There are several candles standing on the floor of the tomb.
The candle flames illuminated the wall, clearly reflecting the shadows of several people.
"one!"
"Two! Get up!"
The three big men worked together to press the crowbar and managed to lift up the bluestone strips paved on the ground.
This kind of bluestone strips are arranged in an orderly and tight manner. Visually, each piece weighs more than three hundred kilograms. We have already pried up four pieces, and this is the fifth piece.
Just listen to Douyazai panting: "I'm so exhausted, but I still don't see the mezzanine, Fengzi!"
Under the bluestone strips is yellow-brown fine sand. Judging from experience, this kind of fine sand is often filled with dead soil. The presence of dead soil proves that there is no mezzanine tomb hidden under our feet.
Am I really feeling wrong?
One way to verify this is to pry up all the bluestone strips paving the floor, but if you do that, just like Bean Sprouts complained, it can tire people to death.
After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and said, "Finally, let's try to pry them together. If it doesn't work, just pull them down."
The result was quickly obtained. No, there was dead soil under the bluestone strips. Regarding this situation, we didn’t even have any hope, so we packed up and prepared to leave.
But just before I went out, I looked back and saw a beam of moonlight shining down from the crack in the vault.
This beam of moonlight was impartial and shone right on the vermillion-lacquered red coffin.
"What are you looking at? Let's go Yunfeng." Brother Yu called me.
I stared blankly at the wonderful scene of "the red coffin illuminated by the moon" in front of me, and my heart kept beating.
"Don't leave yet!"
"We all overlooked one thing!"
"Under the coffin! Head! Under the coffin!"
When he heard this, his face changed.
We immediately returned to the tomb, worked together to move the red coffin aside, and pried open the two bluestone strips under the red coffin. We saw that the bottom was not fine sand, but white plaster mud!
It’s a large layer of white plaster mud, all solidified!
When Dou Sprout saw this, he said excitedly: "Damn it! I didn't expect there was a damn dark layer!"
I was also short of breath and said, what are you waiting for? Hurry and dig down!
Ancient people took great pains to prevent tomb robberies.
The top layer of white plaster mud dried and became solid. After digging down thirty centimeters, the white plaster mud layer began to soften, just like the cream on the ice cream we eat, and large pieces stuck to our shovel.
Can't even shake it off.
The white paste mud is afraid of vinegar and urine. We peed twice without vinegar. After digging for ten minutes, it became less sticky to the shovel.
It was only dug about two meters deep, and a blue brick roof was exposed. I smashed the roof and threw down the rope. After half an hour of ventilation, we followed the rope down.
"hiss......"
"call....."
"It's so cold...Why is it so cold?" I couldn't help but shudder.
When the flashlight shone forward, we saw a thick and short stone door, less than two meters high. The stone door was tightly closed, and a layer of dust fell on the surface. On the door beam, squatting in a row were nine tomb-suppressing beasts, tomb-suppressing orcs.
It has the face of an animal and the body of an animal, with wings and eyes that look like humans and animals. It looks down very ferociously, as if it wants to scare away those of us who are disturbing the soul of the tomb owner.
On the left and right sides of the short stone gate, there are two basalt stone sculptures with rare themes.
Two large black turtles with snake tails are carved, and a bluestone tablet is carried on the turtle shell. These things include tomb beasts, which look weird and mysterious.
I stuttered a bit when I spoke, so I asked: "B...bangtou, is this...the Xuanwu Tuo Monument?"
He squinted his head and said, "Yes, this thing represented imperial power in the past."
I couldn't help but walk over and touch it.
It's so rare, it's the first time I've seen this thing in real life.
This is not a tortoise, it is a Xuanwu. Turtle burden stele has been unearthed in many places in China, but it is not a Xuanwu burden stele! The way to tell the difference is to see if the turtle has a long snake tail.
When I shine a flashlight on it, I can see that both sides of the bluestone stele are densely covered with Xixia script.
I asked Xiaoxuan to take a few photos with her mobile phone. If you want to know what the inscription contains, there is only one way to go out and get a Xia-Chinese dictionary published in 1997, and compare the dictionary word by word.
It won't take a year or two for me to correct myself.
Once these two Xuanwu camel monuments are unveiled, they will surely cause a sensation.
I still abide by the old northern rule, which is to never touch these life-threatening things, but starting from the late 1980s, many people in the industry no longer abide by such rules.
After watching it for a few minutes, I asked worriedly: "This kind of door is difficult to open. It may be similar to the Vajra Door. Is there any way?"
He nodded his head and said: "Yes, this kind of stone door is often more difficult to open the shorter it is. As for the method... there are some."
