Seeing Wei Fengjiao and others starting to inspect the burial pit, I glanced at Qin Yujie and others.
He also motioned to check around to see if he could find anything, and Liu Che also began to patrol around.
Seeing that Wei Fengjiao and others were still examining the bones buried with them in the burial pit, I also walked to the edge of another burial pit to take a look.
In the burial pit in front of me, most of them were animal bones, which had completely turned into white bones.
There were still some broken bones in the burial pit, which had completely turned into bone powder.
The space of this burial pit is a hundred meters in size. As far as you can see, it is all filled with bones.
If you are a timid person, you may be frightened to death if you see this scene.
I took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, feeling a little depressed.
This number of burial pits, with human and animal bones piled inside, was also a shock to me.
"Damn it, are these the craftsmen who built this place?"
Liu Che also walked up to me, looked at the bones in the burial pit, and cursed angrily.
"It's so cruel. Burying animals with them is disgusting enough, but the owner of the tomb actually uses human beings to sacrifice them."
I turned my head and glanced at Liu Che, took another puff of cigarette, exhaled and continued: "This is the burial of thousands of people."
"I'm afraid there are at least a thousand bones in these piles, and they are densely packed on a layer."
"However, even if this is a geomantic treasure, if so many people are buried with it, it will become a dangerous place."
Liu Che gave me a dull look and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
"Team Leader Feng, give me a cigarette."
After waiting for a few seconds, Liu Che asked me for a cigarette dryly. I waved my hand and gave him one.
At this time, Liu Che lit his cigarette and said to me in a hoarse voice: "I heard about something when I was in the National Security Bureau."
"A few years ago, the state cracked down heavily on the issue of tomb robbing, and it has always been very tight."
"However, there was a group of very powerful tomb robbers at that time. They were excavating an ancient tomb."
"I encountered this kind of burial with many people. Later I heard that it was a prince's tomb, and the standards were quite high."
"But the number of people buried in that prince's tomb is simply not on the same level as here."
"Even in that prince's tomb, the total number of people buried there is not even one-tenth of the number here."
"But these pairs of bone armor are all living lives. Is human life so worthless?"
"These things were only reported after they were caught."
I didn't answer. I kept listening to Liu Che's words and also weighing the ancient tombs he mentioned and comparing them with the tombs in front of me.
I took a few deep puffs, threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, and looked at the burial pit in front of me.
He said to Liu Che: "The fate of the craftsmen who built tombs in ancient times was generally not that good."
“When the construction of a mausoleum is about to be completed, the owner of the tomb often kills these craftsmen.”
"And they were buried together in the tomb they built to prevent them from leaking the information about the tomb."
"What the tomb owner fears most is that others know the location of his tomb. How could he let these craftsmen go out?"
"However, not all of them will be killed in the tomb. Those who can escape from here are all experienced craftsmen."
"When these old craftsmen were building the imperial tombs, they would often leave a retreat for themselves to facilitate their escape."
"Some people even stayed dormant for several years after escaping. After the owner of the tomb was buried, they returned the same way and looted all the treasures inside."
"Look at the fabrics left on the skeleton. It was not just the craftsmen who were killed, but also the soldiers guarding this place."
"Those wearing soft cloth must be the craftsmen who were buried with him."
Liu Che glanced at the four tombs and saw that there were many bones that had not been covered with soft cloth.
I stretched out my finger and pointed at the bones in the second grave. Although the bones had turned into white bones, there were still clothes left on them.
However, the shape is completely lost, there are only some rags, and tattered armor decorations are still mixed in.
But when he pointed at it, he suddenly found a skeleton wrapped in iron armor under a pile of bones.
He was obviously dressed differently from the craftsmen who wore cotton fabrics, and he also wore a scabbard at his waist.
Liu Che took a few steps forward and said in surprise: "It's true! Look, there's a pile over there too."
"They are all wearing iron armor. These should be guards, but they were also killed here by the owner of the tomb."
At this time, Wei Fengjiao and others were still checking, and I saw Professor Wang.
Two of his students, one of whom was wearing gloves, were trying to pull the top skeleton over.
But he didn't expect that the threads on the armor were broken, and the whole armor fell to pieces.
I remember his name. I heard Professor Wang call him Sun Liang. He was a tall young man about 1.8 meters tall.
Sun Liang shook his head helplessly when he saw that he did not pull out the corpse but scattered it all over the ground.
He tried to find a way to pull out another complete skeleton, but the one he chose seemed to be a female one.
Sure enough, I heard Sun Liang shouting not far away: "There are also women's clothes. Look at that black dress."
"It's clearly a 'wrapped skirt' worn by women in the palace during the Warring States Period. Why are there women here?"
Sun Liang's words immediately caught my attention, but they also made me have some doubts.
It's really weird to see. If it was a craftsman, then maybe I wouldn't be so surprised.
But now I saw soldiers wearing iron armor and palace maids wearing wraparound skirts.
There are also so many craftsmen buried with them, which together make it a bit confusing.
"Could it be the female cook?
Liu Che stood next to me and asked carefully. I immediately shook my head: "Impossible."
"I'm afraid there are hundreds, or even more, of the funeral attendants wearing such clothes."
"Besides, this type of clothing could not be worn by female cooks in ancient times."
"But if it is a concubine in the palace, it is even more impossible. How can any concubine be buried here?"
"If it is a palace maid, it is possible. These people seem to have been poisoned to death."
"The bones are somewhat blackened. If they were killed or died normally, the bones would not be completely black."
"When I was walking around just now, I discovered that there were some holes in the walls around the burial pit."
"It's very possible that he was poisoned to death. The thousands of bones here are similar to those in Sun Liang's hand."
Liu Che looked at the skeleton in Sun Liang's hand and whispered: "It's really possible. Look, the bones are completely black."
Liu Che pointed at the bones that had been dug out by Sun Liang. As expected, they were pitch black and the bones could not be seen at all.
"Whose tomb is it? Buried with so many people?"
I said something seemingly unintentionally, and looked at Lei Zi, Lone Lang and others, and saw that they were also squatting in front of another burial pit.
