During the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan nobles ruled the Jiangnan region, they knew that although the Southern Song Dynasty royal family had been destroyed, but the hearts of the people had never been broken, in order to completely let the people have no idea of restoring Han Zuo, the Yuan Dynasty nobles directly stole and dug up the tombs of all the Southern Song Dynasty nobles with the help of capable people, up to the emperor and queen mother, down to the princess

Meritorious generals, as long as they are buried in the imperial mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty, are basically thrown out of the body and let the wild beasts of the mountains and forests devour it, which is too cruel and makes the people indignant.

By the time of the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty knew that they had oppressed the Han people too deeply, so they developed a custom of secret burial in suspicious tombs.

Let's start with secret burials.

Secret burial is the meaning of secret burial, after the death of the nobles, unlike the Han nobles who do a lot of things, the scenery after death, all the pursuit of simplicity, neither ushered in the condolences and sacrifices, nor the silk and bamboo pipe banquet drinking feast, and even not much funeral procession, as for the burial of the body, it is all the pursuit of simplicity, the so-called coffin is just a piece of wood that has been hollowed out.

When to be buried, a layer of horse skin is wrapped around the corpse, and then the wood is sent together with the corpse, and the wood is completely bound into a complete piece of wood, and sent into the burial chamber at a depth of 100 meters underground.

After the body is buried, the excavated soil will be completely backfilled into the burial chamber, directly restored to the unexcavated wilderness state, and then thousands of horses will be trampled on the burial area at the same time to completely flatten the loose structure of the soil, and then use the tools of cultivation to dig up the top soil, plant grass and trees, and restore it to a state of vegetation cover.

After these procedures, it has become completely integrated with the surrounding environment, and there is no difference, unless someone sees the nobles buried here, it is impossible to recognize that this is the place where the mausoleum is buried, so as to meet the characteristics of secret burial.

In order to facilitate the worship of the family, they often kill a small camel in front of the female camel, the camel is the best blood relative, and when the tomb is really to sweep the tomb, you can let the female camel walk in front, so that he can use the blood of the baby camel as an introduction to find the tomb of the noble, so as to determine the approximate location of the mausoleum, to worship.

In addition to secret burials, they will also let their descendants build a lot of suspicious tombs full of organs and poisons, these suspicious tombs are built in full accordance with funeral customs, and even people go to worship every year, and they can't see that they are fake tombs at all.

With such a system of secret burials in doubtful tombs, their bodies after death are completely protected!

It is precisely because of this system that many Tufuzi are very reluctant to look for the tombs of the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty, and if they find their real secret tombs, it often means that there are no gold, silver, jewelry, or tomb goods, and even the coffin is likely to be a piece of rotten wood.

A group of people dug down for nearly 200 meters, and they dug up a rotten wood and a highly decomposed corpse, which was a waste of effort and a bit too unlucky.

If it is even more unfortunate, it is the suspicious tomb of the nobles that is dug up, and the very vicious mechanism in it is enough to kill all the Tufuzi, and they may not even be able to save their lives.

In this world, there is only one of their real secret tombs, but there are dozens or even hundreds of doubtful tombs, these Yuan Dynasty nobles have expected that someone can dig up their doubtful tombs, which proves that they have to do something to their secret tombs, it is better to use the doubtful tombs to kill them first, so as not to damage the secret tombs.

It is rumored that Cao Cao made a lot of enemies, and in order to prevent his tomb from being stolen by anyone after his death, he adopted the secret burial system, outside his own secret tomb. Seventy-two fake mausoleums were also built to confuse outsiders.

When Sun Daqiao said this, he knocked on his crutches: "The old decay means that both the Xiongnu and the Turkic people are steppe peoples, and these peoples have been in a state of conquest and killing each other for a long time, and they have a lot of enemies, of course, they are afraid of being sought revenge after death. ”

"I mean the mausoleum of Jieli Khan, it may be this form of secret burial of the doubtful mausoleum, we really found his tomb, there may not be his body in it, it may be the suspicious tomb of various precision organs, then we people will lose more than we gain, the key to the problem is not whether there is a tomb on the snow mountain, but where is the real tomb on the snow mountain?"

