We took a few steps back, and Master Ji stretched out a hand without saying anything, asking us to see his gesture.
three two.
one....
The sound is not loud, just a click!
The walls of the tomb were instantly covered with cracks from top to bottom, but not a single piece of the wall fell off.
Master Ji touched the wall and seemed satisfied with the effect.
If it were a brick chamber tomb, you would use a shovel to remove the bricks at this stage, but this kind of yellow mud wall is a pit tomb and is a whole piece. To ensure stability, it needs to be opened little by little.
"Huh? What is this?"
As the mud fell from the wall, Tian Sanjiu saw something first, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"This...is this transparent glass?" Xiaoxuan covered her mouth and said in surprise.
When we turned on the flashlight, the water rippled and shimmered, and people's faces were reflected in clean places, which looked very illusory.
Tian Sanjiu moved faster in his hand, and soon the whole thing was revealed.
It is a small teardrop-shaped door, with a sharp top and a wide bottom. Visually, it is more than fifty centimeters thick. After wiping off the floating dust, you can see that there are many cotton-like objects inside, which are pure white in color. The flashlight light will be refracted when it is approached.
No matter how you look at it, this is a big piece of glass, or a piece of crystal!
And the whole thing is in the shape of a water drop, perfectly stuck in the mountain body.
He looked up and asked doubtfully: "Brother Tian, what do you think?"
Tian Sanjiu frowned and said: "This looks like polished crystal, Wang Bangtou, I suddenly remembered something."
"In August 1990, were you involved in the work in Hangzhou?"
"Are you talking about the Warring States Period Tomb in the Brick House in Shitang Village?"
He shook his head: "No, I didn't participate. Then I was reported and three people were arrested."
I have also heard about this. I don’t know which tomb it is from, but I know that a cultural relic from that tomb is very famous. Many people once questioned that relic and thought it could not exist in that era.
Just that Warring States crystal cup.
The transparency, shape, and size are exactly the same as the glasses people use to drink draft beer today.
No one has ever seen this thing before. It can only be said that similar things appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The draft beer cup is now in the Hangzhou Museum. It is a treasure of the museum and is permanently prohibited from being exhibited abroad.
"ha..."
Dou Sprout took a breath and wiped it vigorously with his sleeve.
"ha..."
"Hey, head, do you see a smiley face carved here?" Dou Sprout said.
When I saw it, it was true.
On the lower right side of the glass door, there are several white marks. If you look closely at the outline, you can see that it is a "smiling face".
I don’t know if it’s because the craftsman’s skills are too poor or because the carving knife is slipping, but the smiling face is carved in a cartoonish way, not like something from thousands of years ago, looking at us with a smile.
From the side, it's hard to look directly at it, and it's hard to describe. It looks a bit like the big-eared Tutu in the cartoon.
"You can't see anything inside." Bean Sprout said with his face lying on the glass.
"It's a matter of light refraction. It's such a strange thing. This is not a door, this is a national treasure-level cultural relic." said Tou.
"national treasure?"
Dou Sprout knocked, "Then we caught it. Didn't we distribute it? Let's get it out quickly."
In the next few hours, we encountered the most difficult thing, which went against common sense in physics and was incredible.
The electric drill drilled into it, but not even a white spot was left.
Tian Sanjiu asked Hongyan to hit it with a steel shovel, and the damage was so intense that sparks appeared, but no trace was left.
I don’t know how many years it’s been, and it’s so hard that I can’t believe it.
If you don't open this thing, you won't be able to get in, and you won't know what's hidden inside.
After discussing it, although we felt it was a pity, we had no choice but to use explosives.
If an archaeological team discovers this place, it will slowly study it for several years. This is the difference between tomb robbing and archeology. In the final analysis, we are saboteurs.
Master Ji said that as long as explosives are used in a tomb, the overall structure of the tomb will be damaged. It will collapse in four to five years at the shortest term and twenty to thirty years at the longest. This kind of structural damage is irreversible.
It was loaded with explosives, including detonators and nitroglycerin balloons, and it did no damage to the door at all.
After a busy day of work, he was so exhausted that he was sweating. Dou Sprout gasped and said: "Is this... this is still a fucking crystal? It's too damned. Look at this smiling face. Are you looking at us and laughing at us?"
Tian Sanjiu looked around and murmured to himself: "No, there is no tomb that cannot be opened in this world. It's just that there is a lack of methods. Even if the anti-theft measures are good, such as the Mausoleum of the First Emperor Qianling, there will still be loopholes.
.”
Under the command of the leader and Tian Sanjiu, the two teams tried every conceivable method and made a big noise.
Smash walls, use explosives, impact drills, dig horizontal wells, etc.
Two days later.
Bean sprouts and I leaned against the wall side by side, with our legs flat.
Scattered around were dead impact drills, curled-edged cyclone shovels, and large and small bags.
We were all hungry, and we went from full of confidence to self-doubt, and finally to decadence and disappointment.
"Yunfeng."
"What's wrong?"
Xiaoxuan touched me quietly. She spread her hands and grabbed the last piece of chocolate candy in her palm.
"No," I shook my head and whispered, "Just keep it. There's nothing left to eat. It's useless if you eat it."
"Why don't you give it to me? I can help you eat it," Dou Sprout said after seeing it.
Xiaoxuan immediately put the chocolate into her trouser pocket.
"Look, you are stingy. If I eat it, it means Fengzi has eaten it, right? Fengzi?"
"Old Ji, is there anything else you can do?"
"Head..."
Master Ji looked tired, shook his head and said, "I have tried everything I can think of, but it doesn't work anymore. It has been two days and I have thrown away everything to eat. If this continues, we will all starve to death here.
"
"Wang Boss, what do you think?" Tian Sanjiu asked again.
After thinking about it, he said: "We broke through six gates in a row. We thought we would succeed this time, but we didn't expect..."
"Even if we go out, it will take a lot of energy. Although I am not willing to do it, we have nothing to eat and we can't use it up."
After hearing these words, Tian Sanjiu closed his eyes and said nothing.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like the cartoon smiling face on the dripping glass door is just laughing at us thieves.
What secrets are hidden behind this water droplet door...
Time is skipped.
Four days later.
At seven o'clock in the morning, several birdsong woke me up.
"Okay, old friend, you can ask me again. No problem. I'll call you when I get to Zhengding."
I rubbed my eyes and went out, woke up early, and was sitting on a chair in the living room making a phone call. When he saw me coming out, he pointed to the chair.
"Hey, Yumen, how's it going?"
Listening to the phone call, I stood up with my head raised.
"No one, it's Yunfeng, he's here too," he sat down again and turned on the hands-free phone.
"Hello, Sister Yu, I'm Yunfeng. I haven't seen you for a few months." I said hello to the phone.
"Oh, Yunfeng."
"I read what you posted the day before yesterday, and I also asked my book. The droplet door can also be called the tadpole door. The reason why it is so hard is most likely due to physical reasons."
"Physical cause, what do you mean?"
Yao Wenzhong's cultural level was not high, so he sent Yao Yumen to study abroad for several years at a very early age. She studied international archeology and she was very knowledgeable. That's why when her second brother disappeared, she asked Sister Yu for help.
It can be said that she is quite proficient in traps and tomb endings.
Sister Yu talked for a long time, but most of it was not understood, but there was one word that appeared repeatedly.
