Chapter 40: Treasure Hunting Underground

"I'm blind!" Dahu said suddenly.

Lao Bo also felt like he was blind, there was a very empty space below, and the light of the headlamp seemed to be wiped out in the sea, and nothing could be illuminated at all.

Lao Bo turned on the strong flashlight he carried with him, and saw that the place one or twenty meters below seemed to be flat ground. The current situation is that the two of them are standing on this stone, unable to advance or retreat, and they find that this stone has only about one square meter of space, and the back is three or four meters high from the ground, and the front is a dark abyss. The two of them were a little frightened, so they quickly sat down, holding the rope with both hands, for fear of stumbling in a moment.

"In this way, let's put the rope down first, see if it's long enough, don't just look close like this, and then go down, you can't go up to the sky, you can't go down to the ground, then it's troublesome. If the rope isn't long enough, we'll withdraw first, what do you think? Don't be bruised. Dahu said cautiously.

Lao Bo is also weak now, but he just nodded to the big tiger, hung the sapper shovel on the end of the rope and began to put it down. Strangely, although the stone just thrown just now made a sound for a long time, the sapper shovel was lowered for less than 20 meters and stopped. Lao Bo lifted it up and probed, and it was obviously flat ground below, shaking back and forth, left and right, and there was also a sound of slapping.

"Come on, you help me take care of the top, I'll go down first." The old man tugged on the rappelling rope, wrapped the figure-eight buckle around his waist, and slowly slid down the cave wall. When he reached the bottom, he picked up his flashlight and looked around, and it turned out that there was an unfathomable crack here, and it was obvious that the stone had fallen underneath. This is supposed to be an entrance to the Boshan underground water system. Further ahead, there is a relatively spacious space, warm and humid, there is no winter feeling, and there is soft silt that has not been frozen underground. Lao Bo felt very comfortable, so he shouted to the big tiger, "It's safe, you can come down." Let's walk forward and see what's there. ”

The two of them walked along the stone wall for about forty or fifty meters, and this direction was about the southwest of the big temple, that is, the direction of Xuelang Spring. Dahu said as he walked, "No wonder the spring water can spray so high after heavy rain, it turns out that it is so big down here, and it seems that it is all water here in the rainy season." ”

"Well, I guess that crack just now is even deeper, and if you fall down, it will be an underground river." It is said that there is an iron mine underneath this, and in the rainy season, the water will wash the iron out of the ground, and then it will dye the Xiaonu River yellow, which is also the reason why the Xiaonu River has formed a yellow stream in summer for thousands of years. The so-called yellow dragon is also because of iron.

"Since this place is constantly filled with water, there should be nothing, what do you say that the treasure has been blistered for thousands of years and is still intact?" Big Tiger said.

Lao Bo said, this matter, they have said before, if there is something here, it must be sealed in that kind of thing that is not afraid of water, and it will be fixed somewhere.

"What is not afraid of water, what is not afraid of anything." The big tiger was a little lost.

"Gold, silver and jade are not afraid of water, as long as they are fixed in one place and not washed away by water." Lao Bo used a strong flashlight to point to a cave in front of him, and in that cave, there seemed to be something in the shadows.

The two of them suddenly became short of breath, what is this? Is there anyone else in there?

Lao Bo immediately protected the sapper shovel on his chest, and Dahu also clenched a crowbar. The two of them walked slowly towards the cave, and Lao Bo turned the light into the cave, and it turned out that there was a stone gate that had been dug by hand. I was so shocked that the shadowy thing was actually a stone in front of the stone door, embedded in the ground like a deadbolt.

"We can't move here anymore, we have to let Old Man Ma and Dr. Liu come and see." The big tiger suddenly stood in front of the old man.

"What? Is this going to cross the river and tear down the bridge? The old man smiled and said that he knew that if there was a dispute here, he would not be able to make any money at all. Now the top priority is how to get out, he doesn't know what Lao Ma plans to do next, but it is obvious that Dahu knows this plan. "I'm kidding, let's go back and explain the situation here to Old Man Ma. You give me a flashlight, and I'll take a few pictures first. ”

Seeing that Dahu was very cooperative, Lao Bo knew that he wouldn't do anything to himself now, after all, there was Lao Gang outside, and they couldn't predict what would happen here, so they had to wait until they went back. Wouldn't it be for a stone gate that didn't have anything yet, and started fighting? Although tomb robbers are all virtuous, don't they advocate win-win cooperation now? Lao Ma won't be ignorant of this truth.

The two of them returned to the ground smoothly, and it was already past four o'clock in the morning. Lao Gang and Erhu are freezing here, and they are anxious. The four of them work together to put the stone back in its place. But they decided to leave all the tools here, and under normal circumstances, as long as the front door is locked, no one will come to this place. And if you go out with tools now, it is very inconvenient to evacuate. At this time, there were already early risers, and the four of them had to travel lightly and pretend to be morning exercisers.

