    The next morning, O'Connor and his party arrived at the construction site at the foot of Lishan Mountain, which had been protected by Feng Yuxiang. The British Council in Wuhan sent someone to contact Feng Yuxiang. Yan Xiangwen suddenly died not long after he served as the governor of Shaanxi.  He committed suicide, and Feng Yuxiang, commander of the 11th Division of the Zhili Army, took over as the governor of Shaanxi.

    Feng Yuxiang was the military leader of the Beiyang warlords in Shaanxi. When he met with O'Connor and others at the governor's house in Shaanxi, he wore a soldier's uniform. Because he was a soldier, he always liked to look hard and simple, but he was also  He is a devout Christian, and even wears a cross on his chest when meeting foreign "believers", which looks nondescript.

    In fact, at this time, belief in Christianity became a trend in China. The warlords were proud of their belief in Christianity. If you think about it more deeply, they were just trying to curry favor with foreigners. In the melee of Chinese warlords, foreigners spoke more effectively than the Beiyang President.

    Not to mention anything else, if the British can loosen their money and give Feng Yuxiang arms and loans with a few cents cheaper interest, it will be worth fawning over him.

    Feng Yuxiang entertained foreign "archaeologists" with great enthusiasm. He diligently invited O'Connor and Laura to pray in the chapel at his home. In the name of discussing doctrine and the Bible, he and  These foreigners became familiar with each other.

    Although Britain suffered a heavy blow at this time, firstly, Feng Yuxiang may not know it. Secondly, even if Feng Yuxiang knew it, the British Empire still had a certain amount of wealth. Neither the French nor the Germans dared to look down on Great Britain, which controlled sea power.  What about Chinese warlords?  Although the British family business has failed, it is still nobler than the lower class yellow people. This is what O'Connor and others think.

    In their view, only Europeans have culture and civilization, and Christianity is a universal value. The British are first-class civilized people, the Europeans are second-class civilized people, the Americans are low-class civilized people, and the Japanese are civilized barbarians.  , and the Chinese are at best better than those African natives, who are semi-civilized barbarians, while the religious Chinese are a fully civilized breed among civilized barbarians, and are nobler than others.

    So when Feng Yuxiang revealed his identity as a believer, they still had some high regard and good impression.

    But when the two sides discussed the specific division of interests, this good impression was immediately thrown away. The British deputy director who led the way looked cold and said with a hint of command: "We ask the Beiyang side to come forward to protect our archaeological sites."  team, and suppress local thieves and rebels, and facilitate our activities here as much as possible."

    Feng Yuxiang laughed and said: "We must protect your country's legitimate interests, but we cannot betray China's interestsright? Now on the streets, your archaeological activities have a very bad reputation! Qin Shihuang is China's  A great emperor, his mausoleum is also an important property and treasure of the Chinese government. If your country forcibly takes over its archaeological activities, I am afraid it will set off a controversy in public opinion that is unfavorable to Britain. You must know that there are also those rebels in the south.  The party is at work.¡±

    "If we in Beiyang give in to Britain! Those rebel parties in the south will definitely besiege Beiyang in terms of public opinion. The cultural and educational circles will also strongly oppose this infringement of Chinese treasures and the reselling of Chinese cultural relics"

    The deputy director's eyes turned cold and he said calmly: "The British government has no intention of stealing Chinese cultural relics" As soon as he said this, Feng Yuxiang cursed in his heart: "You are a liar! More than ten years ago, Gansu Dunhuang Scriptures  It seems like they are not on display in your British Museum? Are there so many treasures in the China Pavilion given to you by the Chinese people?"

    " But with all due respect, the Chinese government does not have the conditions for the excavation and preservation of cultural relics. Your country has no archeology at all. Your country's history and culture can only be recognized and recognized by the international academic community under the development and protection of the United Kingdom.  The results of the recognition, left to you, will only cause these precious cultural relics to flow into the international cultural relics market, causing inevitable damage and loss."

    "This archaeological operation is of great importance. As for our country, we hope to have a battalion of embassy escort troops to protect our country's archaeologists at the archaeological site and work normally. We also need General Feng to provide reasonable assistance, such as guides and excavation workers.  For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, General Feng should carefully consider our suggestions."

    In order to force Feng Yuxiang to agree in the shortest possible time, the deputy director had to violate the British diplomatic community's always exquisite trouble-making tactics and use hard threats to make Feng Yuxiang relent. Sure enough, when the deputy director's tone implied threats, Feng Yuxiang, despite his face,  It was ugly, but I still agreed to all the British demands.

    The deputy consul knew that they could just leave the matter of paying off benefits to Feng Yuxiang to themselves. The top priority now was to get O'Connor and others to start work.

    ComeArriving at the foot of Lishan Mountain, Laura saw an orderly excavation site. Laura was surprised to see a few people wearing hemp shoes and dressed as 'local masters' inserting a semi-cylindrical shovel into the ground.  , the leader of the group, the old man, had gray hair and still had the whip of Qianqing. He put his braid on his head and carefully looked at the soil he brought up.

