Chapter 147: I don’t agree! She is a novice, why should I tell her everything?
Gu Shengsheng took a quick look and said, "Write down the inscription first. It looks like an epitaph, and it should be the words left by the tomb owner during his lifetime."
Having said that, she wrote down on paper:
During the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, he entered the palace as a eunuch. He served the Prince of Yan. During the Jianwen reign, he joined Zhu Di in his uprising. Fortunately, he...
And then nothing happened.
Gu Shengsheng said, "This should be a record of his life. It's incomplete. We'll have to go into the tomb to find out if there's any follow-up. Then we can look for historical materials to research. But I noticed that the rice rudder just now, I think, might be a high-ranking naval officer."
Wang Yu, the director of the Anxi Museum, said in disbelief, "Ms. Gu can actually understand this kind of ancient text?!"
Even he, who has been a curator for so many years, cannot understand many texts and needs many experts to study them.
I didn’t expect that something that would take ten days or half a month to study would only take a few minutes for Gu Shengsheng.
He is truly a genius!
Zhang Zhengyi said, "That makes sense. It's the Ming Dynasty, and it's a eunuch. It's hard to guess who it is."
"Zheng He?" Wang Yu asked puzzledly.
Gu Shengsheng then denied it: "No, Zheng He's ancient tomb has been found. It's on Niu Shou Mountain. More importantly, most of the eunuchs who accompanied Zheng He on his voyages, as well as the Ming Dynasty, are also buried in Niu Shou Mountain."
"It's rare to see it appear in Anxi City nowadays."
"However, if we can find this historical feature, we may be able to fill in some of the historical materials about Zheng He. Everything is interconnected, and I hope we can gain something this time." Zhang Zhengyi suddenly became more motivated.
After so many years of doing archaeology and enduring so much hardship, he must have some achievements. Watching the history books being filled in bit by bit is his lifelong wish.
Gu Shengsheng was just about to ask about the arrangements for the archaeological trip tomorrow.
Then an old man in a coat walked in in a hurry.
He was bald, with only a few hairs lying alone on his head, but he combed it very smoothly.
It can be seen that he cares very much about the few hairs he has.
As soon as he came in, he said to Gu Shengsheng very seriously, "I am the director of the Anxi Archaeological Investigation Department. Miss Gu, thank you for your help today, but we recommend that you do not go to the tomb tomorrow."
"This ancient tomb has been experiencing accidents these past two days. Although we are very grateful for Miss Gu's help, and Teacher Zhang is also interested in training you, for your safety, we cannot let you take risks."
After all, Gu Shengsheng is just a novice, and there may be dead people in the tomb.
Gu Shengsheng thought that if it was just this matter, there was no need for him to come in person. There must be something else he needed her help with.
So I asked, "Do I have other plans?"
"Yes. Miss Gu's knowledge of historical materials and cultural relics is first-rate. We really don't have a talent like you here. We have also taken some funerary relics here and there in the past few days. Many of them are unreadable. I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Gu."
"Okay." Gu Shengsheng nodded, then looked at Zhang Zhengyi.
Zhang Zhengyi sighed. After the minister said this, Zhang Zhengyi had no way to persuade him.
After all, it is indeed dangerous, and Gu Shengsheng is still just a little girl.
No matter how much he believed, he couldn't believe that accidents wouldn't happen.
"Shengsheng, then you can go look at the cultural relics with Director Wang Yu. I will tell you any progress."
At this moment, Zhang Yu, an assistant following Zhang Zhengyi, felt a little unhappy.
He said directly: "Teacher, you know that our progress cannot be disclosed casually, but this time, not only did you get so close to a female internet celebrity, you also gave her first-hand information."
"Isn't this an opportunity for her to make money? If she can do it, why can't we? I also want to start a live broadcast and become a million-dollar up-host!" Zhang Yu said in confusion.
He had been holding this in for several days and only said it now.
He didn't understand why his teacher became so close to this woman all of a sudden after working with him for so many years when he came to Anxi City.
He did understand that this Gu Shengsheng was very powerful, and he had also witnessed her powerful side.
But this time in the tomb, she can't compare to them, right?
Why do I have to discuss this matter with Gu Shengsheng?
Then Gu Shengsheng looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "So what do you want from your teacher?"
"Everyone has their own responsibilities. Miss Gu, you have made great contributions and are more capable than me. But I want to say that when it comes to tomb exploration and doing some basic research, you are definitely not as good as me."
"So I think we should wait until the documentary comes out to discuss this matter. There's no need to use this material to hype it up."
He really hated these internet celebrities, and the moment he heard Gu Shengsheng was live streaming, he felt unhappy. He thought she was just a vase, relying on traffic to make money.
Gu Shengsheng said, "I don't mind what you think of me. I'm here to help. Just divide the cultural relics among me according to the regulations."
It would be nice if the work could be a little easier.
It’s just that Zhang Yu’s attitude is really not very good. I hope he won’t be embarrassed later.
Gu Shengsheng kindly reminded him, "You're too impatient. Don't be so impulsive when you go to the tomb, or you'll get your teacher and your team into trouble."
Zhang Yu nodded reluctantly: "Ms. Gu, thank you for your advice. I will pay attention to it, no need for you to remind me."
He was in his thirties, and he felt really uncomfortable being educated like this by a little girl.
More importantly, he had no way to refute what Gu Shengsheng said because Zhang Zhengyi often scolded him like that.
After he and the minister left, Zhang Zhengyi and Gu Shengsheng were left standing together.
Zhang Zhengyi sighed, "He's really not doing well. He still can't settle down at this age. It seems I have to train new young people."
"It's okay. He's not a bad person, he just doesn't have a brain." Gu Shengsheng still reminded, "There are indeed many problems in this cemetery. I even feel something strange. When the time comes, Professor Zhang, don't act rashly."
"Okay, I'll connect you. I always feel more at ease with you here. The minister and I have discussed this matter. If it doesn't work, we'll ask you to come down again."
He continued, "Shengsheng, I always feel that you can save us this time."
Gu Shengsheng sighed helplessly, "Really? This is my first time dealing with something like this, and I've never even seen this cemetery before. Xiaobai is absolutely right about this. Don't expect too much from me, but I can definitely offer my opinions."
Early the next morning, Gu Shengsheng got up with Zhang Zhengyi and others.
Gu Shengsheng, Curator Wang Yu, and several staff members of the archaeological team responsible for identification all followed them to a tent outside the ancient tomb.
Many of them were dug up outside in the past two days.
The others tried hard to look, but Gu Shengsheng was like a robot, able to tell all the specifications at a glance, and the most amazing thing was that he also knew the price. He knew all the features...
