Chapter 3 002 / Early morning excavation site

It is about an hour's drive from the hotel where Dr. Lei lived to the excavation site. So when the two of them drove to the excavation site.The originally gloomy night sky has turned a pale fish belly. In the dim morning light, the towering excavation site in Taiyuan is shrouded in a deep morning mist. The excavation site occupies a vast area and belongs to the plateau terrain. It is flat and looks like endless dust billowing as far as the eye can see.In the early hours of the morning, the sky was dark and gloomy, and Dr. Lei and the two who were driving the jeep felt an indescribably tragic atmosphere.

Looking at the desolate scenery passing by outside the car window, Lian couldn't help thinking that this plateau was once the famous ancient battlefield in Taiyuan. Because Taiyuan is located in a hub, its military value is extremely high, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. I don’t know how many battles, big or small, took place here?How many heroes and fighters who abandoned their wives and children, have a hatred for this?And what exciting and moving stories are silently portrayed by the loess fine sand flying in front of you? And why is Mo Xie, the oldest and most famous husband and wife pair of swords in Chinese history, buried here?Is there a story buried behind them?

What kind of moving ancient history is waiting for the two of them in front of them? While Lian was contemplating, the bumpy jeep finally stopped. Here we go, Lian.Dr. Lei turned his head and smiled at Lian, pulled the handbrake with his right hand, picked up his luggage, and jumped out of the car. It was the first time Lian saw the appearance of the excavation site. The entire excavation site was fenced with simple wooden pillars, and the wooden pillars stretched to the other side of the earth, showing the vastness of the excavation site. On the fence in front of her was a The sign, with several mottled red characters, reads:

warn!This is a restricted area, non-excavation personnel are strictly prohibited from entering! At this moment, the gate of the fence was pushed open with a creak, and a young man in a bright yellow jacket, with hair disheveled by the wind and a smiling smile, raised his right hand high, and was waving fiercely at Dr. Lei. Doctor, here you come!Very good!The young man ran over and shook hands with Dr. Lei warmly.I am waiting for you! Xiao Huang, come on, let me introduce you, this is my wife.Dr. Lei politely introduced the two of them. Lian, this is what I often mention to you, the supervisor in charge of the excavation site, Chen Ming, you can just call him Xiao Huang.

Mrs. Ray, hello.When Xiao Huang saw Lian, she blushed shyly. Doctor, you are so lucky to have married such a beautiful lady. Xiao Huang, your mouth is so sweet, no wonder Lei praised you straight away. Lian took a closer look at Xiao Huang. Although the young man in front of him was slovenly, he had bright eyes and a straight nose. He was a handsome young man. However, in terms of name or appearance, this yellow character has nothing to do with it. Lian couldn't help being curious, and asked: Please forgive me if I offend you. I don't think your skin color is yellow, and your name doesn't have yellow characters. How could it be? How about calling you Xiao Huang?

Ha ha.Dr. Lei laughed from the side. This kid never liked to take a bath. He wore a yellow coat all day long. He looked very eye-catching on the excavation site. After a long time, people called him Xiao Huang. Hahaha, Dr. Lei is right, but I have been called Xiao Huang since I was a child, it seems to be related to my love of wearing yellow clothes!But I still know how to take a bath, but there are not many opportunities. We are archaeologists, how can we have so many opportunities to take a bath?Xiao Huang scratched his messy hair and laughed childishly. Ha ha, this sentence is quite reasonable.Dr. Lei said with a smile, archeology in the field is like rolling with the loess, as dirty as it can be, and there are not many opportunities to take a bath.

That's right, Dr. Lei, please spare me, I am dull and shy in front of beautiful women, and I can't win you with my words!Xiao Huang glanced at Lian, blushed and smiled. Looking at Xiao Huang, the corners of Lian's mouth could not help but rise slightly, no wonder Lei kept mentioning him and liked him so much.In Lei's heart, he must regard Xiao Huang as his younger brother.Xiao Huang is young, naive, full of drive, and at the same time has an admiration for Lei Huai.Lian sighed softly, alas!Since the archaeological tragedy happened last time, Lei has been depressed for a long time, meeting Xiao Huang, in fact, it can be regarded as a kind of emotional transfer!

