Chapter 18: ZT Tomb Road

There is also a shop head buried in the soil on the other side, we can only dig out the shop head before continuing to dig down, there are so many of us, digging this depth is not much difficulty, but it is really a little laborious, because we don't know what is behind the tomb door, always have to save some effort, so it is best to change people to take turns digging. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is to dig in turns, on the one hand, to control the wind, on the other hand, to prevent changes in the tomb door, the things in the tomb are always so difficult to determine, and at the same time let the resting people pay attention to the changes in the tomb door at any time, on the other hand, so that everyone can have time to rest, I dug the top layer of soil, and then replaced it with Abu and Erbo, so that it is much easier to change around.

Abu turned back to us while digging, and he said, "What do you say the tomb will be like here, why is this tomb door buried directly in the soil, and there is no road or anything like that, I also know that the idea of building a tomb is not called something like death?" Why did the owner of this tomb close his door! ”

Abu's statement is not unreasonable, the traditional tomb corridor will not be sealed with soil, but the corpses and those who have not lost blood are stored in the upper layer of the isolation board, so it is no wonder that the owner of the tomb will choose to close the corridor in front of the tomb.

The second uncle was also digging the soil below, and when he heard Abu say this, he stopped all of a sudden, and said to Abu: "If you want to dig, dig quickly, where is there so much nonsense, do you think this is like an ordinary road?" ”

The master seemed to have noticed something, but it seemed that he reacted because Abu and the second uncle said these words, only to see the master faintly take a step forward and say: "At this time, ZT tomb road, now there is such a name!" ”

"ZT Grave Road? What do you mean? Wang Dashan was puzzled, so he asked.

Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and explained: "Tomb Road and Yongdao are both modern conventional terms, in order to facilitate the description of tomb structures on a relatively uniform scale, and there is no mixed use. However, those called "tunnels" or "envy" and "埏" in ancient books may not have the distinguishing consciousness of today's people, but in front of us is what we now call ZT tomb road! ”

The old lady seemed to know this, and then said: "If a cave structure of the tomb has both a tomb and a corridor, it is easy to distinguish, the outside, that is, away from the tomb is the tomb road, the inside is the corridor, the corridor plays the role of connecting the tomb and the tomb or the tomb and the burial chamber, the tomb road is convenient for the tomb builder to take soil, easy to go up and down, and can also be used as a passage for the soul of the tomb owner, so the tomb road must be there and the corridor is dispensable, it can be seen that the tomb road outside has been closed, if nothing else, there is also a corridor inside!" ”

When they talk about this, in fact, I also understand that the width of the tomb road and the road is generally not equal, the road will be narrower, the bottom of the tomb road can be flat, sloped or with steps, the bottom of the road is generally flat, so that there will be a clear boundary at the junction of the tomb road and the road on the flat and section surface, if there is a door or the remains of the tomb door, it is easier to separate, and the tomb door made of these stone slabs happens to divide the two tomb roads on both sides, in fact, a road is blocked by a door.

All or at least the outermost part of the tomb is excavated in the open air, and backfilled after burial, and the tunnel is a horizontal hole-type passage, which can not be sealed, and is a completely covered space like the tomb; For the brick chamber tomb, the tomb road generally does not use bricks, and the top, wall and bottom of the road are likely to be the same as the tomb masonry, which is what the master said zt tomb road, in fact, it is a shape similar to it, and the real appearance is actually very complicated if it is open-air.

At this time, we didn't continue to ask, but Abu said below: "It doesn't matter what kind of tomb he is, can't he just dig it up, I don't care about this, as long as I can get in, the curse on this hand is too terrifying to remember!" ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, dig it quickly, time can't wait for us!" The second uncle urged Abu on the side.

Abu answered, and continued to dig down, and he didn't know what he was talking about, it seemed that he was yelling at the second uncle from time to time, and he felt wronged, so he could only bury his head in the mud, and we changed a few breaths for them, and then saw the bottom of the tomb door.

Wang Dashan had already replaced Abu at this time, and shouted excitedly below: "See, see, you can dig to the side!" ”

The second uncle held the shovel and dug to both sides, and slowly the entire tomb door was completely presented in front of us, and the patterns on it were basically displayed.

As we have seen before, there are some patterns of birds and beasts and snakes, and the two bunks are right in the middle of the tomb door, on both sides of the gap in the tomb door.

When Li Yahong saw that the tomb door had completely come out, he hurriedly said to us: "Come and open this wooden door with four people!" ”

"How?" I was puzzled and asked.

"This shop can be opened, there is no tomb owner still on his own door to make any mechanism, if there is, let me block, I will go to the middle, you go to both sides, believe me!" Li Yahong observed the structure of the tomb door and said after a moment.

We had to listen to him, but when I followed him, I first glanced at the master, and I saw that the master also nodded, and then followed my father, and then I was completely relieved, and stood on the left side of the tomb door, Abu and the second uncle stood on the other side, and then their hands were already in the gap on the edge of the tomb door.

We don't rub shoulder, standing on both sides, the crows they see that we seem to be a little laborious, and they also came to help us, at first the tomb door was still motionless, we used the Luoyang shovel as a crowbar, and soon heard the sound of stones accompanied by the opening of the tomb door, and then Li Yahong stood in the middle, and the master also went over to pull one of the shops, and soon the tomb door drove the loose soil under the ground to the outside, and the tomb door slowly opened.

When we saw the tomb door open, we hurriedly retreated, and there were stones on both sides of the tomb door, if we didn't go back, I was afraid that we would have to be caught in our hands, and the sound of the tomb door opening was very harsh, like the sound of a bench rubbing against the floor, which sounded extremely uncomfortable.

The old lady, Qianyu and Zhang Yuntian were facing the tomb door, and we couldn't see what was inside when we stood on the side, but I couldn't find the words to describe Qianyu's expression, it seems that the things inside are not simple.

I was also curious, and hurriedly stood in their place to look inside the tomb door, and as soon as I saw it, I immediately understood what was going on, so I exclaimed, "What a road!" ”

But the difference about this road is that it bends downward!
