I heard Professor Chen say that what was discovered this time was a large multi-chamber brick tomb. I naturally thought that the ancient tomb was a house built underground with blue bricks. But now, walking to the trench

When I looked up, I saw seven huge stone doors lined up underneath.

The stone gate is made of bricks and stones. The archaeological team dug out an aisle more than three meters wide outside the gate. Wooden boards and stones were used to build up and down steps on both sides.

The group of people came to the edge of the steps. Professor Chen said to those behind him: "After we go down, we will turn on the satellite locator. You must draw a road map of the spiritual palace based on our route for subsequent excavation.

Work......"

Listening to Professor Chen's explanation to those people, I couldn't help but poke the fat man with my elbow, "Hey, look at people, satellite positioning systems are used, when are you guys going to update your equipment?"

"Qiu'er." The fat man looked at the group of people with disdain, "That kind of thing is useless when it comes to really powerful places. What we want is experience and wisdom. Those instruments are just psychological comfort at most. It's rainy in the south.

, there must be a lot of water down there, hum, the road will be difficult to walk by then, let me see how he plays with the instruments. You are a descendant of a family of tomb robbers, don't imitate them."

The fat man was obviously not interested in those high-tech things. After the two of them murmured for a while, the men who were pulling the ropes came to the side again. Only then did I notice that they were pulling a large screen.

The raincloth was covered with soil before, but now, judging from their actions, it seems that they are planning to cover it with the cloth after we get down.

"Hey, if this thing is covered, what if there is no ventilation underneath?" I couldn't help but ask loudly.

Yang Lang on the side explained to me that there are many carvings on the seven stone doors at the bottom. If they are exposed to the outside, they may be damaged if it rains. Therefore, before the official excavation begins, they must be covered with something.

As for the ventilation problem, Yang Lang told me not to worry. They have done tests down there before, and there is a certain amount of ventilation in the tomb. Moreover, there are many patios in this multi-chamber brick tomb, and you can’t tell which one is the best.

Connect with the outside world.

Professor Chen looked at his watch and then said to the fat man: "Mr. Cao, we can start."

The fat man nodded, and then walked down the steps first. The archaeological team members behind him immediately shouted, some cheered, and some wished us a safe journey. In this atmosphere, I was also very excited.

Damn, tomb robbers work secretly. This time I not only went in with the official people, but also had people beating drums to cheer me up. Just thinking about it made me feel complacent.

After walking down a distance of more than 20 meters, we came to the front of the seven doors. Different from the last time in Gulin, this time, I felt the humidity and heat rushing towards me. Before I entered,

Several people started to sweat.

As the fat man said, there seems to be water accumulation here. There are many small puddles just at the door. If it is one or two o'clock in the afternoon, this place must be similar to a sauna.

However, the group was quickly attracted by the brick carvings on the door. When I took a closer look, I found that all the murals here were carved on bricks, and all used negative lines. I couldn't help but wonder, and asked

Professor Chen: "These carvings are very complicated. Professor, why are the bricks above not cracked at all?"

Professor Chen said: "This kind of brick carving is different from stone carving. It is carved on the bricks when they are still mud embryos, and then the mud embryos are taken into the brick kiln to bake. After the mud embryos turn into bricks, they are carved piece by piece. The process of assembling the original pattern is very complicated."

After hearing this, I couldn't help but say: "Why do you have to make it so troublesome? Can't you just find a stone and mix it in?"

"What do you know?" Zhuge Xuan's voice suddenly came from behind. Looking back, she was holding a camera in her hand, and behind her were still the two guards.

As soon as I saw this woman, I felt uncomfortable, and the little spirit of study I had just managed to gain suddenly disappeared. But I can't express my depression now, after all, this little girl caught me and the fat man. The ponytail.

So I smiled bitterly, pretended to be very interested and said to Zhuge Xuan: "I would like to hear some high-level opinions."

Hey, who knew that this girl would do this? She immediately laughed at me and said, "Let me tell you, in fact, whether it is brick carving or brick tomb, although the process is a bit more complicated, compared to other types of Tomb, this is already very frugal..."

