"The height here is calculated to match the seal of the Qinling Mausoleum. We dug down nearly 20 meters. Here, the height is about eight meters. With a little error, it can barely be called 30 meters. "Bai Yi said: "When the Qin Mausoleum was sealed off, it was sealed for 30 meters."

Boss Guan said: "That's right. I also checked relevant information before I came here. Qin Shihuang thought of many ways to prevent the tomb from being stolen. Among them is to use the mountain as a mausoleum and seal it with 30 meters of soil."

The so-called seals are actually commonly known as tombs. Tombs before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not have seals. Since the ancients were superstitious about the soul, they had to pray to their ancestors first. It is better to pray directly in front of the tomb than to pray in the temple. The location of the ancestor's tomb is marked by building soil or planting trees on the top of the tomb, but later it became a symbol showing the status of the tomb owner.

For emperor's mausoleums, sealing soil is even more important. It seems that soil sealing is simply piled on top of underground tombs, but the inside is very particular, especially for emperor's tombs, there are generally three ways to seal soil.

The first is to pile up soil as a mausoleum.It is a kind of soil for the early emperor's tomb, called Fangshang, which is to ram the emperor's tomb with layers, making it a square cone with a small top and a big bottom, like an upside-down bucket, because its The upper part has a square flat top and no tip, so it is called "Fang Shang", also known as "Fang Dou".

The second is to use the mountain as the mausoleum, which uses the hills and peaks of the mountain as the tomb of the mausoleum. The emperor's mausoleum in the Tang Dynasty adopted this form from the beginning. The Zhaoling mausoleum where Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was buried chose the Northwest Rites of Chang'an. Jiuyi Mountain, more than 1000 meters above sea level in Quanxian County, was used as a tomb and built by digging the mountain.It is said that this burial method was proposed by Empress Changsun. In fact, it was Li Shimin's own idea in the name of Empress Changsun. She wrote on the inscription for Empress Changsun: "The king regards the world as his home, so why should things be in the mausoleum?" Among them, they belong to themselves, but now because Jiuji Mountain is a mausoleum, there is no gold, jade, men, horses, or utensils, but only earthen and wooden tools.Having said that, in fact Li Shimin was not buried lightly, but very thickly.Using mountains as mausoleums is just to use the majestic momentum of mountains that is difficult to create artificially to reflect the grandeur of the emperor, and it can also achieve the purpose of preventing robbery.

The third type is Baocheng Baoding.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the square shape of the emperor's mausoleum was prevalent, and it continued until the Song Dynasty.However, after the use of mountains as mausoleums in the Tang Dynasty, the emperors were touched by Fangshang and the form of mountain-as-mausoleums, because the sharp edges of square-shaped mounds are easily eroded by windshields and become round and blunt, and the shape of the mountain is difficult to follow. square.Therefore, in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, many imperial mausoleums had a round shape, and the inverted ones were called steamed buns.

Bai Yi's discovery made everyone inexplicably excited. However, the two tomb passages, one on the left and the other on the right, were confused for a while as to where they were going. What kind of institution is relatively safe. As soon as Hai Dongqing came back, everyone decided to go to the left.

Finally, there is no need to bend over, and everyone feels refreshed all of a sudden, especially Xiao Shan. He grew up in the world, and he doesn't like this kind of long robbery hole very much. Just about to run forward, Tang Sancheng grabbed him: "Where is this place, don't run around!"

Xiao Shan pouted, but still listened to Luo Tian's words, and followed Qixie honestly, Bai Yi stood by Tang Sancheng's side, Lei Zi felt that his grandma didn't hurt and his uncle didn't love him anymore, Tang Sancheng and Xiao Shan There were people guarding him, but he was alone. He looked forward and suddenly frowned. The smell from the front made him almost vomit. It would take how many corpses stacked together to emit such a scent. Disgusting smell!

"There is no mechanism here, and it is estimated that it is not an important tomb." Boss Guan said: "It seems that we still came to the wrong place."

As he got closer, Lei Zi could smell the smell, everyone could smell it, a strong smell rushed to everyone's nose, Xiao Shan knelt down and said, "It stinks!"

It's not just smelly, it's a rotten smell. Lei Zi touched the black donkey's hooves in his bag: "Mother, there won't be zongzi, right? This smell is too unusual."

After walking forward for about five or six fares, I saw a series of extremely narrow rectangular vertical pits, arranged very densely, and the distance between each row was only half a meter to one meter. I roughly counted them. , there were more than 100 of them, Xiaoshan grabbed Tang Sancheng's arm: "What are these?"

Tang Sancheng didn't know either, Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "Tombs, as many earth pits are there are as many tombs."

That is to say, there are more than 100 tombs here. When you get closer, you can see that there are thin coffins inside, and there are no burial objects. One or two blue bricks are placed on the coffins. The name of the county prison, and the date of death, etc.

These pits are densely arranged here, which makes people feel creepy, like a beehive, the bees are crowded together, and they will make a buzzing sound. What about these corpses, they are densely packed next to each other and sleep in this deep ground Underneath, there was a strong stench.

With an idea, Bai Yi exchanged a glance with Lei Zi, the two opened one of the thin coffins without saying a word, Lei Zi frowned first, then turned his head to one side: "Damn, this smell is too sweet. Bigger."

There is not even a little bit of skin and flesh in the corpse inside, only the skeleton remains. The wounds caused by stabbing and chopping with instruments are left on the skeleton, mainly concentrated in the spine. Intensive labor.

Bai Yi and Lei Zi turned over the lids of several coffins one after another. The bones inside were all similar. The biggest thing in common was the damage to the spine. As for the damage to other parts, they were slightly different. There were no stars in the coffin. This result disappointed everyone, especially the monkey. He came here for the thousands of treasures in the Qin Mausoleum, but now they are all empty coffins. He couldn't help complaining: " What, isn't the underground full of gold, silver and jade?"

The second boss glared at him, and he immediately said, "I'm just worried for Boss Guan."

This guy looks like a fool at first glance, he will fall wherever the wind blows. Although he is the second boss's man in name, he is flattering Guan Kai all the time.

Boss Guan didn't accept the favor: "What am I in a hurry for?"

The flattery hit the horse's hoof, and the monkey didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

At this time, Lei Zi glanced at Bai Yi: "It seems that there is no suspense."

"Yes, this is the prisoner's tomb, and these people are all prisoners."
