Is there a baby hidden in the stone statue’s belly?
"its not right."
"Why is there something wrong with the sound? This is clearly carved out of a single piece of stone. How did that thing get hidden in? It's really weird."
I looked carefully from front to back, left and right, and when I knelt down and looked up, I finally discovered something fishy.
I saw that there was a hole in a very secret place under the buttocks of the stone statue. It might have been plugged with wood before, but it took too long and the original wood became weathered and rotten. .??.
The hole is not big, about three fingers wide and about the size of an egg.
I put my fingers in and clicked twice, and suddenly I felt something cold and hard.
I adjusted the angle back and forth several times before taking the thing out.
This is a bronze square box, with the upper and lower lids perfectly fitted together, and a large number of lotus patterns engraved on the surface. Due to the high tin content, the overall color is whitish, and a thin layer of green rust has grown on the surface.
I opened it carefully and saw a square cinnabar wooden plaque.
After thousands of years, the remaining cinnabar on the wooden sign is still as red as chicken blood, and the two rows of knife-engraved characters are clearly visible.
I frowned and tried to read silently twice, but found that I couldn't read it smoothly.
"There are Bi characters, Qian characters, various traditional Chinese characters for weighting numbers, etc."
After watching it for a while, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind.
No wonder it can't be read smoothly! It turns out that this is a letter from the King of Hell engraved on a wooden plaque! There is a saying in this book that it is for "ghosts" to read, and it cannot be read by living people, so the writing order is all messed up.
I did some research and found that the correct pronunciation of these lines should be like this.
"I spent enough money, ninety-six thousand eight hundred and fifty-one, to buy an entire hectare of Yongye field from farmer Hu Wang, and used it to collect the bones of the three thousand three hundred and three hundred people killed in the border battle. On the 65th day of Xianqing's reign,
After four years of building the tomb and building the tomb, I specially left this record to inform the King of Hell that it is over."
"Bizu" used to mean completion.
A lot of useful information has been revealed right now.
First of all, the age of this tomb is the Xianqing period of the late Tang Dynasty, to be precise, 654 AD, which is almost the same as what I had inferred before.
Not only that ancient tomb, there are definitely undiscovered tombs in the Yinchuan Nuanquan area, and they are quite large. Burial group.
From a geographical point of view, that area was not far from the living area of Xianbei and Turks. There should have been a war between the two sides, and thousands of people died. Afterwards, a certain official took some money from a local farmer named Hu Wang.
Li bought this land and used it to build tombs and collect the bones of the war dead.
This centralized burial method is like the "Leoze Garden" in the Song Dynasty. The difference is that the people buried in the "Leoze Garden" are all ordinary people, while the people buried in this centralized burial are all soldiers, so it will definitely produce weapons.
Armor, bows, tokens, that kind of stuff.
Taking the tomb dug by Ye Luzi's foursome as the basic center point and radiating to the surroundings, how big was the area of this tomb group back then?
Because it was clearly stated in the document that a hectare of land had been purchased, I dipped my hands in spit and wrote and drew on the ground, and I quickly figured it out.
We use hectares in modern times, and one hectare is approximately equal to 100 acres, or 10,000 square meters.
The "hectare" used in ancient times is equal to approximately 50 acres, which is 60 square feet. When converted into meters, it is more than 680 meters.
In other words, the area of the ancient tombs in the Nuanquan area is about 700 meters, which is not a small area.
The next morning I carried my bag and came to the crime scene in Nuanquan again.
Thinking of the thrilling scene last night, I couldn't help but sigh that Li Fei was really cruel. He killed those people just like killing a few pigs. Even if I was given a gun at that time, I couldn't do what he did. I still can't
Killed someone.
Xia Feng came out and looked at the endless desolate scene around me. I walked to the Robber's Cave.
The location here is remote, there are very few people and cars passing by, and you will reach the desert just a few dozen miles to the north.
Seeing the people around me, I quickly picked up the Luoyang shovel and started exploring the surrounding pits with the Robbery Cave as the center.
I don’t have to go down to see the tomb that Yeluzi’s quartet went to. I know that it must be clean inside. They took everything. Their Luoyang shovel is far better than the others in terms of feel, weight, and sharpness.
Get my Luoyang shovel, I can make do with it anyway.
