We started planning our next actions in the car. After planning, we divided the work and called if we had any questions.
The truck squeaked. We drove into the village and found a conspicuous place with many people. Lao Li and I unloaded the TV, refrigerator, etc. and placed them in a conspicuous place. Liu Xin and Fourth Brother distributed flyers to the villagers. Lao Li and I got on our bicycles with a small speaker on the bike and started wandering around the village.
The village is not big, so we can complete the tour in a short time. When we came back, Liu Xin and Fourth Brother were surrounded by villagers who were asking various questions. Fourth Brother yelled at the top of his voice, "Register first. Only after registration is completed can we ship the goods. Hey, that master is an LCD TV. I can't stand your searching like that." Lao Li went in and replaced Liu Xin.
In the afternoon, we connected a wire from a fellow villager's house, and four LCD TVs formed a matrix to play blockbusters. Surrounded by villagers. It's almost done. We and Lao Li took the guys. Quietly leave the crowd. Head to target No. 1, which is the No. 1 hill we marked. The mountain is not high, so I climbed to the top in a while. I said, "The Feng Shui looks pretty good on the map, but in fact it looks just average. Let's get started." I was responsible for looking out, holding a telescope and watching the surroundings vigilantly for fear that someone would discover our traces. . It took an hour to punch dozens of eyes, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Lao Li and I saw that the sky was almost dark, so we went down the mountain and returned to the village. We rented a private house in the village. The landlord was very enthusiastic. During dinner in the evening, he asked us if we could give him a back door and a cheap TV that wouldn't be too big. The key is to be cheap.
The fourth brother patted his chest and assured that it was no problem! People in rural areas go to bed relatively early, and there are no entertainment activities in the village except playing mahjong. At this time, it is not a festival. There are few young people in the village, and there are no people in the mahjong room. There are only a few aunties dancing happily in the square.
Liu Xin and I went out to target No. 2. This is really a desperate attempt to reach the mountain. The farmland, which was not that big on the map, is not only huge now, but Liu Xin and I can't find it yet. Fortunately, this piece of land is a rectangular structure, and each kind of crops is different. Finally, it was not easy to find it.
I took out the Luoyang shovel from my pocket, and something came out of the first hole. Wuhua soil came out about 3 meters underground. I then drilled 16 holes, and I almost determined the location of the cemetery. After backfilling the holes, I took photos and marked them on the drawing, and then immediately returned to my residence. After analyzing the photos, I determined the relative positions of the tomb chamber, tomb passages and ear chambers. This is a typical A-shaped curtain. And based on the on-site analysis, there should be no seniors who had taken action.
The next morning, Liu Xin and I continued to sell door-to-door, while Lao Li and the fourth brother went to pick up home appliances and sort out the tools for going to the tomb.
We agreed to take action tonight and retreat at dawn. After discharging the appliances, run away immediately.
Through door-to-door sales by Liu Xin and I, we interacted with the villagers. We roughly conclude that the most likely gravekeepers in this village are a group of people surnamed Li in the village.
Liu Xin secretly photographed the general appearance of this group of people on her mobile phone. Then leave it to the fourth brother to remember it carefully. During the release, the key point is to keep an eye on this group of people.
When it got dark the next day, we headed towards the target point in batches. Lao Li chose to dig a hole in the vegetable field next to it and go down diagonally. The ground near the target was too empty, and it was almost bald to work on it. The lice are so obvious.
As the moon continued to rise, by the time we arrived, Lao Li had already beaten down one section after another. The dirt we dug out, the farmer's soil, we spread in the ditch, and after a while we secretly drained the water and flushed it away. Put the rammed earth in a woven bag and put it into a truck on a small four-wheeler tomorrow morning to find a place to throw it away.
After digging downwards for half an hour at the location of the tomb, Lao Li got the right idea. He came up and panted and said, "Oh no, something happened."
I suddenly became nervous and asked him quickly what was wrong. Something big happened.
Lao Li said, "I saw the wrong picture. This is the location of the tomb door. I just hit the tomb door."
When I heard it, I thought it didn't matter. We don’t have many woven bags to hold soil anymore. The door to the tomb is the door to the tomb, just open it.
After Lao Li and I went down, an exquisite tomb door appeared in front of us. It was built in an antique style. The front door of the tomb was filled with sealing bricks. After confirming that removing the sealing bricks would not affect the structure and cause collapse, Lao Li removed all the sealing bricks and set them aside. Next is the tomb door engraved with cranes and flying dragons.
But no matter what we did, we couldn't open the door to the tomb. As time passed by, I felt like I couldn't bear it anymore. Lao Li took a sledgehammer and looked at me seriously. I wrapped the chisel in a quilt to prevent it from making too much noise. Lao Li is indeed a professional at swinging a sledgehammer. After two hammer blows, there was already a crack in the tomb door. After a few more hammer blows, the left half of the tomb door was broken. I poked my head in and just saw the sealing stone at the back. If this thing didn't break the door, it would have been broken by two bears. Don't open this door. Opening the tomb door and entering the corridor, the walls on both sides are carved with exquisite murals, but they are all about ascending to heaven and becoming immortals, receiving worship, and the endless reproduction of descendants. Lao Li looked around and motioned for me to move on. We cautiously walked forward along the corridor, which was not long, and quickly walked over. Then there is the next tomb gate. It can't be pushed either. I had no choice but to continue smashing. After breaking it open, I looked at the tomb door and said, "What a shame. Such a beautiful tomb door can be sold for a good price."
