Chapter 016 The Death Knell of the Empire
Hu Bin used me to threaten Zhao Zhen, which I expected. After all, he went to great lengths to get me into his team, and his ultimate goal was naturally for his so-called "business."
Now it seems that he has more than one purpose for this trip. The notebook in Zhao Zhen's hand is also something he is determined to obtain. Obtaining the notebook may be more conducive to completing this "business" for him.
But I still doubt Hu Bin’s purpose of coercing Zhao Zhen into this trip.
After all, leaving me alone to find Qin Ling was probably not a stupid mistake that a character like Hu Bin would make.
About half an hour later, everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Hu Bin looked back at Zhao Zhen and said, "Boy, you should know what to do?"
When Zhao Zhen heard Hu Bin speak, he was stunned for a moment and then replied: "I know what to do, I don't need you to remind me."
After speaking, Zhao Zhen took a step forward, looked at the scene in front of him, thought for a moment and said, "This is it. Order your men to dig here."
After Hu Bin glanced at Zhao Zhen, he said to his men: "Just listen to him and start digging here."
The men looked at Hu Bin and did not dare to resist. They took out their equipment and started digging in the small area designated by Zhao Zhen.
About an hour later, the small area had been dug to a depth of about ten meters, but no clues were found.
Hu Bin looked back at Zhao Zhen suspiciously, then looked back at the deep hole and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Zhao Zhen didn't look at Hu Bin, but still replied: "I didn't lie to you, and I remembered it correctly. Just do as I said, and I will definitely let you find what you want."
After saying this, Zhao Zhen stopped talking.
Hu Bin glanced at Zhao Zhen angrily and said nothing, but told his men to move faster.
As expected, he continued digging for more than ten minutes and finally found something like a stone tablet. Hu Bin slowly walked into the stone tablet and turned on the special miner's lamp in his hand to shine on it.
Looking at Hu Bin, he slowly showed a satisfied smile, turned around and said loudly to his men: "We found it, we found what we dreamed of. This is the entrance to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, we finally found it. Our wealth, all
They are all hidden under this stone monument, let us open this stone monument and have our own wealth."
After saying that, Hu Bin ordered his men to open the stone tablet. The men stepped forward and tied the exposed corners of the stone tablet with ropes, dividing them into four ropes. Everyone grabbed the other end of the rope and pulled hard together, and the stone tablet fell apart.
He was easily pulled up by them.
But at this moment, an accident happened. As the stone tablet fell, a black smoke rose up.
Because it was night, and miner's lamps were not allowed to be turned on outside, I thought it was black at the time. The few people closest to the black mist immediately covered their faces with their hands, rolling on the ground in pain, and whimpering from their mouths.
the sound of.
Just as Hu Bin wanted to step forward to see the condition of his men, Zhang Liqun pulled him back and said: "Don't get close, they are infected with 'miasma'."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liqun said to the people behind him: "Don't breathe, everyone, and quickly leave the spread range of the black mist. Be careful of getting caught by the 'miasma'."
After saying that, Zhang Liqun pulled Hu Bin and quickly took dozens of steps back, leaving the range of the 'miasma'. Zhao Zhen also saw the rapid spread of the 'miasma', and quickly took a few steps back. Wait.
After the 'miasma' guarding the entrance to the tomb gradually spread, everyone slowly walked forward.
Hu Bin looked at the four men in front and saw that their skin had completely festered away, and no part of their bodies that had been touched by the 'miasma' could reach their eyes.
Hu Bin turned his head and stopped looking. Zhang Liqun ordered the remaining men to bury the three dead men on the spot, and told them not to touch the three dead men. For the remaining men, look at me and I will.
You didn't even say a word "no" with a glance. Several people quickly tied a rope to the body on the ground, pulled it aside, dug a hole with a shovel, and buried it.
Hu Bin walked to the edge of the pit and used a miner's lamp to shine inside, and found that there was a step leading down.
Hu Bin turned back to Zhao Zhen and said: "Boy, you are very smart. You just killed three of my men silently. I was going to kill you. But now I give you a chance to live. You
Lead the way. I'm telling you, don't play tricks on me again, or your life will really be in danger."
After saying that, Hu Bin pushed Zhao Zhen with his hand. Zhao Zhen turned around and glanced at Hu Bin, but still didn't say anything. He jumped down into the pit, turned on the miner's lamp and walked inside. After Hu Bin saw Zhao Zhen go down, he jumped too.
After getting down, he turned on the miner's lamp and looked inside. He found that only Zhao Zhen was leading the way, so he waved to Zhang Liqun and others to come down together.
I watched them jump down one by one. I was worried that I might alert someone, so I didn't rush down. At this time, I was waiting not far away, thinking to myself: "This Zhao Zhen is quite talented. There are many dangers in Feng Shui in this place.
But it also has hidden vitality, and it is a wonderful place that can be a place between life and death. It is unlikely that a place like this can be used as an imperial mausoleum, especially the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang."
All dynasties have questioned the location of the Qin Mausoleum. Is the tomb of Qin Shihuang, the "Eternal Emperor", located under the mound of earth? How deep is the burial chamber? What is the structural size of the underground palace? Has the tomb collapsed and flooded? There have always been various doubts
Speculations continue. In 246 BC, Qin Shihuang began to build an imperial mausoleum at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong District, Shaanxi Province today, which can be said to be the largest, most peculiar structure and richest in connotation in the world. Over the next 2,000 years, surrounding
This magical tomb has also triggered more and more mysteries and conjectures.
