Master Liu fixed the rope to the ground and also followed the rope into the basement. The basement is not decorated and is completely rough. In some places, it has collapsed, and there is a pile of mud and sand on the ground. The basement is littered with plastic film and cardboard, and Master Liu guesses that this basement is a storage room dug by the owner of the first floor in the past, just to pile up sundries.

This basement is so simple and primitive, since the owner of the house has dug it out, but he is reluctant to simply decorate it, I am really sorry for my hard work. Master Liu had used a chisel to hammer the red cellar before, and knew that it was not easy for the owner to dig the basement. He took a hammer and struck it all over the stone wall of the basement, and felt that there was a place where the sound didn't sound like that. He took out the compass again and measured it, and the pointer trembled, and it seemed that there was something abnormal in the stone wall.

Master Liu took out a chisel and a hammer and chiseled in this place. He seemed to be a decade younger again, back to the days when he was digging the Red Lotus Cellar. The hammer clattered through the basement with a crisp clanging sound. Guo Xiong found something to cover the hole dug in the ground so as not to disturb the outside world.

After about half an hour of excavation, a large hole was made in the wall of the basement. Master Liu used a flashlight to shine, and there was a lot of space inside. Guo Xiong was surprised, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go in, but Master Liu grabbed him and said, "You don't want to die?" Go find the critters and put them in the hole to measure the air quality. ”

What animals can be in this basement? Guo Xiong searched everywhere and found a small hole in the corner, and there were a few grains of rice and corn on the edge of the hole, which may be a mouse hole. Guo Xiong remembered the Japanese smoke the authentic poison plan in the tunnel war, found a few pieces of cardboard, lit them, poured the cigarette into the hole, and stepped down at the entrance of the cave.

The smoke filled everywhere, and he and Master Liu were choked and almost suffocated. Guo Xiong heard a rustling sound coming from the hole, apparently the rats were so smoked that they couldn't stand it and wanted to get out of the hole. Guo Xiong had already prepared a large bag at the entrance of the cave, and the two rats crawled out of the hole and were caught by him.

Guo Xiong tied one of the rat's feet with a rope and put the rat into a hole in the wall. The rat thought that Guo Xiong had kindly let himself go, so he spread his legs and drilled into the hole. It felt like it had something tied to its legs, and it was very inconvenient to run, and the more it ran, the more tired it became, and it was so tired that it couldn't breathe. Master Liu and Guo Xiong waited outside the cave for two cigarettes, pulled the rope and pulled the mouse out, and saw that the mouse was dead. Rats are really unfortunate, the medical school uses mice for experiments, and Guo Xiong also uses mice to test for poison gas. Scientists say that humans and mice are 90% genetically similar, but mice are used for all kinds of experiments.

I don't know how many years this cave has been closed underground, the air inside is not circulated, and it will produce poisonous gases that are harmful to the human body. If the cave is connected to the tomb, there will be corpse gas after the corpse decomposes, which cannot be dissipated in it, causing harm to the human body. It is said that oil and gas are formed when animals are buried in the ground after they die and are formed in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. For example, natural gas may contain hydrogen sulfide, a toxic gas, which may be the result of animal carcasses. At this moment, in the face of the poisonous gas in the cave, they were careless.

It will take some time for the poisonous gas in the cave to dissipate, and Master Liu and Guo Xiong did not have the relevant equipment to test the diffusion coefficient of the poisonous gas, so they could not calculate the time it would take for the poisonous gas to dissipate, so they had to crawl out of the cave and wait slowly. They put a few branches at the hole in the ground and covered them with some breathable things to hide it.

Master Liu worked on the construction site for another day, and after dinner, Guo Xiong and Guo Xiong went to the basement again. This time, the rat was put in first, and after taking out the rat, it was still alive, and it seemed that there was no poison gas in the burrow. Master Liu was worried that the rat would be poisoned again, so in order to let it "get on the road", he fed the rat braised meat during the day. Now that the rats are fine, Master Liu can't help but pity those few pieces of braised meat.

Although rats are the enemy of humans, after Master Liu tested the air quality, he couldn't bear to kill the rats and let them go.

"I guess there's an ancient tomb inside, so we'll have to be careful when we go in." Master Liu said.

