This business is done during the day. Do it at night, the safest time during the day is around noon.
There was no road before the car reached the place, so the group could only get out of the car and walk forward.
The place in front of you was called Hu Shiyan in ancient times. According to legend, a long time ago there was a huge stone on the mountain in the shape of a tiger.
Modern locals call this place Xiaohuang Mountain, which belongs to the remnants of the Yuling Mountains. Due to the relatively high altitude, we climbed halfway up the mountain at around 10 o'clock in the morning, and there was a diffuse fog around us.
The literature revealed that there was an ancient tomb hidden here, but I didn’t feel confident until I found it.
Because that era was very special, the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Five Husbands Rebellion began at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, and then entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
This was a time of social unrest, frequent wars, and the emergence of bandits in an endless stream. The main function of many large tombs during this period was not luxury, but "anti-theft", so the tombs of the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were difficult to find and were few in number.
The most famous case is the tomb of Emperor Jin on Fugui Mountain in Nanjing. The tomb was located between two ravines. The tomb was built first and then the entire ravine was filled in. The tomb was hiding at the bottom like a turtle.
The basic characteristics of Jin tombs are: "deep burial, covered by mountains, no seals and trees, no monuments and no halls."
Unsealed means that the soil is not sealed, and there is basically no performance on the ground.
But another characteristic of Jin Tombs is that the emperor took the lead at that time and everyone in the country believed in Feng Shui. After these people died, they tried to find good Feng Shui places to bury them. The genius who wrote the burial scriptures was the person at this time.
There used to be a saying in the industry, "If you don't understand Feng Shui, don't look for Jin Tomb."
The full text of the Burial Sutra is less than 20,000 words. I could recite it backwards when I was eighteen years old, and I naturally understand many issues that I didn’t understand at the time.
"Yunfeng, give you a candy."
I opened my mouth, and Xiaoxuan stuffed a wine candy into my mouth.
Dou Yazai was carrying a backpack and climbing high to look into the distance. His expression was very solemn.
Brother Yu asked him: "Yazi, what are you looking at?"
"I'm looking for gas."
"Then what clues did you see?"
Dou Sprout frowned. He looked at the mountainside in the distance and said, "I can't see it yet."
Xiaoxuan said: "If you don't have the ability, just stop pretending. It's really like sticking a green onion in a pig's nose and pretending to be an elephant. You still have to count on Yunfeng."
Douyazai curled his lips and said in a sinister manner: "Yeah, yeah... you look like that, you still have to look at Yunfeng, Yunfeng... I like you so much."
"you wanna die!"
Xiaoxuan kicked him, and Douyazai was already on guard and dodged away.
"Stop making trouble and give me the telescope."
I stood on a rock, held up the telescope and turned it 360 degrees and looked around carefully.
There are stacks of layers in the middle, with gaps on the left and right.
The front is wide and the back is folded, and the anger is not dispersed.
Dragons and tigers embrace the guards, and host and guest greet each other.
The four directions are flat, with ridges standing in the middle.
There are many mountains and obstacles, and there are thousands of burials.
These paragraphs are from the original text of the Burial Sutra. Based on the thinking of the ancients, I found out that there are about three places suitable for burying people on the mountains in this area. I thought about it and pointed out three specific places respectively, and asked Yuge Douyazai Xiaoxuan to bring them. Use a shovel to retrieve the soil. You don't need to dig too deep, more than two meters is enough.
More than an hour later, the three of them came back with soil samples.
I used a lighter to burn the soil in these three places to smell the smell, and then licked some of each to taste.
"Brother Yu, did you hit any rocks when you were digging the hole?"
"No, it's all yellow clay."
"Let's go and see that place."
When I went to the place where Brother Yu took the soil, I saw that the terrain was flat, but there was a big pit not far away. The pit was full of water and it was a smelly pool.
I looked at the surrounding environment for a while and noticed another problem.
There are a lot of weeds in this area, and there are large tracts of them. Although they are all barren in winter, you can still tell that in summer there should be green pine trees here.
Compared with grass, the trees within a radius of tens of meters are not growing well. Compared with other places in the mountain, the trees here are much shorter and their branches and leaves are not lush.
While Xiaoxuan was looking at people, I took the Luoyang shovel and dug another three meters down to where Brother Yu had taken the soil.
When they reached about five meters underground, a strange "dark red substance" in the shape of fine sand suddenly appeared in the soil brought up by Luoyang's shovel.
I instantly became excited. Damn it, I hit the target.
I know very well that this fine sand-like red substance is not cinnabar, but a "poisonous dye". At that time, people would add this dye to water and pour it on top of the ancient tomb to prevent the roots of big trees from growing into the tomb. destroy.
This also explains why the weeds in this area grow well, but the big trees do not, because the grass roots are shallow and the tree roots are deep! Only tree roots can touch this red soil in the deep soil.
Experts call this red poison soil from the Jin Dynasty something like red. That word is so rare that I can’t pronounce it or spell it. Anyway, it’s called red poisonous soil in the Northern School.
Similar soil is found on some Xixia tombs. It is rammed soil with sulfur powder added, so the Xixia Imperial Tombs Scenic Area in Yinchuan is still barren to this day.
This soil is poisonous, but it's mainly for plants. As long as people don't eat it in big mouths, it won't kill anyone. After subsequent exploration, we found that the area of this Jin tomb was about thirty square meters, which was considered very large at the time. It seemed that it had not been stolen before and it was a new pot. It is hard to say whether the tomb owner was the prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, but it was definitely Not ordinary people.
After marking the location, we drove back.
....
Late this night.
It was quiet in the mountains, and some strange animal noises could be heard. The entire ancient tomb was surrounded by mist, and several flashlights were flashing in the air, making it look very eerie.
The flashlight was naturally ours. At this time, the hole had been drilled to a depth of more than six meters. Brother Yu and Bean Sprout were digging underneath. I used a rope to lift up the soil and dump it aside.
Nowadays, we have rich experience. We can usually dig holes directly above the main tomb chamber and break open the top of the tomb to get things. In this way, we can avoid the tomb passage door outside the tomb. The Northern School focuses on professionalism, efficiency and speed. , accurate.
After digging for another half an hour, Dou Sprouts suddenly shouted from inside the pit: "Fuck! It's over! It seems like the roof has collapsed!"
I immediately went down, and my face changed when I saw the situation.
After countless calculations, I didn't expect this situation. Most of the bricks on the tomb roof that were supposed to be smooth and flat or arched collapsed at this moment! This means that the main tomb underneath was probably filled with water and mud, and all the funerary objects were buried inside!
If you continue to dig now, there are only two situations.
One is that people crawled down to touch things in the mud, and the other is that they accidentally caused a secondary landslide and buried people alive.
Dou Sprouts came up and patted the dirt on his body, and said with a troubled expression: "We are in big trouble! There may have been earthquakes in this mountain before, how can we deal with them now?"
I thought about it and said, "How about this? You go down and I'll tie a rope around your waist. If something feels wrong, just give a signal and Brother Yu and I will pull you up right away."
"What?!"
After hearing this, Douyazai stared and said: "Fengzi, I am a human being, not a loach. I can fucking dive, but not the mud!"
The rest of us looked helplessly at the leader. I thought to myself that this trip was probably in vain.
With his head and brows furrowed, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the smelly pool not far away.
