Chapter 217: Chapter 171 I Saw it in a Novel (5000 Words Chapter)
Archaeological Team Dormitory, Single Apartment.
In a roughly thirty square meter one-bedroom apartment, Qin Sisi sat on the couch, her light white floral dress falling casually. Her gaze was still fixed on her cell phone screen.
The content of “Touch Gold Notes,” volume one, entered her field of vision.
‘I’ve decided to go check out the tomb mentioned in the Warring States silk manuscript.’
‘To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools.’
‘I’ve prepared threaded steel pipes, archaeology probes, dividing compasses, folding shovels, short hammers, multi-purpose military knives, and a few double-barreled shotguns from the black market to deal with the “zongzi.”‘
‘Who knows if those things actually exist.’
‘…’
Upon reading this, the slight frown on Qin Sisi’s brow quickly relaxed.
Zongzi?
As a professional member of the archaeological team who had been to several ancient tombs with the team, she knew well that there were no such things as ‘zongzi’ in tombs.
No wonder Lin Chuan said it had magical elements.
It turns out that this tomb-robbing novel added a lot of unscientific and unnatural elements.
However, that made the novel more captivating.
Qin Sisi continued to read on.
‘According to the “map”—the Warring States silk manuscript, the great tomb is located near Linyi in the Qilu region.’
‘Linyi was the location of the State of Lu during the Warring States period.’
‘The use of a silk manuscript to record it indicates that the tomb owner must have been a person of extraordinary status. Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder, what kind of burial objects might he have?’
‘I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.’
‘Finally.’
‘We were all ready, setting off.’
‘We brought a lot of contraband, so from here to Qilu’s Linyi, we had to take a long-distance bus, which was the travel method used by most tomb raiders in the past.’
‘Those who made big money would buy their own off-road vehicles to go deep into the mountains and dig up ancient tombs, usually organized tomb raiders with high skills and strong weapons.’
‘The long-distance bus was not comfortable to ride, and after more than ten hours of bumpy journey, I finally saw the scenery of the Qilu region.’
‘However, we didn’t stop to rest.’
‘Because the Warring States silk manuscript that my grandfather had was taken away by foreign soldiers many years ago, and now, they might also be acting on that great tomb.’
‘Tomb robbing is first-come-first-serve.’
‘We were quick, and as soon as we stepped onto the land of Linyi, we hurried to our destination.’
‘—The Taiyi Mountain Range.’
‘…’
Reading up to this point,
Qin Sisi instinctively paused her reading, her gaze fixating on the words ‘Taiyi Mountain Range.’
She put down her cell phone and took out a piece of A4 paper from her backpack.
On the paper was a rough sketch of the Ninth Archaeological Team’s excavation plan.
In the address column, it read: Qilu Region, Linyi, Taiyi Mountain Range.
