I stood under one of the stone towers, looked up, and couldn't help but sigh.
These stone towers, which are tens of meters high, are all made of large stones and thin stone flakes. Each stone is of the right size and shape, so that its surface is extremely smooth. For 700 years, it is still standing here motionless. It's like the pyramids abroad. I don't know who supervised the construction. They can be called miracles of ancient architecture.
Why do I say like a turret?
Because there is no door at the bottom of the stone tower, the nearest small door is opened ten meters above the ground.
Looking up, there are two small doors opened about every ten meters, which are a bit like the watchtowers used to fight Japanese invaders in TV series. The Eighth Route Army set up machine guns around the small doors and fired indiscriminately.
The head guessed: "This kind of building should be a defense project built by the party members back then. It was built by Li Xian to prevent the Mongols from coming."
Xiaoxuan asked: "How do we get up there? The first wicket is so high that there's not even a place to grab a hand."
This is indeed a difficult problem. It is difficult to get up. There should have been a long ladder standing upright on the turret back then, but now there is no ladder.
"Brother Yu, can you climb up?" I said.
"It's probably quite overwhelming."
Brother Yu looked at it and said: "I have enough strength, but I am heavy. It would be great if Ah Chun was here. She would be able to get up easily. I'll give it a try. I don't know if it will work."
After saying that, Brother Yu took a dozen steps back and started running to speed up.
Push one foot on the wall and jump high!
Brother Yu instantly grabbed a protruding stone on the surface of the stone tower, then let out a loud roar and used his arms again.
"Plop."
He fell.
"Brother Yu!
"Brother Yu, how are you?"
I quickly ran over to take a look.
"It's okay!"
Brother Yu grinned in pain and took a breath. It looked like he had fallen badly.
After Brother Yu got up, he tried using a rope dart again, but it didn't work. The rocks were too hard and the rope dart couldn't hit them and they would be bounced away.
They couldn't even get through the first small door of the stone building, and everyone was in trouble.
I turned around to look at my surroundings, and then I had an idea and thought of a way.
It took some time to chop down a tree, and a few of us men carried the tree over and stood it next to the stone tower as a ladder. Although it was still difficult to climb up, we had a place to hold the hand.
I volunteered and said I would come first.
My tree climbing skills are pretty good. It took me more than ten minutes to climb along the trunk of the tree to the top. Xiaoxuan yelled from below to remind me: "Be careful."
I grabbed the edge of the small door and used my hands and feet to turn over.
The wooden door was unlocked and the joints were badly rotted. It opened with a hard push.
When I came in, I found that the place was not big, with less than ten square meters of space, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground.
There was a table made of bluestone slabs, with two rusty iron kettles upside down on the stone table. In addition, on the ground near the corner, a wooden bow with a broken string was seen.
I picked it up and took a closer look, and felt that it should be the Xixia iron-arm bow. The material itself is a kind of ironwood produced in the northwest. It is powerful and has a long range. At the same time, the Song Dynasty once exchanged two horses for a Xixia bow. Records of bows.
After searching around, I found another iron oil lamp that had fallen in the corner. Apart from these, I didn't see anything else.
Brother Yu and Bean Sprout couldn't help their curiosity and climbed up one after another.
I got out and looked up.
"It's strange... there are no stairs inside this thing. How did people in the past get to the upper floors?"
It's like a single small room with no stairs leading to the upper floor.
The head answered my doubts.
Fifty meters north of the gun tower, there is a rotten square wooden frame. The boss said that this wooden frame should have been used to transport people up and down. Once there were pursuers, just cut the rope and hide on the upper floor of the gun tower.
Party soldiers will be invincible.
It can be seen from this that the Dangxiang people were still in fear after they fled here, fearing that the Mongols would chase them and kill them all.
If you can't go up, you can't go up hard. If you fall, you will fall to death. There is no other way but to go down temporarily. We are here to find valuable cultural relics, not to play.
I can guarantee that there must be an ancient tomb in this place, and it is very possible to find a group of ancient tombs.
If that happens, then this place will be paradise for us. There will be no police, no outsiders, no one can see, and we can dig as much as we want.
Xixia was founded by nomadic people. It is quite special. Either the burial objects are rich, or there is not even a hair on it.
Not many people in the industry have the opportunity to get started with the Xixia Tomb. There are two reasons. First, the Xixia Tomb is the same as the later Yuan Dynasty Tomb.
Sex, mainly concentrated in Ningxia, northwest China.
Since there is no representation on the surface and the sealing mound cannot be seen, how can we find it?
We listen to the boss's arrangements. What does it mean to be professional?
He drew a picture on the ground with a branch, which divided this large area into four areas, from area m1 to area m4.
m means "tomb".
He pointed his head at the M1 area with a branch and said in a deep voice: "The four of you take four shovels, start from the four corners of the east, west, north and south, and count. Every twenty steps, dig a hole downwards.
The pits should be drilled to a depth of five meters uniformly, and then gradually move closer to the middle. When you meet each other, it means that the exploration of this place is complete, so that no ancient tomb will be exposed."
