According to the notes recorded by Che Baohua, there were a total of 7 people who participated in searching for tombs in Mangshan. They verified and excluded more than 70 tombs from the Qing Dynasty. This helped us clear up a lot of minefields.
Experts are often hidden among the people. Among these seven people, there is a tomb robber named Zhou who is good at exploring stone tombs and is nicknamed "Dulong Detective".
This person has a unique skill. An ordinary tomb robber needs two things to explore the pit, a Luoyang shovel and a probe.
But this man did not use these two methods. He had a secret method inherited from his family to explore tombs, especially stone tombs. According to legend, the Luoyang archaeological team approached him and wanted him to help detect the Qianling Tomb, which was also a stone tomb.
When the man refused, the archaeological team wanted to learn his family's secret method, but was rejected.
Because he cannot see with one eye, he is nicknamed Dulong Tanyingshou.
It is said that this unique skill is passed down orally, and the descendants of Dulong Tanyin have inherited his unique skill. I also want to learn and understand it, but I have no channels.
There is a very interesting thing. In 1958, the Ding family’s ancestral grave was destroyed and could not be found. It was very similar to the experience of the Kimchi Mei family.
The Ding family is the family of Ding Baozhen in the Qing Dynasty. This person is also called Ding Bao. He is the inventor of the current Sichuan cuisine Kung Pao Chicken. They have been looking for their ancestral graves until 2018, when they were finally found by the sixth generation Sun Dingjun, who helped them find it.
, is actually the descendant of "Dulong Tanyinshou".
According to the book, there is an area called "Little Stone Valley" in the middle of Mang Mountain. There is little soil in that area and it is almost entirely made of stones. At that time, Che Baohua and his group believed that the ancestral tomb of the Qin family might be located in Little Stone Valley.
In the ditch.
I checked the location of this place and it happened to be within the area we drew on the map two days ago.
Heishitougou has a great chance. This is the effort of two generations. If we can't find it, the big girl in charge will probably shed tears.
He was actually under a lot of pressure to brag in front of a big girl. Perhaps, he also wanted to hear the old lady call him "Oh!"
Found it, pretended to be successful, and gained people and wealth.
If you can't find it, you will fail to pretend, and you will lose both your life and money.
...
On this day, the five of us carried our bags and secretly went up to Mang Mountain while avoiding other people along the way.
When we arrived at Xiaoshitougou at noon, Douzizi wiped his sweat and said, "Hang on, it's too hot here. I feel like these stones are so hot that they could lay eggs on them." Douzizai stretched out his hand to touch it and quickly retracted his hand.
"Everyone, please work hard. We collect money from people to help them eliminate disasters. If we don't do it now, we won't be able to do it in the rainy season in two days."
"Old rules, Xiaoxuan will be around for a while, and the others will put out probes to look for the tomb. Let's get started."
Xiaoxuan wore long trousers and long sleeves, and wore a hat, sleeves, and gauze. She covered herself tightly. From the outside, only her eyes could be seen.
I asked: "Xiaoxuan, are you hot?"
She said: "I'm hot, but I'm more afraid of getting tanned. I want to cover my skin until it's as white as a little bitch."
This was an unpleasant thing to say, and I later realized that she was talking about Kimchi Girl.
In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there were three types of tombs: brick chamber tombs, brick-and-stone tombs, and stone slab tombs. The tomb shapes were rectangular and trapezoidal. If there is a tomb in this place, it is most likely a stone slab tomb.
When making a stone slab tomb, you must first dig downward with a hammer and chisel to hollow out the inside of the stone into a rectangular or trapezoidal shape. After the tomb owner is buried, the tomb is covered with a stone slab, and layers of large stones are piled on top of the stone slab until it is completely buried.
Stone slab tombs have poor sealing, but are very stable and durable. They are strong and can survive earthquakes and will not collapse. This type of tomb is common in Zhejiang, but rare in the north.
Thinking of Kimchi Girl Gaozu, he was originally an Huizhou merchant from the south, so it makes sense to use this kind of stone slab tomb.
Xiaoshitougou is full of stones, and this kind of tombs were also camouflaged at that time, mixed in the environment, and it was difficult to tell where there were ancient tombs.
We don't know the unique skill of "single dragon probing the underworld", so we can only use the old method to get a probe.
Brother Yu stood on a large raised rock, waved to me and said, "Yunfeng, this place is very suspicious."
I said let’s explore it, and after saying that, I helped support it with my hands.
Brother Yu didn't say anything, he just picked up the hammer and smashed it.
Compared with shoveling down to Luoyang, driving a probe is more strenuous. If the probe reaches three or four meters underground and suddenly "pops" through without being hindered, it means there is space underground and there is an ancient tomb.
After knocking for a long time, when the probe was all the way down, Brother Yu shook his head in disappointment and said, "I guessed wrong, there is no tomb underneath, let's find another place."
The area here is very large, and we visited seven exploration points. From noon to 3:30, the heat was unbearable. The stones were so hot that they burned me to death, and I was sweating profusely from the sun.
At this time, Xiaoxuan suddenly put down the telescope and said loudly: "There is someone! Two people are coming!"
"who!"
Xiaoxuan stood on the stone, picked up the telescope and looked at it. After more than ten seconds, she turned back and said, "Don't panic, it's a little bitch."
It was the old lady and the pickled girl who came over to see our progress and brought water by the way.
I said to Xiaoxuan: "Wait a minute, when someone comes over, don't call her girl that. It's a curse word and it's not nice to hear."
Xiaoxuan immediately said angrily: "I won't! I will scream! When she comes, I will scream! Little bitch! Little bitch! Little bitch!"
