"Fengzi, how do you use this? Doesn't it light up?"
In the middle of the night, Dou Sprout was squatting on the ground, tinkering with the generator I had just brought back.
The big guy might be in the tomb, and I can't sleep, so I'm thinking of working overtime. After all, I've just explored an area now.
"Qikai, you don't understand anything, what are you messing around with?"
I walked over quickly, opened the generator distribution box, turned the button to the left two and a half times, and said, "Pull it down and try."
Dou Sprout pulled the rope sharply upward, and suddenly there was a clicking sound, and at the same time, the light bulb on the distribution box also lit up.
After moving the fuel tank and generator to the entrance of the cave, I put on a headlamp and went straight down to the cave.
The line has been drawn where the feet stand, so draw it downward from here.
I gestured with the electric hammer twice, and after the line was aligned, I rushed up and shouted: "Okay! Plug in the power!"
As soon as the power was plugged in and I pressed the switch, there was a "sizzling sound...!"
People who don't use electric hammers tend to go astray. It took me a few minutes to get used to it. As soon as I started hammering, dust suddenly started to rise in the cave, and the cement blocks under my feet were constantly being broken and collapsed.
After the cement in the past solidified, it was not as hard as today's cement. It was visible to the naked eye, and it was beaten very fast. The bean sprouts looked at it and shouted: "Awesome!"
The robbery hole we dug was originally right above the main tomb chamber, and I dug a rectangular shape because the cement would not collapse. I wanted to drill it all the way to the bottom in one go. If I was lucky, I could hit the coffin lid directly. Even if
If you are unlucky and don't hit the coffin, you can also widen it left and right.
The effect is like a mouse making a nest underground and always hitting the coffin.
After fighting for an hour, it was more than half a meter down. I asked Dou Sprout to pull up the cement block, and then asked someone to replace it. It didn't work anymore. It was too dusty and choked, so I couldn't even wear a mask.
We would not let Xiaoxuan do such dirty work, so the three of us men took turns and worked all day long until the evening of the next day.
I was resting against the big tree above when I suddenly heard Dou Sprout shouting from under the cave: "What is this! I touched something!"
I quickly ran over to take a look.
We made a big gap in the roof of the concrete tomb, which was at least seven meters deep! Douyazai, wearing a headlamp, shouted to me: "Fengzi, come down quickly and see what this is! Damn it! It looks like a stone monument."
!”
I quickly slid down and let it lean to the side.
It's really a bluestone monument.
The entire inscription is almost completely covered by cement, with only a few weird patterns exposed on the edges, which are more than 1.5 meters long and more than 1 meter wide.
I said, hurry up and have a look. What on earth is this? I’ve never seen it before.
Brother Yu threw down the rope and I tied a kamikaze knot.
The more strenuous the Kamikaze knot is, the tighter it becomes and will not fall off, because if it falls off, we will have nowhere to run in such a narrow place underneath and will be crushed to death by stone monuments.
"Brother Yu! Pull!"
I shouted and asked Bean Sprouts to help me carry it.
"Can you do it, Brother Yu! It's very heavy!"
"No problem! Let go!"
I looked up and watched Brother Yu bend his waist and pull the stone tablet up little by little.
Because most of the surface of the stele was covered with cement, I picked up a stone and used a knife as a chisel to gently knock off the layer of cement covering the surface, and soon a line of small characters engraved with a knife was revealed.
He poured some water on the stone tablet and wiped it with his hands.
"Head...I can't understand this. It seems to be all in Tangut."
"Is this an epitaph made by the Xixia people themselves?" I asked doubtfully.
"No, it's something else. Epitaphs from the Liao and Jin Dynasties didn't use this kind of bluestone, and the characters were smaller than this."
