Chapter 74

According to Yu Chen's meaning, he and Lan Zui went down to take the lead to see the situation first, and then decided whether to let the guys from the two families go down together. After all, this thief hole is only the size of a person's back, and the angle is quite tricky, easy to go down and not easy to go up, if there is something wrong inside, there are too many people going down, and the people behind will be like a plug to block the people in front of them from escaping, causing unnecessary casualties.

When Lan Zui heard it, he felt that it was indeed reasonable, so he agreed. took off the long down jacket that got in the way, put on a simple gas mask and stood by the hole waiting for Yu Chen. Yu Chen was noncommittal about Lan Zui's behavior of wearing a gas mask, and jumped directly into the pit before Lan Zui. Lan Zui didn't expect him to be so crisp all of a sudden, and when he got a little farther down, he also jumped down.

The shovel prints on all sides of the soil cave are quite neat, and one after another the marks rammed the soil to a solid one, and it can be seen from the shovel marks alone that Mu Ye's fighting techniques are indeed unusual. The two of them tacitly agreed that neither of them would mention the problems in the soil, nor would they take torches, but they would rely on the miner's lamp above their heads to illuminate them, and crawl forward one after the other in silence. There is no cold wind blowing in the cave, it is a little warmer than the ground, and it is not very cold without a down jacket when exercising.

The 45-degree inclination of the cave did not last too long, and it went down to a bottom. The mud at the bottom leached a dark brown color, which is probably where Abin lay before. In fact, this is not the bottom, but a fold to settle on. The fold could only accommodate one person to squat, dig half a step laterally and then start descending again. This time the downward angle is steeper, almost sixty degrees. An iron rod was punched into the earth, and a pole was tied to the pole, and it disappeared into the darkness in front of it in the direction of the cave. The white mountaineering rope is not very new, it doesn't look like it was just tied, it is estimated that it was something that Mu Ye and Zhu Yuanlai left here last time. Lan drunk dragged it and it was still very strong, and it would not be a problem to bear the two of them at all.

The next section has the rope to borrow, but it is much better than before. Every three or four meters or so they slide down, a fold will appear for people to settle on.

This thief cave is breathtaking. Generally, the angle of the common robbery hole is very gentle, which is convenient for people to move in it, but once the kind of robbery hole encounters unclean things inside, it is difficult to escape. And this kind of angle tilt needs to climb the thief hole when it takes a lot of effort, up and down inconvenience, but it is specially played to prevent zongzi. After all, people can't climb fast in a palm-sized hole, no matter how gentle they are, but if it is a robbery hole that needs to climb up and down, as long as you climb up for a while, you don't have to worry about the rice dumplings with stiff joints to keep up, and it is likely to save the life of the tomb robber in a critical moment. As for these folds are also famous, each fold can be covered at the bottom, to prevent tomb robbers from slipping when the hand slips and falls too high to death, which plays a role in buffering, on the other hand, these folds can also accommodate people to stay, to deal with things that keep up. The anti-theft measures of the ancients were strange, and anything could be encountered, which paved the way for themselves from the beginning.

Lan Zui's admiration for the dying Mu Ye lying on the bed became heavier and heavier, not to mention anything else, this thief hole was a first-class kung fu from design to structure to shoveling. And she is more and more Rarity in front of her, and she can scare such a first-class person into running away, what is in this tomb? Could it just be the Junying grass and Xuange incense mixed in the soil and sand?

Yu Chen's sliding action paused, and Lan Zui thought it was another fold. Stabilizing her body with her toes, Lan Zui waited for Yu Chen to leave the fold so that she could continue to land and rest, but she didn't expect that this time Yu Chen lay on the ground but didn't move for a long time. Lan Zuixiu raised his eyebrows and was about to ask, but Yu Chen below spoke first: "How did it become two roads?" ”

Lan Zui was also surprised when he heard it, Yu Chen moved into the fold to leave the place where Lan Zui landed, Lan Zui slid down and bent down to look at the other side of the fold like Yu Chen, and sighed lightly in his mouth.

This one fold is slightly longer and wider than the others, and as Yu Chen said, it forms a shape similar to a three-tube through-head, with one channel going forward and the other continuing downward.

"Both roads were dug by Mu Ye?" Lan Zui asked Yu Chen.

Yu Chen climbed to the passage in front of him to take a look, then returned to touch the one below, and nodded: "It's all my father's handiwork." ”

Lan Zui squinted and glanced back and forth between the two passages, the direction of these two passages was completely different, and it was definitely not a mistake to rebuild. Looking at the traces, the traces of the two roads are orderly, not like they were picked up in a hurry, so they must have their own uses.

But which one should you take?

On the surface, the two of them have not encountered any danger until now, and these two paths look very stable and safe, and they can try slowly one by one. But after Lan drunk walked in the tomb of Jun Yihuang, he said that he was not willing to walk around in the ancient tomb again. There are resentful spirits like Jun Yihuang who have not been reincarnated for thousands of years and corpses full of unjust souls, and if one of them leads to something terrible, she doesn't want to get into trouble before she sees the flesh shadow.

"Why don't you go down first, we're still in the soil layer now, and the sand layer hasn't been seen yet, so there's no reason to turn up, right?"

Yu Chen's words didn't make sense, but Lan Zui always felt that something was weird. It was true that they had come down so deep that they still did not see a layer of sand, which was different from the judgment she had made after shoveling up and down the ground. In addition, the sand layer of the tomb is at least several meters long, and it will completely cover the entire tomb. The fine sand is soft, and it won't work to directly hit the thief hole from the middle, so how did Mu Ye pass it in the first place? Or did they have an accident before they even reached the sand? Although they could smell the strong rancid smell from the entrance of the cave, they didn't see any traces of the fight or corpses all the way over, and where was the source of the corpses? Where did they go wrong?

