Chapter 156: Old News
can say that the act of robbing the tomb is a sign of progress, and he is probably the only one in the past, and Yunli did not continue to study with him on this issue, but asked: "Since the main tomb has been found, then this should be the center of the ancient tomb, according to Uncle Yuan, which side is the way out?" ”
Wang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "This is not the main burial chamber, at most it is only a burial chamber, or a stand-in burial chamber used to confuse the invaders, making people mistakenly think that this is the main burial chamber, take something and leave, the real main burial chamber must be hidden in a more secret place."

"Our purpose is not to rob the tomb, so there is no need to go to the main tomb, it would be nice to find a way out, should we go that way?" In this ancient tomb, Wang Chengyuan's experience and insight are richer than Yunli's, and he can't use electromagnetic force now, so he can only rely on Wang Chengyuan's opinions.
Yun Li likes to collect antiques, and he used to read novels related to tomb robbery expeditions, and he was so addicted that Aunt Fang and Lily were worried that he was going down the wrong path, although Yun Li was very interested in tomb robbery, but this was the first time he went to the tomb, and he had no experience to talk about, not to mention that his physical condition was very bad now, even if he had the curiosity to explore the secrets, but the current predicament did not give him a choice.
Wang Chengyuan is a collector, and his knowledge in this area is not comparable to Yunli, and he can deduce the cause of death of three pairs of white bones from the shape of the bones alone, which is not ordinary, so he said that this is not the main tomb, and the fact is likely to be like this.
"The design of all mausoleums, regardless of size, must be sealed, and there will be no way out, but since someone has been here, it means that there must be a robbery hole leading to the outside, and our purpose is to find the location of the robbery cave, of course, it is not excluded that the craftsmen who built this ancient tomb, in order to prevent themselves from becoming burial goods, secretly built an escape channel, if you can find out, this is the best way." Wang Chengyuan explained.
"I heard that in the construction of the ancient tomb, in order to prevent the craftsmen from secretly building an escape route, the employer had a special person to supervise the construction of the whole process, and after the mausoleum was completed, in order to prevent information leakage, the people related to it would be disposed of, so this escape tunnel is not common, we still find a thief hole is more reliable." Yunli proposed.
The three of them were a little tired after walking for so long, and it was rare to have a clean and tidy place to rest, so they were not in a hurry to set off, Wang Chengyuan also shared his experience with Yunli:
"Let me tell you an old news, probably in the last years of the Song Dynasty, there was a prince who chose the tomb site at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and when the mausoleum was almost completed, he also began to prepare for the blockade of the news, but the day before he was ready to send someone to do it, all the craftsmen and the surveillance personnel all disappeared, and there were no clues in all the places, as if the world had evaporated."
"Although this thing is bizarre, but in the past history of mausoleum construction, there have been many times this situation, the craftsmen must have bought the surveillance personnel, or directly killed the mouth, they escaped from the mausoleum, but did not dare to return to the original life, can only live in seclusion in the mountains and forests or far away, the news of the mausoleum will slowly fade with time, and the prince does not care too much about it."
"A few years later, the prince's life will be exhausted, and he began to prepare for the mausoleum, and the funeral goods were moved in advance, but the next day, all the funeral goods disappeared for no reason, and it was like this for several days, which can scare the prince a lot, after the mausoleum was built, there have been henchmen to guard and inspect, and there will never be any omissions, the tomb robbers are so rampant, and they have not yet gone down to the tomb to sweep away all the tomb goods, this is a big joke, if it is spread, not only the prince, but also the authority of the entire imperial family will be affected."
"With such a big scandal, presumably the court will not let it go, what happened later, did you find the culprit?" Yun Li asked curiously, and the dumb man was also attracted by this old news, and sat with Yun Li waiting for Wang Chengyuan's decomposition, and his sad mood also subsided a little.
Wang Chengyuan continued to explain: "Several parties have sent people to investigate, but nothing has been found, the funeral goods are sent in, and it is fine when someone watches it, but as soon as the eyes are removed, it will disappear, which is very bizarre, many people think that it is haunted, and they are unwilling to come to the mausoleum again." The prince is approaching his life, he didn't expect to have to toss so much before he died, it was too late to create another one, he firmly believed that someone must be making trouble from it, and vowed to find out the perpetrator in order to be blind. ”
"After that, the prince disregarded rest, and devoted himself to the investigation, what is surprising is that the prince, who did not have many days to live, has been holding on and not falling, but the investigation has not made any progress, under the predicament, the prince suddenly thought of a clever plan, he can pretend to be dead and move into the mausoleum, and the burial goods are placed around, if someone comes to steal, he can find out himself, but this matter can only be carried out by him alone, if you bring other guards in, things will be ganged up, and the other party will not show up."
