Hearing Mr. Wei's praise, Fang You chuckled, and then said jokingly, "Mr. Wei, your footprints have traveled all over China, and you have brought many treasures from ancient tombs back to the world. Compared to me, you

Old people are truly amazing."

Mr. Wei looked helpless, pointed at Fang You and shook his head with a smile, "You kid, when did you learn to flatter me?"

Fang You chuckled, "Mr. Wei, I didn't learn this from anyone, I just told the truth."

"You kid..." Mr. Wei shook his head, and then picked up the fragments. "Fang Xiaoyou, let's see what the real condition of this porcelain is."

Fang You smiled softly, "Mr. Wei, I am the most familiar with Yongle blue and white. Although the porcelain fragments are burnt black, you can still see that the texture of the porcelain is delicate and the glaze color is bright. It cannot be made in ordinary folk kilns."

Such a fine product must be an excellent work from the official kiln. What I am confused about is that such a fine product from the official kiln seems to have suffered a big explosion and became shattered beyond recognition. It is really a waste of natural resources. "

Seeing Fang You looking at him with a sigh, Mr. Wei felt a little ashamed, as if he had ruined this thing himself. He couldn't help but laughed twice and said with a smile: "Little friend Fang, this thing was exploded by us."

It was discovered at the scene that the place where the explosion occurred was originally an uninhabited haunted house. I heard from nearby villagers that it was often haunted, but a big explosion suddenly occurred some time ago."

"From the scene of the explosion, we not only found these porcelain fragments, but also some tools used in tomb robberies. What is even more strange is that there were people inside when the explosion occurred, and there were more than one. Unfortunately, a piece of the body was shattered in the explosion. There was no trace of the person at the scene.

The situation, we guess, is that the two tomb robbers fought due to uneven distribution of the loot, and during the fight, they lit the gun they used to blow up the mountain."

"After the incident, the local police notified us, and we immediately came to the village. After viewing the scene, we visited villagers who had been in contact with these two people before their deaths, and went to their homes to check one by one, but it turned out that

We didn't get any information, because the local villagers, after living with them for so many years, didn't find any suspicion at all. We also found some porcelain in the homes of these two people, and asked their family members, but they didn't know about this tomb either.

's true location."

"However, after the explosion, another person in the village also disappeared. His whereabouts are still unknown. He must have fled in panic after seeing the explosion. We walked around the village for four or five days. But there was no trace.

No gain at all.”

Fang You smiled helplessly. It would be strange if he had gained something. The mausoleum was located in a mountain, and the surrounding area was extremely steep. It was not comparable to the mountains of hundreds of miles like flat land. If it weren't for people like Zhu Papi, he would have

Passing through the mountains, you won't notice it at all.

The other person didn't run away, but fell down the mountain. It was Ergouzi with a very sharp nose. After the explosion, this guy didn't hide at home to avoid the wind. Instead, he took a sack and secretly

Sneak into the tomb and stuff the bag as hard as you can.

At that time, Fang You really felt that this guy was a little heartless, so he just said a few words underground. He was so scared that he ran away in panic. After blocking the cave, Fang You escaped to the bottom of the mountain and saw this

The guy was lying on the ground in the shape of a dog chewing shit. He seemed to be so frightened that he lost his footing and fell down the mountain.

After pondering for a while, Fang You looked at the fragment and said: "Mr. Wei, if this fragment is intact, since it is in the official kiln, it is also a fine work. If this porcelain is really stolen from the tomb, then what does it represent?

At the very least, he is a prince or general. The tombs of this kind of people are always hidden deeply, and it must not be easy to find them."

Mr. Wei sighed with a look of pity on his face, "Little friend Fang, your analysis is correct, but we don't care whether we can find it or not, but we deplore the precious cultural relics inside. Once a tomb is robbed and the robbers dig out the hole,

The outside air will continuously enter a closed space with countless rooms, and the precious cultural products inside will gradually oxidize, especially some rare ancient paper books. This is our understanding of the social form at that time.

The most important means."

"We are not in a hurry right now. The most important thing now is another matter." Mr. Wei stared at Fang You closely, with a malicious look. Fang You could analyze these things without studying tomb culture.

Now, his attainments have moved from antiques to another subject. How can this not make Mr. Wei's eyes shine?

A top antique collector, this is a good talent that you can't find even with a lantern. Archeology is an unpopular subject. Most of the people in the class he teaches have read one or two novels or hunted for treasures.

