Chapter 23: Rammed Earth Layer

Li Er, who is carrying a fire gun, can still shout for help now, it shouldn't be over for a while, what is there nearby that can make Li Er, who is carrying two big pythons and a fire gun alone, call for help so quickly? Three steps and two steps hurried to the camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Back in the camp, Li Er turned on the flashlight, but the bonfire that was burning very vigorously was gone, and the ground was replaced by a circular pit, Li Er's whole person was hanging on the edge of the pit, the knife in his hand was stuck in the soil, and his hands were clutching the handle of the knife exposed on the ground, and the two big hounds kept turning in circles around the edge of the pit. We hurriedly rushed over and pulled Li Er up from the pit, and there were sporadic firewood in the pit that had not been burned completely, and we pulled out Li Er, and the two big hounds were still barking wildly, as if there was something terrible under the pit, and the barking was full of restless restlessness.

There are too many things that dogs are afraid of, but for this kind of hunting dogs that survive the fittest in a harsh environment, the things that can make them so restless in the mountains and forests can be counted on their fingers, I took a flashlight and shone into the pit, except for the firewood that was not completely extinguished, there was nothing, and the four big hounds kept barking around the pit.

Looking around, in addition to the silence of the empty mountains, the night wind rustled the leaves in the forest, Wang Ye helped Li Er, who had long been frightened and paralyzed to the ground, and the fat man and I were clutching the fire gun with both hands, and sweat was oozing from the palms of our hands. It's not that we see something terrible, on the contrary, there is a dead silence all around, so quiet that our hearts are hairy.

I suddenly noticed that the sparks in the pit shook a few times, and by the sporadic firelight, I saw that the pit was about three or four meters deep, and no matter how I looked at it, these sparks did not want to be blown by the wind, as if they were pushed by something.

I hurriedly gestured to the fat man, Wang Ye whistled at the four hounds, took a few steps back, and the four of them looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: "Is there some monster down here?" ”

In this inaccessible original forest, it is not strange to encounter any kind of fierce beasts, but looking at it like this, it is not an ordinary beast to be able to dig such a large trap and maintain a certain vigilance for a few people on our ground.

Before he could think about it, the sparkling firewood in the pit suddenly splashed, and after a commotion, calm returned.

I took a flashlight and shone inside, the pit was not deep, there was nothing but unburned firewood underneath, look at the traces on the pit wall, and the geological knowledge mixed with the geological detachment in the mountains for three years was finally somewhat useful, almost certainly, this hole was not dug by hand, it looked like some kind of animal dug up from below with its claws, and the claws were very sharp, and he was a master of digging holes.

At first I thought it was a pangolin, but then I dismissed this idea, the pangolin is small, it is impossible to dig such a big hole, and secondly, the traces, although the claws of the pangolin are sharp, it is impossible to dig such a deep mark. I really can't think of what kind of animal it is, even Wang Ye, who has a lot of treasures for primeval forest animals, shook his head again and again, he has never heard of this animal, and he has never seen it.

I guess this hole should have caused us to light a bonfire on it to cause this thing to dig such a big hole, but what puzzles me is that it took so much effort to dig such a big hole, and Li Er obviously fell into the hole with half of his body, why wasn't it eaten? Could it be that this thing is vegetarian? This is just a guess before reaching a conclusion, this Broken Soul Mountain is just like the name, Broken Soul Mountain, even if it is not eaten, such a big pit comes out of thin air, the timid have long been scared to death, and I don't know how many dangers will be waiting for us in front, no wonder the people who have been to this place before are either dead or crazy, I really want to know what they have encountered, and I am praying in my heart not to be bumped into by us, and the contradictory mentality will always make people entangled.

I turned to them and said, "It seems that we can't wait for dawn, we have to move overnight, this place is inaccessible, and at night I don't know what kind of beasts will be infested, maybe we will only be safer if we enter the closed tomb."

Four people and four dogs, flashlights along the original road and back to the riverbed closest to the lake, Santai Mountain and our mountain is separated by a river, more than ten meters wide river flow is relatively slow, we divide the things evenly to each person, one person a bag, a dog in front of the way, who wants to swim can not swim can be on the body of the hound to rest for a while.

Luckily all four of us were good at water, Wang Ye whistled, and I led the way with a hound. To say that this kind of big hunting dog from the survival of the fittest is not only sensitive, but also quite good physical strength, Li Er almost sank several times, but was pulled up by this big hunting dog, and finally swam to Santai Mountain on the opposite bank smoothly without danger.

