From the beginning of spring to the middle of April, the wind is like thunder and lightning is close at hand, from May to July it rains one after another, it snows heavily in mid-August, and the river freezes in early September. When the snow reaches the ground, it becomes solid ice, and there is a vast white snow for thousands of miles. This is the truest portrayal of the current situation in Ningguta.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, after a dignitary committed a serious crime, he was often frightened into a mental disorder because of the emperor's sentence "sent to Ningguta and the people in armor are slaves, and they will never be allowed to enter the customs".

Ningguta is in the extreme north of Liaodong, the middle reaches of the Danjiang River, the north of the Tujiang River, and the east of the Wusu River, where the climate is cold, the environment is harsh, similar to the distant Siberia, known as the most famous bitter cold land in the early Qing Dynasty, the prisoners who were sent here were either killed in the middle of the road, or died in the local area, so until the late Qing Dynasty, this is a place that makes people smell and change.

Ningguta, which at the time was known as the closest place to "hell", was definitely quite figurative, although it was a bit exaggerated.

Wang Changsheng's first reaction when he heard that it was Ningguta was incredulous, and then he became a little short of breath, because he knew that this place in the extreme north of Liaodong was actually the dragon head of the Manchu Dragon Vein.

Mr. Jin has a martial arts novel, and the final ending writes that Wei Xiaobao led the people who oppose the Qing Dynasty to restore the Tomorrow Earth Society to the border of Baitou Mountain, because the legend is that the treasure house and dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty are here, for this reason, the Qing court has also stationed heavy troops at the foot of the mountain, as long as the Manchu dragon vein is destroyed and the treasure house is moved, the Qing court will naturally disappear.

This statement is also true, but the Manchu dragon vein is not all in Baitou Mountain, it is just a branch vein, in fact, it is easy to think about it, how can the vein of a dynasty be so easily known, if the dragon vein is really subverted, then there is indeed the possibility of dying the dynasty, at that time, only a few people knew the location of the Manchu dragon vein, in addition to the emperor is the national teacher of the imperial court, the great wizard from the shaman knows, and there may be several high-powered ministers.

Also, the people in the Kunlun view on the Jade Void Peak naturally also know.

Wang Changsheng's face changed twice, and he couldn't help frowning and asked, "The tomb of King Beji, in Ningguta?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Tang Kun nodded and said: "We have already determined the approximate location, Xiaosi has been there to investigate recently, trying to find the entrance to the tomb, I went over in advance this time to study this matter with him, so you have to wait here for two days, and when the tomb is found, we will go down immediately, go back quickly." ”

Wang Changsheng said: "In March, the temperature in the entire Northeast is still hovering below zero and has never crossed the threshold of zero degrees, this is the extreme north of Liaodong, the rivers may not thaw in April, and there may be snow in May.

"I say that eight or nine are not far from ten, because we have used the Luoyang shovel to dig the Ningguta before, where the surface layer is very hard and uncivilized, but I don't know why, the soil below half a meter is very soft......"

Wang Changsheng was stunned and said, "This is impossible!"

"Regarding digging pits and robbing tombs, I don't allow anyone to question my professionalism!" Tang Kun said with a wide eyeball.

Wang Changsheng spread his hands and said, "You are reasonable, you have the final say." ”

Wang Changsheng surveyed the cemetery to find dragon points, he may be a master, but if you want to talk about tomb robbery, whether it is theory or practice, he can't even get started, but from what Fu Jiu heard about Tang Kun's resume, this definitely has to be a master among the masters, Wang Changsheng will never question the other party in the field he is not good at.

That night, Wang Changsheng, Liang Pingping, Tang Kun and Nagano stayed here temporarily, there was heating in the house, and it was not airtight everywhere, so it was very warm to stay, and the passers-by were tired for the past few days, and several of them basically fell asleep soon after lying down.

This sleep, I slept until the next day, and when Wang Changsheng and Liang Pingping got up, Tang Kun and Nagano were gone, the Passat was parked in the yard, and the pickup truck drove away.

Wang Changsheng looked at his phone, and there was a message left by Tang Kun.

"It's a bit of a place here, if you want to be active, you'd better not go far, there's rice in the tank, potatoes and cabbage in the cellar, and some meat is frozen on the windowsill outside the house, enough for you and Xiao Pingping to last for two days, and I'll probably be able to come back at that time." ”

When it was close to noon, Wang Changsheng cooked a meal, rice, a pot of fried potatoes, and stewed pork vermicelli with cabbage.

"What does it taste?" Wang Changsheng asked quite conspicuously.

