says that Xu Chu and Cao Hong were Cao Cao's Jinshiwei and the General of the Central Army of Faqiu, and there is no historical basis. However, it is an indisputable fact that tomb robbery was prevalent in ancient times. There is no record of robbery in Cao Cao's Gaoling. Liu Bei's Huiling was robbed during the Dahe period of Tang Wenzong, but it is well documented.
records that Liu Bei Huiling was stolen. He was Duan Chengshi, who was known as the "Four Talents of the Late Tang Dynasty" together with Du Mu , Li Shangyin , and Wen Tingyun . This person has another identity, that is, the descendant of Lingyan Pavilion , the descendant of Duan Zhixuan , and the son of 日本文日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日�
Duan Chengshi's father Duan Wenchang served as the governor of Sichuan twice. During the Yamato period of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, Duan Chengshi followed his father to Xichuan . That is, between the fourth and the nine years of Yamato, Duan Chengshi got a news: Liu Bei's Huiling had just been stolen.
Duan Chengshi is recorded in his famous book "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu·Volume 13": "There are thieves recently, and the tomb of the first lord of Shu is released."
It is not uncommon for Liu Bei's Huiling to be stolen. People in the Tang Dynasty also like to rob tombs. Duan Chengshi's colleague judge (the judge is Sui and Tang Dynasties) The official names that appeared after are generally staff members of the Jiedushi, Observer, and Defense Instructor. The " Bai Xue Song Sends Judge Wu to Beijing " we have learned is the judge of Feng Changqing, the governor of Anxi Beiting, Feng Changqing, who sent him the former surnamed Wu) Li Miao . A farmer even stole Cao Cao's Gaoling, but he encountered the tomb of Jishi Jisha. After saving his life, he never did the tomb robbery again.
, recorded in the form of , Cao Cao Gaoling, , was stolen, which is exactly the same as many archaeological discoveries today. This shows that Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu" is extremely credible.
Li Miao's patrolman entered Gaoling and first encountered a stone door sealed with iron. He soaked with corrosive substances for many days before he opened the stone door - it can be seen that the tomb robbers at that time still knew some chemical knowledge.
The tomb robbers who opened the stone gate first ushered in a rain of arrows. After being shot several people, they remembered to throw stones into the corridor to trigger the mechanism: "Every time the arrow is thrown out, more than ten stones are thrown, and the arrows do not recur, and they enter because of the torch."
Holding a torch into the second door, and encountering a mechanical puppet with not very strong combat power: "There are dozens of wooden people, and they open their eyes and use their swords, and injured several people. The crowd hit them with sticks, and the soldiers are all defeated."
The mechanical puppet is vulnerable because of its age, which is much more reliable than the "mechanical beasts" played in film and television dramas.
The reason why Cao Cao's Gaoling is the tomb of stone and sand that archaeologists call, can also be found in "Youyang Zazu": " There is a large lacquer coffin on the south wall, hanging with iron ropes, and gold, jade and pearls are gathered under it. The crowd was afraid, and they plundered it before they could. The wind suddenly rustled at the two corners of the coffin, and sand burst into people's face. After a moment, the wind was so strong that the sand came out as if it was poured, and then it was gone. The door was blocked. One person was in danger of leaving. He buried his body in the sand again. "
Cao Cao's Gaoling has too many mechanisms and is a tomb of sand accumulated by stones and sand, so it may not have been robbed yet. Some experts dug some time ago, which may be fake Cao Cao's tomb : Two skeletons, one big and one small, were found. Some people say that the older Cao Cao was the old Cao Cao, and the younger Cao Cao when he was a child, that's a joke.
What is more magical than the joke is Liu Bei's Huiling. The tomb robber actually saw Liu Bei drinking and playing chess leisurely inside, but I don't know if he was playing chess with him Guan Yu Zhao Yun or Zhuge Liang Fa Zheng Pang Tong: "The robbers all saw two people wearing lights to face chess, and more than ten guards were guards."
What's even more magical is that "Liu Bei" who plays chess actually spoke: "Do you drink? "
tomb robbers were all scared (fearing thanks). After drinking a glass of wine, they plucked up their courage to make a request: "If you can give me a few more jade belts , we won't be in vain! ”
Liu Bei ordered the servants to throw a few jade belts and let them get out quickly (just out of their lives).
The tomb robber rolled and crawled out of Huiling, turned around and found that the robbery had returned to its original state. What they were holding was not a jade belt at all, but a super long snake!
This matter looks strange, but from the current scientific perspective, it is not difficult to explain. Half a pot of old wine is a little unfamiliar, and you can find three answers from it. As for which answer is more reliable, you must ask readers to clearly distinguish it.
The first answer is also from Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu": "The tomb of the King of Pingling of Han, many foxes. Those who come out of the hole are all covered with dust. Someone came to the fox's hole and got a golden knife, tweezing, and a jade saliva. "
From the records of Duancheng, we cannot help but suspect that the tomb robbers saw not Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, but two foxes, and they created illusions in fear.
This answer is contrary to science, we can put it aside for the time being, and then find the second answer from "Youyang Zazu": "There is Qijing Cemetery in the northeast of Beiqiu County. In recent times, some people opened it. They entered three feet below. A goose in the stone chamber, and the goose turned its wings to lift the stone. After entering one meter further down, the green air rose up. Looking at it like pottery smoke, birds passed by and fell to death, so they did not dare to enter. "
The answer is a bit scientific: the ancient tomb is buried underground for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and a large amount of decayed poison gas has accumulated. These poison gases can be fatal and hallucinated, so tomb robbers will regard the murals as real people, and then scare themselves to death in the hallucination.
The two answers found in the official "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu", one is completely unreliable, and the other is half scientific. Half a pot of old wine based on the history of tomb robbery, and the third answer was also inferred: These tomb robbers met their peers who took the lead!
Tomb robbing is a high-risk profession. Being caught by the government is basically a dead end. When the black man is killed or buried, he is the first to kill and bury the thieves who entered Huiling first. He found another group of people coming to share the fat. In order to avoid the encounter of swords and weapons, he put on the armor of Liu Bei that he had already obtained and sat there pretending to be a ghost to scare people.
people are scary, scaring people. The first one came away and then came. This matter was passed down by word of mouth, and the more he spread, the more he became more and more magical. In Duan Chengshi's ears, he became "tomb robbers met Liu Bei playing chess in Huiling. "
Half of old wine asserted that those lies are common tricks for tomb robbers. What they saw in Huiling was neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang nor two foxes, but were plotted by their peers or had hallucinations.
Of course, the three answers and assertions of half of old wine were only guesses based on historical materials and could not be completely accurate. The final conclusion is also for readers: The stories circulating in the tomb robber industry are mysterious and mysterious, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity. In your opinion, how many are purely fictional, and how many can be explained by science? What have you heard of a story that is even more outrageous than the tomb robbers meeting Liu Bei?
