Ginger juice really lives up to its reputation. It is as easy as cutting tofu with a mouse throwing off its shoulders. Of course, this is also inseparable from the sharp steel edge of the fine steel shovel prepared by Lao Xie.In a short time, the mouse dug a big pit with a square of 3 meters, and when it dug down, it was as hard as touching granite, and at the same time, a gray-brown soil different from the sealing soil was exposed underneath. I jumped down and touched it with my hand, and found that its density is higher than that of cement, and it is very smooth.

"Old Xie, is it here? This is rammed earth, right?" I asked him, because it was the first time for me to do this kind of thing. It was just hearsay before, and I knew that there would be some rammed earth in general large-scale tombs after the soil was dug and sealed. It can be said that the rammed earth is the last line of defense of the tomb. Once the tomb robbers are dug up, the tomb robbers can go straight to the Yellow Dragon without any hindrance, so how to dig the rammed earth is also a craft.

Lao Xie said: "Don't look at this rammed earth as similar to our modern cement concrete, but the craftsmen who built the imperial mausoleum in ancient times were not like our modern people. They cut corners in everything they did. Even if our cement quality is qualified, it can't compare with others. , this craft has been lost. It has been passed down from generation to generation, the raw materials of this rammed earth are extremely complex, sand, lime powder, sugar, egg white, boy's urine, virgin menstrual blood... I don't remember the rest, anyway, these ingredients There are many kinds, but the degree of hardness should not be underestimated. When Sun Dianying dug the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, he used a lot of explosives to barely open a gap."

Mouse spread his hands: "Wan, do you mean we have to use explosives too?"

Mei Hui echoed: "We can't use explosives unless it is absolutely necessary. This is the Kunlun Snow Mountain. We are in a low-lying place. Be careful not to cause an avalanche!"

Lao Xie said that a method handed down by his family ancestors does not know whether it will work or not. In fact, he has never robbed the tombs of such large princes and nobles, so he can only try it today.I thought he was talking about some high-tech secret recipe, but I didn't expect to take out a bottle of vinegar from the bag, with the label of Sichuan Baoning vinegar on it.

"Is it reliable, old Xie?" I have some doubts.

"Ginger juice is good just now, maybe the secret recipe uploaded by Xu Zu will also work." He said.

Just like the previous appearance, he sprinkled the bottle of vinegar on the rammed earth. The change was not as obvious as the ginger juice and frozen soil just now. He said don't worry, wait a while, let the vinegar penetrate completely before doing it.The mouse and I smoked cigarettes one by one, and after waiting for a long time, there was no movement on the exposed rammed earth.The mouse scolded his mother and said that Lao Xie was talking nonsense.

At this moment, the rammed earth suddenly sank significantly. I widened my eyes and ran over to take a look. Sure enough, the rammed earth was corroded by vinegar and loosened a lot, revealing a small hole, and the tomb was pitch black. I couldn't see anything at all, so I quickly summoned the mouse to start.

While digging, the mouse gave Lao Xie a thumbs-up and boasted: "The wisdom of the Chinese people is infinite, this can definitely apply for an international patent!"

While turning his head to compliment Lao Xie, he moved the shovel without looking at the rammed earth. Everyone was laughing and joking at this moment. A small thing flew out of the gap.Because when the sun is shining right now, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was the big grains of sand blown up by the airflow below.