As soon as the fat man came ashore and gasped: "I said, Lao Zou, this is more powerful than our armed swimming in the army, I don't know if they drove me away, Old Man Deng knows or not, until the fat man I can carry a weight of 70 kilograms to cross a river with arms, the old man must not let them go, do you say?" ”

I said, "If Mr. Deng knows, then I will definitely give you a big red flower, and then write a plaque for your old man 'Tiger Father No Dog', and then your old man's face will be happy." ”

Wang Ye and Li Er were not as good as the two of us who had been soldiers, and for a while they had to rest for a while with the help of the hounds, and the resistance of the water flow was more than ten meters wide and the river was stunned for more than ten minutes.

Safely to Santai Mountain, we are much closer to the ancient tomb, along the riverbed to a peak in the middle, the peak is not high, but the road is really difficult to walk, usually ten minutes away, because it is dark and unfamiliar with the terrain we walked for almost an hour, to the place I took out the compass to compare the terrain, and looked at the time and said: "The time is still early, if there is really an ancient tomb here, there is only this position." ”

The fat man was a little impatient, took out the sapper shovel in his backpack, spit two mouthfuls of spit on his hand, and said, "What are you waiting for, digging." ”

I wanted to take a closer look, but the three of them took out their shovel tools and just didn't care so much, and dug them up. Except for the fat man, who had a German-made sapper shovel in his hand, the rest were shovels from the countryside, and when I came, I had sawed off a section of the shovel so that I could carry it with me.

There are not many trees on Santai Mountain compared to other places, but no one has visited them for many years, and the ground is full of dead branches and leaves like other places, and the shovels in their hands are flying up and down, and each time they can lift a large piece of silt, the four people take turns to go into battle, digging five or six meters deep to see the relatively hard soil. I grabbed a handful with my hand and put it in front of the flashlight to look at it, and it was different from the other soil around me, and it was a little blue, yes, this is the sealed soil, and then I will soon be able to dig into the burial chamber.

When digging to the tomb, the color of the soil has changed again, it is white, then we have to be careful, usually the black sealing soil is covered on the surface of the tomb, this color is arranged according to the five elements, green, red, yellow, white, black in this way against the wood, fire, earth, gold, water, the wood is the main germination upwards so it is in the top layer, the water represents the moist so in the bottom layer, each layer is exquisite.

Some tombs have anti-theft mechanisms, some people say that the anti-theft mechanisms of ancient tombs after the Song Dynasty are the most advanced and mature, most of the ancient tombs before the Tang Dynasty are very large, even if it is a small prince, the tomb is often large and amazing. Especially this kind of princes who hold real power, although it is impossible to have a huge project like the emperor's tomb, and the number of people mobilized is limited, the things in it are not ambiguous at all, otherwise they are not worthy of such a piece of feng shui treasure.

The ancient Dian State existed in the Qin and Han dynasties more than 2,000 years ago, with a total history of only 390 years, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the further promotion and consolidation of the county system of the Han Dynasty and the migration of a large number of Han people, the Dian State and the Dian people were gradually decomposed, integrated, assimilated, and finally disappeared completely. Also because of the influence of the Han culture, the ancient Dian Kingdom also introduced many advanced technologies of the Han people in the tomb anti-theft measures, Sima Qian described the Mausoleum of the First Emperor: "Wear three springs, go down to the copper and cause the coffin, the palace is full of strange artifacts and strange artifacts. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and shoot it if he is close. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. Take mermaid ointment as a candle, and those who will not be extinguished will last for a long time." It is simply a realistic version of the anti-theft textbook of the ancient tombs of the Qin and Han dynasties.

These organs have experienced a history of thousands of years, and it is impossible to have such advanced technology as the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to ensure that the organs will not be corrupted for thousands of years and will not be damaged for thousands of years.

Before I knew it, it was already dawn, and Wang Ye took two hunting dogs to the forest to hunt and prepare lunch, and when the food was ready, he sent a hunting dog to call us.

After the division of labor, the fat man and I continued to work below, and the sapper shovel in the fat man's hand bounced back, digging a layer of hard soil, which was as solid as a rock, and the fat man used all his strength to shake out the bloodshot of the tiger's mouth, and only a white mark appeared.

The fat man rubbed his hands and scolded with a somewhat numb tiger mouth: "****, why is there still concrete?" What the hell are we going to do, we don't have explosives with us, and we can't move the guns. ”

I said: "This is the rammed earth layer, the general princely tomb will use rammed earth as the foundation, the top can appear on the rammed earth layer, it seems that the ancient tomb below is not small, most of the rammed earth in the ancient tomb has the palace secret recipe modulation, and then use the dry base layer to ram the soil layer, which is harder than the current concrete, not to mention the firecracker, even if it is to give you ten eighty-one style you."
