Li Tianyuan rolled up the window and shouted to Qin Feng who had just walked to the field: "Brother Feng, two big fans of pork, a sheep, and twenty kilograms of wine, is that enough?"
"What did you call me?" Qin Feng's face darkened after hearing what Li Tianyuan said.
"Hey, no one else has forgotten this."
Li Tianyuan scratched his head and said: "Professor He, of course I call you Professor He. Brother Feng, don't worry. I will act like a mute and won't say a word."
Although Li Tianyuan was extremely talented in martial arts, his reaction to the world was far inferior to that of Leng Xiongfei. He almost let it slip when he addressed Qin Feng several times, but was later strictly ordered by Qin Feng not to speak in front of others.
"Be more thoughtful and let's go, Feizi, get in the car."
Qin Feng greeted Leng Xiongfei, opened the passenger door, and said: "You two are not allowed to drink a sip of wine tonight. Yuanzi, you pretend to have diarrhea, and Feizi, go take care of him..."
"I understand, Brother Feng!" Seeing Qin Feng's serious expression, Leng Xiongfei and Li Tianyuan agreed in unison.
Professor He from the city wanted to treat a guest, which was a big deal in Pingzhuang. Moreover, two fans of white pork were placed at the end of the village, as well as a freshly skinned sheep, which dazzled everyone.
Although it has entered the late 1990s, life in Pingzhuang is still relatively difficult. The per capita income per year is only 800 yuan.
The pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks that each household in the village usually raises at home are only willing to slaughter them during the New Year and festivals, and most of them are sent to the market for sale. At most, they only have a few kilograms of meat left at home to satisfy their cravings.
Even for veteran hunters like Cannon, who usually go into the mountains to hunt roe deer or wild boars, most of them are sold to restaurants outside the mountains, so they are still short of oil and water.
Qin Feng's act of treating guests immediately caused a sensation in the entire small mountain village. Village Chief Tang came out with cannons and some senior people who were highly respected in the village.
"Professor He, look at how serious this is, how can I ask you to pay for it?" Village Chief Tang yelled at Qin Feng when he was far away.
The people from the city introduced by Director Yang were not treated well on the first day, but they actually asked others to pay for the treat. This made the face-loving Village Chief Tang feel a little embarrassed.
"Village Chief Tang, I will go back tomorrow. Maybe I will bring students here in a few months..."
Qin Feng said sincerely: "There will be a lot of people with us by then, so we will probably have to trouble the folks. This little thing is nothing. We all have a good meal and a drink today. I would like to thank everyone in advance..."
"Then we can't let you spend the money alone."
Village Chief Tang thought for a while and said: "Cannon, do you still have half a roe deer at home that you are ready to sell? Take it out and cook it for dinner at night. I also have a jar of twenty-year-old wine there, and we will drink it at night...
…”
Village Chief Tang served as a soldier, and after being discharged from the army, he worked in this small village for almost thirty years. He spoke with absolute precision, and immediately pointed out all the good things that each family had saved.
In rural areas, weddings and funerals are usually handled by your own village. Even though the people left behind are all old men and women, the cooking is very easy.
Village Chief Tang gave an order, and the head of the village immediately set up several large pots, first boiled the fat meat to make oil, then picked some vegetables from the vegetable field and started frying them.
At around seven o'clock on a dark night in the summer, dozens of families in the whole village were sitting at the edge of the village. Whether they were old men or eldest wives, basically everyone had a bowl of wine poured in front of them.
As the protagonist today, Qin Feng was naturally taken special care of by everyone. Starting from Village Chief Tang to Cannon, the elders in the village took turns toasting to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng also finished his bowl of wine, but before he walked around, Qin Feng started to speak loudly. After a few more bowls of wine, Brother Du, his body suddenly slipped under the table, causing a burst of laughter.
In the countryside, being drunk is equivalent to being entertained. After seeing Qin Feng drunk, Village Chief Tang and others also started drinking as much as they could. They drank until ninety o'clock in the evening, and then everyone came back drunk.
