Their first itinerary was very boring. They first started from Changbai Mountain to Shandong, and then took a boat from Shandong to Shanghai.
Zhang Haike's thinking is that places like Luoyang are important places for ancient tombs, and it is estimated that there are many tomb robbers. Although they may not be at a disadvantage when fighting these old rivers and lakes, the opponent is cruel and murderous after all, and it was an era when firearms were rampant. When faced with these old rivers and lakes, children may have little chance of winning. For them, it is too risky to enter such an area. There are only two of them, one is only thirteen years old, and there are not many coils and dry food. It is better to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to find some shallowly buried small buckets, look. See if you can get lucky.
They wandered around Shanghai for a long time, and poured down a few buckets, but found that these buckets were so barren that people could hardly get anything out. They went from Shanghai to Hangzhou and then to the Jiangsu area. Near Xuzhou, they found a few relatively large buckets. When they entered, they found that the buckets had been stolen and dug up. There was nothing left, only some broken tiles. Can't be used as a token.
At this point, they have traveled more than half of China, and they have spent almost the money. Usually, they have to rely on petty thieves to find things in the vegetable garden to live. The two were embarrassed, and Zhang Haike felt that if they continued to consume like this, they would definitely not be able to complete the test of letting go before the end of the year.
So after they discussed it, they decided to continue to go west. They still had to go to those ancient tombs and old cultural relics, and maybe they could find some fish that slipped through the net.
But their plan still didn't materialize. In the process of going west, they happened to meet another group of Zhang family members who were wild, and they were all fifteen-year-old children, a total of three people. Like them, this group of people went around most of China and found nothing. Although there are many ancient tombs in Shaanxi, the robbery is rampant. Many ancient tombs have no valuables, and some ancient tombs have even been robbed and excavated hundreds of times. , It's all robbery, like a hornet's nest, there are basically no good things in such an ancient tomb, and it's a waste of time to go there.
It is not easy for them to find the ones that have not been robbed in so many tombs, it takes too much luck. The five people pondered on the edge of a cell. Most of the time has passed. If they don't go back before the end of the year, they will not only lose face, but they will also fail the exam, which will embarrass their parents.
The five decided to take a risk and do a very dangerous thing - they decided to rob a very special tomb, the tomb was there without looking for it, but no one could steal it.
This became the fuse for many things that followed.
At that time, they didn't know which province they were in. They only knew that there was a very large village called Ma'an Village, and the ancestral tomb of Ma'an Village was in the back mountain. At that time, there was a local armed force in Ma'an Village. It was a group of skirmishers and deserters who were sporadically scattered during wars in various places and were raised by a rich man in Ma'an Village. These people were all soldiers. Although they were not good at war, their skills were good. They guard most of the Ma'an village.
At that time, their idea was to find a way to sneak to the back mountain of Ma'an Village. This is actually a very dangerous move, because this is a cemetery that is guarded. At the same time, the scale of these cemeteries is not large. ,is very difficult.
A few people ran to the vicinity of Ma'an Village, pretended to be children playing, and carefully inquired about the enemy's situation. They found that the fastest way to reach the grave was to dig tunnels in the forest all the way to the bottom of the mountain, and dig a few ancestral graves directly from the mountain. Their goal is very simple. The tombs in the entire Ma'an Village are divided into three levels. The outermost tombs that appear to be very new are the most recent new tombs, and there are seven in total.
They learned that Ma'an Village has been here for thirty-six generations. If the ancestral tombs have always been buried in the back mountain, there should be a very large group of tombs according to the funeral habit. But the scale of this bunker is not large, that is to say, there are not many places here to accommodate as many as thirty-six generations of people to be buried. The location of the earliest and most valuable ancient tomb must be very strange.
They looked down at the tomb hill on the nearby high hill, inferred the movement of the entire hill and the changes in the topography, and wanted to find out what the topography here was like at the beginning. They soon discovered that, because of the continuous digging and backfilling of the tomb, the tomb was embedded in it, making the grave mountain higher and higher. That is to say, the entire tomb should be a very dense group of ancient tombs. There are many ancient tombs on it. At the beginning, the tombs were not so high. It may be just a small mound on the plain, or it may not be visible at all. , then that means that the early tombs should be located within a few kilometers around the tomb, and they should be very, very deep.
So the core question is, where is the most crucial ancient tomb under this tomb? You must know that once they dig wrong, there is absolutely no second chance.
At that time, there was a very active person among the children who were released into the wild. He wondered what caused all the ancient tombs to move to several earthbags. In terms of feng shui, the feng shui here is very good, but why does it have to be on the top of the mountain? In fact, it is not necessary to do so.
After thinking about it, someone said: "Maybe there is such a situation, this is originally a flat burial area, one day a huge ancient tomb will be built here, it needs a larger mound, and this mound belongs to this mountain. The original shape. And the formation of this mound made the mountain here fluctuated. After the ups and downs, many people are reluctant to bury their ancestral tombs in a lower place than this one. They will want to build it in a higher place. , the owners of the oldest large tombs have all disappeared naturally, and many people will regard the mound as a tomb hill. Generally speaking, it is very unlucky to put a grave on a grave. Maybe these owners do not know, so it caused Now this is the result." In
other words, there should be a very large ancient tomb at the bottom of this tomb, and the problem is how to bypass the guards. The Zhang family's children measured the distance. They found that they were at least two kilometers long from digging a hole in the woods. It was extremely labor-intensive and cost-effective. With the strength of their five children, to dig such a long distance, they had to be clever. .
They have to dig the population of this pit very close, so they use a blindfold. But from the whole situation, this seems unlikely, because the back mountain is surrounded by a few sentry posts, almost no grass grows, all are yellow mountains, and anyone who gets close will be found.
However, they found that these people were very lazy when patrolling. Indeed, in this case, there are definitely not many people who dare to rob the tomb here, so there is no need to be too nervous.
Although the Zhang family's children have their own very special way of playing tunnels, one of the Zhang family's children believes that it is unlikely that no one has made up their minds about such ancient tombs. The traces of the robbery hole in the tomb. They can find a way to find these robbery holes and measure whether they can still be used.
At that time, Zhang Haike said: "If there is a robbery hole, then this tomb has already been stolen?" The
Zhang family child said: "Not necessarily so, why do you think the local wealthy owner of Ma'an Village hired local armed forces to protect the tomb? ? This shows that they probably know that there are very precious things in the tomb. Such ancient tombs are definitely not something that little thieves can steal. Even if there are experts who come, they will leave some for future generations. go."
