At the same time, I also asked Xiao braid about the rain outside.
The little pigtail said that the rain was still falling and it didn’t seem like it was going to stop, but the water pumped out was more than the water poured in, so there was no need to worry about the tomb being flooded. He told us to go to the tomb of the imperial concubine without any worries.
When Jianzui learned that we were going in, he also shouted that he should not keep the treasure if he found it. He especially told Zhao Hu. Obviously, this was directed at Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu scolded Jianzui a few times, saying that Jianzui was the kind of person who knew how to embezzle.
By the way, a few meters after Zhao Hu and I followed Uncle Su into the secret passage, a stone door appeared. The stone door was not big, only about one and a half meters high and only one meter wide.
This stone door is opened, and there is a top door stone and a nail key behind the stone door.
Apparently, the previous group of tomb robbers used the nail key to open the stone door, and when they fled in a hurry, they left the nail key here but did not take it with them.
After walking through the stone gate, there is a tomb passage behind, which is diagonally downward.
The entire tomb passage is made of stones, and it feels very solid when you step on it.
Of course, being strong does not mean being very solid, because this kind of tomb passage made of stones feels very depressing. It feels like the tomb passage we encountered in the Prince's Tomb before.
After walking down for nearly a hundred meters, the front suddenly opened up, and a trapezoidal tomb passage appeared. The further away from us, the wider and higher the tomb passage became. I took a quick look and saw that the widest part was at least three meters close. Four meters, and the height is even more outrageous, at least fifteen meters.
There are also very exquisite murals painted on the walls on both sides of the tomb passage. On the left is a blue dragon and on the right is a white tiger. When it reaches the widest and highest point in front, the bottom suddenly shrinks sharply, turning into a wall more than two meters wide and only three or four meters high. The corridors on the left and right.
There is a stone door between the tomb passage and the corridor. The stone door on the right has been blasted with a hole, probably left by the previous group of people. The three of us went directly through the hole and entered the corridor.
This corridor is also very long, it seems to be at least dozens of meters, and it also leads diagonally downward.
There are many niches on both sides of the corridor, and there is a sidewalk and patio every few meters. The patio is about ten meters high, and there is a pavilion on it. However, this pavilion is fake, it is carved with patterns, and it can also be said to be a pavilion. The shaped dome looks weird.
Uncle Su obviously noticed something strange here. He looked up at the patio: "Generally speaking, in tombs in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the patios lead directly to the surface. Pavilions and other structures will be built outside, and there are also built-in It’s hidden, but it basically uses a circular dome, which represents the round sky and the square place. Why is there a fake pavilion carved on it?”
Zhao Hu said that this tomb was originally a tomb belonging to an evil sect and should not be treated as normal.
Uncle Su said so.
Then, we continued walking forward and discovered some differences.
First of all, in the niches next to the corridor, there are many funerary objects, including pottery figurines, gold objects, jade objects, bronze objects, etc. They are rich in variety and well made. I can just pick a few of them and take them out. Make a fortune, no worse than the treasure we saw in the prince's tomb.
However, at the back of the niche, after shining a light into it, I found that there is a cavity inside, and the cavity is relatively large, like a small closed ear chamber. Uncle Su said that this kind of niche has an ear chamber behind it. , it was also the first time he saw it.
"There won't be anything in here, right?" Zhao Hu looked inside with a flashlight, and then muttered: "It's dark inside. There seems to be no cultural relics or anything else."
I said you have to take out the treasures in the alcove, then get in and take a look. Only after you get in do you know what's inside.
Zhao Hu was a little scared, saying that the black hole looked scary.
To be honest, this kind of fear from the unknown does make people a little scared, but since we have come to this evil tomb, we must be careful. I think we need to rule it out first to see if there is any danger inside. , otherwise it will be a big loss if something happens due to negligence later.
I said I would go take a look.
Then I squatted in a niche and took out the cultural relics inside one by one.
Zhao Hu also picked up a few smaller and more portable cultural relics, saying that he would pack a few first so as not to run out empty-handed in the event of an unexpected situation, which would be in vain.
Uncle Su reminded him: "I think you'd better not take it now. If you take it now, the owner of the tomb may react immediately. We'd better go in first and take a look. At worst, we can take it when we get out."
Although Zhao Hu was a little reluctant, he still complied.
By the way, I took out the cultural relics in the niche and went straight in. When I was done, I used my headlamp and flashlight to look around. Although it looked like a closed ear chamber, there were many small holes in the surrounding walls. .
The diameter of the holes looks about the same as a coin, and they are densely packed. When you shine a flashlight into them, the holes seem to be very deep.
After telling the two people about the situation, Uncle Su hurriedly dragged me out and told me that there might be hidden weapons or poisonous arrows in the small holes, so be careful of being shot.
As soon as I thought about whether it was possible, I immediately came out.
Zhao Hu asked at this time: "If there was a hidden weapon in there, why didn't he shoot it out when he touched the cultural relics?"
I said it might be malfunctioning and not easy to use, or it might be that we haven't really cared about the cultural relics yet, so the owner of the tomb doesn't want to hurt us yet, or it might be that it's not a hidden weapon at all, but something else.
"Then why don't you find a wire or something to stick it in?" Zhao Hu asked.
I actually had this idea too, but Uncle Su said to take a look at the main tomb first.
Then, we continued walking along the corridor until we reached the front tomb chamber.
At the same time, we were shocked again. There were thirteen patios in total from the front end of the corridor to the front tomb.
You know, according to the tomb system specifications of the Tang Dynasty, the patio represents a person's status. The higher the status, the more patios there are.
Generally, four patios are already of high status. For example, the tomb of Prince Zhang Huai, Li Xian, only has four patios. Xue Shao, the consort of Princess Taiping, the youngest daughter of Wu Zetian, also has four patios, and some tombs of Emperors of the Tang Dynasty have only four patios. There are not so many patios.
How high is the identity of this tomb owner?
There are actually thirteen patios?
This is obviously outrageous.
Uncle Su probably didn't quite believe it, or was afraid that he had made a mistake in counting, so he returned to the front of the corridor and counted it again. When he came to us, he looked up at the last patio and sighed: "This patio is There are too many. Who is the owner of this tomb? Which noble concubine has the right to build such a high-standard tomb?"
Because I am not very involved in the tomb robbing industry, most of the knowledge I know is from our family’s book, so I can’t help Uncle Su answer this question at this time. I just have a lot of curiosity in my heart, and I am thinking about it. Hurry in and take a look.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Then the three of us walked into the crypt.
The space of the front tomb chamber is very large, and it feels as if it is comparable to the space of the Song Dynasty tomb on the third floor. There are many pottery people, pottery horses and pottery camels in this tomb chamber, and the ratio is basically one to one.
The pottery horse and pottery camel are okay, they have noses and eyes, and are lifelike. However, the pottery man's face has no facial features, but the rest of the body is very delicately shaped.
For example, the clothes, accessories, hairbands, etc. on the body are very clear. Only the face is smooth, and there is a feeling that there is no time to rush to work, so the face is smoothed casually.
In addition to these pottery products, what attracts me most are the murals on the surrounding walls. There are many characters on the murals, and each character seems to have a story. For example, some are chasing and playing, and some are by the well. Fetching water, and some chasing people with knives, it seems like these murals are showing us various scenes from that year.
