Chapter 12: The Ground for Raising Corpses

Black rammed earth! A symbol of the corpse ground!

No wonder Zhang Miao felt strange when he looked at the qi, he had never encountered this situation before, he didn't think about it for a while, and now he connected it with the terrain he saw earlier, the mountain col here and the peaks on both sides are clearly a "dog brain case", a superb corpse raising place full of ferocious aura.

Seeing Wang Shaoning's embarrassed performance, Wang Taifeng scolded his nephew for his nest, and walked over to pick up the shovel. When he picked up the shovel and stared at the dirt on the shovel for a while, his originally calm face suddenly became solemn.

The dirt was not only black, but also a faint red in the black, something he had never encountered before.

People are always afraid of the unknown, his apprentices are like this, and Wang Taifeng is the same, but in order to get the rumored Qin and Han ancient swords, he can't care about these, his expression only returned to normal in an instant, just reminding the apprentices to be more careful than before.

After such a play, Wang Taifeng rolled up his sleeves and did it himself, he took a shovel every five meters, and it took about an hour before the shape of the tomb was framed.

This frame is easy to look at, but it surprised him again.

According to the book, the site selection of the cemetery, Qin buried ridge, Han buried slope, and most of the ancient tombs in the Qin and Han dynasties were square, and they gradually became circular after the Tang Dynasty, which is the origin of what we often say "the ancient square is nearly round". However, what is framed in front of me is a circular tomb. Isn't this the tomb of the Qin and Han dynasties? Or maybe there is an error in the historical record?

The successive unusualness made the worry in his heart more and more serious, and his brows gradually squeezed into the Sichuan character, but the head has begun to go down, time waits for no one, and if you don't dig a hole, I'm afraid you will have to wait for tomorrow.

Choosing a place with relatively loose soil, he beckoned his apprentices and began to dig a robbery hole. Every time they dug down, the fishy smell weighed a little more, and in the end they had to put on gas masks in advance, which delayed their progress a lot.

In this way, it took three whole days to excavate, and when all the surroundings were covered with inky black and seeping earth, they found the first funerary object, carefully pulled it out of the soil, and found that it was a porcelain cup from the Han Dynasty.

It should be explained here that the burial method of the ancient tomb is different in each era, in addition to the imperial tomb, the tombs of the Han Dynasty are all buried in the soil, that is, after the coffin is put into the soil, the surrounding brackets are extracted and directly buried in the soil, and the tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties are all brick tombs, which are built with bricks to form a house-like burial chamber, and the coffin is placed in the center of the tomb.

Put away the ceramic cup, Wang Taifeng continued to dig down a distance, "poof", he picked up the soil, an incredible scene happened, there were blue-brown bricks in front of his eyes, it was clearly the outer wall of the Ming Dynasty tomb. The blue bricks that suddenly appeared in front of him made him look at it blankly for a while, and said to the apprentices behind him to rest, he took off the simple mask, and he didn't care about the fishy smell, he took out the dry tobacco pole from the bag, lit the fire, and began to analyze it on his stomach.

Things here seem to be more mysterious than the other, and the blue bricks of the Ming Dynasty were actually found in the tombs of the Qin and Han dynasties?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in his head, and he suddenly realized that he had been misleading himself since he entered the mountain pass, and he had always thought that the tomb in front of him was the tomb of the Qin and Han dynasties, and now it was not like that, or it was not exactly like that, and there were only two explanations left for everything that happened here in terms of possible surname.

The first possibility is that they dug up the wrong tomb, which should be a cemetery after the Ming Dynasty. It is very likely that the porcelain cup from the Qin Dynasty dug up was just a collector's item.

The second possibility, this is a tomb in the tomb, that is to say, the previous Qin and Han Dynasty princes built the tomb here, after a thousand years, after the Ming Dynasty, someone built their tomb on his cemetery, this possibility is relatively small, the average person chooses feng shui, even if it is to find a place to raise corpses, it will also avoid the tombs of others.

