Yang Daguang ignored his "unsuccessful" younger brother, and then said to Yang Nantian: "Second uncle, I have heard people here talk about the legend of the real witch during the day, but is it reliable? That's a legend after all. ”

Yang Nantian said: "Boy, as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves. Since there is such a legend, it is possible that it is true. In the future, when the two of you wander the rivers and lakes alone, don't let go of these histories, stories and legends everywhere you go, maybe any one of them will take you to the tomb. ”

Yang Daguang then asked: "Even if the legend is true, there may not be a tomb underground?" ”

Yang Nantian said: "This requires you to use your brains and think for yourself." Let me ask you, what is the final ending of Shangwu Zhenren? ”

Yang Daguang thought for a while: "Some say that he cast a spell and escaped, some say that he broke through, and some say that he built a fortress in this forest...... Of course, there are also those who say that he built a large tomb in this forest. ”

"To say that he escaped with a spell that shrunk the ground into inches is pure nonsense. I've seen spells to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but it's a spell that overturns the river and the sea and shrinks the ground into inches...... I'm afraid only immortals can do it. If Shangwu Zhenren is really a god, he will not be beaten by the officers and soldiers. As for the breakthrough, it is even more impossible. The team of thousands of people is very conspicuous wherever they go, why has no one seen it? So, they must have ended up in the forest. As for whether it is a fortress or a tomb, it doesn't make much difference to us. As long as it is something underground, your second uncle and I have the ability to get it up and use it for me. Yang Nantian said.

"But second uncle, there are towering trees everywhere here. It is possible to say that there are tombs here, but it is impossible to have a large tomb or a fortress? If so, how should this tomb be dug up? Is it necessary to cut down the trees one by one? Yang Erguang looked back and forth at the surrounding trees.

"How is that possible? If you cut down a tree and dig it up, how can you not be discovered? Yang Daguang refuted and said, "This forest is full of towering trees, if it really falls down, it won't grow so big in more than ten years, who can't see the catty in it at a glance?" ”

"Then this ......" Yang Erguang didn't understand.

"Okay, okay, didn't you two dig with a Luoyang shovel during the day? What do you guys think? Yang Nantian asked.

Yang Daguang thought for a while and said: "The soil here is very compact, but it is a little damp, which may be related to the frequent rain here. When I went down with a shovel, it was all black soil, which was quite fertile, but I didn't see any five-flower soil. ”

"That's right, that's right, there's absolutely no five-flower soil!" Yang Erguang also echoed and said, "My eldest brother and I have changed many points according to your old instructions, and they are all the same. ”

Yang Nantian nodded: "You have been following me for so long, and you also know what that five-flower soil means." ”

Yang Erguang hurriedly said: "The five-flower soil is the stirring soil. The soil in the ground is originally layer by layer, and each layer has its own color and characteristics, but because the underground soil layer will be destroyed when digging the grave, and the soil is piled up together, the color will be mixed into a pile, showing a variety of colors, so it is called five-flower soil, and the color of this soil will not change for many years. Your old man also said that where there are five flowers and soil, the tomb will not be far from ten. ”

"The second one remembers it quite clearly." Yang Nantian praised with a smile.

"That's nature!" Yang Erguang said proudly, "I remember everything that the second uncle taught!" ”

Yang Nantian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you something again today, learn something!" ”

"Yes!" The Yang brothers replied in unison.

"Let me ask you, how many layers of soil can you see when you go down with a shovel?" Yang Nantian asked.

"Three!" Yang Daguang replied, "The top layer is black, the second layer is cyan, and the bottom layer is also black." ”

"Further down?" Yang Nantian asked.

"It's a little too deep down there, maybe it's all stones, and the shovel can't go down." Yang Daguang said.

Yang Nantian asked again: "Then how deep is the black soil layer above?" ”

Yang Daguang thought for a while and said, "Why do you have to have a dozen feet?" ”

"And how deep is the second layer?" Yang Nantian then asked.

"The second floor is only about a foot, and the third floor is more than a foot." Yang Daguang didn't wait for Yang Nantian to ask again, and said the second and third floors together.

"What is the quality of the soil in the second and third layers?"

"The second layer of soil is sticky, like mud, and the third layer looks like sand powder or something." Yang Daguang replied.

"You two haven't been with me for a long time, and there are a lot of things that you haven't had a chance to see, so you definitely won't know what the second layer is. But the third layer of black powder will be familiar to you. Think again. Yang Nantian reminded them.

Yang Daguang thought about it again and again, and suddenly looked up and said, "It's charcoal powder!" ”

"Yes, it's charcoal!" Yang Nantian said with a smile.

Yang Erguang was very puzzled: "What does charcoal have to do with the tomb?" ”

Yang Nantian explained: "In fact, when you brought up the first shovel, I already knew that there must be a big tomb underneath. Because the layer of cyan under the black soil is not ordinary soil, but the green plaster mud in the tomb specially used to protect the coffin from decaying! ”

Green plaster mud, also called kaolin, because this kind of soil to Jiangxi Jingdezhen kaolin is the best, it is delicate, moist, full of viscosity, is the best ceramic soil. Because it is not easy to seep water, it is also used to seal the coffin. This soil is cyan when wet, but when it dries, it turns white or blue-white, so some people call it white plaster.

"Green plaster? I think I've heard you talk about this. Yang Daguang said.

"I've really mentioned it before, but you kid should be careful." Yang Nantian praised him and said, "With this thing, plus that layer of charcoal powder, of course, you can tell that this is a tomb below...... You say, "There's a hard stuff down there, and you can't go down there, so guess there's a stone down there." Actually, you guessed correctly, it is indeed a stone, but the stone I guessed is still different from what you guessed. I think the stone you came across must be the roof of the tomb...... Therefore, although there is no five-flower soil here, there is this green paste mud and charcoal powder, which can also determine the location of the tomb......"

"Got it!" Suddenly, Yang Erguang shouted, Yang Nantian and Yang Daguang hurried over, only to see that the bottom of the pit they dug out revealed a big black hole. Yang Nantian took the lamp and shone it, and the Yang brothers looked at the entrance of the cave through the light, and saw that a trace of cold air was coming out of the cave. The two of them felt that the hole was like a gaping mouth, ready to devour anyone who wanted to enter it.
