Thousand-Handed Monkey's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Xiao, have you found a way?" ”

Xiao Laodao nodded confidently, "However, we need to prepare a lot of things, especially sesame oil ......"

At night, after dinner, everyone gathered together in the cave, and Xiao Laodao said the way he thought of it.

After hearing this, the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" showed an incredible face, and asked Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, can this be done?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "I have encountered such a handwritten tomb for the first time, I have only seen a stone seal in the past, and the stone is twisted out with a winch, this time it is actually a square stone, however, the law is not separated from its sect, let's change the way slightly, although it is a little troublesome, it can still be done!" Xiao Laodao was full of confidence and assigned tasks to everyone.

Early the next morning, according to Xiao Laodao's arrangement, some went to the mountain to purchase items, and some stayed on the mountain to make preparations.

The Taiye and Hou Yi, the second son of Xiao Twelve and the Thousand-Handed Monkey, stayed on the mountain, while Xiao Laodao and all of them went out to the mountain to purchase goods.

What did Xiao Laodao do when he left the three of them, first, looking for Chai He, as much as he could; Second, make two inclined ditches outside the tomb entrance, the closer to the cave entrance as possible, the distance between the two inclined ditches is one foot far and two feet deep, and the inclined ditch extends outward from the direction of the cave entrance; Thirdly, cut down five or six trees, at least one circle thicker than a human leg, about three feet higher than the entrance of the cave, and must be of hard wood.

When the master dug the ditch, cut the tree, and dragged the branches to the entrance of the tomb to make firewood, it was already five days later, but Xiao Laodao and several people still did not return.

After waiting for ten days, Xiao Laodao and a few people finally returned, everyone was a bundle of thick ropes, an oil jar, and this was not over, after putting down the items, they went out again, this time, Xiao Laodao and the "thousand-handed monkey" stayed, and the master and these people went out of the mountain.

When they came to the small village outside the mountain, there were still some objects they purchased from outside the mountain, all of which were some iron tools, hooks, chisels, iron chains, etc.

The master was puzzled, so he asked Xiao Shiyi privately, what should your master do when he prepares so many things? Xiao Shiyi gestured and said that he wanted to pull out the boulder in the tomb. When the master heard this, he couldn't figure it out, a boulder was at least a thousand catties, how could he pull it?

When the master returned to the mountain, Xiao Laodao and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" were not idle, and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" relied on a pair of skillful hands to dig out two fist-sized holes at the bottom of the boulder, the middle of the two holes was empty, and the iron chain passed through the middle of the two holes, like a nose ring. The master understood at a glance that this was to tie a rope to the iron chain and pull the boulder out.

After everything was ready, Xiao Laodao asked everyone to put the cut wooden stakes in the inclined ditch dug at the entrance of the tomb, and then pulled out a thick straw rope one by one, and used this rope to tie countless rope knots, one end to the stake outside, and the other end to the iron chain of the boulder in the cave.

Then, another rope is taken out and tied to the position of the stake a little higher, at this time, a lever principle is formed. As soon as you pull this rope, the stake will tip outward, dragging the rope inside and pulling the boulder out of the tombway.

There was another stake next to the stake, and a rope was tied to it, but the other end of the rope was not tied to anything, and it looked like it was a spare.

Xiao Laodao asked everyone to pull the rope outside to try, several people pulled the rope and exerted force at the same time, the wooden stake was actually straight and straight, standing motionless, the two ropes inside and outside were stretched straight, but the boulder inside did not move at all.

Seeing this, the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" looked like he was about to cry, because it had taken nearly twenty days to prepare these objects alone, and the deadline for his bet was not far off.

"Xiao Lao Dao, you are doing this...... I'm afraid it won't work! ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand and said, "We just gave it a try, and the real one hasn't started yet." As soon as he turned around, Xiao Laodao instructed Xiao Shiyi or Three, "Light the fire on the stove and pour sesame oil into the pot." ”

He also instructed the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" and the grandfather, "You all come with me inside." ”

The master followed Xiao Laodao into the tomb, Xiao Laodao pointed to the boulder, and said to the "thousand-handed monkey": "Does the old brother have a way to pry this stone up?" ”

"Thousand-Handed Monkey" didn't even look at it, "It's easy to pry it up, but how can we pull it out?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "You can pry it up, as long as you can pry it up, you can do it, and you don't care about the rest of it." ”

The "thousand-handed monkey" will be suspicious, use the chisel on the ground under the boulder, make a hole the size of a fist, and then, the crowbar is stretched in, and a stone is placed under the crowbar, beckoning his son and nephew, and the father and son press the crowbar together, and at the same time, the boulder is really pried up by them.

