Chapter 617: Tomb Exploration Thaumaturgy
For a while, everyone was very curious about how Ye Jiuqing found the entrance to the ancient tomb, and it was in just three hours. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Jiuqing, you still have such a ability." Ying Penitential was confused. "You should tell me how you found it, and Uncle Seven said that maybe only you can do it, why?"
"The carving insect skill is not enough to worry about." Ye Jiuqing stood up and replied while patting the dirt on his body.
"I really have to talk about it, I also want to hear it, you taught me the ability to visit the tomb, what's the matter, you still have a hand?" It stands to reason that I should be able to do what Ye Jiuqing can do, but I really can't find the location of the ancient tomb in this river.
"You can't learn this, it's his unique skill."
Zhu Qi pointed to the dense cross piles around us and said, the ancient tomb under the river is a yellow intestine inscription, all made of steel cypress, which is a kind of wood that does not rot for thousands of years and the longer the time, the heavier the fragrance.
Since the golden halberd appeared outside, it means that there must be a crack in the ancient tomb, and the wood incense will penetrate into the soil layer along the crack, and after a long time, the wood fragrance will be very subtle to the ground.
That's why Zhu Qi asked Ying Qiyuan to arrange for the villagers to dig a ten-meter deep hole, and then insert the hollowed-out spotted bamboo into it, and the wood fragrance in the soil would float out along the bamboo tube.
Tomb robbers with this thaumaturgy specialize in the olfactory function of the nose, before the excavation of the tomb, take a pinch of tomb soil and put it under the nose to sniff, from the smell of the soil to distinguish whether the tomb has been stolen, and judge the age according to the color of the soil.
It is said that the best kung fu can use the nose to distinguish the subtle difference between the smell of the Han Dynasty tomb soil and the Tang Dynasty tomb soil, and the degree of accuracy is amazing.
"And the only one who can take the ability to smell to the extreme is Ye Jiuqing, this is his innate talent, even in the subtle smell of the ancient tomb, as long as it penetrates the ground, there is nothing he can't smell." Zhu Qi was not in a hurry to explain clearly.
Only then did we suddenly realize that Gong Jue was different from ordinary people's sensitivity in perception because she was learning the art of mechanism, and she squatted to the place pointed out by Ye Jiuqing and sniffed for a long time: "It's strange, I can't smell anything." ”
"This actually has nothing to do with the sense of smell, all you smell here is the smell of the soil below, and the wood fragrance is hidden in these smells but it is very weak, unless you have been in contact with the master of the ancient tomb for a long time, you can't tell this subtle change." Zhu Qi said.
Ye Jiuqing told him that the wood fragrance that seeped out here was the heaviest, and the crack should be below, he asked Tian Ji to hand over the probe shovel, and frowned after a few shovels: "Seventh uncle, I'm afraid three days is not enough, these silts are as hard as stones, and if you dig a thief hole that can accommodate people in and out, I am afraid that it will not be impossible in ten days and half a month." ”
"Don't worry about this, it's a big deal, I'll send someone to set up a month's running water mat in the village." Ying Cheng Yuan said.
"It's too long, I'm afraid that just a few of us may not be able to dig up the ancient tomb in half a month, and once it is discovered, the news will soon leak out." I shook my head and said.
"I have a way." Xue Xinrou next to her walked up. "But I still have to trouble Uncle Ying to do something more."
"Xinrou, if there is anything you need to speak, just ask."
"When the villagers are feasting, prepare a fireworks display in the evening, which lasts for five minutes, and the louder the better."
"You're going to use explosives?!" I reacted immediately.
Xue Xinrou nodded, the soil here is not suitable for excavation, and it takes too long, and the villagers have already laid a hole ten meters deep, and the explosives are filled in it and squeezed blasting, which can form a robbery hole in a very short time, and because of the explosion underground, the sound will be very small, and at the same time, there will be no soil left on the ground, and the most important thing is that the robbery hole is formed by squeezing, and there will be no collapse.
"I think Xinrou is this method, I am responsible for the filling of explosives, I am familiar with the operation of squeezing and blasting, if everything goes well, we can go down to the ancient tomb that night." Tian Ji said.
I looked at Ye Jiuqing, he and Ying Chengyuan were both looking at Zhu Qi together, I knew in my heart that for the most tomb exploration masters, they were extremely repulsive to this method of squeezing and blasting, and if they didn't think about it in normal times, they would refuse.
Now Ye Jiuqing and Ying Chengyuan are waiting for Zhu Qi to come up with an idea.
"It's come to this, how simple it is, we don't have to stick to the rules." Zhu Qi hesitated for a long time but nodded in agreement.
The next night, we rushed to the river, taking advantage of the night to bury and fill the explosives, and when the appointed time came, the fireworks in the direction of the village rose into the air, and the sky was lit up by the purple and red, and in the cover of the fireworks explosion, the chickens started the explosives, and with a dull blasting sound, I only felt that the ground under me was trembling slightly.
