Chapter 15 Section 14 Tomb Robber

Chu Feng was woken up by dogs barking in the middle of the night. There is a custom of raising dogs in rural areas of Xinjiang. Now for some reason, the dogs in the whole village are barking wildly.Chu Feng got up and listened quietly for a while, and heard the sound of car motors, and there were more than one car, and the sound was getting farther and farther away. It seemed that they had left the village. Xiao Wang also woke up. He also heard the sound of dogs barking and cars passing by, and exclaimed: "Oops! It's them!" Chu Feng understood, this is the group of arrogant tomb robbers that Xiao Wang mentioned!

You can't see it in the dark, but Xiao Wang's face must be ugly. Chu Feng stopped him from turning on the light, and said quietly: "Don't move, don't startle the snake! Call!" Xiao Wang hurriedly called Sangbu and his teammates, but he couldn't get in touch!The archaeological team is in the wild, and there is no signal at all. "What should I do?!" Xiao Wang was anxious, and wished he could drive back to report to the captain now, so that his teammates would be more prepared. Chu Feng secretly analyzed in his heart: Sang Bu must have expected that there would be a tomb robber, and he had already taken precautions.However, this group of people might still have left some guards in the village. As long as Chu Feng and the others move, that group will know that there is an archaeological team in the village.If this group of people changed places because of this, there is nowhere to look for it!There are people who catch thieves, but there is no reason to guard against thieves all day long.It would be better if the group of tomb robbers didn't know that they lived in the same village——

He whispered something in Xiao Wang's ear, Xiao Wang was gradually persuaded by him, and after calling the police in a low voice, he continued to lie back under the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy anymore. "Professor Chu, tell me, do these people know that we are in the village?" Xiao Wang was worried that someone would see him when he drove into the village in the afternoon. The place is not big, but there are many people who saw them.Two Han people suddenly appeared in a village full of Uyghurs, and even a fool knew it was wrong! In fact, Chu Feng had no idea. He even wondered if the village chief knew about the fact that these people were hiding in the village, or if they belonged to them.But he still wanted to give Xiao Wang confidence: "Probably not. There are a lot of pilgrims and tourists in this village. Even if they see us, they will only regard us as tourists. It should not arouse their vigilance."

Xiao Wang is at ease.He was very afraid that he would go to Team Sang tomorrow and see a mess, but he would be unable to do anything in front of his eyes. He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep, and he didn't want to talk anymore, which disturbed Chu Feng's rest, and he tossed and turned there on his own. In fact, Chu Feng couldn't fall asleep either. Seeing him like this, he knew it would be better to have a chat, so he asked in a low voice, "Uh, Xiao Wang, have you encountered this group of people head-on before?" Xiao Wang heard what Chu Feng meant, and he was eager to chat to pass the time: "No, these people are all desperadoes, and we dare not pursue them without the cooperation of the police. Team Sang said that they might have guns in their hands, let us Let's not go head-to-head with them."

"Oh, they still have guns? Didn't hurt any of you?" "No, they still know how to measure, and they have never hurt our people." "When did this group of people come out?" "Well, it's been several years, let me think about it, about six or seven years!" Chu Feng was shocked when he heard this. A group of tomb robbers have been rampant for six or seven years, but they haven't been defeated yet?It's ridiculous! "Did the public security organs not crack down?" "Fight it, I have chased it several times. Didn't I say that the best result is to capture the car. They saw that the momentum was wrong, so they abandoned the car early and scattered into the Gobi Desert. Where can they find it?"

Chu Feng had also been on duty in the Gobi Desert. He knew that the police chased people on the Gobi Desert by identifying tire tracks. If the thief abandoned the car and fled early, it would be difficult to find them. "You can cast a net to search, but you can't find it like this?" Xiao Wang smiled wryly: "I searched, but I couldn't find it twice! They abandoned the car early, and by the time we found the car, the fuel tank was already cold. Even if we walked on two legs, the distance in the radius was too large." I went there, and I cooperated in both searches, and I didn’t see a single person.”

