Chapter 0052, Quicksand Tomb
If you want to say that the method recorded in "Maoshan Secrets" is called "Harrier Turning Method". This method reminds me of the story of Wang Anshi and Liu Gongfu. At that time, someone said to Wang Anshi that if the Liangshan Landscape was drained, there would be more 10,000 acres of fertile land. Liu Gongfu joked to Wang Anshi: "This is easy, as long as you dig a pit as big as the water pool next to it, you can bring in water!" What do you think? It was a joke for a while.
The reason why I thought of this story was that I really had to dig a pit next to the grave and clean up all the quicksand. Quicksand flows from the tomb to other tunnels, similar to the harrier turning over in Peking Opera, hence the name.
The reason why I want to use the harrier to turn over also makes sense. Because the tomb is located in the desert, the terrain is slightly higher than the surrounding area, and if I dig through a ditch through the layer of quicksand, the sand will rush out of the ditch, and in a few moments, the quicksand in the whole tomb will be cleaned.
We connected the rebar pipe, connected the shovel head, I stepped on the ground with my feet to make a few marks, indicating that this is the position of the shovel, the bald head first fixed the shovel head, and then used a short-handled hammer to start the shovel, I put a hand on the steel pipe, feeling the situation below, a total of 13 knots, I felt the bottom of the shovel loose, so I said: "There is!" ”
We pulled the shovel up section by section, and the last one brought out a handful of soil, and the bald head forcibly unloaded the shovel head, and walked to show us, Li and I looked at it, and our faces turned white at the same time, and even Zhengyang sighed. It turned out that the sand actually carried a large amount of cinnabar, and the cinnabar and the sand were mixed together, as if it were a clotted blood clot.
It is not surprising that cinnabar appeared in the tombs. In the tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, cinnabar is often found at the bottom of the tomb, cinnabar is used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, the ancients were very superstitious, thinking that there is a ghost called Fang Liang, which is specialized in stealing people's corpses and souls, only cinnabar can drive it away.
There is also a very evil cinnabar tomb, the function of this kind of tomb is to suppress evil spirits. After the tomb is completed, the raw soil is covered with a layer of cooked soil, then a layer of plaster and then a layer of cooked soil, and then the final sealing work is completed with red clay and cinnabar. It is said that the surface of the tomb will show a bewitching blood color, which will not fade after thousands of years, and if the tomb is in a damp area, it is like grabbing a handful of clotted blood. If it had rained not long ago, the entire tomb would have been seeping fine red water droplets outward, as if it was seeping blood! This is also the formation principle of the bloody corpse tomb in Changsha.
But cinnabar was found in quicksand tombs, and that was not the case at all. At this time, the cinnabar can neither drive away evil spirits nor play the role of suppressing evil. This kind of tomb is extremely rare, even among the four major tomb robber families, only one case of touching gold was encountered during the Three Kingdoms period, and it almost led to the extinction of touching gold. It's so fierce!
Cinnabar is something like pure yang blood in witchcraft. Participating in quicksand means that the blood is still flowing, so that not only the yang energy can circulate through the tomb, but even the yin energy can be continuously circulated. In other words, not only the corpse, but even the soul of the thing in the tomb were sealed, and it could not be reborn. After thousands of years of resentment and biochemistry, the evil spirit in the tomb has increased suddenly, and cinnabar has conducted a large amount of quicksand from the quicksand!
"Something is wrong!" I pinched a handful of quicksand and frowned slightly. According to the record of "Maoshan Secret", the sand stickiness is yin, and the sand is scattered as yang. A large amount of yang energy is clearly introduced into this quicksand. What the hell is going on? Could it be that this thing has been sealed for thousands of years, and there is not the slightest resentment?
I can't explain all of this for the time being.
According to the position where the shovel fell, mark out an area for the shovel. The location of the quicksand layer of the tomb was roughly determined, but fortunately it was not very deep, about seven or eight meters underground. What we need to do is to dig a ditch of about 10 meters to divert the quicksand to the surrounding low-lying areas.
The bald head is like a veteran who has been a hole thief for more than ten years, and the speed is extremely fast, and the three whirlwind shovels fly up and down, and they go down seven or eight meters at once. Li Dazui's goods don't look at him thin and thin, there are two brushes for turning over the soil, and with a whirring sound, he dug a ditch of more than ten meters from the sand. Then I saw Li Dazui jump up and throw the shovel and scream: "It's done!" ”
Rumble! Rumble!
The quicksand carried the stones, along the channel we had dug in advance, surging out like a huge wave, making a deafening roar! The fine sand carried the boulders, and it took half an hour to drain the quicksand.
