The Lost Trace of the Qinling Mountains Chapter 46 Ancient Tombs or Passages
I don't think it's a guess that the previous tomb is completely different from the various furnishings of the space we are in now, and the brick walls of the previous tomb are in tatters, but the stone bricks in this tomb are still well preserved, and it seems that the time difference between the two tombs is also very long.

But so far, all of this is still my conjecture, although I am only an inverted bucket, and I have not studied any ancient tomb site in the same detail as archaeologists, and I cannot spare even a small piece of bone and slag that I find. But I'm also a practical person, and if I don't see anything like a coffin or a burial object at the end of the road, I can't be sure that this is an ancient tomb.
Because of the inconspicuous gap in the wall, the corners are very smooth, and at a glance you can see that it was not forcibly broken by some external force, but deliberately designed during the construction, leaving only another thin layer of brick walls that are easy to push open.
And this brick wall is by no means impossible to be built at the request of the owner of the previous ancient tomb, no one will want to leave a gap in their own mansion, which is obviously not good for themselves and future generations, so the gap should be left by digging the current new ancient tomb.
But as I said earlier, it's too early to conclude that this is an ancient tomb, and of course, if this is not an ancient tomb, then it is most likely the escape route left by the craftsmen.
Looking at the scale of the previous tomb, if it weren't for the group's people who took the lead, there would definitely be a lot of funerary goods in the sarcophagus, since the entrance to the ancient tomb was placed under the soil layer more than ten meters above the ground, it can prove that the owner of the tomb was in a mood for peace after death.
Since ancient times, there have been many examples of killing tomb builders, the ancient tombs are all built by craftsmen, and they also know the most about the large and small institutions inside, and although these craftsmen who build ancient tombs are skilled, most of them are born poor, how can they not be tempted to see such a rich burial goods? In this way, there is nothing wrong with the day the tomb is built, that is, the period of slaughtering craftsmen!
But although the craftsmen can't resist openly, with their skills, they have more than enough time to build an escape route while building the ancient tomb! Besides, the escape route doesn't have to be very good, it would be nice to be able to escape, but it seems that the previous construction time of the ancient tomb will take three and a half years, or it is impossible for a craftsman to have time to paint so many patterns on the walls.
Whether it's a tomb for future generations or an escape route for craftsmen or something else, until you see something that can prove it, everything is right and everything is wrong.
I'd rather this be an escape route now, so that we can see the light of day again at the end, and if this is an ancient tomb, we will have to go back the way we came, and it won't be easy to meet those people again!
A few steps further, it suddenly seemed as if we had really reached the end, but what appeared at the end was a little too abrupt, neither the appearance of any coffin, nor the appearance of any coffin, and the fact that it did not lead to the ground, thus forming a dead end, stopping the two of us!
"Lao Xu, do you think this is the inside of the mountain we saw before we went to the tomb? If you look at the walls, they're all rocks, they must be naturally formed caves, right? Dongfang Yingying pointed to the surrounding walls, it was indeed a rock, but if it was really a natural cave, then how could there be so many man-made patterns before, I was a little skeptical of her thoughts: "It's too dark here, there may be something we haven't found, look for it again!" ”
I don't even know what the "thing" I just said should be, it could be a coffin, it could be a passage, anyway, it's always better than this dead end where there's nothing but rocks.
It's dark and I don't know how big the space is, the sound of the two of us talking can already produce a faint echo, in short, it is not too small, she looks left and I look right, try to find something valuable, but in a strange environment, even if there is the light of a flashlight, the two of us still have to be cautious, not wanting to make any unnecessary trouble because of carelessness.
"Lao Xu, this ...... Here are a few remains! Dongfang Yingying shone a flashlight on my eyes, shaking me dizzy for a while, pointing to the corner of the ground and I couldn't see clearly.
I rubbed my eyes for most of the day before I regained my normal vision, and when I rushed to her side, I saw that there were really a few white bones lying on the ground!
Looking at the state of these white bones, they must have been dead for thousands of years, their clothes are very shabby, they should be dressed up as craftsmen, and there are a few tattered shovels around the remains or something, presumably these are the craftsmen who built the ancient tombs.
But since they had already dug an escape route and came here, why they didn't continue digging and died here, I wondered a little. They are now all gone except for the bones, and it is impossible to know how they died, in short, these people have left us an escape route for sure, I was angry for a moment of brain fever, stretched out a kick, and kicked the remains on the ground.
"Hey, what is this?" After the remains were kicked by me, a bead the size of a bull's eye rolled down from a corpse, Dongfang Yingying bent down to pick it up and looked at it again, muttering: "It seems to be a pearl of the night!" ”
The pearl of the night? I've heard of this thing for a long time, but I've never had the opportunity to see it, I heard that this thing is extremely valuable, and only the palace of emperors and generals can afford to use it before, and it's even more exaggerated to say that if you put this thing in your mouth, you can make the corpse not rot and keep the flesh forever!
Of course, this statement is too exaggerated, no one has ever seen it, but looking at the beads in Dongfang Yingying's hand, they are indeed shining under the light of the flashlight, emitting a faint glow, cold and beautiful.
"How can these craftsmen have such precious things on them?" I took the night pearl in her hand with some puzzlement, and said while watching.
At this time, Dongfang Yingying had already squatted down again, and began to look at the remains under her feet with her bare hands. "Sure enough, look at what this is!"
She flipped and turned, and as if by magic, she took out a dagger from the body of a corpse, the handle of which must have been wooden, but now decayed and almost gone, and the blade was iron, rusty, but still visible.
Dongfang Yingying shook the dagger with only the rusty blade left in front of my eyes, and threw it on the remains again: "I think it should be these craftsmen who stole the tomb owner's burial goods, and there was infighting here because of the uneven distribution, so these remains were left!" ”
