Chapter 528

One small house after another stood not far away.

"People's lives now are much better than in the past."

"Yes, it's really quite good."

Fang Yang and Lu Gong were chatting, but if it didn't involve artifacts, they almost had no common language to talk about.

"Who was the first to excavate this Dingling?"

Lu Gong worked very hard to find topics.

Fang Yang looked at Lu Gong and said slowly: "Before, I might not have known much about this, but later I learned that it was Guo Ruo who excavated it."

"How much do you know about Guo Ruo?"

Lu Gong asked curiously.

"In the impression of many people, Guo Ruo is a hooligan, a scumbag, and a sinner."

Fang Yang said faintly. When he said these words, his tone was calm, almost without any emotion.

However, this was not what Lu Gong wanted to hear from Fang Yang's mouth.

"You said it yourself, in the impression of many people, but this is not in your impression. What is your view of Guo Ruo in your impression?"

"In 1956, with the support of Guo Ruo, China actively began to excavate Dingling."

"But in fact, at the beginning, Guo Ruo's goal was the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di."

"The scale of Zhu Di's Changling is very huge."

"So Guo Ruo would excavate Dingling, actually it is very likely just to practice; otherwise, he couldn't have dug Dingling when his goal was clearly Changling."

Fang Yang said slowly, and Lu Gong heard what Fang Yang said and felt it was very interesting, even couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I think some of your statements are very interesting. At least before, I had never heard anyone say such a view."

"I remember you have an archaeological video from that time, part of which is still circulating on the Internet. Guo Ruo led the archaeological team, along with the staff with camera equipment, into Dingling together."

"Doing so at that time was to record this moment that made the country brilliant."

"After the tomb door was opened, the underground palace containing countless treasures was exposed to people. The things in that video at that time were very orderly."

"But it was only for a moment. The large number of ancient calligraphy and paintings, silk fabrics, and artifact murals in this ancient tomb oxidized rapidly the moment they saw the light of day."

Speaking of this, Fang Yang couldn't help but sigh, and Lu Gong next to him also sighed.

391. This is the Great Ming that guards the country with the Son of Heaven! The biggest accident in archaeology! (Seeking full subscription)

If they could have made fuller preparations at that time, those luxury goods and artifact murals, as well as ancient calligraphy and paintings, could have been successfully preserved.

They could have placed these precious items in an oxygen-free space for preservation.

However, everything originated from the unknown.

Plus, this was almost impossible to do, so the best choice was not to touch these ancient tombs at all.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1.

——【I saw that video at the time, and it was heartbreaking to the extreme.】

——【Do you know how terrible it feels to see those brilliant treasures disappear from your eyes in an instant? It's exactly the same as feeling a piece of meat falling off your body.】

——【My friend once said that it's best not to mess with this kind of tomb; there are too many mechanisms. I asked what mechanisms, and he said public security mechanisms.】

——【If our technology hasn't reached the point where we can completely protect these ancient tombs, it's best not to let them have the possibility of seeing the light of day.】

——【Do you think that when those ancient tombs were not opened, the bodies of the emperors and empresses inside were still in the state before they died?】

——【Should be impossible, right?】

——【Hmm, I don't think it's possible either.】

——【When the people of the Qing Dynasty came in, they didn't dig the royal tombs of the Ming Dynasty, but they were dug by our descendants themselves.】

——【They were actually dug by our own archaeological experts. If it were dug by grave robbers, although it would be heartbreaking, I would know that this is something that cannot be avoided.】

——【They not only dug them at that time, but even directly burned the bones of the emperor and empress.】

——【I want to beat Guo Ruo to death.】

——【At that time, the remains of the emperor and empress could be discarded at will; they didn't care, and there was no protection or respect. It's a sin! The difference between the archaeology of that time and now is too big. We are now protective excavation, and the tombs we touch are almost all already excavated.】

——【You didn't say it, but I didn't notice that the ancient tombs Fang Yang excavated basically have many, many grave holes, and the most have more than 10 grave holes. The things inside are also damaged beyond recognition. I feel that our current archaeological experts, or Fang Yang, are just picking up the things left behind by those grave robbers.】

——【It's still better now.】

——【I'm going crazy with anger. The excavation of Wanli's Dingling was not archaeology at all; it was purely digging graves. Which country's archaeology digs up coffins and remains and throws them away and destroys them? And this is still a Ming Dynasty emperor!】

——【Hehe, because of technical reasons, a large number of artifacts turned into nothing in an instant; the biggest accident in archaeology!】

