Chapter 314: Looking for the Tomb of Chu State(2/2)

The four people from Baichi searched for burial pits like the ones just now on this hill. As expected by Cheng Hao, at this time, similar burial pits were found in various places on the hill. So many were found here.

The same burial pit was undoubtedly not a major discovery for the four of them.

If we continue searching like this, it seems that we will have some clues about the Chu Tomb.

After finding these burial pits, the four people did not dig them out, but turned and left, heading towards the larger and higher hills in the distance. For Cheng Hao, his judgment was not wrong. Since

With so many burial pits found here, you can also see what you want to see on the hill in front.

The four of them walked slowly into the hill, and they immediately felt that something was wrong. As the strong wind blew in their faces, Cheng Hao suddenly showed a smile on his face.

At this moment, Cheng Hao took out his compass. Under the display of the compass, the pointer on it kept pointing forward. Seeing this scene, Cheng Hao pointed to the hill in front of him and said: "Let's go up the mountain."

Go check it out!”

Regarding Cheng Hao's words, Bai Chi and Bai Ping had no objection at all because they were both laymen.

Just as Cheng Hao expected, an abnormality was discovered here. When the four of them walked slowly up the hillside, they found that there were many burial pits here, and the burial pits here were larger than the previous ones.

These burial pits in front of him caught Liu Wei's attention, so he stopped in front of one.

Because the surface of the burial pit here was covered with weeds, it was unclear what was inside. So the four people removed the weeds first. After removing the weeds, they saw the inside of the burial pit.

There are a lot of broken porcelain. Perhaps these broken porcelain can prove its age.

At this time, Liu Wei entered the pit. After entering the burial pit, he picked up pieces of broken porcelain and found several fragments with writing on them.

After careful observation of the fragments with text, Liu Wei nodded and said: "This is indeed the porcelain of Chu State!"

"How to prove it?" Cheng Hao frowned when he heard this and stared at Liu Wei.

"Because the characters of the State of Chu are written on it, and because the seal characters were used at that time, many of you can't recognize them! The Chinese seal characters evolved from oracle bone inscriptions, which appeared as early as 7,000 years ago.

By about 7,000 years ago, down to around 3,000 years ago, until the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, this type of font slowly evolved into simplified characters."

There are many issues that few people understand. It seems that Liu Wei knows a lot about this aspect of knowledge.

Now that the porcelain leftover from the Chu State has been found, this is a new discovery for the four people in Baichi. This can prove that there are indeed tombs from the Chu State in this area. After discovering this situation, the next step is to

What they did was to continue searching for Chu tombs. Finding this piece of evidence would be of great help to them in finding Chu tombs.

The four people in Baichi continued to walk slowly towards the top of the hill. Cheng Hao decided to use a Luoyang shovel to explore the land here to see if he could find anything.

However, this place is very big, and it is not that simple to detect something at once? So at this time, Cheng Hao chose to detect in sections.

When he arrived at the top of the hill, Cheng Hao did not rush to use the Luoyang shovel for detection. Instead, he first removed the weeds around him. After removing the weeds, he inserted the Luoyang shovel into the soil. When the shovel was inserted,

, first of all, I discovered a problem, that is, the soil here is much softer than the soil on the previous hill.

This unexpected discovery surprised Cheng Hao. He continued to insert the Luoyang shovel into the soil, and there might be more discoveries. When the Luoyang shovel was inserted into the deepest part, almost to the bottom, he slowly took it out. Then he discovered the surface of the shovel.

There are three different colors of soil. The top soil is light yellow, the middle is gray, and the bottom is red.

In such a place, soil of three different colors was dug with a Luoyang shovel. This was undoubtedly another important discovery for several people. It showed that there should be a mausoleum under the soil, and that it was buried very deep.

I just don’t know where the passage to this tomb is?

Through Luoyang Shovel's detection, the only thing that can be concluded now is that there is a mausoleum under the hill. However, where the passage to the mausoleum is, you have to find it yourself.

Cheng Hao stood on the hill and looked into the distance, observing the surroundings. It can be seen that this place is very big. However, the bigger the mountain is, it means that the tombs buried under the hill are also very big. If it were not for the kings of the Chu Kingdom being buried here,

, how could such a large hill be used to seal the earth? Kings in ancient times would build such a large tomb after their death.

"This mausoleum is under the hill, but where is the passage to this mausoleum?"

The four people turned their heads and looked around, their eyes blurred. At this moment, Cheng Hao took out the compass again, walked around the hill and said:

"How about this! Let's search together in four separate ways, each going in one direction. Regardless of whether we find it or not, we'll meet here later."

So the four people began to spread out and walk in four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest.
