"Even if you don't care about other people's lives, you should always care about yourself!" As soon as the words came out, Mu Chen understood. The things in this tomb are what Yan'er, or the organization behind her, wants to get at all costs. Therefore, even if you say that you will go to the sky, this tomb will still go down.

"Don't worry, there is a cold night, nothing will happen." Yan'er's smile was very warm, but Mu Chen's heart was still cold.

"The tomb is in this valley, and you can look for it in the flattest place in the middle."

The middle of this valley is very strange, there are many gravel in the mountains, but there is not a single stone in this area, and the ground is clean, as if it has been specially cleaned. Only in the middle was a dead giant tree, standing alone.

The shape of this tree is very strange, the trunk is twisted, the roots are intertwined, and the branches are like ghost hands, stretching out sharp claws to grasp in all directions. After looking at it for a long time, I even felt that the tree as a whole was like an unyielding ghost, shouting loudly with a long mouth.

I don't know how many years this tree has lived, and its branches are so thick that it takes two or three people to hug them. This kind of place is already full of dead air and thin life, and it is not easy for this tree to grow so big.

"This, is this a locust tree? Damn, it's the first time I've seen such a thick locust tree! Leng Ye jumped up to the tree, saw Mu Chen was looking up, his face was full of worry, and jumped down again, "Don't worry, wait for the tomb, my brother will cover you, and I will make sure that nothing happens to you!" ”

Mu Chen sighed, Huai, Wood Ghost, Ominous Tree! If he is born on his own grave, he is turned into resentment. Take the essence of the sun and the moon, absorb the yin and poison of the corpse, attract the past Gangfeng, and block the rootless heavenly water. If you are over three hundred years old, you will be a spirit. Golden thunder falls from the sky, splits it or dies, the soul returns to the earth, the body is silt, and there is nothingness; or stiff, incorruptible and immortal, dead on the outside and born on the inside, waiting for the time to move; or prisoner, the qi veins are restricted, the roots and leaves reach, and the ground is drawn as a prison; Or Wang, borrowing thunder to refine the body, gaining the Tao and going crazy, causing trouble.

The locust tree had been clearly struck by lightning, and visible burns could be seen on it. The crack that slashed from the top to the waist of the tree made the revenant look like it had been torn in half, making it even more terrifying.

Since it is not dead or prosperous, it should be stiff or imprisoned. If it's stiff, it's okay, if it's a prisoner, then now that these people are standing under a tree, isn't it equivalent to going to a prison and can only be slaughtered?

For the words of these gods and ghosts, Mu Chen had always laughed and passed by before, and never took it to heart. But today, after coming here, this passage that I don't know how many years ago suddenly appeared so clearly in my mind.

Mu Chen shook his head, what's wrong with him, dead people turn into zombies, whether it's bioelectricity, bacteria, viruses or something, it's always easy to understand. In this blue sky and white day, if even a tree can come out to be a demon, then it is really a ghost.

Anyway, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless no matter what, Mu Chen simply didn't think about it, and went to see the fat man and the thin man looking for the grave.

Although they used feng shui to see that the tomb was in this area, the specific location had to be determined by their professionals.

The fat man and the thin man chose a point and began to install the Luoyang shovel, preparing to take a look at the soil with the next shovel.

In the past, due to the limitation of technical level, Luoyang shovel is basically made of fine iron, very cumbersome, a set down dozens of catties, even hundreds of catties, and divided into many sections, very inconvenient to carry.

And they use a modified one, the whole is much thinner, greatly reducing the weight, and it is a card slot section design, no need to divide so many roots, one person can bring a complete set. Although it is thinner, it is harder than ever due to the advancement of materials. The shovel head is sharper, which can save a lot of effort when hitting the hole. The curvature is also adjusted almost perfectly, with good soil, and will not fall off seriously.

Mu Chen had never seen tomb robbers before, and he was very interested in the legend of their four methods of "looking, hearing, asking, and cutting". It is said that those very powerful tomb robbers do not need to look, just by smelling, they can smell the subtle difference between the Qin tomb and the Han tomb, and it is rumored that they can even smell whether the tomb has been stolen.

Due to the mystery of the profession of tomb robbing, these methods have long been rumored to be miraculous, but in fact, the reason is also very simple.

When the ancient tombs were made, they did not use ordinary clay, but mostly made of charcoal, white plaster mud, and lime mixed in a certain proportion of the triple clay, and sometimes for a specific purpose, it was mixed with other things. The soil is wrapped around the tomb, from the bottom up, from the inside to the outside, layer by layer, backfilled, tamped, and protected from moisture and groundwater. Later, it became a grave pin, where there is rammed earth, there is an ancient tomb.

In addition, due to the prevalence of the idea of alchemy and immortality in ancient times, in some specific periods, such as the Wei and Jin dynasties, the ancient tombs sometimes used cinnabar, stone gall, realgar, alum stone, magnet, stone and other toxic gold and stone things. The smell of these things also permeates the dirt. Therefore, the taste of the soil will be somewhat different in different periods, which can be used as a basis for identification.

