Chapter 443: Ordinary yet amazing tomb

Pei Miao's performance today completely convinced the three team members. Even Zhang Xiaohong's attitude towards Pei Miao was much better. Although she still refused to accept Pei Miao, she already knew in her heart that Pei Miao had real skills. As soon as he arrived at the cemetery, he found and dug out the tomb door, and guessed the type of the top stone behind the door. These two points alone surpassed her.

After they finished eating, they went back to the tent to rest. The two girls Zhao Jing and Zhang Xiaohong shared a tent, and Pei Miao naturally shared a tent with Li Yong and Xiang Yuanfan.

That night, Pei Miao couldn't fall asleep, Li Yong snored, and Xiang Yuanfan grinded his teeth. too big.

Hearing the sound of teeth grinding and snoring, Pei Miao tossed and turned, like baking a big cake, I don't know how long it had passed, picked up the phone and looked, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, Pei Miao sat up depressed, looked at the two who were soundly asleep, He sighed helplessly: "How can I be able to meet you two crouching dragons and phoenixes at the same time."

When it was almost dawn, the pair of crouching dragon and phoenix chicks finally calmed down, and Pei Miao fell asleep.

When Pei Miao woke up, he picked up his phone and saw that it was already 10:30 in the morning. He hurriedly got up and didn't have time to wash up, so he put on his clothes and went straight to the cemetery.

When I came to the cemetery, I saw Zhang Xiaohong and other team members were there, as well as several workers wearing hard hats. The pit they dug yesterday had been enlarged several times. The door hangs up.

Pei Miao came to Zhang Xiaohong and the others, and said, "The door has been removed, why didn't you call me?"

Zhang Xiaohong glanced at him, and said: "Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, how dare we bother you, you usually like to sleep in so much?"

Pei Miao wanted to quibble, no, it should be said to be an explanation, but he looked at Li Yong and Xiang Yuanfan, and in the end he could only shake his head, forget it, let's save some face for this pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes.

A door was opened, and Zhang Xiaohong couldn't wait to jump down the pit, wanting to enter the tomb.

The engineering team leader wearing a red hard hat stopped her and said, "Leader Zhang, let's go in after our construction is over."

Zhang Xiaohong frowned and said, "Isn't it possible to go in?"

The engineering leader said: "Isn't there another door that hasn't been removed? Since half of it has been removed, the other half must not be removed."

Zhang Xiaohong said: "When we go in, you can dismantle it again, and it won't hinder you."

"Safety first." The engineering team leader said, "We are under construction, and no one can get close to it. If there is a safety accident, I can't be responsible. So, Team Leader Zhang, please forgive me."

Pei Miao also persuaded Zhang Xiaohong: "The tomb is here, we can't escape, let's wait a little longer."

If it was before, Zhang Xiaohong would definitely hate Pei Miao, but after all, the tomb door was discovered by Pei Miao, and she had already seen the rock on the seesaw behind the door, so she was sure that Pei Miao's guess was correct, so she also agreed with Pei Miao Miao's strength is not as strong as Pei Miao's, and she nodded in agreement: "Okay, you guys should move quickly. It took more than two hours to tear down a door, which is too slow."

The engineering leader smiled and said: "This speed is already very fast. Don't worry, the first door is relatively slow. Now that the workers can go inside to operate, the other half of the doors will be faster, up to an hour."

Zhang Xiaohong raised her wrist to look at her watch, waved her hand and said, "Continue with the construction."

After she finished speaking, she led the team back to the edge of the big pit.

After more than 40 minutes, the other door was also removed, and the tomb door was directly loaded into a flatbed truck with a crane and transported to the local cultural relics management bureau in Luoyang.

Next, prepare to enter the tomb.

The workers have all been withdrawn, and now outside the tomb gate, except for the archaeological team, there are only police officers.

Zhang Xiaohong and the others had already brought all the equipment, set off, entered the tomb door, turned on the flashlight to illuminate the front, and saw that this was a long tomb passage.

The tomb passages are all made of bluestone bricks. Such bluestone bricks are specially used for building the Great Wall. It can be seen that the identity of the owner of this tomb must be extraordinary.

However, the structure of this tomb seems to be too simple. The tomb passage is not long, only 17 meters, and it ends with another door.

Fortunately, there was no stone behind this door. The three boys pushed the door together and opened it. Suddenly, a musty smell came over their faces, and they all covered their noses.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiaohong said, "Test the oxygen."

Xiang Yuanfan picked up the oxygen meter and started to measure the oxygen. The instrument showed that the oxygen content was low, but the problem was not serious.

