The location of the water culvert is close to Wenchang Pavilion, and when we went, it was still being restored protectively, and Shen Buregret happened to be in charge of this area, and she took us into the ruins. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I am only familiar with the underground buildings, this is the first time I have seen such underground facilities, even Ye Zhiqiu and Xue Xinrou are full of praise, the water culvert is a brick and stone structure, and dense fences are installed on both sides.

Shen Buregret led the way in front, this water culvert was more responsible than we imagined, at the beginning it was still a straight passage, and gradually branched, Shen Buregret told us that the entire drainage facility covered almost the entire Yangzhou.

We finally stopped at the end of a branch, and under the light of the flashlight, we could clearly see the soil structure that blocked the culvert earthen wall.

"This was originally the channel of the Wen River, and the drainage facilities led directly to the river, but when the river was filled in, the drainage hole was blocked." Shen Buregret explained to us, and pointed to the top of his head. "The original Wenjin Bridge is right above us."

"All spread out, with a three-step distance, and make a three-point caving." Ye Jiuqing took out a probe shovel from his bag and said to us.

"Uncle Ye, after the archaeological team discovered the water culvert, they took samples and surveyed this area, thinking that this was originally the Wenhe River, and there was silt and river sand accumulation, so it can be judged that there are no other relics." Shen said without regrets.

"The Wen River has not been formed for a long time, and when the Bronze Palace was built, it was still a wasteland, Yangzhou City has not yet been formed, it has been thousands of years ago, and the living soil at that time has now become dead soil, so you have not found anything abnormal." Ye Jiuqing replied confidently. "This time it's the opposite to find it, and it's the dead soil under the river that's the key."

"Dad, according to what you said, all the rivers under the Nawen River should be dead soil, and there is no result."

"If you look at the soil and find that the soil is red, it means that you have found the right place." Ye Jiuqing said.

"Why?" Tian Ji asked.

"Or Uncle Ye has experience, Jiuding is hidden in the Bronze Palace, and the bronze smelting before the Shang Dynasty was mainly tin and copper, and no other substances are added, judging from the depiction on the shell, the scale of the Bronze Palace is not small, so much bronze will react in the damp underground, and directly affect the color of the soil layer." Xue Xinrou nodded and replied.

"Don't be that troublesome." I looked at Tian Ji and said lightly. "Your family is rich and rivals the country, should you take out that treasure to open my eyes."

"Baby...... Tian Ji's eyes lit up and he patted his head. yes, I didn't think about it. ”

Tian Ji hurriedly took out the golden compass from his bag, this thing can sense the underground gold and silver, if the Bronze Palace is near here, and there are nine tripods inside, the golden compass will immediately sense the location.

Sure enough, the moment the golden compass was taken out, the pointer on it began to turn, and we stopped in one place following the direction of the pointer.

"It's down there!" Tian Ji was excited.

Ye Jiuqing skillfully laid down the probe shovel, and the soil samples brought up made us happy, the front was still a normal soil layer, and the bottom layer of about ten centimeters deep was all red.

"It's less than ten meters deep, and you can dig into it overnight." Tian Ji lifted the shovel and his whole body was strong.

Ye Jiuqing's face suddenly looked solemn and confused, and he couldn't take his eyes off the soil sample at the end of the probe shovel, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he took some soil samples and rubbed them with his fingers.

"What's wrong?" I looked at Ye Jiuqing's expression and felt that something was wrong.

"It doesn't make sense, even if there is a bronze palace below, it won't make the soil layer change so much."

"Maybe it's because the scale of the Bronze Palace is larger than we imagined, and the Wenhe River channel appeared on it later, which was too wet, which aggravated the impact of the Bronze Palace on the soil layer." I say.

"It's not that I haven't dug up the bronzes of the Xia and Shang periods, and the soil layer will indeed be affected by the rust of the bronzes, but even if the soil layer is close to the bronzes, it will only change by less than two centimeters at most, but why is it so deep that it is ten centimeters here, from the depth of the color, if I continue to hit down, the soil layer below will be red." Ye Jiuqing shook his head and said.

Xue Xinrou took out a test strip from her bag, she said that because she was looking for a bronze palace, she had prepared in advance, since it was a bronze object, she could determine whether it was this metal on the test paper.

She took a soil sample and put it on the test paper, and after a while, Xue Xinrou's expression became solemn, and she looked up at us and her voice was surprised: "It's strange, this is not a reaction caused by the rusty soil layer of the bronze, and there is no bronze material in the test paper clue." ”

"How can so much red dirt be? Could it be that there is red clay underneath? Shen Buregret said.

"Laterite doesn't exist in the geological layers near Yangzhou, and it doesn't occur so deep underground, and the color of the so-called laterite is much less deep than here." Xue Xinrou shook her head.

