Chapter 280: Seeing the Light of Day Again
In the end, the tomb builder found his own dug escape passage in the tomb, but the soil inside was still very muddy, and he didn't know how deep the muddy soil was buried, and he knew that the muddy soil was not easy to dig.
It is only when the passage is dug that it is dug in a straight line that it joins the previously dug passage, which is also to prevent water from remaining in the previous passage.
I don't know how the ancients divided the direction in the tomb at that time, presumably they must have their own way, and the two passages were finally opened at the straight passage, but this time they did not choose to stay, but left the tomb directly, and since then they have lived in seclusion in the mountains, incognito, eating wild vegetables and drinking spring water, it is better than dying in the tomb.
The fact that Hyosung found a stone with soil on the tomb wall was also caused by the impact of water on this burial chamber, and the soil was supposed to be muddy at the time, but now it is only hanging around the cracks in the stone after it has dried out.
In this way, there should be a direct passage to the outside world under the tomb where Shui Xiaoxing is located, but after his tomb builders leave, they must have sealed the entrance to the cave, but even if it is sealed, there should be soil layers of different colors left in the tomb, which is not difficult to imagine, this does not need to rob the tomb, the tomb robbery is to take out something and come out to seal the hole, so the tomb robber is on the ground to seal the hole.
And the escape passage seals the entrance of the cave, which is exactly the opposite of the way the tomb robbers fill the soil, it is to fill the soil from the hole to the ground, because the ground is not visible, in order to prevent the soil from being deposited soon, the hole appears potholes, so the soil from the hole to the ground will definitely be higher than the ground, and this is a very test of people's skills, that is, bury a part of the soil in the hole, and then use tools or wooden sticks to push the soil up little by little, and at the same time continue to add soil to the inside, and finally seal all the passages, Until after bypassing the tomb wall, this will not be seamless, but at least it will cause a lot of trouble for those who can enter the tomb.
But people are wise regardless of ancient and modern, although the ground of this tomb is said to be high on the left and low on the right as a whole, but there are large and small dirt bags on the left and low on the right, which must be confusing, if this tomb is found, then these dirt bags are enough to deceive everyone who investigates, even if this place is dug upside down, then it will take some time, this time is enough to let the escaped tomb builders run to a hundred miles or thousands of miles away.
At this time, Shui Xiaoxing, Lin Yao, and Xinyue stood on the right side of this tomb, there are many large and small dirt bags here, Shui Xiaoxing touched the soil bag with his hand, it was very soft, this softness means that you can grasp it with your hands, but it will not fall away at a touch.
"Brother Hyosung, it's strange here, this soil seems to have been dug up artificially, otherwise how could the ground be so uneven?" Lin Yao asked.
"It's a little strange, maybe the exit we are looking for is in these dirt bags!" Shui Xiaoxing analyzed.
Lin Yao looked around, frowned again and said, "There must be at least forty or fifty large and small dirt bags here, we can't dig them one by one, I guess we will all die of exhaustion here before we finish digging." ”
Shui Xiaoxing analyzed it and said: "I suddenly remembered the matter of stealing the hole, that is, about the color of the soil layer, presumably this is similar to the theft of the hole, even if the soil is backfilled, the color of the soil layer should have many changes, I think we will pick the color of the soil layer is different to dig, so that the scope is greatly reduced." ”
Saying that, a few people can go to find each other, and then dig it up, Shui Xiaoxing dug very quickly, Lin Yao also worked hard, Xinyue was lazy for a while, and from time to time he shouted fear and terror to help dig, and he watched from the sidelines, ghost girl! The crescent moon is well deserved.
Almost everyone dug to a distance of one meter and five to two meters from the ground, and Shui Hyosung was taller, so he dug deeper, and Shui Hyosung had already dug to the third dirt bag, but when he dug parallel to the ground, he found that the soil in the center of this dirt bag was completely different from the soil on both sides, and the soil in it was very similar to the soil seen on the tomb wall before, showing brown and black Tibetan colors, and the surrounding soil was brown and yellow, black and mixed with cyan.
There is a big difference between the two, because the center of the place was originally a channel, but it was filled with dirt after being hit by the undercurrent, so the soil here is darker than the surrounding soil.
This Shui Hyosung saw the signs, he had the motivation, this time he dug to a depth of three or four meters, the soil layer is really much more obvious than the surrounding soil layer, Shui Hyosung also gradually dug out an arc line that extends to the ground, about five meters when digging, it is more and more difficult to dig, and the humidity is getting bigger and bigger, but the color difference of the soil layer is still very large, the new moon did not see Shui Xiaoxing come up for a while, so he ran to Shui Xiaoxing to take a look, only to find that Shui Xiaoxing had disappeared, she hurriedly jumped down, Squatted and walked in slowly......
"Brother Hyosung, Brother Hyosung!" Two new moon shouts, but the sound was not loud, the sound in the cave was far away, Shui Xiaoxing hurriedly responded to the new moon and said: "I'm here, the new moon should be an escape route, don't come here first, go back and call Lin Meizi to come in, there is more and more soil here, and you have to clean up part of it." ”
Xinyue heard Shui Xiaoxing's words, and also understood the general meaning, that is, I was afraid that after too much soil, Lin Yao would not be able to enter, so after Lin Yao came in, the soil could be backfilled, but it could not be completely sealed, and there must be gaps to prevent everyone from dying of lack of oxygen.