"I didn't expect you to still want this craft?" Liang Pingping asked vaguely while eating.

"When I was in the mountains, there were few people, sometimes one or two or three people, and when I first came up the mountain, I was the youngest, and everything fell on me, including cooking."

Liang Pingping was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Why did you tell me that you were from the Yuxu Peak of Kunlun Mountain when you met me twice before?"

"Hehe, what's wrong?"

"I heard that the people of Kunlun Mountain are ......" Liang Ping paused and asked in an uncertain tone: "Many people will be hostile to you, but I don't know what the reason is, but I heard the people from Penglai say, aren't you afraid that I will stab you out?"

"Will you?"

"Probably not"

"That's not it, I believed in you and Emperor Zhou at that time, because I believed in my own eyes more" Wang Changsheng pointed to himself and said very firmly: "The eyes of the people of Kunlun Temple can not only see the mountains and water, but also see people."

Liang Pingping glanced at Wang Changsheng and asked, "What do you think of Tang Kun?"

Wang Changsheng paused, in fact, whether it is Tang Kun's profession or his style of doing things, this is not a person you should take the initiative to associate with, to sum it up, this is a very dangerous person, he is like a powder keg with a lead exposed, I can't say when it will detonate if you are not careful, it is best to stay away from him.

"Others should be no worse, provided that you have to hold a share of his mind that you would rather bear the world than his mind......"

A few miles east of the Wusu River, it is freezing here, and it is snow-capped as far as the eye can see.

Tang Kun wrapped in an army-green coat, bit a cigarette and complained: "This place is really not from people, Nima, it's March, the rape flowers in the south are about to bloom all over the mountain, there is not even a little green here, this north wind blows like a bone scraper, it's too uncomfortable." ”

Opposite Tang Kun was Nagano and a young man wearing a thick sheepskin jacket and a leather felt hat, he was not tall and seemed to be only about one meter six, and his figure was quite thin, but a pair of eyes looked like voles in the field, always turning back and forth, not stopping for a moment, but I have to say that he was quite spiritual.

This is Xiao Si, the person who is responsible for the investigation and release of the wind in the pit digging group of Tang Kun is generally the one that Tang Kun trusts the most in Nagano and another person, because there has been a rule for digging a pit and going down the tomb since ancient times, no matter how many people go down to the tomb, there must be a person who releases the wind, and in ancient times, the release of the tomb and the tomb are basically the relationship between father and son or brothers, and outsiders basically can't do this job, because if there is a little omission, the people below will definitely not have the opportunity to come up.

"That's no way, if you really wait until the spring flowers bloom, there should be fishing boats on the river, and there are also farmers in the surrounding fields, there are many people, and you really can't do it."

Tang Kun sighed, very helpless but not in a rut, this is also the reason why they chose to start around March, the Wusu River around April should be civilized, there are often fishing boats coming and going, and then the surrounding fields should also be cultivated at the time, such as today's cold day and night can not see people, the nearest village from here is also more than ten miles away.

"Poof" Tang Kun spit out the cigarette butt, sighed and said: "Okay, it's coming, don't talk nonsense, do business"

"The mouth is almost found, but you have to come and make a conclusion as a professional, and the small effort is still a little worse, so I don't dare to cover the coffin. Xiao Si teased a couple of sentences and led Tang Kun and Nagano forward for a while.

On a flat ground, there is a pile of bud rice poles, Xiao Si stretched out his hand to pull it aside, and there was a hole about one meter square leaking out of the ground, which was dark and swarthy underneath, but what was a little bizarre was that if you put your hand on the mouth, you could obviously feel that what came from below was not cool, but a little warm.

"Slap" Tang Kun fell directly into the hole, and then raised his hand Xiao Si handed him a shovel: "Brother Kun, about three meters inside, you can dig it out." ”

"That's it!" Tang Kun took the Luoyang shovel, bent down and got into the power below, climbed forward for a while, then raised the shovel and inserted it downward, the soil here was not passive for some reason, he shoveled out a large piece.

After a while, Tang Kun came back from the cave, Xiao Si and Nagano pulled him up, he reached out and picked up a small handful of soil in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, Nagano asked very longingly: "Brother, what does it smell?"

Nagano asked, in jargon, what dynasty he came from.

A captain with extremely rich experience can determine whether there is a tomb under the ground just by a handful of soil shoveled out by a Luoyang shovel, and then from what era.

Tang Kun didn't say anything for a long time, he kept frowning, obviously thinking about something, and waited for three or five minutes before he nodded firmly and said, "There is a big tomb below!"

