The night was as quiet as a pool of water, as if all the living beings had slept, everything seemed so peaceful, black covered all the houses, the moonlight was hazy, the shadows of the trees were swaying, the wind was gentle, blowing the bright faces of the stars, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the silver light passed through the messy and slanted branches, reflecting on his long and thin body, his handsome eyes were slightly closed, his eyebrows were slightly open, his nose was straightened and sniffed, the corners of his lips were lightly raised, and he was thinking about something. At this moment, he is quiet as if he is one with nature, just like a freehand painting with light green and light ochre. A fine sweat stain gathered on his forehead, and a bead of sweat the size of a bean fell to the ground along the bridge of his nose.

A slight 'tick' seemed to break the silence in an instant. It also shows Lin Yu's inner unrest, and the terrifying coercion is shrouded in this dilapidated place, after half an hour of rummaging, not to mention finding the so-called bluestone slab, except for turning out a large number of human skeletons, he didn't even see a decent big stone slab, except for Ruolan, everyone was sweating profusely, leaning on the slope next to the bamboo forest and panting.

"Senior Brother Lin, did you say that the bluestone slab judged by the excavator master did not exist at all, and that he was hallucinating." Huang Shuliang asked a little tiredly.

"It shouldn't! Even if everything seen is an illusion, the ground cannot be an illusion, and illusion can only make a souled life form produce vision, hearing, and tactile illusions through the medium, and it is impossible to make a soulless excavator hallucinate. Lin Yu frowned and said, while brushing the sweat-soaked hair on his forehead, and carefully observed the dilapidated place again.

On the whole, this dilapidated place is a little different, slightly higher than the ground next to it, it is square, as if it is artificial, there is no grass, giving him a sense of obsolescence.

"Huh? I can't be mistaken, right? I saw Huang Shuliang's face change, exclaimed, took the hoe next to him and ran to the junction of high and low next to the foundation and dug it up fiercely, digging more and more energetically, with joy and solemnity on his face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yusan rushed over in two steps, looking at Huang Shuliang's movements in confusion.

"Ahem! Everyone, pay attention, the poor road has something to say! Huang Shuliang put down the hoe and said excitedly. Ignored Lin Yu's question at all.

Everyone was so excited to see the thief, it was no different from picking up gold, and they all looked at him and listened to what he had to say.

"I'm going to tell you a solid story now, Poor Dao has followed the master to the north and south for so many years, and I've seen all kinds of strange things, of course, catching ghosts and exorcisms is commonplace, and there is also a skill to find graves in caves. Look, this place looks chaotic, in fact, the entire ground is raised out of thin air by nearly one meter, in a regular quadrilateral, the entire raised ground does not have a single grass, indicating that the soil layer is very shallow, and there is likely to be something like a stone slab below, indicating that it was built by man, plus the phantom array on the periphery just now, it is likely to be a sealed tomb. But this cemetery is very strange, completely different from the imperial tombs I have seen before. I have never seen this kind of tomb with a regular type of stone slab. ”

"How do you know?" Lin Yu was a little incredulous.

"You are outdated, now whether it is a mage or a Taoist priest, they will have an in-depth understanding of the tomb, many rich businessmen and magnates will find a good place for feng shui after death, this is also the most profitable, we people also have to make money, hehe!" Huang Shuliang said proudly.

"And what kind of tomb is this?" Lin Yu was interested for a while, although he didn't know whether Huang Shuliang was true or not, but a series of strange factors pointed to this place.

"What, this tomb is very particular, I can't judge it for a while!" Huang Shuliang scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly.

"I thought you knew something, tsk! It's just half a drop of water! Zhou Diwen originally thought that he could hear some secrets, but after a long time, he couldn't judge this thing, and hit mercilessly.

"You know a yarn! Although the poor Dao's mana is far away from Senior Brother Lin, the dragon point is definitely not blown, no matter what tomb you have to witness with your own eyes to know, are you a dead fat man a pig? Poor Dao will teach you a good lesson today, so as not to embarrass you! Huang Shuliang could stand the ridicule, and immediately became angry.

"When discussing the burial system in the pre-Qin and Han literatures, there are usually two key points, one is about the development of the burial system, and the other is the hierarchy of the burial system. The former can discuss society's conception of the afterlife through the architectural form of the tomb, while the latter shows that the tomb can reflect the funeral rites based on social class. Zeng Tzu once said, "Be cautious and pursue the future, and the people's morality will be restored", which is not only his personal expectation, but also reflects the important position of funeral rites in the society at that time.

The tomb structure can be roughly divided into two categories: the main stream and the side branches. The mainstream tomb form is the vertical pit wooden coffin tomb, the earthen cave tomb, and the horizontal cave brick chamber tomb developed from the pre-Qin period, which is the common form of the Han Dynasty tomb. In terms of tributaries, such as the cliff tombs in Sichuan, the stone slab tombs in Shandong, and the shell tombs in the northeast, they belong to the tomb form with local characteristics, so their particularity is high and they are not popular.

