"The owner of this tomb seems to have carefully planned it. I feel like I knew how the authorities would excavate the tomb a thousand years from now. I was lucky to escape unscathed this time."
"Many of the books inside have been corroded by time, but there is a stone tablet on which the history of Anxin Keju is engraved."
Ma Qianfeng secretly said to the person next to him, "That's right. When we enter Anxin Guest House, we can see the modern text translated from the stone tablet. It is placed where Professor Duan lectures."
Professor Duan continued, "Everyone only knows one part of the story. There's also another stone tablet that's slightly damaged. It took a long time to fully decipher its contents."
"I mentioned before that the tomb's owner, An Jingzhi, seemed to know that someone would come and rob the tomb in the future."
"Then this somewhat damaged stone tablet is supporting evidence."
"What is written on Professor Duan's stone tablet?" The students discussed it one after another, and were all very curious about it.
"The first part was a warning, and the second part was only deciphered later."
"There are many ancient artifacts in the tomb, which are extremely valuable. The stone tablet contains the conversation between the tomb owner and future generations."
I am still quite surprised when I think of the scene when they finished translating the contents of the stone tablet.
"The front is a warning to those who come in. If you take something but don't follow the rules, bad things will happen to you."
"The tomb owner is willing to donate everything in the tomb to the country, on the condition that the country use the revenue to build Anxin Guest House."
As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd exploded, and everyone was talking about it. No one had expected that Anxin Keju could be established in this way.
They originally thought that the country was so open-minded after seeing the ancients, so they followed suit and built public welfare buildings, but they didn't expect there was such a secret behind it.
"Professor Duan? Is that a curse?" Luo Fang raised his hand and said.
"No," Professor Duan said, "it's not a curse, it's a real warning."
"We only found out later that all the objects inside were placed in a pattern, exactly as archaeologists would place things."
"It's as if the tomb owner is also an archaeologist, a senior archaeologist from a thousand years later, who knows the steps of our archaeological excavation well."
"When taking the items, if you make a mistake, the mechanism in the tomb will be activated, and everyone will be killed by the surrounding mechanisms."
"So, if the people who entered were tomb robbers instead of archaeologists, they would definitely not care about the words on the tombstone. Even if someone saw it, they would not believe it. Or if someone disobeyed the instructions and took things without permission during the archaeological excavation, wouldn't everyone die?!" a classmate said in surprise.
"That's exactly why this archaeological operation can be said to have been very smooth, but it can also be said to be fraught with danger."
When Professor Duan left, everyone was still talking about it.
But everyone has a common emotion towards the tomb owner - gratitude.
I didn’t expect that our ancestors more than a thousand years ago could still think of these poor students.
What Professor Duan didn’t say is that the text they processed and that cannot be seen clearly is actually modern simplified Chinese characters.
Everyone was horrified at the time.
After multiple confirmations, the existence of the time traveler was confirmed for the first time.
Even based on the placement of the other party's ancient artifacts, everyone suspected that this time traveler might be an archaeologist or archaeology student who traveled from their era.
The country met all the other party's requests and tried to find the existence of this person.
