Chapter Thirty-Nine: Fang Mojin (Part II)
Based on experience, Fang Mojin roughly circled four places where there might be tombs. There may be a mezzanine space in the corridor between the main house www.biquge.info the main house and the second courtyard. There may be a cellar at the bottom of the rockery in the second courtyard, a firewood room in the backyard, and under the tribute table in the main hall of the main house. A few people started from the main room, lay down under the tribute table, and knocked on the large terrazzo bricks on the ground with a small hammer. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was not right, looking at the layout of this courtyard, especially the main house, it was carefully designed by the builders, and there were ways to hide the entrance to the tomb, how could it be so easy to find it? The bald three people quickly opened the square bricks on the ground, fell out of the deep black hole, and shone a flashlight into it. The size of the hole is not like a tomb road, it is narrower than the tomb road, and it is wider than the robbery hole dug by the tomb robber. The four walls and the ground made of bluestone bricks in the cave are not luxurious, but the bricks are high-quality bluestone, but the carved patterns can not be found at all, and the simplicity is suspicious.
"This brick has been moved before, and the gap has been seen more than once" "Willing to use such a good stone to build the wall, why is there no pattern engraved?" "If this is the entrance to the tomb, it is really cold" There must be a demon abnormally, a few people discussed it, but they didn't dare to go down rashly, and ran to the rockery of the second courtyard. There is a small stone cave half a person high on the rockery, and there is not much space in the stone cave, and the two of them are too crowded. But the floor of the cave was paved with square bricks like the main house, knocked, and empty. It's just as easy to open, and there's just as much of a deep tunnel. At this time, Fang Mojin realized a more difficult problem, whether it was the main house or the cave under the rockery, when dug up, the air inside was not turbid. Before, they went down to the pit in their hometown, and after digging the cemetery, they always had to stop for a day to let go of the filthy air inside, so that people could go down, but this cemetery was completely unnecessary, and the air was no different from the outside. In other words, this tunnel may not be a tomb tunnel at all, but there are other pathways to communicate with the outside world. In addition, if you want to say that under this rockery, more is hidden cellar gold, in the past, there was no bank, the cash silver deposited by large households, copper coins and the like, the amount is large, I like to dig a cellar under the rockery, next to the fish pond, to store silver, but why dig a bottomless tunnel? I can't think of an answer for a while, Fang touched the gold stupidly in front of the hole.
With the experience of touching the gold dozens of times in the cave, there were too many strange things in the yin house that day. Generally speaking, the tomb should be as hidden as possible, in the most unnoticed place, like this everywhere there is an entrance, I have never seen it. But there is also a possibility that all entrances are fake, used to cover the real entrance, if so, then what is hidden underneath is incredible.
As Fang touched the gold thought, there were also passages in the corridor wall and the firewood room, and in the face of many holes, several people fell into hesitation, but in the end, the possible wealth in the tomb prevailed, wealth and nobility, and the four people were divided into two groups, and two entrances were selected, and they agreed to meet in the courtyard in two hours regardless of whether they found the goods or not. He lifted the gas lamp, put on the compass, and went down to the cave.
The entrance to the cave under the Yin house in Jingzi Lane is narrower and shorter than the general cemetery, if it weren't for the bluestone on the ground and the walls, Fang Mojin thought that he had entered someone else's robbery hole. Fang Mojin is a hole called Liu San'er, Liu San has a height of almost one meter eight, and his body is strong, if he wants to go ahead, the hole is almost blocked, and the light of the gas lamp can't be seen, Fang Mojin is walking in front, and Liu San'er is in the back. After walking for a while, Fang Mojin felt that it was wrong, this hole was not long after it was a flat road except that it was going down at the beginning, and it was a flat road not long after, and it was to the west on the compass, according to the distance walked, it should have been out of Jingzi Lane earlier, where is this going?
Fang Mojin knew that he would discuss this matter with Liu San'er, Mao Er would not use it, let him make a hole and move something, let him come up with an idea, it would be better to throw a coin and see the front and back. Hard-headed, Fang Mojin took Liu San and continued to walk forward, but found that the compass began to spin non-stop, and the temperature around him was dropping rapidly, although the two of them were wearing long clothes and trousers, they were still shivering from the cold. Liu San was vague and muttered that he wanted to go back, but Fang Mojin saw that the tunnel began to slowly extend downward, gritted his teeth, and said to Liu San, follow up and go back if there is nothing to do. The two of them walked down the slope towards the darkness, which was still deep and bottomless.
After walking for about another twenty minutes, the tunnel was smooth again, but Fang Mojin faintly heard the sound of water flowing. Damn, there must be a dark river ahead, and we will give up all our efforts. Fang Mojin didn't hear Liu San's response, scolded, and walked forward again. At this time, the hole became wider, and finally there was no need to keep your head down. Suddenly, Fang Mojin found that there was no road ahead, at the end of the cave, the space was wide, the light of the flashlight could not penetrate the darkness on the opposite side, but there was a cliff under his feet, illuminated by a flashlight, more than ten meters deep, the sound of the water flow was coming from below, faintly, more than ten meters wide, and I didn't know the depth. Looking at the opposite side, it was a very large space, and the light of the gas lamp was completely illuminated before disappearing into darkness. Fang Mojin took out the flashlight and shook it to the opposite side, and the beam of the flashlight was reflected back, as if it was shining on the mirror, making his eyes dazzled. At that time, he could not hear anything at all, except for the sound of his rapidly increasing heartbeat. An ominous premonition rose in Fang Mojin's heart, if he stayed here for a while, he would be swallowed by this boundless darkness.
