Chapter 894 Sand washing
In this world, he often scares himself. When he doesn't know the principle of the Changming lamp, Zhuang Rui is really afraid in his heart, but now that he knows it, when he looks at these spontaneously ignited bronze lamps, the feeling in his heart is completely different.
"Xiaozhuang, be careful, the corridor is the most peaceful." With the scale of this tomb, I'm afraid there will be a lot of organs..." Professor Meng saw Zhuang Rui rushing to go inside and hurriedly reminded him. In fact, he did not say the principle of spontaneous combustion of the long light at the beginning, but just wanted to test the courage of I know it.
The result made Professor Meng satisfied." Although Zhuang Rui was afraid, he did not fall off the chain.
However, the knowledge of the two apprentices made Professor Meng a little dissatisfied. The debate of the bright lamp had long been said in the world academic circles, and the two apprentices did not pay attention to it.
"Teacher, I know..."
Zhuang Rui agreed. I'm afraid no one knows the situation in the tomb better than him.
Although the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes can't be seen in real objects, Zhuang Rui can still sense the situation in each tomb through the aura emitted by different burial objects in the tomb.
Those arrow organs also have a weak aura, and it is indeed a little uneasy in the underground of this corridor. Zhuang Rui has already sensed it.
Although the lights emitted by these long lights in the tomb are dark, there are many lights that can't be held up. There is one every three meters, showing the whole situation of the tomb in front of everyone.
"Teacher, there is something wrong in front..." When he walked through a corner, Zhuang Rui stopped. One meter in front of him, there was a deep trap. Due to the angle problem, the light on the wall could not shine in." He couldn't see the situation inside clearly.
"Xiao Ren" brought the ladder, good boy, this trap is not small." After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Professor Meng came forward and took a strong light flashlight to shine inside. Suddenly, he said "Oh" in his mouth.
"There is someone inside..."
With Professor Meng's flashlight, Zhuang Rui also saw the situation in the trap. It was up to two meters deep and four meters wide in the trap, with dozens of swords and spears inserted upside down. Although they were all induced, they still stood at the bottom of the pit.
Halfway through Zhuang Rui's words, there are indeed people in it, but they are dead people.
In the middle of these sharp blades, there is a white bone. The dead man's skull and body have been completely separated.
The skull with two empty eyes was left alone at the bottom of the pit. Under the light, it seemed so empty and deep, as if to tell everyone about his miserable experience.
"Another tomb robber..." Professor Meng frowned deeply, picked up the flashlight and looked up the corridor. "A small thief hole appeared in front of everyone. Obviously, the tomb robber was not very lucky. After opening the hole, he fell into the trap.
However, this makes the prospect of the tomb a little confusing. No one knows whether there have been tomb robbers in the front of the tomb.
"Teacher, please let me put this ladder over..." Zhuang Rui took the alloy ladder handed over by Dr. Ren and put it above the trap. Then he stretched out his foot and stepped on it, feeling stable.
"Huh?"
When Zhuang Rui was about to go over the ladder, his eyes glanced in the deep pit used as a trap and suddenly stopped.
"Teacher, there seems to be something in there..."
Zhuang Rui found that under the bone, there was a small copper brand with aura in it, which was very thick.
"Where is it?" Professor Meng followed Zhuang Rui's finger and looked over, but he didn't see it.
"I'll go down and bring it up..."
Zhuang Rui handed the flashlight to Ren Chunqiang and was ready to go down. There was also a gap between these swords and spears in the trap. As long as he did not go down horizontally and step on the gap, he would not enjoy the treatment of the tomb robber.
"Xiaozhuang, forget it" That's probably what the grave robber left..."
Professor Meng doesn't want Zhuang Rui to get involved in danger. This trap is too deep. If he doesn't pay attention, he will step on the blade.
"It's okay, teacher, come up right away..." Zhuang Rui said, put his hands on the ground next to the trap, slowly put his body down, and touched those swords and spears with his feet. These sharp blades, which seemed to be still useful, were suddenly broken into two pieces and fell into the deep pit.
But the sword that has not decayed below is still enough to penetrate the people who fell into the trap. Zhuang Rui did not dare to be careless at all until his feet were on the ground.
"Brother Ren, hand me the wooden stick "..." Zhuang Rui reached out to Ren Chunqiang to ask for a wooden stick for road exploration." He picked it on the bone. In addition to the skull that fell from the skull, Hua Ju suddenly loosened.
"Don't be surprised, man, don't hurry up..."
Zhuang Rui was scared and quickly bowed to the bone with his fists in his hands. Then he stretched out his wooden stick and pushed a sign under the bone in his direction.
"Hey, it's not a light game...
When his hand could reach it, Zhuang Rui bent down and took the bronze medal the size of a baby's palm in his hand.
