Chapter 330: Luoyang Shovel
With that, we set up camp again near the hill. After the camp was completed, An Xiangfei and Mu Xiu went to the top of the hill to step on the mountain, while I sorted out some necessary equipment and tools at the campsite. Then he put the gold talisman on his neck again from his bag, anyway, this gold talisman is a thing to ward off evil spirits, of course, in front of their ancestors, they don't know if it's useful or not.
Makushu Xiangfei was busy on the mountain bag of the cemetery for a long time, and then disturbed around the sealed mound, and Makushu held a compass in his hand, and finally determined the entrance to the underground palace. Only then did they make a mark and return to the camp. That afternoon, the setting sun in the sky turned the surrounding clouds red, spreading them like blood. In less than a while, the sky was full of flying red glow, and the three of them were lying on the grass, facing the sunset, looking at the colorful glow. Although I was silent, my state of mind was completely different from yesterday.
Seeing the sun slowly descending in the western mountains, a evening breeze blowing, mixed with the warm air of the day, the three of us sat on the ground and sat outside the tent, in front of a stall, there were compasses, candles, and red ropes soaked in black dog blood. I took out the Immortal Sword from my bag and pinned it to my waist, looked at the white jade that Yu Ying gave me around my neck, and then looked at the touch gold talisman that was a little shiny. Makushu took out a red pen and drew various charms. Then he stuffed it into his wide pocket. Then An Xiangfei and I also drew a flame on each of our eyebrows, and he said that it was a yang fire spell that could prevent us from being invaded by some evil things. When he was done with our work, he drew the palms of his two hands. After a while, I saw a heavenly thunder spell drawn on the palm of a hand, and a swastika drawn on the palm of a hand. It looks like a profound way to the Tao.
An Xiangfei has been tinkering with a lot of explosives for all kinds of things, and then he actually took out a pistol and pinned it to his waist. I looked at it and laughed, "Your bullet is effective against people, but it doesn't have any effect on ghosts." Hearing me say this, An Xiangfei smiled mysteriously and said, "You think I'm stupid, look at what this is?" As he spoke, he took out a bullet, only to see that there was cinnabar on the bullet. The whole bullet was dyed bright red, and when he saw my surprised appearance, he said proudly: "This is what I got for me when I asked Mu Xiu to come, and my bullet has been cast, not an ordinary gun." After saying that, he proudly raised the bullet in his hand, which made me speechless for a while, and turned his head to look at Mu Xiu, but he was indifferent.
It was so busy, and soon the night fell, and in a short time the whole pasture was dark. Looking into the distance, I saw that it was far, far away, like fireflies, shimmering like fireflies, and there were a few glimmers of light. "We're ready to go." Makushu said.
So the three of them took their backpacks, and in order to avoid being noticed, under the reminder of the curtain repair, we walked towards the entrance of the dungeon that had been explored in advance. It wasn't until I went around the mountain and turned my back to the side of the pasture that I turned on the flashlight, and soon found a white marble with a white and immaculate appearance. And next to it is inserted a few dead branches, this is the afternoon curtain Xiu and An Xiangfei set the mark, according to the curtain Xiu, according to the curtain Xiu said, according to the holy dragon drinking hole tomb requirements is that the entrance of the underground palace must be open in the east, because there is living water in the east, so under the urging of feng shui luck, you can form a unique holy dragon drinking hole.
I found the entrance to the underground palace, and now the question is how to get in, just as I am moving towards how to get in, An Xiangfei on the side has already begun to act. I saw that he first took out a shovel, which is often called the Luoyang shovel in tomb robbery, and shoveled down for a long time in the marked position, during which he and the curtain two took turns to fight, and soon dug a large hole with a round hole with a diameter of one meter, and looked inside with a depth of nearly 2 meters. And the soil that was dug up was different from the soil that was dug at the beginning. It became maroon and seemed to be more sticky. Mu Xiu leaned down and looked into the cave for a moment, then got up and patted the soil on his knee and said, "It's almost." ”
When An Xiangfei heard this, he handed me the Luoyang shovel in his hand, and then said, "Put the shovel away, and then hide in a safe place." ”
I knew that An Xiangfei was going to carry out the blasting art of funds again, so he didn't say anything, he took this Luoyang shovel and walked towards a depression not far away, and found that this Luoyang shovel was much heavier than I imagined, and then look at the shape of this Luoyang shovel, it is obviously not the same as the one introduced in the book, but it has been modernized and improved by An Xiangfei, telescopic rod, and has become very small and easy to carry. Here I will first tell you what is the Luoyang shovel.
Luoyang shovel, also known as exploration shovel, is an archaeological tool, which is a half-cylindrical shovel. One section has a handle, which can be lengthened with an ash rod. When used, it pokes the ground vertically downward, uses a semi-cylindrical shovel to bring out the soil from the ground, and gradually digs a deep well with a diameter of about a few meters, which is used to detect the soil quality of the underground soil layer to understand whether there are ancient tombs underground.
Therefore, the Luoyang shovel is generally very popular with tomb robbers, because it is cheap and affordable compared to those detectors that are often tens of thousands or more expensive.
As for which talented person invented the Luoyang shovel, there are also different theories, among which the most said is that a clever tomb robber named Li Yazi invented it in the early 20th century. Around 1920, Li Yazi, a villager from Mapo Village, came to a place called Mengjin near his house to catch a market, and after a while, he squatted on the side of the road to rest. Li Yazi usually robs tombs for a living, so he often thinks about tomb robbing.
At this time, he saw a steamed bun shop not far from him, and the seller of steamed buns was preparing to make a small hole in the ground, and his tool for making a hole in the ground aroused Li Yazi's interest. Because he saw that every time this thing poked into the ground, it could bring up a lot of dirt. Li Yazi, who was experienced in tomb robbing, immediately realized that this thing was easier to probe the ancient tomb than the shovel he usually used, so he was inspired,
I made a paper pattern according to the tool, found a blacksmith to make a real thing according to the paper pattern, and the first Luoyang shovel was born. According to research, the blacksmith who created the first Luoyang shovel is called Chen Yinwa, who is now deceased.
Therefore, the wisdom of the working people is really not to be underestimated, because it is understood that the Luoyang shovel has played a great role in the silt rescue in many disaster relief and rescue efforts in recent years.
