Chapter 282 The Corner Room

Happiness always comes suddenly, and then leaves inexplicably.

I subdued the two beautiful women. I haven't experienced the happiness of hugging left and right for two days. Gao Xiaojin and Eli are going back to Hong Kong. It is natural for Gao Xiaojin to return to Hong Kong. After all, the Gao family is still there. As the heir of the Gao family, Gao Xiaojin naturally can't follow him without a name.

However, Elie also wants to go back, which makes Zhang Ping very dissatisfied. And what annoyed him most was that Ellie did not say the reason, but strangely gave him a small promise: the trip to Hong Kong will soon end, and they will meet in Beijing and Hua.

Looking at the passing plane, Zhang Ping was sad. On this trip to Fuzhou, I didn't find any treasures in the sea, but I got two beautiful women, which is also lucky.

In fact, Zhang Ping should have gone back a long time ago, but he still has a date here. Jin Rong had already agreed with him that he wanted to go to Kaihua Temple with him to find out the strange truth there after the above approval came down. After two days of delay, Zhang Ping was allowed to enjoy the blessings of others. The beautiful woman has left, and this batch has also come down. Zhang Ping is ready. At noon today, their exploration operation officially begins.

Back to the corner of Kaihua Temple, Zhang Ping suddenly found that Jin Rong had set up a lot of battles. In the past few days, Zhang Ping has also learned a lot about Jin Rong. Although he is now the curator of the museum, Jin Rong is also the captain of the archaeological team under the Cultural Heritage Bureau. He often runs around the outside and has also made a lot of fame. In the past few years, I have gradually become idle and serve as the curator of this museum. In a sense, it is the position of retirement.

Unexpectedly, an ancient corpse was found under his eyelids, and there were more strange existences not far from the corpse. These inevitably made him very interested. In the past few days, he has also been constantly researching the information of Kaihua Temple, but there are no important discoveries. Fortunately, while waiting for approval in the past few days, Jin Rong has already done some surveys here and found a lot of clues. It is preliminarily concluded that there is very likely to be a tomb here. As for the tombs of who and what dynasty they are, it depends on the specific excavation results.

Now that you have got the approval, you don't have to worry about the room above. Under Jin Rong's order, his men began to move. What made Zhang Ping curious was a strange shovel in their hands. Half a cylindrical iron shovel, followed by a threaded steel pipe, half a meter above and down, can also be layer by layer, which can be extended at will.

Seeing that he was very interested in this shovel, Jin Rong introduced it tirelessly: "This is the Luoyang shovel. It is said that this Luoyang shovel was invented by Li Yazi, a grave robber in a rural area near Luoyang, Henan Province.

Around 1923, Li Yazi, a villager from Mapo Village, came to a place called Mengjin near his house to go to the market. After a while, he squatted on the roadside to rest. Li Yazi usually makes a living by robbing tombs, so he often thinks about tomb robbery.

At this time, he saw a steamed bun shop not far from him. The steamed bun seller was about to make a small hole in the ground. His tool to make a hole in the ground aroused the interest of Li Duck. Because he saw that every time this thing poked to the ground, it could bring a lot of soil. Li Yazi, who was experienced in tomb robbery, immediately realized that it was easier to find the ancient tomb than the shovel he usually used, so he was inspired to make a paper pattern according to that tool, and found a blacksmith to make a physical object according to the paper pattern. The first Luoyang shovel was born. In the future, it will be widely spread among the inverted people.

Zhang Ping was very surprised. He pointed to the tubular thing in front of him and asked, "What is this? Why is it designed like this? What's the use?"

Jin Rong nodded to him and was very satisfied with his open-minded attitude towards learning. At this time, he was also idle, so he and Zhang Ping found a chair to sit down and set up a dragon gate array with him.

"Because this Luoyang shovel is to be used for digging holes and collecting soil exploration, it is simply a tool, which is mainly used for digging graves and Taobao. General users can master the general use method.

After installing a tough wooden rod, it can be more than ten meters underground. By distinguishing the soil structure, color and inclusions brought out of the shovel head, it can be judged whether there are ancient tombs underground. There are more than 20 production processes of Luoyang shovel. The most important thing is to create a curvature during molding. It needs to be carefully knocked. If you are not careful, the shovel will not be soiled. Not only that, Luoyang shovel is more complicated in the production process. Usually, the manufacture of a small shovel requires nearly 20 processes such as billet making, calcination, heat treatment, molding, grinding, etc., so it can only be made by hand.

If you install a tough mason wood rod on the shovel head and connect it with a special rope, you can penetrate more than ten meters underground, or even dozens of meters deep. After the shovel is lifted, the inside of the shovel head will bring out a tube of soil. In this way, the tomb robbers continue to drill deep into the ground, and the tomb robbers analyze the soil structure, color, density and various inclusions of the different soil layers extracted. If it is a ripe soil that has been moved by later generations, there may be tombs or ancient buildings underground.

