Chapter 401: Principled Tomb Robbery
Maybe it was because of the luck that couldn't be stopped, Fang Ming dug the first hole 500 meters away as Niu Ping said, and found flower soil ten meters away: when he looked at the dirt mixed up on the Luoyang shovel head and couldn't tell what color it was, his heart beat violently again.
However, this made Niu Ping even more depressed, because the hole he had made was not found at all.
"You kid, you're so lucky!"
Niu Ping stood in front of Fang Ming, his eyes looked at the flowers and soil on the Luoyang shovel, and said sullenly. When Fang Ming punched the hole with porcelain tiles, he set the location of the other four holes with this as the center to make the plum blossom hole, and then he and Fang Ming each randomly found one to play down, but they didn't expect that the person who made the hole in the end was still Fang Ming!
In addition to saying that Fang Ming's luck was so good against the sky, what other possibilities could there be?
"Hahahaha!"
Fang Ming laughed out loud and said, "Elder Niu, this ...... This is something you can envy, I'm just lucky! ”
Looking at Fang Ming's arrogant appearance, Niu Ping could only shake his head one after another, after all, this is a fact, what can he do?
"Okay, just be arrogant, I really don't have anything to say."
Fang Ming didn't dare to continue to "stimulate" Niu Ping, or he would have launched a rush himself, but he didn't {}{small} say that 3w.ybdu had any way.
"Niu Lao, what should we do now? After the flower soil is punched, is it possible to make a large hole in the tomb and enter the tomb? ”
The place where the flower soil appears is often the place where the tomb is located, which Niu Ping has said before, so now that the flower soil has been found, it is very likely that the place where the tomb is located, and in his opinion, it should be the next step.
"It's still early, not for the time being, although it is said that there is flower soil, but we still know too little about the situation below, so we still have to continue to use the Luoyang shovel to punch holes."
Niu Ping is an expert, Fang Ming must listen to him, "Or use the original plan to hit it at 20 meters?" Dig out a rectangular tombway? ”
Niu Ping nodded and said, "That's right, only when we really find the place where the tomb is located, can we arrange the next step and then enter the local officials." ”
Fang Ming nodded and said, "Okay." ”
In the evening, Fang Ming and Niu Ping told Zhao Zhuzi about the situation, and then decided to add it
Fast progress, Zhao Zhuzi no longer has to be vigilant, plus Zhao Zhuzi has made a lot of rattlesnakes and the like in recent times, and now the passage leading to the oasis is almost full of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and anyone who wants to pass through such a place will have to think about it seriously.
Because there was already an accurate location of the flower and soil, and Niu Ping, an experienced tomb robber master, the three of them started work together, and the progress was quite fast, and in this process, Fang Ming found that Niu Ping was very careful about the underground imperial tomb, for fear that it would cause even a trace of damage, which made him very surprised, because in his imagination, tomb robbers are often unscrupulous for the purpose and unscrupulous, and they don't care whether their own excavation will cause great damage to the underground tomb. So, during a break, he couldn't help but ask his own questions.
"Well, the situation you are talking about does exist, and it should be said that it is common in the profession of tomb robbing. This is also related to the tomb robbery industry, first of all, he is a shady industry, so he can only do things secretly, so how can he take too much care of it? At the same time, he had to complete the task of removing the artifacts from the grave in the shortest possible time, which often led to violent treatment. ”
Fang Ming naturally understood this, what he wanted to know was why Niu Ping didn't use this way:
"Niu Lao, that ...... Why aren't you like that? I've noticed that you've been very careful for fear of destroying the grave below. ”
"Huh! It's just a different view. ”
Niu Ping took a sip of water and continued: "I am a tomb robber, I admit it, and I don't feel that I am a noble and great person. But I have a principle, that is, to try not to destroy the antiques and artifacts underground, because such things are rare and even only one in the whole world, and no one is qualified to destroy them, and I naturally can't. ”
"I've been to a lot of tombs in my life, but I'm sure I have destroyed very little of them, and they've basically left them as they are, and if later archaeologists dig up such tombs, they'll be able to see what the tombs look like. Of course, I will also take the things in the grave, but I will not take much, and often not the most precious ones, but only some ordinary ones, which are used to sustain my life......"
Listening to this, Fang Ming couldn't help but be in awe.
Niu Ping is definitely a principled tomb robber. The dislike of tomb robbers in general is of course due to their disturbance of people after death.
But more often than not, it comes from the graves that have been dug up, and it is not so much that the robbers take things from the graves, but that they destroy everything in the graves.
For example, if the Luoyang shovel hits the center of the underground palace at once, the tomb robbers don't care about it at all, and immediately continue to fight, once there are precious cultural relics and treasures below, they will definitely be broken or damaged, so you can imagine what the result will be.
