Chapter 72 The thing at the bottom of the pit
I still remember that it was around 5 o'clock that day, when Douyazai and I dug about four meters underground, blue bricks were exposed.
Sure enough, there is something...
I threw away the cigarette butts in my hand and continued to dig. Soon, a rusty stone slab appeared in the soil.
Judging from the appearance, this place should be a cellar similar to thatched pit, built with blue bricks, covered with a stone slab on the top, and then buried with soil.
There is no text pattern on the stone slab, just an ordinary bluestone slab weighing about two or three hundred kilograms.
"Can you use some strength? You haven't eaten."
Douyazai gasped and said, "Fengzi, look at how much sweat I have on my head. It's not that I didn't use any force! It's because this thing is too heavy!"
"Don't talk nonsense. If you can't move, use a crowbar to pry it. If you can't, just smash it with a hammer!"
I called Brother Yu to throw the crowbar down, and then worked hard with Douyazai to pry the stone slab.
He kept his head silent and watched us do it in the hole.
Using the principle of leverage, my entire upper body was pressed against a crowbar. With Douyazi's screams, this stone slab that had been buried underground for hundreds of years was slowly pried open to a gap.
I squatted down and shone the flashlight inward.
Soil was also buried in the cellar. The soil was reddish-brown in color, uneven in height, like rust, and it was impossible to tell what was buried.
Douyazai and I jumped carefully, dug twice with a shovel, and dug out a broken hilt of the iron sword.
Dig down with the shovel.
Iron spears, iron forks, iron daggers, iron spear heads, iron bows, iron crossbows, iron horns, iron whistles, iron armor pieces, etc. were successively dug out. There were many varieties and many varieties.
The iron armor pieces grew up with the soil, rusted into a big lump, and could not be separated at all.
After digging at around six o'clock, Douyazai was sweating heavily and gasped and said, "Did we dig a weapon pit? It's all broken swords and swords! Why is there nothing valuable to do!"
I was also exhausted, and I said, "Don't panic, this hasn't been dug to the end yet. What if there is something at the bottom?"
After saying that, I shook the rope and signaled Brother Yu to pull the dirt up.
It's past seven o'clock.
As soon as I put on the headlight, I heard Douyazai shouting: "Fengzi, come and see! There is a big jar!"
A piece of cylinder eaves appeared in the soil, which was a ceramic jar.
The first reaction in my mind was a cylinder of copper coins, which may be Northern Song Dynasty copper coins or Western Xia copper coins. If it was a Western Xia copper coins jar, it would be a big deal!
A rotten Western Xia Wen Zhenguan treasure money could be sold for 40,000 yuan! If it were a big tank, how much would it cost!
"Be careful," I said to Douyazai: "Don't use shovels. The place is small, and the shovels are easy to break things. Use a small shovel."
After saying that, I squatted on the ground, straightened my headlights, and cleaned it with a small shovel.
As the cleaning deepened, a complete large pottery jar was exposed, and some broken bricks and tiles were broken in the jar.
This thing couldn't be moved, Douyazi picked up the broken head in the jar and flipped it a few times, revealing a dead bone, which seemed to be a thigh bone.
Douyazai and I looked at each other, where is the copper coins?
Just as the bone leaked out, a strong wind suddenly blew from the head, and the wind blew, making the head and eyes unable to open.
This is not a tomb, and human bones suddenly appeared in the jar. Who is he?
Clean up a little bit.
Another white bones were found in the tank, and the skull was the last leak.
Half of the skull's eye socket was buried in the soil, looking at us slantedly, it seemed a little weird.
"What are you looking at? You dare to glare at me?"
Douyazai cursed, holding the holes in the sockets of the skull with his hand, lifted them up from the tank and said, "Brother, do you think I'm afraid of you, go up there!"
After saying that, he kicked the skull up like a football.
The skull rolled to Brother Yu's feet. Brother Yu looked down and said, "Sin, Amitabha, Yazi, you accumulate some virtue. Be careful that people will become ghosts to take revenge on you."
Douyazai smiled and rushed up to her head and said loudly: "Brother Yu! Then it's better to give me a beautiful female ghost. I don't have high requirements, just look like an xxx star!"