Arrived at home.
"Are you all ready?"
When the silence of the small mountain village returned, Qin Feng, who was sleeping in the home of Village Chief Tang, stood up. He clearly heard the well-proportioned snoring of Old Man Tang. It was like thunder in the sky, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wake up.
It seemed that Qin Feng drank a lot of wine in the evening, but in fact, except for the first bowl of wine that he deliberately spilled all over himself, the rest was all water.
This technique is not difficult at all for Qin Feng, who can switch out fifty-four playing cards in an instant, and no one will notice any clues.
"Brother Feng, everything is ready..."
Li Tianyuan was carrying a backpack that was as tall as a person, and his face was full of excitement. For a person of his age, everything that happened today was undoubtedly very novel.
"Brother Feng, do you want to wait a little longer?" Leng Xiongfei, who had the experience of going to the grave, was very calm. He was afraid that the people in the village would not be able to sleep deeply at this moment, so that no accident would happen.
"It's okay. They drank a lot of wine at night. They're afraid they'll fall asleep early. Let's go. Be quiet on the road..."
Qin Feng shook his head. He was also shocked by the men in Pingzhuang today. The twenty kilograms of wine Li Tianyuan bought was not enough to drink. In the end, they even took out the rice wine and cooking wine used for cooking at home.
, then he returned home drunk.
Following Qin Feng's words, the three of them filed out of the yard, and quickly walked outside the village with the help of the stars in the sky. Seven or eight minutes later, they arrived at the cornfield of Uncle Tang's house.
"Yuanzi, lie down on the bank of the field and watch the wind. Feizi, prepare the blower..."
At the end of the field, Qin Feng took the backpack over and told Leng Xiongfei: "After I get through the robbery hole, you put your coat on the blower and start it, otherwise the sound will be too loud..."
Although there are many robber holes in this big tomb, it has been covered in dust for thousands of years, and after the robber holes are filled up, new harmful gases will be produced inside. Qin Feng has not lived enough, and he does not want to be like the fledgling Leng Xiongfei, who fell into a trap.
Go into the tomb.
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Leng Xiongfei said: "Brother Feng, you have to go to the tomb later, why don't you take a rest and I will dig this robbery hole?"
During this trip to rob the tomb, Leng Xiongfei was just eating and drinking. Even when he found the main tomb at the end of the field, Qin Feng could see it. Leng Xiongfei had to think of something to do, so he could feel better.
.
"Okay, let me see your skills." Qin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then handed the engineer shovel to Leng Xiongfei with a smile.
The engineer shovel that Qin Feng brought from Henan Province was specially made. The handle of the shovel was very short, and the blade was very sharp. It used the power of both arms to shovel soil, which was very different from ordinary shovels.
"This thing works great!"
Leng Xiongfei squatted down and tried it, and his face suddenly showed joy. The extremely hard soil that had been burned by the sun was as soft as tofu under the shovel of the engineer.
Qin Feng glanced around, measured a direction with his footsteps, and said to Leng Xiongfei: "Dig down from here. Remember, the diameter of the hole should be one meter. Otherwise, if there are big objects, I will take them out."
Not coming out."
"Don't worry, Brother Feng!" Leng Xiong flew to the palm of his hand and spat out, then shoveled the soil where Qin Feng pointed.
After taking a look at Leng Xiongfei's actions, Qin Feng shook his head, opened the diesel engine part of the blower, and poured in the small barrel of diesel that he had been carrying in the car.
"What's the matter, Feizi, can't dig anymore?"
After finishing working on the blower, Qin Feng looked at Leng Xiongfei and couldn't help but laugh. It had only been ten minutes, but Leng Xiongfei's arms were already filled with lead, and his movements became extremely slow.
"Brother Feng, this... this thing is quite sharp, but... my arm just can't bear the strength."
