Chapter 1164 Enter
According to Zhuang Rui's previous estimate, this big tomb may intersect with the dark river after one or two hundred meters, but now there is a dark river more than 30 meters deep, which makes Zhuang Rui a little surprised.
This can only show that the whole tomb is not built in parallel, but the terrain is slowly rising, so if the tomb continues to develop deep, there is a possibility of intersecing with the dark river.
What made Zhuang Rui feel strange is not here, but that he found a secret door on the bluestone wall in the corner of the last tomb!
This dark door is only one meter square, and it is made of a whole piece of blue stone. Its specifications and shape are exactly the same as those next to it. The reason why it is a dark door is that after this bluestone, there is a beautiful road more than 30 meters long.
"Is it a stolen hole?"
The first thing that came to Zhuang Rui's mind was the word "stealing the cave". The reason why he had this reaction was that the ancients' tomb robbery skills were too skillful, and there were almost no tombs that they could not enter.
Zhuang Rui has traveled all the way, and almost all the tombs he has seen have been stolen, ranging from one or two holes to dozens.
This Genghis Khan Mausoleum is also full of organs, and almost every tomb has hidden murder, so although there is no trace of the whole tomb that it has been stolen and excavated, there is no guarantee that no tomb robber has entered here. Maybe the tomb robber who opened the hole has died in the tomb?
"It doesn't look like a stolen hole..."
Zhuang Rui then overturned his idea, because not to mention that there was no trace of those organs being launched, and those tomb robbers would not have such a gentle means to open the hole and make a bluestone plate to cover it.
"It was left by the craftsmen who built the mausoleum..."
Looking at the seamless fit between the bluestone slab and the surrounding walls, Zhuang Rui guessed the origin of the tunnel after the bluestone. Only the craftsmen who built the mausoleum at that time were able to dig such a tunnel more than 30 meters above the ground.
And they also have enough reasons to keep the tunnel secretly. As we all know, ordinary imperial tombs will kill the craftsmen who build tombs for their concealment, not to mention the Mongolians who have always liked secret burial. After the tomb is built, those craftsmen have no hope of survival.
These craftsmen and slaves from the Central Plains, Xixia and other countries must also know this situation very well, so that during the construction, they secretly left such a tunnel for themselves, that is, to wait for the emperor's boat coffin to be put into the tomb, and after the broken dragon stone is dropped, they and others to escape.
Such a situation is also seen from time to time in the ancient tombs that have been unearthed, and there are examples of craftsmen successfully escaping.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, an emperor died. At that time, the n main persons in charge of the Mausoleum of Emperor Xu were left in the imperial mausoleum as mourners. However, more than ten years later, a large number of martyrs of the emperor's at that time suddenly flowed out from the people.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty was not subverted. The imperial mausoleums were guarded by the army, and it was almost impossible to be stolen and excavated. How did these funerary objects flow out? The emperor at that time was immediately investigated.
The result later shocked the emperor, because a person who should have died for more than ten years suddenly appeared in the sight of the world.
After some torture and investigation, it was learned that they secretly left a secret door when they were building the tomb. When the broken dragon stone of the tomb was put down, these people quietly slipped out of the tomb from the secret door.
However, these people knew that they could only live anonymously in the future, so they brought out a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from the tomb, which was enough for them to live a safe life.
It's just that one of the craftsmen likes gambling by nature. After enduring for a few years, he began to gamble again. After exporting the unmarked gold and silver, he took out the funeral goods made according to the emperor's tomb specifications at that time. Only then did he show his trace and was caught by the vine.
As soon as this matter came out, the government and the opposition shook. Some literati attacked Xu Xingdi brutally and were martyred with living people, which caused a great disturbance.
Although the craftsman was executed, the craftsmen who later built tombs for the emperor in the Tang Dynasty were all raised by the royal captivity. They were not only themselves, but also their descendants as the construction of royal tombs, which continued from generation to generation.
Obviously, the secret door found by Zhuang Rui should have been left for the craftsmen who built the mausoleum for Genghis Khan. However, they thought that they would be left in the tomb, but they did not expect that the Mongols were so cruel that they executed these craftsmen directly as martyrs, so that the hidden door was also It has never played its role.
Looking at this secret door, Zhuang Rui shook his head slightly. Although the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was vast, it was undeniable that for the Han people, the hundred years of rule was dark, and its miserable degree was even far from the disaster brought by the Qing soldiers entering the customs.