After thinking about this, it is also a lot clearer. But now the problem is also in front of him, continue to dig or stop there?

He said hello to the back, extinguished the cigarette pole, and a group of four people went out of the robbery hole, and when they came to the outside of the cave, they found that it was already pitch black outside, and the night insects hissed slightly, and it was already night.

They are so focused that they forget about time.

It was dark outside, and the temperature around the corpse farm was always very low, so they lit a small campfire and sat down in a circle.

Wang Taifeng told his apprentices about his analysis, and after a while of muttering, all four of them thought that they should continue digging. First of all, you can't waste time in vain after digging for three days, even if you dig it wrong, there must be something valuable under the corpse ground; Secondly, this tomb within a tomb is also a possibility, and the absence of a tomb cannot rule out this possibility.

It was not appropriate to go to the grave at night, so they checked the guys they had brought with them, and the first thing they took out was some explosives that they had brought in advance, which in those days became a necessity because gunpowder was relatively easy to handle; Then there are a few simple protective clothing, the tombs of the Ming Dynasty are generally only the outer brick walls are thicker, and the internal organs are relatively few, so this thing cannot be used for the time being. The last thing to come out was the guy for self-defense, an old-fashioned shell gun, and two machetes with a body of nearly forty centimeters.

After arranging this, they took turns to keep vigil and sleep, and prepare themselves to go to the grave the next day.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight passed through the cracks in the trees, Wang Taifeng woke up his apprentices.

When the manpower was in place, he pinned the shell gun to his waist and asked Zhang Miao to bring explosives in the front, followed by Shen Houzai with some thick and short hard tree trunks and followed him in, and Wang Taifeng and his nephew stayed outside to answer.

Zhang Miao and Shen Houzai took flashlights and went down to the thief cave again, and climbed in the thief hole for about ten minutes, and they came to the place where the green bricks were found yesterday. First, they used a shovel to dig a space more than half a meter high near the green bricks, and then used strong and thick branches to make brackets to reinforce the surrounding areas of the robbery hole, put explosives, and pull the lead far enough to retreat outside the robbery hole.

The amount of explosives is designed in advance, according to the general soil can withstand the destructive force, counting the bearing capacity of the supporting wooden frame, just control the explosion within a certain range, can ensure that the green bricks are blown up but not to destroy the hole. These are all knowledge, but fortunately, they have Wang Taifeng, a top master.

When they pulled the lead and slowly exited the cave, they saw Wang Taifeng smoking dry smoke, and the two of them retreated to the side in amusement.

Wang Taifeng picked out the remaining cigarette butts from the cigarette pole and threw them onto the lead, and the lead began to run down with the flames.

He took out a Western pocket watch from his bosom and estimated the detonation time based on the distance of the thief hole and the speed at which the fuse burned. The hands on the watch walked drippingly, and when they were twenty seconds, as Wang Taifeng shouted "boom", there was a muffled sound of "bang" from underground, and then he felt a slight tremor.

These are all expected things, and after about half a minute or so, the shaking stopped, and Mrs. Wang harvested the cigarette pole and greeted his apprentices with a smile, this is the advantage of experience, and you won't look flustered if you know everything.

As soon as he took a step, an accident struck, and the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and the birds in the forest flapped their wings and flew into the air.

Wang Taifeng's face turned pale, thinking about how this bit of explosives could have such great power, but before he could think about it, he felt a lightness under his feet, and the whole person sank along with the ground.

In desperation, he yelled: "Cover your face with your clothes!" Then he rolled off.

Then, the four of them fell together, and their bodies bounced back and forth several times, only to hit them with meat and eight vegetables, and their stomachs turned upside down, and finally fell to a flat ground.

I thought it was the end, but I never thought that my body was light, and a height difference of about three meters directly knocked everyone unconscious.