If ceramics, iron, copper, gold and wood are found, the nature and layout of the underground collection can be inferred. Experienced tomb robbers can judge the situation of the underground by the different sounds and feelings of the hands made by the Luoyang shovel hitting the ground. For example, the compacted walls are naturally very different from the hollow tombs and tombs.

In addition, the tombs dug are different, and the tomb robbery tools are also different. The exploration of the Han tomb is a heavy shovel evolved from a Luoyang shovel. When digging the Tang tomb, a flat shovel is used to enter the tomb room of the Han tomb (the Han tomb is mostly a tomb pit, and most of which has collapsed). When pounding the earth, you use a fork and a skimming knife.

With the development of the times, the general Luoyang shovel has been eliminated. The new shovel is modified on the basis of the Luoyang shovel, divided into heavy shovels and lifting shovels (also known as mud shovels). Because the wooden pole at the back of the Luoyang shovel head is too long, the target is too big. Therefore, if you don't use it, you can use threaded steel pipes instead. As you can see, it is about half a meter up and down, which can be used layer by layer and extended at will. When you look at the terrain, you open it and carry it in your shoulder bag.

Now you understand that the Luoyang shovel family is now very large, such as the electric Luoyang shovel, just like a small drilling machine. In terms of construction, highway, railway and mining, in fact, this Luoyang shovel has a lot of effect.

Zhang Ping opened his eyes. At this time, several archaeologists had already begun to make holes in the surrounding area with Luoyang shovels. The tinkling is endless. If it weren't for the electric Luoyang shovel, it would really be a physical job. With curiosity, Zhang Ping looked at their behavior seriously and asked some questions that he couldn't understand from time to time.

After a while, a team member took out the Luoyang shovel in his hand, and a tube of soil came out of it. Jin Rong pointed to the soil and said to Zhang Ping, "Let's judge whether there is a tomb below, that is, look at the soil brought out from it. The first thing to make the earth speak is to distinguish the color. The first layer is the cultivated soil layer, which is generally sandy soil. The color is yellow and the reference value is the lowest. Under the sandy soil is red soil.

The second floor is the cultural layer, which is also the destination of archaeology, because traces of human activities are piled up on it, and you can see the life marks of human cultivation and animal husbandry on it. The third layer is the biosoil layer, which is likely to reach the limestone layer, and it will basically end if it can't be dug.

If the soil layer changes, the red soil is on the sand, or the mixed traces of the two kinds of soil are obvious, which are traces of deep excavation, which means that there are tombs under the ground. This kind of soil layer, which looks like 'streaky pork', is affectionately called 'flower soil' by the archaeological exploration staff. As long as a 'flower and soil' similar to 'streaky pork' is found, it can show that there is a possibility of a tomb below.

Look at this tube of soil, there are traces of flowers and soil, that is to say, there may be tombs below.

Sure enough, as Jin Rong expected, after being busy for a while, he successfully dug out an oblique channel, which is the so-called theft hole. Zhang Ping thought to himself: It seems that this archaeology is similar to tomb robbery, but one is official, and the other is not in light. But in fact, it's all the same way, all for the things in the tomb.

In terms of tombs, Zhang Ping is obviously a rookie, and he can't speak at all. Naturally, Jin Rong also understood. While ordering everyone to do things, he explained every specific detail to Zhang Ping. His dedication made Zhang Ping feel panicked and scared, and there was a feeling that the students were carefully taught by the teacher.

Down the thief's hole, a wall blocked the way. Zhang Ping looked at Jin Rong, who smiled and pointed to the wall and said, "Zhang Ping, I'll test you. What should we do now?"

Zhang Ping carefully looked at the stone wall in front of him, glanced at it with his heavenly eyes when he was not paying attention, and immediately found the mystery inside. In the lower right corner, there is a brick that is obviously different from the others, subconsciously pressing towards the brick. Hearing the sound, the stone wall suddenly cracked a gap from the middle, and then slowly separated, revealing a secret room inside.

Zhang Ping didn't feel anything about it, but he was shocked by the people next to him. Jin Rong looked at Zhang Ping with deep meaning and couldn't help asking, "Zhang Ping, how did you know that the brick was strange?"

"Oh, I saw that the color and flatness of the brick seemed to be different from others, so I pressed it tentatively, but I didn't expect it to really touch the mechanism. What luck." Zhang Ping didn't dare to say anything about the heavenly eye, so he had to make up a false and real lie.

Jin Rong was very satisfied. He hadn't seen a newcomer with such a keen observation like Zhang Ping for a long time, and he couldn't help thinking about it. Speaking of which, there are many of his apprentices, but there are few that can really satisfy him, and Zhang Ping in front of him, just like a beautiful jade that has not yet been carved, appeared in front of him. No wonder he has a different idea.
