Chapter 54 Archaeological Ceremony
"I've finished reading all ten books. It's time to call Professor Bai to ask."
Counting the books he had read these days, Wang Xiaoming had finished reading the books recommended by Professor Bai before he knew it.
He was thinking, and the phone in his hand had already been dialed.
Beep!
After the call was connected, the other side just picked up the call as soon as the first beep sounded.
"Professor Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?" Professor Bai's voice came from the receiver.
"It's like this, I've finished reading all ten books you recommended to me," Wang Xiaoming said directly, "I want you to recommend me some more related books."
Professor Bai's voice was a little unbelievable, "It's been less than ten days, you've finished reading all ten books?"
"I've finished reading."
"Okay, Professor Wang, it's not that I don't believe you, but your speed of reading is really amazing," Professor Bai thought for a while and said, "If you want to learn more about ancient history, then I will recommend you some specialized works. These works are detailed studies of some history, which are more professional and difficult to understand."
"No problem, just send the name directly." Wang Xiaoming said.
"Okay, okay, I'll take a look... Oh, by the way, I've also sorted out some books about foreign history, I'll send them to you!" There was a sound of pages turning over the phone.
"Okay, send them all," Wang Xiaoming said, "Also, do you know some ancient tombs that are very old? Developed or undeveloped, I want to visit them."
"Ancient tombs..." Professor Bai fell into deep thought. "Yes, can the Ming Tombs near Dajing City be considered?"
"Ming Tombs?"
"Yes, in Pingchang District..." Professor Bai talked about all the information about the Ming Tombs.
After listening to Professor Bai's story, Wang Xiaoming remembered that there was indeed a large imperial tomb around Dajing City, but he had never been there and didn't know much about it.
However, as the world's largest imperial tomb complex, it naturally met Wang Xiaoming's requirements.
At the same time, Wang Xiaoming also remembered the bronze lamp that the headquarters had obtained from the underground passage. This lamp came from a thousand years ago and was a supernatural item. It could be said to be an ancient artifact among ancient artifacts. If you do some archaeological research, you will surely gain a lot.
Not long after the call ended, Wang Xiaoming received a message from Professor Bai, which was a list of books. He forwarded the list to Cheng Yongqian, the logistics staff of the headquarters, and asked him to help buy it.
The reason for finding logistics is that the headquarters is located in a remote area, and there are road closures and checkpoints around it. Even if Wang Xiaoming buys it online, the courier can't deliver it.
As for finding ancient tombs, it is also to digest the magic potion of archaeologists. The necessity of archaeology can be seen from the name of the archaeologist.
He also learned historical knowledge to increase his foundation and pave the way for the current archaeological operations.
As for how to do archaeology? Extraordinary people naturally have extraordinary means.
When he was promoted to an archaeologist, he once obtained a small amount of ritual magic, one of which was a ritual used to perceive the historical atmosphere of ancient objects, which was called an archaeological ritual.
Through the archaeological ritual, Wang Xiaoming can sense the approximate years of the existence of the ancient objects and feel the historical weight of the ancient objects.
If combined with the identification spell, some hidden deeper information can be seen.
The Ming Tombs mentioned by Professor Bai met his archaeological requirements. The royal tombs were well preserved and buried more than one emperor. These emperors were all participants in major history and occupied the vast majority of historical weight.
If the entire tomb can be excavated, it is not impossible to digest the magic potion directly.
However,
"We still need to find Zhao Jianguo and contact the management unit of the Ming Tombs. After all, the real tombs of the Ming Tombs are not open to casual visitors."
"By the way, bring the bronze lamp."
At this time, the action meeting had just ended. Zhao Jianguo was about to contact the ghost riders and invite them to participate in the action.
He received a call from Wang Xiaoming. When he learned that the other party was going to the Ming Tombs, he agreed directly, "No problem, I'll arrange it."
"There is one more thing. Is the bronze lamp you promised to give me at the last headquarters meeting still there?" Wang Xiaoming said.
Bronze lamp?
Zhao Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly remembered this thing. At the headquarters meeting, he had promised Wang Xiaoming that he would give it to Wang Xiaoming for research after checking that there was no danger.
But later, there were too many things to do at the headquarters, so he forgot about it.
"It's still at the headquarters. If the professor needs it, I'll send someone to deliver it immediately."
"Send it here. I just have time to study it."
"Professor," Zhao Jianguo paused and said, "I forgot to tell you that the bronze lamp has lost its supernatural power and has become an ordinary item."
"?"
Soon, Wang Xiaoming received the bronze lamp.
He took the item to his private laboratory and cast an identification spell first,
'An ordinary bronze creation, once contained special supernatural power, but now it has dissipated. '
Sure enough, the bronze lamp has lost its supernatural power. Just as Zhao Jianguo said, after thousands of years, it was burned by ghost fire, and it was not surprising that it lost its supernatural power. After all, this thing is not a ghost.
What a pity!
Wang Xiaoming felt pity and regret for not being able to see the supernatural power of the bronze lamp. He was very curious about how the ghost riders more than a thousand years ago made hundreds of identical bronze lamps and used them to seal the ghosts in the underground passage.
Wang Xiaoming took out the bronze lamp and put it aside, then began to search through a pile of ritual materials in the laboratory.
"Professor, what are you looking for?" Li Jun saw it and wanted to help, but he didn't know how to start facing the colorful candles and materials with different smells.
"Don't worry about it, you don't know these things." Wang Xiaoming refused.
Li Jun had to step aside. He had never seen these strange materials before, and he might do more harm than good.
Wang Xiaoming was looking for ritual materials in order to prepare for an archaeological ceremony. Although he had never held this ceremony, he had already collected all the relevant ritual materials. This was also because he had the headquarters behind him and could send the list to the logistics department directly if he wanted anything.
Perhaps it was to facilitate archaeologists to prepare rituals in the field. This ritual magic was not complicated, and the materials used were easy to find. Wang Xiaoming quickly prepared the ritual materials.
He first told Li Jun to stay aside and not be disturbed.
Then he cleaned the tabletop of a workbench, spread a piece of pure black cloth on it, and lit two candles of different colors on it.
Sprinkle some fine sand and soil from deep underground in the center of the black cloth, place the bronze lamp to be examined, and then place an identification spell.
Finally, use a silver knife to set up the spiritual wall to isolate external influences.
The archaeological ceremony is completed.
Wang Xiaoming stands in front of the ceremony, bows his head slightly, and prays silently. His authority far away in the wilderness of knowledge is touched and responds. The ceremony begins, and his spirituality is aroused. Wang Xiaoming does not resist and uses his spirituality.
In a trance, he seems to have traveled through time and space and came to the era when the bronze lamp was born.
