the last priest

The woman in this mural is really similar to that woman, and it can be seen that she was still very important to the owner of the tomb during her lifetime. ┌ | ┐

The tomb is mainly filled with pottery. Chaozi carefully picked up a few pieces, looked at the shape and workmanship, and preliminarily deduced that this is a large tomb of the Han Dynasty.Judging from the specifications, this size is at least a local leader.

Cha Wenbin really doesn't know much about the history of this village. It is said that his family's ancestors also migrated from other places. Just like our village, at that time, the aborigines in the entire Northwest Zhejiang were basically destroyed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. This can be regarded as A history is broken.

With an area of ​​four or five square meters, it was all seen at a glance, and I really didn't find anything special, such as a coffin.Then these eight achievements are in the burial room. As for whether it belongs to the owner of the tomb, we have to continue to search.

There is a brick door on the left side of the tomb chamber. It is made of big blue bricks and quicklime that is unique to the Han Dynasty. The outline of the door can be seen. Cha Wenbin pointed to it and said, "Open here, let's go and have a look."

Hengroulian and Chaozi quickly opened a hole for people to enter.The air inside is very stuffy. Most of this kind of tomb is a closed structure, and people don't stay there for a long time. Professional archaeologists work with blowers to deliver fresh air from the outside.

Going in from here is a long corridor, and there is a gate on the opposite side.According to Chaozi's judgment, this is also a burial room. Cha Wenbin has no interest in archaeology, let alone a local rat, so he is going to find the owner of the tomb with all his heart.

At the end of the long corridor are two large wooden doors, painted red and black, with colorful lines painted on them with red paint. Chaozi said they were abstract dragons.This typical painting process of the Han Dynasty has not been restored until now. In terms of archaeological value, this curtain is probably quite rich.

Chaozi took a flashlight to shine on the wonderful lacquer painting on the gate and said: "Brother Wenbin, it is estimated that the main tomb is behind the gate. According to the burial method of the Han Dynasty, this should be a brick tomb. Basically, it is from the ground down first. Dig a vertical pit, and then open a hole horizontally at the bottom of the vertical pit, and then use bricks to build a tomb chamber in this horizontal hole, then put the coffin in it, and fill the pit soil again. Some brick chamber tombs have sloped tomb passages, The one we see now should be the one. Judging by the specifications, at least a local official, otherwise a Han tomb of this level cannot be built. After we go out, I have to report the situation here to the institute. It is a major archaeological discovery, anyway, you are a consultant hired by the institute, so we can justify it even if we do it."

Because Han tombs are often buried deep in the ground, it is very difficult to find them, and they may be scattered somewhere underground in the countryside.The national power of the Han Dynasty was very strong, and the tombs were carefully buried. Often the funeral objects of dignitaries, nobles, princes, and generals were piled up like mountains, so they have always been the most coveted target of local rats.

Some local mice only look forward to digging out a Han tomb all their lives, because the one that goes up is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.They just dug it out, and the guys inside are basically bronze sacrificial vessels, and the tonnage of that thing is too big to get up. Even if you get a bronze tripod, you dare not take it home.why?Because as long as it has something to do with bronze, it is basically a national treasure. Ordinary businessmen dare not accept this thing, because it is too popular, and it is basically decapitated in that era.

Therefore, they love Han tombs, and the bottles and jars are easy to get and sell.If that boy Erhu knows that there is such a treasure in his village, I don’t know how big his eyes will be, just take out two of the things in this house, and replace it with a Santana. I guess there will be no problem at all.

At that time, the tomb had a strong sense of anti-theft. Since there were many things in it, the tomb should also be anti-theft.It is also because of the style of thick burials that later in the Eastern Han Dynasty when the Three Kingdoms came together, Cao Cao set up Mojin Xiaowei and Faqiu Zhonglang General to rob tombs to obtain military funds.

At least for the time being, they are still safe. Chaozi tried to push the gate, but he didn’t move at all. Then he called Shang Hengroulian and Zhuo Xiong. The combined force of the three men was at least several hundred kilograms. The gate only moved back slightly, waiting for them Several people took a breath, and immediately closed it again.

