In the next few days, under the guidance of Grandpa, the archaeological team carried out the work of dismantling the door.
Grandpa found the flexible stone bar that night and immediately had someone take it out.
After finding the flexible stone, the other steps are relatively simple.
It's nothing more than some sequence.
Then some stone strips are stuck too tightly or the gravity given by the stone strips above is too great, making it more difficult to pull them out.
Another point is that these stone strips have to be put back on, so you need to be very careful.
Moreover, this gate does not need to be completely dismantled.
It is only necessary to dismantle the one-meter-high layer of stone under the tile roof.
As long as this layer is pulled away, someone should be able to get in, and then remove the piece of stone behind the door.
The stone pillars were pulled up along the door so that the door could be opened.
At that time, I asked my grandfather why I had to help them when Lao Chen was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
Grandpa said that we took over this matter from the beginning.
Everything must have a beginning and an end.
Even if it is not our fault, we insist on finishing it, at least we have a clear conscience.
Another reason is that if the tomb is excavated quickly, they will not bother us anymore.
It will be easier if it is completed earlier.
Besides, the bones of Long Python and the ancestors are still in Lao Chen's hands.
If we don't cooperate, then At that time, if the grandson changes his mind, he may not pay it back.
It took five days to dismantle the door, and then Brother Bing, who entered the first team, spent another full day to pull open the stone pillar on top of the door.
The length of this stone pillar is nine feet nine, which is nearly three meters, and its thickness is three feet three, which is one meter.
There is indeed a small courtyard between the mausoleum gate and the tomb gate, but there is nothing there.
The stone pillars of the top gate are placed just right.
When you tilt it down, you don’t feel anything.
But after you fall to the ground, it is completely embedded into the concave surface inside. groove.
The grooves on the ground correspond to the grooves on the tomb door, and the grooves on the tomb door are connected together like the frame of a picture frame.
After the top door stone pillar is lowered, half of it is in the groove.
Half of it is outside the groove, just enough to hold up the two doors.
Going inside is the tomb gate, which is smaller and not as grand as the mausoleum gate.
The shape of the tomb gate is square with a side length of six feet six, which is nearly two meters.
The door is a stone door, but there are many stone patterns carved on it, among which the cloud pattern is the main one.
Among the clouds in the middle, two dragon heads emerge.
The mouth of the dragon head contains a golden ring, which is the tomb door knocker.
Brother Abing tied the rope to the door knocker, and then the two teams slowly pulled the tomb door out like a tug of war.
Then the tomb door rumbled open, making a hissing sound like a flat tire on a car.
The person surnamed Sun said that the sound was caused by the convection between the air outside and the air flow inside.
Just because of the current, the paper or fabric inside will definitely be oxidized.
But they dare not go in to rescue these things, because the air inside must have no oxygen, and there may even be poisonous gas, mold gas, and even death gas.
This main tomb chamber is where the tomb owner lives after his death, so there will be no organs.
The mechanisms of this mausoleum are in the first half of the tomb, from the entrance to the main entrance.
They are all defensive mechanisms, but there are no offensive ones.
A hair dryer was placed at the door and kept blowing for several hours before letting people in.
After entering, there is a long tomb passage, which is surrounded by murals.
What is surprising is that these murals have not been completely oxidized.
Many of them are complete and the colors are very bright.
After walking a few steps forward, my grandfather suddenly froze and shouted: "That's not right."

Everyone was frightened.
The originally dark tomb passage seemed a bit strange and scary.
My grandfather suddenly made a sound, and his expression was very frightening.
Not to mention other people, even I was scared.
"Old Taoist Master, what problem have you discovered?"
Old Chen's face looked very bad, and his body was even trembling.
"Haven't you noticed, these murals?"
As he spoke, grandpa used a miner's lamp to shine on the murals.
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the murals on the wall.
Lao Chen and Lao Wang looked at it carefully.
After Lao Wang took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, he looked at my grandfather in confusion and said, "Old Taoist Priest, what's going on?"
Sorry for my poor eyesight, I didn’t find the problem.”
My grandfather frowned slightly, turned to look at the tomb robber named Sun, and said, "What about you, have you found any problems?"
The man surnamed Sun also shook his head and said to his grandfather: "There is no problem.
These murals are genuine.
I can tell this at a glance."
"Then when did you think it was?"
my grandfather asked.
"This" the man surnamed Sun glanced at it and suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "It seems to be from the late Qing Dynasty."
"That's the question" my grandfather said: "Which emperor's tomb belongs to the Qing Dynasty?"
"What's the problem with this?"
Sun looked at my grandfather in confusion.
"If I'm not mistaken, this mural should be from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.
It is a heroic picture, depicting the grand scene of the peasant uprising at that time.
This picture is very similar to many styles left over from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.
If it is from that period Yes, it’s only less than two hundred years ago,” my grandfather continued.
"Even if it's from the late Qing Dynasty, it's still an ancient tomb, isn't it?"
The man named Sun looked at my grandfather in confusion.
"Let me make a long story short.
After I finish speaking, you will understand.
Our sect has guarded this place for sixteen generations, more than five hundred years.
We have guarded it because this mountain has dragon energy, which can suppress evil things.
"The ancestral saying is that there is a dragon spirit because of the mausoleum, which means that the mausoleum should have existed at that time.
If it is a mausoleum five hundred years ago, why are the murals inside two hundred years ago?"
My grandfather explained .
"This" Lao Chen and the others looked at each other, completely confused.
He said, "It's hard to say.
Let's continue looking down.
We can't be sure that this mural is from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period."
"I hope I've made a mistake, let's keep going down."
My grandfather shook his head and sighed.
Then as we walked further down, my grandfather kept shining the miner's lamp on the murals on both sides.
But as he walked further, his head shook more and more.
Everyone saw it, but he stopped talking.
But when we arrived at the tomb, Lao Chen and others were completely dumbfounded.

There is only one word in front of me, that is emptiness The tomb chamber is a replica of the house where the tomb owner lived during his lifetime, and this is a mausoleum.
The person who lived in this past life was a palace.
According to imagination, this tomb chamber should have the appearance of a palace no matter what, but the furnishings inside In the entire tomb chamber, there are only four lamp slaves in the corner.
The so-called lamp slave forged the shape of a woman holding a lamp out of metal, and what she dragged in her hand was an ever-bright lamp.
The ever-bright lamp stayed lit until all the oxygen in the tomb was burned out.
The man surnamed Sun took a lighter and lit the ever-burning lamps in the four corners.
After hundreds of years, the lamp oil in this lamp is still there.
Grandpa said that the lamp oil is the oil extracted from the body of the sea mermaid.
It is said that with sufficient oxygen, a drop of mermaid oil can burn for several months.
Inside the tomb, the air does not flow, and the tomb remains relatively static, so the shark oil does not evaporate.
At this moment, the man surnamed Sun held a lighter, and the entire front tomb was brightly lit.
But when the tomb was lit up, it became clearer.
The entire tomb, apart from the murals, was empty, with only a layer of dust on the floor.
Lao Chen and Lao Wang were completely dumbfounded.
The entire tomb was empty, which was two extremes from what they had imagined.
The man surnamed Sun came over, frowned and said, "I looked carefully at those four lamp slaves.
They are from the Tang Dynasty."
"How could this happen?"
Lao Wang's face turned green.
Old Chen's face was as white as paper.
He said: "The murals are from the late Qing Dynasty, but the palace lanterns are from the Tang Dynasty.
What the hell is this?"
"And it's all empty.
What kind of poor emperor is this?"
Lao Wang cursed loudly, and then ran towards the middle tomb chamber
