2019 China's Changde archaeological site!
With a violent shaking sound, the Dragon Breaking Stone that sealed the tomb of the Spring and Autumn Tomb, which was in a protective excavation state, collapsed with a bang.
It directly exposed a tomb that took up several square meters in front of the archaeologists!
Professor Murong and the local archaeologist were shocked.
After bringing his equipment, he quickly went into the pit and prepared to investigate.
Although Professor Murong was old, he had dedicated his entire life to archaeology.
At this moment, the main chamber of the tomb suddenly opened. He was the first to bear the brunt and walked at the front of the team.
"Rongrong, just now when you were under the tomb, what exactly happened? Why did the Broken Dragon Rock, which has not decayed for ten thousand years, suddenly collapse?”
The person Professor Murong called Rongrong was the female assistant who had exclaimed in the communicator earlier. Her full name was Hu Rong.
She was Professor Murong's student and had just graduated from Xi'an University's archaeology department.
She was at her most youthful and energetic age. She was good-looking, and several men in the team had expressed their desire to pursue her.
However, like Professor Murong, she was only interested in old things. All the men were rejected.
Hu Rong thought about it carefully and finally shook her head helplessly.
" Professor, we didn't find anything unusual. Before the Broken Dragon Stone Gate collapsed, there was no obvious sign of movement in the earth's crust. This stone gate seemed to come alive. Without any warning, it suddenly collapsed on its own.”
It suddenly collapsed?
Professor Murong believed Hu Rong's words.
Because she was his most capable assistant, he nodded slowly and said,"Got it. How's the cleaning up going? Did we successfully enter the main tomb?"
"Sure!"
Hu Rong said," The rubble around the main tomb has basically been cleaned up. Moreover, after some investigation, we can guarantee that there won't be a chain reaction of the tomb collapsing. We can enter now."”
Professor Murong turned the flashlight to the highest brightness and waved at everyone.
"Alright, be careful. There might still be some mechanisms in the tomb that have not been removed. Let's enter the main tomb and take a look. At that time, we will naturally know who the owner of the Spring and Autumn Tomb is!”
"Yes, Professor!" Everyone replied in unison.
The passageway was a little narrow at first, barely enough for one person to pass through.
However, after walking a few dozen steps, the passageway suddenly became wider. After another few dozen steps, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.
They did not know why, but they were still in the tomb, but a light came from somewhere. As soon as they walked out of the tomb, their entire field of vision was bright, as if the sun had appeared.
"Professor, we found something here!"
A male assistant who was cleaning up the dust in the tomb suddenly squatted on the ground and shouted.
When Professor Murong heard this, he quickly walked over." What did you find?”
The male assistant used a small brush to gently wipe the squarish object placed on the stone coffin, revealing its original appearance.
"It's a jade!" he said in surprise. Oh, no, this was not the jade seal, this was…the photograph seal!”
Image Seal?
This tomb was a tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period, and now, another seal had been discovered. Could it be that the owner of the tomb was not a duke, but a minister of some country?
However, since they had found the photo seal, as long as they knew what was written on it, the identity of the tomb owner would naturally be revealed!
Thinking of this, Professor Murong immediately took over and used a brush to repeatedly wipe the bottom of the seal, wanting to see the words at the bottom clearly.
Hu Rong came over." Professor, what's written on it?”
"Yes, yes. Do you know which big shot's tomb this is?" the director asked curiously.”
Professor Murong finally wiped the engraved part clean. He flipped the seal over and carefully brought it to the front of the glasses to study it.
Hu Rong's gaze also fell on the words at the bottom of the seal. She only took a glance and frowned slightly.
"This doesn't look like Xiaozhuan. It looks so messy. I can't understand it. Professor, what is written here?”
Professor Murong also frowned, as if he had seen something unbelievable. His entire face was almost pressed against the photo.
"How is that possible?"
"Professor, what is written on it?”
Professor Murong looked away and took a deep look at the stone coffin. Then, he looked at Hu Rong and said slowly,"Of course you can't understand it, because it's not Xiao Zhuan. Before the State of Qin unified the world, every country had their own different characters. This is the Qi script from the Spring and Autumn Period.”
"Qi Shu?" The people around him suddenly understood.
The director smiled and said," It's actually the Qi Country's book from the Spring and Autumn Period. Before the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty, not only did each country have their own characters, but they also often changed their pictograms in the past hundred years. Professor Murong is really knowledgeable and talented. He recognized it with a glance.”
"Since you can understand the words on it, who is the owner of this tomb?" Hu Rong asked.”
"This is what I find unbelievable.”
Professor Murong's brows were tightly knitted as his gaze fell on the words at the bottom of the seal. He paused between each word and said in a low voice," The owner of this tomb may be the number one prime minister of China, Guan Zhong!”
As soon as he said this, the people around him were all professionals related to archaeology. Of course, they were all sensible people. They immediately set off a huge uproar.
"This Spring Autumn Tomb is Guan Zhong's tomb?”
"Guan Zhong? Which Guan Zhong? Was it the virtuous minister who assisted Duke Huan of Qi to become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period?”
"Could it be that you can find a second Guan Zhong in history?”
"Impossible!"
"That's right. The tomb of Guan Zhong, the prime minister of Qi, has been discovered in Linzi. If this tomb is real, then what's the big tomb in Linzi?”
Professor Murong frowned as he listened to the discussions around him. He looked at the seal in his hand and could not help but fall into deep thought.
……
Two thousand years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period,
On the bumpy mountain road, at this moment, the old Guan Zhong was sitting in a carriage slowly coming down the mountain road.