Enter the second door, walk three meters forward, and there is an empty stone room. In the middle of the stone room, there is a half-meter-high platform. It turned out to be a seated statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the Divine Beast of Diting was prostrate beside it.

When they saw such a big blue and white porcelain Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Truth Statue, they all exclaimed "Wow!"

Even Pei Miao was amazed. It's not that he has never seen blue and white porcelain in the shape of a human figure, but there are relatively few ones that are one-to-one in life size. Moreover, if you look carefully at the workmanship of Ksitigarbha and Di Ting, they are lifelike. Looking at the glaze color, it turns out to be Qing Dynasty porcelain. Blue and white porcelain from official kilns during the Qianlong period.

Zhao Jing stared at the two blue-and-white porcelain statues for a long time and asked, "Is this the official kiln craftsmanship of the Qianlong period?"

Li Yong said: "Very similar."

Xiang Yuanfan also said: "I also feel very similar."

After all, Zhang Xiaohong's level is relatively high. After studying it carefully for a while, she said firmly: "It can't be wrong, it is the official kiln craftsmanship of the Qianlong Year."

Pei Miao nodded slowly, and he could see that this was definitely the craftsmanship of the official kiln in the Qianlong period. It really couldn't be more authentic. Now he was very puzzled, why the official kiln in the Qianlong period made such a large blue and white porcelain Ksitigarbha and Listening to the beast, and it was placed in this seemingly simple tomb.

In the next second, Xiang Yuanfan asked Pei Miao's question: "What kind of tomb is this? There is actually a blue and white porcelain Ksitigarbha statue in an official kiln. Even an emperor, there seems to be no such precedent."

Zhang Xiaohong didn't know how to answer for a while, so she could only say, "This question should be known after seeing the tomb owner's coffin."

They looked around with flashlights and found that there were three passages, one on the left and one in the middle.

Zhang Xiaohong said: "The ones on the left and right are the ear chambers, and the one in the middle should be the main chamber. Li Yong, you and Zhao Jing go to the left ear chamber first, Xiang Yuanfan, Pei Miao, you two go to the right ear chamber, and I go to the main chamber ..."

Pei Miao interrupted her and said, "Sorry, it's not easy for you to assign me. I want to go to the main tomb."

Zhang Xiaohong was a little upset when she heard the words, but she had no choice but to say: "Then Xiang Yuanfan, go to the ear room on the right by yourself, be careful yourself, turn on the real-time intercom all of you, and call immediately if you encounter any situation."

"Yes!" The three players agreed in unison.

Splitting up, Pei Miao and Zhang Xiaohong went to the main tomb.

Entering the passage, there is a downward staircase. The staircase is about three meters deep. When you reach the end soon, there is still a stone door. This stone door is not very thick. Pei Miao pushed the stone door open by himself.

Zhang Xiaohong took a flashlight and looked inside, and saw a coffin lying quietly in the middle of the tomb, and she walked over quickly.

Pei Miao also followed in, and looked around with a flashlight, only to see that the stone room was still very empty, with a high platform in the middle, with stone steps on the high platform, and the coffin was on the platform.

And this coffin is very unusual, colorful and colorful. Looking closely, Zhang Xiaohong exclaimed: "My God, the copper body and filigree enamel coffin!"

Pei Miao also hurried forward, stepped onto the high platform, took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp, it really was a cloisonné enamel coffin, but it was not a copper body, but a gold body.

Pei Miao reminded: "Take a closer look, is this wire copper?"

Zhang Xiaohong carefully looked at the metal wires exposed outside the enamel, and covered her mouth and exclaimed: "It's gold!"

There were inquiries from other team members on the real-time intercom. Pei Miao explained the situation here, and several team members also screamed in surprise.

Zhang Xiaohong carefully studied the golden cloisonné enamel coffin, while other team members also reported their situation.

The two ear chambers on the left and right are empty, and there are traces of some utensils placed on the ground, but those utensils are all gone. It is easy to know that they were taken away by tomb robbers.

On the contrary, Zhao Jing was careful. She saw a stone platform similar to a dressing table in the tomb on the left, and deduced that the owner of the tomb was a woman.

As soon as the identity of the owner of the tomb was mentioned, Pei Miao used the All-God Domain to see through the coffin, he wanted to see what was inside the coffin.

