Since Lao Lin Tou and I often walked around in the mountains, and because I had a background in the army, this difficulty was still not a problem for me.

But I didn't expect Qiu Yan to be like walking on the ground, she didn't look embarrassed at all, she used the grass and shrubs next to the ditch as a support point, and jumped up and down with a big backpack on her back, like a beautiful golden monkey.

Although the slippery ravine did not stump me and Qiu Yan, it suffered Xiang Wei who fell behind, compared with Qiu Yan, Xiang Wei is like a heavy bear, one step at a time, three steps and one heel.

In desperation, I threw out a rope and dragged him behind me.

In fact, when discussing yesterday, Xiang Wei questioned the route, saying that he had gone from top to bottom before, so why not take a flat and familiar road, and choose such a road that is not a road?

It was me who objected, it was indeed much easier to go down from the reservoir, but their previous actions had already attracted the attention of Lao Lin Tou, and it was inevitable that they would not meet him this time.

Moreover, this time there is also Da Li who guards the forest on the mountain, you must know that Da Li's method of passing the time in the mountain is to fish by the reservoir, if he leaves footprints on the side of the reservoir, he will definitely find it.

Qiu Yan agreed with me, and Xiang Wei naturally stopped insisting.

The three of them finally climbed to the side of the big bluestone, and when they looked at each other, they all became soup chickens, and I even felt that my underwear was wet.

Fortunately, it was already bright by this time, and although there was no sun shining in, at least the temperature was a little warmer.

After a short break, Qiu Yan poured out all the contents of the three backpacks, and I saw that there were a lot of mountaineering equipment in them, as well as some glow sticks, sapper shovels and the like, the most eye-catching of which were three sets of oxygen cylinders.

Qiu Yan handed me one of the oxygen cylinders, then took out a multimeter-like instrument and said:

"This is for monitoring the air, and if there is a lack of oxygen in it, it will alarm you, and then we will have to wear oxygen masks."

With that, she handed me another headlamp.

To be honest, I've counted the equipment we need before, but the things I think can't compare to Qiu Yan's set.

can think so carefully, so specifically, and the equipment is so professional, I think it is not only because Qiu Yan is delicate, it is very likely that she has been doing this for a long time, and these high-tech things are completely her accumulated experience.

Thinking of this, I can't help but be wary.

From the beginning when I found Qiu Yan to the present, she rarely told me the truth, and even only gave me a few good looks when she asked me before, and she has always been mysterious, and she is secretive about why she went to the tomb.

What makes me most uneasy is Qiu Yan's sophistication, it seems that in front of her, I am just a stunned boy who has just entered the rivers and lakes, but behind Qiu Yan, there is a secret like a deep sea.

While I was sorting out my equipment, I quietly observed Qiu Yan, who was wearing her equipment with the help of Xiang Wei at the moment, and didn't notice me.

Qiu Yan's complexion is not very white, and it can be seen that she often stays outdoors.

Her ponytail that had been tied up may have been messed up while climbing the mountain, and a few strands fell out and drooped in front of her ears.

Her cheeks, I don't know if it was sweat or dew, slowly slid down her sideburns.

Qiu Yan's eyebrows and eyes are very good-looking, but they are always wrinkled, which makes her a little heroic at the same time, but also gives people a feeling that they are not easy to approach.

To be honest, if it's the first time you meet such an image, you can't associate her with tomb robbers at all, and you can't think that such a girl will be in any danger at all.

As soon as I entered the cave, my mind immediately replayed those strange scenes, and the fear that I had disappeared due to the tension and fatigue of climbing the mountain immediately returned.

Qiu Yan crawled in front of me, I could see that she was also nervous, and after a while, the first floor of the passage came to an end, Qiu Yan lay on her stomach at the entrance to the lower level of the passage and refused to move, it seems that the scene of that day not only made me feel palpitations, but also the experienced Qiu Yan was also frightened.

"Hey, what are you waiting for?" I patted her on the leg and asked.

Qiu Yan turned her head, her eyes were full of sadness, and said:

"I'm scared!"

I didn't expect Qiu Yan, who has always been strong, to show such a weak side, which immediately stimulated my desire to protect, I quickly crawled over, imagined in a foreign movie, hugged Qiu Yan in my arms, and comforted her.

I thought that when I stretched out my hand, Qiu Yan would naturally snuggle up, who knew that I had waited for a long time, but Qiu Yan was sitting there like a log, although she seemed to be looking at me, but her eyes wandered out, obviously, she was caught in some kind of memory.

I withdrew my hands awkwardly and said with a wry smile:

"It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of, isn't there still my pendant?"

Qiu Yan came back to her senses, smiled bitterly, and explained:

"I'm not afraid of the tomb, but I'm afraid of returning again without success, and if I can't find it again this time, then ······ That ······"

I waited with my mouth open for a long time and didn't wait for Qiu Yan to finish speaking, I just saw that she seemed to be extremely self-blaming and sad, as if she would be at the end of the world if she couldn't find what she was looking for this time.

