Actually, he also had a selfish motive, which was to take Ye Fan as his disciple. Although it was only the first time he met Ye Fan today and they did not talk much, he could tell that Ye Fan's knowledge was also very complicated and was not much worse than his.
In his opinion, what Ye Fan lacked now was only training and experience. As long as he followed by his side, he would definitely have a place in the archaeology world after a few years of training.
"Uncle Li, thank you. It's just that I'm used to being lazy. If I have to stay in places like the Cultural Relics Bureau and the museum all day, I can't stand it.”Ye Fan rejected tactfully.
Although he was rejected, Li Luo was not angry.""Ye Fan, think about it first. Don't be in a hurry to reject. Uncle Li's door will always be open for you.”
"Okay, I understand, Uncle Li. I'll look for you when I've thought it through.”Ye Fan could only brush it off.
Li Luo naturally knew that Ye Fan was just giving a perfunctory excuse. He could only secretly feel that it was a pity. Before he saw Ye Fan, Cheng Qingyu told him in detail about Ye Bushi San.
At first, Li Luo only felt that Ye Fan had some ability and did not think too deeply about it. However, after meeting Ye Fan today, he realized that he was extraordinary and could not help but love him.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Li Luo finally couldn't take it anymore. No matter what, Li Luo was almost 60 years old. He couldn't stay in this place with poor ventilation for too long.
He took out a black vacuum bag from his backpack and put the Nine Dragons and Phoenix Painting inside. Then, he took out an air pump to drain the air. The vacuum bag was made of cotton and had a layer of sponge attached to the outside of the plastic.
The advantage of this vacuum bag was that after the air was sucked out, the surface of the sponge would not dry up too much. Therefore, when things were placed inside, others would not be able to identify what was inside by its shape.
After the air was sucked dry, Li Luo took out a special sealing tape from his backpack. As long as the sealing tape was used to seal the opening, there was no way to open it unless the vacuum bag was forcefully destroyed.
"Alright, let's go out." Li Luo was already drenched in sweat and couldn't stand the heat.
When he and Ye Fan went out, he did not forget to put a metal ball in the place where he had just dug.
"Uncle Li, what is that metal ball?”Ye Fan asked curiously. This time, he was not hiding his skills, but he really did not recognize that thing.
"It's a metal detector. Didn't you suspect that the Nine Dragons Painted Phoenix was buried in a specific order? I buried the metal detector at the place where the Nine Dragons Painted Phoenix was dug out as a mark.”Li Luo said as he walked.
When digging a tomb, all the soil on the surface had to be dug up, turning the sealed tomb into a huge pit that could leak through the sky. Only then could the cultural relics be excavated.
However, during the construction, it was inevitable that some places would be buried in the soil. In order to prevent the location of the Nine Dragons and Phoenix Painting from being found during the excavation, Li Luo used a metal detector as a marker.
Walking out of the tomb, Li Luo took a deep breath. His clothes were already soaked in sweat and were dripping onto the ground.
"Little Yang, how are your preparations?”As soon as he came out, Li Luo went to Yang Yu and asked him before he could rest.
Yang Yu glanced at the vacuum bag in Li Luo's hand. Although he was curious, he did not ask much. He handed Li Luo a towel to wipe his sweat and said,"It's about time. The results will be out in about half an hour.”
"Alright, then I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to rest for a while. I almost suffocated to death inside.”Li Luo wiped his body with a towel, then wrung the towel until he was sweating.
Yang Yu nodded with a smile and continued to set up the equipment with the other team members, preparing to start the exploration.
The first thing they had to investigate was how many meters each part of the cemetery was below the ground. The most commonly used method to investigate was something called the Luoyang shovel.
When Ye Fan came out of the tomb, he saw that Yang Yu and the others had already set up the Luoyang shovel and were ready to explore. The Luoyang shovel was different from the small shovels that he usually saw. Its shovel surface was semi-cylindrical, and it could be connected to the extension rod using a threaded connection method at the shaft. It could not continuously penetrate deep into the ground.
Because of the special shape of the shovel, the Luoyang shovel could bring up the soil from the ground, making it an indispensable tool for archaeological teams.
Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw Li Luo return to the car with the vacuum bag containing the Nine Dragons and Phoenix Painting.
However, he also knew that the item did not belong to him, so it was pointless to think about it.
While he was in a daze, Cheng Qingyu had already walked over and tugged at Ye Fan's sweat-soaked clothes."You're drenched. Aiya, it's disgusting.”
She pursed her lips helplessly and replied,"If you go in for a while, you will also become like this."”
After saying that, Ye Fan recalled the scene after he came out of the tomb with Cheng Qingyu yesterday. He couldn't help but lick his lips."You just came out of the tomb yesterday. It was indeed very pleasing to the eye. Why don't you go in and stay for a while?”
"You…baddie." Cheng Qingyu's face turned red in an instant. He reached out to twist Ye Fan's waist, but Ye Fan dodged him.
"Did I offend you?" Ye Fan did not know why Cheng Qingyu was always willing to come and cause trouble for him.
If Cheng Qingyu knew that Ye Fan was thinking about this, she would definitely go berserk. If Ye Fan did not put on a lecherous look, she...
"Scoundrel, go play by yourself. I'll go find Uncle Li.”Cheng Qingyu wrinkled his nose and ran to the car to look for Li Luo.
Seeing Cheng Qingyu leave from his side, Ye Fan felt a little relaxed in his heart. He walked towards Yang Yu indifferently.
"Big Brother Yang, I'll just watch for a while, is it okay?”Ye Fan said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's not some confidential technology.”Yang Yu said in pain.
Yang Yu had a straightforward personality and said whatever he wanted. Although he could easily offend people this way, he could also make a lot of friends.
"Haha, have you ever seen a tomb being excavated before?”Yang Yu asked with a smile.
Ye Fan shook his head and looked at the other archaeologists who were busy. He said,"I haven't seen it, but I know that it's called the Luoyang shovel.”
He pointed at the Luoyang shovel that had already started working.
"Then do you know the origin of the Luoyang shovel?”Yang Yu puffed out his chest after saying that, looking as if he knew nothing about it.
Ye Fan couldn't help but want to laugh out loud in his heart, but he said,"Oh? I really don't know the origin of the Luoyang shovel.”
Hearing Ye Fan's answer, Yang Yu laughed and pulled Ye Fan to explain the origin of this Luoyang shovel. It turned out that this Luoyang shovel was actually invented by a bun seller in the Ming Dynasty.
One day, the man used a homemade shovel to dig a small hole in front of the door. Coincidentally, he was seen by a grave robber. His years of experience in grave robbing told him that this small shovel was definitely a weapon for grave robbing.
After that, he humbly asked for advice on how to make a bun with a shovel. Later on, the Luoyang shovel was born.
"Haha, the origin of this Luoyang shovel actually has such an interesting story.”Ye Fan could not help but laugh.
