After taking a bath, the group gnawed on dry food, the pores of the whole body seemed to be about to open up, lying on the warm sand and gravel was simply refreshing, the first two days were still soaking in the cold river water, compared to the fat man sighed that finally our serfs turned over and sang.

This hot spring water is really what Feng Qiyun said, and it has indescribable benefits for the healing of wounds, and the piece of meat on the fat man's ass has already scabbed, but there are also disadvantages in this night, there is no firewood to be found, and the land is desolate.

Cha Wenbin sighed: "I really think that when I arrived on the Great Gobi Desert, where did I think it would be like this." ”

Ding Shengwu also said: "When I was young, I went to fight with a few brothers, and I chose a tomb of the Queen Mother in the tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty, which is several similar to this scene. At that time, I was young, and there were many people waiting for a place in the family, so I wanted to come out, and now when I look at you, I realize that I am really old. ”

The fat man laughed and said, "Old man, you are not old, you are happy to run away when you rushed to the hill today." ”

This guy didn't notice who he might offend when he spoke, anyway, in his eyes, the only people in the world who could still make him a little more restrained were Cha Wenbin and Comrade Qiushi, the latter has now withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and he is left alone to continue to be lawless.

Ding Shengwu glared at him angrily, but the fat man said disapprenously: "Old man, I have admired you for a long time, why don't you tell us the story of the tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty?" ”

It just so happened that Jiu'er was probably bored, so he also pestered his grandfather and said: "Grandpa, you can tell it, Jiu'er liked to listen to grandpa tell stories the most when he was a child, and you haven't talked about it for a long time when Jiu'er is older." ”

Ding Shengwu looked at his granddaughter helplessly, but this atmosphere is indeed quite suitable for storytelling, here are some juniors, Ding Shengwu also readily agreed to the request, a generation of heroes He probably never dreamed that one day he would follow a group of children to tell his past, from his sharp eyes, how can the life of this hero be told by a story?

"I was twenty-one years old that year, and the Ding family had four sons who could inherit the ancestral business, and I was the third in line. When your grandfather was young, he was so brave and fierce, he only thought about winning and not losing, and I wanted to make a big show for them at that time......"

As soon as the box was opened, Ding Shengwu also spoke.

It was still a war-torn era, the three provinces of Guanzhong were rampant with the Japanese, the Kuomintang, the guerrillas and bandits, the Japanese occupied Guanzhong naturally will not let go of the underground cultural relics, the people's wanton looting and barbaric destructive excavation have once caused this cultural relics treasure land to be unprecedentedly damaged.

As the leader of the underground world in Guanzhong, the Ding family is not only a figure with a face on the ground, but also the object of all forces.

Rohmin has been born only outside the force since ancient times, and they are themselves a force, and Rohmins, who have always bowed to the strong, had to be restrained at that time, and they can only do some small business on weekdays.

There is an old saying called gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, and the unpeaceful world has made the antique trade also fall into underestimation, and the Ding family urgently needs something of sufficient weight to maintain its position in the current turmoil.

Ding Shengwu, who was not qualified to look through the treasure map at that time, decided to do it with his second brother Ding Shengwen.

In this ancient poem, it is said that the ancient mounds under Helan Mountain are thick, and the height is like floating water. Dao Feng ancient told me that the clouds were the kings and marquis of the past...... These generations know that the royal tomb is there, but several generations have no way to take those mounds, I have also heard that the place is a little evil, but if I don't pick a tough battle, my qualifications at that time can't turn over, I still decided to take a risk. ”

Located at the foot of Helan Mountain, the empire founded by Tuoba Sigong, the leader of the Dangxiang clan during the Tang Dynasty, was once rampant in northwestern China, and the royal family was given the surname "Li" to the Tang dynasty

。

In the park in 1038, when Li Yuanhao founded the country, he took Xia as the country name and called "Great Xia"

, and because it is in the West, the Song people called it "Western Xia"

Since then, an imperial dynasty belonging to the foot of Helan Mountain has officially opened the prelude to history, and has been dominating the northwest for more than 200 years.

This empire developed by the nomadic minorities in the north is famous for its brave and warlike style, but by the integration of Han Dynasty culture, the works left behind are very characteristic of the grassland people and the essence of Han Dynasty craftsmanship, which is a rare and precious collection.

The vast Helan Mountain foot Gobi Desert is vaguely distributed nine imperial tombs, more than 200 princes and princes of the funeral tombs, the scale is magnificent, the layout is rigorous, each imperial tomb is sitting north to south, is a longitudinal rectangular ** building group, absorbing since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Tang and Song Dynasty imperial tombs, and influenced by Buddhist architecture are all tower-shaped, also have the name of the Oriental pyramid.

With the decline of the Western Xia Dynasty, these royal tombs also went to a lonely place, and a group of artists who fought backwards immediately stared at these magnificent but unattended imperial tombs, especially when Genghis Khan destroyed the Western Xia, plundered these royal tombs, but unexpectedly, whether it is historical records or folklore, there is almost nothing valuable found in these Western Xia royal tombs.

There were no funeral goods in the tomb of a once invincible imperial king, no one believed this word, so generations of tomb robbers followed one after another, Ding Shengwu said that there were many good hands that were folded in the tomb of the Xixia king, anyway, he had seen very few antiques about the Xixia Kingdom on the market.