After the three people greeted each other, they changed to another means of transportation, which was a special construction vehicle for excavation sites. The appearance of this construction vehicle looked like a small strange hand, but its tires were professionally designed, and the four-wheel Thick, with iron shoes attached, like a chariot, it can climb over any terrain.If it is not for a professionally designed engineering vehicle, it is really difficult to move in a place as uneven as an excavation site with potholes. The construction vehicle has limited seats, Xiao Huang got into the driver's seat, Lian sat in the front seat, and Dr. Lei leaned on the rear of the construction vehicle half standing and half sitting.

Xiao Huang, could it be that the two swords you mentioned on the phone are the most famous double swords in the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods? Dr. Lei couldn't wait to ask as soon as he got into the car. Yes, it was those two swords!Xiao Huang replied, and said excitedly, Dr. Lei, let me tell you, although I, Xiao Huang, do not have your decades of archaeological qualifications.I have traveled here and there with you over the years, and I have seen many good products.However, when I saw this pair of swords, my heart still jumped a few times. I knew it at a glance, good guy!In fact, when the two swords were just brought out of the soil, the blades were still stuck together, like a loving couple sleeping in the soil for thousands of years

Um, you mean, when these two swords were unearthed, they were glued together?Dr. Lei frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and asked. Exactly!It's stuck together!Fortunately, the iron on the blade itself did not melt together, so we were still separated.Xiao Huang replied. However, Dr. Lei, the reason why I wake you up in the middle of the night is not because of the simplicity of discovering the double swords, but because for what?asked Professor Ray.Don't stutter! Because to be honest, these two swords look weird when unearthed!I have been archaeological for a long time, but I have never seen such a strange thing. Therefore, I asked the doctor to come and see Xiao Huang hesitated for a while before saying.

How strange?tell me the story?Dr. Lei was refreshed when he heard this, and asked quickly. Don't be too surprised!Xiao Huang smiled wryly and said, this pair of swords is rare in our history. Many legends say that Ganjiang Moxie is very sharp, and ordinary swords are hard to match. Such a pair of divine swords.It stands to reason that, apart from the corrosion of the years itself, the blade should be perfect, but when we found this pair of double swords, it turned out But what?The hesitant Dr. Lei frowned and asked. But it is broken.Xiao Huang replied with a wry smile.Both were broken. ah!Broken?Both are broken?Dr. Lei was startled, and he and Lian looked at each other, and they both found the same shock in each other's eyes. That's right, Dr. Lei, the strange thing is more than that. I don't know what kind of preservation method is used on the top of the double swords?Not even the slightest oxidative damage!But the sword body was cut off at the waist, both of them were like this, so I guess I guess there may be other weapons Xiao Huang continued. The double swords were cut off by other weapons! !Thinking of this, Dr. Lei couldn't help shouting. Dr. Lei recalled the records about the double swords, and described it like this: The pair of double swords have been legendary since they came out of the furnace. First, they were made of mysterious black iron, a material that cannot be melted no matter how high the temperature, and finally Mo Xie was sacrificed. One person, thrown into the furnace, turned his body into iron, turned iron into a sword, and forged the best sword in the world. The double swords not only have special origins, but also have even more strange encounters afterwards. First, they carried the revenge of killing their fathers, and later they angrily beheaded the faint king. This also makes its legend the most mysterious and confusing part in the history of Chinese swords. Moreover, the biggest feature of this pair of swords is that the husband and wife are twins, vowing to die together, which adds a lot of romantic color. However, in the history of China, there is actually another weapon that can cut off the extremely sharp and invincible swords of Mo Xie at the same time!What exactly is the weapon?Or some strange legend? What kind of story is hidden behind this? On the other side, Lian watched Dr. Lei's frowning expression, and couldn't help showing a faint smile, because she knew that when Dr. Lei frowned, it was the moment for him to think hard and break through adversity. She secretly said in her heart: Come on, come on, dear husband!
