In 2003, at the Horqin Quarry, the workers dug out a lot of bluestone slabs, which had a faint red color on them, which was very different from the surrounding rocks, but the workers did not care, but just piled these bluestone slabs in the corner.
These bluestone slabs have been placed in the corner and no one cares, and then by chance, a worker found that these bluestone slabs were engraved with some characters, so some people began to wonder if this was the tomb bricks of the ancient tomb or the like, because there has always been a legend of an ancient tomb in the local area.
According to the local old man, there is a local HuXu tomb, which is said to be guarded by demons and ghosts, and it is an ancient tomb left behind by the Khitans when they retreated, which is full of gold and silver jewelry they plundered in the past.
Soon, local archaeologists also learned of the Horqin quarry and rushed to the quarry to study the bluestone slabs, which, according to experts, were indeed part of the tomb, and the writing on them was the former Khitan script.
This confirmed the local Hu Xu Tomb, archaeologists explored the quarry and found that there was indeed a huge ancient tomb under the quarry, and finally the archaeologists decided to excavate the legendary Hu Xu Tomb.
After more than two months of cleaning work, experts finally found the tomb door of the ancient tomb, this tomb door is about three meters high, the whole gilded, looks very gorgeous, when the expert opened the tomb door, what came into view was shining gold.
In the middle of the ancient tomb is a big red phoenix coffin, surrounded by gold bowls, gold coins, gilded saddles, crystal cups, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, Rao is a well-informed expert, but also shocked unable to speak, some archaeologists can not help but feel the excitement of the heart, ready to open the coffin directly.
But before the coffin was opened, experts found that the entire coffin began to turn black and oxidized, and there were small silver water droplets around it, and the experts immediately realized that this ancient tomb was full of mercury, even in the air, the experts immediately withdrew from the tomb, and then ventilated, and cleaned up the mercury, if it was not found in time, the experts were likely to be recruited.
