Chapter 278: Digging a Treasure

Sun Zhongyuan pointed to the hillside, "Let's go, go up and have a look!"

The two came to the top of the hillside, and Sun Zhongyuan looked at it carefully, "This area is not small, and the workload of visiting the tomb is too large, so we can't do it this time, I'm afraid we can only take a look." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Hmm. In this place, the imperial tomb is impossible, and the possibility of the royal tomb is not very large. However, in an ordinary mountain, there is such a special feng shui place hidden that ordinary people may not be able to find it. If there is a tomb, the name may not be very large, but there may not be a shortage of rare treasures!"

Speaking of this, Chen Danyang's eyes lit up again, "There shouldn't have been a passive here!" But we definitely can't. If you want to talk about tomb visiting, it is still the tiger master's professional! I look at the Luoyang shovel of the sunspot, which is different from what I have seen before!"

Sun Zhongyuan looked at the hillside, "It seems that this place should not be a tomb of the same period as the Qilin Tomb." ”

"Yes, this excellent feng shui is derived after the burial of the fire qilin, and it is unlikely that it will be discovered immediately at the same time, and after the fire qilin is buried, Lu Aigong will definitely send someone to guard it. After the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been burial mounds, and there are no mounds here, which means that it is a secret burial, and the setting should be very special!"

This point is the consensus of the archaeological community, the tombs before the Spring and Autumn Period were basically raised from the ground, and the mound-type tombs were popularized from the late Spring and Autumn Period or even later.

Moreover, in the early days, there would not have been so many mechanisms, at most it was a grave of stone and sand - that is, the burial chamber was filled with fine sand, not soil, and the fine sand would be mixed with stones. In this way, the fluidity of the fine sand and the gravity of the stones can easily cause landslides, and it is difficult for tomb robbers to enter the tomb by digging tunnels.

Later, the mechanism of the tomb was increased, and although it was possible to enter the tomb without collapsing, the difficulty and danger did not decrease.

At the bottom of this hillside, the age of the tomb is unknown, so you have to be very careful to explore it. Now it seems that they have never been touched, and with the special circumstances, they can't act rashly.

"Okay, let's do it first. The car is still parked in the village, don't arouse any suspicion, go back to the county seat and live before discussing. Sun Zhongyuan said.

Chen Danyang nodded in agreement, and the two left the valley and returned to the village.

When the two were about to get into the car, several men with hoes ran past them, and said as they ran, "Hurry up, if you go late, the good things will be gone!"

Immediately afterwards, a few more people followed, and several of them ran over to watch the excitement.

They looked at each other, and then a few more children followed. The children ran and screamed, as if some old Wang family had dug up a treasure at the foot of the mountain.

"Let's go!" Chen Danyang said to Sun Zhongyuan, and immediately followed suit.

They followed the villagers to a flat land at the back of the village, a hundred and ten meters from the foot of the mountain, on the side of a vegetable field, next to the path, the terrain was slanted and low, and the potholes were uneven, and there was no cultivation of the land.

At this time, there were already a lot of people around, this vegetable field belonged to Lao Wang's family, but the field on one side was not, so I heard that Lao Wang and his family dug up something, and the other villagers were not ambiguous and dug up around.

The place where Lao Wang and his wife dug up exposed the green bricks, and the top was basically open, which was a round green brick underground "small house". The reason why I say this is because it is obviously not a tomb, because this "small room" has a diameter of about one meter, and it cannot fit a coffin at all.

The height up and down is not high, not even a meter.

From the open "roof", you can see the structure inside, and the bottom of the blue brick "small house" is also paved with a layer of green bricks, and there is a small square "pool" enclosed in the middle. Presumably, the things that Lao Wang and his wife took from it were originally placed in this "pool".

At the bottom of this "pool", there is also fine white sand, it seems, the sand layer should be very deep, it has been dug out a lot, and the bottom has not yet been seen. The rest of the floor is paved with green bricks.

Lao Wang's wife was holding a woven bag, which was not big, and it was such a small woven bag, it didn't look bulging, and the thing didn't seem big. Lao Wang stood in front of his wife. However, they couldn't leave for a while, because several old ladies had already surrounded them and asked questions.

Lao Wang and his family didn't want to say it. There was even an old lady who got started, bypassed Lao Wang, and pulled the woven bag with one hand, "I don't rob you, my man is also digging, can't you open your eyes?"

In the surrounding area, at least seven or eight men with hoes were digging, and they were doing a great job, as if they could dig up the same blue brick "small houses" around.

At this time, no one cared about Sun Zhongyuan and Chen Danyang, the two bystanders.

Lao Wang and his family were surrounded by a few chattering old ladies, and the expression on their faces was more ugly than crying. Just now, a villager passed by and didn't say anything, but when he returned to the village, it spread like a loudspeaker.

In the end, Lao Wang's daughter-in-law opened the woven bag and took out the contents of it, but she was holding it with Lao Wang, and she was really afraid that others would rob her.

It turned out to be a stone carving.

Slightly larger than an adult's fist, it is carved with a mouse.

The stone is delicate, black and red, the carving is exquisite, vivid, the rat head is slightly larger, and it looks clever and lovely.

"Look, it's a lump of stones. It just so happens that Lao Wang belongs to the rat, so let's take it back and use it as an ornament!" said Lao Wang's wife to a few old ladies.

A few old ladies naturally couldn't understand it. It was not gold or silver, it was a stone, and I suddenly lost a little interest.

Lao Wang and his wife glanced at each other, and then put the stone carving rat into the woven bag.

"Let me go, if you want to dig, keep digging. Lao Wang began to walk out, and a few old ladies were not easy to stop at this time.

After the two of them left, several old ladies walked up to their men and directed the excavation work. However, no one dug up the bricks.

A man came to the place where Lao Wang had dug again, went down to the blue brick "small house", and dug up in the white sand of the small square "pool". A large pile of fine white sand, more than a foot deep, was dug up, exposing the soil, but still nothing was found.

Sun Zhongyuan and Chen Danyang saw that there was nothing useful left, so they walked to the side of the road in the distance.

"What kind of material is that stone carving?" asked Chen Danyang.

"This stone carving is made of water stones. ”

"What is a waterstone?"

"To put it simply, it's a quartzite-bearing stone. The mountain mine collapsed, and the stone was washed by the river, which was relatively moist, and was collectively called the water stone. There are many places, and the colors are also diverse, and in the Hetian jade production area, the locals also call kava stone. Sun Zhongyuan explained, "The composition of the water stone is not the same, there are soft and hard, this is a soft water stone, easy to carve. ”

"What about the age?"