Meng Yuan was a conquering dynasty, and the Mongols were the conquerors of the Han people and various ethnic minorities in mainland China. During the reign of the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols divided the whole Chinese into three classes, and the Han people were in the bottom of society.
Han and southerners live a life of less than cattle and horses under the butcher's knives of the Mongols. Mongolians prohibit Han and southerners from practicing martial arts and owning metal knives. The Mongolian system stipulates that ten households are one guarantee, and Mongolians or people serve as the head of the guard.
The property of these ten households and women Mongolians can be used at will. Ten households share a kitchen knife. The first night of each family's marriage to a new daughter-in-law must be given to the Mongolian governor, which is the so-called ** power possession system.
Due to the ** right of house humiliation, the Han people at that time killed the first child after marriage. This is the origin of the death of the first child. Our ancestors used such a helpless but resolute method to maintain the purity of bloodline.
This brutality is most directly reflected in the fact that the Yuan Dynasty ruled for 98 years, and the Han population fell from 80 million to 30 million, which is the lowest point of China's population after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Although Zhuang Rui studied the history of Mengyuan, he did not have any good impression of the ruling class, so that when talking to Peng Fei, he vaguely called Genghis Khan the old Mongolian ghost.
So the Mongols killed the craftsmen who built the tomb, which was a trivial thing for them, but it was a pity that these craftsmen had done enough to escape accurately, but they failed to escape the fate of death.
Although what happened thousands of years ago can no longer be verified, Zhuang Rui believes that the truth must be far from what he guessed.
"These financial security are all looted, and I must let them return to the world..."
Zhuang Rui really can't be regarded as a qualified archaeologist. He can't look at history with an attitude of being out of the matter. After figuring out this joint, Zhuang Rui secretly made a decision in his heart.
"God bless, there must be an entrance and exit in the river..."
Now Zhuang Rui hopes all his hopes on the secret road, which can lead to the ground. Without alarming Peng Fei, Zhuang Rui took a deep breath and turned his eyes to the dark river behind the secret road.
The underground dark river is an underground river formed by the collection of groundwater, or surface water infiltrates the ground along the underground rock cracks, and is formed by rock erosion, collapse and water transportation. Most dark rivers often have exits and no entrances. That is to say, the water flow of the underground dark river goes out, but people can't
Zhuang Rui's eyes, with the winding river under the ground extending forward, the terrain of the river gradually increased after 300 meters.
This discovery made Zhuang Rui very happy. As long as the flow direction remains unchanged, there will definitely be an exit to the ground.
"Grandma, is it so long?"
Zhuang Rui did not expect that the length of the dark river was far beyond his imagination. When he had been chasing nearly four or five miles along the direction of the dark river, the height of the dark river was only more than ten meters from the ground.
"Is this... a big lake?"
When Zhuang Rui's eyes came to the exit of the dark river, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, because the exit of this dark river was actually at the bottom of a lake, and the entrance was flooded by the lake. It took more than 20 meters to sneak in to reach the high point where the dark river was not completely submerged
However, compared with the layers of broken dragon stones under the Alzhai Grottoes, this entrance is already unique. The length of more than 20 meters is nothing to many people. If those craftsmen did not die under the butcher's knives of the Mongols, maybe they really have a chance to escape.
"Law..."
Just as Zhuang Rui was looking for some excuse to go to the lake, a familiar horse hiss suddenly came to his ear. The sound that resounded through the prairie surprised Zhuang Rui and quickly sat up.
As soon as he got out of the tent, Zhuang Rui saw the chasing wind running towards him from dozens of meters away. His strong body showed a faint golden light in the morning light. After seeing Zhuang Rui, the chasing wind in the running looked up to the sky and hissed happily.
"Hey, man, why are you here?" Zhuang Rui ran a few steps against Chasing the wind and hugged the big head of Chasing Feng in his arms.
Peng Fei, who was beside him, saw that Chasing the wind was so amazing, especially his white horse looked flattering after seeing Chasing the wind. He couldn't help but feel it in his heart. He pouted angrily and said, "Brother Zhuang, not only this coquettish guy is coming, but Lao Ba and others are
Hearing this, Zhuang Rui raised his head and looked at the way of chasing the wind. Sure enough, Battle, Timur and Dr. Ren were riding this way on horseback, and even the little girl Wuyun Qiqi did not fall.
"Zhuang Rui'an replied, I sent you your chasing wind..."
More than ten meters away, Timur's cheerful laughter came to Zhuang Rui's ears. The four of them stopped and stopped in front of Zhuang Rui's tent.
