After Master Liu escaped, he did not give up. He rested for three days, and after the yang energy was restored, he took the compass to survey the open space in front of the demolished building. In one place, he found that the needle of the compass was trembling, indicating that the negative magnetic field in this place was strong, and it was very likely that the entrance and exit of the ghost building were located, and he marked this place.

Master Liu guessed that there must be a famous hall in the underground where the ghost building is located, otherwise it would be impossible for the ghost building to be invisible in the real world. In order to detect the secrets of the underground of the ghost building, Master Liu found a partner, Guo Xiong. He is one of the people who was locked up in the ghost building by the pyramid scheme, he is young and bold, and he hit it off with Master Liu and is willing to explore the secrets of the ghost building with him. Hu Kehao is busy with work, and he disdains to do these things that steal chickens and dogs, and because of the nature of his work, it is inconvenient to intervene in these strange things, so Master Liu did not call him.

Although the place where the ghost building is located is remote and there are usually no people, Master Liu and Guo Xiong still dare not dig the ground in a big way during the day. In the evening, Master Liu came to the ground of the ghost building with shovels, shovels, hoes, hammers, chisels, and hammers. In our hometown, the farmer's uncle used chisels to make red rice cellars. This chisel is actually a long and thickened iron nail, holding the chisel in the left hand and striking it vigorously with an iron hammer in the right hand, you can powder the stone and dig out the cellar or well, and the degree of hardship and effort can be imagined.

In the countryside, there is an ancient profession called stonemasonry, and they use the chisel tool very well. When you go to the countryside or some scenic spots, you can often see stone stairs, and there are many grooves on the stone stairs, which are hammered out by stonemasons with chisels, at least in our hometown. In the case of slate-walled houses in the countryside, the stone slabs need to be built up tightly, and the stonemasons also need to work the stones with simple and primitive tools. In the stone mill in the countryside, there is a groove between the grinding disc and the grinding disc, and the stonemason also needs to hammer it out with a chisel, so as to increase the bite force between the grinding discs and grind things. Canals, wells, tanks, nests and other things in the countryside are inseparable from stonemasons.

Some stonemasons have a way of doing things. It is said that if a stonemason carves a person on the stone of a certain family, the family will be haunted or things will not go well, and various accidents will occur. In the face of ever-changing science and technology, in the face of modern industry, the profession of stonemason is said to be about to disappear, I don't know whether to celebrate the progress of science and technology? Or should we mourn the demise of an ancient profession?

Master Liu had worked in the Red Lotus Cellar in his hometown, and he had no experience in robbing tombs and digging pits. The red lotus cellar is nothing more than making a hole in the stone and storing the red lotus inside. Some farmers have a lot of red roots, and they need to eat them for a year, and the red roots in the cellar may rot. Experienced farmers smoke the cellar with something like cypress or chili pepper before filling it with red weed. Of course, cypress can also smoke bacon, which tastes good, although some people are not used to smoking.

Master Liu also played Shanmao Division in his hometown. In our hometown, the latrine is often called the thatched latrine. The mountain mouth is a manure pit that is beaten on the mountain. At present, much of the land in the countryside has been barren, and young and old people rarely grow crops at home. However, in the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century, that is, in my childhood, the land was very precious, and people had to make crops in the fields, on the arid and barren slopes.

We all know that when water flows low, crops on slopes will be starved of water and will grow poorly. In order to increase the harvest, the farmer needs to carry water and manure from his home uphill to make crops. At that time, not only the hard-working men had to carry dung uphill, but also women and girls had to carry dung uphill to make crops. I remember that some people carried dung uphill and fell on the road, and they were embarrassed.

In order to save manpower, people build manure pits in the slopes, usually collect rainwater, pick up a few loads of thick manure uphill when making crops, and mix it with the rainwater inside to drench the crops. I also heard that some people were digging dung pits in the mountains, and after the dung pits were built, the people who made the dung pits died. Eventually, the dung pit became his grave. At that time, crops on the slopes of the hilly terrain did exactly that, and farmers in the plains might have found it incredible. These are all things that I have personally experienced, and they are definitely not fictional, so I take this opportunity to write them down so that people will not forget the hardships of the peasant uncle in the hilly area.

Now, Master Liu wants to use his experience in playing the Red Lotus Cellar and the Mountain Maosi to dig a pit in the ground of the ghost building and find out the secret hidden behind the ghost building. If possible, destroy it so that it does not harm the world. In order to ensure the smooth digging of the pit, Master Liu used the three animals to sacrifice to the gods before breaking ground. The so-called three-animal sacrifice refers to the sacrificial offerings composed of three kinds of livestock in ancient times, which refer to the head of a sheep, a pig's head and a cow's head, which is the "big three animals". The "little three animals" refer to chickens, ducks and rabbits. Master Liu used the small three animals to quietly carry out sacrifices, and once they were discovered by others, it was difficult to explain.

After the sacrifice, Master Liu and Guo Xiong took turns to hoe and began to dig the ground. They try not to make a sound so as not to disturb others. When Master Liu used to dig the field in his hometown, he picked up the hoe with both hands, and then fell down heavily, and the hoe ate tightly into the soil, and he pried the hoe handle up again, and a piece of soil in the field was dug up by him. Now, he didn't dare to dig with this action, it would be too loud. I saw that he gently dug the hoe into the soil, and the hoe did not eat the soil deeply, and he stepped the hoe deep into the soil with his foot, and then turned the soil over. In this way, the digging sound is very small, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After digging for about an hour, Guo Xiong was already tired and out of breath, but Master Liu was calm. Master Liu smiled: "Young man, at first glance, you are a person who has never made crops in your hometown!" It's too tiring to dig so little! If you earn a share of work when you are in a big group, I think you will starve to death! ”

"Not necessarily! Master Liu! At that time, you worked collectively and worked hard every day, why didn't everyone have enough to eat? Now we don't make crops, we can't finish eating, even if we lack money, but food and clothing are not a problem. What is the rationale for this? Guo Xiong asked Master Liu speechlessly.

Master Liu dug a few more hoes, and obviously felt that the hoe did not encounter any resistance, and seemed to have failed. He stopped, turned on the flashlight, and found that he had dug a hole, and he couldn't figure out what was inside, so he didn't dare to dig again. Guo Xiong ran over and asked, "What kind of hole is this?" Snake Cave? Rat holes? ”

"Find something long to explore". Master Liu said.

Guo Xiong searched everywhere but didn't find anything like a long pole. He remembered that he had a ball of rope in his bag, so he tied a small piece of stone with the rope and slowly dropped the stone into the hole. After a few seconds, he felt the stone fall to the ground, and took the rope out, which he estimated to be more than three meters high.

Master Liu continued to expand the entrance of the cave, and people were already able to enter and exit the hole. Guo Xiong said: "Master Liu, you tie me with hemp rope, and I'll go down and see what's inside." If there is danger, you pull me up. ”

Master Liu first lit a few fires at the entrance of the cave to burn out the poisonous gases that might exist in the cave, and then put Guo Xiong down. Guo Xiong went down to the bottom of the cave, turned on the flashlight, and saw that the cave was the size of a room, and there were no burial objects, not like an ancient tomb. He searched around and found a door in a corner with a ladder outside. He took a few steps up the ladder and saw a pile of rubble. Guo Xiong analyzed that the rubble should be the construction residue after the demolition of the building. He finally concluded that he had now entered the basement that had been excavated by the occupants of the previous first floor, and that the unauthorized excavation of the basement was strictly an illegal construction.
