Volume 1 Tanglin Tomb 14 The painting is a prison that is on fire, and the second underground floor escapes
The thin man took a deep breath and made another shovel, he pulled out the shovel tremblingly, and his face suddenly changed, he didn't expect to go so far this time, but he still didn't find the edge!
He looked to the other side, but he didn't expect it to be the same here, and the fat man shook his head at him helplessly.
The two returned to sit under the tree, each more depressed than the other. Just now, the two of them were already separated by hundreds of steps, but they were stunned that neither side had reached the end, so how big is the tomb underneath?
Although this Guo Pu is powerful, he is not an emperor and general after all, and he was born in troubled times, how can he have the ability to build such a big tomb? Besides, even if he has money, there's no need, right?
At a loss, the thin man suddenly said, "Could this be a means of preventing theft?" โ
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that? The fat man slapped his thigh and stood up, "There is no one who stipulates that where the rammed earth layer goes, the tomb must be obtained." This Guo Pu may be using the fixed thinking of tomb robbers to deliberately expand the scope of the rammed earth layer, so that we can't judge the structure of the tomb! โ
Old Man Qin nodded, "It's possible!" If ordinary tomb robbers come and dig down the rammed earth layer, but they can't dig anything, they will give up nine times out of ten. โ
The thin man said, "I can't judge the size and structure now, so let's dig the hole from the cave I just dug up." Since someone has gone in before, eighty percent of the bottom has not collapsed, even if the location is wrong, just look for a circle. โ
"Okay, listen to you!"
After determining the position, the fat man and the thin man rested for a while, and then went to play the thief hole.
Robbery holes are an important part of the process of robbing tombs, a good robbery hole, first of all, it must be small, too large is easy to attract attention, and it is not easy to deal with. Secondly, it must be firmly guarded and cannot collapse.
Digging a hole is not an ordinary digging hole, and it is also a technical job. It is said that a powerful tomb robber can make a hole several meters deep, and there is no accumulation of earth outside the cave, and it can be backfilled afterwards without leaving the slightest trace.
As for the Luoyang shovel, due to its special shape, the usage is also very different from the shovel. When playing the robbery hole, it is necessary to strictly follow the principle of three horizontal and three vertical and one oblique shovel, five lines and eight columns and one conversion, so that the robbery hole is the most solid and beautiful, even if it has been backfilled for decades, as long as there is no major geological change, the backfilled soil is dug up at will, and it can also be used again.
After the hole is built, the level of the person who made the hole can be judged according to the shovel marks left behind. As the saying goes, one product has two fish scales, and three is like a chess game with four chaotic needles. What the two of them typed was this product reticulation marks. As the name suggests, this kind of trace is like a reticulated pattern, all horizontal and vertical have been reinforced, as if a layer of net has been attached to the soil, and will not fall down the debris and debris, let alone collapse at will.
In addition to these, there is also a style of play that only exists in legends, called dragonfly satin. Because the action when hitting the robbery hole is like a dragonfly touching the water, so it is named. It is said that the hole made by this technique will eventually be as smooth as silk, like a natural one, and there will be no shovel marks to be seen. However, although the legend of this dragonfly satin has been around for a long time, no one has ever seen it, so it is probably groundless.
After the robbery hole was completed, Mu Chen thought that he would hurry down to the tomb at dawn, but he didn't expect that the two of them actually sat down to rest, especially the fat man, who was about to sleep by the roots of the tree, and it seemed that he didn't plan to act in a short time.
"When are we going to go to the grave?" Mu Chen asked Yan'er.
"Evening!"
"Why? Isn't the yin qi heavier at night? โ
"Their rules, it is unlucky to go to the tomb before the time!"
โยทยทยทยทยทยทโ Mu Chen was speechless, what kind of rule is this! Don't you just want to wait until everyone is asleep, afraid that people will see it, and there is no one in this barren mountain and wilderness, when will it be different?
It was two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its most poisonous, and the valley was empty, and there was no shelter, and the heads of the sun-burned people were a little dizzy.
Leng Ye looked up at the sun, "Anyway, the hole has been dug, why don't we go to the valley to have a cool time and come back at night?" โ
His words expressed Mu Chen's heart, although he was not so delicate, but there was no need to suffer from this senseless exposure.
Yan'er is a woman after all, and of course she doesn't want to be tanned, so she agrees very happily, "Okay!" โ
packed up his things and was about to leave, but Old Man Qin suddenly began to rummage through his bag, "This tree is unlucky, just about to leave, then burn it, and there will be an accident in the province." โ
Mu Chen nodded in his heart, this old man finally thought about it with himself once.
Old Man Qin took out a bottle of wine, sprinkled it on the roots of the tree, and then took out a lighter to light it. Who knows, at the moment when the lighter was lit, the air in front of Old Man Qin suddenly began to burn, and his beard was set on fire at once!
The air here should be mixed with flammable gas, and that little spark suddenly showed the trend of burning the prairies.
