Chapter 215: Chapter 170 No Wonder He's So Familiar with the Qilu Region (Five Thousand Word Chapter)_2



As everyone knows, even with modern technology, it is difficult to enter the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor without causing destruction.

This calls for ancient tomb-robbing techniques that have been passed down through generations.

That Touch Gold Captain was also given high regard by the archaeological team.

This makes it clear that the tomb-robbing techniques passed down from ancient times can play an unexpected role in the archaeological process.

Because many kings and generals were buried according to the geomancy of the earth's veins.

The lineage of tomb robbers specifically studied this aspect.

This is something that modern scientific instruments cannot replace.

Dragon-Seeking and Positioning is also a famous extraordinary skill within the tomb-robbing techniques.

"Regarding Dragon-Seeking and Positioning, I don't understand it, but later Lin Chuan took us to the supposed location of the tomb and started digging up the earth with an archaeological spade. He sniffed the soil and said this move is called..."

Old Yao instantly added, "The Art of Soil Sniffing from Observation, Listening, Inquiry, Pulse Taking!"

"Captain Yao also understands the Art of Soil Sniffing?" Qin Sisi was taken aback.

"A little bit."

Old Yao smirked, thinking to himself, how could I not understand? I dream of learning these skills!

Qin Sisi continued:

"Well, Lin Chuan smelled the soil, then tested the dampness of that spot and confirmed that it was where the tomb was located. We arranged for the workers to dig down, and sure enough, they found a layer of stone bricks."

"What a talent!" Old Yao was filled with a desire to recruit him.

"Captain Yao, he has another extraordinary skill," Qin Sisi praised Lin Chuan.

"Another extraordinary skill?"

Phew! Old Yao gasped in surprise.

"Yes, we dug from south to north following Lin Chuan's instructions and found the entrance to the tomb, but the entrance was blocked by a huge stone more than two meters high, immovable." Qin Sisi recalled.

"Generally speaking, the entrances to large tomb chambers are sealed off and difficult to penetrate." Old Yao nodded in agreement, "What did you plan to do?"

Qin Sisi thought for a moment and said, "Our archaeological expert was planning to cut a hole through the giant stone with a stone cutter and then go inside, but Lin Chuan didn't agree."

"Did Lin Chuan have another method?" Old Yao frowned and asked.

"Yes, he stuck two fingers into two small holes in the stone gate, and then the stone gate opened," Qin Sisi said seriously with pursed lips.

"Double Finger Probe!"

Old Yao's eyes bulged, and his voice rose several decibels; he felt like standing up, but considering his image, he took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

"Is Double Finger Probe that powerful?" Qin Sisi couldn't help but ask, seeing Old Yao's reaction.

"Of course, it is powerful!" Old Yao slowly recovered his composure and replied.

'Dragon-Seeking and Positioning' and 'Art of Soil Sniffing' could still be compensated for with experience and intuition.

But 'Double Finger Probe' is nearly an ultimate skill among the Touch Gold Captains.

The kind that is almost lost.

The lineage of tomb raiders has always had a high mortality rate.

And 'Double Finger Probe,' with its high demands for finger length, strength, and sensitivity, has led to this ultimate skill being without successors.

Insiders appreciate the expertise, while outsiders watch in amusement.

Old Yao stood on the threshold, listening to Qin Sisi describe how Lin Chuan opened the stone gate with two fingers.

Mentioned in an offhand way.

But he knew it contained an immense wealth of knowledge in mechanical techniques, along with keen perception and extraordinary courage.

"Sisi, your friend is quite remarkable!" Old Yao deeply sighed in the end.

"I didn't know he had these skills," Qin Sisi smiled.

"Is your friend interested in joining our archaeological team?" Old Yao finally couldn't resist extending an offer.

Qin Sisi's face showed a touch of regret: "I asked him to dinner the other night; he was not willing to join the archaeological team, plus he is in business now, he owns an Antique Shop."

"An Antique Shop, huh?"

A trace of wistfulness flickered in Old Yao's eyes.

"Yes." Qin Sisi nodded.

"It's a pity. If he would join our archaeological team, we would have a candidate for the vice leader of team nine." Old Yao sighed with a sense of loss.

"To make him vice leader?" Qin Sisi asked in surprise.

Old Yao shook his head and chuckled, "I would be the vice leader, and have him be the team leader!"

Qin Sisi's eyebrows knit tightly at Old Yao's words, her pupils shaking slightly.

Old Yao was willing to let Lin Chuan be the team leader and he would be the vice.

Phew!

She had thought Lin Chuan was impressive, but she never imagined he was that impressive.

If she had known, she would have stayed a few more days in Anling City to ask more about his tomb-robbing techniques.

Pfft!

Archaeological techniques!

What a pity, Lin Chuan's interest in archaeology wasn't strong, maybe he just considered it a leisure time hobby.

"By the way, Sisi, you mentioned he writes archaeological novels. Which one is it?" Old Yao inquired again.

"He hasn't published it yet." Qin Sisi said with a beaming smile.

"Is that so."

Old Yao's thoughts drifted away from the Han Dynasty Grand Tomb and Lin Chuan as he looked at Qin Sisi, advising, "Sisi, according to our team nine's plan, we will depart for the Qilu Region on July 3rd. We will enter the area near Linyi and then venture deep into the Taiyi Mountain Range. There, marked on our obtained ancient maps, is a Great Tomb from the Pre-Qin period.

Be sure to prepare thoroughly in these two days."

"Understood!" Qin Sisi nodded earnestly.

"Alright, you've just reported for duty. I'll have our staff take you to get familiar with the workflow and the division of labor. Our archaeological team doesn't adhere to particular customs," Old Yao said.