Like those predecessors, he was also convinced that there must be countless treasures in the tombs of the Western Xia kings, and for some reason they have not been found, this is a good opportunity to leave a name for the ages, as long as he can find the imperial mark that belongs to that era, then his status in the rivers and lakes will rise overnight.

Ding Shengwu also had some supporting forces within the family at that time, and most of the children of these forces were friendly with him, so he took his second brother, who had always had a good relationship, and a group of brothers, a total of more than a dozen people, to the western foot of Yinchuan.

At that time, the tomb of Li Yuanhao, who was considered to be the founding leader of the country, had not yet been excavated, and Ding Shengwu chose his wife, the famous favorite concubine, the later Empress Ye Lishi, and the tomb of Empress Xiancheng!

This woman is a master of harem fighting, using slander and favor to eradicate dissidents and ascend to the throne, but her location remains a mystery after her death.

Ding Shengwu's ancestor has this map, which records the specific names of hundreds of tombs of the size of the Western Xia king's tomb, but the tomb of Empress Xiancheng is also not marked.

Since he wants to do it, he wants to be big, he just wants to prove his talent, and if I do something that my ancestors haven't done, wouldn't it be a great ability?

At that time, the situation was turbulent, and the Ding family, as the representative of the tomb robbery of the northern faction, was naturally well-equipped, in addition to the basic tools, they carried a large amount of gunpowder and guns at that time, and each person had two fast and slow machines with 20 rounds.

Ding Shengwu analyzed that Empress Xiancheng was Li Yuanhao's favorite woman, if she was not buried with Li Yuanhao, then she must be nearby.

However, there were many enemies offended by Empress Xiancheng during her lifetime, including Li Yuanhao's former empress, which was a tribe with considerable power in the Dangxiang clan, because she was afraid of retribution after her death, so it is very likely that she hid herself in a corner and did not build this kind of pagoda-shaped tomb, because it is also rumored that this woman admired the Han culture in the south very much.

The vast Gobi Desert is full of thousands of holes of the tombs of the kings, these tombs are composed of the platform, the sacred wall, the stele pavilion, the corner tower, the moon city, the inner city, the dedication hall, the spirit platform and other parts, the specifications and grades are strict.

At that time, a fragment of the monument in the sacred wall of Li Yuanhao's tomb attracted the attention of Ding Shengwu, and most of the remnants of the emperor's tomb were engraved with his life history, but this fragment of the monument was not only empty but also appeared in the west of the tomb.

Since ancient times, the mausoleums are east-west, the east is the front, the west is the back, and theoretically the location of the stele pavilion should be in the east.

This slate-shaped stele made Ding Shengwu's intuition tell him that there was material here, so he immediately arranged for someone to dig the earth.

Ding Shengwu recalled: "At that time, the Luoyang shovel has been down almost ten meters out of the raw soil, until we connected the last section of the pipe to finally come out of the first piece of five-flower soil, at that time everyone was very excited, overnight lit a kerosene lamp to measure the direction, and finally settled down here There is an ancient tomb about 15 meters deep underground, in an east-west direction, about 40 meters long, about 10 meters wide, there are four ear chambers, a main tomb chamber. ”

The fat man could hear God's words: "Wow, that's a very large scale." ”

"At that time, I felt that it was clear that the tombs of the Western Xia kings were on the ground, but this tomb was too abnormal in the depths of the bottom, there were two possibilities, one was that this tomb was earlier than the tomb of the Western Xia kings, Li Yuanhao repaired the imperial tombs behind the ancestors, the probability of this kind of thing is not large, how can the emperor allow someone to grab land with him? There is also a possibility that this is a hidden tomb of the Western Xia kings, and they are afraid that people will know about its existence, so they do it deliberately. ”

Ding Shengwu and they worked all night to roughly determine the direction of the main tomb and then began to shoot the cannon hole, the extremely accurate positioning allowed them to directly find the vault of the main tomb, and the thief hole exposed by the cannon made them ecstatic, and they even drank the celebration wine in advance while waiting for the smoke to dissipate.

In the afternoon, the first two men began to fight, and difficulties began to appear, the part of the vault was unusually hard, and the two men made another horizontal hole below, and it was at this time that the danger occurred.

"That's in the Gobi Desert, I'm careless, since it's the Gobi here, there will be quicksand, the anti-theft design of this tomb is very ingenious, the position of the vault leaves a small area to fill with five-flower soil, in fact, there is quicksand all around, we were fooled."

At that time, the two of them didn't get up, and after predicting that they had encountered the most tricky quicksand tomb, Ding Shengwu once again proved that he was a talent.

"Brother Cha, what do you guess I did at the time?"

"In order to ensure the stability of the tomb, the quicksand tomb can be covered with quicksand all around, no matter how you hit the robbery hole, it will not work, I think the only possibility is to choose to go down vertically outside the quicksand layer, all the way down to below the horizontal line of the tomb, and then hit the horizontal hole to the bottom of the tomb, and then go up. The bottom of any tomb must be close to the layer of raw soil to be stable, which happens to be the only weakness that appears. ”

"Clever!"

Ding Shengwu stretched out his thumb and said, "It's really a shame that Brother Cha doesn't do a fight......

Saying that, he looked at Cha Wenbin's eyes, and he was more and more happy, how good it would be if such a good boy inherited my career......
