This is the real nine-story demon tower in reality, the prototype of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and it has really been patronized by Captain Touching Gold;
In the 1940s, after the army of the northwest king Ma Bufang found this ancient tomb, he immediately went back to report and led the team to come, because at that time it was often necessary to fight wars, and the local people have been rumored that this is a "high-rise building with monsters", so the local farmers and herdsmen call it a nine-story demon building;
But Ma Bufang relied on the army and guns and cannons, so he was naturally not afraid, so despite the opposition of the locals, he insisted on opening the nine-story demon tower, and the treasures on the first floor alone allowed them to transport it for three days and three nights, and a large number of animal bones were found on the second floor
Just as they were looking for the tomb gate on the third floor, some soldiers in the army began to go crazy, shooting indiscriminately, and even mutilating themselves, since then the Ma family army suddenly all withdrew, only saying that the front line was going to fight again, and then hurriedly set a fire before leaving, until now you can still see a lot of black slag on the ground;
After the 80s, although the site had been excavated several times, the expedition team still unearthed Eastern Roman gold coins, Persian silver coins and more than 350 precious silk fabrics in salvage excavations, and found more than 700 animal remains in the second layer. And named this place as the No. 1 tomb of Xuewei, which is one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China in 1996;
According to archaeologists, it took 10,000 people a whole year to build this complex tomb, which is even more majestic than the royal tombs of Songtsen Gampo at the same time, and there are more than 200 large and small tombs scattered around it
But the bizarre thing is that the scientific expedition team only dug two layers and then stopped digging, did they encounter the same problem as Ma Jiajun?
It is said that in the process of excavation, all kinds of strange events also began to occur, and the locals were afraid that the excavation of the demon tower would bring bad omen, and there were many riots for a while, in order to prevent the continuation of the archaeological work, and finally had to announce that considering the national sentiment and the difficulty of cultural relics protection, the archaeological work was stopped in stages after cleaning out the first and second layers, and the ancient tomb was restored, and the remaining seven floors decided to continue excavation and exploration when the conditions were ripe in the future.
In the end, it was also determined that the owner of the tomb was the tomb of King Tuyuhun, who ruled Qinghai-Tibet and the Western Regions for 350 years from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. We can now also see that every meter or so, a layer of neatly arranged and uniform thickness of cypress trees crosses through, a total of nine layers, presumably the further down you go, the greater the surprise will be.
It's good to be curious, I'm the director, we'll see you next time!
