Lin Yi is the kind of person who feels itchy when he sees "Rare Ancient Books" and wants to fly over directly. The Cultural Relics Bureau and the Archaeology Team are also in a hurry. After orders are issued below, they will seize the time to complete it.

So Lin Yi and the others drove straight to Neixiang.

Neixiang is more than 130 miles away from Nandu City, and it can be reached in about two or three hours by car.

Along the way, everyone was busy. On the way, they ate rabbit meat in a game restaurant and drank Liu Ji's old yellow wine. After they had enough wine and had enough food, they set off again.

In fact, the only ones who went with Lin Yi this time were Captain Zhang Boyuan and the archaeological team member Ye Qiu. As for Director Chen, he was busy with noble people and busy with work, so he didn't worry about such a matter of running to Baili.

As for Old Man Sun, he originally wanted to open his eyes, but he was also plagued by work and couldn't get out of it, so there were actually only three people in the entire raid team, Lin Yi and the others.

Ye Qiu was driving, and Captain Zhang and Lin Yi sat behind to chat. Captain Zhang had many experiences, especially the stories about archaeological tomb robbery. It was very terrifying and even more terrifying than reading tomb robbery novels.

He said that once a big guy went down to an ancient tomb, black and black, and could not see anything. He didn't dare to turn on the light for a while. He waited until his eyes had almost adapted to the darkness, and then turned on the flashlight. Unexpectedly, he saw a colorful poisonous snake at a glance. He was so scared that he urinated. The bold ones didn't dare to move, for fear of being shocked by the poisonous snake, so he took a breath.

Fortunately, the poisonous snake seemed to have eaten its stomach and did not care about them. After a few glances, it ran away. However, the team members didn't think so. The entire archaeological work was too late to start. Everyone was afraid that when they were busy, the poisonous snake would suddenly jump out and bite you. It was not until the experienced old man brought realgar wine and smoked it around with the smell of wine that the archaeology began.

...

Captain Zhang spoke vividly, and Lin Yi listened very seriously. Seeing that Lin Yi was a good listener, Captain Zhang was even more happy to chat with him. Then he took another cigarette and talked to Lin Yi about several devices for anti-theft of ancient tombs tombs tombs tombs to the public.

Captain Zhang asked Lin Yi, do you know what "Xuanhuo Cave" is? Lin Yi said he didn't know.

Captain Zhang had a bit of a show of his character, saying that "Xuanhuo Cave" is a mechanism to prevent tomb robbery. It is said that it can eject huge fireballs or long fire dragons. Most people think this is just a fabrication by novelists. So does Xuanhuo Cave really exist?

Captain Zhang kept it a secret and said that this kind of thing is true. He has been working for so many years and has encountered everything and heard of everything.

In 1972, people near Changsha, Hunan were preparing to prepare fortifications on a small hill. While digging the foundation to drill, the drill bit was drilled into the air and choking gas came out of the drill hole. A worker was scratching a match beside him and wanted to smoke. As a result, with a "bang", a ball of fire exploded in the air. Then a blue flame was seen like a snake, "chichi" and spraying out from the drill hole. Some people thought they had encountered a legendary monster, but the old man present said that this was the legendary "Xuanhuo Cave", but in real life, it was called the Fire Cave Tomb. Later, the famous Mawangdui Xinzhu Tomb was discovered here.

So what is the principle of a fire cave tomb? As we all know, when organic matter decays, under hypoxia, a large amount of combustible gas - methane, that is, biogas. When the tomb chamber is closed particularly well, especially when the coffin is removed and sealed very tightly, the gas gathers in the coffin for a long time. When the coffin is suddenly opened, if the biogas encounters an open fire, of course it will be a little bit. This is what is commonly called a fire cave in tomb robbers. Although it is very dangerous to dig a fire cave, many grave diggers are very willing to encounter a fire cave. If the fire cave appears, it means that the tomb chamber is well preserved.

...

Captain Zhang talked to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi became even more fascinated by what it means to say, "There must be my master in three people." Yes, Lin Yi may have some ability in the identification of ancient books, but in the excavation of ancient tombs, this Captain Zhang is an undisputed expert.

