The next morning, O'Connor and his group arrived at the construction site at the foot of Mount Li. The place had been protected by Feng Yuxiang. The British Council in Wuhan sent someone to contact Feng Yuxiang. Before, Yan Xiangwen suddenly committed suicide not long after he was the governor of Shaanxi. Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the 11th Division of the Direct Army, took over as the governor of Shaanxi.

Feng Yuxiang is the military leader of the Beiyang warlords in Shaanxi. When he met O'Connor and others in the Shaanxi Governor's Mansion, he wore a soldier uniform. Because he was a soldier, he always liked to act hard and simple, but he was also devout Christian. When he met foreign "Capitalists", he also wore a cross hanging on his chest, which looked inappropriate.

In fact, at this time, believing in Christianity became a trend in China. Warlords were proud of believing in Christianity. Thinking deeply, it was nothing more than currying out for foreigners. In this trunk of Chinese warlords, foreigners spoke more effectively than the President of the Beiyang.

Not to mention anything else, it is worthy of his favor that the British would loosen their arms to Feng Yuxiang’s loan to the cheaper interest.

Feng Yuxiang was very enthusiastic about entertaining the "archaeologists" from abroad. He diligently invited O'Connor, Laura and others to pray in his small church. In the name of discussing the doctrine and the Bible, he made him get familiar with these foreigners.

Although Britain suffered a heavy blow at this time, Feng Yuxiang might not know first, and Feng Yuxiang might not know second, even if Feng Yuxiang knew, the British Empire had some degree of family background, and neither the French nor the Germans dared to look down on Great Britain, which held maritime power, let alone the Chinese warlords? Although Britain's family business was defeated, it was still a little nobler than the inferior yellow people. O'Connor and others thought so.

In their opinion, most of Europe has culture and civilization, and Christianity is even more universal. The British are first-class civilized people, Europeans are second-class civilized people, Americans are vulgar civilized people, Japanese are civilized barbarians, and Chinese are at best better than those African natives and are semi-civilized barbarians. The religious Chinese are completely civilized among the civilized barbarians, which are more noble than others.

So when Feng Yuxiang revealed his identity as a believer, they still had some high opinion and favorable feelings.

But when the two sides discussed the specific division of interests, this kind of favor was immediately thrown behind. The British deputy director who led the way looked cold and said with a hint of command: "We ask the Beiyang side to come forward to protect our archaeological team and suppress local thieves and rebels, and provide convenience for our activities here as much as possible."

Feng Yuxiang laughed and said, "We must protect your country's legitimate interests, but we cannot sell China's interests... right? Now on the streets, we have a bad reputation for your archaeological activities! Qin Shihuang is a great emperor in China, and his tomb is also an important property and treasure of the Chinese government. If your country forces it to take over its archaeological activities, it may cause a disagreement against Britain in public opinion. You must know that there are also the group of traitors in the south who are at work."

"If we Beiyang concessions to Britain! The group of rebel parties in the south will definitely siege the Beiyang in public opinion, and the cultural and educational circles will also strongly oppose this kind of infringement on Chinese treasures and reselling Chinese cultural relics..."

The vice director's eyes turned cold and said lightly: "The British government has no intention of stealing Chinese cultural relics..." As soon as he said this, Feng Yuxiang cursed in his stomach: "You are a lie! More than ten years ago, the scriptures in Dunhuang, Gansu did not seem to be exhibited in your British Museum? There are so many treasures in the Chinese Pavilion, is it the Chinese people who gave you?"

"... But to be honest, the Chinese government does not have the conditions for excavation and preservation of cultural relics at all. Your country has no archaeology at all. Your country's history and culture will only be recognized and recognized by the international academic community under the development and protection of the United Kingdom. Given to you, these precious cultural relics will only be allowed to fall into the international cultural relics market, causing inevitable damage and loss."

"This archaeological operation is of great importance. On the one hand, our country hopes that there will be a battalion of embassy guards to protect our archaeologists at archaeological sites and work normally. At the same time, General Feng also needs reasonable help, such as guides and excavators. For the friendship between our two countries, General Feng should carefully consider our suggestions."

In order to force Feng Yuxiang to agree in the shortest time, the deputy director had to violate the usual exquisite tricks in the British diplomatic circle and use a hard threatening method to make Feng Yuxiang let go. Sure enough, when the deputy director's tone was implicitly threatened, Feng Yuxiang still agreed to all the British requests despite his ugly face.

The vice consul knew that the matter that Feng Yuxiang would be bought later would be left to them to solve by themselves. Now the most urgent task is to let O'Connor and others start working.

When he arrived at the foot of Mount Li, Laura saw an orderly excavation site. Laura was surprised to see a few people dressed in hemp shoes and dressed in a "tushi master" who were inserting a semi-cylindrical shovel underground. The old man in the lead was gray and still holding the whip of the Qing Dynasty. He put his braids on his head and carefully checked the soil he brought.

