The millennium is the golden three years for tomb robbers, and Xi'an and Baoji have always been the hardest hit areas.
A large number of cultural relics were leaked out, and many ordinary farmers suddenly became rich overnight.
It was my first time to visit Xi'an at that time, and my only impression of the city was mutton steamed buns. I had no idea that a large-scale archeology had been done at the sulfuric acid plant three years ago.
Jiang Yuan took me and Dou Yazai to the East Factory District. The West Factory District was newly built two years ago. Before the West Factory District was built, that is, three years ago, the Xi'an archaeological team discovered a large number of tombs from the Tang Dynasty there.
.
There are two types of tombs in total, the earth cave tomb and the brick chamber tomb. The archaeological team numbered these tombs as m, from m- to m9, a total of 10. A lot of things were unearthed in the tombs, like a full-body pottery statue of the King of Heaven, which is weird.
Scary tomb-suppressing beasts, pottery portraits of the Twelve Lives, large pottery camels, black gauze hats, square belts, gold belts, chariot and horse gear, round handcuffs, thallium tails, copper coins (Kaiyuan Tongbao), etc.
During the Xichang District archaeology three years ago, the experts made a cognitive mistake. In fact, all ten tombs were burial pits.
The real main tomb was not found at that time and was completely missed. Just like the Sanxingdui that was discovered decades ago, a new pit was recently discovered in Sanxingdui.
Why did the professional archaeological team miss it?
I guess it's a combination of two reasons.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Natural disasters are earthquakes, and man-made disasters are theft prevention (the ancients deliberately concealed them).
The ten accompanying tombs in Xichang District have similar specifications and standards. They are all sloped ladder-type tomb passages with oval patios and knife-backed corridors. Each tomb is several meters to dozens of meters apart, forming a complete tomb group.
These tombs look somewhere far away to the east.
That direction is the main tomb.
How did I discover it specifically, and what cool stuff is in the main tomb?
Listen to me, I guarantee you haven't seen it on the news.
...
"Let's go, don't you want to go?"
I pretended not to see anything and walked through quickly.
We passed this group of people.
"What's wrong, Fengzi, is there a problem?" Douyazai saw that my expression was wrong.
Seeing the three people walking away with their bags, I turned around and said, "Just wait for me here. I'll be back as soon as I go."
Bean Sprouts wondered what was going on. Could it be that we had been discovered?
"I'll go take a look and explain it to you in detail when I get back. Lend me your monkey hat."
Jiang Yuan gave me a hat, and I ran after him.
The identities of these three people were unknown, but because they were wearing winter work clothes issued by the sulfuric acid plant, they did not attract anyone's attention along the way. They left the sulfuric acid plant chatting with each other just like fellow workers after work.
I took a look when I passed by the duty room. I saw Old Man Ma sitting cross-legged on the bed with the bedsheets pulled up. He was eating a chopstick of pork head and taking a sip of wine, and was smacking his lips.
I put on Jiang Yuan's monkey hat and followed them all the way. When I saw three people walking into a small restaurant, I also went in.
The owner of the room was dozing off while watching TV. When he saw the guest, he quickly got up and asked, "I'm off work, what do you want to eat today?"
The middle-aged man at the head rubbed his hands and said: "Damn it, the weather is freezing to death, Lao Li! Give us some hard food!"
"Okay! How about braised pork ribs?"
"Fuck, spareribs are not a hard dish. Give us some fish and mutton! For the big pot, put an extra pound of mutton, and ten sesame seed cakes and a bottle of phoenix. It's damn cold today."
"Okay, let's have a big pot of fish and mutton. You guys are cooking it over the fire. I'll cook it for you. It'll take half an hour."
"What did you eat?" The boss took the accounting book and saw me at this time.
I said give me a bowl of mutton noodles.
The boss said he understood, and then he jumped into the kitchen and started working hard.
"Brother Niu, can we still make it happen years ago?"
The middle-aged man who was called Brother Niu was wiping his chopsticks with paper. After hearing this, he threw the paper into the trash can and said: "Zuzi, Brother Niu, you don't trust me when I do things? We have been working in the factory for half a year, right?"
"
"Well...yes, I came in May, so it's been more than half a year."
"That's it. The time is coming soon. The whole damn place has collapsed. Who knows how deep it is. There's no way to get in. The deputy director has already asked me to do it. The east factory area will be renovated next week.
I would turn on the hook machine at night and dig out the whole damn thing."
