Li Ling has been working as a part-time instructor here every winter and summer vacation since her freshman year.
Not only did I practice my eloquence, but I also got to meet tourists from all over the country and even the world, and expanded my knowledge.
For her, a college student from a backward region in the northwest, it was a boon but no harm.
Over the past three years, we have seen many tourists of all kinds.
People like Lin Yi and others first inquired about the theft of this royal tomb. This was the first time they encountered it.
So she immediately became alert.
Lin Yi saw that she was a little nervous and wanted to tease her.
"We're here to check out the site, and we're going to find an opportunity to do something big. Are you interested in joining the team?"
When Li Ling heard this, she was shocked and covered her mouth with her hand.
Seeing the uncontrollable expression on Bai Lu's face, she realized that she had been teased.
"Oh, I was shocked. Let's just say, why would anyone want to come here? Don't look at it. There are only a few bumpkins left here, but there are surveillance cameras all around, and there are people on duty and patrolling 24 hours a day."
As she spoke, she pointed to the surveillance cameras set up in every corner around her.
Then he seemed to think of something again and immediately added:
"But I heard from people in the security department that in the early 1980s, there were still people who came to try to find the Xixia royal tombs. There seemed to be foreigners. They dug here and there, and in the end they found nothing. Just went back."
Lin Yi and Bai Lu did not find the information mentioned by Li Ling when they were sorting out the information.
"It happened in the 1980s. You weren't even born at that time. How did you know so clearly?"
"My father told me that our family is not from the local area. When my grandfather was young, he responded to the national third-tier construction and came here with the factory, and our family took root here."
After hearing this, the two people suddenly realized.
No wonder she doesn't speak with a Northwest accent.
As early as the 1960s, in response to the call, a large number of hungry third-tier factories were invested in the northwest region.
At that time, the most famous bearing factory in Xingqing Mansion was also a military factory, code-named 103.
This factory is located in the Helan Mountains, and has gathered young and promising people from all over the country to invest in the third-line construction in full swing.
At its peak, this bearing factory had about 30,000 people working here, and the entire ravine was like a large-scale town.
"My ancestral home is from the Northeast. My grandfather worked as a skilled worker in the factory. My father took over my grandfather's work. Later, the factory moved out of the mountains and moved to Xingqing Prefecture. Then it went through restructuring. Oh, I'm going too far. , it’s too far away.”
At first glance, Li Ling has the personality of a girl from the Northeast. She is not as introverted and shy as a girl from the Northwest. Once she starts talking, she can't hold back.
Finding such a part-time job is really a perfect fit.
"These earthbags are inconspicuous even though they look inconspicuous now. According to the research of historians, these earthbags were designed in the shape of pagodas at that time. They had a wooden structure on the outside, and they were basically seven-seven The height of the storey is in line with the Buddhist saying of "seven levels of pagoda".
Because Li Yuanhao, the founder of Xixia at that time, was a Buddhist, looking forward from here, there is a central axis.
According to our traditional architectural regulations for imperial tombs, royal tombs must be built along this central axis.
However, the Western Xia royal tombs were all built along the central axis. The royal tomb in front of them was built on the right rear of the central axis. Because they believed in Buddhism, they left the middle position to the Buddha. They believed that this was the Buddha's throne and they could not overstep it. . "
A colleague passed by, and Li Ling turned the topic back to the commentary.
After his colleagues walked away, he lowered his voice and said to the two of them:
"Although I am here as a commentator, I have long heard that this so-called 'Tailing', which is officially called the Xixia Royal Tomb No. 3, is not Li Yuanhao's tomb at all."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Lin Yi deliberately pretended to be surprised.
"I don't know, just follow me and learn more! There used to be a saying called 'Hao Wang Suspicious Tomb Three Hundred and Six', which means that Li Yuanhao was suspicious by nature, and he found someone to settle the matter before his death. Someone will definitely come to rob his tomb.
Therefore, when he was building the mausoleum during his lifetime, 365 doubt tombs were built. After his death, he was buried in one of them. In the other tombs, the craftsmen who built his mausoleum were buried. .
And it is said that the royal tombs here are arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. Only those who understand the mystery can find the real location of Li Yuanhao's tomb. "
It has to be said that Li Ling really eats with her own eyes. This story made her tell it vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Nowadays, these scenic spot guides have to consider their overall strength. They always read the materials from the script, and no one wants to listen.
Just like Mr. Bing, the local commentator at Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, he is good at telling anecdotes and interspersing them with serious explanations. He attracted countless fans in a short time and became a gold medal commentator at the scenic spot.
That is to say, the Xixia Royal Tombs attraction is not popular enough. Otherwise, it is only a matter of time before Li Ling becomes a famous internet commentator.
Lin Yi and Bai Lu already knew these contents very well. The rumors about Li Yuanhao's tomb were spread as early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and continued to the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations.
It was first said that Li Yuanhao had experts around him who helped him predict that the national destiny of his Xixia Kingdom would not last long and would be destroyed by other countries in the future. He could not escape by digging graves. In order to prevent his imperial mausoleum from being destroyed, Li Yuanhao built many suspicious tombs.
As for whether there are more than 300 seats, no one knows.
Judging from the information available, more than three hundred is definitely an exaggerated number.
The burial system of the Xixia Dynasty was first cremated. Later, during the process of sinicization, the burial system of the Central Plains Dynasty was copied and large-scale luxurious burials were adopted.
Each imperial mausoleum is an independent building group in the shape of a vertical rectangle facing north and south, and its scale is comparable to the Ming Tombs.
Moreover, their tomb passages are all built on the ground.
Under the seven-story tower is their tomb.
Such a large-scale above-ground building, with more than 300 built at one time, who can't see it?
But now there are only nine country bumpkins on the entire Xixia royal tomb site, which means there are only nine royal tombs here. In addition, there are more than 200 tombs of princes and relatives.
It also includes Li Yuanhao's "Tailing" that has been academically recognized.
Lin Yi shook his head and said disapprovingly:
"Tch, this is all fabricated by later generations. How credible is it? It wasn't long after the founding of Xixia, and the family was not rich. Where did they get the capital to build more than 300 royal tombs in one go?
According to this, the Xixia Kingdom had nothing else to do but recruit civilians all day long to build a tomb for Li Yuanhao. "
"Hey, why don't you believe me? I heard my grandfather tell me that when they were building the third-line factory, they blew a hole in Helan Mountain."
At this point, Li Ling knew she had made a mistake, so she quickly waved her hand and changed the subject.
"Why am I telling you this? Let's go, keep moving forward, there is something good to see ahead." (End of Chapter)