In addition to soil, sometimes Luoyang shovel will also bring out wood chips, brick chips, etc. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, most of the tomb roofs are made of seven horizontal, seven vertical and fourteen layers of special blue bricks, which are also helpful to identify the age.

As for how to tell if the tomb has been stolen, it may be that the smell in the tomb changes after ventilation, which spreads to the soil.

However, although everyone can understand the truth, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment. In addition to hard work, it is necessary to have amazing talent.

Here, the thin man has already begun to hit the Luoyang shovel. He was thin and small, but at this moment, he didn't know where the brute strength came from, and he didn't let the fat man help, and he beat the Luoyang shovel several meters long by himself, and pulled it out again.

Mu Chen was a little stunned, this thin man looked sickly, as if he had been in bed for seven or eight years, and he didn't know if he had a hundred pounds, why was his physical strength so good? If this fights, he really doesn't have to be his opponent.

The thin man twisted a handful of soil, put it under his nose and sniffed it, "Yes, it is indeed the tomb of Jin, but someone has entered this tomb before!" ”

"Someone has been in! I don't know what Miss Yan'er is looking for, and it's still in it. The fat man said.

"Whether you're there or not, just go in and see." Yan'er smiled, not at all worried.

"Then our previous agreement, does it still count?"

"Nature counts!"

Now Mu Chen is a little depressed, is he too cowardly, or are these people too bold? Knowing that it is the land of the four murders, there is no return, but there are still so many people lining up, isn't this rushing to send them to death?

In addition to being depressed, Mu Chen was even more worried, this place was already so dangerous, if there were a few corpses of tomb robbers, wouldn't it be ·····

After determining the age, the next step is to explore the shovel and determine the holes!

The so-called exploration shovel is to use the Luoyang shovel to make multiple holes in a row to frame the general outline of the tomb. Then, according to the outline, the layout of the tomb is judged to find the best location for the robbery hole. Many tombs, especially those that are old, collapse for various reasons, burying everything in the earth. At this time, the location of the thief cave is more strict, because once it goes down, it can no longer move significantly. It is said that a powerful tomb robber can directly hit the robbery hole next to the coffin of the tomb owner, and it is close to the side of the head!

Although it is not as difficult as finding the location of the thief hole, it is also a technical job. The cavern that can really be used to judge the pattern requires an error of no more than three inches from the edge of the rammed earth layer. Otherwise, if you miss a thousand miles, you won't know where the thief hole is in the end.

In ancient times, due to the limitation of manpower and material resources, except for the princes, the tombs of other people were generally not particularly large, and they could basically be framed by a dozen caverns.

The fat man and the thin man were busy digging holes, and the others were idle, so they all leaned against the tree to rest, Mu Chen always felt unsteady, so he sat a little farther away from the tree.

This kid in the cold night, I don't know if the other people in the team are unwilling to deal with him, and he can't sit still, so he likes to pester Mu Chen, and he also sits down.

"Alas, what did you mean when you said earlier that this is the place of the four evils, Xuanwu rejecting corpses or something? I've seen a lot here, why can't I see anything? ”

“······” Mu Chen rolled his eyes, if you see it, you will see the hell.

Seeing that Mu Chen ignored him, Leng Ye changed the topic, "I see that they have a hole on the left and a hole on the right, it seems to be quite fun, why don't we go and fight one too?" ”

"Go yourself, I'm not interested." Mu Chen said in his heart, it's strange to make trouble at this time, not to be killed.

At this time, Miss Qin walked over. Due to the inheritance of Old Man Qin, although this Miss Qin's appearance is not ugly, she is also extremely ordinary, she doesn't like to talk much, she seems to be a transparent person in the team, Mu Chen really didn't notice her much before.

"Mr. Mu, Brother Leng, this is the glutinous rice wine I brought from home, do you want to taste it?" She smiled sweetly, simple and simple, with the feeling of a girl next door, in stark contrast to the woman Yan'er.

Mu Chen savored these two titles, she seemed to be more familiar with Leng Ye. If she looked closely, the way she looked at the cold night was not the same as when she looked at herself. But also, although Leng Ye has a strong personality, he doesn't say anything about his appearance, he can directly debut as a star, and it is really difficult for a girl not to be tempted when she sees him.

"Thanks, I don't drink." Mu Chen smiled back politely.

As soon as Leng Ye heard that there was wine, he immediately took it, "Then Miss Xie Qin!" ”

Here, everyone is talking and laughing, enjoying this rare leisure time. Over there, the brows of the fat and thin men were twisted.

The two of them explored in two opposite directions, at first the distance was smaller, and then the distance between each became larger and larger, but the two of them combined hit a dozen in a row, but still did not find the edge.

The two turned their heads to look at each other, and both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes. They each walked a long distance, and if they couldn't find the edge this time, then this tomb would be completely out of control!
