After eight o'clock in the morning the next day, we drove to Sagayama.

As soon as I arrived at Mt. Saga, when I got off the bus, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere around me was a little different.

I really don't know what it is, but the faces of the people around me seem to be covered with a strange emotion.

Seem...... It's a little depressing.

Since Ning Wan'er had already introduced us yesterday, she didn't come here today.

The rat didn't greet us, and for a moment I didn't feel too embarrassed to go inside.

I grabbed a secret whistle and asked, "What about you rats?" ”

The secret sentry saw that it was us, and said, "The rat master is on the mountain, right next to the thief hole dug yesterday, you can go." ”

I looked at him and asked, "Did something happen?" Why do you all look so listless? ”

The man looked at me, his mouth opened and opened, but in the end he didn't say anything, judging by his reaction, this person should be a very gossipy person, but what caused his words to stop abruptly......

What exactly is he going to say?

I'm really confused, I just walked for one night, could it be that this Wen Tao's tomb is haunted?

I looked at the crowd and said, "Let's go, let's see." ”

We walked all the way, and hurried to the location of the cave where we had robbed before, and when we saw the Babel Rat sitting motionless on a rock.

We walked up to him and found that his mouse-like face was full of sadness.

My heart was cold, is it really haunted?

I asked, "Master Mouse, where are you singing?" Why are you worried here in the morning? ”

The Babel Rat must have been distracted just now, and he didn't notice our arrival at all, and as soon as I opened my mouth to speak, he was actually startled.

He looked at me with some humility, and then pouted his teeth.

I was really stunned and asked, "Master Mouse, what's going on?" ”

The Babel Mouse sighed and said, "Alas, that ...... I can't tell you clearly, you can go down to the grave and see for yourself. ”

My heart is cold, is it a robbery hole or a collapse of the cemetery?

Aren't we all in vain this time?

I hurriedly turned around, rushed into the thief cave without hesitation, and then walked through the passage to the end.

But I was surprised to find that what was in front of me was no longer the lifeless stone door of the tomb yesterday, but ...... Yellow sand in the eyes.

I couldn't help but mutter, "Sand? Where does the sand come from in this place? Could it be that the internal structure of Mt. Saga is made of sand? This is unbelievable......"

At this time, Dong Lao snorted lightly and said, "Hmph! Shopkeeper, this is not some naturally produced sand, this Wen Tao tomb, I'm afraid it's a sand hole. ”

I don't understand what Dong Lao said about the sand cave at all, is it a cave full of sand?

Actually, it doesn't matter, after all, there are too many things I don't understand, but what does Dong Lao mean by being obviously a little angry now?

Could it be that what I just said angered him?

I thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem to be wrong to say anything, and Dong Lao has always had something for me

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

With the general respect of the boss, he wouldn't be angry with me for no reason.

I asked tentatively, "What is this sand hole...... What's the explanation? ”

Dong Lao suddenly explained to me with a pleasant face: "Shopkeeper, in order to prevent theft in their tombs, the ancients would have many means, such as our common ones, including adding some hobs and falling stones, bows and crossbows in the tomb. But these are all measures after the tomb has been excavated, and there are also measures to prevent the tomb from being excavated. ”

I was stunned all of a sudden, there is a mechanism in this tomb, I have heard that this tomb has been discovered, and people are not allowed to dig it, how can this be done, after all, the hand is in the hands of tomb robbers, and people dig it or not, isn't it all by their own will?

Dong Lao smiled and said: "There are many ways to prevent theft and excavation, but no matter which one of them, the amount of work is very huge, and the financial resources of ordinary people are simply not enough to do it." For example, there is a kind of 'stone cave', which is to make a very thick layer of stone around the tomb, and then pour it with a liquid made of yellow mud or lime mixed with glutinous rice water, and wait until it dries up, and then backfill the sealed soil. ”

"Of course, this stone cave is only one of them, and the other is the one in front of you from the shopkeeper."

I answered, "You mean, this sand hole? ”

Dong Lao nodded and said, "Yes, it's this sand cave, the principle of this sand cave is roughly similar to that of the stone cave, except that the stone is replaced with sand." However, this approach is more secure, because the sand used in the sand cave is not the construction sand we usually see, and the sand we usually see can still be slightly formed by hand. The sand used in the sand cave is pure sand and fine sand, which cannot be held or condensed, and the mobility is very strong. The builders of the burial chamber used this sand to enclose the burial chamber, so that if any one place was stolen and excavated, the sand from other places would quickly flow over to fill the gaps, and you could dig as much as you wanted. ”

I couldn't help frowning, this is indeed a tricky thing, if this kind of fine sand is really so fluid, it will be like water, pervasive, the general tomb robbery gang, are two or three people acting together, just ask such a little labor, in the face of such a huge amount of sand, similar to not digging in, that can only be given up.

