He didn't lie. The terrain here is half Gobi and half desert. The grass on the ground is all light black. There are not even any birds in the sky. If you stay here for a while, you will feel out of breath, very stuffy, depressed, and lifeless.
.
Dou Sprout had a cold last night and had a runny nose. He sneezed and said, "It feels like another world here."
Aji looked up at the dark sky and said worriedly: "Legend has it that the Black General of Harahot lives on this land. The Black General's soul has cursed the Mongolian soldiers for generations. The grass here, the sky here, and here
The land and water sources have been affected by the black general's resentment and turned black."
"Sneeze!" Dou Yazai sneezed and it almost flowed into his mouth. He wiped his nose and said, "I see, this is not the soul of a black general. This is just a piece of black land. It may have been there for hundreds of years."
There was a large oasis in front of it, and a large number of trees died and rotted into the soil, turning it into black soil."
Oh, Yazai, when did you realize your wisdom and learn how to analyze? I pointed to the surroundings and said, "Then you can analyze why the grass growing around here is also black."
"Well..."
Dou Sprout thought for a long time and said loudly: "The grass growing on the black soil must be black grass. Just like a black man giving birth to a child with a black man, he can't give birth to a white one, right?"
"Okay, okay, don't be poor," Tuo looked at me and said, "Yunfeng, try it first, try your luck with the shovel, and see the underground soil structure here."
I nodded and said yes, turned around and took out the pole-type Luoyang shovel from my bag.
There are four kinds of shovels in the tomb robbing industry. The Luoyang shovel is used for taking soil samples to determine the location of ancient tombs. The cyclone shovel is used for digging soil and digging holes. The other two shovels are called short-handled shovels and pick-billed shovels.
The short-handled shovel has two ends. One end is an iron surface more than ten centimeters wide, and the other end has a three-pronged tip, which is a bit like a trident, but the three tips are flat. The short-handled shovel is easy to carry.
The purpose is to pry coffins.
The pick shovel is used in the south, but rarely in the north. This kind of shovel has a long and very narrow tip, which is suitable for digging water holes underwater. When using a pick shovel for underwater operations, it will basically not bring up sediment, which makes people in the water
You can see it clearly at the bottom, which is convenient for tomb robbers.
The most famous time when a pickaxe was used was the Jiangkou Chenyin tomb robbery more than ten years later. The group used a pickaxe to find a lot of treasures underwater, including the golden seal of General Yongchang.
There is a technique for shoveling in Luoyang. The northern school calls it one smash, three turns and two pokes.
First choose a rough location, pick up the Luoyang shovel and smash it on the ground. The hit will mark a point to prevent subsequent deviations. If you think it is OK, you will put the Luoyang shovel on the ground and turn it left and right three times with your hands, like this
You can test the hardness of the soil. If the hardness is suitable, just do it. Lift the Luoyang shovel and poke it twice to retract it. It can bring up half a shovel of soil.
Repeat this, and soon an excellent exploration hole will be laid.
At the beginning when I shoveled the soil in Luoyang, the quality was okay, neither soft nor hard. When the shovel reached about 1.5 meters, I clearly felt that the resistance became smaller.
This is not a good sign, it means there is a layer of sand under the ground.
Seeing the loose sand brought up by Luoyang's shovel, he hesitated for a moment, frowned and said: "If there is a layer of quicksand, there is no need to dig it down, it is useless. The shovel will bring it up a little and it will be immediately covered by the quicksand. This way, the depth will never be enough."
Yunfeng, why don't you try making a four-legged formation?"
I nodded and said yes, took back the Luoyang shovel and looked for the copper bowl used to set up the four-legged formation.
The four-legged formation is a special method used by tomb robbers. If you are lucky, the accuracy can reach over 60%.
This method was first invented by a man named Ma Liu from the Nanpai Guangdong Gang.
In the early years, there were four people in the Ma Liu tomb robbery gang. These four people stood at the four corners, dug a hole in the ground, and then buried four copper bowls at the four corners. This kind of copper bowl was specially made and the bowl was divided into two layers.
, the lower layer is filled with water, and the upper layer is filled with soil. The shape is similar to the Kongming bowl used for tribute in the past. It looks big, but in fact it is full with just a little something.
