Chapter 701 (2/2)
”Experienced Chinese explorers can even rely on them to determine whether people excavated this land on a large scale hundreds of years ago.”
”It's amazing!” Laura exclaimed.
”In the art of geomancy, the first thing is to taste the soil and water...” the gray haired old man whispered to the nearby Chen Yulou: ”I've tasted 17 ancient wells around. I'm sure the water here is soft and sweet, with three parts of golden water and seven parts of silver water. It's rich and long. It's also similar to the earth. It weighs eight Liang, and it's good.”
”Then why do you frown so often?” Chen Yulou didn't understand.
”It's the soil brought out by Luoyang shovel. It's very strange! I've found the sealing soil on the upper layer of the first emperor's mausoleum, but if it's true according to what I found, there are signs of sealing soil within 12000 steps from here to the left and 30000 steps to the left and right. Moreover, the top layer of sealing soil is cyan black, which is Yangqing mud. Yangqing mud often appears in the tomb of the Warring States period.”
”But I only saw this color of Yangqing mud in a noble Tomb of the state of Qin that I explored in my early years. At that time, your father was the leader. He led us to find this big tomb at the foot of the steep mountain. At that time, we noticed the strangeness of this copper colored soil sealing. Later, when we opened the hole on the soil sealing, unimaginable horror happened.”
”Later, we learned that this kind of copper colored Yang green mud is also called 'Zhelong earth'. This kind of Yang green mud needs human blood medicine to be mashed together with the Yang green mud excavated from the ancient tomb. A soil pill weighs nine to twenty-nine cents. It is mixed with the eggs of poisonous insects and foreign bodies and poured into the outer layer of the sealing soil of the tomb.”
”There are eight kinds of insect eggs mixed into the Dragon sting soil. After adding the eggs of different insects called insects, the insects hatch in the wind. After the soil is covered, if it is more than three feet deep and nourished by underground Yin spring, the insects in the soil will slowly lay eggs and die. This kind of alien insect has a very strange temperament and needs to parasitize on the insects to reproduce. The adults need to parasitize on the insects before they can survive They can lay eggs by poisonous insects. At that time, the eggs laid by poisonous insects will carry the eggs of poisonous insects and insects. The eggs hatched with poisonous insects will parasitize the next generation of poisonous insects in the shortest time. In order to parasitize poisonous insects to reproduce, poisonous insects will secrete a colloid like propolis to protect the eggs before they die. After they grow up, they have to face the wind to grow wings 。”
”So the first batch of hatched eggs, the growing eggs, protect the eggs in the soil, and then die because they can't see the wind, and their parasitic eggs can remain alive for thousands of years. Only when they see the wind, the secretions protected outside the insects will disappear and promote the hatching of the insects.”
The old man sighed, ”when we were excavating the tomb of the nobility of the state of Qin, because we dug up the sealing soil, the two thousand year old insect eggs in it were exposed to the wind, and then rotted into countless insect insects as fine as dust. Unknowingly, they parasitized in our bodies.” then the old man carefully smashed the bronze sealing soil raised by Luoyang shovel and showed it to Chen Yulou.
Some big insects are as big as sesame seeds, and small invisible insects shake off from the sealed soil.
Chen Yulou's face changed miserably. He said in a deep voice, ”so there is this kind of sealed earth under our feet? Then how big will the insects in the sealed earth revive if we dig a stolen hole?”
The old man pondered for a moment and looked up and said, ”with the wind from the stolen cave, it will disturb the poisonous insects in five parts of the surrounding area.”
”These insects like Yin and dislike Yang. They will not appear on the ground illuminated by the sun, but they will soon be everywhere in the stealing cave. We drill into the stealing cave, just like entering the insect cave. From digging to stung the Dragon soil, it only takes three minutes, and the insects will recover and breed. The larger the excavated area, the more insects will be disturbed.”
”This is the first defense of the mausoleum of the first emperor!” Chen Yulou sighed: ”with the talent of the first emperor, I don't know how many dangers there will be...”
O'Connor looked at the Luoyang shovel at his feet and sneered: ”I don't think we need to expect that group of Chinese. They are ignorant and lazy uncivilized people... We don't have much time. We have to dig into the coffin of the Dragon Emperor quickly to prevent those Oriental people from resurrecting him.”
Laura objected, ”I think we should listen to the opinions of local explorers...”
”Listen to them, we can't dig the main tomb in a year!” O'Connor left here without looking back and walked towards the tent set up on the site. He wanted to discuss with the supervisor here and speed up the progress according to his opinions.