Leng Xiongfei took a deep breath and looked at the dug hole that was less than one meter deep. He didn't know whether he was tired or ashamed. His forehead was red all the way to his neck. His hands were still shaking.
It was obvious that he had exerted his strength.
"It's done, you can take a rest."
Qin Feng smiled and took the shovel from Leng Xiongfei's hand, and said: "There is a trick to using this thing, shovel three times at a time, which saves trouble and effort."
While talking, Qin Feng's body had already descended into the hole dug by Leng Xiongfei, and he shoveled the soil at an angle. After sinking all the blades of the shovel into the soil, Qin Feng did not move the soil out.
, and two more shovels were shoveled out around it.
The three shovels were in the shape of a triangle. When Qin Feng released the shovel, a pile of soil fell off automatically. Qin Feng only needed to shovel it out of the ground.
What Qin Feng dug was originally a robbery hole. Although it had been filled in by former tomb robbers, the soil was still loose. As long as he found the trick, digging it was not very laborious.
Within half an hour, Qin Feng's body had completely disappeared under the ground. Leng Xiongfei was stunned as he looked at the accumulation of dirt on the ground and the two-meter deep pit below.
"pass……"
Two hours later, Qin Feng, who was already four meters below the ground, heard a "ding" sound when he reached out for his engineer shovel, which immediately made Qin Feng's face look happy.
Gently pushing aside the soil below and solidifying it behind him, Qin Feng saw a complete green brick in front of his eyes. In order to fear that the previous robbery hole would collapse, Qin Feng changed the direction after three meters. The place where he is digging now should be
The location of the patio of the main tomb.
Holding his breath, Qin Feng used the shovel blade to pry up the green brick.
This is a typical Tang Dynasty tomb with a double-layer brick structure. After four blue bricks were removed, a dark hole emitted a musty smell.
Fortunately, Qin Feng was prepared. He held back his breath and pulled the rope around his waist. Leng Xiongfei, who noticed the movement, immediately pulled Qin Feng up.
Taking a long breath, Qin Feng said to Leng Xiongfei: "The lower part has been opened, give me the oxygen mask, and start the blower..."
"Brother Feng, be careful." Leng Xiongfei handed over the oxygen mask, and then inserted the blower tube into the hole.
Qin Feng took the oxygen mask and did not put it on. Instead, he took the tight elastic leather jacket and put it on, and finally hung the oxygen mask around his neck.
"Brother Feng, be careful."
Li Tianyuan, who was lying on the edge of the field and was bitten in unspeakable pain, turned around and shouted softly. In his inherent thinking concept, the tomb of the dead was always somewhat mysterious and strange.
"It's okay, you two should be careful." Qin Feng waved his hand, slid down, and disappeared at the entrance of the robbery cave in an instant.
When he came to the place where the tomb was opened, Qin Feng put an oxygen mask on his mouth, shoveled out more than ten bricks from the bottom with an engineer shovel, and turned on the strong light on the one-piece hat above his head.
"Huh? Isn't this the main tomb?"
After seeing the situation underneath, Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because he did not see the existence of a coffin in this tomb with some mud on the ground.
Under the high circular patio, in addition to two corpses that had long since rotted into bones, there were also piles of black things, which looked like grains under the light.
"This should be a tomb from the early Tang Dynasty. It actually has double patios. The owner must be a second-rank official or above."
Qin Feng inserted the pipe of the blower and pulled the rope to signal Leng Xiong to start the engine. After more than a minute, a strong wind blew into the tomb, and the air inside was suddenly cleared.
"Damn, that's so cruel. This is just a grain barn, but it's actually equipped with hidden weapons?"
Qin Feng did not rush down, but used a strong light to carefully observe the surrounding brick walls. This sight made him break out in a cold sweat.
The brick walls and tomb passages made of blue bricks are filled with paintings of the sun, moon and stars, as well as various types of saddle horses, camels, ox carts, halberds, mounted guards, officials, male and female waiters, and music and dance actors.