Gong Jue took a soil sample and rubbed it a few times, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and was suddenly surprised: "This, this is blood!" ”

Generally speaking, blood penetrates into the soil layer, and will slowly dilute and disappear, if you want to leave a blood-red color, the blood needs to be coagulated in the soil layer for a long time, and at the same time, there can be no water to penetrate into it, in this case, it may dye the soil into the red we see today.

But!

Ten centimeters, maybe this depth is far more than what we see now, such a deep layer of soil is all stained red, how much blood is needed, we can't calculate at all, I also took some soil layers, I recovered part of the power of destruction in the Immortal Palace, I can distinguish the components of the blood, when I touched the soil layer, my heart was suddenly shocked.

"These, these are all human blood!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, Tian Ji casually found a place to dig a cave, and the soil samples brought up were still shocking blood red, and the same was true in several places, that is, the area under our feet was now soaked in unimaginable blood.

"Could it be the one who built the Bronze Palace in the first place?" Tian Ji looked at us and said. "This place hides the Kyushu Ding, and there are also secrets of the gods hidden on it, and the location of the Bronze Palace must not be revealed, so all the people involved in the construction were finally wiped out."

"Although the bronze palace depicted on the shell is magnificent, the overall scale is not large, and it should not take too long to build such a bronze palace, and there will not be too many people involved in the construction." Xue Xinrou shook her head and said. "It's not impossible that you're talking about it, but the problem is that the soil in this area needs to be impregnated like this...... I don't even dare to calculate how much human blood is needed to do this. ”

"I don't think it should be this reason, among all the ruins of the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, we have not found that there has been a pit killing and servitude, the Zhou Dynasty is heavy on etiquette and the Xia Dynasty is heavy on morality, and it is against virtue to ignore human life, not to mention that Dayu is to build a bronze palace for gods, I believe that such a tragic thing will never be done." Gong Jue also did not agree with Tian Ji's idea.

"It's not for nothing that people kill people and preserve the underground ruins, but don't forget, it's all done by mortals, and the gods don't need it at all, if you want to cover up the existence of the Bronze Palace, you only need to erase the memories of the people who participated in the construction, which is far simpler than killing so many people." I shook my head in certainty. "This blood should have been left by someone else."

"Don't worry about it for now, since the golden compass shows that the Bronze Palace is below, dig in it first." Field chickens ask for our opinion.

The most experienced tomb here is Ye Jiuqing, he hesitated for a long time or nodded, fortunately, the soil here is loose, we haven't dug for long and there is a depth of five or six meters, and at this time, the blood-red soil layer began to appear in front of us, and every shovel brought up was shocking blood.

Gong Jue subconsciously covered her nose, her senses were keen, and her expression was not scared, but after we dug up the soil, we could vaguely smell the smell of blood mixed with the soil.

The deeper we dig, the wetter the soil becomes, slowly converging into a pool of blood in front of our eyes.

"Stop!" Ye Jiuqing suddenly stopped.

While!

As soon as Ye Jiuqing's voice fell, Tian Ji, who hadn't had time to stop, hit something with the shovel in his hand, and made a collision sound, but it was not the crisp sound made by the bronze, but it should be very hard, Tian Ji was too hard, and it was estimated that his hand was a little numb and kept pinching.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"The soil here is loose and abnormal, as if it has been excavated before, and the soil is so wet, which means that there is a gap underneath, and if I continue to excavate rashly, I am worried that something will happen."

"Uncle Ye, look at what this is" Tian Ji who was squatting in the pit looked up and asked.

In the light of the flashlight, we saw a stone with a round mouth, everyone cleaned up the dirt around us, and a casserole-shaped thing appeared in front of us, and it was empty from the round mouth downward.

"It's an ancient well!" Shen Buregret said next to him.

"How can there be a well?!" I was taken by surprise.

Shen Buregret explained to us that the location of Yangzhou is located in the alluvial plain of the Yangtze River, the upper layer is the river flooding beach facies sediment, the lower layer is the riverbed facies sedimentation, there are lakes in the north, and there are canals in the south, so the groundwater resources on the ground are very rich.

How many ancient wells are there in Yangzhou, the specific number of which is impossible to verify even by the archaeological institute.

"But this is the first time I've seen this style of ancient well." Shen said without regrets.

"Are you saying that the ancient well was excavated after the city of Yangzhou was built?" Ye Zhiqiu squatted by the ancient well and asked.

"Yes, since the founding of Yangzhou more than 2,000 years ago, digging wells and drinking is the main way for Yangzhou people to get water." Shen Buregret nodded and replied.

"I'm afraid this well was not built after Yangzhou was built." Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the edge of the wellhead and said. "These lines are very old, the lines are rough and simple, very similar to the Gomoire pattern in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but it is earlier than the appearance of the Gomoire pattern, which shows that this is the pattern of the Xia Dynasty."

"Don't you feel that this well looks like a big ding?" Xue Xinrou looked back and forth for a long time and said.

Ye Jiuqing looked at it, silently walked to the edge of the well and looked inside, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This is not a well!" ”