Wooden coffin tomb in the pit . The basic structure of the Han Dynasty pit wooden coffin tomb is the same as that of the pre-Qin wooden coffin tomb, that is, a rectangular earthen mound is excavated vertically from the ground downwards as a burial chamber for placing the coffin. The structure of the coffin chamber is generally rectangular box-shaped, and the combination of the coffin plate is mainly grooved and tenon. The coffin can be divided into spaces of different sizes to place the coffin and burial goods. The shape of the coffin is still mainly rectangular box-shaped, and there are also examples of wider heads, and the curved coffin lid commonly used in modern times is extremely rare. The combination of the coffin plate is made of mortise and tenon or coffin nails.

Brick chamber tombs. The construction of a typical brick chamber tomb is basically to dig a pit from the ground downward, make a hole at the bottom of the pit, and then build a tomb chamber with blocks in this pit and place the coffin in it. Some brick chamber tombs are built with sloped tomb paths, and some brick chambers are built at the bottom of the vertical pit without opening horizontal pits. The burial form of brick chamber tombs did not suddenly appear in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and its origin may be traced back to the custom of earthen cave tombs used in Shanxi and Shaanxi during the Warring States Period.

The cave shape of the earthen cave tomb is actually similar to the horizontal pit concept of the brick chamber tomb, that is, a vertical pit tomb is dug from the ground downward, and after reaching the bottom, a cave is dug horizontally to the side, which was originally used as a niche for placing burial goods, and then gradually expanded to become a burial chamber for placing coffins. However, the cave in the Warring States period was a wide and shallow cave, and it was not until later that it was transformed into a deep and long cave.

In addition, in the late Warring States period, there was also a kind of vertical pit hollow brick coffin tomb in Henan. The structure of this kind of tomb is basically the same as that of the vertical pit wooden coffin tomb, except that the part of the wooden coffin is replaced by a large rectangular hollow brick coffin, and the wooden coffin is still placed in the brick coffin. Judging from the size of such tombs and the burial goods, the identity of the tomb owner could not have been too high, and it may have been a low-ranking official or scholar. ”

"Are you clairvoyant or something? Can you see what's going on? Is it so easy to judge that there is a pile of rubble on top of this that the situation is not clear, and there is a terrifying phantom array? Huang Shuliang said a long list like pouring beans, and scolded Zhou Diwen when he was done.

"What are you doing, don't you just know how to find dragons and fix points." Although Zhou Diwen was convinced, he still muttered in a low voice.

"Now let's clean up this platform first, and then we can discuss!" At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly interrupted the two of them, he always felt that someone was secretly staring at him, but he couldn't feel the position at all, and the feeling of a chill down his back was really uncomfortable.

"Move mountains!" Before Lin Yu's words fell, he heard Ruolan next to him scream. I saw her stretch out her small palm, and a golden orchid petal appeared in the palm of her hand out of thin air, and it had become the size of a palm in one breath, shining and dazzling, and even Yuehua was ashamed to hide it.

The slender index finger and middle finger of the jade clamped the orchid petals and waved gently, and the whole sky was suddenly as black as splashing ink, and the golden Pi Lian, which was ten zhang wide, became the focus of the entire heaven and earth.

Ruolan completed all the movements between the electric lights and flints, as if she was insignificant, but her face changed, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was thoughtful, her fan-like eyelashes on her flashing eyes fanned from time to time, and her chest rose and fell irregularly, showing her inner unpeace. The moonlight sprinkled all over the earth again, reflecting on the jade plate-like face with holy brilliance, like the fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace, looking lonely and desolate.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Yu only felt that the softness and depth of his heart twitched violently, and a slight tingling pain in his heart hit the cranial nerves, without any warning.

"It's okay! You still look at the platform. Ruolan said calmly, and returned to her cold appearance in an instant, but the thick worry in Lin Yu's eyes was like a pebble thrown into her calm heart lake, and a trace of ripples involuntarily appeared, and a complicated expression appeared on his face as he watched his back walk towards the platform.

In fact, Lin Yu's heart is also very complicated, he himself doesn't know how to touch his heart, as if Ruolan's expression is magical, it can easily touch his heart, and there is also a feeling of déjà vu with Ruolan.

Lin Yu, who came to the platform, saw Zhou Diwen and several others looking at him with admiration, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile and looked at the platform that was cleaned up. The first feeling when he looked at the platform was that it was simple and heavy, and at the same time he was deeply shocked.

I saw a bluestone slab of about 100 square meters to form the whole platform, the slate is smooth as jade, flat as a mirror, there is no trace of corrosion and weathering, the side carves the dragon and the phoenix, the exquisite skills are like a ghostly axe, there is an illusion that the dragon is about to fly and the phoenix dance. The main thing was that it was a single slate, and he was sure it was the largest slate he had ever seen in his life. The thickness of the slate is about one meter, which is definitely hundreds of tons of existence, who has such a great ability to get such a large slate, it simply subverts his understanding. Don't say that it was moved by a machine, it's completely impossible, this bluestone slab should be the style before the Han Dynasty from the style point of view, was there a machine at that time?
