In 1996, an ancient tomb was discovered in Rehui Township, Haixizhou, Qinghai Province. The ancient tomb was around the 8th century AD. After the archaeological experts arrived, hundreds of ancient tombs were discovered one after another around it. Archaeologists named it "Reshui Tombs", among which the most intact tomb was named "Xuewei No.1 Tomb". In fact, the local Tibetan compatriots evasively talked about the topic of "Xuewei No. 1 Tomb":

Because it is said that in the ancient times of Tibet, a great hero came from heaven. Led the Tibetans to defeat the Demon Race and the Demon Kingdom, and sealed the head of the Demon Race in the nine-story demon tower. The demon tower is extremely jealous, afraid to approach the demon tower and be harmed by the sealed monster in the demon tower. However, based on the cultural relics unearthed from the "Demon Tower", archaeologists found that the legend mentioned by the Tibetans did have a certain basis.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, today the Haixizhou area in Qinghai belongs to a country called Tuyuhun. Regarding Tuyuhun, friends who like Tang poetry are no strangers, because there is such a sentence in the Tang poem: The former army night battle in Taohebei, has been reported to capture Tuyuhun. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, while Datang was rising in national power, the Tubo tribe on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also gave birth to an inexorable great Zanpu, Songtsen Gampo. Tubo under the leadership of Songtsen Gampo also began to embark on the road of expansion, and Tuyuhun, located between Datang and Tubo, was undoubtedly flanked by two forces:

Tang Taizong, a famous general Hou Junji once attacked Tuyuhun, forcing Chief Tuyuhun to proclaim his court in Tang Dynasty, but the Tuyuhun tribe did not wait for the time to come, and the Tubo army came to attack Tuyuhun and completely destroyed Tuyuhun. After the Tuyuhun was destroyed by Tubo, the Tubo praised Puyu Hun to hold a witchcraft ritual, placing all the bodies of the Tuyuhun people in a nine-story tomb, and then imposing a curse so that the souls of the Tuyuhun people will be imprisoned forever Here, the sky will never be seen again.

Over time, Tubo destroyed the Tuyuhun and then ordered Bon masters to curse the Tuyuhun people, which gave rise to the myth that the Tubo heroes would destroy the demons. However, regarding the excavation of the nine-story demon tower, the archaeologists stopped excavating only to the second level. Regarding the reasons, the archaeological department has not announced to the society. Therefore, there are many related legends in the society: there are legends that when archaeologists touch the clothes of the deceased, these clothes will immediately turn into ashes, but when you walk a few steps Later, these clothes suddenly returned to their previous state.

This situation made the archaeological team silent, worried that there is a curse in the nine-story demon tower, so they stopped excavating. In addition, there are legends that after the archaeological team unearthed the nine-story demon tower, it either suffered from strange illnesses or had nightmares at night. Even at night, they heard various eerie and terrifying calls near the demon tower. Frightened. Of course these are all legends. However, it is also said that this is because the archaeological team has no experience in excavating Tuyuhun tombs, which caused many cultural relics to be damaged. Therefore, they were forced to stop the operation and wait until the future conditions are mature before conducting excavations.