Click!
Suddenly, thunder broke out, and raindrops fell from the sky.
Douyazi reached out and said, "Grass, why is it raining again? It just rained two days ago."
There was no sign of the rain coming, so it was gone.
I quickly found a fan cloth to block the large tank. I was going to find two stones to press the fan cloth.
At this moment, I suddenly saw something "green" exposed in the tank. I didn't know what it was, so I just picked it up.
This draw cannot be moved.
"What are you still watching there! Come up soon! Get up! Get up!"
"I understand! I'm right now!"
The raindrops fell on my neck and felt cold.
I buckled it hard and pulled out an arched, green-glazed porcelain-made thing, about 30 cm long. I don't know what it is.
Holding it in my arms casually, I hurriedly climbed up.
I ran back to the stone house and lit a candle. Only then did I know what I was holding.
It is a green three-color porcelain pillow from the Liao and Jin dynasties.
This kind of porcelain pillow is rough in workmanship, the curve of the cushion is very large, the left and right is hollow, and the overall shape is like an arch bridge. It is not comfortable for living people to use it. It is a "hidden weapon" that was used to be used by the dead.
Have you never used this kind of pillow?
If you have the chance, you can go to the museum to see the real thing. I feel that living people will definitely feel a little stiff when they use it all night.
Three words were engraved with a knife on the hollowed-out part of the porcelain pillow.
"Ali Xi."
Xiaoxuan took a sip of water and said, "I understand. The bone is called Alixi. He used this pillow. There must be something else in the jar."
Douyazai applauded repeatedly: "Okay, Zhao Xuanxuan, you are getting smarter and smarter. Then you explain why Ali Xi was buried in the jar and brought the pillow into the jar?"
"This...this, I don't know."
"Don't laugh at the dead bean sprout! You must not know either!"
Douyazai laughed and said, "I don't know? There is nothing I don't know! When I retire in the future, Peking University will have to go to me to be a professor of archaeology!"
I said you know? Then tell me.
Douyazai said seriously: "Look, ancient monks had a kind of sitting in a tank, so this must be a sleeping tank. With a pillow, it is convenient for sleeping in the tank."
"Okay, please shut up quickly."
"Take your head, what do you think?"
He stared at Yuye in a daze. He didn't say it directly, but asked me what I thought.
I thought about it and said, "I unearthed so many weapons and harnesses on my head, which proves that the owner may be a general of the Western Xia. It is said in history that the Western Wuer Kingdom has existed for a long time. At that time, because there was no war to fight, the general buried all the weapons underground after his death."
After listening to the head, he shook his head: "Yunfeng, you said it to the point, but you didn't say it right."
He looked at the rainy night and said, "At that time, there were two types of military officers and soldiers in Xixia, one was the army, and the other was the army. The Tiansheng Ruling of Xixia recorded that when Xixia fought against the Song Dynasty, the whole people were soldiers, and one Dangxiang Zhengjun was equipped with two army soldiers. When there was no war, the army was similar to a slave. Once the war was fought, the role was to be cannon fodder."
"These people are weak and sick, and the outside world calls these people the military. In fact, in the Xixia military camp, this type of person has no name and is uniformly called "Alixi". The man is called a male Alixi, and the woman is called a female Alixi.
“In my opinion…”
She guessed: "At that time, there was a general in Xixia who buried his weapons and armor in the cellar, and buried Ali Xi, who was serving him, with him. The purpose was to look forward to these weapons underground."
I asked another question.
"If the head is like that, why not use a coffin? Isn't it reasonable to use a large jar?"
Shaking his head: "It's not that you don't need it, it's because there's no place to use it. Think about it, can you put a coffin in that place?"
I clapped my hands suddenly: "I understand, so that's it! The area of that place is too small, I can only put down a jar. This porcelain pillow is the funeral item that the general gave to Ali Xi!"
Nodded: "That's right, you always have a little bit of Yunfeng, and it's very likely that's the case."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and suddenly Xiaoxuan shouted: "Look at me! What's going on!"
Look out the house.
I saw many little toads rushing towards the cellar, with dense numbers, and jumping to the cellar.
When I got to the front, I jumped down without hesitation.
Chapter completed!
