Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

The stone statue has a baby hidden in its stomach?

"its not right."

"Why is there something wrong with the sound? This is clearly carved out of a single piece of stone. How did that thing get hidden in? It's really weird."

I looked at the front, back, left, and right, and when I squatted down and looked up, I finally found the tricks in it.

I saw that there was a hole in a very hidden place under the buttocks of the stone statue. It may have been plugged with wood before, and the original wood had weathered and rotted for too long.

The hole is not big, three fingers wide, about the size of an egg.

I reached in with my fingers, dunked twice, and suddenly felt a cold, hard object.

I adjusted the angle back and forth several times before taking the thing out.

This is a bronze square box, the upper and lower covers are tightly seamed, and a lot of lotus patterns are engraved on its surface. Because of the high tin content, the overall color is whitish, and a thin layer of green rust has grown on the surface.

I opened it carefully, and suddenly saw a square cinnabar wooden sign.

After thousands of years, the remaining cinnabar on the wooden sign is still as red as chicken blood, and the two rows of knife-cut characters are clearly visible.

I frowned and tried to read it silently twice, but found that I couldn't read it fluently.

"There are Bi characters, Qian characters, and various traditional Chinese weighted numbers, etc."

After watching for a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in my mind.

No wonder it doesn't read well!It turned out that this was a letter from Hades engraved on a wooden sign!There is a saying in this stuff industry that it is for "ghosts" to read, and living people cannot read it, so the order of writing is all messed up.

I did some research and found that the correct pronunciation of these lines should be like this.

"I spent enough money, 850 yuan, to buy a whole hectare of Yongye field from farmer Hu Wang, and used it to collect the bones of [-] dead in the Border War. In the year [-] of Xianqing, a tomb was built. When repairing the tomb, I will leave this record to tell the King of Hell, it’s over.”

In the past, "bi la" means to end.

A lot of useful information has been revealed right now.

First of all, the date of this tomb is the Xianqing period in the late Tang Dynasty, to be precise, it is 654 AD, which is almost the same as what I inferred before.

Not only that one ancient tomb, there are absolutely undiscovered tombs in Nuanquan area of ​​Yinchuan, and they are not small in scale.

From the geographical point of view, that area was not far from the living areas of Xianbei people and Turkic people. There should be a war between the two sides, and thousands of people died. Li bought this piece of land and used it to build tombs and mausoleums and collect the bones of the war dead.

This centralized burial method is like the "Louze Garden" in the Song Dynasty. The difference is that the buried people in the Louze Garden are ordinary people, and this kind of centralized burial is all soldiers, so it will definitely produce weapons. Armor, bows, tokens, that sort of thing.

Taking the tomb dug by the Yeluzi group as the basic center point and radiating to the surroundings, how big was the area of ​​the tomb group at that time?

Because it is clearly written in the documents, I bought a hectare of land, I dipped my hands in spit, wrote and drew on the ground, and it was quickly calculated.

We use hectares in modern times, and one hectare is approximately equal to 100 ares, or 1 square meters.

The "area" used in ancient times, one hectare is equal to about 50 mu, which is 60 square feet, and it is more than 680 meters when converted into meters.

In other words, the area of ​​the ancient tombs around Nuanquan is about 700 meters, which is not a small area.

The next morning, carrying my bag, I came to the crime scene in Nuanquan again.

Thinking of the thrilling scene last night, I couldn't help but lament that Li Fei was really ruthless. He killed those people just like killing a few pigs. Even if I was given a gun at that time, I couldn't do what he did. Killed a person.

Xia Feng came out, looking at the endless desolate scene around me, I walked to the robber's cave.

The location here is remote, and there are very few people and cars passing by. It takes a few tens of miles to the north to reach the desert.

Seeing the people around me, I picked up the Luoyang shovel and dug around with the Robber's Cave as the center.

I don't need to go down to see the tomb that Ye Luzi's group of four went down. It must be clean inside. They took everything.Their Luoyang shovel is far inferior to my Luoyang shovel in terms of feel, weight, and sharpness.

