Chapter 678: Bronze Bridge Lock Suzaku (One Hundred and Twenty-Eight)

After the GI nailed the steel drill to the ground, he quickly felt something hard about three feet underground, probably a huge stone slab or something. It was determined that the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family was under this hard stone slab. So he commanded the thin man and a few young people he brought to dig quickly, and in about half an hour, the group dug a huge pit with a depth of one meter and a diameter of about two meters, and a huge bluestone slab appeared in everyone's sight.

The soldier motioned for everyone to stop, then squatted down and brushed away the loess on the slab, and saw that many words were densely engraved on the slate. The soldier looked at it, although it was an ancient script, he could still understand most of it, and it was written about the life of the ancestor of the Zhang family, which should be an epitaph, which made him even more sure that this was the location of the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family. At this time, if Sanqing was present, he would definitely be surprised to find that the font on it was the same as the handwriting on the old genealogy.

Seeing that at last, the soldier got up, took the shovel from the thin man's hand, and then inserted the shovel into the loose edge of the slate, and with a sharp force, he pried open a gap in the seemingly heavy slate.

"Come here and help!" Seeing this gap, the soldier was a little curious about why this stone slab was so light, but he didn't care too much, the clearer it was, the easier it would be to open the entrance to the tomb, which was also a good thing, so he opened his mouth to greet the thin man Zhang Ze and the others.

Hearing the soldier's shout, the thin man, Zhang Ze and the young men jumped into the pit one after another, inserting shovels into the edge of the stone slab several times for a while, and then under the command of the soldiers, the gap between the stone slab and the ground became larger and larger.

"You hold on!" the soldier said in a deep voice, then let go of the shovel in his hand, bent over and grabbed the bluestone slab tightly with both hands, and then violently exerted force again, and he cooperated with everyone to pry the bluestone slab, and soon turned the bluestone slab over, and the entrance appeared in front of everyone, and a step extended down from the entrance. But it was not the passage that attracted the GI's attention, but the pattern on the back of the bluestone slab.

The soldier stared at the back of the bluestone slab, where a winged Vermilion Bird was carved there!

"Why is there a Vermilion Bird pattern on this that is the same as in the ancient tomb on Changbai Mountain?" the soldier was full of doubts, and he decided that he had to tell Sanqing about it.

"I really didn't expect it, there is such a place under this village that has been abandoned for decades, do you think there will be treasures in your ancestral tomb!" After seeing the passage, the thin man said to Zhang Ze beside him with a surprised face.

"I'll tell you to pay less attention to my ancestral grave!" Zhang Ze immediately became anxious when he heard the thin man's words.

"I'm kidding you, look at your hurry!" the thin man hurriedly snorted.

"I'll go in first, if it's okay, I'll call you, you guys come down one by one!" the soldier came back to his senses, interrupted the words of the thin man and Zhang Ze, and then went into the passage and walked slowly down the steps.

There were more than 20 steps, nearly ten meters deep into the ground, and when they reached the bottom, the soldier faintly saw through the light shining in from the ground that there was a wide avenue ahead.

"Come down!" the GI waited for a moment, making sure he was okay, before he raised his head and said loudly to the people on the ground.

After hearing the soldier's words, Zhang Ze immediately rushed into the entrance in front of the thin man, and hurriedly walked down the steps, after all, it was his own ancestral tomb, of course he wanted to have a sneak peek. As soon as Zhang Ze got in, the thin man couldn't wait to get in. The remaining young men hesitated for a long time before they mustered up the courage to follow into the entrance.

In a few moments, everyone came to the ground and stood behind the GI. At this time, it happened that a dark cloud obscured the morning sun in the sky, and the tomb became pitch black, and the five fingers could not be seen.

"I'll go, it's so dark!" the thin man muttered softly, then pulled out a flashlight out of nowhere and pressed the switch. The light projected by the flashlight illuminated the road in front of them, and the wide passage appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and after seeing it clearly, it can be said that this passage is not only wide, but also very luxurious, much more luxurious than the tomb road in ordinary ancient tombs. It is about one zhang wide, the stone walls on both sides are bright yellow, and there are many human figures carved on the stone walls, and the parts that can be seen by the eyes alone are people of different occupations and ages, such as merchants, peasants, and servants, in addition to the stone carvings in armor placed on the passage, which are supposed to be the guards of the tomb.

"Your family's ancestral tomb is the same as that of a dignitary, and there are stone carvings in armor, if this is discovered at that time, it should be a felony!" After seeing the stone sculptures in armor on the passage, the thin man said this in great surprise.

"Let's go!" the soldier said in a deep voice after observing for a while, and then directly snatched the flashlight from the thin man's hand and walked to the passage first. Seeing that he was struggling with his head held high, he didn't seem to be worried that there was a hidden weapon in the passage, so Zhang Ze, the thin man and the others followed with peace of mind.

The passage was less than twenty meters long, with a ninety-degree bend in the middle, and at the end of the passage appeared a thick gray stone wall with a closed stone door.

The soldier walked to the door of the room, stretched out his hand and groped for the stone door, and successfully found the mechanism button, after pressing the button, the stone door slowly opened under the surprised eyes of Zhang Ze and others.

Behind the stone door, there is a large burial chamber with a number of sarcophagi in the center, surrounded by various stone carvings that resemble the statues on the walls of the tomb. The soldier counted seven sarcophagi in total, and then stepped into the tomb.

"It's really magnificent, who would believe it when it says there is no treasure here!" Looking at the situation in the tomb, the thin man couldn't help but say this again.

"you!" After hearing the thin man's words, Zhang Ze immediately responded, and then followed the soldier to the tomb, and the thin man and the others hurriedly followed. After entering the tomb, he didn't dare to act rashly, and watched the soldier turn around the tomb twice.

"This tomb has been stolen, and more than once!" said the GI in a deep voice, walking back to the crowd.

"What!" Zhang Ze's eyes immediately widened when he heard this.

"But it doesn't look like a malicious tomb robbery, it should be that the ancestors of your family came in and took the things in the tomb by themselves!" Seeing Zhang Ze's surprised face, the soldier opened his mouth to explain.

After listening to the soldier's explanation, Zhang Ze couldn't help frowning, thinking that his ancestors were really not as good as the next generation!

"Hey, where is Daoist Mu Yi?" At this time, Zhang Ze suddenly found that Mu Yi, who came with him, was gone, and hurriedly asked.

"It should still be on it!, but there is no need for him to set the position, there are a total of seven sarcophagi, six of which contain the bones of your ancestors, and one is empty, just enough for your second uncle!" The soldier glanced at it, but didn't see Mu Yi, so he opened his mouth and said this.

"That's it, that's great!" Zhang Ze said after glancing in the direction of the sarcophagus.

"Let's go, go back and help your second uncle finish the funeral, let his old man be buried as soon as possible!" said the soldier again, and then turned and walked out of the tomb.
