Chapter 53: Dig From Here

Chu Tianlu scratched his head and said without concealment: "I really don't know much about this, I only know that many emperors in later generations will use this bureau as a false impression and deceive those tomb robbers with false mounds." ”

After speaking, Chu Tianlu didn't pay attention to Yang Lao and the others, picked up the compass and muttered slightly: "The sky is the sun, the hexagram, the yang, the sex, and the mountain." The earth is the moon, the kun hexagram, and the yin, and the sex is soft, and it is the ...... of the Sichuan"

Chu Tianlu recited the mantra in his mouth, looked at the twenty-four landscape directions on the compass, and didn't know where to start for a while, because the pointer on the compass didn't move at all.

When Chu Tianlu was concentrating on looking at the compass, the dumb turtle quietly came to his side and said to Chu Tianlu: "You got this compass from there, show it to me." ”

Chu Tianlu didn't think much about it, and reached out and handed the compass to the dumb turtle.

I didn't see what the dumb turtle did to the compass, and when he returned the compass to Chu Tianlu, something magical happened. The hands on the compass, which had been stationary, turned flexibly. This made Chu Tianlu ecstatic in his heart, but he forgot to ask the dumb turtle how he got the compass pointer around.

When Chu Tianlu recited the mantra again, he found that the place on the compass representing the position of the mountains and rivers was rapidly turning, representing the fifth layer of the twenty-four mountains, and the fourth layer representing the twenty-four heavenly stars, quickly rotating in the positive and negative directions. Finally, they slowly stopped, and the hands froze in one direction at the same time as they stopped. Chu Tianlu understood that this location was the place where the spiritual energy of the entire mountain was the most, and the ancient tomb they were looking for must be there.

After Chu Tianlu deliberated on the location of the surrounding sand protection trend hall one by one, confirmed the direction and led everyone to start descending the mountain.

This section of the road looked not far from the mountain, but by the time they reached the place, it took more than two hours.

The sun near noon brought an irritating heat, making everyone sweat a lot, and the nearby coastal humidity mixed with sweat, making everyone slimy and unspeakably uncomfortable.

Originally, according to Chu Tianlu's idea, he was looking around to see if he could find the thief hole left by the second uncle before, but he was rejected by Yang Lao and Qiu Yu, they thought that the place was too big, and it was not realistic to find a small hole. It's better to dig down directly, as long as it is the same tomb as them, there will naturally be clues to find when you go in.

Chu Tianlu raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, took out the compass, and after walking around, he roughly set a position, and let the loaches start digging.

Loach obviously followed the second uncle and them to do this business, and he was quite skilled, and he put the equipment that should be used one by one. Chu Tianlu had only heard from others before, and only then did he really see the tomb robbery artifact "Luoyang Shovel"

Yang Lao saw Chu Tianlu staring at the Luoyang shovel on the ground, and knew that he didn't know it, so he came over and explained to him: "This is the Luoyang shovel, and now the domestic archaeological community also uses this thing."

You see, the end of the Luoyang shovel is forged from metal, and its cross-section is exquisite, in the shape of a crescent. When using inertia, it is inserted into the soil, and then lifted upwards to bring it out of the soil, and according to the soil brought out by the shovel head, experienced people can judge whether there is a tomb here.

Generally speaking, where there are tombs, the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel is five-flower soil, while the soil brought out by the place where there is no tomb is raw soil. Obviously, Yang Lao is very familiar with this piece, and he said one thing after another, Chu Tianlu nodded when he heard it.

At this time, the loach had already picked up the Luoyang shovel, and Yang Lao took it from his hand and gave it to Chu Tianlu to demonstrate, which may have something to do with his occupation over the years.

Yang Lao explained while shoveling down: "We went to a new place, and after determining the general direction, the first hole we started to go down is also exquisite, and there is a scientific name called a hole view." That is to say......"

Yang Lao said while demonstrating, and hit the plum blossom point, this plum blossom point is simply to make a hole in each of the four corners of a meter square, and then hit a hole in the middle of the four holes, looking like a plum blossom. After Yang Lao finished it, he asked the loaches to spread out around as he had just hit.

Yang Lao followed behind the loach, and every time his shovel brought out the five-flower soil, he made a font size, and when the loach finished punching holes, Yang Lao also drew a topographic map of the tomb. According to Yang Lao's words, this is the basic skill of exploring ancient tombs, and the paintings on the top are basically the same as those below.

Through Elder Yang's explanation, Chu Tianlu wrote them down one by one, for him, a raw melon egg, what Elder Yang said was undoubtedly thousands of times stronger than his own blind groping.

In addition to Yang Lao and Qiu Yu, several people took turns to go into battle, and it took three or four hours to dig a robbery hole with a diameter of sixty or seventy centimeters and a depth of seven or eight meters.

Don't look at the loach short and fat, digging up the thief hole is a first-class good hand, when the excavated soil has gravel and fine sand, Chu Tianlu wanted to change him, but he refused, it seems that he is also in the stage of extreme excitement at the moment.

Chu Tianlu thought to himself: This is just right, taking advantage of Elder Yang's interest is quite high, and it is not bad to learn relevant knowledge from him.

"Bang Dang" came from the hole dug by the loach from a crisp crashing sound, judging from the sound, it should be the sound of the sapper shovel and the boulder.

At the same time, the dumb turtle grabbed the front of him and shouted, "Stop." Judging from his voice and movements, the sound must have reminded him of something, so he stopped it.

After hearing the dumb turtle's scolding, the loach quickly stopped the shovel in his hand and looked at him inexplicably. But he looked at the serious look on the dumb turtle's face, and he wanted to ask, but when it came to his mouth, he held it back.

The mute turtle motioned for the loach to come up and let him go down.

When Chu Tianlu and Yang Lao heard the sound, their hearts were shocked at the same time, and they hurriedly came to check on them.

Chu Tianlu's face was obviously much more excited than Yang Lao's, but when he saw the dumb turtle's actions, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart. He knew that the dumb turtle never screamed blindly, or it didn't move, and there must be a reason for it to move.

The dumb turtle went down the cave, carefully pulled the gravel and fine sand on the stones, and after a while he said: "It doesn't work here, this location is the top of the tomb, if these stone slabs are shaken, it is easy to collapse the stone slabs above the entire tomb, and the consequences are unpredictable." After speaking, the dumb turtle pointed to the empty space in front of him and said, "You can dig it from here." ”

"Hey!! I said dumb turtle, are you playing with your fat man? I've been digging for so long, and I've been here, so you said, I can't see that your kid is quite yin!! The loach obviously couldn't accept what the dumb turtle said, and said anxiously with a whisker and a glare. Speaking of which, you can't blame him, anyone will have such a rejection mentality, after digging for so long, it was finally dug up, and the dumb turtle gave a word equal to the previous effort in vain, not to mention that he contributed the most effort in this hole!!