"It's a clever plan, and the prince will definitely take it, right?" The story progressed to the most exciting part, and Yunli couldn't help but interject.
Wang Chengyuan nodded and said: "After thinking about it a few times, the prince decided to act according to the plan, and the ceremonies of entering the tomb were all carried out in secret, but it was not difficult for anyone who wanted to snoop." Things went well, the prince lay in the coffin, patiently waiting for the troublemaker to appear, if it weren't for this, he would have been lying here a long time ago, and he didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate to live a long time. ”
"After waiting for a long time, the troublemakers finally appeared, they were none other than those craftsmen who built the mausoleum in the first place, the prince thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect that it was this group of guys who were doing something, and the blood surged, and he roared angrily, and then he fell into the coffin and died, and the people who secretly answered outside the mausoleum also rushed in when they heard the sound and arrested these craftsmen."
"After interrogation, I learned that when the craftsmen were building the mausoleum, they secretly changed the design drawings, secretly created an escape route, and did not escape far after disappearing, and they have been living in the mausoleum, the reason why they did not leave was to take revenge, they were recruited as construction craftsmen, and their families were killed by the prince, so they would not let the prince have a good time, so they planned such an incident to toss him, they know everything about this place, even if the prince's power is huge, they can't fight the craftsmen here, and finally the prince was angry to death, And the craftsmen were all beheaded. ”
"Not to mention the act of robbing tombs, things in this world have always been inhabited by capable people, and the mausoleums that craftsmen worked so hard to build eventually became their own burial places, and some craftsmen who successfully escaped will become tomb robbers and go back to the mausoleum built by his own hands to get their due reward, isn't this a kind of causal cycle?" At the end of the story, Wang Chengyuan added his own opinion.
After hearing this old news, Yun Li had mixed feelings, if he was one of the craftsmen, he didn't know whether he would choose to run away and live again, or choose revenge, he couldn't help but sigh:
"When people are alive, it is enough to toss, and if they have to toss even to die, it is really a sin, but in this way, in order to survive, craftsmen will definitely try to build a dark room, just if anyone finds out?"
Wang Chengyuan nodded and said: "That's right, people are born to chase interests, not to mention this kind of life-and-death thing, all the way, you also know that this ancient tomb is extremely mysterious, I think the safest route is to find the secret passage left by the craftsman, not to find the thief hole." ”
"How sure are you that you can find out? The food we have can last for a few days, but if we really want to be stuck here for a few days, and we can't go down the snowy mountains after we go out, it's better to make a quick decision. Yunli analyzed.
Wang Chengyuan didn't answer immediately, but took out an old cowhide bag from his backpack, and then took out a round walnut-sized stone bead from it, spread it on his hand and explained to Yun Li:
"It's called the Forbidden Bead, it's made of a mixture of different materials, it's filled with mercury, it has many uses, the most important thing is to judge the situation on the other side of the door wall, whether it's a dead end, hollow or some trap, it can be perceived, it's the treasure that tomb robbers dream of, I also got it by accident, I will take it every time I go out, I can't think of it now."
Yun Li picked up the forbidden bead and observed it carefully, except for the heavy weight, he couldn't find any other special places, but Wang Chengyuan was so confident, Yun Li naturally wouldn't underestimate it, if it really had the functions described in the description, it was indeed an excellent thing to explore the secret path.
"Then let's go, follow the passage here and explore the past, if there is a dark passage and dark room, we will definitely be able to find out." Yun Li handed back the forbidden bead to Wang Chengyuan, rested for a while, and his body was not as tired as before, the three of them set off again, Wang Chengyuan took the forbidden bead and kept beating on the stone wall, if there is an unusual situation, the forbidden bead will send out different frequencies of vibration in response, which is quite magical.
The secret passage has not yet been found, but the forbidden bead has helped them avoid several traps, and now the electromagnetic force is not used, coupled with the poor physical condition, Yun Li can't help much, fortunately, Wang Chengyuan is experienced, and he took them through the corridor and searched all the nearby areas, but he still didn't find any clues, and the location of the main tomb was clueless.
The only good news is that the area behind is mostly ice, whether it is the ground or the walls, it is covered with thick ice, the light is very abundant, they can see the road ahead without flashlights, in fact, their flashlights are almost to the point of running out of oil, there are only a few burning rods left, if the view is also blocked, the difficulty of getting out of the predicament is bound to increase.
