Chapter 116: A bluestone brick
readx;? In ancient times, funerals were a very important event, especially for people with status and status. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info Chinese believed that it was safe to enter the earth, and at the same time, the wealthy believed that there should be a funeral object that represented their identity in the underworld. It is precisely because of this concept that a special profession was born - tomb robbing!
Tomb robbers are also known as thieves, thieves who steal the dead. At the same time, there are many different names for tomb robbers, and insiders prefer to call themselves 'inverted buckets', because most of the tombs in China resemble a rice bucket placed upside down, and taking out the artifact inside is like pouring out the contents of the rice bucket.
The one around me is an expert in 'inverted buckets', and like other professions in China, even 'inverted buckets' have many different sects. Generally, there are four kinds of records: hair hills, touching gold, moving mountains, and unloading mountains. But this expert of ours has nothing to do with these four factions, and it is said that he worships Kuru Sun......
Kuliusun, his name may not be familiar to everyone, but he has an apprentice named Tuxing Sun, who was named Tufu Xingjun in the list of gods. Tuxingsun is extremely good at the art of earth escape, and is envied by all tomb robbers......
Our expert's real name is Sun Cheng, his nickname is 'Tuxing Sun', and the inverted faction he belongs to is called Tuxing. Because of the superb craftsmanship and the good business performance, it was 'co-opted' by the execution office... In fact, I was caught, and then I felt that it had a certain effect and stayed.
'Tuxingsun' has no other skills, one is good eyesight, and the other is good at digging holes. Because he is familiar with all kinds of cultural relics, this time he is also in our compilation.
"Grave bricks?" I muttered, the altar is sometimes built with strange things, but this is the first time I've heard of grave bricks.
"Are you sure it's a grave brick?" I asked.
"That's not it, I dug away for so many years and left, can I still admit my mistakes?" Tu Xingsun affirmed: "It would be nice if there was a line, I could see if it would be a bucket below." ”
The line that Tuxingsun said should be the Luoyang shovel, and the person who inverted the bucket can judge whether there is a tomb under the soil according to the underground soil layer.
"Alright, you go ahead and look around, and tell me what you find. ”
"Okay. ”
What kind of altar should be built with grave bricks? What is its real purpose? And why build such a strange altar in this place? I thought to myself.
If you want to say that this is a tomb, it's impossible, who would build an altar on their own tomb? Isn't it really to put themselves in it? You say that there are evil spirits down there? It's also unreasonable, I haven't heard that the tomb bricks can also suppress evil spirits, but it's true that the tomb bricks can attract ghosts...
Wait, since it's not a town, is it possible to raise it? Could it be that there is something under this altar? I suddenly realized something, made an excuse, and said to Lin Zhao to go to the toilet and left the crowd in a hurry.
Avoiding the crowd is because my next movements are not like being seen, stepping on the wind, I have a few ups and downs on the branches of several big trees, and I stand directly on the canopy, but I still feel that my vision is not open enough, I look left and right, and find a commanding height.
Although I haven't started surveying yet, I still have some exposure to Feng Shui.
Sure enough, the feng shui here is very weird, first of all, the place where the altar is located is the only flat place in a radius of ten miles, and compared with the environment next to it, the position of the altar is slightly sinking, and there are mountains around it to wrap it in it. Once night falls, the altar is the only place nearby where it can be illuminated by the moonlight.
But strangely enough, the place where the altar is located is also in the direction of the rising sun. In Feng Shui, there is a saying that sits in the north and faces south, because the north is yin, the south is yang, the north of the mountain and the south of the water are yin, and the north of the mountain and the north of the water is yang.
This is strange, it means that this altar is not a 'corpse breeding ground', but if my guess is true, then what exactly is under this altar?
I knew that I had put a little more effort into Feng Shui at the beginning, and I hated less when I used this book.
Coming down from the canopy, I immediately returned to the altar and quietly exchanged my speculations with Lin Zhao, while on the other side, the archaeological team was ready to start excavating the altar.
"What now? They've decided to excavate. ”
"It's better not to let them dig. I said.
But Lin Zhao speaks better than me, after all, he has a gun on him, doesn't he? I followed behind Lin Zhao and went to stop the archaeological team together.
"Professor Wu. Wu Zhixiang had already dug out a bluestone brick from the ground and studied it carefully in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Wu Zhi didn't raise his head, and looked at the bluestone bricks as if he was fascinated.
"What results do you have now?" Lin Zhao asked.
"Now it is certain that this brick was used to build a tomb in the past, which means that it is very likely that this is a tomb from the Song Dynasty, but according to the specifications and style of this tomb, it will not be the tomb of a person of great status, so we are ready to start digging immediately. ”
If it is confirmed that this is the tomb of a king, a prince, or a big man, then it must be approved before the excavation can begin, but Professor Wu and their previous application approval had already agreed to Professor Wu's request that they could dig a small tomb by themselves.
