Chapter 17: Fighting the Thief Hole
"It's not difficult to get around this steel stone door by breaking through the thief hole, but it takes time, and our time is running out!" I said slowly.
Hong Zhaohai saw that I was embarrassed, and he said in a firm tone: "Master Jiang, you only need to draw a path, and leave the rest to me!" ”
I nodded at Hong Zhaohai and didn't speak. I took out the ancestral compass I had with me from my treasure bag, held it in the palm of my hand, and then moved back and forth around the stainless steel stone door.
According to my preliminary judgment, behind the stainless steel stone door, there should be an entrance, and behind the entrance, is the main hall of the underground palace! The coffin of the owner of the tomb is generally placed in the apse at the back of the main hall.
After careful research, finally, I demarcated a spot in the corner next to the diamond door.
After I demarcated the location, Hong Zhaohai didn't say a word, carried a small pickaxe, carried an ordnance shovel, and walked over.
I have to admit that Hong Zhaohai is really not casually talking about the hole in the mountain, I saw the small pickaxe he was holding in his hand, as if it was installed with an electric motor, constantly flying up and down, and after a while, he dug a standard circular hole with a diameter of less than one meter in the ground.
Time passed minute by minute, the hole was dug deeper and deeper, I assembled two Luoyang shovels, and probed the Luoyang shovel into the hole, Hong Zhaohai dug down more than two meters in one breath.
"Zhaohai, the depth is enough, don't continue to dig down, change the direction, and go deeper laterally." I disassembled the Luoyang shovel again, and then reminded Hong Zhaohai.
Wang Yueban saw fine beads of sweat oozing from Hong Zhaohai's forehead, and he couldn't help but say to Hong Zhaohai: "Zhaozi, you come up and rest, smoke a bag of cigarettes, take a breath, I'll go down and dig for you for a while!" ”
Hong Zhaohai stood in the hole in the ground, straightened his waist, looked up at Wang Yueban, and said to him angrily: "Yuezi, I've known you for so long, this is the first time I've heard you speak to people!" What are you waiting for, hurry down! ”
At the critical moment, Wang Yueban was not ambiguous, tiptoe to the ground, and jumped into the hole.
"The thickness of this Jinggang stone gate is about one meter and five to two meters, so when you go deep horizontally, you don't need to dig too deep, dig two or three meters, it's enough!" I reminded Hong Zhaohai and Wang Yueban.
When two people work together, the speed is significantly faster than when they are alone. After a while, Hong Zhaohai and Wang Yueban disappeared into the cave.
Xue Ya laid a moisture-proof mat on the ground next to the cave, and then invited me to come over and sit on the moisture-proof mat to recharge together.
Xue Ya and I sat on the moisture-proof mat, relatively speechless, people in a state of high tension and exhaustion, will not think about things related to the seven emotions and six desires, like ordinary animals, no different.
I leaned my back against the stainless steel stone door, so that the tense nerves and muscles of the whole body tried to relax as much as possible, when the body is most relaxed, it is especially easy to fall asleep, and before I know it, I gradually fell asleep.
I don't know how long it has been, but I felt a cool breeze that was cold and damp blowing on my face, and I couldn't help but shiver all over my body, and I woke up suddenly.
It didn't matter when I woke up, I was shocked to find that I was curled up on a large cold stone slab, and it was pitch black all around, and it was a deathly silence.
"Xueya, Xueya, Xueya?" I whispered into the darkness.
There was a deathly silence all around, and there was no response except for my call.
"Half a month! Wang Yue and a half! Half a month...... Zhaohai? "No matter whose name I call, I don't get a response.
I struggled to get up from the ground, probably having slept for too long in the cold and damp environment, and at this moment, I only felt top-heavy and dizzy.
I reached out from the treasure bag around my waist and pulled out a pocket-sized flashlight. With the white light from the bright flashlight, I carefully observed the environment in front of me.
This observation doesn't matter, I can't help but gasp! I was shocked to find that at this moment, I was standing in the main hall of the underground palace.
In the center of the main hall, several bronze chains thicker than my arm, wrapped around a huge bronze coffin, hung in the air of the main hall.
On the ground below the bronze coffin, rows of samurai figurines stood upright. Holding a flashlight in my hand, I scanned the bodies of these warrior figurines, and I found that these warrior figurines, whether it was the size of the various parts of the body or the facial expressions, were all exactly the same as real people.
These warrior figurines, without a doubt, should be the legendary coffin slaves! The ancients paid attention to what it was like to die, what it was like when they were alive, and what they were like when they were alive after death.
The most important duty of these warrior figurines guarding the coffin slave is to guard the coffin of the master and protect the safety of the master!
I held a bright flashlight, and with the white light from the bright light of the bright flashlight, I carefully observed the bronze coffin hanging in mid-air.
The shape of this bronze coffin is a little weird, and it is different from all the bronze coffins I have seen before! From a distance, the shape of this bronze coffin looks like a huge silkworm cocoon.
Looking closer, I found that there were several dragons with teeth and claws carved on this bronze coffin! The dragon engraved on the bronze coffin is vivid and lifelike, as if it is about to take off at any time.
In ancient times, there was a strict hierarchy, and the dragon represented the Son of Heaven and the emperor! Master Zu once said that once the dragon element appears in the tomb, it must be a royal mausoleum, and at least it must be the tomb of a prince and nobleman.
Looking at the scale of this underground palace, and then looking at the ornamentation on this bronze coffin, it is obvious that this should be a royal mausoleum.
Holding a flashlight, I slowly moved my steps and came to the bottom of the bronze coffin.
It is quite difficult to get close to this bronze hanging coffin, and the bronze coffin is at least five meters above the ground.
I reached into the treasure bag I carried with me and fumbled for a while, and pulled out the flying claws from the treasure bag!
The chains that hung the bronze coffin were thicker than my arm, and it was almost impossible to break them and let the bronze coffin fall to the ground. Therefore, if you want to touch this bronze coffin, you can only climb up little by little with the help of flying claws.
Flying claws, like the King Kong umbrella and Luoyang shovel, are indispensable tools to carry around. The flying claw consists of two parts, the first is a steel hook cast from high-quality stainless steel, and the second part is a rope.
The rope connecting the steel hook is not an ordinary rope, the rope made of Kevlar material is commonly used, and the rope may also be added to the wire in the process of weaving! Therefore, such a rope is very tough, and the safety factor is very high during use!
