After jogging for nearly an hour, a large sandy slope suddenly appeared in front of me. The sandy slope was very steep and extended downward to 40 degrees.
When we got here, the traces left by the dragging suddenly disappeared.
Brother Yu looked around with his flashlight and said, "Be careful, go down and see what's going on."
I nodded and said yes.
Tengger is very big, and there are many sandy slopes like this, which are not noticeable during the day, let alone at night. The sand reached my knees when I stepped on them.
The sand was dripping down the sandy slope. At this moment, the moonlight was cold and the sky was full of stars. I looked around and was shocked to find that this area was actually solid land.
The soil underfoot is light black, surrounded by scattered gravel and hay, revealing a desolate scene.
I held the knife handle tightly and followed Brother Yu.
I was just looking around, but as I was walking, I suddenly tripped and almost fell.
After I stood firm, I looked down and found that what tripped me was actually a Luoyang shovel with a short wooden handle that was broken into two pieces.
Nowadays, Luoyang shovels on the market are basically made of stainless steel casings, and only the archaeological team uses wooden handles (for fear of damaging cultural relics).
Compared with the Luoyang shovel we usually use, the short-handled Luoyang shovel has a stronger purpose, which is to remove the hole and break the coffin board. It is mostly used by tomb robbers in Henan.
I also discovered that a broken piece of Luoyang shovel had a word "six" engraved on the handle.
Luoyang shovel is the way we eat. If there is no accident, we will never throw it away casually.
Could it be that they were left behind by those who returned to the customs?
I couldn't figure it out, so I told Brother Yu and started to check the surroundings. I asked him to pay attention to the ground and call me if he saw any mounds of dirt.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, you've discovered something.
After plowing about 100 meters away from Luoyang, we found a large hole about half a meter wide. The entrance of the hole led to the ground. The shape was somewhat irregular. At first glance, it looked like a hole made by tomb robbers.
When people get closer and look into the cave, they see nothing but darkness.
There are robber holes and broken Luoyang shovels.
Where have people gone?
If it was dug by those who came back to the customs a few months ago, what kind of tomb is this?
Seeing Brother Yu curiously wanting to crawl under, I grabbed him.
I said Brother Yu’s situation is unclear now. We only have a flashlight and nothing else. Don’t let anything happen.
"It's too boring, it's useless for you to think so much,"
After he finished speaking, he immediately got into the hole and slid down with his hands stretched out.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to follow him down.
The height of this cave is about 11 or 2 meters. After descending to the bottom, I smelled a faint smell, similar to the smell of sulfur.
When I shined a light with my flashlight, I found a brick wall. Directly in front of it was a low arch, less than one meter high. The blue bricks sealing the arch had been damaged, and it was barely possible for a person to get through.
I frowned at the low arch.
The prototype of brick chamber tombs appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty, and became more popular in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The short door with a height of less than one meter has its own explanation. It is different from the patio in the Song Dynasty. People in the industry call this kind of low door the funeral door.
, it is also called Qiaomen in some places, which is rare.
Many people in ancient times believed in the first seven.
Kindness and affection lead to solitary yin, and solitary yang does not last long.
After a family member dies, he or she must go through the first seven, three, and seven days. It is said among the people that people have three souls and seven souls. One soul dies one year after death, one soul dies every seven days, the soul dies in three years, and the soul dies in seven days. Before the soul dies,
If you can't go to Huangquan Road, this low arch is left to allow the owner's soul to move forward and retreat freely. Therefore, the bridge gate in the tomb is not for people to pass through, but for the soul to pass through.
"Come and take a look," Brother Yu made a discovery and called me over.
I walked in and took a look and found a blue brick on the top of the low arch, with a line of small words carved on the brick surface with a knife.
Wiping off the dust, I tried to read it word by word, softly.
"Bei...The commander of the Northern Capital...Jin Along's beloved daughter, the tomb of Jin Youzi."