But in a few locations, some green bricks are missing, and the directions they correspond to are the two withered bones that fell on the ground.
After watching for a long time, Qin Feng carefully lowered the rope. Although the tomb was only more than two meters high, Qin Feng was afraid that there would be a flap underground, so he still lowered the rope and stepped on the ground.
"Man perishes for wealth, and birds perish for food!"
Pushing aside the rotten clothes hanging on the two corpses, Qin Feng suddenly saw three black arrows stuck in their chests. The arrow shafts must have been corroded by time.
Apart from these things, there was nothing else on the two of them. Qin Feng knew that this was also the rule of tomb robbers in the past.
As mentioned in the previous article, from ancient times to the present, in addition to official robbers, tomb robber gangs are usually bold poor men in the village, gangsters, second-rate people and the like. There are no fixed rules when digging, and they all just mess around
Go up, pry open the coffin and divide the property equally.
But when digging a large tomb, problems arise. Because the surface of the tomb is heavily sealed, it is impossible to level the tomb and dig out the coffin as usual. At this time, there is only one way, which is to dig a hole and go straight into the tomb.
When digging a robbery hole, everyone must work together to take turns, but only one person can enter the tomb. This person is usually determined by drawing lots, and this person must wear tight clothing and a long rope around his waist to enter the hole to find treasures.
Because this is the only way to eliminate everyone's doubts about him. After this person gets the treasure, he has to throw half of it out before leaving the cave. This is to tell people outside that this trip is fruitful, and everyone must work together to let him out, so that his hands can be divided equally.
The treasure. If the person did not throw away half of the treasure, it meant that the person wanted to take it all for himself. The people waiting outside the cave had the right to seal the entrance to the cave and let the person suffocate inside.
When the person who robbed the cave came out of the cave, he had to take the initiative to open his mouth and raise his tongue to let everyone watch, showing that he had nothing in his mouth. It was this mutual distrust that led to the future tomb robbery gangs to gradually develop into gangs related by family ties. .
"Damn it, you are still not willing to give up even if one of you dies. You are so persistent!"
Qin Feng cursed secretly in his heart. According to his assumption, the rotten clothes on these two people were very similar. They should be two people from a tomb robbery gang, but they all fell here.
"Maybe it's a prince's tomb. It seems that there are at least ten or eight human lives in it!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng became slightly nervous. He knew the specifications of Tang Dynasty tombs very well, and if there were hidden weapons in the tombs, the identity of their owners must be extremely valuable.
During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the tomb system in the northern region mainly centered on the Yellow River Basin since the Northern Wei Dynasty was inherited from the Sui Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the large tombs of noble officials all used slope-type tomb passages, including a long tunnel with a patio at the top and niches on both walls.
The tomb of Yide Taicuozi (son of Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian of the Tang Dynasty) has 7 patios and 8 niches. The tomb of Zhanghuai Taizui (the second son of Wu Zetian) has 4 patios and 6 niches.
According to historical records, the tomb of Uncle Taichang, the official of Si Xing, has three patios and two niches. It can be seen that the number of patios and niches is basically consistent with the official rank of the owner of the tomb.
The tomb where Qin Feng was in not only had other patios, but also learned from the characteristics of the tombs of the Han Dynasty and set up grain granaries for burials. The identity of the owner should be at least a member of the royal family.
Now that he is here, there is no reason to enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed. After carefully observing the tomb for a while, Qin Feng pushed a wall carved with totem monsters.
The wall made a creaking sound and slowly sank in. A tomb passage four to five meters long suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng.
"Flip the board? It's so fucking cruel!"
When the light shone on the tomb passage, Qin Feng's eyes froze again, because in the middle of the tomb passage, a bluestone slab was turned over, but was stuck in the middle by an iron rod, leaving a gap visible to the naked eye.