——【I want to ask how long it took to build Dingling, which is so big and so fine?】

——【Seems like thirty years.】

——【Some people pay attention to their wording. The archaeological team cannot use grave-robbing artifacts; don't indirectly satirize the national archaeological team.】

——【Uh, where did we indirectly satirize? It's clearly an open satire of the national archaeological team.】

——【In the past, experts couldn't open the doors in these tombs, so they went to prison to ask those grave robbers how to open these doors. It seems they used some jade dragon stone or something to jam it before they could push it open.】

——【The experts in the past were actually grave robbing. Who knows if they secretly hid things, took them away, and sold them?】

——【The people in the past didn't have the self-consciousness of our people now.】

——【I just don't understand, what is there to be curious about in a tomb? Who is willing to disturb the resting place, not to mention it's a yin house?】

——【I went to a graveyard before, and as soon as I went in, I felt like Mount Tai pressing on the top, my head was heavy and stuffy. Sometimes I believe in ghosts and gods, I still think it makes a lot of sense. I don't know if the ancestors are watching us nearby?】

——【Who knows if this excavation work is right or wrong? I always feel it's right, because digging it up lets us know many, many things from the past. But if we don't dig it, there's no way to know some things.】

——【Guo Ruo had a construction permit at the time. He is very similar to the current Fang Yang, but why do I hate Guo Ruo so much, yet like Fang Yang so much?】

392. Emperor's coffin! Are you playing cat and mouse? (Seeking full subscription)

I don't know who suddenly brought it up.

Then everyone had some doubts about the work of excavating ancient tombs, but fortunately, they divided the present and the past into two parts.

They condemned some behaviors of the past represented by Guo Ruo, but affirmed Fang Yang's current behavior.

The cameraman was originally very worried watching the noisy livestream, but when he saw that the content above was not attacking Fang Yang, he felt relieved again.

It's truly great; it seems that what he was worried about didn't happen.

Just like this, they interacted with the people in the livestream while continuing to walk toward the lush grass.

"There is wood here that is obviously very different from the surrounding trees, but it is rotten very badly, and I can't see what it looked like originally."

While Fang Yang was saying this, he chose to squat down directly.

Lu Gong heard Fang Yang say this and immediately squatted down to check the wood.

"Since the coffin of Dingling was thrown out by archaeological experts decades ago, its whereabouts have not been found until now."

Hearing what Lu Gong said, Fang Yang felt a bit strange.

"Since it's throwing, it must have been thrown nearby. After all, no one would throw something out and throw it a hundred and eight thousand miles away." Fang Yang stated his speculation: "There are quite a few villages nearby. Could it be that someone picked up the coffin at that time? After all, the emperor and empress's coffin must be made of top-quality wood, and the carvings must be very good."

It was precisely because of this that it was extremely likely that it was taken away by someone.

"After so many years, even if it was taken away, I'm afraid it was used for other purposes, or burned as firewood."

The era is long ago, and even if you really want to find something, it's hard to find, and there's no need to look for it at all.

Maybe when they first learned about this history, modern experts, because of excessive anger and resentment, tried to find the coffin back, but soon, the angry mood was suppressed.

They knew very well that time was long.

Even if they really wanted to find some things, it was very difficult. Instead of that, it was better to forget this matter directly.

This was the most wrong thing their archaeological circle had done, and they needed to take it as a warning.

Warn themselves that the same thing is absolutely not allowed to happen in such a society today.

Thinking of this matter, Lu Gong couldn't help but fix his gaze on Fang Yang beside him.

Fang Yang was not a professional in the archaeological circle, so it was normal for him not to know some things.

However, Lu Gong thought this way, but didn't know that Fang Yang knew many things, and it wasn't that he didn't understand some things as deeply as he thought.

They walked further and further, and finally didn't see anything, so Fang Yang and the others planned to return the same way.

But at this time, they saw someone nearby, looking suspicious.

Their gazes seemed to fall directly on Fang Yang and the others.

The situation they were showing was too obvious, making it hard not to care.

"You have been following us for a long time, what is it for?"

Fang Yang didn't want to play a game of chasing and hiding with the other party, so he stopped, turned his head, and shouted directly at the person who was following and acting suspiciously.

As soon as that person heard him speak, he seemed to want to run away for a moment, but after a few struggles on that honest-looking face, he finally stopped and walked slowly toward Fang Yang.

Fang Yang's face was calm, without any impatience at all, and he just waited quietly.
