Is there a baby hidden in the stone statue's belly?
"its not right."
"Why is there something wrong with the sound? This is clearly carved out of a single piece of stone. How did that thing get hidden in? It's really weird."
I looked carefully from front to back, left and right, and when I knelt down and looked up, I finally discovered something fishy.
I saw that there was a hole in a very secret place under the stone statue's butt | buttocks. It might have been plugged with wood before, but it took too long and the original wood became weathered and rotten.
The hole is not big, about three fingers wide, about the size of an egg.
I put my fingers in and clicked twice, and suddenly I felt something cold and hard.
I adjusted the angle back and forth several times before taking the thing out.
This is a bronze square box, with the upper and lower lids perfectly fitted together, and a large number of lotus patterns engraved on the surface. Due to the high tin content, the overall color is whitish, and a thin layer of green rust has grown on the surface.
I opened it carefully and saw a square cinnabar wooden plaque.
After thousands of years, the remaining cinnabar on the wooden sign is still as red as chicken blood, and the two rows of knife-engraved words are clearly visible.
I frowned and tried to read silently twice, but found that I couldn't read it smoothly.
"There are Bi characters, Qian characters, various traditional Chinese characters for weighting numbers, etc."
After watching it for a while, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind.
No wonder it’s hard to read! It turns out that this is a letter from the King of Hell engraved on a wooden sign! There is a saying in this book that it is for "ghosts" and cannot be read by living people, so the writing order is all messed up.
I did some research and found that the correct pronunciation of these lines should be like this.
"I spent enough money, ninety-six thousand eight hundred and fifty-one, to buy an entire hectare of Yongye field from farmer Hu Wang, and used it to collect the bones of the three thousand three hundred and three people killed in the border battle. On the 65th day of Xianqing's reign, After four years of building the tomb and building the tomb, I specially left this record to inform the King of Hell, it’s over.”
In the past, "Bizu" meant completion.
A lot of useful information has been revealed right now.
First of all, the age of this tomb is the Xianqing period of the late Tang Dynasty, or 654 AD to be precise, which is almost the same as what I had inferred before.
Not only that one ancient tomb, there are definitely a group of large-scale tombs that have not yet been discovered in the Yinchuan Nuanquan area.
From a geographical point of view, that area was not far from the living area of Xianbei and Turks. There should have been a war between the two sides, and thousands of people died. Afterwards, a certain official obtained some money from a local farmer named Hu Wang. Li bought this land and used it to build tombs and collect the bones of the war dead.
This centralized burial method is like the "Leoze Garden" in the Song Dynasty. The difference is that the people buried in the "Leoze Garden" are all ordinary people, and the people buried in this centralized burial are all soldiers, so it will definitely produce weapons. Armor, bows, tokens, that kind of stuff.
Taking the tomb dug by Ye Luzi's foursome as the basic center point and radiating to the surroundings, how big was the area of this tomb group back then?
Because it was clearly stated in the document that a hectare of land had been purchased, I dipped my hands in spit and wrote and drew on the ground, and it was quickly figured out.
We use hectares in modern times, and one hectare is approximately equal to 100 acres, or 10,000 square meters.
The "hectare" used in ancient times is equal to approximately 50 acres, which is 60 square feet. When converted into meters, it is more than 680 meters.
In other words, the area of the ancient tombs in Nuanquan is about 700 meters, which is not a small area.
The next morning I carried my bag and came to the crime scene in Nuanquan again.
Thinking of the thrilling scene last night, I couldn't help but sigh that Li Fei was so cruel. He killed those people just like he killed a few pigs. Even if I was given a gun at that time, I couldn't do what he did. I still can't Killed someone.
Xia Feng came out and looked at the endless desolate scene around me. I walked to the Robber's Cave.
The location here is remote, with very few people and cars passing by. You can reach the desert just a few dozen miles north.
Seeing the people around me, I picked up the Luoyang shovel and dug around with the Robber's Cave as the center.
I don’t have to go down to see the tomb that the Yeluzi quartet went to to know that it must be clean. They took everything. Their Luoyang shovel is far inferior to my Luoyang shovel in terms of feel, weight, and sharpness, but it can be used to make ends meet.
I dug nine eight-meter-deep holes in the surrounding area in one go. Starting from the seventh hole, something started to appear.
