After a while, the old man walked down the slope with the compass, and as he walked, the old man looked up at the moon and used the compass to the sky.

The master was confused on the side, he couldn't understand that the moon was in the center of the sky, not in any direction of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and the compass was used to determine the direction, a reference without direction, how could it be compared with the compass?

Later, Xiao Laodao explained to my grandfather, but after explaining, let my grandfather be more cloudy, mountains and fog, Xiao Laodao said, the sky is dry, the earth is kun, the moon is yin, the sun is yang, the full moon is the extreme yin, the extreme yin is the yang, the sky, the moon, and the compass are the three yangs; The deceased in the tomb is one yin, the tomb is two yin, and the land is three yin, which is combined into the veins of the three yin.

What do you mean? The master didn't understand, and Xiao Laodao didn't seem to say why he could use the compass to compare the moon.

To get back to the point, the old man walked about twenty or thirty steps down the slope, stopped, stomped on the slope under his feet, and said to Xiao Laodao: "Dao Chief, the tomb door is below here, and opening the tomb door is the tomb road, but you need to be careful, there may be a mechanism inside." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, his face was full of indifference, "Old brother, just relax." Then he beckoned Xiao Chujiu, "Take the guy and dig down." Xiao Chujiu took out the guy, and the master dug it up with him.

Along the slope of the soil slope, the two of them dug less than four feet deep, and a straight adobe wall was exposed inside the slope, as if it had been built into the slope, and the Taiye and Xiao Chujiu expanded the area along the brick wall, and soon, a wall more than one person high was revealed.

At this time, Xiao Laodao came over with a torch, took a picture of the wall, and knocked the wall with the dust in his hand, and instructed Xiao Chujiu, "This is a two-layer brick wall, take out the sledgehammer, and within five or six strokes, it should be able to smash it open." ”

Xiao Chujiu agreed, took out a sledgehammer and was about to smash it, seeing this, Lao Yaofan hurriedly stopped him, and Lao Yaofan said cautiously: "Be careful that it's just a cave inside, don't use too much force, if the force is too great, the cave in the tomb may collapse." ”

Xiao Chujiu didn't say a word, nodded, and then picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it against the wall, "bang", and the entire dirt slope shook with a hammer.

The old man's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Little brother, you can't smash it, if it really collapses, we will come for nothing." ”

When Xiao Chujiu heard this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Laodao, as if he was asking Xiao Laodao what to do, Xiao Laodao came over and asked Lao Dao for food, "Old brother, since you can't smash it, and the wall is so hard, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Lao Yao hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't have any good ideas, but ...... But there is a stupid way, this wall is not buried in the soil, it always has an end, let's dig down, dig to the foundation, and then dig up. ”

Xiao Laodao nodded, "It's really a stupid method, it's laborious and laborious, but there's no good way to do it right now, so let's keep digging." ”

Tai Ye and Xiao Chujiu followed the wall, and then dug down, about two feet deep, the brick wall was gone, and the whole brick wall became loess, and then, several people first took out the soil, and then pulled out the adobe bricks one by one, and finally, the brick wall was completely elevated, and a big hole was dug out underneath. Xiao Chujiu picked up a sledgehammer and knocked lightly on the brick wall, and the entire brick wall collapsed downward.

At this time, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter that could have been solved with a few hammers had been tossed for so long a day, but the door at the entrance of the tomb was finally opened.

Everyone stood in front of the collapsed brick wall, Xiao Laodao held a torch and shone inside, everyone looked inside, and when they went down, they were caught off guard, and at the same time gasped!

I heard the old man shouting, "There are living creatures!" ”

Almost at the same time, the Taiye, Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Eleven, and the showgirl all showed their weapons, and saw a strange beast the size of a scalper standing in the tomb, with a tiger body, a lion tail, a dragon head, four sharp fangs showing their lips and palate, two eyes shining, and a posture ready to attack.

What kind of beast is this? The master had never seen it before, and he looked extremely nervous, but at this time, Xiao Laodao laughed, "Don't be afraid, this is a tomb beast used in the town tomb, and it is also used to scare tomb robbers, fake!" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at the beast carefully, but they didn't move, they still looked like they were dancing with their teeth and claws, Xiao Laodao said: "This is carved from wood, the body is wrapped in a layer of tiger skin, and the head is snake skin, these eyes are valuable, these are two night pearls, some timid, seeing the two eyes of the tomb beast glowing, they turned their heads and scared away." Saying that, Xiao Laodao tried it at the entrance of the tomb with a torch, "There is no wind, wait a while and then go in, come out of the dead air and enter the living air, when the living gas goes in, let's go in again." After speaking, Xiao Laodao calmly inserted the torch at the entrance of the tomb.

