Chapter 12 Digging

Inside the coffin is a corpse with intact clothes?

Everyone was stunned when they saw the corpse.

Generally speaking, the body of the deceased will become swollen soon after it is placed in the coffin and buried. Some bacteria will breed in the body of the deceased, and foamy blood will flow out of the mouth and nose. About half a month later, the body of the deceased will

It gradually liquefies, attracting some carrion-eating insects to get into the coffin, bite the corpse, and destroy the clothes and flesh of the corpse.

Under the combined action of bugs and bacteria, the corpse will completely decompose and turn into white bones in about a year.

The corpse in front of him not only had no swelling, but also no spots that would appear hours after death. His face was lifelike, as if he was not dead but asleep, and even the clothes on his body were not rotten.

.

Could this be a newly deceased person?

And this is not an archaeological site, but a murder scene?

Someone killed him and buried him in a coffin, but a heavy rain caused a landslide and exposed the coffin?

Some people speculated in their minds, but he immediately rejected this guess in his mind.

No, no, judging from the material of this coffin and its own degree of corrosion, it would not have reached this level within decades, hundreds or even more years.

There can't be a perverted killer who dug up the coffin after killing someone, threw out the bones in the coffin, then put a wig on the body, changed clothes, fastened the coffin boards, and buried it in the soil again.

If yes.

Why does this perverted killer do this?

Because he's a pervert?

"Judging from the style of the corpse's clothes, the patterns and the style of the bun, this corpse should be from the Ming Dynasty, not a freshly buried corpse, but a real ancient corpse. As for why it didn't rot, more work needs to be done.

Only further research can determine this."

A professor surnamed Liu made a preliminary judgment after carefully inspecting the body.

And this judgment made the hearts of everyone present beat loudly.

The corpses of the Ming Dynasty have not decayed after hundreds of years, and they are as lifelike as real people.

If this discovery spreads, everyone's resume will be a glorious addition.

"Xiao Lin."

Professor Liu shouted, "Tell everyone to take this coffin back."

The biggest difference between archeology and tomb robbing is that after tomb robbers excavate something, they will only take away the valuable items and sell them. As for the rest, they will leave them there and let nature corrode these antiquities, while archeology will

Bring them all back to the institute for protection, and then while protecting the antiquities, they will conduct research, restoration... and water papers on these antiquities.

"yes."

Xiao Lin said immediately.

soon.

The team from the Cultural Relics Bureau carefully brought the coffin into the car.

As soon as they returned to the station, they immediately called for people from the identification center to confirm the age of the body.

"Professor Liu, the preliminary identification results are out."

The people at the appraisal center issued an appraisal report as quickly as possible. "The appraisal results show that this coffin should be produced between 1600 and 1650. It may take some time to get the results for a more specific time."

Between 1600 and 1650... it is indeed a corpse from the Ming Dynasty.

The assistants present and the students who were helping the professor became excited.

If Professor Liu's judgment may still be wrong, then the professor's judgment plus the appraisal center's report will make it 100% certain.

This corpse belongs to someone from the Ming Dynasty.

A corpse has survived four hundred years without decaying and is even lifelike. What a great discovery this is.

The mummy was nothing but scum in the face of this discovery.

And when they thought that they were involved in such a major discovery, they couldn't help but smile.

Students are happy because their graduation thesis is promising.

Most students in the Department of Archeology have a master's degree, and writing their graduation thesis will either bring new perspectives or make new discoveries.

However, predecessors have already finished writing the new angle, so where will it be your turn?

As for new discoveries, who among your students will take you to those ruins, such as Sanxingdui and other places for archaeology? But if they don’t take you to archaeological sites, where will you get new discoveries?

So there is a paradox that there is no Karazhan to play before you graduate.

But now, I have made a new discovery, and I have hope for graduation.

The assistant is happy because his resume looks better and he is a big step closer to a senior professional title.

Professor Liu took everyone's expressions into consideration and said with a serious face, "I know everyone is happy in their hearts, but while they are happy, the work that needs to be done must be done carefully and carefully. Don't make any mistakes, and don't fall in front of victory.

moment.”

Upon seeing Professor Liu's appearance, everyone immediately restrained their happiness and devoted themselves to intense and solemn research work.

They carefully took out all the funerary objects inside the coffin for inspection and maintenance.

In the process, they discovered some bamboo scrolls with characters engraved on them.

So he immediately took the bamboo scroll and translated it.

Seeing that they were all serious, Professor Liu showed an excited expression.

As an archaeologist, after making such a big discovery, the joy in his heart at this moment is no different from the joy he felt when his wife was delivering the house. He was waiting outside and suddenly heard the nurse say that the mother and child were safe.

It's just that he didn't show it in front of the students.

And just when everyone is engaged in research work.

Buzz!

Professor Liu's cell phone vibrated.

He took out his cell phone, looked at it, and connected to the WeChat video.

"Lao Hu, why did you, the big boss, think of calling me today?" he joked.

"Didn't I hear that you discovered a big discovery today that will shock the archaeological world? So I came to ask." On the other side of the phone, an old man with full hair and a rosy face said with a smile.

"You know it in less than half a day?"

Professor Liu was a little surprised, but thinking that his old friend who had grown up wearing crotchless pants was the richest man in Ningcheng and had great powers, it was very reasonable for him to know the news so quickly. "It is indeed a big discovery."

As he spoke, he told what he had discovered this time.

"I really envy you. I wish I hadn't given up on archeology."

As Old Hu spoke, he suddenly coughed violently, and his rosy face suddenly lost its color and turned pale.

Seeing him coughing, Professor Liu sighed softly, "You still haven't been able to find a cure?"

I and Lao Hu grew up wearing crotchless pants together. We played in the same yard when we were children. We were classmates in elementary school, junior high school, and high school. We even went to the same school and the same major in college.

The two met to make a big discovery together, which shocked the archaeological world.

But then Lao Hu suddenly dropped out of school and started doing business.

At first he didn't know why, and even went to question him. Only later did he find out that Old Hu's family had a hereditary disease. His body would first get cold, and then his body would get worse and worse, until he died. The reason why he went to do business was

, also to make money and hire the best doctors to solve the disease.

"No!"

Lao Hu shook his head and was about to speak.

At this moment, a young girl ran over with a report,

"Professor Liu, the translation results of those words are out."

"But the translation came out weird."

"Strange? What's strange?" Professor Liu's attention was attracted and he turned around and asked.

Hearing this, the young girl's face suddenly became strange, "What is recorded on it are the training methods and experiences of "Xuanyin Demon Slaying Knife", "Xuanyin Black Demon Capture Technique", "Xuanyin Divine Finger" and other techniques, as well as a picture

prescription."

What!

Over the phone, Lao Hu's expression changed.