However, Niu is different, for example, when Fang Ming hit the porcelain piece with the Luoyang shovel before, he had already prevented Fang Ming from continuing to fight, in fact, if he continued to fight, it was easiest to determine the place where the underground palace of the imperial tomb was located, but Niu Ping did not do this, he chose a more secure method, that is, to punch a hole 500 meters away, he must first find out the flower soil, and after finding the flower soil, he is not satisfied, and he has to find the tomb through the flower soil. This is because the tomb passage is the only normal way to enter the core underground palace of the tomb, as long as it is found and broken, it will not cause great damage to the tomb when entering the tomb.
This is undoubtedly the most laborious and unflattering, but Niu Ping did just that!
For what?
In order not to destroy the tomb as much as possible.
And even if you want to take out antique treasures from the grave, it is only to take some less important ones, and you directly admit that you are doing it for money!
Such a principle is really rare for a tomb robber, and it is not easy to adhere to!
In the face of such a person, how could Fang Ming not be in awe?
"Fang Ming."
Fang Ming immediately sat up straight, looked at Niu Ping and said, "Old Niu, have you anything to say." ”
"Heh, don't be so serious, just have something to talk to you casually."
Niu Ping waved his hand and said: "That's the case, you are playing antiques now, and from some information I have learned, I know that you have extraordinary talent in this area, but because of this, you must pay attention to one thing, or that you have to assume the responsibility that you should bear, that is, you must protect the antiques as much as possible, and if you have the opportunity to go abroad in your lifetime, try to recover those antiques that have been lost abroad, no matter what method you use." ”
"It doesn't matter whose hands the things of the ancestors are, what matters is that they must stay on this land."
"Good! No problem! I agreed! And I'm going to try to do it! ”
Fang Ming nodded heavily, he knew that this was Niu Ping's expectation of himself, of course, this was also Fang Ming's own goal.
"Pillar, go get that little cage I brought."
Niu Ping turned around and commanded Zhao Zhuzi, who was sitting on the side.
"Good!"
Zhao Zhuzi didn't ask why, he immediately stood up and ran to the camping place, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Hey, Niu, what's in that cage? I see you are mysterious. ”
From the beginning of the departure, Fang Ming noticed that Niu Ping was carrying a small cage, which was covered with a cloth, and he couldn't see what was inside, which immediately aroused Fang Ming's curiosity, but since Niu Ping didn't say it, it was inconvenient for him to ask, and now it seemed that the mystery was about to be revealed.
"You'll find out in a moment!"
Niu Ping didn't plan to tell him in advance, and he wanted to keep the secret until the end.
"Okay, I'll wait."
In the face of Niu Ping's style, Fang Ming could only wait. But he didn't have to wait long, and soon Zhao Zhuzi returned, carrying the cage that Niu Ping almost never left his body.
"Grandpa Niu, the cage is here."
"Good!"
Niu Ping took it, placed it on the ground, and then carefully lifted the cloth that shrouded it.
Fang Ming's eyes widened suddenly, and the cage turned out to be a bird, but he had never seen such a bird before.
The head is relatively large, with inconspicuous black lines under the eyes, a white stripe on the eyebrows, a red brick at the top of the bird's head, and a lighter color behind the neck, black wings, but the feathers on the belly and tail, including the feet are white-brown.
Although the size cannot be said to be very large, that is, 20-30 cm long, as soon as the cloth is opened, his head is raised high, staring at Fang Ming deadly, making him feel as if he has become a prey!
What a fierce bird!
"What kind of bird is this?"
Fang Ming asked curiously.
"The falcon, a type of eagle, can be used for hunting when tamed."
Niu Ping opened the lid of the cage as he spoke, and then Fang Ming's eyes widened
, He actually saw the falcon slowly walk out on its own, and then with a flick of its wings, it flew up and stood on Niu Ping's shoulder, of course, still staring at himself and Zhao Zhuzi with a wary expression.
"Okay...... Niu Lao, what are you trying to do? ”
Niu Ping took the Saker off his shoulder, stroked it gently for a while as if it were his own child, and then took out a piece of meat from his pocket to feed it, and then raised his hand, and the Saker flew into the sky, and disappeared above the delayering in a blink of an eye.
"Let it find someone, there are so many imperial tombs, even if we find the tomb, it is impossible to clean it up."
Maybe it was because of the luck that couldn't be stopped, Fang Ming dug the first hole 500 meters away as Niu Ping said, and found flower soil ten meters away: when he looked at the dirt mixed up on the Luoyang shovel head and couldn't tell what color it was, his heart beat violently again.

Niu Ping is definitely a principled tomb robber. The common people's disgust with tomb robbers is of course due to their disturbance of the person after death, but more often than not, it comes from the fact that the grave robber has taken something from the grave as they have destroyed the grave.
