Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 222 The Moving Boulder
The next day, Hongxing came back, how did Tie Niu ask Hongxing in private, he didn't take the initiative to tell Baiyang, and Baiyang didn't ask him.
Anyway, Tie Niu doesn't care about anything, no matter whether Hong Xingcheng admits that she is a person who picks up the relics, Tie Niu will not be very entangled.
Another day, Ding Sicheng called Bai Yang into the office again.
There was another person in the office, who was Li Jianjun, the leader of another grave search team.
Although the two live in the same dormitory building, due to the tight manpower of the grave search team and the heavy task, every time Baiyang returns to Xi'an, Li Jianjun leads the team out of the mission, so the two have not seen each other for a long time.
The two of them originally admired each other, but when they saw Poplar coming in, Li Jianjun stood up first and nodded at Poplar with a smile on his face.
Bai Yang was very happy, but this was not the time to gossip, so he could only smile back, and then turned his face to look at Ding Sicheng.
Ding Sicheng said: "I originally wanted to draw two or three people for you, but now the manpower is too tight, and like Wang Jiutang's tomb, his skills are not good! I'll give the pistol to Tie Niu and bring it to Jianjun. In addition, I tried Miss Chu's kung fu in the past two days, and it should not be under the red apricot, and that Jack is not a weak hand. Coupled with the Red Gate Lord, it should be about the same!"
Bai Yang calculated in his heart that the pistol in Wang Jiutang's tomb may not be very good, as for Chu Mingyu and Jack, I am afraid that they will only drag them down, and it is impossible to give them any help.
But these words couldn't be spoken, and Bai Yang could only say: "With Team Leader Li going with us, plus the Red Gate Master, I think we should be able to complete the task!"
Ding Sicheng nodded and said, "Of course, it is important to complete the task, but you must also ensure your own safety, especially Miss Chu has to go with you!
Poplar hurriedly agreed. Ding Sicheng said again: "Then you go out and prepare, buy a ticket for tonight or tomorrow and set off! I have contacted the Lord of the Red Gate, and she will meet you at the Balang Pass!"
The area of Balang Mountain is large, and there is more than one mountain pass, but Bai Yang and the Red Gate Lord and others have been to Balang Mountain once before, so they naturally understand which mountain pass the Red Gate Lord will meet them with.
So Bai Yang didn't ask much, and when he withdrew from Ding Sicheng's office, Bai Yang grabbed Li Jianjun and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Uncle Ding to arrange for Brother Li to help us, it's really good!"
Li Jianjun was also full of joy and said: "I am also very happy when I hear what Teacher Ding said! During this time, your group has made many great achievements, especially this time, you have found the legendary Black Desert Celestial Elephant Country, which admires the people in our group! So this time, I can also learn from you!"
Bai Yang said "don't dare", and was about to go to Tie Niu together, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice and said with a smile: "Bai handsome guy, I have already bought everyone's tickets, how about tonight's night train, will it be too urgent?"
As soon as Bai Yang looked up, he saw Chu Mingyu and Jack walking towards him. was busy introducing Li Jianjun to them, but he didn't expect that the two of them had already met Li Jianjun, so they directly opened their mouths to greet each other.
That night, several people had dinner together and rushed to the train station with their respective luggage.
Two days later, Bai Yang and the other six people will gather with the Red Gate Lord and ride together to the foot of Balang Mountain, where Wang Jiutang's tomb is located.
The Red Gate Lord changed his outfit, although he was still dressed in black, but his face was no longer covered with a scarf, but with a chic big straw hat, covering most of his face.
But judging from her fair complexion, round chin, and rosy lips, she was only in her forties at most, and she certainly didn't look bad.
It's a pity that after entering the mountain, she covered her face with a face towel again.
Chu Mingyu deliberately asked her why she covered her face, but she ignored it.
Hongxing didn't seem to be very close to the Red Door Lord at least on the surface, but after a ride, she began to get close to the Red Door Master and took the initiative to talk to the Red Door Lord, as if she was slowly getting acquainted with it.
When you climb up to the meadow at an altitude of 3,000 meters, you can see that the sky is as blue as a whole sapphire, and the green meadow is full of flowers of all colors.
Nearby herdsmen drove their cattle and sheep and sang loudly on the meadows. Against this picturesque backdrop, it's really refreshing.
Bai Yang and the others had already come once, so naturally they were not particularly excited, but Chu Mingyu couldn't help but drive the horse fast and laugh and shout. Jack laughed and accompanied him.
Soon they arrived at the foot of Mount Barang, and today they had no spare manpower, so they had to lead the horses to the mountainside and tie them to two small trees. After that, several people climbed over the hill and arrived at the front side of Wang Jiutang's tomb.