But what if there were enough grave robbers?

I said, "Isn't it just that if there are enough people, we can get all this sand out?" ”

Dong Lao said: "First of all, ordinary tomb robbers are small-scale operations, usually either cousins or uncles and nephews, so this combination does not have the ability to do this kind of thing. And there is also a kind of tomb robbery gang, similar to the organized tomb robbery of official thieves and Ning Shanyue, they do have the ability and so much labor to do this, but to take out all the sand this kind of thing, there are too many people to use, which is a big cost in itself, and it needs to be deducted from the benefits obtained from the tomb, which is a problem, in case the burial goods in it are not rich enough, in fact, it is not as cost-effective as digging a small and medium-sized tomb; In addition, the underground soil structure has been fixed for a long time, and at this time, all the sand is suddenly pulled out from the middle, and it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will change, and it may collapse

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Maybe, then it won't be a bamboo basket for water. ”

After listening to it, I felt that what Dong Lao said was extremely reasonable, and this time I was taught again, and I stepped forward, and this was already the edge of the slate.

Strangely enough, I didn't feel that palpitation today, and I was a little strange and leaned over and grabbed a handful of sand.

These sands are underground, somewhat moist due to the erosion of groundwater, but this does not affect their mobility, even if I hold them with my hands and do not flow out all at once as Dong Lao said, they will immediately disperse and fall when I let go of my hand.

I clapped my hands, got up and looked at the sand and said, "I didn't have this sand yesterday, why did it suddenly pop up today?" Is it ......?"

Dong Lao snorted again and said, "Just like you said yesterday, the shopkeeper, someone has come here to explore the way, I'm afraid they want to enter the tomb before us!" However, this person must have accidentally triggered the trap to cause the sand to pour out, and I guess there may be a corpse buried under the sand now. ”

I did say when I got back to the hotel yesterday that maybe someone would be in a hurry to come here and act first.

I muttered, "Sure enough, someone can't wait, Zhang Tianqi, Zhang Tianqi, you love to do these tricks...... That's not right......"

I suddenly remembered the gloom on the faces of these people I had just seen, the sadness on the faces of the rats, and the expressions on his faces that seemed to be a little afraid to face me.

Don't......

I turned around and walked backwards, angrily rushed out of the thief hole, walked to the side of the rat, and asked, "Lord rat, what do you mean by this?" ”

The rat was smoking, and when he heard me say this, he was so stunned that he forgot to play the ash of his cigarette, and he said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

I pointed to the cave and said, "What's the matter with all that sand?" Explain! ”

Tongtian Rat's eyes were a little dodgy, and he said: "Didn't I let you go and see it yourself, I don't know where it came from, so much sand blocked the passage, and I can't dig it clean, it's really unlucky." ”

I sneered and said, "Hmph, I don't know where it came from, I'm afraid that some people are too anxious, and the plank road is dark, and then the mechanism is triggered, right?" ”

I'm really very angry, we have already discussed with Ning Shanyue before, and after we came here yesterday, this Tongtian Rat first made three chapters of the Dharma to us, openly and secretly not letting us interfere with other Ming weapons. It's easy to say, after all, we're here for the gold leaf wooden box.

And now, he actually took advantage of our absence to want to dig Wen Tao's tomb by himself, if it wasn't for the triggering of the mechanism, he had to terminate the plan, I'm afraid the contents would have been emptied by now.

I have every reason to believe that when the time comes, he'll include some of the gold leaf boxes and tell us that he hasn't found anything.

Hehe, it's really good to see the king of Hades, the little ghost is difficult, this heavenly rat is really immoral.

Tongtian Mouse's body stiffened, presumably he also knew that we had seen through his actions, so he simply turned his heart sideways, tore his face and said: "Hmph, it was Lao Tzu who did it, what's wrong?" This is originally our family's things, all of them, why should we give them to you, just because you hook up with our eldest lady with a little white face? Hmph, I really don't know what Boss Ning thinks, how can he make a clear loss-making deal! ”
