Chapter 289: Luoyang shovels down the secret passage
The rocky slope clings to a bare cliff with visible signs of cracking.
"The obvious fracture was caused by a sudden external force, probably caused by explosives, and it has been a long time. After the bodyguard squatted down to check it, he said to everyone.
"Hehe, the use of explosives here, it should be right, even if it's not here, it has something to do with here. ”
"Okay, let's do it. ”
A few people nodded at the bodyguard, so the bodyguard could start to take out the parts from the large backpack behind them and assemble them one by one, and after a while, several metal detectors were assembled and appeared in front of everyone.
The bodyguards took things around here, holding metal detectors and looking for them inch by inch on the ground, as long as there is something underground, then, the metal detector will definitely react, because you must know that the metal detector can detect a depth of about ten meters.
It's just that after this lap, the detector didn't react.
"Could it be that we guessed wrong? How could there be no reaction? Isn't it here?" Zhu Mi muttered, a little disappointed.
"There is also a possibility that the thing is sold relatively deep, and there is no metal within 10 meters. Bai Feng said.
"Yes. Zhu Mi nodded, so he nodded at the bodyguards.
So, the bodyguards took some metal tubes out of their backpacks and began to assemble them. And the head is a small shovel in a semicircle.
Luoyang shovel!
Lin Yi recognized this thing instantly, this thing is very famous, and it has a great role in archaeology, of course, it's just that the damage caused by his confinement in ancient tombs and so on is even greater.
The Luoyang shovel was invented by Li Yazi, a villager near Luoyang, Henan. The Luoyang shovel was gradually improved for future generations. The earliest widespread use was naturally tomb robbing, but now it is an archaeological tool.
Traditionally, the Luoyang shovel mainly refers to a specific person who uses the Luoyang shovel in a certain way. These people are generally passed down from generation to generation, and in the past, there was a saying about the old Luoyang shovel in the mouth of professional tomb robbers, referring to these experienced users, but for some reasons, these old Luoyang shovels that have been passed down from generation to generation are almost extinct in modern times.
If a good Luoyang shovel is finished, and then installed with a tough wax rod and connected to a special rope, you can drive into the ground more than ten meters, or even dozens of meters deep, after the shovel is lifted, the inside of the shovel head will bring out a tube of soil.
In this way, the grave robbers continuously drill deep into the ground, and the tomb robbers analyze the soil structure, color, density, and various inclusions of the different soil layers extracted, and if it is cooked soil that has been touched by later generations, there may be tombs or ancient buildings underground. If ceramics, iron, copper, gold, and wood are found in the inclusions, the nature and layout of the underground collection can be inferred.
Experienced tomb robbers can judge the situation underground by the different sounds made by the Luoyang shovel hitting the ground and the feeling in their hands, such as the rammed walls and the hollow tomb and tomb passage.
Among the bodyguards brought over by Lin Yi's side, there was no tomb robbery at all, especially the two brought by Lin Yi, but there was a person in Zhu Mifang who was very familiar with this Luoyang shovel, assembled it quickly, and then began to make holes in the ground.
I saw him put his hand on the pipe, and the other person used a hammer to hammer the pipe, and kept driving the pipe into the ground.
This is to use your hands to sense vibrations and thus experience the situation underground.
This is a mountain forest, and there are a lot of stones, and from time to time, after hitting a distance, you can't move.
Feel it carefully with your hand for a while, and then watch the other person give up directly, saying that it is not what they are looking for.
Vibrations and sounds can be used to determine if there is a vacant place underground.
Tomb robbers!
Lin Yi got this explanation in his heart at a glance, but he also admired the other party in his heart.
Because the other party gave up correctly, the treasure place and passage were not in the place he was looking for.
I hit seven or eight holes in a row, but I didn't get anything.
And Lin Yi was very speechless.
Because, these people are looking in the wrong direction!
"How's it going?" Seeing that there were so many holes and no harvest yet, Zhu Mi hurriedly asked.
"The ground is full of stones, and there is no empty space. ”
"How so. ”
"Did we find the wrong one?"
Everyone complained.
Lin Yi: "......"
"I said, don't you think about it? Since it is on the edge of this small cliff, then this should be in this cliff, try it here!" Lin Yi looked at a few people who hated iron but not steel, and these people didn't even notice such an obvious thing.
"Ah, yes. ”
"Hurry up. Look for it in there. ”
"Haha, we didn't expect that. I thought about making a hole in the ground, and I read too many tomb robbery books, but I didn't react for a while. ”
"yes, sure enough, pulling you into the gang is the right thing to do. ”
I agree. Lin Yi does have a hand in treasure hunting. ”
Lin Yi: "......"
Lin Yi said, I don't want to talk to you, you are too weak.
Luoyang shovel began to fight against this small piece of cliff.
One!
Two!
Three!
"There is!" With a hammer down, Luoyang shovel fell directly, and if you listen carefully, the sound is completely different from the previous voice.
Lin Yi looked at it and nodded, the other end of this shovel broke through the soil layer and directly penetrated into a space.
"I really found it!"
Zhu Mi asked loudly.
"That's right, there's an empty space in here. I think this should be the place. ”
The bodyguard responded.
"Well, in that case, dig. ”
With an order, the bodyguards took out the sapper shovel and began to dig in the direction of the Luoyang shovel, digging out some large stones from time to time, and these stones were obviously broken by explosives.
The bodyguards were digging in full swing, and Lin Yi and the others did stand aside and scold Fang Xuan and point out the country, and the injustice of the world was vividly reflected.
The bodyguards' movements were very fast, and after a while, a large area had been cleared, and Lin Yi estimated that it would take about two or three hours before it could be dug through.
Three hours later, more than a dozen cubic meters of earth and stones were taken out of leave, and in the depths, a dark cave appeared, which was obviously dug through.
Needless to say, there are bodyguards with lights shining inside the cave. Check to see if it's safe inside.
After making sure it was safe, several people entered it one after another. After walking a few meters inside, an iron gate appeared in front of several people. The door was rusty, and it looked like it had been a long time. The gate is also very ordinary, not those delicate and thick gates, just ordinary iron doors from decades ago, and the locks on them are just ordinary door nose locks, the same as the locks on the doors of ordinary warehouses.
