Chapter 389: How to Use the Luoyang Shovel

Niu Ping stood up, his body stood up straight, his legs were slightly forked, the hole that was opened just now was between his legs, the Luoyang shovel that had no rod had been installed with a straight rod, held the rod with both hands, put it on his chest, lifted it gently, and then naturally went down.

"Smack...... Bang...... Bang...... Smack......"

Fang Ming noticed that when Niu Ping used the Luoyang shovel, in addition to the horizontal and vertical, there were two very important characteristics, first, he never seemed to have afterburner, when the Luoyang shovel hit the place, the power generated when the weight of the Luoyang shovel itself fell down, simply put, what Niu Ping did was to lift the Luoyang shovel, and then let go and let it fall down, and insert as much as he could into the soil, maintaining the rhythm and not messing up at all; The second is when he shovels, the first shovel is changed to a different angle, for example, the first shovel is facing east, the second shovel is facing south, the third shovel is facing west, the fourth shovel is facing north, and then repeating, so a circular hole appears.

Fang Ming's eyes widened, and he watched Niu Ping's movements without blinking, Niu Ping is a master of tomb robbery, Luoyang shovel must have something special in his hands, this is what he should pay attention to, after all, for a person who uses Luoyang shovel, the depth that a master can hit is naturally different from the depth of ordinary people.

It's all about the details, especially for a small hole like this.

"Smack...... Bang...... Bang = one = book ~ read = novel = ybdu...... Smack......"

The voice repeated monotonously, half a day had passed, but this voice was still the same, the more Fang Ming looked at it, the more he admired, this alone was not something that ordinary people could do.

Two times at a time, ten times or eight times, an hour and so on, it is estimated that many people can do it, but after half a day, Niu Ping can still maintain it, which is not a simple matter.

"Niu Lao, let me try?"

Fang Ming saw Niu Ping's side, and after looking at it for a long time, he believed that he basically knew the way to use the Luoyang shovel, and wanted to try it himself.

"Okay."

Niu Ping handed the Luoyang shovel to Fang Ming, but he didn't walk away, but stood aside.

Fang Ming took a deep breath, held the rod of the Luoyang shovel with both hands like Niu Ping did before, gently lifted it up, and then let go, the Luoyang shovel fell down with a "whoosh", and after hitting the soil, it made a slight "bang" sound, and when he lifted it, Fang Ming noticed that the shovel head immediately brought out a handful of soil, and there were a lot of them.

This Luoyang shovel is quite good!

The purpose of the Luoyang shovel is to judge the underground situation by the soil brought out by the shovel head, so whether the Luoyang shovel can bring out the soil has become a standard to measure whether it is a good Luoyang shovel. The Luoyang shovel is well made, the portion is full, and it can be "eaten" into the soil when it lets go down, this is because after reaching a certain depth, it is impossible to use hand power to punch holes, mainly to use the strength generated by the weight of the Luoyang shovel itself, at the same time, the arc of the shovel head of the Luoyang shovel must be enough, or even if it can be hit into the day, it can not bring out the soil, so that one is the hole can not go down, the soil is plugged, and the other is even if it can be beaten, the soil of each soil layer is mud together, There is no way to accurately judge the condition of each soil layer.

But at this time, the Luoyang shovel in Fang Ming's hand was completely different, as soon as his hand was loosened, it quickly fell down, and when he "ate" into the soil, he felt that it seemed to be very sharp, as if it had entered all at once, which showed that its weight was sufficient. At the same time, the soil brought out was tightly eaten in the shovel, and it did not fall off at all after it was raised!

It's important to make sure that all the dirt is brought out so that there is no excess dirt in the hole.

Looking at it, Niu Ping nodded lightly, Fang Ming's learning ability is too strong, the Luoyang shovel seems simple, but it is not easy to make qualified holes, the most important thing is of course to be vertical, and there is no way for people who have not been trained to do this.

He knew that Fang Ming had never touched the Luoyang shovel before, but at this time, except for a little rustiness at the beginning, he was quickly very proficient, loosening, lifting, and gently knocking the soil on the ground...... All the movements quickly form a steady rhythm, and it seems to be flowing smoothly, which is really rare.

What's even more rare is that the hole made by Fang Ming is completely vertical, which Niu Ping, who has many years of experience, knows at a glance.

In fact, for tomb robbers or archaeologists, when using the Luoyang shovel to punch holes, they often hit the "plum blossom hole", that is, a hole around each side, a hole in the middle, if the hole is not vertical, often hit the last two holes will meet together, so that these two holes are wasted. A truly vertical hole can be used to reflect sunlight with a flashlight or a mirror, all of which can go directly to the bottom of the hole!

"Good! Not bad! Pretty good! Go on! ”

Seeing that Fang Ming was able to make a good hole, Niu Ping also walked aside to rest, he was old, of course it was good not to do such a thing, after all, this was quite a waste of energy.

"Hey, Grandpa Niu, why don't I make a hole too?"

Zhao Zhuzi also came over, and the Luoyang shovel he brought out this time was not just a set.

"Okay!"

