they couldn't see the wind, and their parasitic worm eggs can last for thousands of years without loss. Vitality. Only by seeing the wind, the secretions protected from the Gu worms will disappear, prompting the Gu worms to hatch."

The old man sighed and said: "When we robbed the tomb of the nobles of the Qin Dynasty, because we dug up the sealed soil, the 2,000-year-old Gu worm eggs inside were exposed to the wind, and they decayed into countless Gu worms as fine as dust. It's inside our body." As he spoke, the old man carefully smashed the bronze-colored sealing soil lifted up by Luoyang shovel and showed it to Chen Yulou.

Some Gu worms, which were as big as a sesame seed and small and barely visible, shook out from the sealing soil.

Chen Yulou's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "So there is this kind of sealing soil in the land under our feet? So if a robbery hole is dug, how large a piece of sealing soil will the Gu worms be resurrected?"

The old man pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "As the wind blows from the robbery cave, it will probably disturb the Gu worms in the surrounding area."

"These Gu worms like yin and hate yang, and they will not appear on the ground where the sun shines, but they will soon spread everywhere in the robbery cave. When we enter the robbery cave, it is like entering a wormhole. From digging to stinging From the beginning of the dragon soil, it only takes three moments for the Gu worms to revive and breed, the larger the area dug up, the more Gu worms will be disturbed."

"This is the first layer of defense for the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!" Chen Yulou sighed, "With the great talent of the First Emperor, I don't know how many dangers there will be..."

O'Connor stared blankly at the people in Luoyang, and said with a sneer, "I don't think we need to look forward to those Chinese people, they are stupid and lazy uncivilized people... We don't have much time, so hurry up Excavate the coffin of the Dragon Emperor and prevent those Easterners from resurrecting him."

Laura objected, "I think we should hear from the local explorers..."

"Listen to them, we won't be able to dig the main tomb in a year!" O'Connor left here without looking back, and walked towards the tent set up on the site. Comments speed up progress.
