It is well known that lightning strikes are prone to occur in areas with metal deposits. Xu Qing still understands this common sense. He chose a good place, the rare earth mining area in Yanglin'ao Township in the southern suburbs, which is also an area where many private mines gather. On rainy days, it is inaccessible.
The top of the mountain is not difficult.
Yanglin'ao Township in the southern suburbs of the city was once a hilly area with fertile soil and simple folk customs. In the mid-1980s, it was discovered that a huge amount of rare earth minerals were contained here. As the widespread application value of rare earths was also highlighted, underground
The news that the earth ore could be sold for money gave the originally simple villagers hope of getting rich.
If rare earths can be sold for money, who will farm the land? Lured by migrant miners, the villagers of Yanglin'ao Township began to invest in the industry of mining rare earth minerals. The fertile soil became a barren land and the dense forests were no longer available.
Decades of indiscriminate excavation and mining have left this land riddled with holes. The underground mineral deposits have become a tool for people to obtain money and wealth. They have completely abandoned their original innocence, leaving a vast desolation for future generations.
of incomplete land.
Crack - a blazing bolt of lightning snaked down from the sky and hit a sudden rock on the top of the mountain, followed by a burst of rolling thunder that made the earth tremble, and raindrops began to fall from the sky.
Rain is great for this scarred land. The soil washed out by the rain can heal the land, at least on rainy days no one will destroy it.
A simple shack has been built at the foot of a shady hillside. From the outside, it looks like a temporary shelter for miners. When you enter it, you will see a tattered bamboo strip bed. If you lift the bed board, you will find that the ground has been dug for some time.
The man dug out a circular earth pit, surrounded the pit twice with earth, and buried a few iron bars inside to reinforce it. Even if a little rainwater came in, it would not flow into the pit. This was a stolen hole.
Finding ways to build houses around tombs, and then digging holes inside the houses is the most common method used by tomb robbers. Tomb robbing is actually a very high-tech industry, with higher risks than technology and higher profits than risks. It belongs to the three high industries.
Modern tomb robbers also know how to keep pace with the times and are equipped with various high-tech products and even foreign gadgets, such as ZIPPO lighters, which are better than the cold light of flashlights. The flames can also detect the oxygen content in the tunnel at any time.
It has become a must-have item for the new generation of tomb robbers. Of course, the lighter must be filled with gas before entering the cave.
Dark clouds were rolling in the sky outside the cave, and it had begun to rain. Deep inside the cave, there was a little man wearing a shower cap and crawling forward with a lighter. He was Gou Si, a professional tomb robber. In his words
, he was born to eat this bowl of rice, and if he didn't crawl underground for a few days, his whole body would feel uncomfortable. One day, he would have to use his own means to crawl into the tomb of the First Emperor.
Tomb robbers also have ideals. The highest ideal in this industry is to enter the tomb of the First Emperor. No one can come out alive yet. Gou Si is obviously just talking about it, but what he has entered now is also a tomb with a lot of history.
The first time he fished out a King Yu's Cauldron from inside, he hurriedly exited. Intuitively, he felt that there was something good in it.
The robbery hole was dug before. No one would pay attention to this robbery hole because the miners here do the same thing every day. The holes they dig are bigger and deeper, but no one knows that this is where the hole is.
There is a large tomb hidden at the foot of the hillside.
Gou Si is a tomb robber with itchy hands. He believes in not leaving his fists but his hands and his mouth. As long as he can still dig, he will not let this skill go to waste. Even if he has saved enough money, he will dig now.
There are already very few grave robbers, and with the disappearance of burial customs, there will be even fewer grave robbers. This industry may even disappear in the near future, but he will do his best now to pass on the industry.
A hole has been dug into the brick wall in front of the tomb. This was the hole that Gou Si dug out with a stainless steel sheep's hoof specially used to cut brick walls when he came in last time. It is just big enough for one person to enter. Both the robbery hole and the brick wall hole are both open.
It was dug based on his own body type. If other people found out, it would be difficult for them to come in. Unless someone even thinner than him came in, even someone with half a pound of flesh would not be able to enter the robbery hole.
This is a technology.
Entering the tomb through the hole in the brick wall, Gou Si picked up a pocket flashlight from under his collar, turned it on, and held the end directly in his mouth. After entering the tomb, there was no need for a lighter, and a flashlight was more convenient and easier to use.
Gou Si did not move forward immediately, but tied a thin rope around his waist. This rope was made of high-strength synthetic fiber, and one end was fixed near the robbery hole with a nine-inch three-edged nail.
At the exit, the other end is tied around the waist. A rope is necessary for a large tomb that extends in all directions. At critical moments, it is like a life-saving straw in the hands of a drowning person. It can really save lives in this dark tomb.
Gou Si is a dedicated tomb robber, and he is also a conscientious tomb robber. He only takes the objects that can be seen and within reach. He will open the coffin and steal the burial objects. As for the objects in the body of the tomb owner, he will
He would not move it. Destroying a corpse was disrespectful to the deceased. He had never done it before. Perhaps because of this, he would gain many unexpected gains every time. In his words, it was the owner of the tomb who guided him to take away these things.
With regard to external objects, I wish for peace of mind after death.
Gou Si had entered this large tomb once, and now he was quite familiar with it. He did not take many detours and entered the main tomb directly. This is the resting place of the tomb owner and the place where he obtained the Kyushu King Yu's tripod.
There was a gloomy and cool feeling in the tomb. The identity of the owner of the tomb was very mysterious during his life, and he did not leave anything to prove his identity after his death. However, the number of burial objects in the tomb was not large, but each one was unique.
Treasures, just like the Jiuzhou King Yu's tripod, even Gou Si didn't think it was genuine at first, but only thought it was a fake imitated in ancient times.
The coffin of the owner of the tomb is as tall as a person. There are eight well-preserved pottery pots placed outside. Originally there were nine pottery pots of this kind. I remember that the first tripod of King Yu of Kyushu was discovered under the pots at that time.
A false alarm.
Gou Si took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a small pile of bright red cinnabar. He picked up a small handful with his fingers and sprinkled it beside the coffin. He muttered something. This is what a professional tomb robber must do every time he enters the tomb.
The lessons learned are not some pretense, they are something passed down from the ancestors, and they can turn disaster into good luck.
After sprinkling the cinnabar, Gou Si took off an object that looked like a sheep's hoof from his back. He stretched out his hand and used the sheep's hoof to open one of the clay pots. The moment the jar was tilted, a stream of black smoke rose from the bottom.