When everyone heard Old Man Qin's screams and turned their heads to look over, the fire was completely uncontrollable, and the entire tree had become a sea of fire, and it was spreading outward at a lightning speed.
Looking at the fire dragon that attacked with the power of thunder, Mu Chen shouted, "Go to the tomb!" Then he pulled out his legs and ran towards the thief hole.
Now, no one cares about any auspicious or unlucky anymore, including the fat and the thin, and they all run towards the thief hole. Even if there are man-eating zombies inside, it's better than being burned to death! The rope left over from the previous robbery hole was still there, but the situation was critical, and there was no time to climb at all, so everyone jumped down one by one.
Cold Night was the first to jump down, followed by Mu Chen. The thief hole and the space below are several meters deep, but fortunately, I picked it up in the cold night when I came down, otherwise even if I didn't break my leg, it would definitely not be better. Then there was Yan'er, she was good, and when she landed, she rolled and unloaded the force of the fall.
Because the fire spread so quickly, everyone was burned to a greater or lesser extent, but most of them were fine. Only the three members of the Qin family who came in last were more miserable, especially the old man Qin, except for his back protected by a backpack, all the others were basically burned and blistered.
After jumping down, Miss Qin hurriedly extinguished the fire on her body, took out a flashlight and a medical bag for Old Man Qin to treat his wounds.
Due to her late arrival, her clothes were burned a little badly, but she was so focused on Old Man Qin that she didn't notice that she was wearing very "revealing" clothes now. Mu Chen took out a short-sleeved shirt from her bag and handed it to her, and Miss Qin reacted at this time, and immediately blushed, and hurriedly put on her clothes.
The fat man sat on the ground, panting in horror. "Uncle, what's this called, I wanted to burn the tree, but I almost made myself a barbecue."
After making sure that one was not bad and everyone had come down, Yan'er began to investigate the environment.
Because of the bullshit rule of not going to the grave during the day, they only released a pigeon after the robbery hole at that time, making sure that it could breathe underneath and there was no danger, but they did not look closely at it otherwise.
After getting up and sweeping a big circle, Mu Chen muttered in his heart. This burial chamber is large, but it is empty, and there is nothing in it! Even if you have never robbed the tomb, basically everyone knows that each room in the tomb has its own unique function, even if the owner of the tomb is poor, he will more or less put some burial goods, and it is impossible to be completely empty.
But this burial chamber is not known for what happened, even if there are no burial goods, there is not even a decoration, the walls, the ground, and the ceiling are all bare masonry, and there is not even a permanent lamp, and I don't know what the purpose is.
What's even stranger is that this tomb has eight doors! The gap between the door and the wall is so small that it's hard to spot without looking closely.
Why is it eight? Mu Chen took out the Qimen Dunjia plate, it was easy to find the birth door, but how to open this door?
Everyone groped in the tomb for a while, and suddenly, I don't know who touched what, with a sound of the mechanism turning, everyone didn't react, the ground of the entire tomb suddenly flipped, from horizontal to vertical, and everyone fell down!
Mu Chen was slammed to the ground, and before he had time to see what the situation was, he quickly pushed out a wall horizontally, trying to divide the space that had become a rectangle again.
The position where Old Man Qin fell was just in the middle of the space, and seeing that he was about to be squeezed into meat sauce by the wall, Mu Chen didn't know where he got the strength, so he hurriedly pounced and dragged him over. This old man is amazing, but he can't just die!
At the moment when Old Man Qin's feet left, the wall was completely closed, completely isolating the space, and forcibly dividing them into two teams. In addition to Mu Chen, there are also three members of the Qin family, Leng Ye, Jiang Shan, Han Jinping and a big man named Tang Hong.
Mu Chen rubbed his buttocks, picked up a flashlight and shone it around. What is this operation? The two large apartments are divided into four lofts in minutes, and Guo Pu's thoughts are too trendy!
Although the thief cave is still there, it has dropped another level, and now it is almost ten meters away from the ground, and the rope left behind before has also been burned, and it is difficult to go up to the sky if you want to return the same way.
Just thinking about it, the burial chamber has changed again, and another wall has been pushed out of the sky, and the original four lofts have now become eight single rooms, and they can't go up at all.
"Miss, are you okay over there?" Jiang Shan lay on the wall and shouted loudly.
"It's alright, what about you?" Yan'er's voice came.
"We're fine here, but I can't find the mechanism, how can I open this?" I touched the country everywhere, but I still found nothing, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"I can't open it here, let's go separately, you protect Mr. Mu!"
The structure of the second floor is the same as that of the first floor, with eight doors. But of course, there are only two doors that are assigned to Mu Chen's space now, namely the Du Gate located in the Xun Palace and the Wounded Gate of the Zhen Palace.
The doors were all opened just as the mechanism was operational, and the passage behind it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Jiang Shan looked at Mu Chen, "Mr. Mu, which door do we take?" โ
Mu Chen thought for a while, "Hurt the door!" โ
"The wounded door is one of the three fierce gates, why don't you go to Zhongping's Dumen?" Qin Gongzi asked.
