"Since he's spoken, let's go down." Xiao Shirong, then, he turned to the people in the pit and shouted, "Keep digging!" ”

The people below took the order and began to dig very efficiently again.

But within a minute, the people below shouted, "It's here." ”

We hurriedly walked from the stone slab to the side of the pit, only to see that directly below the position of the stone monument just now, a hole was exposed, and the entrance of the cave was already large enough to accommodate a large one.

Xiao Shirong said to the bottom: "Very good, continue to dig," and pointed to the bracket that hung the stone slab just now, and said to a few subordinates above: "You guys prepare it, and you will use this thing to release people in a while." ”

The darkness and depth under that hollow, I stretched my neck and looked down to see nothing, it seems that the main burial chamber is not directly below this, could it be that this thief hole of the Xiao family has missed?

After a while, the empty hole was cleaned up into a round hole with a diameter of about one and a half meters by skilled tomb robbers, and then they all withdrew, looking at the big one, they not only wanted to let people go, but I am afraid that they wanted to loot all the large objects underneath, such as the huge Western Zhou Dynasty bronzes. But strangely, the space below seems to be larger than this hole.

Ye Linan looked at Xiao Shirong and asked, "Is it time to put candles below?" ”

Xiao Shirong nodded, and let people slowly put down a rope tied to a candle cage, and the scale could still be seen on the rope. The fire grew brighter and brighter, but it was never extinguished.

After a while, Xiao Shirong: "Fuck, it's actually more than fifty meters deep below, you guys make the rope a little longer." It's been on for a while, but there is plenty of oxygen, so don't worry about this. ”

So, Xiao Shirong asked his subordinates to put a rope on him, and he was about to go down.

I said to him, "Hey, why don't you let me go down first, I have better eyes than you." ”

He glanced at me: "Forget it, you can't settle down with anything." You will follow me in a moment. ”

Xiao Shirong is also a character, after he took the lamp, tied the rope around his waist, and entered the hole with his head down.

The person pulling the rope above slowly lowered him, Xiao Shirong lit the oil lamp, and the amount of light filled his area in an instant, I didn't expect the light to be so big. But when his lamp shone like this, I couldn't see what was underneath, so I could only follow him.

I had a vague feeling in my heart that there must be another very large and unusual tomb underneath. After all, it is a king-level tomb in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Jinshi team has not officially excavated one so far, and today, it is the first time I have opened my eyes.

Xiao Shirong's light line kept shrinking, until it finally turned into a beam of light at the bottom of the cave, and he didn't move.

The person pulling the rope above had a tacit understanding with him, or it could be that Xiao Shirong conveyed some kind of signal, the rope was slowly dragged up, and Xiao Shirong had stayed under the phosphorus.

The Xiao family pulling the rope: "Who's going down next?" Come and tie the rope, there is no danger underneath. ”

I volunteered to walk over, and the people of the Xiao family tied me with a rope, and I felt that I couldn't stand Xiao Shirong's head-down posture, so I was put down by them in a sitting position.

The exit slowly passed over my head, and I saw that around me was a square hole with neatly trimmed walls, indeed larger than the round hole that had been dug out of the top of my head.

Descending a little more, I saw a wide straight passage extending out in each of the four directions. According to the requirements of the ritual system of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, tombs like Dangong need four tomb roads, just like inserting a horizontal line in the middle of the Chinese characters. These early tombs are indeed much more rustic, without the bells and whistles of later frescoes.

Immediately, I was shocked, could it be that the Xiao family's detection team was so powerful? Did you really open the thief hole on the top of the tomb impartially?

As the position deepened, the air felt slightly cloudy, which may have been due to the slight increase in temperature, but it did not affect my breathing. Until I went down to Xiao Shirong, nothing changed.

Xiao Shirong put me down from the rope and pulled the rope three times, and the head received a reaction and began to pull the empty rope up.

I thought we would get to the coffin of the burial chamber without incident, but I was wrong, there was nothing around but a tunnel that seemed to lead deeper into the earth.

Xiao Shirong said to me: "When everyone else comes down, you go and sit and rest for a while." ”

I think it's just the two of us who can talk unscrupulously now, so I want to ask him what he is so secretive.

