Chapter 19 Exploring the Tomb and Digging Holes

Everyone walked all the way forward on the huge rock pillar, and gradually it was difficult to discern the direction, but Professor Jia took his piece of porcelain to open the way in front of him, and kept walking forward, even without stopping at the intersection between the rock pillars, as if he knew how to walk.

I don't know how long I walked, Professor Jia suddenly stopped, and there was a cliff in front of him, and there was no way out. Everyone was stunned, seeing the heat wave of the lake under the rock pillar, and the surging heat rushed to their faces, they actually took the wrong way at this time, didn't they want to ask everyone to become a roast pig together?

"Professor Jia, what's going on? Didn't you say you had a map on hand? There's no way to get there. I walked up to him and asked angrily.

Professor Jia ignored me, just took the broken porcelain piece and looked around, the flesh on his fat face squeezed his eyes into a thin slit, but he kept saying, "There is no reason, the exit is indeed here, but ...... Yes! He said to himself naturally while walking around, suddenly stopped, but looked up at the top of his head, his face was happy, and said, "The exit is there!" ”

I raised my head, and by the light of the flashlight, which was getting dimmer and dimmer, I saw that there was a hole about one square meter in the rock wall more than two meters above my head.

Professor Jia stretched his fat neck straight and said, "That's it, it must be so many years of geological movement that has caused the exit to deviate from its position." Fortunately, it's not far away, so you can get it. Leddy! He spoke English to the foreigner, who was named Leddy took out a projectile gun from his backpack, hung a small hook, tied the rope for climbing, took aim, and shot at the round hole overhead.

In the darkness, only a "dang" sound was heard, and the hook was shot into the round hole, and Leddy dragged it with his hand to make sure it was firm before turning his head to signal to Professor Jia.

Professor Jia glanced at me, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and said, "Brother Huang, do you want to go up and have a look first?" ”

I don't know the meaning of his eyes, but Lao Tzu was not stupid enough to fall for his agitation, and the ghost knew what was in the round hole, and immediately said: "I want the queen of the palace, or the professor will invite it first." ”

Professor Jia laughed and climbed up first. We watched his fat body crawl into the dark hole with a sense of disharmony under his agile body, and it took less than five seconds for him to reach down and wave us up.

Seeing that Professor Jia was okay during the day, he hurriedly climbed up, and the speed was not slow. This kid's foot is obviously injured, but when it comes to escaping for his life, he is faster than anyone else, and he has to admire. After going up during the day, I let Mango Head climb up again, and then Luo Dascar tied the unconscious guide to his back, and with the help of me and Mango Head, pulled the two of them up.

After all of them went up, the foreigner named Leddy waved me to hurry up, I turned my head to see that the water of the underground lake had almost risen to the rock pillars, and the air was full of the smell of sulfur, I was afraid that the lake water would rise so fast, not only because of the burning of corpse oil, but also because of the underground volcanic activity.

With the torch in Professor Jia's hand, I saw traces of artificial chiseling in the mountain cracks, but more than half of those traces were squeezed into the mountain walls on both sides, which may have something to do with the geological movement for so many years.

After resting for a while, they shared what little water and food they had left, regained some strength, and then continued on their way. There are narrow and wide gaps in the mountain cracks, and the wide places can be walked side by side, and even people like me, who are not fat or thin, have to shrink their stomachs sideways to pass. Professor Jia led the way all the way in front, and I don't know if he practiced the bone shrinking technique, no, the flesh shrinking skill, his kind of body shape can not be affected by the terrain at all.

After walking for about an hour, the mountain gap widened again, but it was all the way down, and there were several forks in the road, Professor Jia looked at his broken porcelain piece, chose the direction, and took us to the end. In such a place, what else can be done but follow him.

Finally, Professor Jia stopped in front of a cliff, I looked around, except for a mountain wall in front of me, there was nothing beside it, the top of my head was empty, I don't know what was on the top, and the light of the flashlight was still dark when it hit the strongest. Could it be that this is where the tomb of the king of Nanyue is located?

