Earlier, when he first came into contact with this ancient tomb, his postgraduate tutor Li Guoxian said: "This tomb is strange."

At that time, almost all archaeologists guessed that this was a tomb of the Han Dynasty. If it was not the Han Dynasty, it was also a tomb during the period after the Han Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty. However, Li Guoxian at that time did not express any opinion. In front of everyone, Li Guoxian only said one sentence: There is no conclusion, all speculation is just speculation.

As for their students, Li Guoxian was a little less cautious, telling them that the tomb was not easy, and asked them to observe carefully.

Maybe Li Guoxian had discovered something at that time, and he had already made some calculations in his heart, but he was not sure.

In the future archaeological excavations, Tan Cheng also gradually understood the meaning of Li Guoxian's words, this tomb is very strange. In terms of the advanced means of tombs, it lags behind the Tang Dynasty and is higher than the Han Dynasty. They once thought it was a tomb of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but after careful observation of the excavated burial objects, the patterns and design styles are fundamentally different.

The test on the bones of the thousand-person cultivation pit dug up in the early years shows that the age is about 1500 years ago... But 1500 years ago, that was the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties!

Not knowing how to explain the conflicting answers, as the excavation and research progressed, Tan Cheng wanted to know the identity of the tomb owner more and more urgently. He has made guesses, countless guesses, and some guesses even Tan Cheng finds unbelievable.

He remembered that Zhang Jun once said to him and Jiang Bo like a joke: "Could this tomb not belong to any dynasty known in history at all? Haha, or that dynasty was forgotten by history for some reason."

Hearing this, Qin Cheng groaned in his heart, and glanced at Zhang Jun, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Like the legendary ancient country of Loulan?" Qin Cheng didn't answer Zhang Jun's tentative words, but just asked a question.

"You mean to say whether there will be a historical fault?" Jiang Bo said Zhang Jun's meaning in one sentence at that time, "Just like Xia and Shang more than 2000 BC, because there is no documentary record, foreign historians do not admit it at all. …”

Speaking of this, Jiang Bo was also puzzled, "But more than a thousand years ago, when the feudal system was flourishing, the history of China was not interrupted at all, how could an empire appear in the middle, and there is no record of the whole history. . This is absolutely impossible! Even if the empire is annihilated for some special reason, it is impossible that there is no record in the official history!"

In fact, Jiang Bo's doubts and doubts are also Tan Cheng's doubts, and they are also the doubts of all the archaeologists who are currently standing in this tomb. Even if there is such a dynasty in history that they don't know, at least there will be records in the official history of each dynasty in the future, but they can find all the history books, and they can't find even a clue.

If they guessed correctly, this empire really existed on this earth, it would be like appearing out of thin air and disappearing suddenly without leaving a trace in anyone's memory, just like it didn't exist...

Such a guess is too terrifying and too unthinkable, making Qin Cheng feel that there is no possibility.

However, looking at the ghost who had been in the world for thousands of years in front of him, Tan Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying that it was impossible, he once thought that there were no ghosts in this world, but what was this a year ago

As a scholar who studies the space and time of the universe said, after all, human beings are nothing but too tiny things in the universe, but we have always wanted to use this extremely tiny mind to explain the huge universe, and even the entire universe cannot be seen clearly. How can you say that it is impossible.

What time is, where it starts and ends, and where it stops, no one knows, so who can absolutely say what happened in the past...

Tan Cheng's sentence: "There is no such dynasty in history", which made Su Jingmo stunned for a moment,

"No?"

"No." Shaking his head, Qin Cheng said, "There is no record in the history books."

Qin Cheng said something wrong, making Su Jingmo laugh out loud: "Records in the history books? I'm just curious that this tomb is placed here. Do you actually believe in the history books even more?"

Speaking of this, Su Jingmo squinted his eyes. Although he said that, he still had doubts in his heart. Why was there no record? He could know what happened before his death, but he didn't know anything about what happened to the outside world after he died. Xu, it was nearly 70 years before his death, could it be that Xu was destroyed after his death

No, it's impossible. At that time, none of the fan states on the Daxu border had the ability to compete with Daxu, and Daxu's troops and horses had already shocked the Quartet. Even if he didn't mention this, Su Jingmo didn't think that the emperor after him, the cold-blooded younger brother, would destroy Daxu.

Looking at Qin Cheng's eyes, Su Jingmo knew that this person didn't tell him a lie...