But when Xiao Shirong saw that I wanted to speak, he shook his head: "There is time for gossip, so you can do this well today and go to school to rest." ”

He's like this, and I can't help it. So the two of us fell silent at the bottom of the cave.

The people above came down one by one, first Ye Lin'an, then Buddha Hui, and then the Xiao family came down one by one, and some of them directly took a bus for two people, anyway, the space was more than enough.

Only the people who carried the wind and pulled the rope were left above, and a total of fifteen people from the Xiao family came down. I guess they are ready to light the tomb, in addition to the tool kit they carry with them, there is also a bag for stuff, fifteen people are estimated to be able to loot the tomb empty, I can't help but feel sorry for Dan Gong, but who let this unlucky artifact be here with him? Although fifteen people are all healed, but Xiao Shirong has only opened three tops, and I am afraid that we will be blinded if they are all opened in such a space.

Xiao Shirong counted the heads, and after instructing his subordinates to pay attention to safety in all aspects, he led the team towards the tunnel, and the three of us followed closely behind him.

This tunnel seems to be bent and spiraling downward, but after walking for a while, there will be a gentle straight road, if it is two or three times, there is a person in the Xiao family's team suddenly: "Zhi Pot, this is not right, which tomb is like this?" ”

Xiao Shirong scolded very harshly: "Rare and strange! Don't. ”

When the man was scolded like this, he was not honest, but pouted others: "I am for your own good, don't you believe it, ask the brothers, who has seen such a tomb before?" "Because of him like this, a few people really started to talk about it.

Xiao Shirong just scolded and didn't stop, but now he stopped, turned around and pointed at the man and scolded: "Love down, don't get down, if you don't want to eat this bowl of rice, go back and eat!" ”

When the man saw Xiao Shirong's appearance, although he was not convinced, he had some scruples, and he didn't say anything more, and the other people didn't talk about it anymore.

It seems that this gang of Rao is indeed not very good at dealing with Xiao Shirong, and I vaguely feel that the situation within the Xiao family may be more complicated. If it weren't for Xiao Shirong and his people in the tomb of Gaozu, we might not have those later incidents, and it is unknown whether it has been successful now, I can't help but sigh that creation makes people.

Xiao Shirong saw that they were calm, and he took a sip before he would stop.

As I continued walking, I felt a gentle breeze blowing on my face. I didn't know if I felt something was wrong, so I looked at Xiao Shirong's hair in front of me and noticed that there were a few hairs on the top of his head that were blown and swayed slightly.

That's very wrong, how can the wind blow from the inside to the outside? Or is it this constant breeze, is it possible that this place has been patronized by other tomb robbers? Opened another opening, so the convective wind was formed?

I wanted to tell Xiao Shirong, but after thinking about it, if those Xiao family members seized the opportunity to find trouble with Xiao Shirong, I still forgot it.

But not long after the breeze appeared, things changed - we caught a strange creature.

At first, Xiao Shirong walked in the front and didn't notice it, but I saw this unusual amount of light hanging on the wall of the tunnel. It has a very peculiar appearance, its body, wings and legs look like a fly, and it is about the same size. But the amount of light emitted around the body shows that it is not a fly, it may be a firefly, but the firefly does not emit purple light, right?

After I told Xiao Shirong, he asked his men to turn off all the lights. The amount of light of that thing is very obvious, like a purple light bulb.

How could there be such strange creatures in such a deep underground? We all felt that something was very wrong, and we couldn't help but raise our vigilance.

Only Xiao Shirong's nerves are relatively big, and the tunnel is not very high anyway, so he took it off as soon as he jumped a hug.

But after being held in Xiao Shirong's hand, its color suddenly dimmed, as if it was lifeless.

Xiao Shirong turned on the light again and found that it was not a bug, but a purple mineral crystal the size of a thumb cap, which might be a gem crystal.

He looked at us and asked, "What did you just look at him?" Am I hallucinating? ”

I shook my head: "No, you don't, it's it that has changed." ”

Xiao Shirong smiled: "Before entering the tomb, I encountered such an evil thing." Forget it, as long as you go back like this, you won't delay selling it. So he put it into the nearest Xiao Jiarao belt.

Who knew that as soon as the thing left Xiao Shirong's hand, it immediately glowed again and gave birth to wings, and flew out of the bag with a whoosh, rushing to the depths of the tunnel.
