At seven o'clock that night, we took our tools and excavated at the marked point that we had done.

There were only four of them, me, my brother, grandpa, the fat man, and the others were all in the UFO.

Because this place is not a place where the road passes, there are not many people coming, and when night comes, even fewer people come.

We dug down with the boldness, and tried to dig the hole before 12 o'clock, hoping to get something out.

The soil of the grassland is soft, and it is easier to make holes than the mountains of Fujian, and a lot of the soil is piece by piece, with sufficient moisture and not so much dust.

The excavated clods of earth were set aside, waiting for them to be stuffed back into the hole.

I relied on my memories in the illusion world, recalled the process of entering the Eighth White House at that time, and followed the memories of that time, digging down little by little.

After digging about ten meters, it was already a very deep level, and the soil that came out was already with sand, and I was a little anxious, so I said, "Isn't it here?"

Grandpa and the fat man squatted in the pile of sand dug out at the same time, and the fat man picked up a piece of sand, then pinched it with his hands, put it under his nose and smelled it.

"Old way, there is a play. After smelling it, the fat man suddenly said happily: "This sand has the smell of burning charcoal. ”

Grandpa quickly picked up a piece and pinched it, then took a deep breath and frowned slightly.

I followed their example and sniffed it, but there was only the smell of sand and grass in my nose, and where was the smell of charcoal?

"Could it be that my nose is not working, and why don't I smell charcoal?" I looked at them dumbfounded.

"Yes. Grandpa nodded and said: "But it is very light, if there is nothing, it is almost negligible, this smell has been diluted for thousands of years, coupled with the impact of the smell of earth and sand, it has been completely covered, only those of us who have been professionally trained and smelled too much can smell it, this is experience, and it is also something you lack." ”

I nodded, if the experience of wheel reversal, I will definitely not be able to compare to grandpa and fat man, they are both old rivers and lakes.

"Hehe, your grandfather is right, it's like identifying the authenticity of antiques, looking at and asking for the smell, this is a high-level art, many cattle, as long as they smell it, whether it is genuine, which dynasty, can immediately smell it. The fat man also said triumphantly.

"Then when you smell the smell of charcoal, you say there is a play, what is the reason?" I asked curiously.

"Although the tombs in the grassland are different from the tombs in the mountains, there are some things in common, such as these dry things, there was no desiccant in ancient times, generally sand, charcoal, limestone, these are generally after the tomb is buried, and then spread a layer on top to absorb water and prevent moisture, but the grassland has a lot of rain, this method is not so effective, I am worried that even if there is a bucket underground, it is likely to be a water bucket!" the fat man judged.

"I see. I was also a little excited, and I said, "Now that you've dug into the moisture barrier, you should get a harvest if you keep digging down." ”

"Well, then work harder. Grandpa nodded.

"Fatty, you're tired, come for me. "My brother volunteered, but he was wronged by a city god who actually did something with us.

"Well, good. The fat man stepped aside and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

My brother had a rope tied around his waist, and the three of us pulled the rope and slowly put it into the hole.

At this point, we have reached the position of ten meters, and we need to go down alone, and then put the dug earth into the basket, and then we pull it out and pour it on the side.

Actually, this is a very earthy method.

If you follow the current popular method, it is to use earth-made explosives, the advantage of this explosive is that after bursting, the impact force squeezes both sides, and squeezes the soil into the hole of the thief hole.

There is no impact in the upper and lower positions, so there will be no dirt, and the hole is very strong due to the squeezing of the soil, and the blasting sound is very small, so it will not be detected.

It's a pity that we were in a foreign country and didn't bring this explosives with us.

There must be that Dafeng teahouse, but if you go to buy goods, people must know that we want to pour a bucket, which is currently the more famous Dou Genghis Khan's mausoleum.

So once you go to buy the goods, the intention is exposed.

The only way to do this is to use this old way.

It's a little hard, a little tired, but it's safe.

Then I dug for more than half an hour, and pulled out more than ten baskets of sand, and suddenly my brother shouted: "I dug it." ”

These three words made us excited, and the fat man shouted even more: "You come up, let me go down." ”

We pulled my brother up, and then replaced the fat man, after all, the fat man is an expert in this area.

The fat man brought a lot of tools with him when he went down, and when he went down, there was a thumping sound from underneath.

"Brother, what did you dig up?" I couldn't wait to ask my brother.

"It's like a roof, like the roof of a castle-like white building!" my brother explained.

"Eight White Palaces?" I said in surprise: "Strange, how did this Eight White Palaces get to more than ten meters underground?"

"It's not strange!" Grandpa suddenly said: "With Genghis Khan's ability and influence, it is completely possible to hollow out the soil under the Eighth White Palace, sink the Eighth White Palace into the ground, and become his own grave, and it can also ensure that the Eighth White Palace is not damaged at all." ”

"It's a bit unbelievable, it's hard to do it with the current level of science, let alone productivity at that time?"

"That's not necessarily, such a project is trivial compared to the Qinling Tombs, the Great Wall, and the pyramids of Egypt. Grandpa said with reaffirmation.

Boom!

Ahh

And the rope that tied the fat man did not hold it for a while because of the suddenness of the incident, and fell into the thief hole with a whoosh.

"Fatty!" Grandpa shouted at the cave, but there was only an echo in the cave, but there was no voice of the fat man.

"Grandpa, I'll go down and have a look. Before I jumped in, I said to my brother, "Brother, take care of grandpa." ”

"Well, there you go. ”

With a whoosh, I jumped.

But instead of going down, he kept supporting the wall of the thief cave with both hands and feet, and slowly fell down.

There is a hole below, and I am also anxious in my heart, worried about the safety of the fat man, I don't know if the fat man smashed the roof of the Eighth White House and accidentally fell, or if he was attacked or poisoned.

I jumped out of the hole, and when I landed, I stepped on a lump of soft things, and there was a wailing sound from the thing, and when I heard the sound, it turned out to be fat.
