"What a money junkie!" After the boss left to prepare, Lao K scolded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I looked at Old K and replied with a smile, "Aren't you?" ”
"I ...... I am...... Am I? Old K couldn't say a complete sentence for a while.
Everyone nodded frequently when they heard it, and Lao K was speechless when he looked at it.
The boss re-served a table, we had a full meal again, even a little overeating, after eating this table, the time was not early, the night came, the light outside was only starlight, we left the small shop on the grassland and drove to the destination.
When they arrived at their destination, they continued to dig again.
I was the first to go down to the robbery hole, although the robbery hole was small, but it was still no problem to work with a small tool such as a sapper shovel, but the stonework exposed in the robbery hole still could not see the whole picture, and I could not know what it was.
I dug carefully with a sapper shovel, and the soil on the side of the stone masonry was very clean, but the soil, there was no mixture of sand and gravel in it, and there was no obstacle to the work of the sapper shovel, which was quite smooth.
When I saw the stone masonry, I knew that there was something underneath, and I was not energetic enough, so I dug down hard, and after a while, I dug a pit, and a stone slab appeared under the stone masonry.
"Qin Qi, what did you dig up underneath?" Yang Gang, who stole the entrance of the cave, asked me.
I replied, "Judging by the appearance, it should be a stone slab blocking the bottom." ”
"Slate?" Yang Gang muttered, and then asked me, "Could it be Shimen?" ”
"Stone Gate?" Several people above said at the same time.
If the stone door appears, then the tomb passage may have been found, and if you open the stone door to enter, you can enter the tomb through the tomb passage, and the tomb owner and the burial goods are in the burial chamber.
"Are there any patterns on the slate?" Yang Gang asked me on top.
"No findings at the moment." I answered truthfully.
I continued to dig to both sides, digging for a while, and did not dig to the end, I don't know how long the stone masonry on the top is, after a while, still not arrived, I gave up and continued to dig horizontally, this work is too much, and I dug down along the stone slab, until I was sweating profusely, and the stone slab that appeared in front of me was very smooth, not a single pattern, not even a word.
I climbed out of the thief hole, replaced Yang Gang and continued to dig.
After Yang Gang arrived at the bottom of the robbery cave, he was not in a hurry to dig down, but carefully observed, and then continued to dig downward, and soon dug to the bottom, and a threshold-like stone appeared at the bottom, which, combined with the beams above, looked like a stone gate.
"It's a stone door." Yang Gang said to us below, the voice came out through the thief hole, which was a bit weird.
I approached the thief cave and asked Yang Gang, "Yang liar, can you tell what dynasty it is?" ”
"I can't say for sure." Yang Gang said that we will continue to pick up the sappers and shovel digging, and we will continue to perform our duties on the ground.
Yang Gang didn't need to dig any further, but dug to the side, and dozens of minutes later, the news came out of the robbery hole, Yang Gang could already conclude what we had dug up, so he said: "This is a stone door." ”
"What dynasty?" I asked Yang Gang.
Yang Gang replied: "Judging from this stone gate, plus the situation above, it may be a tomb of the Yuan Dynasty." ”
Judging from the situation on the ground, it is indeed in line with the characteristics of the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, there is no hill on the ground, no monument is erected, no ground building is built, no tree is planted, after the deceased is buried, it is filled in, and it is leveled by cattle and horses, and soon after, grass grows on the new soil, and no one knows that there is a tomb underground.
"Yuan Tomb?" I was puzzled, and I couldn't associate the heirloom seal with the Yuan tomb for a while.
Below, Yang Gang was constantly shoveling the sound of the sappers, and his movements were faster than mine, and he quickly dug a large space in the ground and cleared the entire door.
"It should be the Yuan tomb, the door frames on both sides are made of blue bricks, and the door frames and stone doors are painted, but after a long time, in direct contact with the soil, the color of the painting has faded, and it is no longer possible to see what pattern is drawn." Yang Gang was groping and inspecting the stone gate, and obviously found something on the stone gate.
"Yang liar, can the stone door be opened?" I approached the entrance of the thief cave and said to Yang Gang below.
Yang Gang replied to us: "It should be possible, there is a top door stone inside, and the top door stone must be solved before the stone door can be opened." ”
"Yang liar, dig up a bigger space, have more people, and find a way to open the stone door together." Although I can't associate the Yuan Tomb with the Chuan Guo Seal, but at this time we have opened the robbery cave, let's go in and have a look, maybe there will be more discoveries, since it was the jade cicada who guided me to come here, then this place has at least something to do with the Chuan Seal.
"Okay, I'll rest and look at this stone gate." Yang Gang continued to observe Shimen.
The light in the thief cave was not good, and even if the flashlight was used, Yang Gang had to get close to see the details on the stone door.
For about two hours, our group was busy for a while, and finally Yang Gang said that all the stone gates had been cleaned up, and the space in front of the stone gates was also large, enough to accommodate a few people, and I went down to the bottom of the robbery cave again.
"Yang liar, yes, this space is enough for a few people to turn around." As I spoke, I turned on my flashlight and looked around, except for the side of the stone gate, the other three sides, Yang Gang did not dig on purpose, but just dug out a space for us to continue working.
My flashlight shone on the stone door, and I seemed to see the colors of the painting on the stone door, but it was so faint that it was almost invisible, and if I didn't look closely, I would definitely not be able to see it.
The stone door is two open and closed, and there is a shop head on the stone door in the middle, but the shop head is made of iron, which is old, and is in direct contact with the soil, and has long been decayed to non-existent, leaving only an obvious mark on the stone door.
I put the flashlight in my mouth, pressed my hands on the stone door, and pushed it in hard, but the stone door did not move, and not even a single clod of dirt would shake off.
"You can't push it open, there's a doorway stone inside." Yang Gang smiled and said to me.
The top door stone is the anti-theft mechanism of the ancient tomb, when the stone door is closed, the top door stone falls and begins to play its role, no matter what, the stone door can not be opened, unless the stone door is forcibly destroyed, otherwise it cannot pass through the stone door.
I took a step back and looked at the stone gate, there was no gap between the stone gates, like Cixi's tomb door had a gap, you could reach into the tomb robbery tools, and easily open the top door stone, so the stone door could be opened.
"So how do you open it?" I pointed to the stone gate and asked Yang Gang.
Yang Gang looked around, and then said to me, "Now there is only forced opening." ”
"Forced to open, of course I know how to open the stone door, either by smashing the stone door or by using explosives." I replied to Yang Gang, also looking for a better way.