Suddenly, Nagano and Xiao Si smiled with relief, especially Xiao Si said with emotion: "Damn, I haven't gone home for the New Year, I've been stationed here, and I don't know how many pits I dug before I finally determined this piece, Brother Kun, you said that there is a big tomb, then it can be regarded as me not tossing this little half a year in vain." ”

"But I can't tell what it tastes like," Tang Kun said, looking up.

Little four: "......"

Nagano asked a little hurriedly: "No, how is this possible, you have never missed a step in this regard, we have dug twenty or thirty pits, you have never been able to break it once, this time it was empty?"

"Give me a cigarette" Tang Kun smoked irritably, and said uncertainly: "I'm also strange, it was called Beji in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was called Jin Yan in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the age of King Beji is a bit far away, but it stands to reason that it can't run out of the range that I can determine, unless there is only one possibility." ”

Nagano blinked and asked, "What?"

Tang Kun licked his lips, gritted his teeth and said, " Unless the tomb of King Beji is still in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and even passed the Qin, my master pushed it back then is about that year, but it is such a long history, and no one can say which era it is, mainly because the existence of King Beji is recorded too little in the history books, there are no classics for reference, and the information we can get is still the news that our vein has been collected little by little by several generations of Jinxiao Lieutenant, so in other words, since there is a big tomb, it must be King Beji's, but the age cannot be determined。 ”

Beji is the name of an ethnic minority in ancient Northeast China, born and bred in the Northeast region since ancient times, is the ancestor of the Manchu people, to say that the origin of the most widespread theory is in the north of Goguryeo, south of Baektu Mountain, west to Taoer River, north and east is not a clear conclusion.

Beji is an extremely rare name, unless it is a person who specializes in history, the vast majority of people must not have heard of it, but although Beji used to be the name of a nation, but in fact, this is also a dynasty, called Beji Dynasty.

It's just that the existence of the Beji Dynasty is very short and very short, so short that there is no record in the history books, and it is not even classified into the ancient countries in our Chinese civilization, the most famous and the most mysterious three mysterious ancient kingdoms in the world, Loulan, Yelang, and Dian Kingdom, and finally disappeared mysteriously overnight, although it is very mysterious, many people have heard of it, and there are records in the book, but it is difficult for Beji to find any words in the historical materials.

What you don't understand is often the most dangerous.

Tang Kun spat out a turbid breath, pointed to his feet and said: "The tomb is decided, as for what age, there is no need to delve into it, anyway, if you don't understand it, let's do it for the time being, let's find an exit next." ”

Normally, this kind of tomb, the entrance and exit are not in the same place, you have to admit that the ancients in the construction of the tomb, its wisdom is almost comparable to that of modern scientific researchers, it is difficult to imagine a thousand or even two thousand years ago the ancients had something in their heads, not to mention anything else, just say that the most famous tomb of the first emperor in this land, more than 2,000 years have passed until now, we have not even found how to get in.

It stands to reason that the tomb of King Beji, the import must be the most difficult to enter, and the absolute mechanism is heavy, with Tang Kun's experience to see that this tomb is absolutely not able to return the same way after entering, it is extremely likely that the entrance will be sealed after you enter the inside, and then go out from another place, which is convenient for the funeral people to leave after sending the coffin, so it is designed to not go back.

At this time, it was already dark, and the three of them surveyed the tomb for a long time, and they dug several pits on the ground, and then dug down with a shovel to dig out the soil above the tomb again, so as to determine what trend the range of Begi Wangmu presented.

That night, in the middle of the night, Tang Kun, Xiao Si and Nagano lit a bonfire in this big field, sat around and cooked a pot of noodles, and then dealt with it simply, they planned to temporarily stay here for the next two days.

Xiao Si took a sip of hot soup in a small basin, picked up a poached egg, thought for a while and asked, "Brother, are you sure of the person you are looking for?" The four of us are working, but no outsiders have ever come in, and two of them have come at a time."

Tang Kun unscrewed a bottle of Lao Baigan, raised his head and took a big sip, the spicy alcohol burned until his stomach was up and down, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, he wiped the wine stains on his mouth and asked lightly, "You question me?"

"Hehe, that's not it, your vision is absolutely fine, but what I'm afraid of is that after the other party goes to the grave with you, the technology will not work well and then drag us down. ”

Tang Kun handed Lao Baigan to Xiao Si, picked up the noodles and said: "He must be a novice in terms of tomb robbing, and Mao has no experience, but you have to look at it from another angle, that is, after we go down to the tomb, you have to treat the tomb as another world, so people are not novices, he doesn't understand what we understand, and we may not know what he understands, what is this called?" It's called cooperation, and I don't want to find outsiders to participate, but there are too many uncertainties in the tomb this time, and the team we pull up must have talents in all aspects, otherwise it may be gone forever. ”

Tang Kun touched the straw man in his arms, he never forgot that when he was in Chang'an City, the words that Wang Changsheng told him were like a stone in his heart, and he was still a little out of breath.