Seeming to remember something, Su Jingmo suddenly laughed,

"You are an archaeologist? What is an archaeologist?"

I don’t know why Su Jingmo asked such a question. Qin Cheng was going to explain, but he didn’t know how to explain it. Archaeology in ancient times was not a profession. Archaeology sometimes meant digging graves. Because ancient China was influenced by Confucianism, The digging of other people's ancestral graves is not allowed by Confucian morality. However, this type of person does exist, just like the family of tomb robbers from ancient times to the present, and some of them have legitimate archaeological identities now, such as Sima Qian, they are studying history, not prying coffins.

“…Archaeology is a job that studies history, culture, and famous people in ancient times, and excavations are carried out only with the permission of the state…”

"Official thief?"

"No... It's not the same." Although Qin Cheng didn't know the difference...

"What's the difference?" Su Jingmo sneered, "The robbery of tombs is just an excuse for permission, and it can't change the fact." Having said this, Su Jingmo didn't plan to go on. He was different then, and he didn't care about these things at this time...

"Forget it, since you are an 'archaeologist', you must know how many emperors' tombs are in this area, right?" They have an emperor's cemetery in Daxu, where almost all the emperors are buried.

Xi'an is a historical city. There are many tombs of emperors of various dynasties and generations near Xi'an. It is a place where the tombs of Chinese emperors are concentrated. In addition to the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, there are also the tombs of 11 emperors in the Western Han Dynasty and 18 emperors in the Tang Dynasty. It's just that in Ninghua Village, they really only found this cemetery.

"In this area, in addition to... your mausoleum..., there are also several accompanying burial pits. A mountain in the southeast called Shui Ze has been proven to be a mausoleum. It is close to your mausoleum. It is estimated that... it should be your Queen's Mausoleum. "

"The Mausoleum of the Empress?" Su Jingmo seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if he had heard something terrible. Su Jingmo looked at Tan Cheng and asked again, "You said... the Mausoleum of the Empress?"

"Yes..." Tan Cheng saw Su Jingmo's expression in his eyes, he hesitated for a while before slowly saying: "The southeast direction of the emperor's tomb is generally the queen's tomb, and the seniors who explored in previous years also dug from there. Bring out some things for women to be buried with. Except for the queen, no one can be buried in the southeast of your mausoleum."

Su Jingmo nodded, the archaeologist seemed to understand something, "The southeast should really be the Queen's Mausoleum."

Qin Cheng also understood that what Su Jingmo said just now must be ridiculous at what he said about the Queen's Mausoleum, which made Tan Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it? Isn't that the Queen's Mausoleum?"

"You said yes, that's it," Qin Cheng, who wanted to refute after hearing his words, said something else, Su Jingmo smiled, a little cynical, "I don't know when you archaeologists will be able to When I open the tomb, I really want to see who my 'Queen' is."

With a sound of 'Om-', Su Jingmo's obvious words made Qin Cheng's head explode in an instant.

What does he mean? Want to know who the queen is? That means…

"Don't you have a queen?!"

Qin Cheng, who said this, didn't notice the eagerness in his eyes at the moment,

Su Jingmo looked at Qin Cheng with a smile, and said after a while, "I didn't stand back... Are you happy?"

"Ah... No, no..." Qin Cheng said and looked away, "It's just a little strange, it stands to reason that you should have stood up sooner."

Su Jingmo glanced at Tan Cheng and said, "The queen is not established, but there are quite a few concubines. Maybe all my concubines are buried in the mausoleum."

Although it is not a wife, it is also possible that when he did not have a queen, the later emperor established one for him, and it may be buried there.

"I don't know if it's Concubine Yan from the Western Regions, or Concubine Su, a beauty from Suhang..."

The one who can leave a place in Su Jingmo's heart must be the concubine he loved and loved during his lifetime. Thinking of this, Qin Cheng's heart is suddenly a little unhappy.

Wanting to change the subject, Qin Cheng frowned and asked: "There is a burial pit for a thousand people in the west of this tomb. Almost all of these thousand people died. Are these your enemies?"

"Thousands of people are buried in the pit?" Qin Cheng's words made Su Jingmo change his face suddenly. Daxu didn't have the bloody practice of using slaves to be buried in distant countries. He couldn't have people buried with him after his death. The younger brother killed a thousand people to be buried with him... As for who to kill, Su Jingmo had already made up his mind.

Those must be his personal guards, close ministers...

"Qin Cheng... Would you like to make a deal with me?"
