"A few little comrades, you just stay on the mountain and don't let people come up......"
After resting for a while, Professor Meng began to divide the work, the few armed police soldiers guarded the top of the mountain, while the rest were busy choosing the right rocks and trees to tie ropes to them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhuang Rui was still the first time to carry out field archaeological excavations, and he was a little excited in his heart, and after taking off the bundle of ropes he was carrying, he found a large stone weighing thousands of catties and was trapped in the soil, and tied it to it, and pulled it with his hand, which should be able to hang his own weight.
"Xiaozhuang, you need to add a cushion to the edges and corners......"
Professor Meng naturally didn't need to use his hands, he walked back and forth to watch other people's preparations, and when he walked to Zhuang Rui, he stopped and took out a few soft leather cushions from the bag on the ground.
Seeing Zhuang Rui's somewhat puzzled look, Professor Meng laughed and said, "Hehe, this is for fear that the edges and corners of the stone will break the rope, be careful, add it inside......"
"Thank you, teacher......"
Zhuang Rui only then knew what the bag was for, and the teacher had already thought of this stubble and had made preparations in advance, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face, and he still had a lot to learn.
The weather in May is already very hot, and there are relatively few trees on the top of the mountain, several armed police officers have begun to set up tents, and depending on Professor Meng's meaning, he also has the idea of living here.
After a while, he threw four ropes from the top of the mountain to the cliff at the back of the mountain.
"Okay, Da Niu, you go down first, determine the direction, Xiao Ren follows, and then I will go down to Xiaozhuang, you ...... last"
As for Erniu, Professor Meng didn't arrange for him to go to the tomb at all, Erniu was too reckless, in case something happened when he was detecting the tomb, Professor Meng couldn't explain it to his fellow countrymen.
According to Professor Meng's thoughts, the tomb of the Da Niu brothers is only revealing the tip of its iceberg, and whether there is an organ behind it is uncertain, you must know that the wisdom of the predecessors should not be underestimated.
This mountain is also very strange, on one side there is a gentle slope overgrown with trees, and on the other side there is a cliff with a slope of nearly 90 degrees, which is 70 or 80 meters high.
Hao Long was also left on the top of the mountain, only a few people brought by Professor Meng plus the local staff, a group of eight people went down, archaeological excavation is different from other work, and it must be done by someone who knows how to do it himself.
This is also a special situation, otherwise, the bull can not enter the archaeological site, such as when the open excavation, the last invited villagers, must be isolated, this is to prevent the cultural relics from being taken away.
You know, a large tomb often unearthed tens of thousands of cultural relics, if there are many people cluttered, quietly touch a few small pieces, it is also difficult to be revealed.
"Teacher, I'm in good health, let's go first......"
Zhuang Rui knew that Professor Meng took care of himself, and the first person had to find a good place to stay, and the last person to go down was the safest.
"You don't have experience, so it's ...... arranged"
Professor Meng waved his hand to interrupt Zhuang Rui's words, and the person had already walked to the edge of the cliff to observe the terrain downward.
"What are you doing with this Raush thing? grab a rope and get down............"
Da Niu muttered and walked over, he was a little unaccustomed to the climbing tools used by the archaeological team, and the protective belt like briefs was very awkward to wear.
After all, the big bull's movements are still very sharp, after fastening the rope on the alloy lock on his waist, he grabbed the rope with both hands and slipped away, and the whole person disappeared on the edge of the cliff.
When he was nearly forty meters down, the figure of the big cow suddenly disappeared, Zhuang Rui glanced at it with a telescope, and where the big cow's figure disappeared, a low crooked neck tree grew.
"Hey, come down, it's ...... here"
The big bull stuck out his head and shouted at the cliff, and Dr. Ren had already hooked up and fell down.
In fact, the cliff looks steep, but there is still a foothold, plus there is a rope to support the body, carrying most of the weight, basically there is no danger, Professor Meng is very easy to get under.
Dr. Ren's task was the heaviest, because he had to carry the small diesel exhaust fan that Zhuang Rui carried up the mountain, which weighed more than 40 kilograms, and only sent the exhaust fan down with the help of a staff member.
When Zhuang Rui stepped on the tree that grew in the crack of the rock wall, a one-meter-square hole appeared in front of him, and there were still many vines growing at the entrance of the cave, but they were all cleared by the people who came down first.
Zhuang Rui really admires the two brothers, looking at the rise of this vine, the entrance to the cave must have been blocked at first, so that the two brothers can appear in this ancient tomb, it is really not an ordinary person.
With the help of Dr. Ren, Zhuang Rui climbed into the cave, the entrance of the cave is not big, but the inside is very wide, Zhuang Rui looked up, the height of the cave should be about two meters two or three.