TV series, I want to study archeology wholeheartedly, and then go hunting for treasures in various places to experience the excitement and fun.

This is simply a huge absurdity. Only by becoming real archaeologists can they know how difficult archeology is, especially when operating in field tombs. It is a rigorous task that cannot allow any omissions.

Work.

Especially when cleaning up the fragments in the tomb, it is boring and almost maddening. There are no magical treasures, but only various ancient items that are in tatters and look dilapidated.

Not to mention, some students who apply for this major only know antiques at the level of valuable treasures.

Seeing the strange expression on Mr. Wei's face, even with Fang You's peaceful mind, he couldn't help but jump and stepped back, "Mr. Wei, what do you want to do?"

Seeing that he had frightened Fang You like this, Mr. Wei couldn't help but touch his nose, and then his eyes returned to their original state. He looked at Fang You as if he had seen some treasure: "Little friend Fang, what do you think of archeology?"

Afraid of scaring Fang You away, Mr. Wei started to pour ** soup into Fang You's mouth.

Fang You nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, archeology can restore history thousands of years ago. In the process, it allows us to understand the long-standing culture of the Chinese nation and gives us the opportunity to recreate the glorious civilization of our ancestors."

A relaxed smile appeared on Mr. Wei's face, and he continued to guide gently, "Little friend Fang, if there is an opportunity for you to participate in this work, would you be willing?"

Indeed, as Fang You said, archeology is not about digging for treasure or treasure hunting, but about trying to explore the long history and culture. It is about trying to recreate the splendid civilization of ancient times.

Seeing that Mr. Wei still had that expression on his face, Fang You said helplessly: "Mr. Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There are too many circles in this circle."

His trick was seen through by Fang You. Mr. Wei smiled heartily. Indeed, what was he doing in going around in so many circles? If Fang You didn't want to learn, forcing him would have no effect. What's more, there are some skills in antiques and archeology.

Similarities. Just imagine if an antique collector would not have the slightest interest in archeology.

"Haha, Xiaoyou Fang, if you have nothing to do during this period, stay here. You can help us identify the cultural relics and explain the culture inside them. I will teach you some knowledge about archaeological tombs. Do you think it's okay?" Mr. Wei said with a smile.

.

Fang You thought for a while and nodded, "Mr. Wei, I came here to learn knowledge from you. As for appraising cultural relics, you are always here, do you still need me?"

Mr. Wei smiled happily, "Okay, okay, neither arrogant nor impatient. These are the qualities that young people should have. Haha, Fang Xiaoyou. What university did you graduate from?"

Even old men like them, who have been playing with antiques for many years, would inevitably feel a little arrogant if they picked up so many shocking treasures. Fang You can always maintain a peaceful state of mind, which ordinary people cannot compare with.

Fang You was a little confused and didn't know why Mr. Wei was asking this. But he still answered truthfully, "Mr. Wei, I graduated from the Department of Financial Management of Liuzhou University of Finance and Economics." This university can only be regarded as a third-rate university in the country, but Fang You

You don't have any inferiority complex because of this. University doesn't mean anything. Only by going through hard work in society can you have a bigger stage.

Mr. Wei frowned, and then relaxed: "Fang Xiaoyou, although you are studying finance, your research on antiques has reached a very high level. You can only learn a little bit about tomb culture here for a few days."

How about you apply for my graduate degree? I believe that with your level of antiques, the exam will not be a problem."

Some archaeological staff nearby couldn't help but be a little surprised. Professor Wei has always been very strict in recruiting disciples. They are just people sent by the Archaeological Research Institute to help. Wang Chao and another young man standing next to him have been screened at all levels.

Only then was he finally reluctantly accepted by Mr. Wei as his disciple.

Now this Fang You, Mr. Wei took the initiative to recruit a disciple and even asked the client for his opinion, for fear that he would not agree. This was an unprecedented first time.

Fang You nodded with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Wei. I will definitely study hard and live up to your high expectations." Fang You was very happy to be able to enter the school again, and archeology and antiques are connected, so he can study more brilliantly.

The ancient culture and historical customs are very attractive to him.

Mr. Wei couldn't help but smile on his face, "Okay, I will give you some general knowledge in the past few days, and then give you some review materials. You can go back and integrate it, and wait until September next year to come to Beijing to see me." Although he was very nervous.

