Lantern Xiao looked at the prospect and couldn't help but sigh, "Zhuo Ran, the construction site on your family's ancestral house is neater than here!" ”
The place where we stood was a platform, and the space in front of us was a little lower than where we were standing. The reason why I call the place in front of me is because I really don't know how to describe it, the bare earth is just tamped and flattened, and some green bricks are piled on top of each other. Some of the walls are covered with a layer of white plaster, and some are simply mud walls.
The platform we were on had a few steps leading to the bottom, and Lantern Xiao and I walked down slowly. I was a little surprised when my feet stepped on the ground, and now it is in the season of cold to warm, and the ground under the ground will become a little soft, but this is not the case here at all, it is as hard as iron, and I even feel that the ground feels more solid than the green bricks.
It seems that this place is not as simple as we thought, and there are still some outstanding things under the seemingly chaotic appearance.
Lantern Xiao's attention was not on the ground, he looked around, "This place won't be messy, right?" This ancient tomb is also too child's play! That part of the tomb road just now was quite similar, and it has become like this here again! ”
I shook my head, "Actually, it's not as bad as you say, at least it's still under construction, but for some reason it's not finished!" ”
Lan Xiao nodded, "Okay, you said that for some reason, this place was not finished, which I can accept, but," as he said, Lan Xiao pointed ahead, "Look at this tomb road, it is narrow and low, and it is also a white plaster wall, the most incredible thing is that it is not straight at all!" According to what we just inferred, this is on the central axis of the ancient tomb, and this is the location of the main tomb road! ”
I looked in the direction pointed by the Lantern Festival, and sure enough, I saw that the main tomb road in front of us, which should have been imposing, seemed to be an alley at this time.
I also frowned and shook my head, "The scale of this place, and even the corresponding celestial feng shui, are all the best patterns. I didn't expect it to be ruined. ”
Lantern Xiao raised his flashlight and walked over thinking about the alley-like tomb road, "Let's go, go in and have a look, it doesn't matter if it's almost repaired, as long as the funeral goods are of sufficient specifications!" ”
I knew that Lantern Xiao was still full of thoughts about the spiritual weapon, so I shook my head and walked in after him.
We walked a short distance and I noticed that the white plaster on both sides of the tomb was also completed in a hurry, even if the construction level of the white plaster walls outside was much lower.
But as I walked a little further, I was surprised to find that there seemed to be a lot of things buried in the white plaster, because I saw a lot of bumps on the walls.
I walked over to one of them, pulled out my knife, and dug up, and soon I realized that the bulge I had dug out was the corner of the eaves of a building. Is there a house buried here?
Could it be that the owner of the tomb has built some buildings here to imitate the appearance of the outside, as we did when we first came in? Begin to ask, why was this building built and then reburied?
"Zhuo Ran, come and see this!" Not far away, Lantern Xiao also seems to have found some problems in the soil layer behind the white plaster.
When I walked to the location of the Lantern Festival, I saw something peeking out of the white plaster wall, and I scraped off the soil with a knife to reveal its general appearance. I found the top of this colonnade.
Seeing this, I suddenly had an idea in my heart, I think we might have guessed wrong from the beginning!
In order to test this idea in my mind, I began to continue to look for similar parts of the building.
We found that the tomb road here is not only narrow and not straight, but also seems to have no regularity at all, the ancients paid attention to horizontal and vertical, due south and north. First of all, it is not auspicious to turn the corner of the mountain.
The doubts in my mind grew stronger as I navigated through these labyrinthine graveyards.
Eventually, we found a complete corner of the building, including the roof, the arches, and part of the door, on a wall without white plaster.
Seeing this, my heart suddenly suddenly disappeared, and the doubts in my heart suddenly disappeared, and I even smiled involuntarily.
Lantern Xiao looked a little hairy on the side, "Zhuo Ran, are you okay, don't scare me!" Don't be like Ma Jun, I can't handle two crazy people. ”
I ignored Lantern Xiao's words, turned to Lantern Xiao and said, "The reason why we have always felt that this ancient tomb is very strange and weird is because we have preconceived and misjudged the construction form of this ancient tomb from the beginning!" ”
Lantern Xiao didn't understand, "What do you mean by this?" ”
I pointed to the corner of the roof in front of me that was buried in the earth, "Do you remember the buildings we saw in the walls when we first came in?" ”
Lantern Xiao nodded, "Of course I remember!" What's wrong? ”
"You saw those, and now you see this, what do you think?" I continued to ask about the Lantern Festival.