Knowing that Lao Bo and others had made a major discovery, Lao Ma called and asked everyone not to go home to rest first, let's come to the old house to analyze it, and then everyone slept during the day. Strike while the iron is hot in the evening and keep working.

When Dr. Liu received the text message, he also woke up the doorman and Liu Laoxiao, "Dude, I really drank too much last night, I'll go back with you Brother Liu first, you also wake up, don't let the leader find out about drinking." ”

After that, Dr. Liu drove Liu Lao Shen out, took a taxi, and came to the old house in Heishangou.

At this time, Lao Ma also didn't sleep all night, and kept waiting for news in front of his mobile phone, this night, only the drunk Liu Laoxiao and He Ah slept the most soundly, and seemed to know nothing about what happened last night.

"I see, this stone gate should have been built in this season, and there should have been a cave here, so they made a stone gate to block it. You see, this stone embedded in the ground is a stone bolt, and the person who cultivates it must know it, and the person who can find it must be the one who knows the secret. So, as long as the stone plug is opened, the contents of the cave are taken away. Dr. Liu said.

"Tonight, Dr. Liu has to work hard for you and continue to accompany Liu Laoxiao to drink. A few of us went to open the stone gate. Lao Ma said.

"There's no mechanism or something, right?" Dahu was a little uneasy, "What if there is a trap?" ”

"Are you afraid of flying a few arrows like in the TV series?" Lao Gang asked happily.

"There won't be that thing, but you have to be careful, the mechanism of the ancients used the weight of stones to create a collapse, block the portal, and bury the thieves at the same time." Although the old horse is fake, these experiences seem to be real. "There used to be water as a natural barrier, but it was only during the dry period of winter when the drought was that this place was revealed. It is estimated that when there are no buildings on it, the scene inside is not a secret. ”

"Yes, once it becomes a legend, everyone is very taboo to mention the normal state of this place in the past. Although there is no mechanism, everyone should be careful. Dr. Liu echoed Lao Ma's opinion.

In the evening, everything went very smoothly, and when they came to the stone gate, they easily removed the stone bolt blocking the gate with a crowbar. The stone door is very cleverly designed, about 1.5 meters high and about 1.2 meters wide, and the two doors are opened from the inside out, and the stone bolt can be removed. The old horse motioned to everyone not to move, stepped forward and gently opened the stone door a crack, the light shone, the stone door slowly opened, and there was a smell of humidity spreading in the air. It seems that there is nothing abnormal inside, and everyone opens the door and looks inside. It's a small space, with nothing but a few jars.

The old horse stooped into the cave and shook the jar with his hand, which did not look very heavy.

Lao Bo roughly calculated, a total of seven jars, said to be altars, but clay pots, completely closed, I don't know what is inside. I picked one up and tried it, but it wasn't very heavy. "What is this? Shall we move back first? ”

"Lao Gang, Big Tiger, you can move these things out. I'll look here again and see if there are any clues. The old horse arranged.

Lao Bo nodded, picked up the flashlight and looked around in the cave, only to see that there were four words on the stone wall at the bottom of the cave, turning around in the curve, and I couldn't see anything, as if the leftmost one was a two. Lao Bo hurriedly called Lao Ma over and asked him to recognize him.

"Let's take a picture first, I don't know the general words now, let alone this kind of golden text." The old horse said.

"How do you know it's Jin Wen?" The old stuffy asked him strangely.

"I heard what Dr. Liu said, generally small seals will be used after the Qin Dynasty, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, they are generally used in golden characters." Lao Ma explained.

The two of them then looked around again to make sure that nothing else had been missed, and returned to the surface with the others. Today went very well, and before 3 a.m., it was all cleaned up. They put the granite back in its place, covered the entrance, and paved a few long strips of bluestone. After confirming that there was no sign of turning, the group moved the tools and the seven jars to the commercial van that had been prepared outside.

"This car is not ostentatious at all, you can't see what is in it from the outside, and it is just enough to take so many things away at once." Lao Gang sighed.

"It's a pity you can't sit down." The big tiger gave him a blank look, let the old horse get into the car, and got into the cab in front.

"A few of you will also go back to the old mansion, and let's see how big the harvest is this time." The old horse smiled and beckoned the big tiger to drive back.

"You say, will they just pull away?" Looking at the back of the business car in the distance, Lao Gang couldn't help but be a little worried.

"I think it should be fine, they are in Boshan, definitely not just to catch such a little thing." Although Lao Bo felt that something was wrong everywhere, he couldn't tell what was wrong.
