Lin Yi is the kind of person who itches when he sees the "rare books" and can't wait to fly over directly, the Cultural Relics Bureau and the archaeological team are also pressed for time, and the order is issued below, and they have to seize the time to complete it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So Lin Yi and the others drove straight to the inner countryside.

Neixiang is more than 130 miles away from Nandu, and it can be reached in about two or three hours by car.

Along the way, everyone was dusty, and halfway through, they also ate rabbit meat in a game shop, drank Liu Ji's old rice wine, and only then did they go on the road again after they were full of wine and food.

In fact, only Zhang Boyuan, Captain Zhang and Ye Qiu, the archaeological team member, went with Lin Yi this time. As for Director Shen, the nobles are busy and busy with work, so they don't have to worry about this kind of affairs that travel hundreds of miles.

As for Old Man Sun, he originally wanted to open his eyes, but he was also busy with work and couldn't leave, so there were actually only three of them in the entire rushing team.

Ye Qiu drove, and Captain Zhang and Lin Yi sat in the back chattering. This captain Zhang has experienced a lot of things, especially about the story of archaeological tomb robbery, which is more terrifying than reading tomb robbery novels.

He said that once the big guy went down to an ancient tomb, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything. I didn't dare to turn on the light for a while, and when my eyes were almost used to the darkness, I turned on the flashlight, but I didn't expect to see a colorful big poisonous snake at a glance.

But fortunately, the poisonous snake seemed to have a full stomach, and it was not uncommon for them to take a few glances, and then they slipped away. However, the team members don't think so, the whole archaeological work is delayed, and everyone is afraid that when they are busy, the poisonous snake will come out and bite you again. It wasn't until an experienced old man brought realgar wine and smoked it around with the smell of wine that the archaeology began.

……

Lin Yi listened to what the captain said; Seeing that Lin Yi was a good listener, this captain Zhang was even more willing to chat with him. Then he took another puff of cigarette and talked to Lin Yi about several devices for anti-theft of ancient tombs

Captain Zhang asked Lin Yi, do you know what "Xuanhuo Cave" is? Lin Yi said he didn't know.

Captain Zhang is a little pretentious, saying that the "Xuanhuo Cave" is a kind of mechanism to prevent tomb robbery, and it is said that it can shoot out a huge fireball, or a long fire dragon, most people think that this is just a novelist's fabrication, so does the Xuanhuo Cave really exist?

Captain Zhang sold a pass, and then said that this kind of thing is true, and he has been working for so many years, and he has encountered everything and heard of everything.

It is said that in 1972, people near Changsha, Hunan Province were preparing to build war readiness fortifications on a small mountain, when digging the foundation and drilling, the drill bit drilled into the hole, and choking gas came out of the borehole, just a worker was striking a match on the side to smoke, and the result was a "bang", a fireball exploded in the air, and then I saw a blue and red flame, like a snake "whooping" and spewing out of the borehole. Some people thought they had encountered some legendary monster, but the old man present said that this is the legendary "Xuanhuo Cave", but in real life, it is called the Fire Cave Tomb. Later, the famous Mawangdui Xin Tomb was found here.

So what is the principle of the Fire Cave Tomb? It is well known that in the process of decay of organic matter, in the absence of oxygen, a large amount of combustible gas --- methane, that is, biogas. In the case of a particularly well sealed burial chamber, especially if the coffin is tightly sealed, the gas collects in the coffin for a long time, and when the coffin is suddenly opened, if the biogas encounters an open flame, of course, it will ignite at all. This is what is often referred to as a fire cave in tomb robbing. Although digging a fire hole is very dangerous, many gravediggers are very willing to touch the fire hole, and the presence of a fire hole indicates that the tomb is well preserved.

……

Captain Zhang talked eloquently to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi listened even more fascinated. What is called "threesomes must have my teacher". That's right, Lin Yi may have some ability in the identification of ancient books, but in terms of ancient tomb excavation, this Captain Zhang is a great expert.

Not to mention that Lin Yi admired Captain Zhang so much, even Ye Qiu, who was in charge of driving, shouted for Captain Zhang to tell more stories about this.