O'Connor walked behind Laura and said in surprise: "What are these Chinese doing?"

"Shh!" Laura interrupted him and said in a low voice: "I have heard Chinese archaeologists mention in archaeological documents that Chinese explorers and tomb robbers use an archaeological tool called the "Luoyang Shovel" to bring out dozens of feet of underground soil for analysis and inspection. They will observe the color and smell of the soil, determine its age, geological characteristics and tomb seals."

"Experienced Chinese explorers can even use them to determine whether someone had excavated this land on a large scale hundreds of years ago."

"It's so amazing!" Laura exclaimed.

"The technique of geomancer is to taste water in the earth and taste water..." The gray-haired old man whispered to Chen Yulou next to him: "I have tasted the seventeen ancient wells around me, and I have confirmed that the water here is tender and sweet, with three-quarters of gold and seven-quarters of silver and seven-quarters of silver. It can be said to be rich and long-lasting. It is also heavy and weighs eight liang, which is very auspicious."

"Why do sir frown frequently?" Chen Yulou said in confusion.

"It's the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel, it's very strange! I have already discovered the upper layer of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, but if I really follow what I have explored, the Qin Emperor's tomb will have soil mud marks from 12,000 steps back and 30,000 steps left and right. Moreover, the upper layer of the soil is blue-black, which is Yang Qingmu, and Yang Qingmu often appears in the Warring States tombs."

"But I only saw this color of Yangqing Mud in a Qin noble tomb I visited in my early years. At that time, your father was the leader. He led us to discover this tomb at the foot of Mount Saga. At that time, we noticed the strangeness of this copper-colored seal. Later, when we opened the thief hole in the seal, an unimaginable horror happened."

"Later we learned that this copper-colored Yangqing mud is also called 'Zhilongling'. This Yangqing mud needs to be mixed with human blood medicine and mashed with Yangqing mud excavated from the ancient tomb. A soil ball should weigh nine taels and nine points, mix with the insects and foreign insect eggs, and poured on the outer layer of the sealed soil of the tomb."

"There are eight kinds of Gu insect eggs mixed into the sting dragon soil. When the eggs of the alien insects are added, the worms are hatched when the wind is covered. After the seal is covered, if it is more than three meters deep and nourished by the underground yin spring, the worms in the seal will slowly lay eggs and die. This kind of alien insect is very strange in nature and needs to be parasitized on the Gu insect to reproduce. Adults need to be parasitized on the Gu insect to lay eggs with Gu insects. At that time, the eggs laid by Gu insects will carry Gu insect eggs and Gu insect eggs. The worms hatched with Gu insects will parasitize the next generation of Gu insects in the shortest time. In order to allow themselves to parasitize Gu insects to reproduce, Gu insects will secrete a propolis-like gelatin before death to protect Gu insect eggs. After they become adults, they must grow wings in the wind."

"So the first batch of hatched worm eggs, the grown worms, will die because they cannot see the wind after protecting the worm eggs in the soil. Their parasitic worm eggs can remain alive for thousands of years without losing their vitality. Only when the wind is seen, the secretions protected by the worms will disappear, prompting the worms to hatch."

The old man sighed, "When we robbed the tomb of the Qin nobles, the two thousand-year-old Gu insect eggs inside were exposed to the wind and corrupted into countless fine Gu insects as thin as dust, and they unconsciously parasitized in our bodies." As he said that, the old man carefully crushed the bronze sealed soil lifted from the Luoyang shovel and showed it to Chen Yulou.

Some large ones were as big as sesame seeds, and small vaguely invisible insects shook off from the sealed soil.

Chen Yulou's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "So we have about a few sloping places under our feet, and there are such seals underground? So how big will the insects in the seals be resurrected when they are dug a hole?"

The old man pondered for a moment and looked up and said, "As the wind blows from the thief cave, it will probably alarm the surrounding insects."

"These insects like yin and dislike yang, and will not appear on the ground with sunlight at any time, but they will soon be everywhere in the thief holes. When we drill into the thief holes, it is like entering an insect cave. From digging to hibernating dragon soil, in just three minutes, the insect insects will revive and breed. The larger the area you dug out, the more insect insects will be alarmed."

"This is the first defense of the First Emperor's tomb!" Chen Yulou sighed: "With the powerful talent of the First Emperor, I don't know how many dangers there will be..."

O'Connor looked at the people who were shoveling at Luoyang under his feet and sneered: "I don't think I have to look forward to those Chinese people anymore. They are ignorant and lazy uncivilized nations... We don't have much time left, so we have to dig up the coffin of the Dragon Emperor quickly to prevent those Easterners from resurrecting him."

Laura opposes: "I think we should listen to the opinions of local explorers..."

"Listen to them, we can't dig the main tomb chamber in a year!" O'Connor left the place without looking back and walked towards the tent set up on the scene. He wanted to discuss with the supervisor here and speed up the progress according to his opinion.
