Chapter Twenty-Three: The Cave
The grave robber, seeing the ferocity of the comer, killed three of his companions without any warning, and immediately took a stand and agreed to cooperate, and this man seemed to be a wise man who had experienced some storms, and immediately began to dig a hole without saying anything.
Senior Brother Chai saw that he was skilled, and this posture was also considered an expert, digging up the frozen soil on a cold day was fast and accurate, without delay, and he should be considered a bit famous in their industry, so he wouldn't know that "Ten Thousand Ghosts Ascending to Immortals", is it a coincidence that he appeared here at the same time?
However, although Senior Brother Chai usually wants to be indifferent, he is still a little lonely in his heart, and ordinary thieves don't care about it at all.
But he didn't want to say that it didn't mean that it didn't matter to others, Zhang Li had already seen that the tomb robbers did have some backgrounds, so he thought about whether he was also coming for the painting, and immediately glanced at the two subordinates, and the two immediately understood.
The lean man called Beihai, when he saw that his face was usually that kind of treacherous person, he smiled, rubbed his hands, and said to the tomb robber with a smile on his face: "Yo, my brother is good, what do you call it!" Before the other party could respond, he turned his head to Donghai and scolded angrily: "Xiaodong, what are you stunned about, hurry up and come over to help, it's warm to move on this cold day." ”
After hearing this, the tomb robber sneered and thought: If you want to set Lao Tzu's words, there is no door, don't look at it now being temporarily held by you, but you don't know that this Xixia tomb has always been extremely treacherous, and when you get to the bottom, you have great ability, and you have to look at Lao Tzu's face to act.
But he said with the same face: "I don't dare to be, thanks to the love of the brothers in the door, they usually call me a dry land pig!" ”
This gopher is also a life in the wind, you want to say who he is afraid of that is not necessarily, although he is held, but as long as the momentum is not low, he can win a Bo, and he thinks that he has worked hard in the rivers and lakes for many years is also a little famous, and he feels that he can also mix a little thin noodles after reporting his name.
But your face is a fart in front of Zhang Lizao and others, Beihai is also disdainful in his heart, but he continues to laugh and say on his face: "Long Yang, long Yang, it turned out to be Brother Mouse, let's not talk darkly, I don't know what Brother Rat likes in this tomb, everyone is begging for life in the rivers and lakes, we are also seeking wealth, if the purpose does not conflict, the brother likes what is inside, just take it, we will never interfere, after coming out, each will go to each house to find its own mother!" ”
The gopher snorted in his heart, fuck you, a fool only believes your nonsense, Lao Tzu is now holding his life in your hands, of course you say what you say. But he saw that these people came prepared, and they seemed to know the contents of the tomb, so he couldn't say anything, so he quickly decided to tell the truth: "What else can there be, it must be the treasure of the Xixia Town Army's 'Ice Ling Armor-piercing Spear'!" ”
After listening to the words of the gopher, Zhang Lizao and the others were all relieved, and in order not to let people see the intention, Beihai continued to ask: "Oh? I have heard of this thing, the legend says that this gun comes from the Western Xia King Li Yuanhao conquest of a Western Regions to worship the country, the head of the gun is even more remarkable, it is said that it is made of Kunlun Mountain ice crystals, put in the fire for a long time, the thing that pierces is like being frozen by liquid nitrogen, and it is broken when touched. However, didn't this treasure gun say that it was plundered after the Mongol army's victory over the Western Xia Kingdom, and now it is said to have become Genghis Khan's funeral goods, but Genghis Khan's burial place has no specific location, so its whereabouts are unknown, how did Brother Rat know? ”
The gopher snorted: "Brother, don't set me again, there are rules for the line, if I tell the source, then how will we eat in the future!" ”
Beihai smiled, it depends on whether you have the life to eat, and after pretending to make a loss, he turned his head and discussed with Zhang Lizao in a whisper.
The rest of the people didn't say anything, and under the excavation of a few people led by the dry land rats, a zigzag robbery hole led directly to the tomb gate of the underground palace.
After saying this, Senior Brother Chai's face became a little gloomy, obviously the experience inside was still vivid, I saw that he seemed to be a little reluctant to mention the meaning, so it was not easy to force it, Senior Brother Chai shook his head: "I'll pick up some important things."
When the group entered, they also quickly found the two ear chambers, although anyone with a discerning eye can see that the scroll cannot be put together with ordinary mundane things, but it is impossible to let go of a chance to rummage, Zhang Lizao and others have a very clear purpose, although a few of his subordinates are also greatly moved when they see the property, but at this time everyone understands that finding the flower roll is the top priority, and must not do those things that lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds.
But the gopher was very distressed when he saw that these people were holding antiques and not making money, so he suggested: "In my opinion, this ancient tomb seems to be very big, if there are not a few things needed here, we might as well go first, and look elsewhere, so as not to have any accidents if it drags on for a long time!" ”
Zhang Lizao nodded at him and responded: "Brother Rat is an expert in this place, please!" ”
The gopher snorted, but there was no choice but to act as a pathfinder.
