Ancient pagodas left before the Ming Dynasty have always been loved by tomb robbers. Compared with large tombs, the things in ancient pagodas are generally more refined and valuable.
Do you think that since the tower is so high, all the treasures are hidden in a certain section of the tower? This happens, but it is very rare. Generally speaking, if something is buried during the construction of the tower, it is either on the top of the tower or at the bottom of the tower.
, just below the foundation.
Archaeological teams generally do not advocate active excavation of such things hidden under the base of the tower. The space for hiding things under the tower is not large, ranging from ten to dozens of square meters. Famen Temple was discovered accidentally when it collapsed due to heavy rain.
A batch of epoch-making super cultural relics were unearthed from the secret beneath the tower base.
Famen Temple is a thirteen-story brick pagoda. I don’t know if it is a coincidence. Thirteen Kaiyuan Tongbao made of tortoise shell were unearthed under the base of the pagoda. Tortoise shell is a turtle shell. Copper coins made of tortoise shells are the only one in the past dynasties.
.
In addition, a batch of secret-color porcelain from the late Tang Dynasty was also discovered. The number of secret-color porcelain is far less than that of Ru kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty. They had only heard of it before, and no one had seen the real thing. Some scholars believe that secret-color porcelain only exists in books and has not been found in books.
There is no real object handed down to the world, and the discovery of Famen Temple severely slapped these people in the face.
There is also a dress belonging to Wu Zetian, a golden letter from the pagoda, etc., all found under the foundation of Famen Temple.
What I mean by this is that there may be valuable things under the ancient pagoda. The Lanzhou Museum is not inactive, it just does not encourage active digging, so it will attract tomb robbers.
The first time I saw the thief hole in the rabbit farm on Qingyang Road, I was not only shocked, but also scared.
It is only a few meters away from the Lanzhou Museum. This robbery hole is about 6 meters deep. Above the robbery hole is Qingyang Road, a busy road. The tomb robbers are digging holes underground and dumping soil. Maybe there are people riding electric cars above.
Wait for the red light.
Seeing that I was shocked and speechless, Douya pointed at the robbery hole and greeted me: "Fengzi, why don't we go down and see where the mouse hole leads to."
I didn't want to go down, because the gap boards are still piled here, which proves that the gang will come back at any time. What if they come back and find that someone has entered the robbery cave, and they directly seal the entrance of the cave?
If that's the case, when Qingyang Road is built in a few years, they might use a hook machine to dig out Dou Sprout and me.
Later, I went into the pit, just because I was too curious. I wanted to see if this robbery hole led to the foundation of Baiyi Temple.
I was afraid that the group would suddenly come back, so I pulled a carpet over to cover it up before going down into the pit.
The hole was not wide, so Doudou Yazai and I groped in the dark and slid down with our feet supported. After we got down, we took out our cell phones. We used the weak light from the cell phones to illuminate us and crawled forward.
It can be seen from the shovel marks left on the wall of the cave that the group used a manual whirlwind chopper. The shovel mouth was neatly arranged and extended downward one layer at a time. The geotechnical worker who dug this hole must be a master.
I paid careful attention. When I crawled about two hundred meters along the thief hole, I found a cigarette butt on the ground. I picked it up and looked at it carefully. The cigarette butt was Bai Xing'an produced in Inner Mongolia. I wonder if it can be found here in Lanzhou.
Buy this cigarette.
"Are these the wooden boards up there?" When I reached a corner, Dou Sprout pointed at me and asked.
I said yes, be careful and don't knock down these cracked boards.
After turning several corners, the cave became narrower and narrower. At first we could stand with our backs bent, but when we got here we could only crawl forward on our stomachs.
"Bah!" Dou Sprout, who was following me, complained: "Fengzi, please slow down, dirt is in my mouth."
I looked up at the top of the robber cave and asked Dou Sprout in a low voice if he heard the car horn.
Dou Sprout looked up and listened: "No way, don't be suspicious, this mouse hole is too small, damn, it's packed to death."
I continued to climb along the Thief Cave for another four to five hundred meters.
"stop!"
I suddenly found that there was no road ahead. The cave had collapsed and was mostly covered by soil. The fallen clods of soil were just blocked by the gap board. In the current situation, it is almost impossible for people to get through unless they dig again.
I'm not sure if the group deliberately collapsed it after they succeeded or if they made a mistake, and now they can only go back the way they came.
"Go back to Yazai." I turned around and shouted.
Since the space was too small to turn around, we walked backwards little by little. The distance was only a few hundred meters, and it took nearly 40 minutes to go back and forth.
After returning to the family home, she saw that my hair was covered with dirt. Xiaoxuan was surprised and asked what did you do.
Dou Sprout patted the dirt on his head and told Xiaoxuan about the rabbit hole theft.
Now that the rabbit farm is empty, we have temporarily lost clues about who the mysterious woman who sent me the text message is.
I told Dou Sprout that if the gang didn't come back to fill in the hole and deal with the cracked boards, the tunnel might last for a few years without anyone interfering, but it would eventually collapse.
