Chapter 1153: Popular Science of Tomb Prevention (4)
?? The biggest difference between Lian Cheng Xu and Moon Flame is that he is just a partial talent, while Moon Flame is an unprecedented all-rounder, all places like tombs are completely taboo for Yue Da Shao, but Lian Cheng Xu is a little bit mustard in his heart.
If you don't come here, if you don't hear about this, you won't realize how much those ancients attach importance to what is behind him, and he is happy and a little worried, whether it is really appropriate for him to disturb the peace of affairs by so stirring up the people!
Soon, with Zhou Shiyang's introduction, everyone got to know the remaining forms of centralized anti-tomb organs.
The sixth type is the chain flipper, which is a mechanism designed to make full use of the principle of balance, and once you get hit, unless you have extremely sharp reflexes in an instant, it is basically a dead end.
This kind of mechanism is generally arranged on the soles of the feet of tomb robbers, and usually some traps are set up in the tomb tunnel, and sharp knives and cones are distributed under the pits that are about half the length of an adult's arm. The upper layer of the pit is covered with several planks, with a shaft in the middle of the plank, and a small object of the same weight is decorated with a balance scale, and there is a cover on the board.
This kind of mechanism is designed to make it easy for people to walk and suddenly disappear into the national highway, and usually by the time they are discovered, people are already helpless.
According to a story that Zhou Shiyang once read in the organization of the school captain who touched gold, it was said that during the Republic of China, when the peasants in Qingzhou, Dongshan Province were cultivating fields, they found a large mound in the mountain, and a flap with a shaft was found in the tomb, and there was a pit under the board, and the pit was densely covered with sharp blades. When the peasants noticed that there was a lot of water in the pit, they were frightened by the sight of two people lying on their backs and lying on their stomachs, surrounded by shovels, hammers, ropes and other tools, apparently carried by the tomb robbers.
The seventh is to put poisons, for this, Lian Chengxu said that he was not very stressed, but after listening to Zhou Shiyang's introduction, he was a little dignified, because these poisons were not the same as he understood.
There are all kinds of poisons used in this kind of poison tomb, but the more famous ones are mercury pools and corpse poisons.
"In ancient times, the more commonly used poison is mercury, in the Qin, Han and previous tombs, the use of mercury records more, the tomb has a special pool of mercury, the poison gas formed by the evaporation of mercury over time will create a lot of trouble for tomb robbers. According to ancient records, one of the more famous purposes of this type is the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Sima Qian once recorded in it that the amount of mercury used in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was staggering, filling the entire strata in the mausoleum, forming a terrible underground poisonous river. With the understanding of the chemical properties of mercury at that time, it would not have been unnoticed that the phenomenon of mercury poisoning was not noticed, and it was natural to use this property of mercury for anti-theft design. ”
Zhou Shiyang's words somewhat sounded the alarm for Lian Chengxu, the ancients also had a knowledge of arranging poisons, and they were so fast that they didn't give him time to detoxify at all, even if he had a detoxification skill, if he didn't have enough time, he would really be easy to die.
In addition to mercury, Zhou Shiyang also said something called corpse poison, which is not the same as today's zombie virus, because this poison was taken by the ancients themselves to some extent. A few days before their deaths, the ancients had a premonition that their life was over, and they often took things like dansha to ensure that their bodies would not rot for a long time after death.
"About this poison, there is a very important reason, you should all know, the feudal emperors in ancient times were particularly obvious, they were very superstitious about longevity and other elixirs, dansha, elixir, these medicines, all contain toxic substances such as mercury, accumulated in the body, between the bones, after a long time will definitely be emitted, objectively it will form a 'corpse poison'. So this is also what we should pay more attention to, and we must prevent poisoning. ”
"Sure enough, being rich is capricious, Qin Shi Huang, as the first emperor to unify all countries, not only made such a magnificent burial pit himself, but even the tomb is said to be so miraculous, fortunately we are not going to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang this time, otherwise, it is really possible to be played to death by him!" Gu Qiang sighed, feeling that the ancients were really good at playing, they were all dead, and they had to work so hard and waste money and money, and they were so willful, they were really willful.
Zhou Shiyang smiled embarrassedly, "These methods are quite humane, if you don't go into the mausoleum to die, it won't kill you, but there are some measures to prevent tomb robbery, you will really be angry when you hear it, such as what I'm going to say next, you should have thought of it, right?" ”
Hearing Zhou Shiyang's words, Mu Yuexuan's face changed slightly, she was familiar with the history books of Huaxia Kingdom, and naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Shiyang's words, "What you said is ......?"
"That's right, the eighth anti-tomb robbery method is to slaughter craftsmen! Of all the anti-theft methods, this method of martyrdom can be said to be mysterious, and of course it is also the most human rights violation, and there is no humanity at all. ”
Tomb robbery methods like this are generally privileged only by nobles or even emperors. In the early imperial funerals, it was common for all the craftsmen who built the mausoleum and those who knew about it to be executed on the spot, and over time, this method eventually evolved into a terrible old practice, and it was also called "martyrdom".
In essence, this so-called "burial" is basically a killing action taken by the owner of the tomb and his descendants to prevent the leakage of secrets by those in the know, and it is a very bloody and extreme anti-theft method.
Regarding this point, Zhou Shiyang only gave two of the simplest examples, one is Qin Shi Huang and the other is Genghis Khan, after listening, several people present were silent.
Not long after his death, the heir of Qin II, Hu Hai, transported his body back to Xianyang and buried him in a mausoleum that had been built near Lishan for many years.
Just after Qin Shi Huang's funeral was completed, in order to prevent leakage, Hu Hai ordered that no one should be left alive.
As for how many lives this Qin II killed at that time, there is no specific data, as a generation of writers Sima Qian, who wrote, he only summarized it with "the dead are very lying".
Yan Jin actually knows a little bit, if more than 700,000 people who have been punished to repair the tomb are executed, it will be the most martyrdom in the world, which is simply the same as Qin Shi Huang's "book burning and Confucianism" in the past.
As for the burial method of Genghis Khan's mausoleum, it made them feel that it was too miserable and inhumane.