Lantern Xiao looked at me in surprise, "Of course, it is the same situation as outside, the owner of the tomb must also want to build a similar street here, or even a city, just like the construction of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which is nothing more than a manifestation of the tomb owner's desire to rule." It's just that," said Lantern Xiao, standing up, "I don't know why it's not finished here!" ”
I nodded, and Lantern Xiao looked at me and smiled, "What are you kid selling?" What exactly are you trying to say? ”
I didn't answer Lantern Xiao's question, but asked him again, "Suppose you forgot what you saw before, then what would you think if the first thing you saw was the scene in front of us?" As I spoke, I pointed to the half-section of the roof in front of me that was buried in the earth.
Lantern Xiao was stunned by my question, frowned and thought for a while, then looked around, and suddenly looked up at me, "I understand what you mean, you mean, the scene in front of you is what this place originally looked like!" ”
"That's right!" I slapped my palm, "We were wrong from the beginning, in fact, all the buildings here were not built by the owner of the tomb at all, he just took advantage of this special place!" Because this place is simply an ancient city buried in the ground! ”
Lantern Xiao listened to my words and nodded again and again, "In this case, many things will make sense!" The owner of the tomb simply found the place and cleaned it up. And the dead people in it should not have been killed by the owner of the tomb, but the people who didn't have time to escape when the ancient city was buried! "We analyzed that the owner of the tomb should indeed have the idea of building a mausoleum here, and at the same time he should have other purposes, he was reinforcing this place with white plaster to prevent collapse, and at the same time cleaning up the ancient city, as if he was looking for something!
Lantern Xiao patted me, "Can you tell what dynasty this is the ancient city?" You don't study, what do you study, what architecture major in ancient times, I'll go, I can't remember the name of your major! ”
I glanced at Lantern Xiao and said slowly: "My major is ancient Chinese civil engineering technology!" ”
Lantern Xiao patted his head, "Ah, yes, yes! Then hurry up! Just in line with your professional counterpart! ”
I looked at the structure of this part of the roof, carefully recalled the system I had learned before, fortunately, my memory was okay, and the grinding gun before the exam also made part of the knowledge content in my mind.
I roughly calculated, and then said to Lantern Xiao: "This should be an ancient city during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties!" ”
Lantern Xiao also came over to look at the exposed part of the roof, "It's really fake, you won't be blinded by me." ”
I sighed and shook my head, "I really don't know how you, the little prince of the Inverted Dou Realm, have been mixed up all these years!" ”
"!" Lantern Xiao immediately protested, "The little prince of the inverted fight, it's the nickname you gave me!" ”
"Good!" I waved my hand, "Anyway, my buddy will give you a lesson today and help you with your literacy." As I spoke, I pointed to the exposed roof and said, "Look at this top, the slope is steep, the outer eaves are raised, and the ridge is richly carved. As I spoke, I pointed to the broken pedestals on them, "These should be Owl Tails, Birds, or Fire Patterns."
I pointed to the bottom of the eaves again, "You see this bucket arch, the use of herringbone arch, and the bucket arch outside the pick, these are the characteristics of the Wei and Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties architecture, basically all match, so I said that this is the ancient city of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it should not be wrong!" ”
Lantern Xiao nodded in admiration, "Amazing!" Terrible! I knew that I also studied your major back then, but I learned a computer major, and I couldn't use the fart when I was inverted, so I couldn't pour out a CPU in the ancient tomb! ”
I patted the dirt on my body and stood up, "Okay, now that we have a new understanding of this place, let's go around and maybe figure out what the tomb owner is looking for in this buried ancient city." ”
Lantern Xiao said as she walked: "Do you say this place is an ancient tomb?" In addition to the section of the tomb just now, there is a bit of a mausoleum, and the rest of the place is the excavation site. ”
I said, "According to the feng shui of the heavens and the earth, there is indeed an ancient tomb here, and there is also a burial ditch, which confirms this. It's just that I think the owner of the tomb here has adopted a relatively rare method. ”
"In what way?" Lantern Xiao asked.
I told him that I had heard my second uncle say that there are two ways to form ancient tombs, the first is artificial construction, which is the most common, and 99% of ancient tombs are like this. There is another kind, that is, with the help of natural or ready-made, those who dare to use this way of building mausoleums are all strange people, which are extremely rare. And the one in front of us is undoubtedly the second type, which makes me even more curious about who the owner of the tomb here is!