    O¡¯Connor walked behind Laura and asked in surprise: ¡°What are these Chinese people doing?¡±

    "Shh!" Laura interrupted him and whispered: "I have heard from archaeological documents that Chinese archaeologists mentioned that Chinese explorers and tomb robbers used a tool called the 'Luoyang shovel'  Using archaeological tools, they bring out soil dozens of feet deep into the ground for analysis and inspection, and they look at the color and smell of the soil to determine its age, geological characteristics and burial seals."

    ¡°Experienced Chinese explorers can even use them to determine whether someone excavated this land on a large scale hundreds of years ago.¡±

    "It's really amazing!" Laura exclaimed.

    "The art of Kanyu is to taste the water first" The gray-haired old man whispered to Chen Yulou next to him: "I have tasted seventeen ancient wells around me, and I am sure that the water here has a soft and sweet taste, with a hint of sweetness.  Three parts gold water and seven parts silver water, it can be said to be long-lasting wealth. And it is similar to the soil, weighing eight taels, which is auspicious."

    "Then why is Mr. frowning so often?" Chen Yulou asked puzzledly.

    "It's the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel. It's very strange! I have already explored the upper layer of the sealing soil of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, but if it is true according to what I have discovered, the Qin Emperor's tomb is 12,000 steps back from here and three to the left and right.  Within 10,000 steps, there are traces of sealing mud. Moreover, the top layer of sealing soil is green and black, which is Yangqing mud. Yangqing mud often appears in the tombs of the Warring States Period."

    "But I have only seen Yangqing clay of this color in a Qin noble tomb that I visited in the early years. Your father was still the leader at that time. He led us to discover this large tomb at the foot of Saga Mountain. At that time, we  I noticed the strangeness of the copper-colored sealing soil, and later when we opened the hole in the sealing soil, something unimaginable and horrific happened."

    "Later we learned that this kind of copper-colored Yangqing clay is also called 'Zhelong soil'. This kind of Yangqing clay needs to be mixed with human blood and pounded together with the Yangqing clay excavated from ancient tombs.  The earthen balls should weigh ninety-two-nine cents, mixed with the eggs of insects and foreign objects, and poured into the outer layer of the tomb's sealing soil."

    "There are eight kinds of Gu insect eggs mixed into the Hidden Dragon soil. In addition, eggs of alien insects called worms are added. The worms hatch in the wind. After the sealing soil is covered, if it is more than three feet deep, there will be underground shade.  If the water is nourished by the spring, the worms in the sealed soil will slowly lay eggs and die. This kind of worm has a very peculiar character and needs to parasitize on the worms to reproduce. The adults need to parasitize on the worms in order to use the worms to lay eggs. Then  Sometimes the eggs laid by the voodoo worms will carry the voodoo worm eggs and the worm worm eggs. The worms hatched together with the worms will parasitize the next generation of worms in the shortest possible time. In order to allow oneself to reproduce by parasitizing the worms  , the worms will secrete a colloid like propolis before death to protect the worm eggs. When they become adults, they have to face the wind to grow wings."

    "So the first batch of hatched worm eggs and the grown worms will protect the worm eggs in the soil and then die because they cannot see the wind, while the eggs they parasitize can be kept for thousands of years without losing their  Vitality. Only when the wind blows, will the secretions protecting the voodoo disappear, prompting the voodoo to hatch."

    The old man sighed: "When we robbed the tomb of a noble from the Qin Kingdom, we excavated the sealing soil and let the two thousand-year-old poisonous insect eggs inside exposed to the wind, and they rotted into countless poisonous insects as fine as dust. Unknowingly, they became parasitic.  It's in our bodies." As he spoke, the old man carefully smashed the bronze sealing soil brought up by the Luoyang shovel and showed it to Chen Yulou.

    Some large ones, as big as sesame seeds, and small ones that were barely visible were shaken off from the sealed soil.

    Chen Yulou's face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "So there is this sealing soil underground for about a few feet of our feet? So if you dig a robbery hole, how big of a patch of sealing soil will the Gu insects resurrect?"

    The old man thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "As the wind blows in the Thief Cave, it will probably disturb the Gu insects in the surrounding area."

    "These Gu insects like yin and hate Yang, and will not normally appear on the ground where the sun shines, but they will soon be everywhere in the Robber's Cave. When we get into the Robber's Cave, it is like entering a worm cave, from digging to stinging  Starting from the dragon soil, it only takes three moments for the Gu insects to revive and breed. The larger the area dug, the more Gu insects will be disturbed."

    "This is the first level of defense of the First Emperor's mausoleum!" Chen Yulou sighed: "With the talent of the First Emperor, I don't know how many dangers there will be if we go here"

    O'Connor looked at the people in Luoyang who were staring blankly at his feet, and sneered: "I don't think we need to look forward to those Chinese people. They are ignorant and lazy uncivilized people We don't have much time, we have to hurry up.  Excavate the Dragon Emperor's coffin and prevent those Easterners from resurrecting him."

    Laura objected: "I think we should listen to the opinions of local explorers"

    "Listen to them, we won't be able to excavate the main tomb chamber in a year!" O'Connor left here without looking back and walked towards the tent set up at the site. He was going to discuss it with the supervisor here and follow his instructions.  Comments speed up progress.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)We must quickly dig out the Dragon Emperor's coffin and prevent those Easterners from resurrecting him.  "