If you want to accurately check the situation underground, just a hole is not enough at all, Niu Ping found a place ten meters away from Fang Ming for Zhao Zhuzi, but compared with Fang Ming, a genius who can see it at a glance, Zhao Zhuzi is not so easy to learn, as a result, Niu Ping spent nearly two hours to teach Zhao Zhuzi how to use the Luoyang shovel, and even so-so the hole he made was just so-so.

When he returned to Fang Ming's side, Niu Ping found that the pole of about two meters had basically reached the end, which meant that it had already hit two meters deep into the ground at this time.

"Old Niu, this pole is over, what should I do next?"

Niu Ping didn't speak, but walked to Fang Ming's side and squatted down to carefully look at the soil that Fang Ming had beaten out. Although it is in the middle of a desert, the soil layer is not sand, but a kind of black soil. Niu Ping soon discovered that the soil that Fang Ming had beaten out with the Luoyang shovel was always black.

"Fang Ming, the Luoyang shovel is mainly to see the soil brought out."

Fang Ming stopped what he was doing, he knew that Niu Ping was teaching himself experience, why didn't he put his ears up immediately?

"If the soil you brought out is the same as the soil you originally made, including the same color, density, composition, etc., then there are no graves underground. This is because if there is a grave, then there must be a place where the excavated soil and the filled soil have been dug or filled, and the density, color, and especially composition of the soil must be different. Pay attention to this to determine what exactly is underneath. ”

"For example, the soil layer you hit half an hour ago is black, but the next shovel is yellowish, then pay attention, this sudden appearance of loess may be filled, of course, this is not necessarily, it is also very likely to be a natural soil layer, but, after such a situation, you must pay attention, to carefully observe the density of this new soil layer, that is, pinch it to see if it is very tight, if it is not tight, loose, or even relatively dry, then it may be filling, otherwise it is a natural soil layer!"

"The most obvious feature of having a grave below is that the soil that is beaten out has porcelain tiles and the like, that must be a grave, in a word, you must always pay attention to the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel, once there is a change, it means that there is something below, as for what there is, it must be judged according to the things in the soil."

Fang Ming nodded lightly, this kind of truth was not difficult to understand, he understood it as soon as he heard it

Finish.

"I just looked at it, and the color of the soil you hit is basically the same, and the brightness is about the same, and there are no impurities such as porcelain tiles, so you can judge that there is no grave at the depth you hit so far."

"Shall we keep fighting?"

Fang Ming looked at Niu Ping, he didn't have much experience in this area.

"Hit! Of course hit! At least 15 meters or so. ”

"But...... We're almost at the end of our pole, what should we do? Is there a longer pole? ”

In fact, Fang Ming knew that there was no longer pole, and the pole of the Luoyang shovel brought this time was actually a retractable pole, but the longest length was just over 2 meters, and now it had reached a depth of nearly two meters, and there was no way to continue to lay it.

Do you want to use local materials?

There are a lot of big trees around, but most of the branches of the big trees do not have straight branches of two meters long, even if there are, it is impossible to have fifteen meters Niu Ping just said, at least to hit about fifteen meters!

"Heh, no pole."

Niu Ping laughed.

"No poles? How do you play without a pole? How to bring out the Luoyang shovel? ”

Fang Ming looked at Niu Ping incomprehensibly, the use of the Luoyang shovel is to stretch out its own weight to hit the ground, but after the fight, it has to be lifted, if there is no pole, how to lift it?

Niu Ping walked to the big backpack, looked for a bundle of rope, raised it, and said, "Just use this." ”

"Rope? Rope is also fine? ”

Fang Ming was surprised, he was able to hit fifteen meters underground with a rope?

"Bring the Luoyang shovel."

Fang Ming took out the Luoyang shovel inserted in the hole and walked to Niu Ping's side, he wanted to take a closer look at what kind of medicine Niu Ping's gourd was going to sell!

Niu Ping didn't speak, and after taking Fang Ming's Luoyang shovel, he directly dismantled the pole......

Niu Ping stood up, his body stood up straight, his legs were slightly forked, the hole that was opened just now was between his legs, the Luoyang shovel that had no rod had been installed with a straight rod, held the rod with both hands, put it on his chest, lifted it gently, and then naturally went down.

A well-made Luoyang shovel is full of weight, and it can be "eaten" into the soil when it lets go and falls, because after reaching a certain depth, it is possible to use hand power to punch holes

It is unlikely, mainly to use the strength of the weight of the Luoyang shovel itself, at the same time, the curvature of the shovel head of the Luoyang shovel must be enough, or even if it can be hit into the day, it can not bring out the soil, so that one is the hole can not go down, the soil is blocked, and the other is even if it can be beaten, the soil of each soil layer is mud together, and there is no way to accurately judge the situation of each soil layer.

Zhao Zhuzi also came over, and the Luoyang shovel he brought out this time was not just a set.

"Okay!"

If you want to accurately check the situation underground, just a hole is not enough at all, Niu Ping found one that was about ten meters away from Fang Ming

The place was given to Zhao Zhuzi, but compared to a genius-like figure like Fang Ming, who could see it at a glance, Zhao Zhuzi was not so easy to learn, and as a result, Niu Ping spent nearly two hours teaching Zhao Zhuzi how to use the Luoyang shovel, and even so-so the hole he made was just so-so.

"We're going to continue

Do you want to keep fighting? ”
