The film and television city starts from the courtyard

"Old man, why did you stop? Don't tell me you're lost." Wang Kaixuan shouted to An Liman.

An Liman did not answer Wang Kaixuan. Instead, he carefully analyzed the surrounding situation. He even got off the camel and said to the camel: "Do you still remember this place?" '

Then he excitedly pointed to the sand dunes in front of him and said, "I think this place looks very familiar. I remember the place where the white camel saved me. There is a water source nearby."

Many years ago, An Liman was also lost in the desert. At that time, he was tired and thirsty and felt that he could no longer get out of the desert. But just when he was desperate, he saw a shining white camel, which led him to find the water source. That's why he valued the camel so much.

However, this water source seemed very close, but in fact it was quite far away. It took Zhao Shucheng and the others more than three hours until dark before they finally arrived at the water source An Liman mentioned.

This is actually the ruins of an ancient city, and the water source refers to a well here. Of course, the wells here are different from ordinary wells, and they don't mean they are dug just anywhere. In fact, it is a karez unique to Xinjiang Province. Therefore, even if the well water here has experienced years of wind and sand, it is still the source of life in the desert.

An Liman knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly, hoping that the well here would not become a dry well.

Zhao Shucheng, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan went inside first to check the situation, but Shirley Yang also wanted to follow.

After Zhao Shucheng entered, he saw a rabbit first and rushed over to catch it without saying a word.

Fatty Wang got excited after seeing the rabbit, and the gun in his hand went off, shocking Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi.

"Fat man, what are you doing?"

The fat man said: "It's nothing, I just don't have to eat dried meat anymore. I'm excited."

As the fat man was speaking, he seemed to remember something. He came to the well and took a look. When he found water, he excitedly ran out with a panicked expression on his face.

Zhao Shucheng looked helplessly at the fat man who ran out, looked at Hu Bayi, and walked out with a dumb smile.

Others didn't know what was going on inside. When they saw the fat man running over in panic, they thought they were in danger and asked about the situation worriedly.

"What's wrong, Xiao Hu, Xiao Zhao, what happened?"

Hu Bayi said: "Fat man, that's almost enough." Then he said to the archaeological team: "There is water in it, and there is plenty of water!"

Zhao Shucheng also came out with the rabbit at this time and said: "You can have meat today. Although there is not much, everyone can have a taste."

When people who were in false alarm heard that there was water, they went in to get water and quench their thirst.

After a day of running around, and it was getting dark soon, the group decided to spend the night at this ruins. Everyone set up the tent and started to make a fire to cook.

Shirley Yang also took out precious dehydrated vegetables, prepared to make soup, and explained the benefits of dehydrated vegetables to everyone.

"Miss Yang has hidden it deep enough, so many geniuses are willing to take it out." Fatty Wang said in a sinister tone.

However, Yang Xueli was not surprised by the fat man's words and said: "It is only when it is taken out under such difficult circumstances that its value can be reflected."

Ye Yixin said: "Yes, Sister Shirley, it's great to be able to drink vegetable soup in such a desolate place."

The fat man said with emotion: "If you ask me, the Northeast is better. The delicacies of mountains and seas in this forest are plentiful and delicious. Look here again, there is nothing but sand. If you take a bite of a yellow sheep, your mouth will be full of sand." "

"When we were in Inner Mongolia, wasn't there a popular saying that beat the roe deer with a stick to scoop out the fish, and the pheasant flew into the rice pot."

Hu Bayi said: "Fat man, it's good to have some food now. Who would have thought that half a day ago, we were still uncertain about life or death?" Now you have a mouthful of vegetable soup, and you will be content. '

Sa Dipeng said curiously: "Brother Wang, what does beating a roe deer with a stick mean? Do you use a stick to beat a roe deer?"

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he was very happy and said: "Xiao Sa, you are quite easy to learn. This means that if you go into the forest with a stick, you can hit the roe deer with a swipe of your hand, and you can scoop it up in the river with a ladle. , is a plate of fish used to describe the abundant products in Northeast China.”

Hao Aiguo said: "You can't say that. The Northeast is as good as the Northeast, and the Western Regions are as good as the Western Regions. Bathing culture is an important treasure of human civilization."