Pei Miao's omniscience domain began to see through the entire coffin, first through the coffin, and saw the coffin inside, Pei Miao couldn't help being speechless, the coffin inside was actually made of golden nanmu, from this he could roughly infer that the owner of the tomb I'm afraid that the relationship with Emperor Qianlong is unusual. After all, Emperor Qianlong loved golden nanmu and listed it as a tribute. Only the elderly can use it, and the folks can't use it. The ____ does not work.

Continue to look inside, and finally saw the inside of the coffin, and saw a highly decomposed mummy lying inside. It can be seen from the clothes and shoes that this is the corpse of a woman. The teeth of the corpse are complete and neat, and it can be judged that The woman was young when she died.

The coffin showed signs of being pried, and there were no funerary objects, jewelry or other valuables in the coffin. It didn't take much thinking to know that this must be a masterpiece of tomb robbers.

However, in addition to the corpse, there was another thing in the coffin, which was a wooden sign, which was pressed under the body. This wooden sign was about one foot long and three inches wide. The bottom was square and the top was pointed. There are several large Manchu scripts written on the front, and a lot of Manchu scripts are densely written on the back.

Pei Miao read carefully and finally knew the identity of the tomb owner.

There are several Manchu characters on the front of the wooden sign, which translates to Li Ying, the beloved daughter of the Qing emperor.

The Manchu text on the back narrates a short story. It is roughly about that when Emperor Qianlong visited the people, he met a girl named Li Su'e in Luoyang. He was lucky to be with her. Then Qianlong lifted his pants and left. Li Su'e had a big belly. , gave birth to a daughter, named Li Ying.

The following story is similar to Xia Ziwei's search for her father, except that Li Ying's luck was not very good, and she died in the process of finding her father.

When Emperor Qianlong heard about the incident, he sent people to investigate first. He learned that after he left that year, Li Su'e suffered a lot and eventually died of illness, and his beloved daughter Li Ying failed to see him alive. However, the place where Li Su'e was buried could not be found. In the end, Qianlong could only bury Li Ying generously with a lot of funerary objects. Well, the scale of this tomb is relatively small and relatively simple.

Although there is no mention of Emperor Qianlong on the wooden plaque, the words on this wooden plaque are written by Qianlong himself. Pei Miao knows Qianlong's handwriting, whether it is in Chinese or Manchu, it is definitely Qianlong.

So far, this tomb can be regarded as thoroughly explored.

Bored, Pei Miao began to observe the dome of the tomb to see where the tomb robbers made holes.

Soon, he discovered the robbery hole. On the left side of the dome, there was a hole with a diameter of about [-] centimeters. The ground below was scattered with dust, and the broken bluestone bricks had been kicked to the corner. Filling, the stick paper is the soil, supported by dense wooden sticks, the soil has a point of strength, and it will not fall.

After a while, the other three team members rushed over. When they saw the golden body and cloisonné enamel coffin, they all exclaimed and were overjoyed. This was their first time going to the tomb, and they could have such a big harvest. not happy.

After a long time, Pei Miao reminded: "Leader Zhang, the blue and white porcelain Ksitigarbha outside and the golden cloisonné enamel coffin are both important discoveries. With the few of us, if we want to get these things out, I'm afraid If it’s not enough, it’s even a bit difficult to open the coffin, let’s apply to Dean Zhang for support.”

Zhang Xiaohong thought for a while, nodded and said, "I'll contact Dean Zhang right away."

After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone to make a call, but there was no signal, so she had no choice but to go outside the tomb to make a call.

Pei Miao was bored and decided to visit the left and right ear chambers, so she walked out of the main tomb and went to the left ear chamber first.

There is indeed a stone dressing table in the left ear room. There is a lot of dust on the dressing table. It can be seen that there were a lot of things on the dressing table, but now it is empty, all of which were stolen by the tomb robbers.

Pei Miao couldn't help rejoicing that the blue and white porcelain Ksitigarbha King and the coffin were too big for the tomb robbers to remove, and even if they did, they couldn't be transported and traded. After all, the target was too big.

It can also be seen from this that these tomb robbers are very smart and not blindly greedy. They know what can and cannot be taken, so they are veterans.

Pei Miao came out of the left ear room and was about to go to the right ear room. However, when he passed the stone room with the statue of Ksitigarbha in the middle, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked the blue and white porcelain Ksitigarbha yet with his full attention. image, so he unfolded the domain of his mind to look at the blue and white porcelain statue of Ksitigarbha.

Seeing this, Pei Miao was stunned. There was nothing wrong with the Ksitigarbha Statue and the Statue of Truth Listening, but there was actually a mechanism under the stone platform.
