Every ti they went into the mountains for an archaeological mission, the archaeologists needed to analyze the terrain of the mountain ranges, with the main person in charge planning the detection route.
Even escape and evacuation routes needed to be planned.
In case of any unexpected situations.
"So, where do we go next?" Professor Qi asked.
After thinking for a mont, Qin Sisi pointed to a high ground not far from the lake and said, "Professor Qi, you are an expert in Feng Shui and geography. If we climb up there, we may be able to locate the true Dragon Head."
Obviously.
Giving Professor Qi a little flattery seed to work very well.
Professor Qi chuckled and said, "Qin girl makes a good point. Captain Yao, let's take a look from higher up; we might find sothing unexpected."
"Sure."
Old Yao didn't object either.
All the mbers had been trekking for most of the day. Fortunately, they were all skilled mountaineers, and still had good energy. The high ground above the lake was not a difficult task for them.
Huff——
The archaeologists took a deep breath and stood on the high ground surveying the surroundings.
In the deep forest, the vegetation was lush, the terrain undulated, and the mountain ranges andered.
"The Dragon Head is there!"
Professor Qi suddenly shouted, his face full of joy!
Everyone imdiately looked towards the source of the sound.
Several mountain ranges wound their way there, the ridges surging and rolling, converging at one point, with streams andering snake-like around the hills.
"Streams surround it, five dragons converge," Qin Sisi murmured faintly, her pupils slightly dilated.
The voice was so soft that no one heard it.
She was almost certain that this was the location of the tomb described in Lin Chuan's novel.
Old Yao's face was filled with joy, and he imdiately said, "Let's go and detect it right away!"
One after another, the archaeologists, full of vigor, picked up their tools and followed Old Yao to detect the area at the Dragon Head.
At this mont.
Qin Sisi stepped onto the 'Dragon Head,' took a deep breath, and holding the sound wave detector, began her detection.
She carefully placed the sensor part of the sound wave detector close to the ground, lightly pressed the switch, and the device imdiately emitted a faint buzzing sound as it started working.
The display screen of the detector imdiately showed waveforms.
As the sound wave signals were captured, these waveforms beca more and more complex, showing different frequencies and amplitudes.
Occasionally a breeze would blow, lifting a few strands of hair hanging at Qin Sisi's temples, ssily sticking to her serene and graceful face, moistened with sweat.
But she didn't mind.
She stared at the screen, continually adjusting the detector's angle and position, trying to capture the most accurate sound wave signals.
At the sa ti, she was analyzing the data on the screen.
This was the professional discipline of an archaeologist.
Suddenly!
A waveform appeared on the screen showing a high frequency resemblance, similar to the pattern of sound waves propagating through the air.
Her heart skipped a beat, filled with surprise and joy.
There was really a burial chamber below!
But Qin Sisi didn't have ti to think it over, she was on an archaeological mission and had to report to the team leader.
"Captain Yao, here!"
Old Yao's gaze imdiately shot over, his feet moving quickly as he ran up to Qin Sisi and asked, "You found sothing?"
Qin Sisi nodded and said, "Captain Yao, look at this waveform."
Old Yao imdiately took over the sound wave detector, his eyes falling on the screen, his face instantly brightened: "Indeed, this is the real Dragon Head!"
Just as Old Yao was filled with joy.
Elsewhere, an archaeologist in a secluded corner suddenly shouted, "Captain Yao, there's a hole here!"
A hole?
This shout instantly raised the hearts of the whole archaeological team.
During an excavation, the last thing archaeologists wanted to see was a hole.
But now, their greatest concern had still occurred.
Old Yao imdiately hurried over.
Qin Sisi followed closely behind.
A hole ca into view.
This hole was hidden by dead branches and leaves, with weeds growing on the outside. After removing the branches and leaves, one could see the hole was about one ter in diater, with an estimated depth of more than four or five ters.
Seeing this hole, Qin Sisi felt her heart which was already hanging, now hung even higher.
Tomb robbing!
Moreover, looking at the condition of the hole, it had been there for a very long ti.
This also ant that tomb robbers had visited this place long ago.
Old Yao, Professor Qi, and others imdiately gathered around the hole to detect what was inside.
Qin Sisi's thoughts were filled with Lin Chuan.
Could this hole have been dug by Lin Chuan?
She hoped not.
But the details recorded in the novel were almost identical to this place. If Lin Chuan hadn't dug it, how could he know so much?
Soone else told him?
Hopefully.
"Start a full survey of the site imdiately," Old Yao commanded, interrupting Qin Sisi's thoughts.
Qin Sisi forced herself back into work mode, performing the task at hand.
The site survey was very thorough.
But it produced no findings.
On the other hand, Old Yao quickly used satellite communication to call the Linyi Cultural Relics Bureau and inquired about the situation.
However, the Linyi Cultural Relics Bureau knew nothing about it.
"Captain Yao, this place is remote. Even nearby villagers rarely co here. Tomb robbing is very secretive, and it's really hard to discover it in ti," Professor Qi spoke up for the Linyi Cultural Relics Bureau.
Old Yao's face looked a bit stern as he nodded, "We just discovered this tomb ourselves, it's indeed hard to prevent this."
"Captain Yao, what do we do now?"
An archaeologist asked.
Old Yao looked at the sky, pondered for a mont, and then said, "It's getting late now, it's not practical to enter the tomb right now. Let's seal off this area. I'll contact the police and the Cultural Relics Bureau in Linyi to open the tomb tomorrow."