Not to mention that Lin Yi admired Captain Zhang very much, even Ye Qiu, who was in charge of driving, shouted that Captain Zhang would tell more stories about this.

Captain Zhang smiled and said, "This is not a story. These are all experiences and knowledge that many people earn for their lives. If you just listen to it as a story, then he will be in vain."

Lin Yi hurriedly said, "No, since it's all about experience, they are just following the attitude of learning and ask Captain Zhang to teach more useful knowledge."

After his vanity was satisfied, Captain Zhang began to make a fool of himself again and asked Lin Yi and Ye Qiu, "Have you heard of corpse poison?"

Seeing the two of them shook their heads, Captain Zhang then continued to talk---

I believe that those who have watched Hong Kong zombie films will have a deep impression of corpse poison. People who are infected with corpse poison will not only have their skin ulcers and lose their feelings, but in severe cases, their muscles will also become live corpse jumping. It is said that this kind of thing can only be removed with glutinous rice and cinnabar, and ordinary drugs are useless to it. Many tomb robber novels have mentioned many times that tomb robbers will bring many protective equipment when entering the ancient tomb to prevent infection with terrible corpse poison. So does corpse poison really exist in reality.

Speaking of the late Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty, there was a group of tomb robbers in Luoyang. The leader was named Zhu. This man had a nickname called "Zhuqiface". Why did he have this nickname? It turned out that he encountered a strange thing when he was robbing the Yongchang Tomb of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of Song Dynasty. After he pried open the coffin, he found that Zhao Kuangyin's body was not rotten. He wanted to take off the jade belt tied on Zhao Kuangyin's body, but the body was too heavy and could not be taken by force. He came up with a way to tie the rope under the shoulder of the corpse and put the other end on his body. Facing the corpse, he pulled it up and took the opportunity to untie the jade belt. Unexpectedly,

At this time, the corpse sprayed a stream of black mucus on his face, which could not be washed away from it. It turned into a "red lacquer face". This is a special kind of legend about corpse poison in history books. So what's going on? It is said that in order to prevent corrosion, the ancients often took highly toxic drugs before they died, which helped the preservation of the corpse. This highly toxic drug will corrode the entire internal organs in the human body and turn it into liquid to retain it in the body. When a tomb robber moves the corpse, the body is squeezed and the liquid will spray out from the mouth, burning people's skin, forming the so-called "red lacquer face".

...

Lin Yi was half-believing and half-doubted about the story of the corpse poison. Ye Qiu, the driving archaeological team member, said, "Captain Zhang, your story is a bit lingering. The Xuanhuo Cave I just mentioned is reasonable and well-founded. What kind of corpse poison---You can't watch too many Lin Zhengying's movies, right?"

Captain Zhang smiled. He used to joke with these subordinates, and didn't care about his bones. He said, "Little Yezi, Xiao Yezi, you have only been to the archaeological team for a few days. You don't believe it after telling you. So, let me tell you a real thing----'Fast Sand Crossbow'. You must have heard of this, right?"

This made Lin Yi's interest arouse, because Lin Yi has seen ancient anti-theft device such as "quicksand crossbow" in many books. However, what exactly is it, let's listen to what Captain Zhang said first.

Captain Zhang here said that ten years ago, he had encountered a crossbow while digging an ancient tomb. It was when he was digging in the Kuozhuang Chu Tomb in Shangcai County, Henan Province. The ancient tomb adopted a unique anti-theft technique. It uses the method of accumulation of sand and stone accumulation. When the tomb robbers dig a hole to dig a layer of sand, the sand will flow into the hole, and the flow of sand will cause the stone to collapse. The smallest is only 3 kilograms and the largest is 165 kilograms. These stones are of different shapes, with sharp edges and corners, and the placement of the stones is also carefully designed. They can be roughly divided into rock layers, capstone layers, capstone layers, lumbar stone layers and undercover stone layers, which can prevent thieves from entering from different parts. After the top of the tomb collapses, a large number of them are piled up in the coffin, effectively preventing them from being stolen.

...

As the saying goes, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Lin Yi felt this way at this time.

However, while Lin Yi was thinking about these stories, he saw Ye Qiu, who was in charge of driving, slowed down the car, and the car swayed into a remote path.
