The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

?

How many of the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty were buried in this sky full of yellow sand!

At the beginning, Quli, Qiuci, Gumo, Wensu, Weitou, Shule and other oasis cities all had more developed agriculture or animal husbandry. They had one thing in common: these oasis cities and states were all built in the downstream deltas or coastal areas of the river. Rujingjueguo is located in the delta of the lower reaches of the Niya River, and the end country is located on the alluvial plain along the Cheerchen River...

The agricultural water of these oasis cities mainly relies on river irrigation: the eastern and southern edges of the Taklimakan Desert have loess layers formed during geological periods.

The loess layer has a strong water-bearing capacity, so the tails of rivers mostly accumulate as swamp lakes in the loess area, thus forming an oasis.

The emergence of human settlements and towns on the oasis is the choice and use of the natural environment by humans, and it also damages the natural ecological environment in this area. In order to survive, people in the oasis will unknowingly change themselves Slowly buried in the grave!

At that time, the various production activities carried out by the ancients were carried out on the loess layer, and the loess layer at the edge of the desert was generally relatively thin. After long-term cultivation and various other production activities, such as ditch repairing, tree planting, building houses, Cities, tombs... often destroy the loess layer, make the ground surface fragmented,

The terrible thing is that this place is on the edge of the "death sea": under the loess layer, there is silt that is hundreds of meters deep!

When the loess layer is destroyed, the river water is prone to seepage, and a large amount of river water seeps into the underground silt layer, thereby reducing the river water runoff and causing the river to shrink.

Another serious consequence of the destruction of the loess layer is the exposure of underground silt, which will fly and move under the action of wind, forming mobile sand dunes.

Once the silt is exposed, it will be the devil, and the sand dunes will grow bigger and bigger and swallow everything you encounter, including oasis and civilization!

"In history, the extinction of many oasis city states in the surrounding areas of the Taklimakan Desert was almost all related to changes in the natural environment, in addition to man-made warfare factors, that is, the disappearance of rivers and the desertification of cultivated land. The process of survival and demise also illustrates this point!"

The two drove to the cemetery. Zhang Nan took out the **** and axe that he used well from the car, and Guan Xingquan followed it with an engineer shovel and a pole basket.

The two of them went down to the big pit, and Zhang Nan paused on the loess surface with a pick and axe, and the sound he made was no longer a complete solid soil echo. It is estimated that there are at most fifty or sixty centimeters below the coffin board of the tomb.

In the past two thousand years, the wind and sand have wiped away the thick layer of soil on the tomb. Originally, this large mound should be higher.

Otherwise, they may dig a grave for a few days.

If one person uses a hatchet, the other should be a little farther away to avoid accidental injury.

Guan Xingquan didn't come to join in the fun, just stood by the pit and watched Zhang Nan work.

Knowing the general situation of the coffin below, Zhang Nan did not adopt the method of "punching holes" by ordinary tomb robbers. Instead, he adopted the method of "moving mountains" when digging foundations on construction sites. He planned to remove all the soil above and remove the coffin. The cover is completely open.

This is also the most savage method used by the tomb thief-to completely expose the entire tomb, as long as the things inside are useful, you will not miss it!

However, Zhang Nan did this not because he was vicious, but because his conscience found that he planned to leave a relatively complete "home" for the owner of the tomb-no one wanted a big hole in the roof of his prince, and it was probably the same for those who died.

Shaking off the arm, the completely dry loess is a bit hard, but because it contains a small amount of sand, a sharp **** can lift a large piece of loess every time.

The length of three meters, from the beginning to the end in one breath, a layer of loess more than 20 centimeters thick was loosened.

Sweating profusely, took out a big cup of water and poured a big mouthful of salty bamboo shoots and dried vegetable soup, and said to the side: "Brother Guan, it's your turn."

Speaking of stepping onto the pit, sitting on the edge of the pit as a dead dog!

Guan Xingquan went down into the pit, and the engineers shoveled soil into the frame, and left with full load.

This action is absolutely quick, and it seems that in the army, he has definitely trained an excellent local work skill.

Half of the loess is taken away, and the other half falls outside the pit. It will be useful later.

From more than seven o'clock to nine o'clock, the sun is about to set in an hour: two box-shaped coffins are exposed in front of the two people: the Gobi is dry, both 1,700 years old, and the coffins are still well preserved.

If it were in the south of the Yangtze River, if the coffin of this age hadn't been protected by the green plaster, even the wood scum would have been rotten out!

"God bless, I hope things are in there!"

Zhang Nan was talking about the gods, and Guan Xingquan heard it and said, "If the thing you are looking for is inside, shall we leave tomorrow?"

"Well! Who wants to stay more in this ghost place!"

The two of them were very ashamed at this meeting, and they had each filled a little Huoxiang Zhengqi water just now to avoid heatstroke.

The vast Gobi, two Jiangnan people who want to stay here more.

Take out the "pig mouth masks" used in the two mines from the bag set aside, and put them on each-although I haven't heard of any viruses and bacteria in the tomb of Niya that have not died after thousands of years, but Just in case, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

You must know that Zhang Nan even prepared a gas mask when he was a tutor in the Central Plains and the North. In the south, there is no need at all-the tombs are full of soil, at most there is a special, unspeakable smell of soil, and these special equipment are not needed.

There is nothing wrong with being careful.

One person also put on a pair of rubber gloves. This is not to prevent viruses or corpse poison, but to fear that sweat on his hands will damage the antique that has been isolated from the air for nearly two thousand years.

Zhang Nan's goal is very fragile, it will be damaged by the sun, and the salt should not be touched, otherwise there will be no place to cry in case of crying!

Guan Xingquan used a crowbar for repairing tires and Zhang Nan used a **** and axe. The two of them knocked open the coffin cover in threes or twos~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It was a bit ethical and didn’t directly smash the spliced ​​coffin cover. It's sloppy.

"Wow!"

When the coffin cover was thrown to the side, Guan Xingquan couldn't help but yelled softly.

There is basically no dirt or sand in the coffin, and it is very clean. A supine corpse is covered with brocade and silk, dressed in brocade robe, brocade pants, covered with brocade quilt, chain link shoes and halo pattern wool boots, bright colors and clear patterns!

"Mom, it's not!"

Guan Xingquan was very excited, but Zhang Nan was very upset: I dug the wrong place, this tomb is not!

"These have been for nearly two thousand years, right? They are still so well preserved!" Guan Xingquan said, when he heard Zhang Nan cursing-mother, "Isn't it what you were looking for? These are useless?"

Zhang Nan took a large opaque air-tight drying box from the side, and handed a sealed bag to Guan Xingquan. He pointed to the piece of brocade quilt covering the mummy and said: "This piece of brocade quilt was the brocade quilt of the Shu estate at that time. It is dyed and woven by mulberry silk, and it is a miracle that it can be preserved for nearly two thousand years." (To be continued.)
