Chapter 192 Funnel Tomb

It's scary, no wonder Xiaoxuan screamed.

If you don't look carefully, you really think it's a woman's face, very pale.

Actually, it wasn't. After I got into the water, I plucked up the courage to touch it with my hands.

It's just a plastic bag.

Because white mud is buried around the plastic bag, it looks particularly like a human face! It has a nose and eyes!

Douyazai took it up and laughed: "Haha! What a human face! Isn't this a plastic bag? Zhao Xuanxuan, you are so shocked."

"I'll take a look."

It doesn't matter when I took it over and saw it. I immediately exclaimed: "Put my head, this is not mud, this is white paste mud!"

I looked excited, and I took a little from the plastic bag and said, "Let's see if you want to see if you want to?"

He twisted his head back and forth with his fingers, frowned and said, "Yes, this is old white cream, but why... it came to the top?"

With a puzzled look on his head, he took a detour and walked to the other side of the river.

I looked down at my feet, frowned and stared at the riverside. Seeing this, I quickly ran over.

"Yunfeng, I think the place where we picked up the plastic bag just now may be a pit."

"Isn't it? The bottom of the river is full of silt, and I didn't see any exploration pits."

He frowned and speculated: "Someone has built a smuggling pit at the bottom of the river before. Over time, the silt will naturally fill the smudge."

"It shouldn't be discovered, and later the person left."

"Put your head, if you were talking about the pit, how could the white paste mud come up?"

"Also, if the person who was inquiring about the pit saw the white paste mud, he would definitely dig it. How could he leave like you said? This doesn't make sense."

"It must have been dug, but later gave up."

"Have you heard a word called anti-mud?"

"Anti-mud?"

I shook my head and said I had never heard of it.

"Just try it out."

"Wenbin, go and bring all the shovels."

He took his head back three steps, stomped his feet and said, "Just dig it down from here."

When we went back and put on our clothes, we ran over with our headlights. The three of us dug a hole at the same time and watched the whole time. He frowned and didn't know what we were thinking.

The three of them dug for more than an hour. When the depth reached nearly 1.8 meters, Brother Yu and I jumped down, Douyazai and Yuanbao were lifting the soil on them.

I shouted upwards: "Have your head! There is nothing! It's all dead soil!"

"Don't stop, keep going."

After digging for more than half an hour, it started to be a little abnormal.

The underground soil became very wet, and when dug up, it was filled with lumps of soil.

Seeing the lumps of soil raised by Douyazi, he seemed to think of something on his head.

He slapped his thighs and shouted: "I knew it! It turned out to be a funnel tomb!"

“It’s so rare.”

"How come there is a funnel tomb in this place? I have only found it in Changsha in the past... This is the north, who is buried here?"

After muttering his head, he hurriedly ordered: "Yunfeng Wenbin, you two widen the thief hole to 1.5 meters, and then dig it."

I don’t know what Changsha Funtomorrow is, and Douyazai and Yu Ge don’t know it. Anyway, he just listens to the head and digs.

When I was digging to nearly five meters deep, a layer of white paste mud was exposed under my feet, which was very sticky.

The white paste mud layer is nearly twenty centimeters thick, and down there is a layer of black charcoal soil. The charcoal from many years ago has gone into pieces, broken into powder, and fused into the soil layer.

"I'm so tired, Brother Yu stops, I have to rest for a while."

"I'm a little tired, so let's take a few minutes off."

After patting the soil on my head, I lit a cigarette and sat down to rest. At this time, I looked up and saw that the drop from the bottom of the pit was very high.

"then!"

Yuanbao shook his flashlight, shouted, and threw down two bottles of water.

That night, I had sweated a lot. Gudong Gudong finished a bottle of water in one breath and sat down to continue smoking.

I have been thinking about what kind of tomb is this? Under normal circumstances, you can see the tomb roof when you see the white paste mud. If it is a pure earth pit tomb without the tomb roof, you will see the white paste mud.

It means that the coffin is around, and maybe you can touch the rotten coffin board with the next shovel.

But since I saw the white paste mud and dug several meters down, I actually saw the rammed earth layer again.

Too strange, I haven't heard of it.

I admit that this situation involves my knowledge blind spots.

Let’s briefly look at common sense in tombs.

From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Warring States Period, white paste mud was constrained by a strict tomb hierarchy system, and the common people could not use it, nor could they afford it. One or two coins and one or two earth was too expensive, and only nobles such as the Xiaozhuwang could use it.

After the Warring States Period, a large amount of microcrystalline kaolin (i.e. white paste mud) was found in Jiujiang County (Jingdezhen), and the system was relaxed, some wealthy officials also started to use it after their deaths.

Under normal circumstances, from the tomb chamber to the ground, the first layer is a layer of white paste mud, then a layer of charcoal, then a layer of rammed earth, and finally a layer of soil sealing.

This tomb by the small river in Huanggugou, Mangshan was reversed!

The order is completely reversed!

It is first white paste mud, then wood charcoal and rammed earth. I guess it is sealed soil down... Isn't this just going backwards?

After resting for about ten minutes, I suddenly heard Brother Yu's shovel hit something with a "bang!"

Brother Yu looked down.

It turned out to be a pitch-black coffin lid!

"Stop! Stop digging!"

I hurriedly called Brother Yu to stop and then squat down to watch.

That's right.

This strange tomb has no tomb chamber or initiation, it is just a pure earth pit tomb, and it will be a rotten coffin when dug out!

Judging from the coffin lid exposed to the soil layer, the coffin is very thin and very narrow. Although not all of it was dug out, it was also visually short.

A quick glance gives people the feeling that this is not a coffin, or a long box.

After looking down, he took a deep breath and said, "This is... a thin coffin burial."

I asked, "Which era was this coffin from? This is a white paste and earth pit tomb. It is likely to be before the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, or the Western Han Dynasty?"

"It's hard to say... I have to look at it, it's possible."

"Wenbin gives me your water."

Take half a bottle of water from Brother Yu and slowly pours his head on the exposed black coffin lid.

The wood of the coffin is unknown, and I don’t know what paint has been painted, but it’s not rotten at all. After watering it, wipe it with my hands. It looks very new, which is very abnormal for the earth pit tomb.

The only reasonable explanation is that the wood-carbon layer and the white paste mud layer separate the air and water. If it is as humid as the top, the wood will rot into slag.

I'm making an example. White paste mud is like peeling an egg shell, the layer of "white film" we see.

After watering, I turned my head on the flashlight and watched it carefully. He asked me in a low voice if I saw it?

I said I saw it, it seemed like a feather man.

Can be seen vaguely.

A few winged and naked villains were painted on the lid of the coffin.
