Feng Laonong said: "There are two kinds of tombs in China: clear tombs and dark tombs. As for the Ming tomb, it is a tomb that is obvious, not hidden, and can be seen by everyone, like a small family or a poor person, who can dig a pit and put it in a coffin, and bury it with a mound.

Either the world was peaceful at that time, or the owner of the tomb was huge. In the past, the village chiefs, various small leaders, bureaucrats, etc., would build ancestral halls or make decent graves out of bricks and stones. And the dark tomb is that the owner of the tomb is worried that after death, the tomb will be robbed. Choose a place with better feng shui and no people, and bury it secretly. There will be a lot of mechanisms and various anti-theft measures. Such a dark tomb is very dangerous, but the Ming utensils inside cannot be compared to the Ming Tomb. Just pour a secret fight, and then you will make a fortune.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, whether it was a bright tomb or a dark tomb, it was built like a rectangle or a square. It was built with bricks and stones in accordance with the shape of the houses where the living lived at that time, which means that after death, the soul can continue to live underground as it did when it was alive. Of course, the poor man's tomb was made of earth in a circle, and if it had been built in a square shape, the rain would have washed over for a while, and it would have been ruined.

And the one we found today, judging from the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel, is a round tomb. And this shape of the tomb was gradually popular among the people after Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, ruled the Central Plains. Because the Mongols live in yurts, it is this shape that the tomb is built into a circle, which also symbolizes that the dead can live in another world underground like the living. It was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that this custom was slowly replaced by the Han Chinese tradition. And the official position of the prefect only appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is concluded that this ancient tomb in the village should have been established at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Those wet stone powders on the shovel head in Luoyang. Actually, it's not the inner layer of stone. It is just a glutinous rice mortar applied to the surface of the masonry to strengthen and seal the burial chamber. About 1,500 years ago, construction workers in ancient China invented the super-strong "glutinous rice mortar" by mixing glutinous rice soup with a standard mortar. Glutinous rice mortar is stronger than pure lime mortar, more resistant to water, ancient craftsmen used glutinous rice mortar to build tombs, pagodas, city walls, these ancient buildings are very strong, even modern bulldozers are difficult to knock down, but also can withstand a very strong earthquake.

In addition, the location of the tomb has now been discovered. If you make a straight up and down thief hole from the top, it is the most time-saving and labor-saving. However, the tomb was built of glutinous rice mortar and masonry, and it was probably impossible to collapse the bucket overnight. This will make it easy for people to find out who are working in the fields. The dry river ditch at the edge of the field is three or four deep, overgrown with wild grass, and the entrance of the cave is easy to hide, so it is the preferred location for stealing holes. I calculated the distance, and the ditch was about three or four zhang long from the tomb. That is, a distance of more than ten meters. If you hit the thief hole. It should be soon. It doesn't take much time to get through the hole.

Now we need some tools to dig and transport the soil. Tools were also needed to open the tomb walls, and explosives, although the best, were nowhere to be obtained right now. It can only be chiseled little by little with a hammer and iron fiber. And some things to ward off evil spirits, I have some glutinous rice at home, and I will bring them at night. When you have eaten and drunk enough, sleep well, and don't run around. I'll go back and prepare the tools I need later. I'll come back when it's dark. "

Wu Feifei and I have eaten all the cooked dog legs, and most of the wine has gone down. After listening to what Feng Lao Nong said. So he said, "Don't worry, we'll sleep now." "

Feng Laonong packed up his canvas bag, glanced at us and walked towards the door. "Remember to bring some meat to eat when you come in the evening!" I smiled at him.

I saw that Feng Laonong made a gesture of slapping his mouth and took the door with his hand. Just left. After a tired night, he was full of wine and food. Soon I fell asleep in a daze.

I vaguely dreamed that I was in a dark hole, cold and dark all around, without a little light. I had a pistol clutched tightly in my hand. There was only the sound of falling water。。。。。。

I was dreaming, and I was suddenly woken up by someone. When I opened my eyes, the oil lamp had been lit, and Wu Feifei had already gotten up, eating steamed buns on the side, and a bowl of chili peppers was placed in the bowl next to him. And Feng Lao Nong was smoking a cigarette by the bedside. See I'm awake. said: "You dead pig, if you don't wake up, you have to let Lao Tzu slap you"

It turned out that it was already dark, when Feng Lao Nong came to the house. Wu Feifei had already gotten up, so he put the steamed buns and chili peppers on the table and ate them first. Then he called me a few times, but didn't wake me up. The old farmer was anxious about the things of the night, so he woke me up directly.

"After working as a laborer for you all night, won't you let me sleep for a while?" I opened my mouth to retort.

"Where did you get so much nonsense, hurry up and eat, don't delay your work," Feng Laonong said impatiently.

I went out to wash my face and returned to the table. There were only two cold steamed buns, as black as if they had been pulled out of a coal pile. I scolded myself in my heart, you birdman, tell you when you leave, let you bring some meat over to eat. That's good. The food is getting worse day by day. Helplessly, the temple of the five internal organs in the stomach has been empty for a day, and it is cooing at this time. I had to pick up this steamed bun and break it. I dipped it in the chili pepper and ate it. To be honest, except that this steamed bun is a little hard. This chili puree mixed with sesame oil tastes really good. It's very fragrant and delicious.

After the two steamed buns are destroyed. Feng Laonong handed each of us a cloth bag, which was heavy. He said to us, "Bring your stuff and go." and the two of you also bring small knives and Buddhist beads to ward off evil spirits" and then couldn't help but say, and he strode out of the door. We followed. The three of them quietly came to the place where they had explored last night.