Xiao Laodao was overjoyed when he saw this, "Okay, find an object to hold on, and take back the crowbar." ”

The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" was puzzled, "Xiao Laodao, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled: "What to do, you will understand later." ”

A few people left the tomb and came outside, and at this time, Xiao Shiyi and the three had already lit the stove, and the sesame oil in the pot was also steaming.

After waiting for a while, the sesame oil rolled up, and Xiao Laodao hurriedly beckoned Xiao Shiyi and the three, "Scoop up the hot oil and splash it into the crack under the boulder." ”

Xiao Shiyi and the three moved very quickly at this time, scooped up a spoonful of oil with the prepared large oil, and quickly walked into the tomb.

The father and son of the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" looked at each other, and Xiao Laodao explained to them with a smile: "Do you know why we couldn't pull the boulder just now?" ”

"Thousand-handed Monkey" shook his head, and Xiao Laodao said: "Because when the boulder was pushed and entered the tomb, the ground was smeared with sesame oil and gypsum, and it was very light and slippery to push, but after a long time, the sesame oil and gypsum were mixed together, and it became very viscous and thick, and the boulder and the ground were read together. ”

When the Thousand-Handed Monkey heard this, he said, "When we broke the boulder before, we didn't see any plaster on the ground. ”

Xiao Laodao said: "That's because you didn't pay attention, when you broke the boulder, the stone chips were mixed with those sesame oil gypsum, and you couldn't see what it was. ”

As soon as Xiao Lao Dao said this, the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" seemed to have an understanding, and nodded with admiration on his face, "Brother Xiao is really well-informed." ”

"It's not that I'm well-informed, it's just that I've dug too many graves, and if I were the owner of the tomb here, I'd do it!" Xiao Laodao paused for a moment, and then said: "Splash a few spoonfuls of hot oil into the cracks, as soon as the previous sesame oil and gypsum encounter heat, they will melt away and become as light and slippery as before, if the old brother doesn't believe it, after pouring the oil, let's pull the rope again." ”

After a while, half a pot of sesame oil was poured in, Xiao Laodao hurriedly asked Xiao Shiyi and them to stop, and then, he took a broom himself, scooped a spoonful of sesame oil, and wiped the bottom of the entire tomb from the inside out, wiping it slippery without leaving his hands.

After Xiao Laodao came out, he immediately beckoned everyone, "Pull the rope again!" ”

This time, the nine people didn't have much effort, and the boulder inside slowly moved, and everyone was overjoyed, pulling the rope little by little to overturn the standing stake.

At this time, the question arises, how can the rope be untied after it is overturned, and it is tied to the rope when the stake is erected?

At this time, the spare stake next to it had an effect, and two ropes were also tied to this spare stake.

Eight people pressed the original stake, freed up one person, and tied the body on the other stake to the rope of the first stake, the rope on the first stake, and pulled a lot of rope buckles before, and there were many hooks on the rope buckle, and with the second upper rope, tied the hook on the first rope, and put the second stake against the entrance of the tomb, at this time, everyone slowly relaxed the first stake, the second stake, and quickly pulled the boulder inside, so as not to let it fall backwards.

Everyone quickly lifted the first stake, untied the rope, and then tied the rope to the stake, and after the tie was done, they pulled the rope together, which means that the first stake is responsible for pulling outward, and the second stake is responsible for fixing the pulled boulder, so that everyone can slowly pour the rope.

After repeating this several times, the boulder was finally pulled out of the tomb, and the moment it came out, the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" was so excited that he almost didn't call out, "Brother Xiao, your method seems clumsy, but it is very effective!" ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand again and again, "Compared with your brother, I am far behind, I only have this kind of stupid way to consume energy." ”

"Can this be dumber than a few of us smashing rocks?" After the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Pushing away the pulled out stone, everyone entered the tomb to see that there was still a huge stone blocking the way at the bottom of the cave, and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" couldn't help frowning, "How many stones are there in this tomb." ”

Xiao Laodao said thoughtfully: "You broke three pieces before, let's pull out another piece, here...... There are four more pieces at most, and the emperors of the previous dynasties have always respected nine, but this is not the emperor's tomb, and they will never dare to use nine as a number. ”

The Thousand-Handed Monkey nodded, "Brother Xiao said so, we still have a few days." ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at him, "It takes a few more days, it's better than a few months, anyway, this place is deserted, and no matter how we toss, we won't be discovered." ”

To pull out a boulder, you first have to make holes in it, which is the most time-consuming, and these boulders are so hard that the holes are very difficult to punch.

It took nearly a day for several people to take turns to fight, so you can imagine how difficult it was for the "Thousand-Hand Monkey" to break the boulders one by one before.

After another six days, the tomb was finally opened, and as Xiao Laodao speculated, there were still four boulders inside.

When everyone pulled out all the boulders and walked in to take a look, they were a little dumbfounded......