Before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people in the Central Plains believed in "treating death as life", that is to say, what kind of life a person (usually a male surname) lived when he was alive would continue after his death. .So, those emperors and generals at that time all tried their best to find a good place for themselves and build a large spiritual palace. When they died, they would take a large part of their belongings to the tomb so that they could Continue to enjoy in the underworld.

By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this practice of spectacular burials had become even more outrageous.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were two ways for people to become officials. One was to promote filial piety and integrity, and the other was to promote talents. Therefore, whether a person is filial or not is not just a matter of character. And the most important manifestation of filial piety is Funerals for parents. Since then, in order to become officials, people at that time began to hold big funerals crazily, bankrupt their families, and countless people sold their land to organize funerals for their parents. Therefore, most of the people in the Eastern Han Dynasty All property was buried in tombs, which was also an important reason for the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The first person to really change this wrong practice was Cao Cao. The simple burials in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were also initiated by Cao Cao, Cao Pi and others. Therefore, the tomb projects at that time were not too big and were convenient for transportation. Bricks, which are widely available everywhere, began to gradually emerge and were widely used in tombs. Brick carvings also flourished at that time.

Seeing that I was listening intently, Zhuge Xuan patted my shoulder and said, "From now on, if you don't understand anything, just ask me." After giving me a "teachable" smile, she walked aside. , and continued to take pictures.

At this time, Yang Lang had already hung a fluorescent light in a door in front of us, and then shouted at the top: "We are ready!"

After he finished shouting, the people above began to close the rain cover bit by bit.

As if my eyes suddenly went blind, the surroundings immediately fell into darkness. It took three or four seconds for me to feel the light of the fluorescent lamp in front of me. Then, the people around me turned on their flashlights one after another, and concentrated on hanging up. I walked in front of the door with fluorescent lights and prepared to enter the ancient tomb.

Before departure, Professor Chen said to everyone: "The situation inside may be very complicated. Before you do anything, you must ask Mr. Cao and I first."

The others had no objections, only Zhuge Xuan snorted. The fat man ignored her and began to arrange the order for everyone to enter the ancient tomb. This time, the fat man was the leader. Of course, he walked in the front. Professor Chen and I walked closely.

Followed by Peanut, Zhuge Xuan, Zhang Yadong, Zhang Yaxi and Yang Lang behind them.

But after the fat man finished making arrangements, someone in the team suddenly raised his hand and said, "Report, report."

Seeing Peanut standing on tiptoes and raising his hands like a student, I almost burst into laughter.

The fat man said: "Hua...Chen Zixiang, what's your problem?"

Peanut's acting skills are definitely at the level of a movie actor. At this time, he looked around nervously and said, "I, I'm a little scared, can you let me go behind?"

"Hmph." Zhang Yadong suddenly sneered, "If you are afraid, don't follow me."

"That's right, a coward." Zhang Yaxi echoed.

Fatty and I can understand Peanut's intention. Fatty is standing in the front. Not to mention his ability, even his fat body is enough. Coupled with Professor Chen's experience, there is no one in the front row of the team.

The problem is. If Peanut is behind us, then at least Fatty and I will be most at ease.

"Don't laugh." The fat man yelled at the two brothers, and then said seriously: "Okay, then you will go last. Since you are timid, I will specially appoint my right-hand assistant, Miss Yuan, to calm you down."

"Miss Yuan?" The fat man's words made the people next to him confused. He didn't explain. After speaking, he was the first to walk inside with the miner's lamp.

Everyone followed immediately. Peanut and I stopped first and reached the end of the line.

However, just as everyone was walking in, I suddenly saw Yang Lang stopped in place. His eyes kept scanning the rest of us, and he frowned, as if there was something that made him very confused.

.

"What's wrong with you?" I couldn't help but ask.

Yang Lang didn't react for a moment, and then gave me a stiff smile. "Uh, no, it's nothing." After saying that, he lowered his head and walked forward.

I saw that he looked a little flustered, so I couldn't help but look at everyone else, but I didn't find anything wrong.
Chapter completed!