"I've never seen an ancient tomb look like when I'm so old. Just the two of us, we don't know anything, and we can enter the ancient tomb? It's better to report to the relevant departments! Guo Xiong couldn't help but be afraid. He had attended the funeral of the old man in the village, a rectangular grave pit with stone slabs, slightly larger than a coffin, and the tomb was very cold and there were no burial goods. After the coffin is buried, the grave pit is covered with stone slabs, then covered with soil, and the stones are piled up to make the shape of a soil steamed bun, a tomb bag is produced, and a person's life is over, so "Dream of Red Mansions" quotes the poem of the Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda: "Even if there is a thousand-year-old iron threshold, there must be a soil steamed bun." ”

"It's also possible that it's not an ancient tomb. Don't alarm the relevant departments first, let's investigate by ourselves, maybe we can find the secret of the ghost building's invisibility. Master Liu said.

Master Liu and Guo Xiong drank a few sips of Lao Baigan, strengthened their courage, put on masks and gloves, pasted talisman paper on their bodies, took chisels, hammers, shovels, and flashlights into the cave. The cave is a passage, which can allow people to bow their heads and pass through, and after walking a distance of seven or eight meters, Master Liu and Guo Xiong really came to a tomb, it seems that the previous estimate was correct.

The area of the tomb is not large, at most only about 20 square meters, and the coffin of the tomb owner is parked in the center. There were a few bones piled up in the corner, the skull was dented and cracked, and there were obvious marks of blunt blows, probably the burial companions.

There are two pieces of metal next to the bones. The metal block is rectangular in shape, with the character "Ling" on it, and the words "Daisaikoku" are also engraved. Master Liu has studied junior high school and knows a little bit of history. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong established the name of the country "Daxi", and this metal block should be a token of the Daxi Kingdom.

The coffin of the tomb owner is not small, it is mahogany black lacquer, and it is painted with patterns. Master Liu touched the coffin board, it was very thick, and ordinary people couldn't afford to use such a thick coffin. Master Liu speculated that this was an ancient battlefield, where Zhang Xianzhong led the army to fight, and a heavyweight was unfortunately killed and buried here.

It is said that the best of the coffins is the gloomy wood, in which the body is enclosed and the flesh never decays. The second is linden mahogany and thousand-year-old cypress, and the thicker the heart of the tree, the more valuable it is. The coffin in front of me is also a first-class product. Master Liu aimed the chisel at the gap in the coffin board, beat it vigorously, hammered it in one place, and then changed the place, and all the coffin nails on the coffin board were loose.

Guo Xiong also came to help, and the two worked together, and the coffin creaked. Dust flew in the burial chamber, and although they were wearing masks, they were choked and coughed. The coffin board was very heavy, and they wanted to lift the coffin board and put it on the ground, but they didn't expect to use too much force, and they pushed the coffin board to the ground at once, and the contents of the coffin were unobstructed.

A tall male corpse lay inside, the moisture in the corpse had evaporated, leaving only a layer of dry skin wrapped around the skeleton. His facial features have collapsed, his eyes and nose have become black hollows, he is wearing a pair of armor, and his hands are on his chest, and he still looks mighty and domineering. There were seven or eight small holes in the armor, like the marks of being pierced by a bow and arrow, black.

Guo Xiong stretched out his head and glanced inside, so frightened that he almost screamed, and quickly looked away, not daring to look again. Master Liu's scalp was numb, and he folded his hands and bowed to the ancient corpse in the coffin a few times. Guo Xiong stabilized for a while, his courage recovered, thinking of the difficulty of working and the hardships of making money, he had a crooked idea, kowtowed to the ancient corpse, and said, "I don't know how many hundred years your old man has been sleeping underground?" Anyway, you have already ascended to the Western Elysium, and it is a pity that the treasures in the coffin are buried in the ground. We are destitute and short of food and clothing, so we have no choice but to borrow a few treasures from you. As the saying goes, 'if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world', and we will definitely use your treasures to do good deeds and help the poor in the world, especially the poor in the countryside. ”

After Guo Xiong finished praying, he gritted his teeth, mustered up his courage, and reached into the coffin to touch it. Master Liu reminded him: "The belongings in the ancient tomb belong to the state, don't move around!" Our goal is to investigate the case and find out the secrets of the ghost building, not to rob the tomb! Tomb robbery is illegal, and if you catch it, you have to sit in the class room! …… The deceased is the greatest, lightly start, don't break the corpse! ”

Guo Xiong didn't listen and continued to rummage inside the coffin. Most of the burial objects inside were some ancient weapons, and he couldn't name them, and he didn't know the value of the weapons. He was overjoyed to find a sword and a short knife, and he started to think about the armor on the ancient corpse. He took out his sword and short sword, and was about to take off the armor of the ancient corpse, but the ancient corpse underwent a corpse transformation, and an arm covered with green hair stretched out from the coffin......
