We were sitting in a large commercial vehicle, with only seven of us and no outsiders. Wu Zhicong was driving in the front, and Huang Zhenmin was holding a flat map and placing it on a small table on the commercial vehicle. He pointed to the many red dots on the map and said, "There are many scientists and guards around the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. Try not to talk too much and just say you are from the archaeological team."
I looked at the map, but I couldn't really understand it. I just had a rough idea of the shape, so I asked Qin Qing next to me, "Qin Qing, where is the secret passage?"
Qin Qing took the map and looked at it carefully for about a minute. She asked Huang Zhenmin for a pen and made a small tick on the east side of the map. She said, "This is probably the place. Actually, it's not an entrance. It's impossible to make an entrance to this tomb. You all know that some tomb designers are used to making some exits for themselves. This is the exit they secretly built at that time, but they couldn't use it at that time. Qin Shihuang buried them alive and didn't let them starve to death in the mausoleum. So this tunnel was left. I didn't know about it by accident at that time."
"Well, it's already very difficult." Huang Zhenmin looked at this place for a while, shook his head and sighed, "I don't really know what this place is for. Although I've been here a few times before, we in the tomb-robbing industry actually have an unwritten rule." "
"Unwritten rules?"
We all looked at Huang Zhenmin in confusion. Huang Zhenmin nodded and said, "We just can't rob the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. For so many years, although the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is full of dangers, we tomb robbers are very brave. Although we are afraid of death, we are not afraid of anything when it comes to absolute interests. But the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is an exception. Although the country strictly prohibits tomb robbing, so many tombs are still robbed. This is actually a tacit approval of the Celestial Empire, because most of the antiques salvaged from the tombs now actually enter the country's cultural relics museums through some channels."
"But the Qin Mausoleum has been ordered by the state not to be robbed." Huang Zhenmin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Someone tried to rob the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum before, but they were caught by the state before they dug eight meters. You may have heard of this incident."
We all nodded subconsciously. I frowned and asked, "That's not right. Since the guards there are so strict, how can we get in? It's also difficult to get close."
"So this depends on wisdom." Huang Zhenmin smiled at us and took out a certificate from his bag. We gathered around to take a look. It said, Mr. Huang Zhenmin, a national first-class bachelor of archaeology...
"Oh, I didn't realize you still have this certificate." I laughed and sighed in my heart. It seems that now not only gangsters can wash themselves clean after reaching a certain level, but tomb robbers as well. Moreover, these tomb robbers have been robbing tombs for many years, and their vision in identifying antiques is not much worse than those so-called experts.
"As you can see, many archaeologists dig holes as deep as seven or eight meters to explore the geology below. I am no exception. I can dig holes there in the name of exploring the geology. I hope the hole that Miss Qin Qing mentioned is not too deep, because we are digging openly there, so we can't dig holes in the name of tomb robbing, and we can't dig too deep, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion."
Hanba, who was sitting next to him, snorted coldly and said, "Is it that troublesome? Just kill as many guards as there are."
Huang Zhenmin glanced at Hanba, shook his head and said, "I know you have some unique abilities, but the Celestial Empire's army is not jealous, and they also have strong combat power."
I actually wanted to tell Huang Zhenmin that Hanba had challenged an entire company of troops with heavy weapons, and finally escaped. I thought that the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum would only have a few policemen there, and with Master Hu San and his men there, there was nothing to be afraid of. However, Master Hu San nodded and said, "Just do as Huang Zhenmin said. Be careful. It's best not to be discovered when you go in."
I glanced at Master Hu San and frowned. Master Hu San was also looking out the window instead of inside the car. I always felt that Master Hu San seemed to have some secret when he went in, and he was now afraid that other people would know about it. Who was he afraid of
After getting in the car, Mr. Meng sat in the back with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking. Wu Zhicong was driving in the front and humming a little tune, Hanba was resting with his eyes closed, Qin Qing was listening to music on her mobile phone, and Huang Zhenmin was holding his map and studying something hard.
Looking at this team, there is no cohesion at all. They are the type that may break up at any time. They are not of one mind at all. They are the type that will push you to the front to block bullets when they see danger.
With each of us having our own thoughts, the car arrived at the foot of Mount Li at around six o'clock in the evening. Mount Li is quite high, with the highest altitude of more than 1,300 meters, which is considered a high mountain. The Mausoleum of Qin Emperor is at the foot of Mount Li. The car drove for a while and finally arrived at the legendary Mausoleum of Qin Emperor.
The Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is surrounded by some walls and some houses, and in the middle is a hillside about fifty or sixty meters high, with a circle of walls at the foot of the hillside.
"Follow me later. You are archaeologists now, so be careful with your words and actions." Huang Zhenmin gave the order after the car stopped, and then got out of the car first. I followed him. There was a big door where we parked. After Huang Zhenmin got out of the car, two guards walked out of the door and walked to Huang Zhenmin to ask questions. After Huang Zhenmin showed the two men the documents he had shown us before, the two men started talking on the walkie-talkie.
Huang Zhenmin came back and the six of us had already gotten off the car. Huang Zhenmin whispered, "Someone will come to pick us up later."
Sure enough, about five minutes later, a fat man who looked to be in his forties walked out of the door. This fat man was frighteningly fat. As soon as he came out, Huang Zhenmin hurriedly walked up to him and said with a smile: "Director Li, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time. Our research task this time is very heavy, so we have to start work tonight."
Director Li nodded, grinned and said, "Brother Huang, you are too polite. Come on, you haven't eaten yet? Come in and eat first, then we can talk." Then he pulled Huang Zhenmin inside, and the two guards also returned to their posts.
We followed Huang Zhenmin inside. There was only a small wooden room inside the wall. After Director Li led us in, his expression became less official. He said, "Brothers, please sit wherever you want. Old Huang, you have to think about this job."