Professor Jia held the broken porcelain piece in one hand and scratched something on the ground with a pen in the other, suddenly laughed and said, "It's here." ”

The crowd gathered around and looked at some of the lines he had drawn on the ground, but they couldn't tell what they were after looking at them for a long time.

"Professor, the tomb of the king of Nanyue you said is here?" Luo Dasha asked.

"Not bad!" Professor Jia stood up and said, "According to my inference, the place where we are now must be above the tomb of the king of Nanyue. If you don't want to die here, help me enter the tomb of the king of Nanyue, and if you get something, we'll leave immediately. ”

I snorted and said, "Professor, I told you before, as long as we find the tomb of the king of Nanyue, we will leave immediately, and you let us enter this ancient tomb of unknown circumstances, don't you let us go to death?" Don't think that we are laymen, and we don't even understand such a simple doorway. ”

Professor Jia smiled, but that smile instantly became cold and abnormal, and as soon as my heart moved, I heard the sound of the submachine gun being loaded in the hand of the foreigner behind me.

"Professor Jia, what do you mean? Are you going to kill us all? Luo Dascar shouted angrily.

Professor Jia said slowly: "It depends on whether you are worthy of cooperation, Brother Huang, as long as you do what I say, I guarantee that you will not only not lose anything when you go down to the tomb, but also make a fortune in it. ”

I saw a cold light in Professor Jia's eyes, I have seen this kind of look more than once, he really dares to make a move, under the black gun, the hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, only when the right time comes, and then come to settle accounts with this fat boy. A thought flashed in my heart, and I grabbed Luo Dascar, who was about to burst out, and said: "Professor Jia, there is something to say, what we are worried about is also our own life, as long as you can really guarantee that we can go down to the tomb safely, we can sell our strength for you, and we can make a fortune, why not." ”

Luo Dascar turned his head and looked at me in surprise, as if he felt that these words came out of my mouth incredible, I pulled him behind me and said to Professor Jia, "Professor, how is it?" ”

Professor Jia squinted at me, and after a while he smiled, "Brother Huang still thinks, yes, I can guarantee that you will be fine." ”

I smiled at him, in fact, I greeted all the eighteen generations of his ancestors in my heart, but said: "Professor, since this is the case, let's hurry up and do it, what do you want us to do?" ”

Professor Jia waved his hand to signal Leddy beside him to be careful of us, but he squatted down, pointed to the ground, and said: "It's very simple, originally I wanted the people I brought to do it, but they are all dead, only please do it, as long as you dig a hole down, you can enter the tomb of the king of Nanyue." ”

"That's easy, where to start digging, let's do it."

Professor Jia suddenly looked at me and said, "I have to ask you, Brother Huang, about this." ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Luo Dascar, even I was stunned, and it took a long time before I said: "Professor, what are you kidding, ask me, how can I know how you are the door to archaeology." I deliberately put the word "archaeology" very seriously, and I don't know if he didn't understand or pretended not to know, but he smiled at me again, nodded and said, "That's right, you have to confirm." ”

I saw that he wasn't joking, so I said, "Professor, what the hell do you mean?" ”

Professor Jia walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Huang, don't pretend, I heard Captain Luo say that the craft passed down by your ancestors, as long as you find a position, we will do it immediately, and we won't waste time here." ”

I, it turned out that I wanted to use the silver needle to find the location, he didn't know who to listen to, don't say that this "plowing technique" I have learned and not learned, that is, I learned, that is not the right number at all, my grandfather did not tell me that this silver needle to explore the tomb in addition to digging the grave, can also be used to locate and make holes.

Grandpa, you might as well not teach me at the beginning, it seems that your grandson is alive today. The thoughts in my heart flashed, but I couldn't say it, if I told Professor Jia that my ancestral craft was a showcase, I was afraid that he would be able to trick me into giving me a few shuttle bullets immediately, and let me be a lonely ghost in this dark place.

