Chapter 2136: Tomb of Yan State
Everyone looked through the opening and saw many coffins inside, and they couldn't help but feel frightened.
Fear doesn't solve problems.
Compared with the worries of others, Professor Liu seemed very calm.
"Let me go in first and take a look." Professor Liu said first, "I'm an old man anyway, so I'll go in first and take a look at the situation."
"This is not possible." Wang Jinpeng blocked him.
It's not just because of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. If Professor Liu alerts the monster inside, none of them will survive.
"Don't be impulsive. Let me go over and take a look first." Lin Ran mentioned.
Wang Jinpeng originally wanted to get in front of the team, but seeing Lin Ran's determined expression, he nodded.
At this time, Brother Lin is still reliable.
"Okay, don't force it." Everyone nodded in agreement.
When Lin Ran went in to test it out, Huang Lei couldn't help but ask: "Professor Liu, why do you feel that you have special research on this place?"
Professor Liu chuckled: "No, I just happened to have studied Mount Yamato."
He said nothing about the ghost family.
Instead, he said meaningfully: "Chinese culture has a long history. It would be a pity if this lost history was buried."
Although Huang Lei didn't understand what he meant, he still nodded.
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning listened and nodded secretly.
This is the professor of the archaeological team, unlike those who sit in the office all day, he is really in danger.
If you want to restore the truth of history, you really have to rely on these people.
Professor Liu realized that his words had unknowingly affected the mood of the native masters.
They began to understand why Professor Liu was excited just now, and they felt a sense of admiration in their hearts.
Lin Ran explored inside for a while and found that these coffins were very ordinary.
Inside is a very empty tomb with a large number of sarcophagi placed haphazardly.
There are also ear chambers on both sides of the tomb chamber. There are inscriptions engraved on the sarcophagus, which is somewhat similar to the coffin just now.
Lin Ran mustered up the courage to knock on it, and if he wanted to die, he would die.
Then he was ready to escape.
However, when he knocked it down, nothing happened for a long time.
"Is there anyone there?" Lin Ran asked teasingly.
There was still silence in response to him.
"Well, it should be fine." Although Lin Ran felt that the monster just now might have some intelligence, he would not think of ambushing them.
So he said to everyone at the door: "Why haven't we found any problems yet? Come in."
Professor Liu squeezed in first, followed closely by the others.
After he came in, he immediately saw the coffin placed in the center and saw the inscription on it.
Instantly, a golden light appeared in his eyes.
Although others knew there was no danger, they breathed a sigh of relief.
But when you come to the tomb, you will inevitably feel a little nervous and look at the surrounding environment.
Only Professor Liu was literally lying on the sarcophagus, looking at the inscriptions on it with excitement on his face.
"We found it!"
Lin Ran walked around the tomb and basically understood the situation inside, and found no traps yet.
So I came to Professor Liu.
He didn't recognize the words on it.
But judging from Professor Liu's expression, it seemed that he should understand.
Lin Ran interrupted Professor Liu, who was studying words feverishly, and asked, "Professor Liu, what is written on this?"
"We're going to have a blast this time!"
"Did you find it?" Wang Jinpeng ran over excitedly, "Have you found the burial objects?"
"No, no, no!" Professor Liu explained immediately, "I just said that we found a large tomb from the Warring States Period!"
Before others could continue asking, Professor Liu said: "This should be the tomb of the princes of the ancient Yan Kingdom!"
In fact, to be able to build such a vast mausoleum, everyone had already guessed that the tomb owner had a high status.
But I didn't expect that he was a prince from the Yan Kingdom.
Teacher Liu's words shocked everyone's spirits.
He accidentally bumped into the tomb of a Warring States prince.
They were all very happy. Wang Jinpeng thought that there must be a lot of funerary objects inside and they could make a small fortune.
Professor Liu lamented that he did not believe the wrong person.
I used to take archaeological piles to the mountains to search, but I never found the whereabouts of the tomb.
Later, the superiors no longer approved funding. He was already too old to go to the mountains for archeology alone.
Just when he had given up searching for the truth about Mount Yamato, Lin Ran found himself.
Believe him, it's true.
Finally, I found the Yamatoyama ruins that I had been thinking about day and night, so I didn’t want to spend so much time looking for people.
"The princes of the Yan Kingdom must be very rich!" Wang Jinpeng took the searchlight and shined it around, focusing on the ear room.
Although it is said that during the Warring States Period, the Yan State was rarely mentioned.
But it is the most orthodox among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the only one from a royal family.
The Kingdom of Yan was sealed on the northern border by the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou. It was responsible for guarding the country for the Emperor of Zhou and guarded the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years.
During the heyday of Yan State, it even came close to annexing Qi State.
Unfortunately, in the end, King Yan Hui excluded Le Yi due to suspicion, resulting in a missed opportunity.
Due to its geographical location, there were not many types of food crops at that time and the resources were poor, which caused the Yan State to be unable to keep up with its subsequent strength.
People's biggest impression of the Yan Kingdom is that it is a bitter and cold place with a vast land and few people.
But it is precisely because of this that all the people of Yan State are soldiers. They have fought with nomadic peoples for many years and accumulated rich combat experience.
Unfortunately, it was Qin that finally unified the Central Plains.
Lin Ran and Professor Liu focused their attention on this period of history.
The reason why they were excited was that they thought there might be books in the ancient tombs that would record some things they didn't know.
This is a very important archaeological document!
"Professor Liu, can you deduce the identity of the tomb owner?" Lin Ran asked.
"The specific identity is not clear yet." Professor Liu gave out the names of several princes, but he felt that they were not right.
First of all, there is no need to think about the king who has subjugated his country. The enemy will definitely not build a mausoleum for him.
To determine the identity of the tomb owner, it is necessary to bring historians over for joint research.
But what is certain is that the person in the tomb must be a prince of the ancient Yan Kingdom.
His body was actually found here.
"Can you please let me take a look?" Professor Liu was no longer interested in other things. He just wanted to study the inscriptions on it.
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning were not interested in this at all.
They felt that no matter how many meritorious deeds and victorious battles the ancient kings had, they were still piles of withered bones in the end.
They planned to go to the ear room to take a look. At this time, Professor Liu seemed to understand something and said: "There is something wrong with what is written here."
