Chapter 608: Zhang Xianzhong's Treasure (Medium)

"What's that?!" When He Qing dug up a foreign object from the ditch wall, Master Pan and the others who were standing on the side also noticed it, and Master Pan couldn't help but exclaim.

He Qing stopped what he was doing, put down the iron pickaxe and said, "It seems to be an iron door." ”

"Is it an iron door?!" Master Pan was even more surprised and said, "How can there be an iron gate on it?" ”

He Qing replied, "There may be a secret way. ”

He could reasonably infer this, because he could clearly see a strong "treasure light" escaping from it, and if there was no secret passage, how could there be such a scene?

Master Pan asked, "What is the secret way?" Don't...... Is it the one that leads to the tomb? That's the entrance to the tomb! ”

As soon as these words came out, several archaeologists and staff next to them were shocked, but they didn't expect that there was really a huge discovery below, and they dug up the entrance to the ancient tomb, but how could the ancient tomb be located by the river?

He Qing shook his head lightly and said, "It's hard to say now, but there is a possibility." Let's dig and see. ”

With that, he picked up the pickaxe again and dug hard at the place where the metal object was.

"Dangdang" The screech of metal slamming, the thing gradually appeared.

"It's really an iron gate!" Seeing this, Master Pan said in surprise and joy, "Xiao He, you are really like a god, there is really an iron door hidden underneath, presumably the entrance to the ancient tomb is here!" ”

He Qing nodded and said, "It's an iron gate, but it's not the entrance to the ancient tomb, which still needs to be verified." Don't be in a hurry, dig slowly and see. ”

At the moment, he dug unhurriedly. After a while, the corner of the iron gate was completely revealed, and there was a certain gap between it and the bottom of the ditch, which confirmed their judgment.

"You see, there is a gap in this, and the water is flowing into it, which means that there is a secret passage behind the door." He Qing pointed to the bottom of the iron door that had been dug up and said.

Master Pan nodded and said, "Yes, now I can be sure, there is a secret passage here, which should lead to the ancient tomb." ”

The existence of the ancient tombs seems to them to be unquestionable. Because this is what He Qing said personally. His judgment will certainly not be wrong, and it can be convinced.

Now the only question is where is the entrance to the ancient tomb, and whether it is in the secret passage behind this door.

However, the whole door will soon show the true face of Lushan. Wait and you'll be able to open it later. Check it out.

"The situation is not very clear. But anyway, let's dig up the iron gate first. He Qing said, and after finishing speaking, he continued to do things. Keep digging.

After about half an hour, the entire iron door was fully revealed, and I saw that the door was equipped with a huge rusty iron lock, which firmly bound the iron door to the stone wall, blocking the secret passage behind the door, and if you wanted to see the secret passage, the only way to see it was to open the door.

"There's a lock on the door, how do I open it?" Master Pan asked, he was a little confused.

The staff member on the side said, "Let's use a chainsaw, but we have to ask someone to bring the chainsaw." ”

He Qing shook his head and said, "Don't bother so much, you can open the lock by finding the key." ”

"But where is the key?" Master Pan wondered.

"Not necessarily, look for it." He Qing replied solemnly, and then he squatted down and stretched out his hand to carefully scoop in the muddy water under the iron gate.

"The key has been found." After a while, he stood up, and he had an antique key in his hand.

Master Pan exhaled and said, "Is this okay?" Now that you've found the key, it's great, try it and see if you can open it. ”

"It should be fine." He Qing nodded confidently.

Then he used the key he took out of the water to put a lid on the huge lock on the iron door, only to hear a "click", the lock bar popped out, and it opened smoothly.

"It really opens! That's great! Master Pan cheered.

He Qing quickly removed the iron lock and threw it aside, now that the iron door had been found, the lock was useless.

After the door lock was opened, He Qing pushed open the iron door without hesitation.

The moment the iron door opened, a very strong smell of decay came to my nose.

"It smells terrible!" Che Juan sighed.

He Qing said: "Of course, this secret passage has been blocked for hundreds of years, so it's no wonder that the musty smell is not big." ”

"Hundreds of years?!" Che Juan was surprised, "How do you know? What period is the tomb buried here? ”

He Qing smiled slightly and said, "You'll know later, don't worry." Master Pan, let's go in and have a look. ”

"Well, okay, let's go inside." Master Pan nodded hurriedly in agreement, he was naturally looking forward to it, and he wanted to go in to find out the situation.

At that moment, He Qing stepped into the secret passage first.

In the secret passage, the stagnant water is relatively deep, one foot high and one low, but it can easily flow in.

