Chapter 34 The Dumb Emperor
The fat man told us that in the legend of the mute emperor, the masters gave magic that "you should not open your eyes" and would die if you open your eyes. We have already experienced this on the murals. At this time, it seems that it can correspond to the legend. Then the construction of this king's tomb should be accompanied by masters, and the legend of the mute emperor may not be groundless. The legend also mentioned the magic of "paper man becomes a soldier", and we must be careful.
However, according to legend, these paper men and horses are all blind, so they cannot defeat real soldiers and generals.
I said, "If there were really paper people, it would have been burned long ago. Even if it wasn't burned, the paper would be the most unbearable for many years and would definitely turn into greasy powder. The pottery people used in the tomb passage outside should be made of golden nanmu."
The fat man said: "Your grandpa's legendary eyes, you never thought it was the eyes painted on the mural. This paper may be painted on the mural, and there may be something else. Are you menopause? You don't listen to anything we say."
I thought about it and felt that the fat man was right to remind me. And I really haven't listened to people's advice recently, and I don't know how my mood has changed.
The tomb behind this door must have been filled with mud. There were people's hair mixed in the mud, and there might be a corpse leaning against the back of the door.
The Nanhai King has limited financial resources, and the tomb is not awkward to repair this king's tomb. Judging from the location of the burial pit and what is inside, there is a front room of up to six or seven meters after the tomb door is opened. There should be ear chambers on both sides of the tomb. At the end of the tomb corridor is the tomb stone, and behind is the main tomb chamber. There should be two side rooms and a back room around the main tomb chamber, which is much smaller than I estimate. Although this is a region where Han cultures are integrated, the custom of witch corpses in Minyue is still the mainstream culture here. It is not uncommon for burial to live and various evil gods to be buried in the burial style.
I have two guesses. One is that mud is poured into the tomb. It is very likely that it was caused by the destruction of the sarcophagus when Uncle San stole the sarcophagus. If there are many corpses buried with him in the tomb, it is very likely that the mud poured into the door, so the door may not be a corpse, but a lot.
The tomb door is still sealed, which means that Uncle San’s entrance is different from us. Although we don’t say it verbally, we are currently trapped in this ancient tomb, surrounded by rocks, and there are several layers of thick mud on the rocks. Where did Uncle San’s entrance come from, maybe it can be used as an exit for our lives.
Uncle San’s preference has always been to directly dig holes into the back room, which are generally enlarged and precious. For a long time, large underwear, with high collection value, reached a price that is unattainable to small ones. I remember that for nearly 15 years, ordinary buckets - not from the royal family and the big family - things in the back room, especially bronze ware with inscriptions, were worth more than the burial objects in the main coffin.
Of course, this is about the whole. There is also a big reason for this. In the past, old tomb robbers often only robbed the main coffin, so the main coffin is usually very seriously damaged. In addition, if it is a well-preserved big fight, it is obvious that it is a "yellow intestine" and it is a serious crime to take out one of the things in the main coffin. It is a business and a lot of people are caught by circulating. I remember that Sichuan caught a street back then, and each was basically sentenced to more than two years, and it was just handled.
Thinking of this, I had an idea. I thought of the burial pit just now. This burial pit is sealed. Where did the silt come from?
Is there a thief hole here that directly hits the burial pit from the back room, and brings the mud from the main tomb into the burial pit?
Then Uncle San must have destroyed the exterior wall structure of the main tomb chamber, and the mud will be poured down. I can't think of how Uncle San did it back then.
The fat man continued to draw pictures on the ground, and I saw him draw the section. The fat man said: "We came down from the mudflat. When the ancient tomb was built, it was not the mudflat, but the stone mountain. There must be an underground river connecting the stone mountain to the inland, and the underground river enters the sea here. Now the water level is high and the sea water flows backwards, and this underground river must be refilled with sea water and sea mud. To dig a hole from the underground river to the tomb of the King of South China Sea, it is necessary-"
"Dig the Qizi Well." I said, this is a huge project. It is to dig a well horizontally above the underground river water level and then vertically. This also explains why the King's Tomb was not completely flooded. This Qizi Well must have been drilled relatively high. When the water level is highest, it may have just barely passed the Qizi Well, and there was not much silt pouring into the well. In addition, the drainage system of this ancient tomb seems very complicated, so it is still relatively dry.
I touched the back of my neck. When the three of us were walking in the mountains of Fujian, we had a very interesting idea. I could vaguely feel a huge underground water network under the hills in the southern Fujian area. If there was really an underground river here, then my guess would be correct. What is the center of this water network?
"What do you think?" The fat man asked me when he saw me thinking. I was about to speak, but suddenly the oil bottle covered my mouth and pulled me to the side. I calmed down and looked at where I was standing just now. I saw something stabbed from the other side in the gap in the tomb door, almost piercing my butt. I thought it was also a probe, but after a closer look, I found that it was two sharp long nails.
