Looking underground, the hole is actually very narrow, with a diameter of only 60 centimeters, but every few meters, a slightly larger space will be dug out for turning around and moving the soil Qin Sande and Qin Sansheng are responsible for the excavation work in turn, one digs and the other sends the soil, and Qin's father is responsible for processing the soil sent out, and after packing the sent soil, it is neatly stacked in this not too big shop for the final backfill work.
Now it is Qin Sansheng who is digging with his head, getting closer and closer to the goal, and he can't help but get excited in his heart, and he is also fantasizing about what will appear in his mind.
It's like gambling, you never know what the variables will be until the underlying cards are turned over, whether you're going to make a good hand or draw a bad card That's what makes people go forward and succeed like moths to a fire.
Hope was right in front of him, so Qin Sansheng didn't feel much tired, but instead swung the shovel faster.
As soon as he shoveled down, the different touches that came back from his hands told him that he was on the ground.
The last layer of soil on the outside of the coffin was dug open, and a wooden wall made of cypress cores appeared in front of me, as was customary, expanding the space of this operating surface and making it easier to move and operate.
It wasn't until he dug a space that could accommodate two people to sit side by side that Qin Sansheng stopped the shovel.
Now all that needs to be done is to open the outer coffin Qin Sande had already come out of the cave to the shop and prepared the things for opening the coffin, although they were not superstitious, but the tradition still needed to be observed.
Gas masks, which have only been standard in recent years, are mainly used to prevent corrosive gases or harmful microorganisms from harming the people in the coffin.
Before the popularization of gas masks, there was no effective protection against the tomb, and it was basically a matter of fate, and the oxygen content in the air could only be determined by some simple methods, and that's it.
What toxic gases, harmful microorganisms, and harm to people are red fruits Therefore, the casualty rate of the early grave people was very high.
And the number of people who suffer from respiratory diseases because of going to the grave is countless It is also indispensable, although it is very superstitious, but when the person who goes down to the tomb opens the coffin, he will always light a lamp to seek some spiritual comfort.
However, Lingxi guessed that the main function of the soul lamp was to test the oxygen content in the coffin after it was lit As for the bizarre stories given to it by the grave man, Lingxi was skeptical.
The sealed bag is an essential container for storing the funerary goods in the coffin.
Qin Sande took these things and went into the hole again.
After the two brothers met, the two put on gas masks, and then one of them picked up a short crowbar and thrust it into the gap in the wood of the outer coffin, and then, with a strong pry together, a piece of wood was peeled off.
Despite centuries of corrosion, the cypress core of the outer coffin retains a certain strength, after all, it is the densest place for a tree.
The two brothers continued to deal with the layer of protection in front of them, and as a piece of wood fell, a small gap was finally opened in the outer coffin, and a deflated sound rang out as the outer coffin opened.
Although the voice only disappeared for a moment, the two brothers heard it clearly, looked at each other and smiled, and the movements of their hands were faster.
In the past, that deflating voice might have caused a lot of harm to the human body, but now, both of them are wearing gas masks, and they can completely ignore it The sound is actually the sound of gas venting produced by the decay in the coffin, and its main component is mostly biogas, if this sound is produced, it also proves that the tomb is well preserved, and the probability of being stolen and excavated in the near future will be much smaller.
The two brothers' hands were flying, and the gap was magnified to the extent that it was suitable for operation, carefully removing the burrs around the gap, lighting the soul-fixing lamp, and placing it in the west of the coffin.
Both of them stopped what they were doing, and quietly looked at the flame of the soul lamp, there was no problem, although the flame looked weak and weak, but it still burned firmly, without any sign of extinguishing With a big heart, he turned on the bright light and began to observe the situation inside the outer coffin.
The first thing that catches your eye is the huge inner coffin inside, there is a gap of about 20 centimeters between the outer coffin and the inner coffin, and the inner coffin is still very well preserved, and there are no traces of other tomb robberies found at all, which is the best news for the two brothers.
The inner coffin, as speculated, is made of nanmu, and the patent leather on it has been corrupted and cracked in the humid environment, but the patterns on it can still be faintly seen.
There was a layer of stagnant water inside the outer coffin, and the color of the water was a little black, but the shadows of some large porcelain vessels could already be seen submerged in the water The two began to deal with the stagnant water in the coffin, and brought in a small water pipe from the shop, Father Qin turned on the micro water pump outside, and the water level in the coffin quickly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the burial goods of the outer coffin were clearly displayed in front of the two.
Six pieces of porcelain, including a pair of delicate blue and white amphorae with entwined branches, three figures painted with white porcelain brushes, and a blue and white pen holder, most of which belong to the scholar's office, represent the identity of the tomb owner during his lifetime Several stacks of silver ingots in the style of official silver have been blackened by water corrosion, and the quality cannot be seen, but the silver ingots of this style represent the experience of the tomb owner as an official during his lifetime.
There are also some wood products that have been completely corroded, such as pen holders and brushes used in the study.
Other than that, no other burial goods were found in the outer coffin.
The status of the ancient literati was much higher than that of the martial arts, and since the Song Dynasty, sharing the world with scholars and doctors has been a slogan of the emperors of the past dynasties The slogan of Shinong Industry and Commerce has also been shouted for thousands of years, which is the embodiment standard of social status in ancient times.
Therefore, it is only natural that these things appear in the tomb The two brothers carefully cleaned out the contents of the outer coffin, and sent them to Qin's father and Lingxi outside the cave one by one.
Father Qin had an undisguised smile on his face, in today's art investment market, the value of stationery supplies is the highest.
Although it is not porcelain produced by the official kiln, these pieces in front of me can at least be regarded as in good condition, and they should be able to sell for a good price.
Father Qin carefully cleaned up the dirt on it with a delicate towel, and then handed it to the Lingxi next to him, hoping that Lingxi could give some professional generational identification, so that he would have a bottom in his heart, and when the time came to take it to the black market, he would not be pitted.
In recent years he has suffered a lot oshow7 t1706231537:
