Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

The millennium is the golden three years in the tomb robbery industry, and Xi'an and Baoji have always been the hardest hit areas.

A large number of cultural relics flowed out, and many ordinary peasants suddenly became rich overnight.

It was my first time to Xi'an at that time, and the only impression I had of the city was mutton steamed buns. I didn't even know that a large-scale archeology had been done three years ago at the sulfuric acid factory.

Jiang Yuan led me and Bean Sprouts to the east factory area, and the west factory area was newly built two years ago. Before the west factory area was built, that is, three years ago, the Xi'an archaeological team discovered a large number of Tang Dynasty tombs there. .

There are two kinds of tombs in total, earth-cave tombs and brick-chambered tombs. The archaeological team numbered these tombs as M, with a total of 9 from M- to M10. Many things were unearthed from the tombs, such as pottery full-body statues of heavenly kings, which are weird. Scary tomb-suppressing beasts, pottery portraits of the twelve births, large pottery camels, black gauze hats, square pendants, gold belts, chariot harnesses, round manacles, thallium tails, copper coins (Kaiyuan Tongbao) and so on.

During the archaeology in the west factory area three years ago, those experts made a cognitive mistake. These ten tombs were actually burial pits.

The real main tomb was not found at that time, and I missed it perfectly. Just like the Sanxingdui discovered decades ago, a new pit was discovered in Sanxingdui recently.

Why would the professional archaeological team miss it?

I guess it's a combination of two reasons.

natural disasters and man-made.

Natural disasters are earthquakes, and man-made is anti-theft (the ancients deliberately concealed them).

The ten accompanying tombs in the west factory area have similar specifications and standards. They are all slope ladder-style tomb passages with oval patios and knife-back passages. The distance between each tomb is several meters to tens of meters, forming a complete tomb group. These burial groups face each other somewhere in the east.

That direction is the main tomb.

How did I find out specifically, what is so awesome about the main tomb?

Listen to me, make sure you haven't seen it on the news.

......

"Let's go, don't you want to go?"

I pretended I didn't see anything and quickly passed through.

We brushed shoulders with this group.

"What's the matter, Fengzi, is there a problem?" Bean sprouts saw that my expression was wrong.

Seeing those three people walking away with their bags, I turned my head and said: "You wait here for me, I will go back as soon as I go."

Bean Sprouts wondered what's the matter, did we get discovered?

"I'll go and have a look, and I'll tell you more about it when I come back, and lend me your monkey hat to wear."

Jiang Yuan gave me the hat, and I trotted all the way to catch up.

The identities of these three people were unknown, but because they were wearing work clothes issued by the sulfuric acid plant in winter, they did not attract attention along the way. They chatted with each other like fellow workers after get off work and left the sulfuric acid plant.

Passing by the duty room, I took a look. Old man Ma was sitting cross-legged on the bed, the sheets were lifted, he was eating pork head meat with chopsticks and sipping a small wine, and he was tsk tsk.

I put on Jiang Yuan's monkey hat and followed all the way. After seeing the three of them walk into a small restaurant, I went in too.

The boss in the room was dozing off watching TV. When he saw a guest, he quickly got up and asked, "I'm off work, what do you want to eat today?"

The leading middle-aged man rubbed his hands and said, "Damn it, it's freezing to death, Lao Li! Give us some hard food!"

"Okay! How about stewed ribs?"

"Grass, what kind of tough dish are pork ribs? Give us a fish to bite sheep! In a big pot, put an extra catty of mutton, and add ten sesame seed cakes and a bottle of Xifeng. It's fucking cold today."

"Okay, the big pot of fish bites the sheep, you guys warm it up, I'll make it for everyone, half an hour."

"What do you eat?" The boss was holding the accounting book, and only then did he see me.

I said bring me a bowl of mutton noodles.

The boss said he got it, and then he plunged into the back kitchen and started tinkling.

"Brother Niu, can we still make it a year ago?"