Sun Daqiao said: "Whether it is a hanging pile burial or a secret burial of doubtful tombs, there is a characteristic, that is, it is necessary to kill the baby camel in front of the old camel, and mark the mausoleum with the characteristics of the old camel attaching importance to blood relatives, and wait for the second year of worship, so as to find the exact location of the tomb in the ordinary environment." ”

"I'm thinking." Sun Daqiao's face became mysterious: "Maybe we can think differently, Jieli Khan is a Turkic, and his tomb is most likely a suspicious tomb." ”

"No matter where he is buried, he will definitely make some markings, because some of his family members are staying on the North Sea, and they must find the location when they want to worship, and there is a high probability that they will leave camel blood to mark the smell, and then let the old camel find the smell, and find where the real tomb is, perhaps, finding the smell of the camel is the key."

They didn't know anything about the situation except that they knew about the tomb of Jieli Khan, which was within the range of the straight line drawn by John Hua, and although Sun Daqiao's words were just speculations and had some flavor of folk legends, they were very inspired.

Jieli Khan, as the Khan of the steppe people, was buried on the shore of Lake Baikal, and the funeral customs must be closer to the steppe customs, so the thing that cannot be avoided is the secret burial of the suspected tomb or the hanging pile hidden, no matter which case it is necessary to use the animal habits of camels to attach importance to blood and be good at finding relatives, to mark the surface of the mausoleum, and they are completely right to work hard in this direction.

Subsequently, they talked to John Hua a little bit about Sun Daqiao's guess, and they also felt that they could try it in Sun Daqiao's way, and several people made up their minds, so they turned their eyes to Keli's camel, went out of the inn, and came to the tent where Keli lived.

After Yue Guanchao and they said what they meant, Keli nodded at them, the female camel is born with a strong memory, and indeed has an excellent sense of smell, and can find the baby camel through the sense of smell, if the baby camel is killed in some places, the mother camel can indeed find the body of the baby camel by smell, even if there is only a drop of blood, they can be found completely. ”

There is also an ancient legend about this maternal love of the female camel in the desert.

Legend has it that treasure thieves in the desert tend to lurk in desert towns, and when they see some wealthy merchants, they will take advantage of the night to steal their treasures, but because the desert towns are small and the number of people is small, their behavior is of course noticed everywhere.

If anyone finds out that they have stolen treasure, it is possible to report them to the government, and then they will not only not get the treasure, but will face jail time, and again, the treasure they have stolen cannot be kept on their bodies at any time, and if the quantity is huge, it cannot be placed in some inn, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Their practice is often to bury their treasures in the desert, and it is an uninhabited desert, and only in this way can the treasure be hidden from the public.

The uninhabited desert is indeed more suitable for hiding things, but there is a disadvantage, that is, there are no landmarks at all, once the treasure is buried in it, if you forget the location where the treasure is buried, you will completely miss the treasure, and the desert environment is very similar, it is easier to confuse the location of the buried treasure.

To solve this problem, they took advantage of the natural motherhood of the female camel!

When the treasure has accumulated to a certain extent, they will take the treasure to the uninhabited desert, dig a sand pit nearby, bury all the treasure in the sand, and then fill the sand to restore its original state, and then they will take the mother camel, kill a small camel in the place where the treasure is buried, let the blood of the baby camel be sprinkled as much as possible on the surface of the sand where the treasure is buried, and then lead the mother camel away.

When the situation calms down and they need to find the treasure, they can bring the she-camel, who has a natural sense of smell and can easily smell the blood of the baby camel, and of course find the burial place of the treasure.

"These treasure thieves rely on the parent-child nature of the mother and daughter camels, and they have not missed a single time."

Speaking of this, Keli's eyes became puzzled: "This characteristic is limited to the son and mother camels who are related by blood, even if the family of Jieli Khan really killed a baby camel in front of his tomb, two thousand years have passed, the blood has already been cleaned, even if it is not dispersed, where to find the mother camel?" Can a camel live to be hundreds or thousands of years old? ”

Keli's words are indeed realistic, after all, two thousand years have passed, and they don't know whether the blood of the baby camel has been dispersed, let alone find the mother camel, even if it can really be realized, it is indeed not easy to operate.

Yue Guanchao pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Then can the camel smell the blood of the same kind?" ”

"That's okay."

Ke Li Chao and they nodded: "Camels are desert animals, with extreme endurance, they are also the guides of the desert, some people get lost in the desert, follow the camels can always find the water source, these camels can find the water source, rely on the strong sense of smell, relying on these smells they can be more than ten miles or even dozens of miles away, smell the smell of water, the breath of plants, can follow the instinct to find water sources and plants, since the sense of smell is so sensitive, of course, they can also smell the smell of blood." ”