Fatty Wang said unconvinced: "I don't like hearing this anymore. There is no culture in the Northeast? Do you think there are only forests there? There are also treasures underground. Some time ago, I..."

Zhao Shucheng coughed and said: "Fat man, what are you talking about? Although there are treasures in the Northeast, the culture of the Western Regions has lasted for more than two thousand years, and there are indeed many good things. Not to mention anything else, each ancient city ruins has its own unique Culture and history.”

Zhao Shucheng pointed to the karez where water was drawn just now, and said: "This is just a karez. Do you think it is just a karez? This may have existed more than 2,000 years ago."

"There is a record in "Historical Records: Biography of Dawan". It is said that the new Qin people in Wan City knew how to penetrate wells, and there was still a lot of food in them. What is said is that there was no well in Dawan City, so they used the water flowing outside the city. Later, during the war, During the period, the outer city was trapped and its water source was cut off. After finding the "Qin people", they learned how to drill wells and solved the serious water shortage problem in the city at that time. "

"A karez alone has a history of more than 2,000 years. Think about how much history and precious culture are buried under this piece of yellow sand. Even the exquisite ancient city we are looking for is just one of many that have perished in the Western Regions. One of the kingdoms is already worth exploring.”

Zhao Shucheng looked at Hu Bayi as he spoke and said, "Old Hu, don't you have Tianxing Feng Shui? Come and see how the layout of this place is."

Hu Bayi felt a little strange after hearing this, but he still took out his compass and looked here, and then looked at the changes in the stars in the sky.

"The feng shui here is excellent, and it is very similar to a layout in the Sixteen-Character Yin and Yang Secret Technique, but it takes a specific time to see it more clearly."

"In that case, let's wait and see."

Hu Bayi had been thinking about this matter. When the group was resting after eating, he took out his compass and looked at the stars in the sky from time to time, and soon made a discovery.

"Old Zhao, don't tell me, this is really a geomantic treasure. Look, the giant gate star, the left auxiliary star, the right star, and the three shining stars form an equilateral triangle. According to the water veins, there must be a big tomb underground."

After hearing this, Fatty Wang asked curiously: "Where is this big tomb?" "It's this well!"

"This well? Xiao Hu, there is an ancient tomb in this well, are you sure?" Professor Chen also heard Hu Bayi's words and asked curiously.

Hu Bayi said: "According to the Tianxing Feng Shui technique I have mastered, it shouldn't be wrong."

Zhao Shucheng said: "It should be good. After all, the ruins of the ancient city are here. The previous princes' tombs will definitely choose Feng Shui treasures. This is undoubtedly the most suitable place."

Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi both said this, and the others were immediately ready to make a move and went directly to the well to look at the situation below.

Shirley Yang suddenly said, "Listen, there is the sound of flowing water."

Fatty Wang said with some confusion: "No, shouldn't this tomb be in a very dry place? With so much water, can it be an ancient tomb?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Fat man, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. There are thousands of Feng Shui patterns, and each place has its own unique customs. The tombs in the front of the river and the back of the mountain are the most common. After all, the implication is that you have a backer and wealth. The meaning of flow and gathering.”

"Don't think that if there is running water, there will be no ancient tombs. This kind of dogmatic experience is a taboo for archeology. For example, there are hanging coffins in Sichuan and other places, and there are sky burials and water burials in Tibet. On the contrary, this burial method is the oldest, common and common ”

Professor Chen also nodded and said: "Xiao Zhao is right. Our research on the culture of the Western Regions is still lacking. The Western Regions are also different from the Central Plains, and there are possibilities."

Next, the archaeological team began to get busy, preparing to explore the ancient tomb.

An Liman saw everyone's reaction and said, "Are you tomb robbers?"

"Oh, brother, we are archeology and research. We specialize in studying the culture of the Western Regions." Professor Chen explained to An Liman the difference between archeology and tomb robbing, but An Liman could not understand their so-called protective archaeological research. However, considering that Professor Chen and the others came from the capital and were received by local leaders, they could only hold a skeptical attitude and stop interfering with the archaeological team's actions.

But Fatty Wang secretly packed his things. When it was almost done, he pulled Hu Bayi to one side and said, "Old Hu, you are ready to touch gold and black donkey's hooves."