The middle-aged man called Brother Niu was wiping his chopsticks with a piece of paper. He threw the paper into the trash can and said, "Tumor, you, Brother Niu, are you worried about my work? We have been working in the factory for half a year, right? "

"Well... yes, I came in May, and it's been more than half a year."

"That's it. The time will come soon. The bottom of that place has collapsed. The god knows how deep it is. It's impossible to get in. The deputy factory manager asked me to do it. Next week, the east factory area will be refurbished. Sometimes I turn on the hook machine at night, and the whole fucking thing is dug out."

"Cough..cough".

One coughed on purpose, and the other two looked back at me.

I sat in the corner wearing a monkey hat, scratched my head, and pretended to be a passerby.

The three continued talking.

"Brother Niu, you are really a cow. The deputy factory manager is an old woman, and you can do it with such a shabby look? You are a calf opening up wasteland, so tough."

"Fuck you, what am I doing for? Isn't it to gain the trust of the factory and get the job of operating hook machines on the night shift?"

When the wine was served, the glasses were rinsed, and each of them poured half a glass.

"Come on, Tuzi, for Brother Niu's dedication, let's toast Brother Niu."

Brother Niu nodded, and the three toasted each other.

During the conversation, a steaming big pot of fish bite sheep was served on the table. The fish bite sheep is actually big grass carp stewed mutton balls.

They ate and drank for an hour during this meal, and I eavesdropped on them, during which they accidentally exchanged some words.

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts listen to the way.

These words must not be understood by ordinary people, but I can understand them.

According to my analysis, these three people do not belong to the Northern faction, but should be civil guerrillas. They have no backing or intelligence. They should be villagers near Tongchuan. The other two are under the command of that man named Niu Ge.

Some of the words mentioned in their chat.

"It's collapsed, it's too deep, eight poles can't reach it, it's a big pit."

I thought to myself, "Isn't the tomb under the sulfuric acid factory Jiang Yuan's ancestor? How deep is it buried?"

Eight poles are not enough...

Eight poles refer to the length of the Luoyang shovel. One pole is divided into three sections, and in some places it is divided into four sections. One pole is about 4 meters. Generally, when exploring the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, you can only receive about four poles at most. Do not move.

If this brother Niu is telling the truth, the depth has exceeded 32 meters....

You know, people in the tomb robbery industry say that the Shang and Zhou Dynasties are deep pits. This so-called deep pit is only 20 meters deep, and the archaeological team can't pick up such a long shovel.

After the meal, the three of them checked out and left. I went out to have a look. They entered the staff dormitory of the sulfuric acid plant on the west side of the road.

These three are employees of the factory on the surface, but they are actually grave robbers secretly.

"Boss, I want to ask you something. Do you know what the names of the three people were eating just now?"

The boss was clearing the table, when he heard this, he replied to me: "They? Old cows, tumors, and a bitch."

"A worker in the factory? Isn't it cheap for you to eat a sheep?"

"Yeah, it's not cheap, but people are rich, so they eat like this every day. Yesterday it was stewed goose in an iron pot. It's better than that."

"Okay, I can't compare, then you are busy, let's go."

"Come again when you have time, young man."

Quietly back to the factory, the old man Ma in the duty room was a little drunk, I saw that he was half leaning on the bed, wandering in Xi'an.

"Where have you been, Fengzi? I've been waiting for two fucking hours."

I said there is something new, let's go.

Running to the north of the east area of ​​the sulfuric acid plant, Jiang Yuan pointed to a red brick building and said, "It used to be there. Later, the factory bought a generator and built a house. Grandpa sometimes burns paper offerings behind the house. "

"This thing will work?" I took out the walkie-talkie and threw it to her.

"You still have a walkie-talkie, I can use it, hello."

I said don't shout, you just watch outside, and if anyone passes by, call us, do you hear me?

Jiang Yuan said that I know, if anyone passes by, I will call you.

"Ah."

"Let's go bud boy."

"Let's explore the pit to see how deep it is."