The light inside was also very dim, but fortunately, He Qing had already prepared and asked Master Pan and them to bring a flashlight, under the light of the flashlight, the surroundings were very bright and could be seen clearly.

"This secret passage is huge, like a trench." After following He Qing in, Master Pan observed the four directions.

He Qing said: "Yes, it's big. ”

"Will the front be flooded?" Master Pan asked with some concern, "If the ancient tomb is flooded, then we may not be able to find intact cultural relics, the erosion of water is very large, and the damage to cultural relics is very strict!" ”

He Qing shook his head and said, "Probably not." ”

The person who designed this "ancient tomb" must have been very clever and well-designed, otherwise he would not have chosen to be by the river.

"That's good." Master Pan nodded.

They discussed as they slowly moved forward.

After turning a corner, the secret passage extends upwards, gradually breaking away from the water and into a dry place.

"Master Pan, did you see that? It was dry and had not been eroded by water. He Qing pointed to the front and greeted happily.

"Well, I see." Master Pan smiled happily, "It seems that the ancient tomb is on the side of the mountain, but the entrance is here at the water's edge, and it just makes a big bend." ”

He Qing said indifferently: "Maybe." ”

The specific situation of the ancient tomb is now only known to him, and Master Pan and Che Juan are completely unknown.

Soon they walked out of the muddy water and came to a dry place, and the secret passage continued to stretch upward, and no one knew where it led except He Qing.

"He Qing, it's been so long, why haven't you come to the end and entered the ancient tomb?" After walking a long distance, Che Juan couldn't help but ask.

He Qing said unhurriedly: "Don't be impatient, the entrance has been found, are you afraid that you won't be able to find the hinterland of the ancient tomb?" ”

Master Pan smiled: "Yes, don't worry, with Xiaohe leading the way, what do we have to worry about?" There's definitely something we're looking for ahead. ”

"That's right." Che Juan nodded and agreed, "It's just the first time I've walked to this kind of place, and I'm panicking." Ah, what's that?! ”

Suddenly, she let out an exclamation and pointed straight ahead to somewhere.

He Qing immediately looked in the direction she was pointing, and what caught his eye was a pile of Bai Sensen's bones, and someone was buried in this secret passage.

"That's bones." He Qing said in a calm tone, "This is an ancient tomb, and it is normal to see human bones. Master Pan, let's go over and see what the situation is. ”

He quickened his pace and walked straight towards the pile of white bones.

As they approached, they were horrified to find that the pile of bones was large, and it was clearly not the bones of one person, but the bones of several people piled together.

"There are four skulls in a row, indicating that four people died here." He Qing observed.

"Four people died here?" Master Pan wondered, "You mean to say that they died in this ancient tomb, not buried here after their deaths?" ”

He Qing nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it is very possible, otherwise the corpses cannot be piled up casually." Also, did you see it, there were knives and forks pressed under the bones, if I read it correctly, it should be ordinary weapons used by ancient soldiers, and they carried weapons on them, indicating that they were not ordinary people, but soldiers. ”

"See." Master Pan nodded vigorously and said, "That's indeed a weapon." ”

"There's some silver scattered next to that skull." Che Juan said in surprise.

He Qing also quickly noticed that there was some broken silver, but the amount was not much, less than a few taels.

"Those broken silvers should also be carried by these four soldiers, and they are the salaries they have received." He Qing said.

"And how did they die?" Master Pan wondered, "Which dynasty are they soldiers from?" ”

He Qing smiled and said, "I won't verify this anymore, you should know better than me, right?" It can be judged by checking the weapons they are carrying. As for how they died, it's even harder to say, it is estimated that he killed it, or he went on a hunger strike and forgot about it, people are trapped in this, their food is exhausted, and they will starve to death after not long, this possibility is not impossible. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned down, carefully picked up the pieces of silver from one of the skulls, and picked them up.

"Master Pan, these broken silver have some research value, you can take them back." After picking up the broken silver, He Qing inspected it and handed it to Master Pan, the value of the silver was far less than that of gold, so he didn't value it much.

"Well, we have to put it away." Master Pan nodded hurriedly and took it.

Later, He Qing said, "Let's go to the front and see what kind of situation is inside." ”

"Well, let's go." Master Pan and Che Juan responded in unison.

After that, the group continued to walk along the secret passage, and every few steps forward, they would see a pile of bones, all of which were left behind after the death of several soldiers.

After walking for a while, the secret passage became a downward trend, and it seemed to go around in a zigzag way.

Along the way, He Qing was staring at the aura shrouded in front of him, and the further he went, the more intense it became.

"The treasure should be right in front of here, right?!" When the "treasure light" gradually appeared purple, He Qing couldn't help but get excited in his heart. (To be continued......)
