Chapter 410: The Divine Power Spear Appears! [2 more]
By using the position of the sun, we can determine where Huo Jingyu is buried.
Seeing Ye Wanlan observing the sun and shadows, Professor Xue was curious: "Wanlan, you didn't learn astrology from the Rong family, did you? Did you see anything?"
"It's not astrology, it's science." Ye Wanlan explained, "I'm looking for a place, but I'm not sure where it is. I can calculate the general direction through the position of the sun and the length of the shadow."
Professor Xue was confused: "Science... Science?"
Perhaps because he had encountered too much metaphysics recently, he almost forgot about the existence of science!
"What are you looking for?" Professor Fu looked at Professor Xue with disdain and asked with concern, "We can help."
"If we find it, we will indeed need the help of the two professors and the archaeological team." Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "I'll go take a look first and call you later."
"Hey, Wanlan!" Professor Xue called out, but he could only watch Ye Wanlan leave alone. He turned around and said, "Old Fu, what did Wanlan find out? I'm so unsure now!"
Just the work "The Apocalypse" has established Ye Wanlan's position in the Archaeological Center of the Cultural Relics Bureau.
He heard that at the research institute, the research team led by Academician Wu had already developed the prototype of a submarine warship, and within half a year, they would be able to successfully realize the technology described in the "Apocalypse Codex".
Since the discovery of "The Book of Revelation", Professor Xue still can't contain his excitement.
He couldn't wait to see, once all the drawings in "The Ceremony of Apocalypse" became reality, to what extent would China's comprehensive strength rise?
"I don't know." Professor Fu shook his head, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Since Wanlan came to find us, then what she is looking for is probably related to the Shen Ce Army."
But what else is related to the Shen Ce Army?
Professor Xue and Professor Fu looked at each other.
**
The sun was extremely strong at noon, the sky was cloudless, the sun was shining directly, and it was extremely hot and stuffy.
Through calculations, Ye Wanlan finally determined the approximate location.
But the terrain has changed over the past three hundred years, so it is impossible for it to remain exactly the same.
Ye Wanlan continued to observe, not missing any clues.
There are so many birds, beasts, snakes and insects here that even the locals in southern Xinjiang would not go deep into them.
After walking for a while, the ground under my feet suddenly became much softer.
Ye Wanlan's eyes narrowed slightly, she squatted down and patted the ground gently.
With a "whoosh", the ground actually sank.
not good!
There are actually signs of tomb robbery here.
Ye Wanlan narrowed his eyes.
She could confirm that Huo Jingyu's burial place was nearby, so the tomb robbers must have discovered something and were digging here.
Ye Wanlan moved his ears, and after confirming that there was no one within a hundred meters, he took out his cell phone.
"Professor Xue, Professor Fu." She dialed the number, "We found traces left by tomb robbers. They are not here now. I need the support of the archaeological team."
"What?!" Professor Xue was shocked. "Okay, we'll go there right away."
Southern Xinjiang, like Northwest Xinjiang, is home to many tomb-robbing gangs that sneak across the border because it was once the site of a large battlefield.
If we destroy one of these tomb-robbing gangs, there will be many more.
However, with the development of technology in recent years, the possibility of tomb robbers escaping surveillance has become increasingly smaller, and there are very few tomb-robbing gangs so rampant as to dig up antiques under the noses of archaeological teams.
However, because the ruins of the Shen Ce Army are located in a deep forest, the signal is intermittent and cannot be fully monitored, which gives tomb robbers an opportunity to take advantage.
Led by Professor Fu and Professor Xue, the archaeological team urgently arrived at the location mentioned by Ye Wanlan.
It was finally confirmed that a group of tomb robbers dug a hole and tunnel here.
However, this is not a short-term project, so when the tomb robbers go to rest, they will use stones and branches to cover it to prevent being discovered by others.
The archaeological team removed the camouflage again, and then the team members jumped down one by one.
Two more team members set up a ladder to make it easier for Professor Xue and Professor Fu to come down.
"What a deep cave." Professor Xue exclaimed, "These tomb robbers must have dug so deep to confirm that there is something here."
Otherwise, with the mentality of tomb robbers, they would have given up long ago when they had not dug up anything after digging for so long.
Fortunately, although the tomb robbers dug a long tunnel, no cultural relics were damaged.
"Professor, we've reached the end," the archaeological team leader asked. "Should we fill this up?"
"No, keep digging." Ye Wanlan said, "Those tomb robbers are sure there must be something here, we have to protect it in advance. Even if we fill it up, they will continue to dig."
Professor Xue and Professor Fu also agreed very much.
So the excavation work continued, but it didn't last long. It only dug another ten centimeters -
An extremely tall skeleton wearing broken armor appeared before everyone's eyes.