Hu Bayi said: "I asked you why you came here in such a hurry."

"That's right, you don't even think that you can come in person for such a trivial matter. But we have gold talismans, but Zhao Shucheng doesn't have them. What should we do?"

"Do you think he is someone who needs such a thing? Besides, we are not going to rob tombs this time, but for archeology. Do you think it is useful?"

"That's not necessarily the case. It's always good to be prepared."

After some discussion, Hu Bayi fell down first. Seeing Hu Bayi going down, Yang Xueli stopped Hu Bayi and handed him the pistol.

Hu Bayi looked at Yang Xueli, took it and put it on his waist, and said, "Comrades, just wait for the news of my victory."

When Hu Ba reached the well and found a place to stay, he saw that the well wall on one side was a little different from other places. There are actually stairs and carved gates here, and it looks like the ancient tomb is located.

As soon as Hu Bayi found the ancient tomb, he came to contact everyone. He first came up to tell others about the situation, and then prepared to go down the well the next day to explore the ancient tomb.

The next day.

The members of the archaeological team knew that they were going to explore the ancient tomb today. They finally no longer had to trek in the desert and could use their own expertise. Naturally, they became nervous and busy.

Zhao Shucheng followed Hu Bayi to the bottom of the well again, fixed the rope in place, and after getting the rest of the archaeological team down, he began to open the cowhide that sealed the tomb door, preparing to push open the main door of the tomb chamber.

Professor Chen was still spreading knowledge to the archaeological team: "You see, in ancient times, people would bring animals to the sacrificial altar and then kill them. They would immediately stick the freshly peeled animal skins on the gaps in the stone door to isolate them. The water vapor will form a sealed environment inside, and the items will be better preserved. It looks like no one has been here for many years. "

Zhao Shucheng saw that others were still paying attention to the animal skins and said, "Professor Chen, we are going to open the tomb door next. You all step back and put on your gas masks. I will open the door in a while. After making sure that the air inside is not poisonous, everyone Coming in one after another.”

When the others heard what Zhao Shucheng said, they hurriedly hid on both sides of the tomb door, put on gas masks, and looked inside expectantly.

Zhao Shucheng and Fatty Hu Bayi Wang worked together to push open the tomb door. While the three people were exploring carefully, as the air inside the tomb chamber circulated with the air outside, lights suddenly began to light up on both sides of the tomb chamber, frightening the archaeological team following Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Don't worry, the lamps in the tomb are ignited when they encounter the outside air. In fact, they use white phosphorus to have a low ignition point. When the air temperature is suitable, it will spontaneously ignite, and then the oil lamps are lit. It is just a method commonly used in the past. , is also the lowest way to intimidate grave robbers.”

But when they saw clearly what was going on inside the tomb, the others became nervous again. Because there were densely packed corpses tied to the pillars on both sides, it looked a bit scary. In particular, this place is different from other tombs. Perhaps because of being in the desert, all the corpses did not rot, but became mummies one after another, retaining a trace of their appearance in life.

It would be fine if it was just that, but the expressions on these corpses all tell everyone how cruelly they were treated during their lifetimes.

After everyone walked around the tomb, Shirley Yang was the first to ask the question in everyone's mind: "Isn't this a tomb? Why is there no coffin?"

After Professor Chen looked around, he guessed: "These bones should be slaves or prisoners buried in sacrifice. They should be a place for superstar sacrificial activities." '

"These people were probably tied up in the desert and died of thirst. After they were air-dried, they were placed here. Then the blood of sacrificial animals was poured on the bones. Let's look for anything else."

Zhao Shucheng looked at a high platform at the end of the tomb. After walking over to take a look, he lightly stamped his feet to listen for what was going on below.

When Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang saw Zhao Shucheng's behavior, they came over curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Don't you think it's strange? In a place like the desert, it's just a sacrificial platform, but you also specially brought in such a large stone slab? If it is really a sacrificial platform, wouldn't it be made of bricks and stones? Isn’t it better?”

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang became a little curious after hearing this. They followed Zhao Shucheng and started cleaning the ground. They soon discovered that this was actually a complete large stone slab with patterns carved on it, and there was a huge one at both ends. Pull tab. (End of chapter)
