Chapter 181: There is nothing that cannot be solved by a fire
After the explosion, there was silence in the Emperor's Tomb.
Yang Zhending looked at the 'masterpiece' in front of him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, outlining a sly smile full of evil spirit.
It can be seen that Yang Zhending is very satisfied with his results.
Under the bombardment of long guns and short cannons, all the meat dumplings are floating clouds!
This is the confidence from Yang Zhending!
"Dashuai, this blood river is a corpse raising ground, these are blood ghouls in it, a kind of meat dumplings that are raised in blood water, although it is very fierce, but because it is soaked in blood water all year round, so the body is very fragile, just now under the bombardment of our few cannons, it should basically be cleared, but I see that this blood river has been extending inward without end, maybe there are more blood ghouls swimming under the water, so we have to pass as soon as possible."
Yang Zhending whispered beside Xiong Maolin and said respectfully.
This Xiong Maolin is also in his fifties, with a fat body, a general's belly, a mustache, and a pair of small eyes, but he exudes fine light, which perfectly interprets what is called 'small eye spotlight'.
Xiong Maolin nodded, very satisfied with Yang Zhending's operation.
In fact, Xiong Maolin had already made very perfect preparations when he went to the tomb, especially in terms of ammunition.
Although the warlord of the Anhui clan behind Xiong Maolin had just fought a fierce battle with his direct family and successfully occupied the territory in the vicinity, Xiong Maolin's army with sufficient ammunition and strong soldiers did not participate in the battle, but left all the firepower of his entire division in this tomb of the emperor of Futuo Kingdom!
His eyes turned to the river of blood in front of him, and although the shell bombardment just now was fierce, he deliberately avoided the bridge over the river of blood.
One of the advance teams stepped forward to test first, and the river of blood had indeed been blown up so calmly that it didn't even bubble up again.
Maybe it's really like what Yang Zhending said, the blood ghouls are very fragile because they are soaked in blood water all year round, and the two consecutive shell bombardments directly took these blood ghouls into their nests.
But it can't be ruled out that more blood ghouls will swim from somewhere else.
After determining the absolute safety of the walk, the large force began to cross the river quickly.
The further you go, the darker your vision becomes.
Fortunately, the size of the army is very large, with an average of five people having a wind lantern, even if there are many fireflies, it will shine, especially when the troops cross this bridge over the blood river, it is like a fire dragon moving forward.
To tell the truth, this momentum alone can really compete with the momentum of the imperial tomb of this Futuo country.
Why do you say that?
Because of the first round of confrontation, the 50mm caliber cannonball blew up the blood ghouls in the blood river, and the biggest advantage of this victory is to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers, and eliminate the fear and depression brought by this Futuo Emperor's Tomb to everyone.
After crossing this blood river, there are three pagoda temples less than 100 meters in front.
No! Two seats, to be exact! The Gen Yuan Hall in the middle has collapsed and is in a ruined ruins.
Zhao Yang walked through the gap in the crowd and glanced at the ruins of the Gen Yuan Palace, which was still the same as it was at the beginning.
As for the two side halls on both sides of the Gen Yuan Palace, they are still standing smoothly.
Because of the lack of the glory of the Gen Yuan Palace, it seems that these two side halls are very majestic, and a gate more than four meters high in front of it is closed, without any door plaque, so it seems very mysterious, and it makes people wonder through.
Zhao Yang had personally seen the fierce and treacherous organ of the Gen Yuan Hall in the middle, and presumably the side halls on both sides were by no means good, so Zhao Yang did not choose to enter at the beginning, but took a detour.
Well, now this suspense is left to Yang Zhending.
Unless Yang Zhending also chooses to take a detour.
But this is unlikely, at least for Yang Zhending, who is now in the midst of expansion.
After all, they're here to steal the treasure, not to go sightseeing!
As for how Yang Zhending will enter these two side halls?
What surprises will these two side halls bring to everyone?
Zhao Yang said that he was very interested in this and waited and seeed.
At this time, more than 20 people approached the two side halls with torches in their hands, and then without saying a word, they directly threw the torches in their hands on the eaves of the two side halls on the left and right.