The entire cave was silent, as everyone was stunned by the skeleton.
Professor Xue's pupils suddenly contracted and he took a breath: "This, this is..."
"Huo Shuai..." Professor Fu murmured, "Huo Jingyu, Huo Shuai!"
There was no need to conduct further tests to confirm the identity of the skeleton's owner, because the archaeological team also saw the spear that was broken in the middle next to the skeleton.
The spear was made of gold and silver, was 13 feet long, and the tip of the spear was pure black, exactly the same as the Shenwei Spear described in history books.
More importantly, the word "Shenwei" is also engraved on the gun handle.
The history of Shenwei Spear is longer than that of the Shen Ce Army. The emperor of that time ordered workers to select the best materials to make this spear, and it was given to the marshal who established the Shen Ce Army.
Divine power, the power of China.
And the descendants have passed it down from generation to generation, living up to their ancestors' teachings.
Huo Jingyu, the youngest commander in the history of the Shence Army, led 8,000 Shence soldiers to defend Shenzhou and died on the battlefield.
Everyone, including historians, believed that Huo Jingyu must have been killed in that brutal battle involving thousands of troops.
But now, they have found his body and his weapons.
Archaeology is not tomb robbing, but protection based on discovered relics.
Professor Xue was also very fortunate that they arrived early, otherwise if the place was robbed by tomb robbers, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Wanlan, luckily you are here!" Professor Xue wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with lingering fear, "Otherwise, Marshal Huo's body would not rest in peace. If the Shenwei Spear was picked up by tomb robbers, it would definitely be sold abroad."
Ye Wanlan didn't say anything. She looked at the huge skeleton, her eyelashes moved, and her eye sockets were still covered with soreness.
The skeleton still maintained the posture that Huo Jingyu had when he died, but this skeleton made it difficult for her to associate it with this cowardly general with a sharpshooter.
"Before Huo Shuai died, he suffered unimaginable injuries." The team doctor was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, "It's hard to imagine how he could have fought under such injuries."
All the ribs were broken.
The scapula, leg bones, hand bones... even the skull had several dents, which shows how tragic it was.
A hero, well deserved.
"Contact the General Administration immediately." Professor Xue came back to his senses. "Tell the director to send more people over. I'm afraid the tomb robbers will make a comeback. We must not let them touch Marshal Huo's body!"

Yunjing, Huo family.
Today is Sunday, and as the New Year approaches, the atmosphere in the Huo family has become much more festive.
The head of the Huo family was drinking tea leisurely. After finishing his tea, he planned to go to the training ground to see Xiaobeimen's gun skills.
"Master!" Butler Huo rushed in in a panic. "Big news! Big news! The Archaeological Center of the Cultural Relics Bureau found the remains of Huo Shuai and the Shenwei Spear!"
The Huo family master spat out the tea before he could even swallow it. He stood up suddenly, shocked: "What did you say?!"
"It's absolutely true, Master!" Butler Huo said, "Look, that's the news headline that just popped up!"
The head of the Huo family put down the teacup with a "bang" and hurriedly snatched the mobile phone from the hand of the butler Huo.
What caught my eye was the red title:
"The archaeological team discovered Huo Shuai's remains and the Shenwei gun at 2:14 p.m. today..."
The Huo family is descendants of the Shen Ce Army, but they are not descendants of Huo Jingyu.
The reason why he took the surname "Huo" was to commemorate Huo Jingyu.
This shows the importance of Huo Jingyu in the history of the Shen Ce Army and the outstanding contributions he made.
The head of the Huo family slammed the table and said, "Quick, go and invite the elders. We will go to Southern Xinjiang now!"
Almost as soon as the news was released, the Huo family arrived in southern Xinjiang in a mighty manner, even half an hour earlier than the people sent by the Cultural Relics Bureau.
The Huo family's request was very simple. They wanted to take back Huo Jingyu's body and bury it properly, and they also wanted to bring the Shenwei Spear back to the Huo family for worship.
"Master Huo, I'm afraid these two requests of yours are not possible." Professor Fu said politely, "Huo Shuai's body is difficult to move, and the Cultural Relics Bureau decided to build a tomb for Huo Shuai on the spot, and the Shenwei Spear--"
The Huo family head frowned: "What's wrong?"
Professor Fu continued, "I still need to ask what Mr. Ye means."
The fourth elder of the Huo family couldn't help but laughed out loud: "You mean, in order for our Huo family to take back Huo Shuai's things, we still need to ask a little yellow-haired girl's opinion?"
Is Ye Wanlan qualified to give instructions on their things?
Thank you for your support, see you tomorrow~~