One night, another day later, Tang Kun and the three of them came to a position about 100 meters along the Wusu River, and the three of them looked solemn with helplessness and grievance.

Even though it's March, the ice on the river is still at least a meter thick, so there is no problem with running cars on the river.

"Brother, are you sure it's really under the river?" asked Xiao Si twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Hmm," Tang Kun's mouth was full of bitterness.

It took more than a day, and the three of them finally determined that the exit of King Beji should be under the Wusu River, the specific direction has not yet been determined, and the approximate straight-line distance should be about two kilometers, that is to say, even if they enter the tomb, the whole process is unharmed, and finally they have to come out of the river, but the thinnest place of the ice in this season has one meter, and the thick place can even reach one and a half to two meters, and the water temperature you don't have to guess to know that it is more than ten degrees below zero, and there are two problems that people have to face underwater, the temperature is too low, there is no oxygen, if they can't come out of the water within a certain time, they all have to suffocate and freeze to death under the ice, the most important thing is that they can't bring too many things after going to the tomb, cotton clothes and oxygen cylinders can't go down together, Nima, this problem is serious.

"What to do?" Nagano asked.

"A dead horse should be a live horse doctor, let's do it hard......"

Another day later, a pickup truck drove on the river and came to a top of the ice, Xiao Si and Nagano jumped out of the car, Tang Kun sat on the ice and took out his mobile phone and jumped out of the stopwatch, and nodded to the two.

"Tutubu!" Xiao Si took an electric drill and directly began to drill holes in the ice, and after opening an ice hole in a three-point positioning method, Nagano quickly took a deep breath and jumped into the icy water.

"How much time?" Xiao Si asked, looking up.

"The speed at which the ice is opened, almost three minutes"

Xiao Si frowned and said, "It's over, why don't you choke him?"

"Wow" Two minutes later, Nagano came out of the ice hole, Xiao Si grabbed him and dragged the person to it, Nagano was so cold that he shivered and gritted his teeth and asked, "How much time?"

"It takes three minutes to open the ice, and the time you hold on under the ice is one minute and fifty seconds, which is one minute short" Tang Kun sighed and said: " We are not professional diving personnel, plus the temperature is too low, it is difficult to hold on to three minutes, not to mention that the ice here is still relatively thin, if our exit is in a thicker ice place, it is estimated that Xiaosi opened a hole to come out, it will take four minutes, no oxygen does not wear cold-proof clothing, no one can last so long underwater, either freeze to death or suffocation, the most important thing is that I have not counted the time when the people on the ice and under the ice meet, if the two parties meet in the middle of the delay a little, then the time is completely insufficient。 ”

Tang Kun and the others are doing a test, in order to grasp the maximum and abandon all dangerous factors, their exit is under the Wusu River, after the people in the tomb come out of the tomb, the people must be in the river under the ice, at this time the people on the ice will open the frozen layer as quickly as possible, so that the people in the water can get out, this is all right.

However, after the test of drilling and ice opening and diving, they calculated that the time was a little different, and if they went on rashly, it was estimated that it would be difficult for people to get up.

"Eighteen bows, is it possible to achieve the difference in this trembling?" Nagano twisted his eyebrows and said: "Otherwise, we will transfer the two blacks back, and the people who let the wind above will leave two, and the time to open the ice will be a little faster."

Tang Kun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "That's not possible, he can't delay it now, but if you want to keep people, I will go down with Changye and Wang Changsheng, and it's okay to leave Xiaosi and Liang Pingping on it." ”

"What if you blast at a fixed point? When you come out of the water, we will make a few holes in the ice on the river in advance, stuff explosives in them, and wait for you to come out of the tomb, and then immediately detonate and directly open a piece of ice, so that the time will definitely be much faster," Xiao Si said tentatively.

Tang Kun was stunned for a moment, and Nagano asked: "How do you know where we are underwater, if the blast is wrong and explodes above our heads, it will be killed directly." ”

Xiao Si waved his hand and said: "This is simple, just bring a burning rod for each of you, we did it in the dark, the light of the burning stick is easy to see to determine the direction, when the time comes, we will blast the ice in the closest place to you, anyway, the distance in a straight line is one kilometer, the range is enough"

Tang Kun let out a sigh, nodded and said, "Safely, just do it......"