Hongxing and Tie Niu walked in front, and first exclaimed "ah".
Poplar didn't know what they were seeing, so he hurried two steps to the front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"What's wrong, why are you all so surprised?" asked Chu Mingyu.
Poplar took a breath, pointed to the boulder in front of him, and said, "We moved this boulder to the side last time, revealing the tomb, but now, this boulder is pressed against the entrance of the tomb again!"
The last time they left, they cut down a bundle of branches to cover the entrance to the tomb and cover the branches with dirt.
And now the branches and dirt were all thrown aside, and everywhere, and it was evident that the man who did it was grumpy and impatient.
Li Jianjun looked at the ancient characters on the boulder, he was not a senior archaeologist, so it was obvious that he didn't know those words, so he could only stand up straight and ask, "Do you know what these ancient characters on the boulder mean?"
"Figuring it out!" Bai Yang nodded and glanced at the Red Door Lord with respect, "The Red Gate Lord can know almost all ancient characters, including oracle bone inscriptions!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you say!" the Red Gate Master quickly said, "There are many kinds of ancient Chinese characters even in the same period, I don't dare to say that I know them all!"
"But this boulder is so big, who is too idle to move it back and press the entrance of the tomb? Could it be that someone discovered the entrance of the tomb, for fear that others would find it again, so they moved the boulder over again?" Chu Mingyu said.
"It's possible!" Poplar nodded, "but the problem is that it is clearly written on this boulder that a strong man must stand in a certain place to lift the boulder, and if you borrow tools or several people work together, then the boulder will fall down and completely block the hole......"
Bai Yang's words couldn't be finished, because Chu Mingyu couldn't help but exclaim: "You say...... My God, this stone is at least more than 1,000 catties, who can have such strength? If you can really lift this stone, it's not called a strong man, it's just a god!"
Bai Yang didn't respond to her words, and directly turned his face to look at the Red Gate Lord, and asked, "Red Gate Lord, do you think someone moved this boulder back again, but didn't cause the cave entrance to collapse?"
The lord of the red gate did not answer, but circled around the boulder twice, and then said: "I think the reason why the entrance to the cave will collapse is not whether this boulder has been moved casually, but whether someone has tried to pry open the stone slabs around the boulder! Because the boulder fits closely with the surrounding stone slabs, if you want to use tools or several people to move the boulder, you must pry open the stone slabs around the boulder! But now that this boulder has been moved back into the distance seamlessly, we still have to do it alone!"
Her speculation was in the ears of Li Jianjun, Chu Mingyu and the others, and she felt a little incomprehensible, but Baiyang Tie Niu nodded again and again.
"But who was it that brought the boulder back to its place? Wouldn't it be so strong that he could move the boulder back to its place...... What's more?" Iron Bull said.
"That's not necessarily!" Bai Yang helped him answer, "Didn't the master of the Ganghong Gate say that the reason why he had to move the boulder alone was mainly because the boulder fit closely with the surrounding stone slabs, and he couldn't use tools at all, and he couldn't use several people to work together. But before you lifted the boulder aside, and there were no stone slabs around it, you could have several people working together to move it back!"
Tie Niu thought about it for a while, and then he understood, and couldn't help but pat his head and laugh.
Hongxing said: "Even if a few people work together, it is still extremely difficult to move this boulder and rematch it with the stone slab below!
What she said also made sense, after all, the Iron Bull had already exhausted all his efforts just by lifting the boulder, and it also needed Poplar's help.
It would be difficult to lift the boulder back into its original place and put it back into the square pit where the boulder could be placed.
Bai Yang thought about it and couldn't understand, so he could only turn his face to look at the red door master again.
The Red Gate Lord shook his head and said, "I don't understand it either! There are definitely not too many strong men like Iron Brother in this world, if not unique, but this boulder has indeed been put back in its place, even if a few people work together, then the strength of these people will not be worse than Iron Little Brother!"
Poplar nodded, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. After all, the reason why the Iron Bull has so much strength is because he has eaten immortal medicine and golden python gall, at least in Bai Yang's opinion, ordinary people are unlikely to compare to the Iron Bull.
Could it be that the one who moved this boulder back to its original position was not an ordinary person at all?
But if not ordinary people, then what would it be?
Poplar couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly put aside this thought and didn't want to think about it.
Chu Mingyu looked at Tie Niu with wide eyes and exclaimed again.
"Listen to what you mean, Iron Bull has single-handedly lifted this boulder? Oh my God, do you really have such strength? That can be a Guinness World Record!"
No one answered her words, but Li Jianjun also praised them repeatedly: "I heard that the Iron Brothers are infinitely powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so big!"
Tie Niu couldn't help but smile, and turned his face to look at Hongxing.
