Chapter 9: The Ghost Bard: 9
Wang Shan ran out of breath, swallowed his throat with a big gasp, and asked Ding Mo what kind of place this is, why are there so many whole pieces of wood?
Ding Mo looked at the scene in front of him in a trance, and turned a deaf ear to her words.
At this time, Wang Shan realized what she didn't know, and Ding Mo shouldn't know either. These wooden blocks must be unusual, and it must be in vain to ask him.
Such thick blocks of wood were brought here by mudslides, could it be that there was some large ancient structure on the top of the hill before?
Looking up, as far as the eye can see, there are red sand beaches everywhere you look, and scattered square trees, and I don't know how many there are, and the area is very wide.
Wen Jin and Lin Zhi also felt that these woods were strange, and they wanted to go up to take a closer look, but they were stopped by Ding Mo.
Wang Shan looked at Ding Mo suspiciously, and before he could ask him why he was blocking, he saw Ding Mo push a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at us with a shocked face and said four words: "Huang... Yellow intestine problem! ”
The crowd looked at each other and asked him what he was talking about. What does the yellow intestine puzzle mean?
Later, Ding Mo told them that the "yellow intestine inscription" was a form of tomb in ancient times. Originated from antiquity, the most common in the Han Dynasty, almost a little powerful princes and monarchs would use the 'yellow intestine inscription' to fortify the tombs.
"Yellow intestine" refers to the yellow core of cypress, which is exceptionally strong.
"Problem" refers to the stacking of wooden blocks and spread them flat.
The "problem" is the end of the wood, and one end of the wood can be put together to form a protective force against external pressure.
It is said that there is a Han tomb with yellow intestines in Hubei, and there is a meal of gold hidden in the tomb. In 76, the tomb robbers used explosives to bomb several rounds, but they failed to blow up the yellow intestine problem, but the explosion eventually attracted the police to round up.
It can be seen that the yellow intestine is strong and reliable, and the blasting of ordinary explosives from the outside will only make the wood tighter and stronger. It's like if you use countless chopsticks to squeeze your head together, pushing from the tail of the chopsticks will definitely only make them squeeze tighter.
Ding Moying took a step forward and turned in a circle, his expression began to look strange and unfamiliar, as if he was very frightened, and seemed to be trembling with excitement.
"The yellow intestine inscription is the most solid anti-tomb robbery engineering facility in ancient times, except for the 'fire quicksand'! It can be regarded as a heavy wrap in the tomb. The yellow core of cypress wood is not only strong in nature, but also has many effects such as flame repellent, insect repellent and antiseptic when soaked in a special liquid. They are like our current 'fireproof wood', although they are wood, they can be flame retardant and corrosion-resistant. 'Yellow intestine inscription' was popular in the Qin and Han dynasties, and its users were mainly the emperor and his wife, and a few of them were allowed to use it by the emperor's favored ministers. In the "Hanshu Huo Guang Biography" annotated by Su Lin of the Three Kingdoms, it is explained: The yellow heart of cypress wood is tired outside the coffin, so it is called yellow intestine; Wood is introverted, so it is called a topic. ”
Wang Shan and Wen Jin glanced at each other, both of them looking confused.
Lin Zhi seemed to understand, nodded mechanically in agreement, and asked Ding Mo tightly: "You mean, only the emperor and the emperor's relatives can use this?" ”
Ding Mo snorted, looked at the top of the mountain, and said, "Yes! There is an ancient tomb here, and the scale is not small. It is quite possible that there was a tomb of a king or prince. ”
Wang Shan understood a rough idea, nodded with relief, and sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be such a huge ancient tomb in this wilderness, and I don't know which emperor's rich old tomb it is." How many trees and how many forests have to be destroyed to get so much wood!. How strong do you think it can be, and it hasn't been washed away by mudslides? It seems that no matter how impregnable anti-theft facilities are, they can't withstand the destructive power of natural disasters, right? ”
Hearing this, Ding Mo was suddenly stunned, and his face twitched twice with some stiffness.
As if suddenly he thought of something terrible, he looked at the top of the mountain, shook his head and said, "No, it's not a natural disaster that destroys it. It's artificial! These scattered 'yellow intestine questions' were blown up. There are people robbing graves here. ”
"Brother Ding Mo, didn't you just say that the yellow intestine problem can't be exploded? Why did you change your tune again?. ”
Wen Jin asked puzzled. As he spoke, he looked at Wang Shan and asked, "Da Shan, did he just say that?" Saying that the use of explosives will only get tighter and tighter. ”
Wang Shan didn't want to dispute this matter, and she didn't have Wen Jin so boring to pick other people's words. When she heard Ding Mo say that there were people robbing tombs here, her heart trembled as if she had been kicked violently.