In the early years, the National Ministry of Science and Technology's "863" project "Archaeological Remote Sensing and Geophysical Comprehensive Detection Technology" disclosed some of the many questions about Qin Shihuang's tomb. Among them, it was mentioned that measurements detected obvious artifacts caused by the backfilling of rammed earth after excavation of the underground palace.
Gravity anomalies and elastic wave method reflection anomalies, obvious magnetic anomalies caused by fine rammed earth walls corresponding to the sealing mounds in the excavation range, high resistivity anomalies caused by the tomb chambers, mercury anomalies within the excavation range, gravity anomalies and diffraction caused by the palace walls
Point anomalies. These anomalies, together with known tomb passages, etc., outline the outline of a huge underground building complex.
However, there is currently no timetable for when and whether Qin Shihuang's mausoleum will be opened. Because after excavation, technically speaking, there is no guarantee that these cultural relics can be protected.
In particular, the protection of cultural relics such as murals, pottery, paper, silk, and silk is still a difficult problem. In addition, opening the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is inconsistent with the "protection-oriented" archaeological excavation policy.
Naturally, many of Yuling's ancestors participated in the research and protection of Qinling, and there is also a lot of information left on Yuling. From these information, it can be found that, at least in their eyes, the real location of Qinhuang's Mausoleum should be that it has been developed into a tourist attraction.
The place.
According to historical records, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was not built by Qin II, but by Qin Shihuang himself. Qin Shihuang
Qin Shihuang, an eternal emperor, began to build the cemetery the year after he took the throne after he unified China. It was completed in 208 BC, which lasted 36 years. You must know that Qin Shihuang only reigned for 37 years, and he spent almost all his time
To build a mausoleum and use 800,000 manpower to build a tomb for himself after death, Qin Shihuang must have great ambitions. He not only wanted to be the overlord on the ground, but also the overlord underground.
Such a massive construction project also caused him to sound the death knell of the empire.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is divided into two parts: the cemetery area and the burial area. The cemetery covers an area of nearly 8 square kilometers, with two layers of exterior and inner buildings. The enclosure is square and conical. The original height of the enclosure of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum is about 115 meters, and the base of the mausoleum is approximately square in shape.
It is like an overturned bucket. The top is flat and the waist is slightly stepped. The existing mausoleum is 76 meters high, 345 meters long from east to west, and 350 meters wide from north to south. It covers an area of 120,750 square meters and a large number of ground building remains and funerary objects. The center of the mausoleum palace is where Qin Shihuang is placed.
As for the coffins, there are more than 400 burial pits and tombs around the mausoleum, covering a wide area of 56.25 square kilometers. The main burial pits include the copper chariot pit, the horse pit, the pit of rare birds and animals, the stable pit and the pit of terracotta warriors and horses, etc. There have been 5 pits over the years.
More than 10,000 important historical relics were unearthed.
Since 1974, three pits of terracotta warriors and horses have been discovered 1.5 kilometers east of the cemetery. The finished products are arranged in a zigzag shape, with a total area of more than 20,000 square meters. 8,000 pottery figurines, hundreds of chariots, tens of thousands of physical weapons and other cultural relics have been unearthed;
Among them, Pit No. 1 is the "Right Army", which contains pottery figurines as big as real horses, and about 6,000 pieces of pottery horses; Pit No. 2 is the "Left Army", which contains pottery figurines, more than 1,300 pieces of pottery horses, and chariots.
89 vehicles, which is a mixed formation of infantry, cavalry, and chariots. It is also the essence of the Qin Terracotta Warriors Pit. Pit No. 3 has 68 warrior figurines, 1 chariot, and 4 pottery horses.
The headquarters that commands the underground army. This military formation is the epitome of the Qin army's organization.
In 1980, two large bronze chariots and horses were unearthed on the west side of the cemetery. This caused shock and attention all over the world. These pottery figurines and horses were organized according to the military formations at that time. They were the military organization, combat methods, and infantry equipment of the Qin Dynasty.
The research provides vivid physical information. This group of two large painted bronze chariots and horses - Gaocha and Anche, are the largest, most gorgeously decorated, most lifelike structure and most complete ancient chariots ever found in China.
The bronze chariot and horse are known as the "Crown of Bronze".
After walking hunched over in the passage for about half an hour, Zhao Zhen and his party finally came to a wide place. When they straightened up, they found that there was another door in front of them blocking everyone's way.
Hu Bin was much smarter this time and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your chance to show off has come. Now go and open this stone door."
After saying that, Hu Bin signaled everyone to retreat, leaving only Zhao Zhen standing in front of the stone gate. Zhao Zhen must have read the notebook, so he left so smoothly. After thinking for a while, he calmed down and stretched out his hands.
Pressing it on the stone door, with a slight force, the stone door opened.
It turns out that this stone gate is different from the 'miasma' outside. The 'miasma' at the entrance will accumulate after a period of time. The mechanism of this stone gate was destroyed by Zhao Zhen's grandfather, Li Tairong and his group thirty years ago.
It fell off, so now it's basically like a security door without insurance.
Zhao Zhen entered the stone gate and took a rough look with a mining lamp. He saw that the tomb was about the size of three football fields, and extinguished lanterns were hung on the walls on both sides. Finding nothing unusual, Zhao Zhen turned around and wanted to inform Hu