I dug nine exploration pits up to eight meters deep in the surrounding area in one breath. Starting from the seventh exploration pit, something started to appear.
The yellow mud brought up from the underground was surprisingly mixed with some red pottery fragments. There are only two possibilities for seeing these red pottery fragments, either there is a cultural layer underground, or there are ancient tombs from the Tang and Song Dynasties.
In the past, some people went to the countryside to collect these red pottery fragments and were paid fifty yuan per pound. The collectors were actually tomb robbers dressed up in Qiaozhuang. Some villagers would go to the mountains to look for this kind of pottery fragments in order to sell them for money.
After the tomb robbers collect it, they will ask them, "Fellow, where did you pick this up?"
The villagers asked me where I had picked it up. At night, the tomb robbers used Luoyang shovels to dig holes in that place. They used this method to dig many ancient tombs and made a lot of money.
I placed a stone where I found the red pottery fragments, which was like marking it. Then I asked Li Fei to come out for dinner at noon, and Li Ping also came to eat.
Before the food was served, Li Ping raised her glass and said, "Come! Let's drink for a better life in the future!"
I smiled and said, stop drinking. You were drunk after just two beers last night. ??
Li Ping stuck out her tongue, "You look down on my drinking ability, right? I didn't perform well that day! If I performed well, none of you would be my opponent!"
Li Fei looked at Li Ping with doting eyes.
Back then, Li Fei opened kts, Internet cafes, and billiard halls in places like Yinchuan, Yulin, Zhongwei, and Ankang. At his peak, even Jin Fenghuang didn't dare to offend him easily. I guess no one dared to bully his sister at that time.
During the meal, Li Ping drank her drink through a straw. She lightly nudged me with her foot under the table, and I also lightly kicked him.
"Sister, I have run out of cigarettes, go and buy a pack of cigarettes for me," Li Fei said.
Putting Li Ping away, Li Fei and I drank the wine in one gulp.
"Brother Fei, have you settled that matter?"
"Well, don't worry. I have experience in doing this kind of work. Even the gods can't find a trace of this kind of foreigner who cremates the ashes and scatters them in the river. Yesterday, I didn't have time to ask why these people wanted to kill you.
?”
I said, "It's about interpersonal relationships in our industry." The problem is more troublesome to explain. I took a closer look at yesterday’s batch of items and found that they can’t be sold for hundreds of thousands. Only the complete big pottery horse can be sold for some money. I estimate that there are people who want it for around 100,000.”
Li Fei smiled and said, "The money I picked up for free is more than a hundred thousand, which is quite a lot. Now I only earn ten thousand by spending a year on seafood."
I nodded and asked, "Brother Fei, do you want to stand up? Do you dare to do it?"
"Haha, what do I dare to say? I'm carrying more than a dozen lives."
I went over and sat on Li Ping's seat and whispered, "There are at least four ancient tombs from the Tang Dynasty in Nuanquan Wasteland. The area is not small. I can't do it alone. The two of us can work together. As long as something comes out, I
We can turn things into cash in the shortest possible time, and we’ll split the money 50-50 afterwards.”
"real?"
"One hundred percent, absolutely true!"
Li Fei lit a cigarette and asked, "How many people do you want? When do you plan to do it?"
"I need at least three people, and these three people must be trustworthy! If we are all here, we can do it tonight! I have stepped on it in the morning, just go and dig it!"
"No problem, I'll find a reliable person. Do you need any tools?"
I quickly said, "Most of them are ready-made, so we can just use them. But to be on the safe side, it's better to buy two headlamps and get two walkie-talkies with good signals to communicate with each other."
"What are you two talking about?"
Behind us, Li Ping suddenly came over with a sneaky look. She was holding a cigarette in her hand. We didn't even see when she came back from buying cigarettes.
"Nothing." I said.
"Liar, I heard you say you need to find a few people to do the work? Do you think I can do it?"
I shook my head, "Don't meddle in the affairs between men. It's fine as long as you run your little rubbish business."
"You keep talking about me! If you keep asking me whether you believe it or not, I will ask my brother to take care of you!"
"Brother! Look at Xiang Yunfeng bullying me!"
Li Fei said nothing.
He leaned back on the chair, raised his head and slowly blew out a puff of smoke toward the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