But after a long time of fruitless searching, the group also found that this is just a huge arsenal, in addition to a large number of conventional weapons, even the war room of the Taishi chair is worthless, and it has nothing to do with the rumors hidden in the scroll, plus the funeral goods in the ear room are all mundane things that can be bought with money, and a few people have been annoyed and complained, and they can't stop scolding the second master for being old and confused.
Although this gopher is not a person with them, but the psychology is not in a hurry, it wasted so much effort, and first lost the two brothers who were born and died with him, and in the end he didn't get anything, he probably had to put himself here.
At this time, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhang Li had already comforted everyone and said: "Brothers, don't worry, there is time, and there is an expert here to help, as long as the things are there, they can't run, even if they really don't, let's take the things in that small room, and it's not in vain for the brothers to work hard!" ”
After finishing speaking, he seemed to take out the 'Moon White' divine sword intentionally or unintentionally and shook it in front of the dry land rat, the meaning was already obvious, and at the same time said: "Brother Lao Rat has come up with a countermeasure." ”
The gopher sighed and said, "If you want to ask for fruition, you must know the cause, we might as well learn about this 'ancient tomb' first!" "The gophers are not sure if they have entered the tomb or not, so they can only delay for a while.
When the sturdy man named Donghai heard the gopher's words, he immediately stepped forward angrily and grabbed the gopher by the collar and scolded, "Are we fucking here to listen to your history lesson?" In the ...... not "
Before he could say the threatening words, Senior Brother Chai, who had been silent, suddenly said: "What he said is not reasonable, and we are not in a hurry at this time, what does Brother Rat have in mind, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
After the gopher who was put down by the East China Sea straightened his clothes, he thought for a while and then analyzed: "I have the source of the news, and there is also a tomb format here, and there are burial goods and feng shui masters who personally point out the points, so I can be sure that this is definitely an ancient tomb." It's understandable that we're temporarily trapped here, and it's normal to have a few underground floors according to the general layout of the tomb, but we haven't sent a secret entrance to the underground. Before coming, we had a brief analysis of the burial palace of the Xixia royal tomb, and I think that this is an underground palace in the form of an inverted pyramid, which corresponds to the above-ground part of the Xixia royal tomb. ”
After hearing this, the others felt that there was some truth, and Zhang Li asked early: "Then you mean that we still have to go down?" ”
The gopher nodded: "Yes, it's just that we have to dig one out without a passage." ”
Zhang Lizao continued to ask: "How to dig, there are rock walls all around, although it has been hundreds of years, we may not be able to use the shovel and mountaineering pickaxe in our hands to smash through!" ”
The gopher shook his head: "We don't need to smash through, we just need to smash through." ”
Zhang Lizao immediately understood: "I understand, this wall is just a wall when it is thick, and there must be a soil layer behind it, as long as there is a gap, we can continue to build, Brother Rat, am I right?" ”
The gopher nodded, and Zhang Lizao continued: "I already have a mind about the appearance of Brother Mouse, so please do it." ”
At this time, I saw the gopher take out a C4 plastic bomb from his backpack with a wicked smile and throw it into the air, then motioned for everyone to move away.
Several people were shocked when they saw the bomb, and they couldn't help but think, this person is too ruthless, he actually takes this thing on his body casually, and dares to use it in this closed environment, isn't he afraid of burying himself in it?
But the fact is that there is a specialization in the art industry, Zhang Lizao and others have been thinking too much, the gopher controls the explosives very accurately, and a one-meter-sized hole immediately appears in front of him after the explosion.
Several people were overjoyed, and immediately began to dig down, but after digging only more than two or three meters, a strange thing appeared again, the two brothers who dug the hole did not know what was going on, as if they had hollowed out the soil layer, and suddenly fell down.
Originally, everyone was still overjoyed to think that they had reached the next layer so quickly, but who thought that this 'next layer' seemed to be a long cave that connected left and right, with a height and diameter of only half a meter, and the two were strange, so they reported this situation, and when the dry gopher went down to see this scene, they were shocked: Oh no, isn't it someone who has taken the lead?
After coming up, he also reacted his thoughts like everyone else: "It's like a thief hole, and it's like a hole dug by some kind of animal, I can't be sure, both sides are bottomless, the soil of the Northwest Gobi is a little special, there are too many gravel, I can't judge with this small section of soil without traces, what are the ideas of a few people?" ”
After a lot of advice, it was finally decided that no matter where the road leads, there will always be an end, and we just need to climb through it.
If it's an animal, it's easy to say, just kill it. Someone is not afraid to be the first to do so, at least to prove that we are right, and even if something is taken, we just need to spend some time finding that person.
After the decision, there is no delay and ready to go our separate ways.
