Chapter 120: The Void Grave and the Doubtful Grave
Zhang Gong lay on the ground and panted and said: "Boy, you didn't kill that thing and you fell to death, what's the matter, I can't get up without 56,000 land!" ”
Professor Chen wiped the sweat on his face with his hand and scolded: "Old thing, hurry up, when is it, it's still troublesome; If it weren't for Situ Fang's handful just now, you would definitely be a meatloaf now. ”
After Zhang Gong snorted a few times and stood up, he scolded and said: "Uncle, despicable and shameless and filthy thing, you want to use this trick to kill me, you are still tender!" ”
Zheng Suo gasped and snorted as he walked over to the round stone and squatted down and said, "Old Chen, is this stone mechanism common?" ”
"The rolling stone mechanism is not common, such a mechanism is easy to crack as long as you look carefully, today it is considered that the old Zhang Xin is not used in the front, but on the side."
"Oh, are there a lot of side mechanisms?"
"Quite a lot, and it's quite dangerous, as long as it's triggered by the mechanism, it's almost impossible to live."
"Compared to the machine crossbow, this round rolling stone is still relatively safe, after all, it is easy to avoid."
"Yes, the tomb mechanism is actually a fixed kind, and it can be avoided as long as you are careful."
"Let's take a break, and then go in later."
"Well, I've been troubled by this rolling stone, at least it's safe in the corridor, let's go in directly."
After resting for a while, a few people re-entered the temple, this temple was very small, and there were very few things placed, in the center were a few boxes that were almost rotting, and there were some copper coins scattered on the side. Walking up, Professor Chen grabbed a few and said to Zheng Suo: "These coins are very interesting, Yongtong Wanguo, five baht coins, Buquan, and Wuxing Dabu are all the currencies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but you see, there are five baht and white coins here, and it is very interesting to put these currencies together." ”
"So this can be confirmed to be the tomb of the Sui Dynasty?"
"Anyway, there will definitely be no coins of the Sui Dynasty in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that's for sure, but don't you think this signal is interesting when you mix these here?"
"I don't understand this, Lao Chen, don't sell it, just say it."
"If it is really a concubine's tomb, will it all be ordinary copper coins to accompany the burial? And the number is very small. ”
"I see, you mean this may not be some kind of concubine tomb, right?"
"Yes, it's getting stronger now."
After turning around and making sure that nothing else had been found in the temple, several people continued to walk forward and entered the tomb directly. The burial chamber is just as simple here, except for a Nanmu coffin in the center and a few boxes of funerary goods on the side, there is nothing else.
Zhang Gong walked to a few boxes of money and opened them carefully, and found that there were still copper coins inside, so he asked suspiciously: "A concubine was buried like this?" It's too shabby, I'm sorry for such a complicated tomb. ”
Professor Chen frowned and thought for a while, "In this way, now open this coffin first, and everything will be known after it is opened." ”
This Nanmu coffin was not covered very tightly, and with the help of Situ Fang and a few others, the coffin lid was easily removed without using any tools. Seeing that nothing unusual had happened, Professor Chen walked to the coffin and looked inside, where there was really a decomposed female corpse, still maintaining the same appearance as when it was buried: her hair was combed in a single bun, she was wearing a white jade hairpin, wearing a long skirt, a lapel and a large-sleeved shirt, and the belt was naturally hanging on both sides. Other than that, there are no funerary goods inside.
Zheng Suo looked at it for a while and then looked up and asked, "Old Chen, will this woman be the concubine?" ”
"No, it's just an ordinary lady."
"How do you know for sure?"
"Quite simply, a woman who has given birth to a child will have permanent scars due to the fetal head pressing the inside of the pelvis, so if a woman's skeleton is found to have a bony depression on the dorsal side of the pubic symphysis, and there are scars left during childbirth, it can be determined that she has given birth."
"Oh, that means she's not the concubine's by the fact that she's given birth?"
"No, this can only mean that she has given birth to a child, although it is inconsistent with the legend, but it cannot be concluded that she is not, what really helps me make a judgment is that the sternum body and xiphoid process of this skeleton have healed, and the laryngeal bone and costal cartilage have begun to solidify, that is to say, this person is between 40-50 years old, since there is a clear difference in age, then she is definitely not the legendary concubine."
"By the way, then how did you judge that she was an ordinary lady just now?"
"This is judged by the appearance of her clothes, the average woman should have her hair combed in a double bun at that time, wearing a robe with small sleeves, and this is different, in addition to the hairpin, the material of the clothes is also more particular, there are obvious differences and differences."
"So this means it's a fake tomb?"
"Yes, it's a false grave, but that's not entirely true, after all, there are real people buried here."
After they finished discussing the topic, Situ Fang on the side said: "Professor, I have always wondered two points, the air quality here is good, it should mean that there is something here that is connected to the outside, and there is air convection, otherwise the air must be turbid; In addition, the coffin was not specified to come in from underwater, and it must have been transported from the outside, so how did they come here? ”
"Well, what you're talking about is a problem, and it's very objective and direct, that is, if there is no secret door or anything here, it is indeed impossible for these things to be transported in, so let's work hard now and look for it together."
After Zhang Gong took out the layers of three-dimensional imagers wrapped in plastic wrap from the waterproof bag, with the cooperation of Situ Fang, the two began to explore all the spaces here. After nearly an hour of exploration, I really found the clue: just 3 meters above one meter behind the tomb door, there is a depression of nearly two meters, standing below it is like a crack, almost invisible, in the temple, there are also two small holes that do not know where to lead.
Situ Fang said to Professor Chen: "Professor, I will go up with Bin Zi now to see where this leads and then come back." ”
"But it's so high, how do you go up?"
"It's simple, the two of us work together, and it's easy to flip it up."
"Okay, you pay attention to safety, you don't understand these things in the ancient tomb, so let Zhang Gong go up with you."
"It's okay, then I'll go up first, and then pull him up, so that the two of us don't get into trouble unknowingly."
After speaking, Shao Bin crossed his fingers and half-squatted behind the tomb door, Situ Fang saw that Shao Bin was ready, so he ran two steps and stepped on Shao Bin's hand with one foot, and the moment his foot fell on Shao Bin's hand, Shao Bin lifted him up with force, and Situ Fang went up.
Seeing that Situ Fang had already gone up, Shao Bin said to Zhang Gong: "Zhang Gong, don't run, just stand on my hand, I will lift you up, and then let Situ Fang pull you on it again, and you will go up together." ”
"Haha, you just want me to run, I can't run fast and explosive, my old man can only work hard for the two of you." After saying that, he dragged up and down the push.
Seeing that Zhang Gong also went up, Shao Bin took a few steps back, kicked on the wall of the cave after a run, and then jumped up hard, and his hand was on Situ Fang's hand, and he was easily pulled up.
