Chapter 207: Chapter 167: Your Ancestor Down Below Has a Lot of Say (5000-word Mega Chapter)_3
“`
Even Director Su Yu was taken aback as he said, “Generally speaking, if a stone gate is sealed, the fastest way to get through is to use a cutter or drill to make a hole.”
Lin Chuan looked towards Qin Sisi, his expression puzzled.
Qin Sisi also nodded her head.
She had studied in the archaeology department of history, and her courses in college had mostly covered characteristics of tombs, cultural relics, geographical knowledge, historical backgrounds, as well as methods of conservation for tombs and cultural relics.
As for professional skills training and hands-on practice, they involved visiting museums, touring some of the famous excavated tombs in the area, and observing the conservation and restoration of artifacts.
After graduation,
Even in Anling City’s Archaeological Team, it wasn’t guaranteed that anyone would possess these skills.
Everyone used methods like cutting stone gates, drilling holes; she had even naturally come to believe that this was the correct way to conduct archaeology.
Techniques like “Dragon-Seeking and Positioning” and “Observation, Listening, Inquiry, Pulse Taking” showcased by Lin Chuan today were things she had only seen online.
Therefore, she found them miraculous.
Yes, miraculous.
She never thought that these ancient tomb-raiding techniques could actually exist.
It was somewhat akin to someone who, having always received a scientific education and believed in science, suddenly witnesses a Taoist priest flying on a sword one day.
In Qin Sisi’s eyes, Lin Chuan was that ‘Taoist priest flying on a sword.’
This had suddenly opened the doors to a whole new world for her!
Lin Chuan was also taken aback for a moment, musing to himself, right, how could someone skilled in these tomb-raiding techniques be part of Anling archaeological team?
These people were either part of tomb-robbing gangs or sitting in prison.
Those not in prison, every single one of them, were sought-after by archaeological teams all over the place.
Well, then.
Sigh—
Lin Chuan took a deep breath, shook his head, and said with a smile, “Actually, using a cutter isn’t a bad method.”
Expert Lu, the archaeology specialist, upon hearing Lin Chuan’s endorsement, nodded his head in satisfaction. He took a look at Lin Chuan and suddenly found him much more agreeable, then said with an elder’s authority, “Young man, watch carefully and learn well!”
Saying that, he carried the stone-cutting machine towards the Stone Gate.
“Expert Lu, wait a moment.”
Lin Chuan still called out to stop the ‘experienced’ archaeology specialist, “Aren’t you afraid that there might be a mechanism if you cut it so rashly?”
“Mechanism?”
Old Lu’s face showed surprise, then he smirked, “What mechanism? From the Western Han period to now, two thousand years have passed, the mechanisms would have long decayed, no need to worry.”
“Is that really what you think?” Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched.
“I’ve opened several tomb’s stone doors before and never saw any mechanisms, rest assured.” Old Lu said, with his tone growing friendlier after he took a liking to Lin Chuan.
“Exactly how many tombs have you opened?” Lin Chuan asked.
“One, two, three…”
Old Lu counted on his fingers, “Four, five, a total of five.”
Lin Chuan grinned, “Expert Lu, your ancestors down there must have a lot of clout.”
“What do you mean?”
Expert Lu furrowed his brows.
“After you go back this time, burn a few extra incense sticks for your ancestors.” Lin Chuan smiled, then pointed, “Expert Lu, do you see the row of small holes beside the Stone Gate, right on the side?”