The old man was still a little frightened at this time, looked at the fierce and vicious tomb beast inside, and then looked at Xiao Laodao, and asked, "Dao Chief, this, this is really carved from wood?" ”

Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "It may also be carved in stone, if this is alive, buried in the tomb for so many years, if you don't suffocate to death, you have to starve to death." ”

The old man nodded and praised: "Daoist, you are really well-informed, if you had been in charge last time, we would not have been in the way." ”

Xiao Laodao said: "This is nothing, there are more tombs to dig, so naturally you know more, I think your feng shui is good, but unfortunately, the heat for digging the tomb is not enough." ”

Everyone waited at the entrance of the tomb to have about a bag of cigarettes, and the torch shook slightly, which showed that the tomb was alive, Xiao Laodao pulled out the torch, greeted everyone, and was the first to walk in.

Outside the cemetery, there were girls and old beggers who let off steam, and other people rushed in.

When the master walked to the tomb beast with a torch, Xiao Laodao had already pried out a night pearl from the tomb beast's eye socket, the bead was not big, slightly larger than a human eyeball, but it was shining under the torch, and it looked like an animal's eyes were reflecting.

The master looked around the tomb beast before and after, it was really the same as Xiao Laodao said, the tomb beast was wrapped in a layer of tiger skin, judging from the size, it should be two tiger skins pieced together, however, the tail is fake, it is a wooden stick, and it is wrapped with grass mane, which looks like a lion's tail.

After Xiao Laodao pried off the two night pearls, he beckoned everyone to continue walking inside, but after walking a few steps, Xiao Shiyi suddenly stopped, quickly pulled Xiao Laodao's clothes, and gestured to Xiao Laodao: Someone is talking to me.

Xiao Laodao was stunned, and the master could almost understand Xiao Shiyi's gestures at this time, and he was also stunned, Xiao Laodao asked, "Who talked to you?" ”

Xiao Shiyi gestured: I don't know, he told me that there is a mechanism in front.

"Got a trap?" Xiao Laodao's eyes widened, and he took a picture in front of the tomb with a torch, and after a while, Xiao Laodao was annoyed: "Hunting geese all day long, I was almost pecked by geese today, the common disease of tomb robbers, I was so happy that I forgot everything when I got two night pearls!" Then he turned his head and instructed Xiao Chujiu, "You go outside and get a few wall tiles." ”

The master also looked at the tomb in front of him with a torch, turned his head and said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, I can't see any mechanism in front of this." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled bitterly, "If you can see it, then it can still be called a mechanism." ”

After a while, Xiao Chujiu brought a few bricks, Xiao Laodao handed the torch in his hand to Xiao Shiyi, and took a brick from Xiao Chujiu's hand, but he picked it up and smashed it into the tomb in front of him, with a "bang", the wall bricks smashed on the ground, but nothing happened.

Xiao Laodao took another piece, smashed it again, and made another "bang", it was still nothing, but the master found that the place where he was hit seemed to be bounced.

When Xiao Laodao smashed out the third wall brick, there was a "poof" sound from the ground, and immediately after, a large black hole fell into the entire ground.

"Trap." Xiao Laodao asked for a torch from Xiao Shiyi's hand, and walked to the edge of the pit, and the master followed and walked over, and used the torch to shine into the pit, which could be a foot deep, and the bottom of the pit was densely filled with awl-like objects, but it may have been rotted and rusted over time.

I heard Xiao Laodao say: "This is a blade inserted upside down at the bottom of the pit, if you fall down, you will have to pierce your whole body into a hole, however, this kind of trap is rare in the Central Plains, and it can only be encountered on the mountains or dirt slopes." ”

The master glanced at Xiao Laodao and didn't speak, but Xiao Laodao continued: "If the Central Plains digs such a deep pit in the tomb, the water in the pit will already come out, and if the organ can't be distributed, the water will still pour back the tomb." ”

When the master heard this, he felt that Xiao Laodao was justifying his own negligence just now, so he looked at the pit and said, "Brother Xiao, now is not the time to explain this, you look at this pit, it has cut off our way, how to move forward." ”

The pit is one zhang deep, but it is more than one zhang long, and the tomb road is cut off like a cliff, and it is impossible to jump over.

Xiao Laodao smiled, "What else can I do, get a rope and go into the trap and pass through the trap." ”

Xiao Chujiu took off the rope on his body, threw one end into the trap, and nailed the other end into the grave above, and then several people pulled the rope down into the trap.

At the bottom of the pit, there are dense blades, each blade has a calf length, but it has already rotted, even if someone steps on the mechanism and falls, the blade will not hurt anyone. The grandfather and a few people knocked over these blades with a crowbar, carved a path, and walked to the other end of the pit.

The depth of one zhang, that is, three meters deep, for the master, this is nothing at all, run a few steps, jump up, easily climb up, and then, hit another rope into the ground, Xiao Laodao and a few people grabbed the rope and climbed out.
