An hour later, Zhao Hu went to light the dog oil lamp again and made sure it would stay on after putting it down. He came back and told us that we could go down.
Before going down, we moved a lot of tools from Sister Yuan’s car.
There are T-shaped centipede ladders, dog oil lamps, various ropes, windlass frames, etc.
Anyway, when I saw that the back of the car was full of tomb robbing tools, I was shocked that this guy had so many things.
Of course, after I got deeper into this industry, I realized that there are actually many tools used by tomb robbers, far more than just these.
In addition to practical tools for work, there are also tools to ward off evil spirits and beasts to ensure safety, etc.
Moreover, some more advanced tomb robbers will even prepare some materials in advance to protect and rescue the cultural relics in order not to destroy the cultural relics and retain the maximum value of the cultural relics.
For example, trimethyl resin thin liquid, reinforcing agent, preservative, etc.
In short, the doorway in this industry is very deep.
It’s easy for you to get started, but if you want to learn well, you need time and experience to accumulate.
The guys in Jianzui were obviously not professional tomb robbers. They were dumbfounded when they saw so many tools. They kept asking questions, but Sister Yuan was too lazy to explain to them.
Zhao Hu also gave Sister Yuan a thumbs up and said that Sister Yuan was indeed a professional in these things and had many more tools than what was behind his car. Sister Yuan said that was for sure.
As for who would go to the tomb, we quickly discussed it.
Xiaoye couldn't go down. Although she was the leader of their side, she didn't seem to be very interested in the specific matters of tomb robbing.
Jianzui was in a hurry and shouted to go down, but Guozixian and their two other brothers who were digging holes said they couldn't go down anymore.
As for our side, Zhao Hu and I went down together, while Sister Xiao Zhuiyuan and Brother Xiao Ma stayed on top.
Sister Yuan and Brother Xiaoma are on top because they are only responsible for selling points and logistical support, and they don't care about the tomb.
The pigtail is because of Xiaoye, and he wants to have more contact with Xiaoye.
The three of us walked to the top of the vault and set up the centipede ladder to go down. I was excited and nervous at the same time. After all, this was my first time going down to the tomb.
About two or three meters down, I smelled an unpleasant smell.
This smell seems to be the corpse smell written in ancient books. It is not very strong, but the whole person feels very depressed and suffocating.
Due to the relatively large size of this tomb, the depth from the top of the tomb to the floor of the tomb chamber is almost four to five meters.
Although there are centipede ladders and soft ropes leading to the ground, there is no place to grab or hold on. When you go down, you will be swaying around and it will be difficult to maintain your balance.
Luckily for Zhao Hu, he was experienced and agile, and he got down in three strokes, five by five, and two. It took me a long time to get down, and the sharp mouth kept urging me to complain about it.
Maybe he was in a hurry, but Zhao Hu even scolded him a few times, so he didn't dare to say anything.
When I came down just now, I only looked at my feet and didn't pay attention to the tomb. When I came down and looked around with the help of my headlamp, I couldn't help but be shocked.
The space of this tomb is indeed very large, with a height of four to five meters, a length of more than ten meters and a width of about seven or eight meters respectively. The total area is estimated to be more than 100 square meters. The overall area is a long strip running from east to west, and we are going to The location of the hole is almost in the middle.
After Jianzui came down, he couldn't wait to look around for the treasure. I immediately grabbed him and told him to be careful because there were traps in the tomb and not to run around. Jianzui thought I was afraid that he would snatch the treasure, so he glanced at me and then went about his own business. After he left, Zhao Hu asked me not to talk to him, even if he died.
Afterwards, the three of us searched around inside.
The strange thing is that this tomb is empty, there is nothing.
That is to say, there are some decorative ancient buildings on the walls on both sides, such as door carvings, window carvings, etc. As for the ear chamber, the chariot and horse room, or even the coffin, etc., we did not see it. The two tomb passages at the east and west ends, although there are no tomb doors. Although they are separated, the tomb passage is also empty, there is no fart.
I couldn't help but wonder, couldn't this be a tomb of mystery?
A tomb of suspicion is a false tomb set up to confuse people. This can be regarded as a way to prevent theft.
In ancient times, Cao Cao's tomb was the most famous. It is said that there are seventy-two tombs.
If this is a fake tomb, our efforts today will be in vain. We still hope to get rich by touching some treasures and slap my sister-in-law in the face, but it must not be a fake tomb.
"Jianjun, why is there nothing here? Don't you understand this? Look where the treasure is hidden? What mechanism is there?" Zhao Hu said impatiently at this time.
To be honest, I was a little confused. After all, it was my first time to go to the tomb, so my brain reaction was half a beat slower.
I tried to calm myself down and said, "This could be a tomb."
Zhao Hu asked me: "A suspicious tomb? Are you sure it is a suspicious tomb?"
I say not necessarily, it may be a tomb within a tomb.
"A tomb within a tomb? What is a tomb within a tomb?" Jianzui asked me at this time.
"The real tomb is hidden under the fake tomb." I pointed to my feet, meaning that the real main tomb might be hidden under the floor.
Jian Zui lowered his head and stamped his feet: "No way."
I said I'd better check it out. After all, I've come here, so it would be a pity to leave like this.
Then I squatted down and looked at the floors carefully. These floors were all made of blue bricks, and the seams between the bricks were plastered with plaster. They seemed to be quite solid.
I used a steel drill to find a few places to dig down. After piercing the floor, I continued to drill down. If a living soil layer such as rammed earth can be created below, there is still hope.
After hitting the first few places, we soon reached the dead soil layer, which is the natural soil layer. This shows that there are no traces of human disturbance below, and it is impossible to hide the tomb.
In the end, when we were all about to give up, we finally hit a spot near the west corner, and sand actually appeared after we hit it.
I said with some excitement: "There is probably a thick layer of sand below, and there may be a real tomb hidden under the sand layer."
The reason why I concluded this is because the book "Chen's Feng Shui Collection Ancient Records" records many methods of ancient people to prevent tomb robbery. Among them is a kind of sand and stone tomb, which is filled with sand and stones on or around the top of the main tomb chamber. , to prevent tomb robbers from digging.
This kind of sand layer is usually very thick. After digging, the nearby sand will flow continuously, and it is easy to bury the tomb robber alive. Moreover, there are some dark stones hidden in the sand layer. Most of these dark stones have sharp edges. It will flow with the sand and easily injure people.
We found a layer of sand at this time, indicating that there should be a sandstone tomb underneath, and the real tomb may be underneath.
I told my guess, and Zhao Hu laughed and scolded: "This builder is really too cunning. He actually created these messy things to confuse us. Fortunately, you discovered the trick."
I can't blame them, after all, no one wants their own or their family's graves to be dug up.