Xinyue agreed and retreated, called Lin Yao again, and summoned the fear back, at this time, there was no need for fear and fear, Xinyue let the two rag dolls go back, as for where they returned to Xinyue I don't know, just saw that the two of them disappeared out of thin air!
There are three people left, everyone will change to dig the channel, with Lin Yao on the side, Xinyue is not good to be lazy anymore, so I had to dig for a while, this girl is very lucky, the channel was completely opened after digging, and the passage inside is much larger than the previous Shui Xiaoxing dug, at least people don't have to squat, but they can bend over and walk, the three of them are very happy, you and I don't know where this passage will lead, so the three of them walked towards the passage......
And in the tomb, Edamame and the others were still in the main priest's room at this time, and they were also looking for a way to leave here at this time, and Edamame and the others were much luckier than Shui Xiaoxing and the others, only to hear Teacher Xiaoqing shouting: "Come and see, there is a hole in this corner!" ”
The entrance to the cave is not big, but it seems to be much larger than this hole, Edamame and the others hurriedly ran over, Edamame looked inside, and said: "There seems to be a cave in here, it seems that it is not man-made, maybe it was dug by some kind of animal, but I don't know if we can enter." ”
Then everyone took shifts to dig, and it took a lot of effort to put the bottom two boulders in contact with the ground, and a gap was chiseled, and they all knew that these girls were very thin, and Edamame could barely get in, but after drilling in, I found that it was indeed a cave, and Edamame could only crawl in it, but I don't know what animal was digging, and the caliber of the hole must not be small, Edamame is not afraid of anything else, the most afraid is something like a giant python that can hurt people, in this small space, Taoism can not be opened, It is very likely that they will die in vain and let them have a meal.
But thinking about it again, this may be the only chance to go out, so if you have the chance, you must give it a try, Edamame Doudou shouted Su Xin and the others to come in, but when it came to the big head, he was too fat, so he had to dig the hole by himself for a while, and then he barely squeezed in, but the waist circumference of the hole and the big head is almost equal, fortunately, this animal is on par with the body of the big head, and it is not enough to let the big head get stuck somewhere, but it is very difficult for the big head to crawl, just listen to him say: "I went, this is also too small, will my brother be stuck in the master!" ”
Edamame turned his head sideways and said, "Shhh Be quiet, you try not to be stuck, otherwise no one will be able to save you. ”
But when Edamame climbed to a distance of more than ten meters, he found an abnormality in front of him, the thing in front of him was looking at Edamame, and Edamame's headlamp also shone on the body of the object, and then Edamame Doudou took a deep breath, it turned out that what was in front of him was a huge groundhog! It is estimated that it is also because of the mutation of genes caused by too long in the tomb, which will grow to close to the size of a human.
Edamame knows that the marmot is a vegetarian animal and will not do anything to people, but after the mutation, it needs to be guarded against, and when Edamame approached the giant marmot, the marmot seemed to feel the danger and fled.
"We should be able to go out, this is the burrow of mutant marmots, they will definitely hit the burrow to the ground," Edamame shouted, Su Xin and Teacher Xiaoqing were very happy, but the big head couldn't laugh at this time, not to mention that he was uncomfortable.
There are still many forks in the hole of the marmot, and each one is very long, this crawl everyone does not know whether they have climbed hundreds of meters, or thousands of meters, but after everyone's unremitting efforts, finally Edamame is the first to climb to the entrance of the hole, at this time it should be daytime outside, Edamame covered his eyebrows with his hands, it seems that he is not about to see the sun, after going out, Edamame looked around, here is a dense grass, and then look at the mountain in the distance, this is a big surprise, it turns out that the tomb of the emperor of Hongshan is so big, The dense woods at the bottom of the mountain are probably the places where they were camped before, and then Su Xin and Teacher Xiaoqing both climbed out, and when the big head climbed to the entrance of the cave, he hurriedly came out, and he just lay down in the grass and shouted: "Brother finally came out alive." ”
This sentence reminded Edamame Doudou, Su Xin and the others, they were all thinking about Shui Xiaoxing at this time, where should they be at this time? Hopefully, they'll come out safe and sound.
As for the passage that Shui Xiaoxing and the others walked through, it was very long, but although it was long, they also rushed to the exit, but they were not as lucky as Edamame, the exit was blocked, and Shui Xiaoxing had to continue digging, but after digging for a while, the bright light appeared in front of their eyes, and then Shui Xiaoxing was the first to jump out, and then turned around and pulled Lin Yao and Xinyue up.
After the three of them came up, Shui Xiaoxing took a closer look, and realized that this tomb builder was really smart, he actually made the passage so remote, and it was so far away, and there was also a grass in front of him, and he could still see the Red Mountain from a distance, but he didn't know if this grass was the grass where Edamame and the others were.