Sure enough, as the quicksand drained away, a brick wall appeared under the mouth of the cave. The walls were so smooth that there weren't even cracks. I clasped it with my hand, and there was no echo at all. Dong Tong wiped his hand up and down and shouted: "The methods of the ancients can't even have a gap!" ”
I replied, "This kind of tomb brick belongs to the chimeric adobe structure, that is, one side is concave and the other side is convex, and the two bricks fit perfectly. That's why it's so smooth as a mirror! ”
"Boy, that's easy! As long as a brick is pulled out, the structure of such a wall is destroyed! ”
As soon as I heard Zhengyang say this, I was immediately happy. There is not even a crack in this kind of wall, how do you smoke it? Blown up with explosives? This kind of brick is used in the paving tiles of the Jinluan Hall in the Forbidden City, and the detonator can only blast out a small pit. Just a few of us flesh mortals can pull it out?
Just as I was wandering, Zhengyang touched the wall with two fingers, up and down, and with a poof, a wall tile was pulled out by Qi Root. Several of us were stunned, how strong should those two fingers be?
"In this brick, there are also mechanisms, when moving and turning your head, you must be careful. If there's a trace of spark, we're screwed! ”
We took a lot of care and effort to remove the brick walls.
Sure enough, a layer of dragon oil was wrapped in a crispy sac, and once the thing broke, it burned when it saw the air. We carefully buried the dragon oil in the sand, and then the tomb wall was completely demolished.
"Boy, there is a set, it's a pity that you don't go to be a tomb robber!" Li Dazui said coldly. I was made to cry and laugh, although we are not tomb robbers, but what is the difference between tomb robbers and tomb robbers. In fact, this method has been used many times by ancient tomb robbers.
We walked in the cemetery, and with the help of the miner's lamp, we actually found a robbery hole. The thief cave is round, "This is a tomb before the Tang Dynasty!" "I can finally show off in front of such a birdman. The bald head was happy when he heard it, "Okay, you kid!" Let me tell Master Qiang, how did you tell that he was before the Tang Dynasty? "For this aspect, I am a treasure, I am naturally not modest" The tombs before the Tang Dynasty were often vertical tombs. The so-called vertical tomb is to dig a pit from the ground, support it with stone strips above the tomb, and then cover it with sealed soil. The soil of this type of tomb is very thick, and only the circular robbery hole is enough to withstand it. After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, the tombs were often dug according to the mountains, and the soil was thick, so the holes were dug. The circle can only be entered by crawling, and the square hole can be entered by walking. So the mark of the times is obvious! ”
"There's still so much to learn here? Sure enough, the interlacing is like a mountain! I'm convinced of you, boy! ”
"Brother Li, the knowledge in this is great, we move mountains and luxes, which is the least knowledgeable of the four major families, and there is a secret technique of more than 3,000 pages!"
"And what about these thieves?"
"They're all dead!" Dong Tong said coldly, I had a good impression of her before, thinking that she was a casual little girl, but after contacting her in the past few days, I found that this girl was not only indifferent, but also quite black-bellied. Sure enough, we followed the thief hole, and there were seven or eight thief holes along the way. "! There is actually an old man's machine! Li Dazui exclaimed, I see that he is not interested, he is about to suffocate! That mobile phone is a popular style ten years ago, which means that this tomb has been visited by tomb thieves once in the last ten years!
"How dare you rob this kind of tomb?" Zhengyang seemed to be talking to himself.
Soon, the thief hole changed from a circle to a triangle, and a poplar wooden frame was densely erected inside, and we continued to walk in with our cats on our waists. The bald head was at the forefront, and it didn't take long for him to shout "! Hell! "It stands to reason that people like bald heads and strong people have also encountered many strange incidents, so they won't shout like this.
I saw a few people lying on the ground, completely ossified, and from them, I could vaguely see that I had experienced a vicious fight before. The vertebrae of these people were all broken, and they were twisted alive. One of them had five holes in his skull, as if it had been inserted by five fingers.
The deaths of those people were too terrifying, no wonder Brother Qiang screamed like this. It stands to reason that his guts should be among the best in us. It's either that he's a coward at heart, or that this thing is too scary. We paused, and when we looked at these people closely, it was really a little scary and terrifying. Truth be told, if I were caught off guard, I would scream, even louder than he did.
After a while, I looked around carefully, and in my mind I could roughly guess how these people died. Needless to say, these men must have been tomb robbers, dodging quicksand and digging up from the bottom of the tomb into the tomb. He encountered something unclean in the tomb and was driven to the corridor by the thing, and then he was bent over and died. Thinking of this, I don't feel cold sweat trickling down, and my face turns green all of a sudden.
The whole person was so frightened, and after a long period of labor, my chest was stuffy!
Coupled with the sand mallet biting me on the shoulder, its poisonous gas also flares up. As soon as my eyes went black, I passed out! The two eyelids fought up and down, and a black shadow was vaguely seen, floating through the corridor. That's not any of the five of us. I didn't have time to think about it, and the thing was gone.
What the hell is that thing? After all, I didn't resist the poison gas and passed out!