He likes Fang You's character, but archeology is rigorous, and he must take all the tests that should be taken. It just so happens that he can also see what level Fang You has reached in various archaeological requirements, and then in the next teaching process,

Only then can we teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

"Mr. Wei, I understand." Fang You nodded, with a slightly excited expression. After all, this is what he loves. It is equivalent to the excitement of a person who loves computers and has been admitted to a famous computer university.

and satisfaction that ordinary people cannot experience.

Mr. Wei smiled and said, "Okay, from these ordinary porcelains, you can also know that what we are digging now is the tomb of a rich man from the late Ming Dynasty. When we discovered it, there were four or five robber holes in the tomb. We were worried

The contents in the tomb will be oxidized, so we reported it to the Archaeological Research Institute and started rescue excavation. Take a rest and we will go to the site later to familiarize ourselves with the environment. By the way, Xiaoyou, are you afraid of dead people?"

Fang You was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head subconsciously. After possessing the Earth Escape Technique, he escaped to the tomb and saw the dead. He treated the dead with a normal attitude and did not feel any fear at all, let alone doing it himself.

A few tomb robbers, his mental stability cannot be shaken by the dead.

Of course, it depends on the situation. If it was the two corpses defiled by scum that Fang You found in Wu Yang, then he would never be able to restrain the anger in his heart.

Mr. Wei smiled and said, "As long as you are not afraid of dead people, you must be mentally prepared. The mummies unearthed from the tombs will look very scary."

"Mr. Wei, these corpses are just like us. They have just evolved over time. We will also become the same people in the future. So, there is nothing to be afraid of. They are also human beings." Fang You said calmly, after several times

When he entered the tomb, he did not treat the corpses in the tomb as objects at all. They were also human beings, but they just lived in ancient times.

"Xiaoyou. You are right. They are human beings just like us. Xiaoyou, I know your doubts. We will not make any negligence in this regard and respect the dead. It is our archaeological staff who first and foremost

The conditions are met." Mr. Wei said with a serious expression.

When he met Fang You for the first time, this boy had some misunderstandings about archeology. I think his few words of explanation at the time would not be able to dispel this misunderstanding, but through understanding the archaeological site, this boy would definitely understand what archeology is.

What kind of job is it, and how is it different from tomb robbing?

Fang You nodded lightly. He was a little hesitant when he came because he didn't want to see what he didn't want to see. Now that he heard Mr. Wei's words, he felt a little relieved.

After sitting in the tent for a while, I saw the archaeological staff gently handling some broken cultural relics. They were even lighter than the people playing with antiques. There were several small bags containing some artifacts that seemed to be from ancient times.

The soil excavated from the tomb aroused Fang You's interest, and he couldn't help but ask Mr. Wei: "Mr. Wei, does archeology still need to study the soil layers in the tomb?"

Mr. Wei smiled happily and asked if he didn't understand. This is what a scholar needs to possess most. "Haha, Xiaoyou, our archeology is not just about exploring the splendid civilizations of ancient times through the objects in tombs. Likewise, archeology

It involves many disciplines, but we used to only pay attention to the excavation of funerary objects and human skeletons in tombs, ignoring this point."

"We study the soil in the tomb mainly to understand the remains of plants and animals at that time. After thousands of years of evolution, some ancient plants can no longer be seen in modern times. It is through some of the plants and animals in the soil that we can

The remaining objects must be identified and analyzed to learn about the conditions of other species besides humans at that time.”

Fang You nodded, his eyes full of surprise. He always thought that archeology was about studying the cultural relics unearthed from tombs. He never thought that so many things could be studied through the soil in tombs.

"Haha, speaking of which, let me tell you an interesting story." Mr. Wei seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile, and then began to talk.

Many archaeological workers around them stopped their work and listened carefully to Mr. Wei's words, "At that time, we were conducting rescue excavations on an Eastern Han Dynasty tomb in a place in Hebei Province. As a result, when extracting the soil from each tomb chamber, in one tomb chamber

A few handfuls of green seedlings were found on the outer wall. In the sunshine, these seedlings grew very vigorously, with four or five leaves growing on each of them. This attracted the attention of the local agricultural archeology department, which sent personnel to move them.

Take a sample."

"The doubt at that time was whether these seeds grew from the inside of the soil in the tomb, or were caused by subsidence of the ground surface, or were left by rat holes brought in by tomb robbers when they filled the tomb with soil. These all aroused the interest of archaeologists.