There are many stories on TV and in the movies about thieves who turned jobs and made a living by robbing tombs.
They are either forced by life or passed down from generation to generation, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are very extreme, they are outlaws.
People who lack morality and do too much work have no ethics and standards for life. The underworld is nothing more than fighting, but this kind of thieves who steal graves are different, they deal with death, profiteering, and danger all year round, their perspective is biased, and their worldview and values are different from ordinary people. This kind of person is absolutely unprovoked.
Wang Shan glanced back at Wenjin and said, "There are no absolutes. Now is the era of cruise missiles flying all over the sky, and I don't know how many generations of bombs have been revised and upgraded, even skyscrapers can be blasted in seconds, and they can't make an ancient tomb? ”
Wen Jin didn't expect Wang Shan to turn against herself, and looked at her with handsome pupils and asked, "Wang Shan, do you want to take a stand?" ”
Ding Mo pressed Wen Jin and said, "Maybe what I said is not right, it's a bit exaggerated."
The yellow intestine may not be as strong as the legend suggests. But the wood in front of you is likely to be the yellow intestine used to frame the tomb, and it is also a fact that this tomb has been damaged.
If there really is an ancient tomb here, and it is destroyed at this time, then there must be a big problem beyond the landslide. - There may be someone robbing a tomb here. ”
"Tomb robbers?" Wang Shan and Lin Zhi asked in unison.
Wen Jin looked very confused, blinking his eyes and looking left and right: "What is a tomb robber?" ”
Wen Jin's living environment is not quite the same, he is a golden branch and jade leaf, and he rarely watches those extracurricular books and bad movies.
It's hard to imagine how people with superior family conditions usually live, but they certainly won't be like Wang Shan who reads e-books on their mobile phones after finishing their homework, their lives must be richer.
Therefore, Wen Jin did not know that there was a kind of thieves who made a living by stealing the burial goods in the tomb, and these thieves were called tomb robbers or "Tufuzi". Tomb robbers have existed since ancient times, and they are rampant.
Ding Mo nodded to Wang Shan and Lin Zhi, then pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and explained to Wen Jin: "Tomb robbers are thieves who dig other people's graves and steal burial goods. I'm worried about that girl now......"
Ding Mo didn't say any more, but they all understood what he meant.
Wang Shan thought, the bandit who kidnapped the woman's boyfriend may be the tomb robber who dug up this ancient tomb, and the woman is running up the mountain now, maybe she wants to fight the tomb robbers?
Of course, this is just a speculation, and there are still many possibilities for this matter until more clues are known.
Wen Jin nodded at Ding Mo and said, "It turned out to be the same." So, ......, what do we do next? Are the grave-digging bad guys still here? Otherwise, let's call the police. ”
Wen Jin said and took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call, but this place is too remote and the phone can't be called at all, how can he call the police?
Wen Jin fiddled with it for a while, and then looked at Wang Shan and said, "Da Shan, what should you do, we are still lost." ”
"Anyway, it's all coming, without the driver master and the woman, it will be difficult for us to get out of this big mountain circle. In this case, we can only go over and see if it is not as evil as we imagined. After all, this is a society governed by the rule of law, and I'm afraid of a bird. ”
Wang Shan said and looked at Lin Zhi, knowing that he was the most timid one, so he raised his chin and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
Lin Zhi looked at Wang Shan and then at Wen Jin with clean eyes, and said, "Follow you, I'm not afraid of going anywhere." ”
Lin Zhi watched Wang Shan say this, and he didn't know if it was the picture of her last time who had convulsions and beat people to cripple his young heart or what, he always felt that he was a man but shy like a girl, and he was a little awkward.
Wang Shan thought to herself, this kid is only afraid that he will be wasted, who else is willing to associate with a soft-footed shrimp besides Wen Jin. Now Wen Jin is a little lost, and his eyes when he looks at Ding Mo are always full of spring.
Ding Mo also agreed to go up and take a look, but now that he realized that there would be danger, he had to be more careful, and he couldn't run forward with his eyes closed like before, which was a steep slope and difficult.
Ding Mo said that there are usually about 15,000 to 20,000 cypress trees that make up the yellow intestine inscription, and judging from the wooden blocks scattered in the red sand beach on the hillside, the tomb should not be far away, and it may not need to reach the top of the mountain. The detour is approaching, let's explore the reality first and then make a calculation.
In this way, four young men who did not know the height of the sky approached the tomb again, and who would have thought that what awaited us was a thrilling and bizarre journey......
