With the deepening of the excavation work, portrait stones appeared, burial jades appeared, and the most powerful evidence of previous excavation and certification work, the inscribed stone tablet with the three characters "Wei Wuwang" appeared...
At this point, the cultural relics storage room that had been set up before finally had some decent collections, and then a group of special security personnel ushered in. The entrance of the tomb and other places began to be heavily guarded.
The local public security organ took advantage of this opportunity to highlight their political achievements and performance in front of the people of the whole country, and launched a special operation, arresting 14 "tomb robbers"... Xu Tingsheng remembered the number from his previous life, which was probably close to 40.
At the same time, the archaeological team also held the first press conference since the start of the excavation work at the request of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
At the press conference, Yan Zhenyu gave a detailed introduction to the excavation work, including the current progress, discoveries, and verification of the identity of the owner of the tomb, and accepted interviews from relevant media.
This was his turnaround, but the counterattack was louder than expected.
Let’s ignore the doubtful voices from netizens. Most of them are people venting their emotions because their expectations have not been met. The really sharp and difficult voices come from the historian circle.
There are also many voices of doubt in the historical circles of previous lives, and the coping strategies of the archaeological team are actually rather rogue, either simply ignoring them, or responding with a general sentence-"The doubts of non-archaeologists lack professionalism, laymen pretend to be experts, academic problems Entertaining."
This logic first strictly separates the history and archeology professions, and even separates them, and then the meaning is probably... You don’t understand, I’m too lazy to tell you.
Xu Tingsheng took this as a suggestion to Yan Zhenyu, thinking that this way he could actually pass the test. But Yan Zhenyu refused. The old man was very determined. To put it more plainly, he decided to "resent" him head-on.
There are many doubters, and the archaeological team also has its own team strength and supporting scholars. The process of the debate is fierce.
In the meantime, some doubters brought up the old story again, listing Yan Zhenyu's behavior and speech during that period of time, as well as some so-called works, saying that he was a person who betrayed the academic spirit, and such a person is not worthy of trust.
This is already at the level of personal attacks, and it is said that it does not conform to the spirit of discussing the facts, but... the majority of netizens like to listen to it the most, and they like to believe it the most, and it is easy to have a collective orgasm.
In such a network environment, Yan Zhenyu is in a very disadvantageous position, and the archaeological team needs stronger evidence to fight back.
The excavation progress began to speed up, professional archaeologists increased, and Xu Tingsheng could do less and less. Although he had a pass, he almost never entered the underground palace because he couldn't get his hands in.
Besides, there was one more thing he couldn't tell anyone, and that was—in fact, he didn't know whether this was Cao Cao's tomb or not. In other words, Xu Tingsheng is not a doubter, but he is not a staunch supporter either, just as a fan of the previous life.
This made Xu Tingsheng very uneasy.
He has entered into a new routine. He usually wakes up in the morning, holds a morning meeting with the relevant departments of the Stars through video, and then rests all morning. , while paying attention to the progress of the excavation work.
…
The cultural relics storage room was not allowed to enter, and it was extremely boring. Xu Tingsheng sat on the soil slope, facing the sun, playing with the imitation Warring States bronze mirror that Yan Zhenyu gave him.
Holding the mirror in his palm, and using the mirror to reflect the afterglow of the setting sun in all directions, Xu Tingsheng suddenly became childish, like a child playing a game of mirroring a demon, looking at it while saying: "Monster, show yourself... Monster, where is it?" escape."
The beam of light suddenly shone on the face of the girl who was approaching, Xu Ting was a little embarrassed.
Wu Yuewei raised her hand to block the beam of light entering her eyes, put it down, then glanced at Xu Tingsheng, who was rarely mischievous, and asked with a smile: "Senior, did the light come out? What did I turn into a monster?"
Xu Tingsheng smiled awkwardly and said, "You are not a monster."
"Maybe it was in my previous life, and I did a lot of bad things."
"It wasn't in your last life either. You were as good then as you are now."
"Huh?" Wu Yuewei raised her camera and took a picture of Xu Tingsheng, using the barren slopes and villages behind him as the background, and continued with a smile, "Have you seen my previous life, senior? We also knew each other back then?"
"Yes. I am also your senior." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Then did I like you the same in my previous life?"
Xu Tingsheng didn't answer, Wu Yuewei walked closer and said: "Tomorrow I will return to Yanjing, and another team member will come... According to the progress of the excavation, I don't think I will come again..."
"… Um."
"This period of time is like high school," Wu Yuewei said, looking at the sunset in the distance, "We are in the same place, meeting and talking occasionally, and doing our own things most of the time. It's just like that, but I like this period of time .Because I don’t feel as tired as I did later.”
"I understand what the senior said that day. The most important thing is that time can't keep it, right? Times have changed, what an irritating word, but you have to accept it after all."
"I've made up my mind, I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and I want to go abroad... So, the next time we meet, maybe it will be the wedding of the senior and Xiang Ning." Wu Yuewei said, "Will the senior walk with me today?"
Xu Tingsheng nodded and said, "Okay."
The two walked towards the barren slope, Wu Yuewei occasionally raised the camera to take a picture of the surrounding scenery, with a gentle smile and a calm face under the setting sun.
Accidentally touched by a thought, Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to continue the topic just now, saying: "The question you just asked... It seems that you also liked me in your previous life."
"Um?"
"I had a dream," Xu Tingsheng said, "The timeline of that dream was longer than this life, and my life was on another track, so I simply regarded it as a past life..."
Wu Yuewei stopped, turned her head to look at him, "So in that dream of yours, did it have the same result in the end?"
Xu Tingsheng didn't say the result, but said: "In the dream until I was in my third year of high school, everything was the same."
Wu Yuewei showed a look of reminiscence, "That is to say, you still only liked me for a while? Then you regretted it?"
"No, in fact, I think it's just the age when we met. Your best time is also the time I should cherish the most... I'm not sensible yet. And then..."
"Later, did you become sensible?" Wu Yuewei's eyes were full of hope, even if it was just a dream, or a story that was far away and could not be recovered.
"Maybe, but the world has changed, people get together and people disperse... We didn't see each other again for many, many years. And I... I once lost my direction and hope in life. It seems that I heard during that time that you once inquired about me .”
"Didn't we meet all this time?" Wu Yuewei seemed to take it seriously, a little in disbelief.
Xu Tingsheng hesitated for a moment, "It's already your wedding when we meet again. I didn't know the bride was you until I arrived. You only found out... I was there by accident. You called me senior and toasted me with a glass of wine alone."
"… Then what?"
"Then you got drunk," Xu Tingsheng said casually, "You don't know how to drink."
"Oh..." Wu Yuewei said, "But I don't like this story at all."