If it were you, what would you do if you hit the sand layer in the thief hole?

The characteristics of sand are between soil and water, and there is the substance of soil and the fluidity of water, which is why it is the most difficult to deal with. They can't dig holes, they can't swim away, and ordinary grave robbers often retreat when they see the sand. After all, unless the sand layer is emptied, trying to get through guò is tantamount to a fool's dream. But if you clear one place, the sand on the side will immediately flow and fill it, unless the tomb robbers feel that the tomb is worth enough to take years, and it is also an effective way to carry the sand out of the hole with the determination to pierce the stone.

Lan Zui was convinced that it was impossible for a veteran like Mu Ye to have an accident without even touching the sand layer, and most of them were out of trouble when he entered the tomb. At that time, Mu Ye and Zhu Yuan came to Gegen Gaole for less than a month, and they definitely wouldn't use the stupid method of moving sand, could it be that these two holes have something to do with the sand layer?

If you can't dig a hole, why don't you drain it?

That's right! Dredging!

Lan Zui suddenly realized, stopped Yu Chen from pulling the rope and continued to slide down, and said, "This road is not right, go up here!" ”

"How do you know?" Yu Chen stopped, looking at Lan Drunk suspiciously.

Yu Chen is no better than Lan Zui, a person who grew up in the knowledge of tomb robbing, and what he knows and what he knows depends on what he usually hears piecemeal. Therefore, Lan Zui patiently explained: "That road can't be walked, there is a clear sand pit over there, and you go down full of sand, and you don't even have a place to stay." If you fall into it, it's over. ”

Yu Chen's face was full of question marks, still ignorant.

Alas, is it really good to go down to the ground without understanding anything?

"The road below Mu Ye is a sand channel. This is a sand tomb, as you should know, the tomb is first covered with sand and then covered with earth. We are now in the outermost layer of soil, and below the side of the tomb. At that time, Mu Ye first continued to dig the robbery hole down, hitting directly below the tomb, and then began to dig the robbery hole straight from the bottom to the top, until he approached the sand layer below the tomb, and at that time the sand layer and the hole below were only separated by a thin layer of soil. Mu Ye then planted timing explosives in that layer of soil. ”

"I understand, as long as that layer of soil is destroyed, the sand of the sand layer will flow down the thief hole, and the sand layer will naturally be emptied!"

"That's right, then Mu Ye only needs to make another robbery hole to that blasting point, and he can go directly into the tomb along the location where the sand has been emptied." Lan Zui nodded: "You don't have to go over there, it's a dead end." ”

Yu Chen didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately turned to crawl in the thief cave above. Sure enough, they had not climbed far before they saw shadows in the distance, and when they got closer, they found that they were all huge staggered stones, and where the stones met there was a blackened mass of rubble everywhere, which was obviously the mark left by the explosion of gunpowder. In the center of the stone, which was supposed to be precisely integrated with anti-theft, a hole was broken that could be climbed sideways.

I didn't expect to be able to enter the tomb without effort, Yu Chen's excitement was beyond words, and he immediately sped up and climbed to the edge of the hole to look inside, but just looking at it, the excitement was extinguished by a basin of cold water.

"What? What's wrong? ”

I don't know if it's because I've been exercising or what, Lan Zui felt hot all over her body after crawling here, and a layer of mist floated in the gas mask, which made her feel depressed. Moreover, the rancid smell that permeated the place was stronger and more pungent than the original passage, and even if it was filtered by a gas mask, it was still difficult to get into the nose.

"You have to call someone to reinforce it first, this sand board won't last long."

Yu Chen sideways exposed a gap for Lan Zui, and Lan Zui just poked his head out for a short while, and then fell into a head full of sand.

Lan Zui barely squinted his eyes and looked up, and found that the other side of the stone was indeed full of fine sand, the sand layer was seven or eight meters long, and the headlamp was shining, and the tomb bricks on the opposite side could be faintly seen.

Directly below the sand layer between the tomb bricks and the stones, as Lan Zui had speculated, a huge hole appeared. The hole is the size of a truck's head, and the sand above the hole slides in, and the sand on each side also presents a slope, maintaining a delicate balance. Each slope was sealed with several wooden planks from the stone to the bricks to prevent the fine sand from sliding down. Now there is a crack in the middle of the plank on one side for some reason, and the fine sand keeps falling out of the crack, and it seems that it will soon be unable to withstand the pressure of the fine sand and break, and there should have been a wooden bridge extending from the stone to the side of the tomb bricks, but now one end is on the tomb bricks on the other side, and the other end falls into the hole below.

Lan Zui scolded in a low voice, they really had to call someone to bring materials to repair the wooden board that was about to break. The sand diversion tunnel below is almost saturated, and if the sand leaks again after the planks break, it will fill the sand diversion channel, and they will have to dig a new pit themselves.

"It's a hassle to have to rebuild the bridge!" Lan Zui frowned.

"It must be a good thing done by the surname Chen and his two subordinates! Bastard! ”

When the target is close at hand but cannot be approached immediately, it is like placing a table of delicacies in front of a person who has been hungry for three days but cannot eat it. Yu Chen irritably lowered his head and swept the sand pit below, and was about to retract his head and go back to the ground to call someone, when he suddenly struck again.

"Lan drunk, look, is there a person in the bunker?"

The incandescent light of the miner's lamp shone in the bunker, revealing a hand covered in fine sand on the sand.

The author has something to say: thank you salad for the mines (^?^).