"What does that mean? Burn with fire? ”
Zhao Yang's eyes widened in surprise in an instant, and he was almost broken by Yang Zhending's divine operation again.
Because the main frame of the side hall on both sides is wooden, after more than a dozen torches were thrown at the same time, the torches stained with a large amount of kerosene quickly ignited the side hall, and the fire became more and more vigorous!
"Grumpy! It's really grumpy! ”
Zhao Yang looked at the two side halls where the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and felt his scalp tingle, and immediately guessed Yang Zhending's clever mind.
A fire burned down these two side halls, and no matter what sophisticated and dangerous mechanisms there were in them, they were all burned to ashes! Even if there is a large meat dumpling inside, under such a big fire, it can be burned into 'braised pork dumplings'.
But if there are gold and silver burial goods in these two side halls, they will not be burned, and even if the gold is burned, it is still gold!
As for the burial goods such as calligraphy and paintings, ceramics and jade, they are not worth much in this troubled era.
This is also why when contemporary archaeologists excavate ancient tombs, even if they encounter the ancient tombs 'patronized' by tomb robbers, they will also unearth many bottles and jars of porcelain and jade, because they are all tomb robbers are too lazy to take them, and fall into the tombs.
Therefore, Yang Zhending will not hesitate to burn these two side halls to ashes first, and then go to look for possible gold and silver burial goods, anyway, Yang Zhending and Xiong Maolin came to this emperor's tomb with such fanfare, not for archaeology, the purpose is very simple, just for gold and silver!
This trick is absolutely safe and risk-free, even if you have meat dumplings, you are not afraid.
But the only thing that is so destructive to the tomb is that it is too great!
This is really unscrupulous for the sake of profit! Outrageous!
At the same time, Zhao Yang had to admire this Yang Zhending's unusual methods!
But then again, this Futuo country itself is an evil demon country in the Tang Dynasty, and if the tomb can end up like this, it can be regarded as the reincarnation of heaven!
This is like the Dongling Tomb patronized by Master Sun, the owner of the tomb was dragged out of the coffin and whipped the corpse, which can be regarded as the reincarnation of heaven!
Let's get to the point.
The fire in the side halls on both sides of the Genyuan Hall became more and more intense, the blazing fire crackled, and the surrounding air also rose sharply, and the little faces of the roasted people were hot, and they had to retreat more than ten meters away.
The fire lasted for more than half an hour, and when the fire completely engulfed the entire side hall, the overall frame of the side hall collapsed violently.
With a 'boom' sound, the entire side hall completely collapsed, and the air wave caused by the collapse rushed to all sides, and a heat wave hit, and people who were too close even their hair and eyebrows were burned by this air wave.
Sparks and wood debris were splattered, and the scene was a mess.
After the overall frame of the side hall completely collapsed, it burned for about ten minutes, and there was a special smell in the air, not exactly the smell of burning wood, but also mixed with a ...... Like the smell of chemicals.
Zhao Yang guessed that eighty percent was mercury!
Because there is a large amount of mercury in the organs of the Genyuan Palace, it is not enough that the two side halls on both sides also have a large amount of mercury.
But these two side halls are about to be burned to ashes, and even if there are any traps and mercury, they are useless.
But at this moment, Zhao Yang also discovered a detail, in the crackling raging fire, there was a fire that burned very strangely, and the flames were swaying back and forth.
"Is it a meat dumpling?"
Zhao Yang subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
"Could it be that there are also zongzi in this side hall, and then they were burned by the fire, struggling in the flames, and there is a scene of this kind of fire shaking at this moment?"
Zhao Yang guessed in his heart, but it was just a guess!
Because the fire was so big, I couldn't see anything but the strange flames that felt shaking, and I didn't make any sound.
And it lasted less than five minutes, before it disappeared in the midst of the raging fire, and never again......
After about two hours, the fire gradually became smaller, and because it was all dry firewood, it burned quickly.
After the fire was completely extinguished, the original two majestic side halls were still in ruins after two fires, and there were many sparks, billowing white smoke!
All the traps were wiped out in this fire!