This is strange!Chu Feng thought to himself, could this group of people be able to go to heaven and earth? Seeing that Xiao Wang couldn't figure out the reason for this matter, Chu Feng changed the topic: "Xiao Wang, how are you Captain Sang?" "That's nothing to say! Captain Sang, he..." "How did I hear that he has a bad temper?" ... Time passed in this conversation, and slowly, the sky began to turn white. Chu Feng and the others couldn't bear it anymore, got up quickly, declined the village chief's kindness to stay for breakfast, and went straight to the excavation site.

When we arrived at the scene, we found that most of the team members hadn't gotten up yet, and Sambu was brushing his teeth. "Team Sang, come here!" Xiao Wang greeted Captain Sangbu first, and motioned him to go to the nearby tent.Seeing the expressions of these two people, Sangbu knew that they had something to say. After entering the tent, after hearing what Xiao Wang said, Sangbu jumped up suddenly: "You boy, why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao Wang didn't dare to face the captain's anger alone, so he quickly told Chu Feng's idea in the middle of the night.After hearing this, Sangbu looked at Chu Feng. Chu Feng didn't know whether his idea would work, so he smiled wryly.Sambu knew that this was already the best way. After all, the archaeologists were not policemen. If they encountered these desperadoes directly, the consequences would be disastrous.He pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and asked Xiao Wang to start the car.

Chu Feng followed Xiao Wang to the car, saw Sang Bu explaining something to the team members from a distance, and walked towards this side. Xiao Wang was driving a Mitsubishi off-road vehicle that could seat five people, but as soon as Captain Sambu got into the car, the other two suddenly felt a little stuffy inside the car. Xiao Wang lowered the car window a little, and drove around the construction site in circles.Sure enough, behind a hill with a construction site behind them, they saw an infuriating scene. On the desolate Gobi Desert, human bones can be seen everywhere, and most of them were scattered randomly, and a large number of colorful coffin boards with exquisite patterns were randomly split, and they were used for heating together with the mummy in the tomb fuel.At the bottom of the hill, there were several deep holes that were blasted by explosives. It seemed that these bones were dragged out of those holes.

The whole scene can be described as horrible. Sangbu looked at everything in front of him, and with a "thump", the blood in his whole body seemed to rush to his head! Xiao Wang entered the cave and came out soon.He found nothing but a horn grate dropped in a corner and a piece of painted sackcloth dug out of a mound.Chu Feng carefully observed the bones at his feet, and found that there was still a small piece of brocade stuck to the inner joint of this hand bone. "It seems that this corpse should be wrapped in brocade and stripped away." Chu Feng said his judgment, looked up, and saw Sang Bu's face was livid, his fists were clenched, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes It seemed to spew fire.