"What the hell are you looking for? It's like it's your life, what's the matter, if you can't find it, you won't be able to die? I said half-jokingly, half-seriously, trying to ease Qiu Yan's mood with a relaxed tone.

When Qiu Yan heard me ask, she immediately stopped talking, she took a deep breath, took the oxygen cylinder on her shoulder, and then went into the passage without saying a word.

The more Qiu Yan didn't say anything like this, the more curious I became, what was it that made such a beautiful woman stunted?

Seeing Qiu Yan disappear at the entrance of the passage, I hurriedly followed, and after a while, I came to the place where Qiu Yan and them were "hit".

I thought Qiu Yan would sigh here again, who knew that she didn't stop, and directly stuck her head into the hole they dug out before.

Under the illumination of the headlamp, I saw some bricks and stones scattered around the breach, which should have been left by Qiu Yan and the others when they broke the wall earlier.

The breach is not big, just enough to accommodate Qiu Yan's head, and if you want to go in, you have to break down some brick walls.

Qiu Yan looked inside for a while, then beckoned me to come over.

I ran over and squatted beside Qiu Yan, tilting my head to see what was going on inside, and Qiu Yan also leaned her head over, and she pointed to a certain place in the hole and said to me:

"Look, that's the coffin."

I looked in the direction she was pointing at the headlamp, and saw that it was a chamber-sized burial chamber, with nothing in it but a stone platform in the middle.

I couldn't help but sneer:

"I thought it was amazing, but this is too simple!"

Qiu Yan stepped aside, took out the sapper shovel from her back, and explained unhurriedly:

"In ancient times, there was a lack of materials, the means of transportation were inferior, not all the tombs were the same as those princes and generals, in such a big mountain, it was still a toast that was not even a nine-grade sesame official, and it was good to have a mausoleum of this size!"

With that, Qiu Yan took the sapper shovel and began to dig the grave.

"No, are you sure what you're looking for is really in there? I don't think there's even a decent funeral item in it. ”

After listening to my words, Qiu Yan paused and said:

"I wish it was here, but I'm not sure."

Seeing Qiu Yan's face gradually become sad, I quickly took out the sapper shovel and comforted while helping to dig the grave:

"Hey, it's all here, whether there is it or not, let's go and see it first."

The process of digging the grave is very simple, which is completely different from the dangerous but wonderful tomb robbery that I remember, it looks like digging a cellar for storing sweet potatoes.

It didn't take long for the two of us to dig a meter square, Qiu Yan motioned for me to stop, and then drilled into it first.

I took the sapper shovel in my hand and followed Qiu Yan into the tomb.

It may be that the tomb has been opened for a few days through the wind, and the air inside is not very bad, and I took the pendant off my neck as soon as I came in, and the memory of being choked before is still vivid, and I don't want to go through it again.

Qiu Yan first circled around the stone platform, and then began to look at her surroundings, and I followed behind her, holding the pendant and always on guard.

"The form of Tusi's tomb has a lot to do with his ethnic group, the Tujia people are a very simple people, they don't have very delicate ornaments like the surrounding Miao and Yi people, so their tombs are also not too much decoration."

Qiu Yan was like a tour guide, looking around at the surrounding tomb walls while explaining to me.

"But the Tujia people are a very mysterious people, they studied under Chiyou, but they are very low-key, their mausoleums are never determined according to traditional feng shui, and there are few documents in the tomb that record their lives, it seems that they are deliberately hiding their life experience, so as to keep some kind of ancient secret!"

I smiled disdainfully and said:

"Isn't that obvious? They were afraid that their tomb would be stolen, so they played their cards out of common sense and chose the tomb in an unexpected place. ”

"No, it's not!" Qiu Yan turned her head abruptly and said seriously, "That's right, most people don't want their graves to be discovered by tomb robbers, so they will set traps in the tombs, or bury their tombs very deep and strongly. ”

When Qiu Yan said this, she looked at the walls around her, changed her words, and continued:

"But they don't really want to hide themselves, they set up a very beautiful tombstone for themselves, and engrave their life deeds in detail on the tombstone, and the princes will meet and compete to make themselves go down in history, and they carve murals in the tomb, and the funeral goods they choose are afraid that they do not match their identity."

"But the Tujia people are different, and there are few historical records of the Tujia Tusi, and even if there are records, they are only a few hasty strokes.

These toasts do not arrange tombs according to traditional feng shui, but the people of the Tujia family believe in feng shui, and these toasts seem to prefer to let themselves be doomed rather than take any risks to expose their tombs, He Zimu, don't you think this is strange? As she spoke, Qiu Yan looked at me again.
