Chapter 238: Strange Stone Bridge
"Burial pit?"
The blind man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he showed an expression that should be like this, nodded and said,
"Well, the main tomb is connected to a burial pit, which is actually in line with the style of the era in which the owner of the tomb lived."
Wu Yi knew too little about the style and characteristics of the tombs of various dynasties at this time, so he didn't have any opinions about the blind man's words, but the fat man was immediately unconvinced and argued,
"Bullshit's in style! You can see this tomb by looking at the dome in the underground palace, it is definitely an ancient tomb in the pre-Qin period!
The ancient tombs of the pre-Qin period pay attention to the upward and downward effect, most of them are covered bucket-type tombs, the four sides see the prism line, the top is a small square platform, just like a pyramid, you go to see the tomb of Qin Shi Huang to know how regular!
But look at what this old man is cultivating, there are three envy roads alone, and the underground palace is connected to the main tomb road in all directions, which is barely in line with the rules, but who knows that the back of the tomb road is not the main tomb but a burial pit, how can this put the burial pit behind the main tomb road! ”
The blind man smiled slightly, shook his head, and said,
"Fat man, in fact, the old man just remembered one thing, if this place is really a pure Qin Dynasty tomb, then the tomb door that entered the underground palace before should not be the heavy stone door of the push-pull type, but should be a jack gate, and the jack gate was particularly popular in the tombs of the Qin Dynasty!
As for the style of using the stone gate of the beast head ring as the entrance to the underground palace, there is a shadow of the tomb of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so the old man judged at that time that the owner of this tomb may have been born in the transitional period between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, the tomb here has both a part of the tombs of the Qin Dynasty and a sense of majesty, and some of the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that have been left behind. ”
The blind man listened to the fat man's silence, and then laughed,
"There is another characteristic of the tombs in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, the tombs are often built in the shape of 'work', which is relatively easy to excavate and can save a lot of manpower and material resources.
And the two ends of the 'work' shaped tomb, one end is the underground palace, and the other end is the burial pit, which is also consistent with this place, so the owner of this tomb is equivalent to the fusion of the tomb characteristics of the two dynasties, and there is a burial pit here, which is not surprising. ”
Wu Yi couldn't help but glance at the blind man a few more times when he heard this, he could dig up so much information from these subtle details, and the blind man's research and cognition of the ancient tomb seemed to be far from what he could imagine.
While listening to the blind man continue, Wu Yi used a wolf-eye flashlight to re-examine the burial pit in front of him.
Wu Yi naturally ignored the large number of human bones inside, and his gaze only lingered for a moment on the bones of beasts such as elephant bones and horse bones, which were extremely complete.
The reason why elephant bones are used in tombs should be that the ancients took the meaning of the homophonic word 'Xiang', and as for the horse bones, they symbolize vitality and galloping.
This stone bridge spans the entire burial pit, the bridge body shape is simple and generous, the air runs through Changhong, and you can walk over from the top of the burial pit on this stone bridge. I just don't know if there are any traps on the stone bridge, and I don't know what unknown things I will face after crossing the stone bridge.
The three of them simply cleaned up their moods, and then the fat man took the lead and stepped on the stone bridge one by one.
Unexpectedly, the three of them had just stepped onto the stone bridge and walked a few steps, and the stone bridge under their feet made a series of 'crunching" sounds, as if it was about to break!
At the same time, the bridge began to shake violently, and several areas of the cyan stone layer paved on the stone bridge also fell directly into the burial pit below.
The highest part of this stone bridge is also about five meters away from the bottom of the burial pit, if you fall from the top even if you don't die, I'm afraid you will break your arms and legs, fortunately, Wu Yi and the three of them have not gone far, the three of them saw this, hurriedly turned around and ran down from the top of the stone bridge.
After coming down, the fat man walked over and kicked the stone bridge with a scolding, opened his mouth and scolded,
". Yes, this bridge looks quite solid, but I didn't expect it to be a tofu slag project that cut corners, it turns out that the ancients used to like to play this set to deceive consumers!
It seems that there is no way, our brothers are still going to wade through the pile of bones in this burial pit today!
There is a wrong, there is a debtor, these poor creatures who accompany the burial can not be buried in the soil for thousands of years after death, if you want to blame, you have to blame the cruel ruler, today the three of us came to dig the grave of the ruler, it can be regarded as revenge for them, they should not embarrass us! ”
The blind man ignored the fat man's words, but his face was somewhat strange and incomprehensible, the ancients generally attached great importance to their own tombs, how could it be possible to build a dangling broken bridge on it?
Even after thousands of years, this stone bridge will not decay into such a state?
Wu Yi walked over, squatted on the ground, and carefully shone the front end of the stone bridge that seemed to be disconnected with a flashlight, and suddenly his eyes fell between the two upturned bluestones, where something seemed to be exposed.
So he called the fat man over, asked the fat man to help him turn on the light, and then took out the paratrooper knife hanging from his waist, and scraped the stone bridge a few times with a sharp blade, only to see that some gravel was immediately scraped down, and a rope as thick as a child's wrist was exposed from it.
Seeing this, the fat man exclaimed,
"Oh, this stone bridge is hollow inside! It turns out that what is built here is not a stone bridge, but an empty shell of a stone bridge! The shell is made so atmospheric, this tomb owner is really full enough to hold on! ”
Wu Yi pulled the rope, but found that it could not be pulled, presumably it was clamped by the stone layer, and hurriedly used the paratrooper knife to peel off the other parts of the bluestone, and after a while, he opened a big hole in the stone bridge, and used a flashlight to shine inside, but found that the empty shell of the stone bridge was wrapped in a ladder bridge made of rope and mahogany.
The fat man also hurriedly squeezed over and watched it with a flashlight inside, and after reading it, he couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile,
"I said that the owner of this tomb has a sick brain, he built a hollow bridge shell for a good stone bridge, but he wrapped a wooden ladder bridge made of rope and wood in it, isn't this that he has nothing to do!"