Due to the erosion of time, the bronze medal has lost its luster, dissatisfied with the copper temptation, and there is a layer of dark black matter on it.
Zhuang Rui and the dead man's bones stood together, which was a little uncomfortable." He didn't care to look carefully. At present, he put the sign in his pocket and climbed to the ground with both hands.
"What have you found?" Professor Meng is also a little curious. For the ancient tomb robbers, they are also divided into northern and southern schools, and there are also official thieves.
It can be said that the history of tomb robbers is completely developing at the same time as tombs, and there is also special research on tomb robbers in the archaeological field.
The owner of the tomb tried his best to prevent the theft, while the grave robbers struggled to enter the ancient tomb. The two have been fighting for thousands of years, but judging from the unearthed tombs, it seems that the grave robbers still have the upper hand.
"It's a bronze medal, teacher, look..." Zhuang Rui took the bronze medal out of his pocket and handed it to Professor Meng's hand.
"Xiao Ren, take some clear water gauze and sandpaper..."
Professor Meng took a photo on the sign with a flashlight. He couldn't find anything, but he stroked it with his thumb. He felt uneven, and there seemed to be embossed handwriting.
After receiving the clear water handed over by Ren Chunqiang, Professor Meng first cleaned the bronze medal, and then carefully polished the surface of the bronze medal with fine sandpaper. The layer of copper rust was quickly wiped off, revealing a touch of yellow.
After wiping off the copper rust, Professor Meng wiped it hard with gauze. The color on it showed that this should be a brass brand.
Professor Meng put the wiped bronze plate in the palm of his hand. Zhuang Rui, who stood aside, saw that on the surface of the bronze medal, there was a cloud-split mountain, and a river under the mountain passed through.
Professor Meng turned over the other side of the bronze medal, which should be two words. It's just that Zhuang Rui's angle was wrong and he couldn't see what he was writing.
"Taosa!" Professor Meng had already said it without waiting for Zhuang Rui to ask.
"Sand washing? Teacher, what is this?
Zhuang Rui originally thought it was Cao Cao's token to touch the gold captain, but he didn't expect to hear two strange words.
"Ha ha, this is also a kind of official position." This trip is not worth it." The original historical record of the sand washing official really exists..."
Professor Meng smiled when he heard the words and saw Zhuang Rui's doubtful face. Then he said, "In ancient times, there were not only Cao Cao's official thieves. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty occupied the Central Plains and once supported a puppet emperor, called Liu Yu. "National name Daqi...", including Dr. Ren Professor Meng expounded this period of history. It turned out that Liu Yuqi, who was originally a magistrate of the Southern Song Dynasty, was appointed as the lord of the State of Qi after surrendering to the Jin people.
Although the Daqi regime is a grass-scale team, it also needs to be operated by finance and taxation as the starting capital. Unfortunately, the area under the jurisdiction of the pseudo-Qi has been plundered by the golden soldiers many times**, and the ten rooms and nine empty peasants and merchants have suffered great damage. The tax can't be collected
At the same time, the pseudo-Qi's master of the Golden State also faced a problem. Is it also a problem to be too rich? Indeed, whether the State of Jin plundered the Northern Song Dynasty or asked the Southern Song Dynasty to pay tribute to the New Year's coins, it was gold and silver.
The problem is in gold and silver. Because [China] is not rich in silver and gold, which is different from the West. [China] has always used copper as currency since the pre-Qin Dynasty, that is, the copper standard currency system.
So although the Jin Dynasty guarded the golden mountains and silver mountains, it was not exchanged for goods in the trade with the Southern Song Dynasty.
And the pseudo-Qi Liu Yu not only has no copper money, but also no gold, silver and precious metal money." So this person who has been stealing since he was a child remembered such a way out of tomb robbery.
As a result, Liu Yu set up a "sand-taping officer". Such an official organization for tomb robbery first excavated the imperial mausoleum of the Northern Song Dynasty as an example to ease the shortage of military spending. Liu Yu's army also began to imitate and dig ancient tombs by themselves.
However, the scope of Liu Yu's activities has always been in the current territory of Shandong Province. Now he has also found "Sand-tao officials" in Henan Province, which also adds a detailed evidence to the study of the pseudo-Qi regime in those years.
What puzzles Professor Meng is that official thieves have always been violent tomb robbers. Why did this sand-tling official die here, and there is no trace of excavation around him? Is it possible that Liu Yu's conscience found that he retreated?
There are too many mysteries left over from ancient times. Professor Meng was puzzled after thinking for a long time. Finally, he could only shake his head and put away the bronze medal.
This tomb is more than 20 meters long. After passing this trap, there is a trap in front of it, but the board laid on it has long been rotten, and the trap has lost its unexpected effect, so that everyone can easily avoid it.
"Teacher, this... should be a broken dragon stone, right?" At the end of the corridor, a huge horizontal stone stood in front of everyone.