The rock wall next to the cave has no traces of knife and axe excavation, it should be a natural cave, it is estimated that more than 1,000 years ago, the people who were specially used to explore the tomb for the royal exploration of feng shui also hung a fly rope from the top of the mountain, and only appeared here, right?
Many emperors have just ascended the throne, began to prepare their own mausoleums, often a mausoleum to be built, to last for thirty or forty years, like the imperial mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, almost all the strength of the country, but this also for the Qin Dynasty II and finally buried a hidden danger.
"Everyone has arrived, right? Alright, Da Niu, you can take us to that tomb......
After Zhuang Rui came down, Professor Meng counted the personnel and asked the big bull walking in front to turn on the lights, and there was light at the entrance of the cave, but after walking in for more than ten meters and turning a corner, it became pitch black.
Since the excavation was carried out in the mountain, the archaeological team had a light with a battery in hand, and when the light was turned on, the cave immediately became bright.
Walking in the cave, Professor Meng suddenly said: "This is not the entrance to the tomb, but the tomb happened to be built in this place......
Although the cave is very high, it is relatively narrow, and only two people can be used at the same time, which is difficult to excavate for a large tomb, and the cave is rocky on both sides, and it is impossible to fill it later.
When they reached the first stone gate, everyone stopped, and Professor Meng asked Da Niu to lean back and stepped forward to inspect himself.
"You, you are evil, such a beautiful stone gate, how ............ Alas......"
Professor Meng stroked the stone gate with both hands, which was about two meters high and three meters wide, with a look of regret on his face.
There are two beasts carved on this stone door, neither lions nor tigers, with protruding eyes, a stone ring hanging from their mouths, staring at the group of people in front of the door, lifelike, and everyone can't tell what kind of animal it is.
Zhuang Rui and others who followed behind could see that the upper half of the stone gate was one meter square, and someone smashed a hole open, no need to ask, this is designated as the masterpiece of the Da Niu brothers.
"Ahem, this door was buried in the soil at that time, and we opened it to see that it was a stone, so we smashed it open............ "Da Niu looked a little ashamed and explained curtly.
It turned out that when they appeared at this door, the beast relief below was not revealed, but Er Niu looked at the smooth stone and this cave was a little different, so he knocked it with a hammer, but he didn't expect a hollow transmission.
People are curious, and they are in Dengshan, to say that they don't know what the ancient tomb is, it is pure nonsense, so the two brothers returned home to find an axe and a hammer with the intention of robbing the tomb, and came here again and smashed the stone gate open.
However, the hammer of the two brothers is likely to open up a mystery through the ages, so that the history that has been sealed for thousands of years will reappear in people's sight.
Zhuang Rui took the camera and filmed it in all directions at the stone gate, he was the first time to participate in the on-site archaeology, and Professor Meng arranged for him to take pictures of the work and record the archaeological excavation process in this book.
Professor Meng observed the door, and muttered to himself, "No, this is not the entrance to the tomb, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be a stone door?"
After holding a wooden clip in his hand and gesturing on the stone door for a while, Professor Meng's face showed a dark color of relief.
"This should be called a windshield wall, not a stone gate, you see, the gap in the middle is actually fake, this is a whole stone ......" Professor Meng carefully observed for a while, and then came to a conclusion.
Generally, at the end of the tomb road, there will be a horizontal stone weighing 1,000 catties to block the road, but this tomb is made of stone slabs that are not really thick, probably thinking about being close to the rock wall, and it will not be seen, right?
"Xiao Li, you go to the entrance of the cave and turn on the blower, and then stay there, let's use the walkie-talkie to contact ......"
After drilling into the stone door, the air inside became poor, although it was not difficult to breathe, but a rotten smell, people couldn't stand it, as the blower sent fresh air in, everyone felt that they breathed smoothly.
"Over...... This is a masonry road?"
After entering the tomb from the destroyed stone gate, Professor Meng was obviously taken aback, behind the stone gate was a section of Yongdao, the ground was paved with wide bluestone, and on the edge of the bluestone, there were two drainage channels more than ten centimeters wide.
More than 2,000 years ago, people are no worse than modern people in terms of wisdom, they have taken into account the destruction of the tomb by stagnant water, and both sides of the road are carved with stone slabs full of reliefs, on which are mostly human figures, although the lines are simple, but the strokes are clear, orderly, looking at the people wearing high hats and long clothes on the rock wall, Zhuang Rui seems to return to ancient times.
"The eyebrows of this corridor are the draining ......"
Professor Meng walked and observed, and soon came to the second stone gate, this stone gate was much thicker than the previous one, Zhuang Rui then took a cursory look at the light, it was thirty or forty centimeters thick.