Lao Li didn't even look at it and said, "Don't worry about it. It's nothing to regret. These things are just like this. Your door will be valuable in 5,000 years. You don't cherish it now, so why should you ask for it in 5,000 years?" Cherished by strangers”
"Then I don't like people knocking on my door." I said regretfully while stroking the tomb door.
"Look!" Lao Li did not answer my words but reminded me to look forward. I looked forward with a flashlight, "It's so beautiful!" I exclaimed. What appeared in my sight was a stone gate like the gate of an ancient royal palace, with more than a dozen smaller stone figurines and horse figurines on both sides. At first glance, it looks majestic and noble!
Looking at this exquisite tomb door, Lao Li and I fell into deep thought. Where can we enter this tomb door? It seemed to be a whole piece when viewed as a whole, and for a moment I had no idea what to do.
"Look for them separately" Lao Li asked my opinion. I nodded and started looking around for any oversights. Lao Li took a chisel and knocked on the stone door bit by bit.
After a while, Lao Li asked like me. I shook my head and found nothing missing. Should we stop here?
"Is there nothing you can do?" I asked Lao Li. Lao Li scratched his head, pointed at the stone door and said, "It looks like this is a door, but it's actually a lie. I just took a look. After the stone door is closed, only the top hole is allowed for future generations to enter. There are two strips blocking it." stone. Where to go in? Not only is the stone heavy and difficult to remove, but even after entering, we can't get anything out of the hole. I originally wanted to just smash it open, but the structural designer of this tomb door is really bad. You see Above our heads, from the entire tomb door to the end of the corridor, there is a stone. If we force it open, we are afraid that the place will collapse instantly. We will be buried alive! Get smashed to death!
Fumbling at the wall. He and I both said one word in an instant, kite turned over! Hahaha, we looked at each other and smiled, then we dug a hole in the wall next to the tomb door and went around.
Lao Li and I started doing the soil work again. After spending more than an hour on the phone, the U-shaped tunnel was finally opened.
"Fortunately, this tomb is not far from the ground. Otherwise, I would have told you about the oxygen content here two mornings ago." Entering the tomb, the scene inside was not only the first time for me to see it, but also the first time for Lao Li to see it. There were three coffins neatly arranged according to their categories. "What kind of burial system is this? I've never seen it before."
I have no clue. "This is the first time I have seen three coffins arranged like this without prioritization."
"Forget it, we are not engaged in research. After taking the treasure, hurry up and find someone. We will make a fortune and let others do the promotion."
We opened all the coffin lids, because it was very difficult to open the coffin lid because it was so old. The best way was naturally to use a crowbar and a sledgehammer, and it took a while to get it open. After opening it, I will never forget the scene inside. There are three corpses. One has no head and has a gold head instead. I don’t know if it is pure gold. The other has only half a head, which is neatly tilted. Cutting it open revealed that the other half was half a jade head. The last corpse only had the upper body, and the lower body was half a body carved from wood.
"This is too evil." I looked like Lao Li, "Take it back first." Lao Li had already started to take action.
I really can't do it, it's so disgusting. I looked around the tomb. There were many weapons displayed around it. The long weapons and gun shafts had long since rotted away. Only the heads of iron spears, gourds, iron spears and the like were still there. I took out all the weapons that looked good. I put it into my backpack and threw a few items that were not in good condition aside. After all, my bag is only that big.
Lao Li cut off half of the jade head of the corpse and put it in the bag, and also put the gold head in the bag. The corpse was left. We originally wanted to peel off the armor from the corpse, but this thing really wouldn't take off, and we couldn't do it after a long time.
Seeing that there were only a few hours left, I looked at Lao Li and shook his head. Lao Li could only give up. We packed up and took away the sword, jade, and other burial objects in the coffin.
At this time, there was a dark thing in the coffin of Jintou's body that attracted my attention. What was that? Lao Li also shook his head. I picked it up gently and took a look. It turned out to be a bundle of bamboo slips. Lao Li took out the plastic wrap and wrapped it before putting it in my backpack. By this time, not only were our backpacks full, but we were also holding two swords in our hands. Let's go, I look at Lao Li!
Lao Li also looked at the tomb and sighed, "I really want to move them all away."
We retraced our steps and reached the ground. The robbery hole was sealed. Quickly return to the village and hide the items in the cardboard boxes containing household appliances. After putting home appliances away the next day, I drove all the way back to the base area.
I originally thought that this would be the case, and it would be nothing. Who knew that a month later, my fourth brother and I saw the news on TV. Villagers in a certain village discovered a cave in their farmland, and then accidentally discovered a mysterious stolen cave. Then a villager angrily said that his ancestor was a military general from the Zhao Dynasty! Only their family knew where the ancestral tomb had been for so many years, and it must have been stolen by the villagers because it was stolen.
The other, an official from the provincial archaeological team, also accused the tomb robbers of being inhumane and unscrupulous. Not only did they rob the tomb, but they also caused serious damage to the ancient tomb, and then he cursed.
"We are also an archaeological team. A civilian archaeological team is not an archaeological team?"