The flap is also one of the mechanisms in ancient tombs. The craftsmen who built the tombs would dig pits about 3 meters deep in the tomb passage. The length and width depended on the specific conditions of the tomb passage. There were knives of about 10 centimeters distributed under the pit. Cone sharp tool.
The upper level of the pit is covered with several wooden boards. There is a shaft in the middle of the board, and a small object of the same weight is attached below, in the shape of a balance. There is a cover on the board. If a tomb robber steps on the board, one end of the board will sink and the person will fall. Go to the knife cone in the pit.
When Qin Feng walked to the flap and shined a light on the gap, he found that more than one person was buried inside. The dense white bones showed a faint fluorescence under the reflection of the light, and the empty eye circles on his head made Qin Feng feel deep in his heart. It also gave rise to a chill.
"No more fucking iron ropes!" Seeing two kinds of tomb structures one after another, Qin Feng felt that he was really lucky.
You know, although traps are very common in large tombs, due to the age, many traps and hidden weapons will lose their effectiveness due to decay. Qin Feng has never heard of such a high utilization rate from his master.
After cautiously crossing the tomb passage, Qin Feng became more and more cautious, but this time he was lucky. Nothing happened when he opened the door of another tomb.
"Main tomb chamber?"
Looking at the green brick tomb in front of him, which covers an area of about twelve or thirteen square meters, Qin Feng's eyes were a little straightened, and he murmured: "Is it Cao Sikong's blessing that I, Qin Feng, should be rich?"
Although tomb robbing has been around since before the Spring and Autumn Period, it was Cao Cao who promoted it, so Qin Feng could not help but utter a few words, with a look of surprise on his face.
The reason why this is the main tomb is because in the middle of the blue brick tomb, there is a two-meter-long coffin, and it is a stone coffin. Although there are traces of ax and chiseling on it, the stone coffin has not been damaged.
Break open.
"Damn, it's so unprofessional, what a waste of natural resources!" After the surprise, Qin Feng, who saw clearly the situation in the tomb, couldn't help but curse.
Around the tomb, there were three corpses that had turned into withered bones. There were some gold and silver utensils scattered on the ground. What made Qin Feng sad was that he had a broken Tang Sancai camel under his tutelage.
The broken green bricks above the patio indicate that some tomb robbers must have descended into the tomb, and the group was quite large. After three people died in a row, they actually looted everything in the tomb.
But something else might have happened at that time. They fled in panic before they had time to open the sarcophagus. The utensils scattered on the ground are the best proof.
Because generally speaking, tomb robbers who commit crimes in gangs will not leave anything behind that can be taken away.
"Forefathers planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade!" Qin Feng showed a smile on his face as he deduced what happened hundreds of years or even earlier.
Although most of the contents in the tomb have been stolen, all tomb robbers know that the richest burial in a tomb must be inside the coffin.
"They are held together by stone tenons. There are four of them in total!"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qin Feng observed around the sarcophagus. After a moment, a look of understanding appeared on his face, and he inserted the engineering shovel in his hand into the gap on the top of the sarcophagus.
He pushed hard with his right hand, and there was a soft "click" sound. The stone tenon had been broken by Qin Feng. After repeating this several times, Qin Feng pushed hard on the coffin lid with both hands.
"Ka...ka ka..." An unpleasant friction sound sounded, and the coffin lid slowly slid open with the sound.
"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, and our ancestors bless us!"
After the coffin lid was opened, Qin Feng took a few steps back with a solemn expression, took out a candle from the backpack behind him, lit it, and placed it respectfully on the sarcophagus lid.
This is the ancient rule for tomb robbers to open coffins. If the candles are not extinguished, it proves that the ancestor is blessed with good luck and can take out all the things in the coffin.
But if the candle is extinguished by any chance, it means that the trip is not going well, and there are evil and evil souls entrenched in the tomb. The tomb robbers must leave immediately. When he taught Qin Feng his experience in tomb robbing, Zai Ye had warned him a lot.