"Well, Professor Wu, I don't think you can dig this place up. "I hurriedly said, there is nothing in the town, and it is still dug up, if a zongzi jumps out, who will be responsible? Also, what if I bite a few more to death? If nothing else, it is a trouble to pull out the body of the person who was bitten to death......
I have been in contact with more things in the underworld, and now I have begun to gradually become indifferent to life, which does not mean that I have already taken care of human life.
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhixiang suddenly looked up at me, as if he wanted to pierce me with his eyes.
"That's... I mean... disturbed the peaceful sleep of the seniors... "I've made up an excuse by the way.
"What's not good? What do you think is good? Is it good to bury that precious knowledge under the soil?" Wu Zhixiang looked at me seriously: "What is your task? I have every reason to doubt you now. ”
Well, he's more reasonable than me, and he deserves to be a professor...
Lin Zhao and I glanced at each other.
"From now on we can't leave here. I instructed Lin Zhaodao: "You also know that this time the matter may be in trouble." ”
If this group of archaeologists is not here, we can do whatever we want, and we have no worries at all, but if they are here, we will not be able to use our skills.
As the archaeological team became more and more prepared for the excavation, the sun slowly sank together, and the archaeological team was ready to return to the camp.
"Lao Lin, set up a few secret posts here, and let them send signal flares in case of any situation. "I instructed Lin Zhao.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged it, and your subordinates will send someone out here too. ”
"Good. ”
There are 2 people left near the altar as secret whistles, and they are equipped with signal flares, in case of any situation, just pull the signal flares.
The people of the archaeological team guarded us like thieves, lest we destroy their research results, so I deliberately broke away from the team, and when they returned to the camp, I quietly returned to the altar.
After saying hello to the dark whistle set up earlier, I returned to the altar alone.
The archaeological team is ready to lift all the bluestone bricks, and then excavate the last high platform, it can be seen that there are more novices in this archaeological team, and it is no wonder that this altar with little archaeological value will be chosen for excavation.
I picked up a bluestone brick that was opened by the archaeological team, it looked like an ordinary bluestone brick on the surface, but with a few more patterns, of course, if I could see what this pattern represented, then the archaeologist would be worthless.
Tuxingsun told me that the traditional process of making green bricks is to close the whole kiln at the end of the high-temperature firing stage, so that the oxygen supply in the kiln is insufficient, and the iron ions in the brick are reduced from red trivalent iron to cyan low-valent iron to form green bricks. Green bricks have very strong performance in anti-oxidation, hydration, atmospheric erosion, etc. The ancient "Qin bricks and Han tiles" can still be well preserved after thousands of years. Therefore, this kind of green brick is extremely suitable as a building material for tombs. Moreover, the style of this brick is different from the brick used to build a house, especially the pattern of the whole body, if the brick of the house has a pattern, isn't it leaking?
Tuxingsun is an expert in 'inverted buckets', and his words should still be quite credible.
I looked at the bricks several times on my body, but I didn't find any clues in them. With a pinch of the spell, I directly opened the spiritual eye.
When the archaeological team was still there, I didn't dare to take the spirit eye to see the bluestone bricks, for fear that something would happen, but now it's different, they are gone, and I finally feel at ease to use the magic technique.
The magic is practiced, so my spiritual eyes can already start to see through, but only on some relatively thin objects, like a brick or something, if it is separated by a mountain, then I will have no way.
Of course, don't doubt my character, I won't use perspective to look at my sister's paper, that's too obscene......
The pattern of the bluestone bricks became clearer under the spiritual eye, and I also found that under the pattern were something similar to a channel, which meandered along the pattern on the surface.
What is this? Like a passage through which something passes, is it meant to be infused with mana?
The mana in my hand surged, and the mana was injected along the bluestone bricks, and as soon as the mana entered the bluestone bricks, it was as if it was pulled by something, and it began to flow along the patterns in the bluestone bricks. Sure enough, there is something strange!
The mana solidified after being filled with bluestone bricks, as if preparing something?
"What are you doing?" suddenly came a crisp female voice behind him.
As soon as I panicked, the bluestone bricks in my hand were thrown out by me and landed right around the stone platform. (Because I still have mana in my hand, I flew out directly.) )
"Boom!" After the bluestone brick hit the ground, there was a loud bang, and it exploded like a grenade! A shock wave rushed out from the center of the high platform.
By the time the smoke cleared, the platform, which had only collapsed one corner, was gone......
It's over......
(To be honest, I don't know much about archaeology, so there must be some discrepancies between the description in the book and reality, if you find it, please let me know and I will correct it at any time, thank you!)