The fleshy face rolled up his sleeves and tried again, but was stopped by Chaozi: "Don't bother, it's probably filled with natural stones, unless you blow up this door with explosives, you won't even be able to get out of here." Here."

The mechanism of the natural stone is as follows: first, the upper and lower ends of the door shafts of the tomb doors that match it are made into spherical shapes, and a protrusion is chiseled in the middle of the two tomb doors.At the place where the ground inside the tomb door is opposite to the central axis of the tomb door, a shallow groove near the door and deep at the other end is cut out. The width of the stone groove is the same as that of the natural stone.Before closing the door of the tomb, put the natural stone in the stone groove, and make one end touch the door of the tomb.When the craftsmen who retreated outside the tomb door closed the tomb door, the natural stone slowly fell down with the help of its own weight and the strength of the stone balls at both ends of the door shaft, until the top was in contact with the groove left on the tomb door. The mouths were docked, and finally the tomb door was closed tightly.That's how the huge natural stone is magically automatically pushed into the tomb door.

Zha Wenbin also knows some anti-theft techniques, and he also knows about this kind of mechanism. It cannot be opened without manpower. Besides, this place is still an ancient tomb, and it will be difficult to explain it in the future, so he turned his attention to Another tomb was opened: the unopened one, which Chaozi speculated was the funerary room.

"Open that one first to have a look, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid there won't be enough air in it. If it doesn't work, I'll notify the office tomorrow. The time is a bit late, but we can figure it out." Cha Wenbin touched his chin and said.

Chaozi touched the brick door, measured the distance, and asked, "By the way, brother Wenbin, why did you come here to dig a grave? It seems that you are not interested in these underground things, otherwise With your feng shui ability, you will probably get rich early if you become a local mouse."

Cha Wenbin turned to look at the mural of the girl and said: "The two people buried here have been buried for at least a thousand years, but they have never been reincarnated. According to the girl, the owner of the tomb can't even get out of this cemetery." .Unfortunately, I buried my little girl here. I always dreamed that she was imprisoned in the abyss of hell. I came here last night to summon the soul, but found that she was imprisoned by some kind of force. If According to the girl, I want to see if there is any connection between the two."

After he finished speaking, the woman in the painting walked out of the wall and stood in front of them, and said, "Thank you brother for always thinking about it. If you can help my master to reincarnate as soon as possible, I will be reborn as a cow and a horse." Come pay back."

"Brother Wen Bin, it's her, what we saw is her!" Chaozi said, pointing to the weak woman whose feet hadn't landed on the ground.

Cha Wenbin gave up on Chaozi and said, "Since you showed up, can you tell me what you know?"

"My master was the governor of Nai Nai during his lifetime. He was deeply loved by the local people because of his literary and military talents. There is an old lady in the family. The greatest wish in his life is to see what the palace looks like, but he is too old to afford the car." The boat was exhausted. The master thought of a way and built a miniature version of the palace in this remote place. When the old lady was on her [-]th birthday, the master brought her here and told him that the palace was just like this, and returned it. The old mother has a wish."

The woman began to feel sad when she said this, "Later, this was reported to the emperor by his mortal enemy in the court, who accused him of plotting to rebel on the grounds that he built the palace privately. In a rage, the emperor sent someone to kill my master. But after some research, I found out that he was using the excuse of returning the old lady's wish, so he announced it to the world and praised him as a filial son. But the master had already lost his head and died without a whole body, so the emperor gave him a golden head Give it to him, and I will enter the earth with him.”

"Golden head? The son is really generous that day." Chaozi was no longer afraid of her now, and said with a strange smile.

Zhuo Xiong said disapprovingly: "What kind of generosity is it? It's just a trick of those in power. In ancient times, filial piety was the first priority, and the emperor just made an advertisement with the matter of the governor."

"Brother Zhuo is right." Cha Wenbin said, "However, after you say it this way, I know the reason why he can't reincarnate. The body is separated and the soul is not gathered. What about you? Are you going to hide here for a lifetime?"

The woman choked up and said: "As long as the master can reincarnate, I will let him go, but the door said that you can't open it, and even I can't go through it. There seems to be something very powerful inside. I can hear it from time to time. The wailing of the master inside can only be better when I take some tribute from outside to worship, so..."
