Such a large-scale Tushan tomb almost replicates the entire ancient Western Xia imperial mausoleum system underground! Originally, a tomb within a tomb was designed, and even the coffin was protected by corpse poison. However, no priceless cultural relics were found in the coffin of the tomb owner. Ghosts Know what's going on.
After finishing the work, Douyazai and I sat in the southwest corner of the tomb to rest and smoke. Douyazai looked around and said, "Fengzi, I guess the owner of this tomb is probably not Li Xian. Think about it, even if he was in trouble, he was still the emperor, and he also established the West." Wu Erguo, how could a person like him be buried with dozens of small things in his coffin?"
"So what do you think?"
Dou Yazai blew out a puff of smoke, pointed at the top of the tomb and frowned: "I think this big tomb is the imperial mausoleum, but this man died first and moved in."
Dou Yazai pointed to the red coffin and said: "Maybe he is Li Xian's imperial concubine. Because she is a man, she was opposed by the ministers of the Western Wu Kingdom and was forbidden to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. But Li Xian liked him, so he secretly buried her in the imperial mausoleum." He was buried here. At that time, he was afraid of attracting opposition, so he only dared to give a sparse burial."
Dou Sprouts usually says nine out of ten sentences that are unreliable, but there is one that is reliable. The more I think about it, the more likely it is that what he said is possible. Is this not the main tomb, but a companion tomb?
I immediately stood up, pointed to the north corner of the tomb and said, "Brother Yu, take a crowbar and knock on the wall bricks a few times."
"Xiaoxuan, you go too and knock bricks on the wall in the west corner."
Soon, Xiaoxuan and Brother Yu were knocking on the wall bricks with a clanging sound.
I listened to the echo, frowned and said, "Keep knocking, don't stop."
"Fengzi, what are you doing?"
I ignored Dou Sprout and instead lay down, pressing my ears against the floor tiles of the tomb, listening carefully to the vibrations and echoes underground.
Sound can propagate through gases, liquids and solids. Even in a relatively closed environment, as long as it is not a vacuum, the sound can be transmitted to the surrounding walls.
If there is a small space behind a wall, the sound will be reflected back through the air after reaching the small space. Ordinary people's ears cannot detect this difference. Some animals in life, such as dogs, can.
At this time, he raised his head and frowned and said: "Yunfeng, Mr. Jiao and I inspected this place. There should be no tombs. Did you hear that there is a problem?"
"Stop it, Brother Yu, don't knock it yet."
I frowned and said, "It's not a trap. Just now Brother Yu knocked on the wall, and I always felt... the echo seemed to be blocked by something."
"you sure?"
"I'm not sure. I have a vague feeling."
"In which direction specifically?" He turned his head and asked again.
I shook my head again and said that the direction was not certain, it might be under our feet.
After hearing this, Tou Tou took a breath and said, "If it's really like what you said, it's a tomb within a tomb within a tomb."
People in ancient times were very sophisticated and were afraid of being stolen. Many people would hide valuables in the mezzanines of tomb walls. Now regular troops in the industry even use cavity meters. Wherever there is a mezzanine, the machine will scan it and it will be clear. Ours There was no such thing back then, so finding a mezzanine all depended on experience and luck.
Finding a mezzanine is a big problem. From my experience, let me give you an example in practice.
For example, there is a large underground palace from the Tang Dynasty. Its structure is basically in the shape of a long strip, and there is a clack in the middle of the long strip! Three thousand-pound stone doors have fallen down! The area in front of each stone door is divided into tomb passages and caves. and patios. The more patios there are, the more noble the tomb owner’s status was.
The owner of the tomb is a man. I have seen one with seven patios. The worst is a first-class official or a prince. The owner of the tomb is a woman. The highest I have seen is one with six patios. This can only be a princess.
Or for a princess, an ordinary tomb of Madam Gaoming would never dare to build six patios.
There is a small niche on the patio. The mezzanine is usually hidden behind the small niche. It can be opened with a crowbar. There must be something good hidden inside.
