Seeing that the archaeological team did not continue to approach the ancestral tomb of Liu Haiyang's family, Wolf Gouzi and the others didn't say anything, but these people are enough, on a hot day, sitting on the hot ground, just to guard this tomb?

The more Zhang Tianyuan looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

However, at this time, the Luo Yang shovel in his hand had already drilled deep into the ground, and when he reached a more laborious place, he could not be distracted.

I can feel that it is more than ten centimeters underground, and I have encountered very strong resistance, and I know that it should be a brick by feeling.

The stone is harder than the brick, and it can be felt, so Zhang Tianyuan can definitely be a brick.

He didn't call Li Jihong, because at this time, Li Jihong and Li Donghong had already gone around to the other side of the mountain, which was very troublesome.

He silently fed the earth qi into Luo Yang's shovel, and the brick was cut open as if it were tofu.

This work is really an individual job, no wonder Qin Feixue can't do it, let alone encounter bricks, even if it is not encountered, it is very difficult to drill down, the shovel goes down, and then pulls it up, and the semicircular shovel will carry soil of different colors and textures, this is the real effect of the Luo Yang shovel.

In fact, today's Luoyang shovel has been widely used in national infrastructure, scientific research and industry, and is not just a tool for archaeology or tomb robbing.

The use of the semi-cylindrical shovel can bring out the soil in the ground, and gradually dig a deep well with a diameter of about ten centimeters, which is used to detect the soil quality of the underground soil layer to understand whether there are ancient tombs underground.

This is the method that Zhang Tianyuan is using now, and this kind of work is really difficult. Let a girl like Qin Feixue do it, it will definitely not be possible.

But as long as you don't encounter bricks, stones, and the like. Basically, the further down you go, the more effort you saves. This is the same as the inertia after the car starts, and the same is true of the Luo Yang shovel, the further down it is, the more effort is saved.

What the user has to do is basically lift the shovel up, and as for the down, it is basically completely by inertia.

Zhang Tianyuan's ability to comprehend new things is very strong, which probably has something to do with his ability to imitate words. is also decent, Qin Feixue stood aside and became completely fine, and her small mouth was so surprised that she couldn't close it.

"I said Brother Tianyuan, you are faster than the electric Luo Yang shovel, I really doubt now that you have robbed tombs before. Qin Feixue said in surprise.

Because Zhang Tianyuan's speed is too fast, the time he spent in the twenty-meter-deep pit is only a quarter of that of others, so basically when the first pit of others has just been completed, he has already begun to dig the fourth pit.

In order to find the most accurate number jù. Zhang Tianyuan's every pit was explored to the limit, that is, 20 meters, and then the position was changed, but it was a pity that it was identified by Professor Li Mingguang. The soil was not cooked, so it was a failure, and the brick fragments were just modern bricks. It should be said that this place was originally also a mound, but it was later flattened. There was a brick inside that sealed the mouth of the coffin, but it happened to be touched by Zhang Tianyuan.

However, there are three pits in front of it. Zhang Tianyuan also found some tricks, but he saved a lot of work. For example, those experienced tomb robbers, they use their experience to determine what the Luo Yang shovel touches, and then they don't have to waste time by taking the Luo Yang shovel out at all.

Zhang Tianyuan doesn't have that much experience, but he has earthy energy, according to the different feelings of earthiness, he can already tell whether it is bricks, stones, cooked soil or raw soil, etc., and even whether the bricks are old bricks or new bricks.

In this way, you don't have to go up every time, and the time must be saved a lot.

Cooked soil, which is commonly known as five-flower soil.

When the coffin is sealed after burial, special soil is often used. Even the original soil backfilled at the top of the tomb is mixed with different layers of soil when digging the pit, and there are also some weeds and other things that are only on the ground, resulting in different soil colors.

This kind of soil is called "flower soil" in the archaeological world, and some people call it "five-flower soil" and "big flower soil", if you find "five-flower soil", it is basically a clue to find the ancient tomb.

The No. 1 tomb of Qin Gong was found because of the appearance of "flower soil". In 1976, a villager in a nearby village pushed a cart to pull soil, because everyone here has sheep, and this sheepfold needs to be mated with soil, otherwise it will be very wet, and the sheep will get sick, and in this way, a lot of dung can be produced, and they can go to the ground.

He just wanted to dig up some soil to pad the sheepfold, but found that some of the loess he shoveled out was very mixed in color, which was obviously different from the soil color in other places, some yellow and some red, and the soil was mixed with a lot of gravel, and the soil was very hard.

The villager didn't care at first, but it happened that there were workers from the archaeological team nearby, so he mentioned this strange thing to those people, and it happened that archaeological experts from the Shaanzhou Institute of Archaeology came to investigate, and based on experience, he concluded that there was something underground.

Soon, the archaeological team rushed to investigate the site, and sure enough, it was an ancient tomb, and it was not an ordinary ancient tomb, and Qin Jinggong, who had been sleeping for more than 2,000 years, was found.

Because the "five-flower soil" is easy to expose the target, the ancients also came up with a method, that is, when digging a burial pit, the excavated soil is stacked from the bottom to the top in different orders, and then backfilled when the soil is sealed, or simply chiseled out the soil from the side to backfill, and then the excavated soil is directly pulled to other places to be buried.

The tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty have not been found so far, which is directly related to the secret burial.

During the secret burial, the ancient people dug the pit very deep, but the soil could not be dug up, but had to be formed into blocks. The clods of soil should be carefully placed in order, and after the coffin is buried, the clods should be put back in their original position.

After such treatment, even the "Luo Yang Shovel", which the northern tomb robbers are good at, cannot detect abnormalities.

But the Han people didn't think so far, perhaps because there were many mechanisms and other things in the tombs, as if they were not afraid of tomb robbers. So not only is it not a secret burial, but it is also afraid that the world will not know. Wherever the burial place is, you can clearly identify it at a glance. Because of the special attention to feng shui, the burial place can be seen at a glance as long as someone who knows a little feng shui.

It's a pity that this kind of carelessness is intentional or unintentional. It provides tomb robbers with excellent targets and opportunities for tomb robbers, although the mechanism in the tomb is useful, but the tomb robbers come to die one after another, and the people behind occupy the light of the people in front, and the mechanism is no longer useful, so they can rest assured and boldly dig the grave.

In fact, if you see the "five flowers of soil", the probe or Luo Yang shovel down, and then see the white plaster mud, then there is an ancient tomb below is basically a sure thing. Of course, if it is a deliberately fake tomb, then you have been deceived, which means that the ancients still beat you.

White plaster mud, the more official term name is "microcrystalline kaolin", is a very pure clay, distributed in many places in China, but the quality of white plaster mud in Jing Dezhen Kaolin, Akalin Province is the best, hence the name "kaolin".

Kaolin soil is delicate and moist. It is very viscous, and the most significant feature is that it has low water permeability, which is the soil and chemical reason for the production of high-quality ceramics. Jingdezhen's ceramics are famous at home and abroad because of its good soil.

Why is kaolin also called white plaster? Because it is blue-gray when it is wet. Therefore, it is called green plaster mud, and after drying, it is white or blue-white, so it is called "white plaster mud".

According to modern scientific testing and analysis, white plaster mud is composed of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and other oxides. Because of the large viscosity, the molecules are tight. It has a magical antiseptic effect. The ancient Chinese discovered this property of white plaster clay very early, and the large tombs of the Qin and Han dynasties rarely used white plaster.

Among the mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty. White plaster clay has also been found, and it should be said that the later this clay goes, the less it is used, probably because it was used more to make zuò porcelain.

However, even if there is no white plaster, it is not difficult for the wisdom of these ancients, and they have also developed an artificial white plaster, which can also be used as a substitute.

The fourth pit didn't find anything, but the dirt he brought up this time had some obvious bone fragments in it, which was quite scary.

Professor Li Mingguang would first look at the soil when Zhang Tianyuan proposed the soil, and then smell it with his nose, it turned out that the soil of the tombs of different dynasties smelled differently, and even if it was close to the soil of the tomb, the smell would change.

Even if there is nothing special about the soil this time, you can tell if there is a change in the nearby soil by using these smells.

"Come, Tian Yuan, dig here. Li Mingguang walked to a position and asked Zhang Tianyuan to get off the shovel.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and began to dig the fifth cave.

Zhang Tianyuan knew that Li Mingguang should have discovered something, so when the shovel went down, he paid special attention to it, and his earth qi went down the shovel, and at the same time he also detected whether there were some different things under the cave, such as five-flower soil, white plaster mud, etc., so that he could judge whether there was a tomb below.

"Otherwise, let's rest first, you see that Jihong and Donghong are back, probably nothing to gain, and it's also quite laborious. "Li Mingguang also used the Luo Yang shovel when he was young, and he knew that this thing was not easy, basically three or four holes, and the man was so tired that he couldn't do it.

"No, I'm from a rural area, I'm in good health, and I used to work a lot at home, which is really nothing. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

Qin Feixue didn't know where to take a wet towel, wrung it out and wiped Zhang Tianyuan's sweat, which made Zhang Tianyuan blush a little, after all, this is summer, Qin Feixue is dressed very thinly, and when she gets closer, she can faintly see the thin chest sticker through her clothes.

Probably because it was too hot, Qin Feixue didn't wear a bra, she only used a bra sticker, and a man would immediately feel bloody when he saw it, not to mention that Qin Feixue, a little girl, was very beautiful.

"Alright, it's okay. Zhang Tianyuan took a deep breath and controlled his mind.

"Brother Tianyuan, you are really blessed, why didn't anyone wipe my sweat. Li Jihong had already put the electric Luo Yang shovel aside and squatted there to rest.

"Come, aunt wipes your sweat!" The aunt in the village on the side came up with a smile, and Li Jihong was so frightened that she quickly stood up and waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." ”

This scene made Qin Feixue tremble, and Li Jihong made a big red face.

"Ji Hongge, you are enough, you have only made two holes, and you are still using an electric one, look at Brother Tianyuan, you have started the fifth exploration with an ordinary Luo Yang shovel, you are embarrassed to say that you are tired." Qin Feixue said with a smile.

"You, you have been pampered since you were a child, you have never suffered hardship, and you are tired of a little work, which is indeed learning from Tianyuan. Li Mingguang also said. (To be continued......)
