I kept doing it until it got dark and asked me about my head.
"Borderline" is a jargon term, which means using a Luoyang shovel to detect the boundary shape of an ancient tomb, and use this to determine whether it is a rectangular tomb or a square tomb.
I wiped my sweat and said, "It should be about the same. It is about 34 meters long and 17 meters wide. This is really quite big. The imperial tombs of Xixia are only so big." (Compared to the Central Plains, Xixia tombs are generally smaller.)
I followed the edge I had discovered and walked a dozen steps northwest, then turned a corner and walked toward the middle.
He stopped his head in the middle and said: "According to my experience, the main tomb is probably located under my feet."
"Yunfeng Wenbin, just open a one-meter hole from here."
After finishing speaking, he shook his head slightly and said, "I hope God will bless me. Instead of a fully grouted tomb, it would be better to have a semi-grouted tomb."
Once we get the order, we'll do it right away.
I take back what I said before.
Working here is not unscrupulous. There is another hidden danger: July crawlers. July crawlers are just like those who raise dogs in the desert. They are party members. Now we are equivalent to digging up people's ancestral graves.
Around 8:30, we dug a one-meter-diameter tunnel that led directly to the ground.
I stood at the bottom of the cave and took a flashlight.
I was immediately frightened!
It's all gray-white cement...everywhere, it's all cement.
There is no treasure on the top of the coupon, and no bluestone tomb bricks.
Everywhere you look is filled with uneven concrete.
Seeing this scene, any trace of luck in our hearts was shattered.
With a disappointed look on his face, he shook his head and said, "Hey... If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears. Whatever you're afraid of, it will come. If you are sure that this is a full-water tomb, come up."
Bean Sprouts pushed the shovel down hard.
I just heard a "clang!" and sparks popped up.
Dou Sprout was not convinced and shouted: "Head! We have to find a way! I can smell the smell of meat! How can I just smell the smell but not be able to eat it!"
"Well... you guys come up first and have a drink of water before we talk."
Xiaoxuan lit a fire, Dou Sprout and I climbed up from the thief's cave, and everyone sat around to discuss what to do.
He told us his thoughts first, which made my heart tremble.
Which Xixia dignitary is buried here? The owner of the tomb is by no means an ordinary person.
"A half-poured grave" is how I describe it.
The ingredients of ancient cement were generally yellow sand mud, lime, and glutinous rice slurry.
Place a coffin in the main tomb, and then use five hard boards to surround the coffin and seal it. It can be imagined that a closed wooden frame is built for the coffin, and then a hole is opened at the top, and a large amount of cement is poured in.
Cement sealed the entire coffin, which weighed several tons.
The tombs in Baoying County and Taizhou are like this.
The archaeological team tried to open it but failed. The coffin didn't look like a coffin, it was just a big cement lump!
Ordinary small cranes can't lift it up, so you have to use a big crane to lift it out of the tomb.
"Fully poured tomb" not only refers to sealing the coffin with cement, but also refers to using hundreds of tons of cement to fill and seal the entire tomb, which is 30 meters in diameter.
The coffin, funerary objects, and all kinds of things were all sealed in cement.
There is no tomb door, no tomb roof, no patio, just a huge rectangular cement block 30 meters long.
How to open this?
Think about it, how do you do this?
How to get in?
The way to deal with stone and sand-accumulated tombs is to dig horizontal wells, but that doesn't work now. We have determined that no matter which direction the horizontal well is dug, it will eventually hit the cement.
Invulnerable to swords and guns, invulnerable to water and fire.
It's more like a tortoise shell than a tortoise shell, that's why I say this is my younger brother's behavior.
At this time, Brother Yu thought for a while, frowned and said: "Boss, what if we use explosives? Blow it up!"
He immediately shook his head and said: "The funerary items in the coffin in the tomb are all mixed with cement. If you use explosives, even if it is lucky enough to explode, all the funerary items will be destroyed, and then they will lose their value."
Then, Mao Tou said: "No matter who is buried here, I guess the owner of the tomb must have made a lot of determination."
Everyone fell into silence for a short time, and only the sound of burning firewood was heard.
"Yes!"
Douyazai suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I thought of a good idea! I can definitely break open this cement tomb!"
"Oh? Tell me."
"Fengzi, do you think this will work?"
"We widened the hole to two meters, drew a door shape on the cement block, and then drilled it down with a hammer drill!"
"The impact drill is not as powerful as explosives and will not damage the funerary objects. Once we encounter cultural relics, we can stop immediately! Besides! It is only cement and has no steel bars! It only takes a matter of minutes for the impact drill to open this thing!"
Dou Sprout was very proud after finishing speaking.
I blew smoke into his face, smiled and said, "Well said, may I ask Mr. Dou, where is your impact drill?"
"Also, even if you have an impact drill, where will you get electricity? Human power? Or wind power?"
Dou Sprout hesitated and couldn't speak.
After a few seconds, Dou Sprout patted his thigh again and said I had another idea!
"Brother Yu! Get a chisel and hammer! Carve it out bit by bit! This doesn't require electricity! It won't damage the cultural relics either!"
After hearing this, I immediately said: "This is a bad idea again. If you do that, let's come here to pick up Brother Yu in fifty years. When the time comes, I will just ask my grandson to come for me."
Brother Yu laughed heartily after hearing this.
Xiaoxuan smiled, a rare smile appearing on her serious face.
Lao Fu, who had been listening, suddenly spoke at this moment, and we all looked at him.
He said: "Guys, I know that Mr. Guo in the experimental field has an impact drill. I saw it last time. It should be used for building foundations. Also, he also has a small diesel generator there. Take a look.
..."
"Uncle Fu, is it true? Are you sure?"
Lao Fu nodded again and said yes.
We originally took Dou Sprout's words as a joke, but it's different now.
As the saying goes, treating a dead horse as a live doctor means you have to try everything. The boss and I began to consider the feasibility of this method.
If you think about it carefully, let alone say it, it is really possible.
There are indeed examples of impact drills being used in tombs. The most recent case was when Yang Kun in Xi'an stole the large sarcophagus of Princess Wu. He first used a percussion drill to create cracks, then used a chainsaw to cut along the cracks, and finally cut out a
It cost more than a hundred yuan, and was assembled after being sold abroad.
Also, if you don’t believe me, go to foreign museums and see that many large stone carvings have cracks on their surfaces. This is how they were created.
Dou Sprout is the one who wakes up the dreamer with one word.
In other words, we can regard the entire cement tomb as a giant 30-meter-long sarcophagus! Just break it down!
If you can't use explosives, this may be the only way!
I immediately said: "Boss, how about I go back to the experimental field? I can get back in two days at most."
Seeing the boss hesitate a little, I said anxiously: "What if Li Xian's coffin is sealed in this big cement block, boss! We must not let it go!"
Men all have a gambling instinct. The less they see something, the more curious they are and the more they want it. I don’t believe that any civilian can be locked up like this.
Xixia is famous not only for the Tearing Buddha and the Wonderful Sound Bird, but also for the legendary woodblock version of the Six Tripitakas, the Wu Pearl, and the Four-Headed and Four-faced Bronze Guanyin! These are top-level cultural relics. If you can find one of them, the trip will be worth it.
"Why are you hesitating about it? It's useless. Just do it!" I said anxiously.
"Wen Bin, if not, you two can go back to the experimental field together."
"Need not."
I stood up immediately: "I know the way. Brother Yu, stay here to protect the big guy. Uncle Fu, give me your shotgun."
"I'll leave now."