Professor Jia's brows furrowed when he saw that I didn't speak. I took out the silver needle wrapped in oiled paper from the backpack behind me and opened it one by one. Out of the corner of my eye, when Professor Jia saw the silver needle in my hand, there was a cold light in his eyes, and I didn't know what he was thinking, whether he wanted to kill people and take goods.

"Huang Shang, it's okay!" Luo Dascar walked over and asked in a low voice behind Professor Jia's back, he was really worried.

I shook my head and motioned him not to speak, while I pretended to be a bamboo in my chest and walked a few steps in front of the mountain wall, but in fact, I was praying to my dead ghost grandfather in my heart, hoping that his old man would bless Professor Jia to fool him over, otherwise the old Huang family would not only be extinct, but his precious skills might also be lost.

I stomped back and forth a few steps, muttering something while stomping on my mouth, thinking that I was pretending to be a folk master, and finally found a place, in fact, not far from the place where Professor Jia had just gestured on the ground, and slowly inserted the silver needle into it.

I thought that the silver needle must have entered without ground, but I didn't expect that less than eighty percent of the silver needle would be inserted into the ground. I was stunned and slowly pulled up the silver needle, which became blood-red and seemed to be dripping with blood.

Professor Jia took a closer look and said, "Is this it?" ”

I remembered what my grandfather once said to me, saying that once the silver needle turns red, it means that the grave is dangerous and abnormal, and it may endanger human life, and it must not be gouged. If the tomb of the king of Nanyue heralded by this silver needle is also the same as those large and small tombs in his hometown, the bottom of this tomb must be very small, and there may be great danger.

"Don't plane, don't plan!" I whispered these words.

Professor Jia knew from the look on my face that he must have found the right place, where would he pay attention to what I said, pulled me away, took out a small shovel from his backpack and dug a few small holes in the ground, and smelled the excavated soil a few times, so that Luo Dascar and Mango Head and others started digging holes together.

I saw Luo Dascar take out a small pickaxe from his old backpack, which was pointed and the same as the normal pickaxe, and a thin piece of iron protruded near the pickaxe. I looked familiar, grabbed him and asked, Luo Dascar smiled and said, "You forgot, this thing was found from your grandfather's old house back then, and you gave it to me yourself." I see that it is easy to use, especially when digging the soil, it is fast and easy to carry, and I have been carrying it with me for so many years. ”

As soon as he said it, I remembered that there was such a thing, there were a lot of old things in my grandfather's old house, and Luo Dascar and I did not tinker with some from there, and now it seems that this special pickaxe may have been made by an ancestor to dig up the soil, but it was used by us to steal and dig other people's sweet potatoes.

I was thinking that Luo Dascar had dug a hole more than two meters deep under the instructions of the professor, and was digging, when suddenly the mango-headed shovel "clicked" and seemed to have dug a stone. Professor Jia stopped everyone's movements, jumped out of the pit by himself, squatted in the pit more than a meter wide, pinched up a ball of dirt and put it in front of his nose to look at it.

After a while, he climbed up again, and said, "It's already hit to the top of the brick, don't hit it any further, you dig into the left side, be careful, don't move too much, in case you touch any mechanism." ”

I was originally uneasy in my heart, what I did just now was pure chaos, but I didn't expect to be able to dig it up, and I don't know whether to say that I was lucky or that my grandfather blessed me with a spirit in heaven.

I saw that the mango head was sweating profusely, so I took his place, according to Professor Jia's words, and Luo Dascar carefully dug to the left, and then dug the hole bigger, and then according to Professor Jia's instructions, I hit another two meters down, and the dug soil was piled up directly outside. I don't know if it's some earth-digging bloodline left in the blood, the more I dig down, the more excited I become, and I even forget the blood red on the silver needle.

Until in the end, a brick wall more than one meter high was cleared, and the color of the bricks was clear under the torch, but I am afraid that it has been buried in this dark ground for thousands of years, and the smell of earth is mixed with some indescribable fishy smell.

Luo Dascar stood in front of the brick wall, raised the pickaxe, and was about to knock it down, but heard Professor Jia shout: "Don't move!" ”
