Chapter 42 Exploration(2/2)
"No, this is not the powder knocked from the stone, this is fucking cement!"
"Why is there cement?"
I wasn't sure, so I ran to hit it twice with a Luoyang shovel. When I saw the fine gray-white powder that came up, it was really cement!
I was shocked and asked the manager what was going on. I had never heard of cement in the soil.
He has been working in the field all his life and is well-informed. Naturally, he knows more than me. He immediately ordered us to dig three exploration pits along the exploration pits made by Xiaoxuan, radiating to the surroundings.
As a result, the Luoyang shovel was blocked, and the off-white powder was ejected from the soil again.
He took a deep breath and said, "Here we come, it's the big tomb."
"If I guess correctly, this is an extremely rare grout tomb. The owner of the tomb must be rich or noble."
Dou Yazai was a fool, so he heard the boss's last words, "The owner of the tomb is either rich or noble."
"Then what are you waiting for! Don't eat it! Start digging now!" After saying this, Bean Sprouts started to look for a shovel.
His face changed, and he stopped Dou Yazi and said, "Dou Yazi, don't worry, we need to determine now whether the tomb is fully grouted or half grouted."
"If the tomb is half-grouted, maybe we still have a chance."
"If it's full grouting, then there's no need to work hard, it's unsolvable."
My expression changed after hearing this.
Most people may not know what a grout tomb is.
Grouting tombs are also called "grouting burials". This is a self-inflicted burial method used by ancient people to prevent theft. It was mostly seen in the middle and early Ming Dynasty and disappeared from the late Ming Dynasty.
Currently, it is publicly known that grout tombs have been discovered only in Taizhou, and several cases have also been discovered in Baoying County, Yangzhou.
In the past, ancient tomb anti-theft methods generally included the following.
Turning boards, broken dragon stones, iron apotheosis, accumulated sand, accumulated stones, mercury, sky fire, tap stones, water storage tombs, door jambs, iron cable hanging stones, among which accumulated stone tombs are the most common, and accumulated stone tombs are seen from above
It is divided into four levels: the capstone area, the capstone area, the gravel area, and the undercover stone area.
In terms of anti-theft effects alone, all of the above pale in comparison to grout tombs.
