Chapter 15: Blood and Earth

As soon as we heard that the soil was a little special, we turned our eyes to the master, but we didn't see any difference, but since the master said that the soil was a little special, then there must be a new discovery, there must be something under the child's bones, in fact, the rammed earth of this tomb is also very different. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

I saw that the young master put his hand down and said, "This is poor land!" "But there seemed to be a hint of blood red in the color of the earth.

I know that the poor soil refers to the soil after the burial, or refers to the soil piled up, that is, the five-flower soil, the five-flower soil is layered, and the ordinary loess does not, only the soil on the tomb will be layered and the color of the soil in the master's hand, and it is obvious that the soil color under the pile of white bones is obviously different from the soil color in other places.

When digging a pit tomb, the layers of cooked soil and raw soil of different colors in the pit will be dug out, and after burial, these mixed soil will be backfilled into the pit, forming the so-called "five-flower soil", which is the clue to the discovery of the tomb under normal circumstances.

After excavation and backfilling, the natural soil is stirred twice, disrupting the original layers and color boundaries, and becoming a flower soil that combines a variety of soil layers, that is, five-flower soil and large flower soil, even if the flower soil is old, it cannot be combined, so this has become a major clue to the discovery of tombs.

The second uncle saw that the master said this, we are not completely sure, but after all, we found the white bones here, although we don't know what the relationship between this urn burial and this tomb is, but now eight or nine are not far from ten, there must be some tomb under the white bones, in order to further determine, the second uncle asked Abu to take the Luoyang shovel over, and carry out the next step of taking the soil.

The second uncle said: "Abu, drill down the Luoyang shovel and take a look, the soil below here seems to be a lot looser." ”

When Abu heard this, he hurriedly took the Luoyang shovel over, gently lifted the pair of white bones aside, and then inserted the Luoyang shovel directly into the ground, Abu still muttered in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I have to move your bones!" And Abu looked at the child's bones and said, it seems that Abu is still in awe of these dead people in his heart, although he always likes to say that these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are paper tigers, but he just likes to chatter, and the real thoughts are only known to him.

After a while, I saw that Abu had inserted the Luoyang shovel into the ground, and kept drilling into the ground to enter the Luoyang shovel, after all, the Luoyang shovel is a bit like a spear, the head is very pointed, the handle is very long, and there is a very deep groove, saying that the Luoyang shovel is a weapon, in fact, it is very reluctant, the inventor of this thing is a nameless tomb robber, and later archaeologists also use it, until today. If you see a person with a huge Luoyang shovel, then he must be a gravedigger, archaeology or tomb robber, of course, we don't need to say, we only say that we are inverted and sand, but we will not say that we are tomb robbers, after all, we have to save some face.

The use of Luoyang shovel is of course to identify the soil Luoyang shovel can be pierced into the soil one or twenty meters deep, when pulled out, its groove with deep underground soil, the soil that has not been reclaimed is very pure, and if there is an ancient tomb, the soil must be dug out and then filled back, the composition of the soil is mixed, the jargon is called five flower soil, experienced curtain diggers are to rely on the naked eye to distinguish the composition of the soil, to judge whether the miscellaneous soil under the bottom will be a grave, and through several different directions of drilling, to find the best place to dig.

Traditional tomb robbers often use the Luoyang shovel to dig a small hole in the tomb that only allows one person to climb in and out, and then go in a person, hand out the property found inside, only two people are needed if the least number of people is needed, and finally use a rope to hang the one below, but sometimes out of black heart, the tomb robbers will abandon the accomplices who climbed down in the hole, and later excavate some stolen tombs, sometimes find such poor people, so the accomplices who are often inverted are often husband and wife, father and son, and brothers. But we don't do such unreasonable things, that kind of people can't be among us.

Tomb robbery also needs some archaeological knowledge, we need to understand the structure and grade of the ancient tomb, and we should also be able to know how much the cultural relics we dig up are worth, but there are many tomb robbers in modern China who are amateurs, driven by the pursuit of money to do this business, some priceless treasures, they don't know the value at all, often one or two hundred, five or six hundred, at most a few thousand yuan are sold to cultural relics dealers, and my family is originally in the antique business, so if there is really any treasure below, it will not escape our eyes, But this time, as long as you can find the so-called point through the building, thank God.

Now the way of robbing tombs is also because of the change of science and technology by leaps and bounds, some tomb robbers use explosives to open the way, that is the authentic archaeologists do not dare to try, they use the Luoyang shovel to probe the ancient tomb, along the small hole dug into a plastic pipe, and then into the tube into the plastic explosives, install a detonator, after a bomb, the original hole will naturally expand evenly into a pipe that can accommodate a person to slip down, and the plastic pipe is dissolved into a film, can prevent the soil from leaking down, This technique was originally used to dig wells, but it has become a skill for quick tomb robbery, all in all, without the Luoyang shovel, don't want to find any tombs, of course, except that the master has this special ability.

Just after Abu shoveled down, he suddenly heard a sound from the bottom of the Luoyang shovel, and a stream of red liquid rushed out, and we were already frightened when we saw it, and the master immediately understood what it was, and said: "This is blood!" ”

As soon as we heard that it was blood, we hurriedly took a few steps back, for fear that we would encounter some kind of bloody corpse again, but looking at the situation, there must be some corpse or something down there.

At this time, the master said: "You go back first, Abu and my father will shovel it here." ”

We are not verbose, since the master said so, I had to retreat, I retreated directly and leaned against a pine tree, Abu saw the blood, his expression was also stiff for a moment, if it wasn't for the master to remind him next to him, I'm afraid he was still in that daze, and the second uncle stayed in place.

After Abu reacted, he pulled the Luoyang shovel out of the soil vigorously, only to see that the Luoyang shovel was all red with blood, and those soil were accompanied by a smell of blood, although I stood far away, but the smell still reached my nose.

Abu threw the side of the Luoyang shovel king, and then he and the master began to shovel up the soil there, each shovel went down, and the soil brought up was red, and the soil was piled up next to it, and there was blood oozing out of it.
