Chapter 215: Chapter 170 No Wonder He’s So Familiar with the Qilu Region (Five Thousand Word Chapter)_2
As everyone knows, even with modern technology, it is difficult to enter the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor without causing destruction.
This calls for ancient tomb-robbing techniques that have been passed down through generations.
That Touch Gold Captain was also given high regard by the archaeological team.
This makes it clear that the tomb-robbing techniques passed down from ancient times can play an unexpected role in the archaeological process.
Because many kings and generals were buried according to the geomancy of the earth’s veins.
The lineage of tomb robbers specifically studied this aspect.
This is something that modern scientific instruments cannot replace.
Dragon-Seeking and Positioning is also a famous extraordinary skill within the tomb-robbing techniques.
“Regarding Dragon-Seeking and Positioning, I don’t understand it, but later Lin Chuan took us to the supposed location of the tomb and started digging up the earth with an archaeological spade. He sniffed the soil and said this move is called…”
Old Yao instantly added, “The Art of Soil Sniffing from Observation, Listening, Inquiry, Pulse Taking!”
“Captain Yao also understands the Art of Soil Sniffing?” Qin Sisi was taken aback.
“A little bit.”
Old Yao smirked, thinking to himself, how could I not understand? I dream of learning these skills!
Qin Sisi continued:
“Well, Lin Chuan smelled the soil, then tested the dampness of that spot and confirmed that it was where the tomb was located. We arranged for the workers to dig down, and sure enough, they found a layer of stone bricks.”
“What a talent!” Old Yao was filled with a desire to recruit him.
“Captain Yao, he has another extraordinary skill,” Qin Sisi praised Lin Chuan.
“Another extraordinary skill?”
Phew! Old Yao gasped in surprise.
“Yes, we dug from south to north following Lin Chuan’s instructions and found the entrance to the tomb, but the entrance was blocked by a huge stone more than two meters high, immovable.” Qin Sisi recalled.
“Generally speaking, the entrances to large tomb chambers are sealed off and difficult to penetrate.” Old Yao nodded in agreement, “What did you plan to do?”
Qin Sisi thought for a moment and said, “Our archaeological expert was planning to cut a hole through the giant stone with a stone cutter and then go inside, but Lin Chuan didn’t agree.”
“Did Lin Chuan have another method?” Old Yao frowned and asked.
“Yes, he stuck two fingers into two small holes in the stone gate, and then the stone gate opened,” Qin Sisi said seriously with pursed lips.
“Double Finger Probe!”
Old Yao’s eyes bulged, and his voice rose several decibels; he felt like standing up, but considering his image, he took a deep breath to calm his excitement.
“Is Double Finger Probe that powerful?” Qin Sisi couldn’t help but ask, seeing Old Yao’s reaction.
“Of course, it is powerful!” Old Yao slowly recovered his composure and replied.
‘Dragon-Seeking and Positioning’ and ‘Art of Soil Sniffing’ could still be compensated for with experience and intuition.
But ‘Double Finger Probe’ is nearly an ultimate skill among the Touch Gold Captains.
