Light a fire in the tomb?
Lin Ran couldn't help but find it funny and quickly stopped him: "Master Zhenbao, there is a lot of flammable gas in the tomb. It may be dangerous to set it on fire."
"It doesn't matter." Zhenbao said, holding a piece of paper in his hand, "I was testing it just now. There is almost no methane in this mausoleum, and there is no risk of explosion."
The man in front of me actually knows chemistry?
The combustible gas content could be confirmed through test strips. Lin Ran couldn't help but feel that he had underestimated the strength of this team.
"Don't worry, we have done this kind of test many times. It is not dangerous." Liu Jingfeng said to Zhenbao seriously, "Then please test it first!"
Zhenbao nodded without hesitation, immediately set up a formation on the ground, and then arranged to place candles in the four corners.
Lin Ran was not a member of any tomb robbing sect, so being able to watch the practice at close range felt quite novel.
In fact, some Jinmen sects also light candles in order to test the quality of the air in the tomb.
But this thing is just a gamble. If there is flammable gas in the air, he will be basically finished the moment he lights the candle.
Maybe this is the original origin of the legend of ghost blowing lanterns.
Zhen Bao also noticed something unusual and said solemnly: "This bronze coffin has no ventilation holes."
In ancient times, after a person died, the person who made the coffin would deliberately leave a ventilation hole.
This is just in case the person is not completely dead. If the deceased recovers, they can still breathe fresh air.
In an era when medical care was underdeveloped, suspended animation was common.
This has also become an unwritten rule.
The coffin in front of him had no ventilation holes, which made him feel scared.
Lin Ran sighed, and then explained with a smile: "Li Ji has been buried for the second time. His body was dug out by Wu Zetian for whipping. Do you think it is necessary to leave ventilation holes?"
He knew that the people in front of him were quite superstitious, so he wanted to give an authoritative explanation.
This statement made Zhenbao feel at ease and nodded: "That's what Brother Lin said."
In fact, the ventilation holes have another function, that is, tomb robbers can see what burial objects are inside through the ventilation holes.
Zhenbao's formation was set up. At his nod, Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning took out matches and lit the candles in the four corners.
The weak firelight illuminated the tomb even darker.
Time passed minute by minute, and it lasted for a minute, and the candle flame was not extinguished.
"No problem." Jumbo gave his reply.
The so-called ghost blowing out the lamp can actually be explained scientifically. Either the oxygen content inside is extremely low, or the amount of flammable gas exceeds the standard.
Not suitable for lighting candles.
Although the environment they were in was about 20 meters underground, the air quality was very good and there was no flammable gas.
Lin Ran thought to himself that the secret must be behind another door.
Because this situation will only occur in a breathable environment.
Right now, the more important thing is to open the coffin.
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning, one on each side, lifted the top of the coffin and gently placed it on the ground next to it.
A rancid smell hit my face.
"Cough cough."
Different from the black gas just now, I didn't see any gas this time, but the smell of corruption was very strong.
The coffin lid had been completely opened, and a corpse that had not yet completely decomposed, with some meat still stuck to the bones, appeared in front of people.
Their main goal is actually the treasure in the coffin!
On his head, he wears a special hat.
Three beams into the German crown!
In the Tang Dynasty, hats were called crowns, which were not only a symbol of status but also a display of integrity.
The crown is upright and high, indicating that the person wearing it is of elegance.
When Qu Yuan was framed by a traitor, he would write for himself the eternal famous saying "The crown of the emperor is in jeopardy, the wife of the emperor is Lu Li".
In the Tang Dynasty, the most precious items were naturally the crown and the queen's phoenix crown.
In addition, the three beams in front of me are the German crown!
History and memories intertwined in his mind.
Lin Ran finally understood why no bones were found in Li Ji's tomb, but Sanliang Jinde Guan was found.
It is estimated that someone came to this mausoleum and took away the crown.
However, he felt that this thing was worthless, so he threw it into the fake tomb.
There was another thing that caught their attention. Next to the corpse, there was a wooden sword.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a wooden sword that was the weapon of the palace guards.
As one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Li Ji was also a famous veteran of the three dynasties. He fought on the battlefield throughout his life and made great contributions to the unification of the Tang Dynasty.
After his death, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was first grateful for his outstanding achievements and buried him in Zhaoling, accompanying Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.
Zhaoling was designed by Yan Lide, an architect from the Tang Dynasty, and was built exactly like Chang'an City.
The tombs are built like Yin, Tie, and Wude Mountains to commemorate their merits.
"What is this? A dignified general actually uses a wooden sword." Wang Jinpeng carefully removed the wooden sword from his hand with a cloth.
"This is Ban Jian." Lin Ran said, "Through this sword, his identity is more certain."
"Ban Jian?" Huang Hao was a little curious. This had touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.
Lin Ran picked up the sword and admired it, while explaining softly: "The so-called Banjian refers to a sword with patterns."
This wooden sword should be made of the finest golden nanmu. After thousands of years, there are no signs of decay.
The body had passed through the mercury embalming measures and was almost decomposed by this time.
It can be seen that the quality of this sword is excellent.
"It originated in the Han Dynasty. In order to show the majesty of the emperor, there would be warriors standing beside him." Lin Ran continued, "These warriors in formation are equipped with ban swords. The most important thing is to show the royal authority."
"However, as an honor guard, it is inevitable that there will be insufficient training. So in order to reduce their burden, the iron swords were replaced by wooden swords."
"Later, in the palace, the low-level palace guards were equipped with wooden swords. After all, they only patrolled the palace most of the time."
Although this sword is made of wood, its appearance is extremely beautiful.
Moreover, it was the discovery of this sword that filled the gap in the history books!
People today don't know that the ceremonial knives of the Tang Dynasty were made of wood.
The historical significance of this wooden sword is already much higher than its own value.
Huang Hao looked like he had benefited a lot and nodded: "Brother Lin is not only very good at burial, he is also a first-class master in history. I admire him."
"No." Lin Ran said modestly, "I just like reading."
Inside the coffin, there were some other items.
For example, there is a leather belt, a wooden musical instrument, and a painting in his other hand.
"What a versatile general." Liu Jingfeng looked at his funeral objects and sighed sincerely.
Li Ji was a son of a nobleman before the founding of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, he enjoyed the best educational resources, and he knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But after he saw the suffering of the people, he came up with the idea of helping the world.
So he gave up all his hobbies, first joined Wagang Village in a humble status, and then gradually showed his military talents.
However, true peace could not be achieved during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
The threat was always there. Even though he had retired at home, when he heard there was a threat from Goryeo, he immediately left for the battlefield.
I never had a good rest from beginning to end.
Until he fell asleep, he was dug up because of his grandson's fault.
Now, I can finally rest in peace!