In five minutes, the field pheasants blasted three times in succession, and when the dust dispersed, we were presented with a bottomless black hole, and we could vaguely see the piles of wood under the light of the flashlight.
It seems that Ye Jiuqing really lived up to expectations, really found the crack in the ancient tomb, and after tying the rope, I said to Tian Ji: "You can't all go down, someone has to stay on it to guard, you have the best skills, and our lives are in your hands." ”
"I'm not going?" Tian Ji was a little disappointed and looked at the thief hole below. "But I also want to see the yellow intestine problem."
"Now we have to race against time, since the location of the ancient tomb has been found, you can come to see it at any time, Chao Ge thinks about it thoroughly, someone has to stay on it to control the wind, so let's do it, I'll stay with you." Ying Chengyuan touched the head of the field chicken and said.
"Regret Yuan, I have to go down, you know that the biggest regret in my life is that I didn't find the tomb of a nobleman, and now it's close at hand, I don't go down and panic." Tian Wanqing couldn't wait to say with a smile.
"I know you can't let it go, don't worry, there are still our grandfathers on this."
"Uncle Seven, if we don't go down and make trouble, let Chaoge and them go." Ye Zhiqiu said to Zhu Qi.
"This time it won't work, I've spent most of my life for this tomb, and if I don't go down to see it myself, I'm afraid I'll die."
"You're not going down?" I looked at Ye Jiuqing with some surprise. "Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun is in the tomb below, that is the clue left by the ancestors of the Peng family, you are the descendant of the Peng family, aren't you curious at all?"
"Of course I'm curious, but I'm not the only descendant of the Peng family, isn't there Zhiqiu and you......" Ye Jiuqing looked at me and Ye Zhiqiu with a faint smile. I'll leave it to you with the jade pig dragon, and the affairs of the Peng family will have to be shouldered by the two of you in the future. ”
I was stunned for a moment, I do have a heavy responsibility, including the ancient tomb I found now, but it is not what Ye Jiuqing expected, everything I did was to find the ancestors of these people around me, and then kill every fish that slipped through the net just like killing Ying Wu in the tower of the Demon Kingdom.
I avoided Ye Jiuqing's trusting gaze, and went down to the tomb first, the robbery hole happened to penetrate the tomb road, this is a rock pit pit tomb with a slope tomb road, both sides of the road are all made of thick yellow cypress wood, and the middle is filled with charcoal and white plaster mud, which plays the role of moisture-proof and sealing.
Although most of the yellow intestine wood is well preserved, the smell of wood rotting after being soaked in water is filled with all around, and the whole corridor is a little skewed.
"Everyone be careful, don't collide with the yellow intestine wood around, the tomb walls on both sides are all made of wood, just add a layer of edge wood on the top of the yellow intestine inscription to consolidate the whole structure, these wood plays the role of a load-bearing wall, so that the whole tomb structure is more tight." Tian Wanqing turned around and told us. "But the extent of the decay at the bottom is unknown, and if it is loosened, the entire burial chamber will collapse with it."
We nodded, holding the torch and walking forward cautiously, this yellow intestine inscription is far larger than we expected, just a tomb road is more than 100 meters, Ye Zhiqiu said excitedly, the record of the yellow intestine inscription first appeared in the Han book, and later unearthed several ancient tombs of this burial system, all of which are extremely significant archaeological discoveries.
But none of them can be compared with the yellow intestine question here, a light tomb road, all with polished smooth and flat, and the same length of the yellow heart cypress stacked, roughly counted, there are more than 3,000, this is just a tomb road, the cypress used to build the entire tomb is simply equivalent to a forest.
"No wonder this kind of burial system in later generations no longer appeared after the Western Han Dynasty, the amount of cypress wood consumed by such a tomb is amazing, and the emperor of heaven after the Western Han Dynasty, even if he wants to use such a tomb, it is estimated that it is difficult to do." Ye Zhiqiu said with emotion.
"Actually, I'm more curious about what is the identity of this monarch of the kingdom." Tian Wanqing muttered to herself as she walked forward.
I still have the confidence and confidence to visit the tomb, but it is the first time I have come into contact with the yellow intestine question, and the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is even more shallow, far less than Tian Wanqing, Ye Zhiqiu and Xue Xinrou know more, at this time, I regret not listening to Feng Cheng's words at the beginning, and read more books on this subject.
Listening to the conversation between them, Gong Jue and I couldn't interject at all, and Xue Xinrou asked in the back: "Aunt Tian, you know the history of the Kingdom of Yu best, don't you know the identity of the tomb owner?" ”
"The mausoleum of the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu has never been discovered, and there are very few records of the Kingdom of Yu in history, and what people are familiar with is only the allusion of the death of the lips and the cold teeth and the false Yu felling of the Emperor." Tian Wanqing's voice was puzzled. "I really can't understand that the Kingdom of Yu was just a small vassal state at that time, what did the monarch do, he could actually be rewarded with the gift of Jiuxi, and even after death, he could still enjoy the yellow intestine inscription of the Son of Heaven."