Wang Cong was about to report the situation at this time, seeing the captain like this, he was so frightened that he swallowed the words that came to his lips. Sangbu saw the kid's expression from the corner of his eyes, and squeezed out a word between his teeth: "Say!" "The inside is already empty, but judging from the traces of the tomb, it should be a Han tomb!" "What?" This time, even Chu Feng was surprised.You know, this Han tomb does not refer to the tomb of the Han people, but the tomb of the Han people.The burial custom of the Han Dynasty was prevalent, and there were usually a lot of burial objects. These people dug casually and found Han tombs. Why is it not surprising?Is this group of people really lucky, or is there some expert pointing them out? "Is there a burial pit?" Sangbu knew something was wrong, but he still had a glimmer of hope. "Yes, they also dug it up, and took everything away! Only these were found." Xiao Wang also said bitterly, and took out the ox horn grate and the piece of painted linen he found. Sangbu took the things, turned around and walked back without saying a word. Xiao Wang quickly followed. Judging from the scale of this cemetery, the owner of this tomb must have had a very important position in the Western Regions back then. If his identity and origin can be determined, it is completely possible to examine the relationship between the Central Plains and the Western Regions during his lifetime. What is the state of domination?Maybe it can solve some difficult historical problems, but now, this tomb has been destroyed by these nasty tomb robbers in such a way that nothing can be seen!Therefore, it is no wonder that Sambu now has a face of cannibalism. When Chu Feng and the others returned to the camp, the police also arrived.Two cars came. They went to the site to have a look, and then investigated the construction site. Maybe they felt that the situation was serious, so they quickly sent a car back to report and dispatched manpower. At this time, those Uyghur farmers and Han migrant workers all came, and under the command of the archaeological team, they excavated in many places.The work done by the migrant workers is only the roughest work. When they dig to a certain extent, the archaeologists will have to come in person.If you really found an important clue, you should use a thin brush to brush it lightly. Although the progress was slow at that time, it was a time for work, and no one dared to neglect it. Yesterday’s vertical burial entrance has been reopened, and a thin team member was hoisted down. Soon, he came up and reported to Sangbu: “I can’t go down! Captain, there is a boulder blocking it!” boulder?Sangbu's mood was already very bad, and it got worse when he heard the news, so he ordered to continue digging. The owner of this tomb also seemed to be deliberately obstructive, and the stones appeared one after another, all of which were 70 centimeters wide and more than 1 meter long.It was not easy to get them out. As a result, everyone seemed to be exhausted with stones on this day. Five stones have been found out, and there are still stones at the bottom of the tomb. Fortunately, the excavation of the tomb passage over there has made gratifying progress, otherwise, everyone on the construction site will have a hard time these few days. The team member who came to report the news was named Xu Yuanwen, a very elegant name, but his appearance was not elegant.But it’s no wonder that archeology in the field is exposed to the wind and sun every day, especially in the Gobi Desert and deserts in Xinjiang, where ultraviolet rays are strong. All of these team members are dark and thin, so naturally no one can be elegant. He happily ran to Sangbu and told Sangbu that he had dug the door of the tomb. Sangbu quickly followed him there, and Chu Feng also followed. It was a stone gate, and the stone gate was engraved with "(cross)" symbols, and there was also a word engraved on the top of the stone gate. When Chu Feng saw the symbol, his expression changed, and he exclaimed: "This, this is not—" "Yes, this is the symbol of the Loulan people!" Sangbu said next to him. He has been doing archaeology in Xinjiang for so many years, and he has dealt with the ancient Loulan country a lot. Judging from the cultural relics unearthed in Loulan, the Loulan people seem to like this symbol very much. This "(cross)" symbol is not only engraved on rock paintings, but also decorated with straw sandals, blankets, wood carvings and so on.In the ancient city of Loulan discovered by Sven Heding, a lacquer cup completely in the style of Chu people was unearthed, with this symbol on the cup lid. "More than that, it's not just a symbol of the Loulan people. My teacher and I have studied it before. In addition to appearing in the Loulan area, it also appeared in the Central Plains area. This symbol even existed in ancient times in the West. Now ancient characters Or the world of characters has determined that this is a symbol of shamanism!" Chu Feng held a magnifying glass and explained to Sangbu while observing it carefully. "Oh, is the thing with this symbol unearthed in the Central Plains two miniature clam carvings?" Sangbu asked. "Hehe! You know it too, that's right!" Chu Feng no longer had the mood to speak.He can already confirm that the writing should be in the Kanlu language. "The facial features of the clam carvings don't look like people from the Yellow River Basin." Sang Bu was nervous for some reason, and just wanted to talk about other topics to distract himself. "Yes, those are the two carved figures with characteristics of the Europa race. I said, Captain Sang, I need to concentrate now!" Chu Feng finally got a little impatient.When Sangbu heard this, he was embarrassed immediately. At this time, Chu Feng had opened the notebook he carried with him, and there was a list of Khalu characters made by himself in it, which was the result of his painstaking research in the early years.At present, there is only one way to translate the Kalu language in the world, first translate into Latin, and then translate into other languages.He has already found the Latin script table corresponding to nearly 3,000 Khalu characters. The existence of this word table allows him to quickly decipher the two lines of Khalu script on the stone gate. "This is the resting place of the great Loulan King. Offenders will be punished most severely!" Chu Feng read the translated text, and the expression on Sang Bu's face changed immediately. "Are you sure? This is really the tomb of King Loulan?"
