In the evening, the two returned with a full load, and Zhang Baoer seemed to have become her follower, carrying a pocket in each hand, which was full of some gadgets that Cheng Jiao bought in the West Market. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The two talked and laughed, and when they arrived at the door, Zhang Baoer looked up suddenly, only to see Wang Qi squatting at the bottom of the steps, squeezing his eyebrows at him.

Zhang Baoer pulled him to a secluded place and couldn't wait to ask, "Have you dug through the thief hole?" ”

Wang Qidao: "The last section has been dug, Xiaoshan and Ah Gou are working, it is estimated that it will take two more hours to get through." ”

Xiaoshan and Ah Gou are his two apprentices.

Zhang Bao'er was overjoyed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work." ”

Zhang Baoer returned to Cheng Jiao, handed her the two pockets, and said that she was going to leave for the imperial tomb.

Cheng Jiao took out a string of Tianlu made of black agate from her pocket, tied it around Zhang Bao'er's neck, and said: "This string of Tianlu was originally bought for you, and it is just right to wear it, and it can be used to ward off evil spirits." I know I can't stop you, so remember, if you can't do it, don't force it. ”

Zhang Baoer was grateful in her heart and thought: "It turns out that she is so good to me, but she is thin-skinned and doesn't want to show it." ”

After Cheng Jiao tied it, she took a step back, looked at him and said, "I'm tired and want to go back to the attic to sleep, I hope that when you wake up, you can appear in front of me safely." ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded and smiled: "A word is a certainty." ”

Zhang Baoer quietly called Uncle Hua, hired a carriage, and hurried to the imperial tomb at a gallop.

"Uncle, if we call the island owner, otherwise I always feel bottomless!" Uncle Hua said nervously.

Zhang Baoer shook her head and said, "No, let's go by ourselves!" ”

The three of them got off at a place five or six miles away from the mausoleum area, and walked a few miles to climb the Loess Mountain. Wang Qi led Zhang Baoer and Uncle Hua to a stop in a treacherous area. The two looked left and right, overgrown with weeds, and there was no thief hole. Just as he was wondering, he saw Wang Qi grab a tuft of weeds and lift it up together with the loess below, revealing a black hole.

Zhang Bao'er was amazed, obviously these grasslands were born here, they dug up the whole piece, and then put it back to cover the entrance of the cave, so that it was seamless, even if someone passed by in broad daylight, they would never find it. Sure enough, each industry has its own skills, and it is extremely difficult to dig a thief hole more than two miles long in four days, and it is really convincing to be able to do it so concealed and thoughtful.

Wang Qi pointed to a lamp under the mountain and said in a low voice: "That is the garrison of the sergeant guarding the tomb, and the robbery cave is from below. ”

When Zhang Baoer heard what he said, she seemed to have a creepy meaning, could it be that she would encounter any abnormal situation in the thief cave?

Wang Qi was the last to burrow into the cave and seal the entrance of the cave, and it was pitch black in an instant, and the rest was to keep crawling forward. Zhang Bao'er felt that the cave had been going down, climbed for about a mile, and gradually became gentle, presumably at the foot of the mountain, and began to extend to the mausoleum. After climbing another mile, it became uphill again, Zhang Baoer thought it was interesting at first, but at this time, she felt that her back was sore and her legs were weak, and she was not as comfortable as outside. was secretly complaining, suddenly the bottom of his hand was empty, and his side was open, but it was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and he didn't know where he was.

Wang Qi lit the torch, the surroundings lit up, you can see that this is a downward inclined tunnel, the top is a stone arch coupon, the ground is paved with blue bricks, there is a tunnel door leading to the Ming Tower up, and at the end of the tunnel down, it is the main gate of Xuanguan. Now this stone door is half opened, and the thousand catties of stone are rolling aside, and at a glance, you can see that it is artificially opened.

"These two kings and eight lambs, seeing that the money was open-eyed, said that they would wait for us at the door after digging through, but they hurriedly went in, and they were not afraid of being ambushed by the organs?" Wang Qi scolded and scolded.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked at it, he let out an "ouch" and froze in place.

The place where the dead are buried is already full of mystery and horror, and when he shouted this, Zhang Baoer and Uncle Hua were shocked into a cold sweat, and they both rushed to the front and looked inward. I saw shovels, hammers, steel drills and other things scattered on the ground, and Wang Qi recognized that they were used by his two apprentices. Judging from his experience, the only possibility that the tomb robbers had abandoned the eating guys was that they had encountered an anomaly here.

The atmosphere suddenly became depressed, and the faces of the three of them turned blue, and they were in a dilemma for a while.

"It's theirs!" Wang Qi's teeth trembled, looked at Zhang Bao'er and said, "My lord, there must be a problem here, let's run for our lives, right?" ”

Zhang Bao'er snatched his torch and shone it inside, but because the light was limited, he could only see a distance within five zhang. First of all, the front hall of the Xuanguan is empty and without any furnishings.

Zhang Bao'er wiped a handful of sweat and asked, "What happened to them?" ”

Wang Qi shook his head again and again, and said with a bitter face: "I only know that except for Xiaoshan and Ah Gou, there are only dead people here." ”

Zhang Bao'er pondered for a long time, and said in her heart: "If you are ambushed by the organ, why is there no corpse in this vicinity, and there is no bloodstain?" ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Bao'er comforted Wang Qi, "Don't think nonsense, maybe as you said, they saw the money, dropped the tools, and went in to grab the baby." ”

"Impossible!" Wang Qi said categorically, "Ordinary tomb robbers like us have never seen the emperor's tomb, and we don't know what the situation inside is, so we must bring our tools with us, and in case we are trapped, we can also make a hole and escape." ”

Zhang Baoer knew that she didn't know as much about this trip as Wang Qi, but she must not echo it at this time, otherwise Wang Qi would be even more timid. After a lot of effort, he finally entered the mausoleum, and if he stopped outside the door, he would really be unwilling.

"If you don't see the corpses, it's better to conclude that they're dead, right?" Zhang Bao'er stepped into the stone gate and called: "Xiaoshan, a dog......"

There was a flurry of echoes, but no answer. Zhang Baoer took a few steps forward, seemingly indifferent, but in fact she was a hundred times more careful. Seeing this, Uncle Hua was afraid that Zhang Baoer would make a mistake, so he hurriedly followed.

Wang Qi was still standing in front of the door, his face was pale, panicked, and every time Zhang Bao'er took a step, his heart jumped "suddenly". Suddenly, Zhang Bao'er stopped in the middle of the front hall and leaned over to pick up an object. It was a soft-soled cloth shoe, undamaged except for the dirt.

Zhang Bao'er raised her hand, threw the cloth shoes at Wang Qi, and asked, "Is it theirs?" ”

"Yes...... It's a dog's ......" Wang Qi caught the cloth shoes and replied in a trembling voice.

After receiving his affirmative answer, Zhang Baoer gasped, Xiaoshan and Ah Gou may throw away their tools because they took the treasure, but it is impossible to take off their shoes, right? It seems that something has happened to them, and the only doubt is whether they are still alive.