Captain Zhang said with a smile, this is not a story, these are all empirical talks, and it is the knowledge that many people have exchanged for their lives, if you only listen to stories, then he will live in vain.

Lin Yi hurriedly said, no, since it is all about experience, then they are adhering to the attitude of learning, and asked Captain Zhang to teach more useful knowledge.

After his vanity was satisfied, Captain Zhang began to play tricks again, asking Lin Yi and Ye Qiu, "Have you heard of corpse poison?" ”

Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, Captain Zhang continued to speak---

I believe that those who have watched Hong Kong zombie movies will have a deep impression of corpse poison, people infected with corpse poison will not only have ulcerated skin and lose feeling, but also have stiff muscles all over the body and become a living jumping corpse. It is said that this kind of thing can only be removed with glutinous rice, cinnabar and other items, and ordinary medicines are useless to it at all. It is also mentioned many times in many tomb robbing novels that tomb robbers will bring a lot of protective equipment when entering the ancient tomb to prevent being infected with the terrible corpse poison. So does corpse poison really exist in reality?

It is said that at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a group of tomb robbers in Luoyang, headed by the surname Zhu, this person had a nickname called "Zhu lacquer face", why did he have this nickname, it turned out that he encountered a strange thing when he was digging the Yongchang Mausoleum of Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty: after he pried open the coffin, he found that Zhao Kuangyin's body was not decomposed, and he wanted to take off the jade belt tied to Zhao Kuangyin's body, but the body was too heavy to take it hard, so he came up with a way, the rope was tied under the corpse's shoulder, and the other end was put on his body, facing the corpse to pull up, Take advantage of the situation to untie the jade belt. Unexpectedly, the corpse sprayed a stream of black slime on his face, which could not be washed off from this time. It became a "vermilion face". This is a special kind of legend about corpse poison in history books. So what's going on? It is said that in order to prevent embalming, the ancients often took highly toxic drugs before death, which helped to preserve the corpse. This highly toxic drug corrodes the entire internal organs in the human body, turning it into a liquid and remaining in the body. When a tomb robber moves a corpse, the body is squeezed, and the liquid will spray out of the mouth, which will burn the skin, forming the so-called "vermilion face".

……

Lin Yi was skeptical about the story of this corpse poison, and Ye Qiu, the archaeological team member who was driving, said, "Team Zhang, your story is a bit suspenseful, the Xuanhuo Cave just now is quite reasonable, what kind of corpse poison is this--- you shouldn't have watched too much of Lin Zhengying's movies, right?" ”

Captain Zhang smiled, he was used to joking with these subordinates before, and he didn't care about his piercing bones, so he said: "Xiao Yezi, Xiao Yezi, you have only been in the archaeological team for a few days, and you don't believe it after telling you." Come on, I'll tell you a real --- 'quicksand machine crossbow', you should have heard of this, right? ”

This also aroused Lin Yi's interest, because Lin Yi had seen the ancient anti-theft device of "quicksand machine crossbow" in many books. But what is the specific, let's listen to what Captain Zhang has to say first.

Here, Captain Zhang said that ten years ago, he encountered a machine crossbow in the process of excavating an ancient tomb. It was when he came across the excavation of the tomb of Guo Zhuang Chu in Shangcai County, Henan Province, which used a peculiar anti-theft technique. When the grave robbers dig a hole to dig into the sand layer, the sand will flow into the hole, and the sand flow will drive the stone to collapse, and the sand layer is carefully buried with stones, the smallest is only 3 kilograms, and the largest is 165 kilograms. The stones come in a variety of shapes, with sharp edges and corners, and the placement of the stones is well designed. It can be roughly divided into chaotic stone layer, capstone layer, capstone layer, waist stone layer and undercover stone layer, which can prevent thieves from entering from different parts. After the collapse of the top floor of the burial chamber, a large amount of life was piled up in the coffin, which effectively prevented theft.

……

As the saying goes, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and Lin Yi felt this way at this time.

However, when Lin Yi was thinking about these stories, he saw Ye Qiu, who was in charge of driving, slowing down the car, and the car staggered into a remote lane.

The road was rough and bumpy, as if walking towards the mountains, and it seemed that the destination was about to be reached. (To be continued.) )