I dug nine exploration pits with a depth of eight meters around in one breath. Starting from the seventh exploration pit, there was something.

There are some red pottery fragments mixed in the yellow mud brought up from the ground. There are only two possibilities for seeing such red pottery fragments. Either there is a cultural layer underground, or there are ancient tombs from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

In the past, some people went to the countryside to collect this kind of red pottery, and paid 50 yuan per catty. The people who collected it were actually tomb robbers dressed up by Qiao Zhuang.

After the tomb robbers collect it, they will ask them: "My fellow, where did you pick it up?"

The villagers said where I picked it up, and at night, the tomb robbers took Luoyang shovels to that place to explore the pits, and they used this trick to make a lot of ancient tombs and made a lot of money.

I put a stone at the place where I found the terracotta shards, which was like a mark, and then I asked Li Fei to come out for lunch at noon, and Li Ping also came to eat.

Before the food was served, Li Ping raised her glass and said, "Come on! For a better life in the future! Let's have a toast first!"

I smiled and said stop drinking. You were drunk after just two beers last night.

Li Ping stuck out her tongue: "You look down on my drinking capacity, don't you? I didn't play well that day! If I play well, none of you will be my opponent!"

Li Fei looked at Li Ping with doting eyes.

Li Fei had KTVs, Internet cafes, and billiard halls in Yinchuan, Yulin, Zhongwei, and Ankang back then. At his peak, even Jin Fenghuang didn't dare to offend him easily. I guess no one dared to bully his sister at that time.

When eating, Li Ping drank with a straw, and slightly hooked me with her foot under the table, and I also lightly kicked him.

"Sister, I'm out of cigarettes, go buy a pack of cigarettes for me." Li Fei said.

Pushing Li Ping away, Li Fei and I drank the wine in our cups in one gulp.

"Brother Fei, have you dealt with that matter?"

"Well, don't worry, I have experience in this kind of work. The ashes of this kind of alien are cremated and scattered in the river. Even the gods can't find a trace. I didn't have time to ask yesterday, why did these people mess with you? ?”

I said: "It's a problem with the interpersonal relationship in our business. It's troublesome to explain. I took a closer look at the batch of things yesterday. It sold for less than a few hundred thousand. The whole big pottery horse can sell for a little money. I guess ten thousand." Anyone who wants it will come.”

Li Fei said with a smile: "10,000+ is not a lot of money for nothing. Now I only earn [-] to [-] from seafood for a year."

I nodded and asked again: "Brother Fei, do you want to stand up? Do you dare to vote?"

"Hehe, what I said, I don't dare, I have more than a dozen lives on my back."

I went over and sat on Li Ping's seat and whispered: "There are at least four Tang Dynasty ancient tombs in Nuanquan Wasteland. The area is not small. I can't do it alone. The two of us can work together. As long as something comes out, I can turn things into cash in the shortest time, and we’ll split the money [-]-[-] afterwards.”

"Really?"

"100%, absolutely true!"

Li Fei lit a cigarette and asked: "How many people do you want? When do you plan to do it?"

"I need at least three people. These three people must be trusted! If there are all the people, we can do it tonight! I'll step on it in the morning, and just dig in there!"

"No problem, I'll find a reliable person, do you need any tools?"

I hurriedly said: "Most of them are ready-made, we can use them directly, but to be on the safe side, it is best to buy two headlights and use two walkie-talkies with good signals to communicate with each other."

"What are you two talking about?"

Behind us, Li Ping suddenly poked her head over, holding a cigarette in her hand, and she didn't see when she came back from buying cigarettes.

"Nothing." I said.

"Liar, I heard you say that you want to find a few people to do the work? Do you think I can do it?"

I shook my head: "You should stop meddling in things between men. It's fine if you just run your little garbage business."

"Talk about me again! Believe it or not, I'll let my brother deal with you!"

"Brother! Look at Xiang Yunfeng bullying me!"

Li Fei didn't speak.

He leaned back on the chair, raised his head and slowly exhaled smoke towards the ceiling, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
