Chapter 41: Probes
The "Unsolved Mysteries Institute" mentioned by Lao Lu aroused our interest, and we wanted to ask more, but we couldn't ask anything, because Lao Lu was not very clear about this mysterious organization, but he had only taken a face-to-face photo with some of its members, and only knew what their name was, as for other things, he didn't know anything. Lao Lu is right, at his administrative level, it is impossible to inquire about such a state-level secret department.
A few of us gathered around the dinner table to eat and talk, and we all told some interesting anecdotes, and we all drank a lot of wine that night, and after eating and drinking, we went back to bed.
Early the next morning, Lao Lu yawned repeatedly, stretched his waist and walked out of the house, looked up, but found that several of us had gotten up early, all sitting in the yard, I was drinking tea with Granny Zhuang, and Han Benchu and Pudding were checking the equipment. To be honest, after all, as ordinary citizens, this is the first time that we have participated in such a thrilling event as tomb robbing. We have only seen this kind of thing in movies, and none of us thought that one day we would really participate in it, so no one slept well last night, and we were both excited and scared in our hearts. Of course, it's more about the curiosity of the "unknown".
After Lao Lu washed up briefly, he walked up to Han Benchu and asked him, "Is the equipment inventory finished?" ”
Han Benchu nodded and said, "Old man Lu, don't worry, according to your instructions, all the things have been done, and there are not many of them." Rope, shovel, searchlight, helmet, dagger, crowbar...... Do you need to check it out? ”
Lao Lu patted Han Benchu's shoulder and said, "No need, I don't have to worry about your affairs." ”
So, we split the gear into three bags.
I, Lao Lu, and Han Benchu carried a bag on my back.
Today's pudding is simply handsome and blind to my eyes. She is no longer the "weird" dress of the past, but put on a cool black leather coat, this tight-fitting leather coat reveals her perfect figure, and there is a dark gray coat on the outside of the leather coat, carrying a white Tang knife behind her back, and she ties her hair up capably. Han Benchu's eyes were straight.
Granny Zhuang is also "fully armed" today.
She was wearing a retro-style cotton and linen Tang costume, straddled a cloth bag, and the whole person looked like an old monk who was hidden in the depths. Her cloth bag contained all kinds of magic weapons to ward off ghosts and evil spirits, what gold pills and silver pills, paper runes and ancient mirrors, countless, it seems that she was prepared early.
On such a big occasion, I naturally can't afford to lag behind. It's just that a noble 361-degree sportswear on his body has killed everyone in seconds, and when he lowers his head again, the pair of Hongxing Erke air cushion shoes for the royal family on his feet are exuding bursts of dazzling light. Of course, I have to be low-key and know how to leave room for others, so I can't deliberately expose my extravagant CK underwear, in that case, wouldn't it go against my original intention of being elegant and restrained?
After a hasty breakfast, we packed up our gear and officially embarked on the journey to the "Tomb of Aunt Braid". Because the equipment on us was too conspicuous and the destination was not far away, we decided to go on foot and cross through the hidden woods.
The nervous and excited mood made us walk very fast, and we didn't feel tired at all, and after walking for only an hour, a small temple stood on a hill in the distance, and it appeared in front of our eyes.
That's right, that's the Braided Gu Temple!
Lao Lu glanced at it and said to us: "Now it seems that there is probably not a "mountain" under the Braided Gu Temple, but a huge "sealing mound" made by a person. This is the "fish eye" position of the yin and yang fish, surrounded by mountains and water on three sides, its topography, revealing a solemn and excellent feng shui place in the relaxation! ”
I said, "Commander Lu, no matter whether this mountain is a mountain or a sealed mound, for us, it is huge. If your inference is correct, the tomb of the pigtail aunt is in the middle of this mountain, but where is the entrance to the tomb? How can you find this big? If we can't find the entrance to the tomb, we can't just dig a hole and drill into it, right? ”
Lao Lu said: "Don't panic, although the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty are mysterious, but everything has its "law", the Tang Dynasty people built ancient tombs, the forms can be described as varied, but there is one thing, there must be, that is: Shinto. ”
Shinto, as the name suggests, is a path.
The purpose of Shinto is to make it easier for future generations to climb the mountain and worship. So it's the way to the entrance to the tomb. Shinto is often paved with blue bricks, like a mountain road, from the foot of the mountain to the tombstone, and if it is built by wealthy families, there are often huge stone statues on both sides.
Lao Lu said: "This mountain is bare, and after more than a thousand years, the 'Shinto' of the Braided Aunt Tomb may have been destroyed long ago, but it doesn't matter, as long as we find it." ”
I asked, "How do I find it?" ”
Lao Lu said to Han Benchu: "Send the iron needle to everyone." ”
When Han Benchu heard this, he took out four slender iron needles from his backpack, which were similar to the iron fences on the balcony windows of our homes, slender and slender, with a pointed head in front.
I asked Lao Lu, "What is this for?" ”
Lao Lu said: "The Shinto is paved with bricks, more than a thousand years of wind and sun, buried in mud and sand, over the years I estimate that it should be buried in the ground at a depth of three or five meters, and so on will Zhuang Mother-in-law stand by, the four of us are divided into east, west, north and south, with the iron needle I sent you to the soil, if only mud is pierced, then change the place and then tie it, and so on, until it reaches the place where it can't be pierced, that is to pierce the bricks, that is the location of Shinto!" ”
Don't say it, Lao Lu is really an expert.
When he said that, we all understood. The soil is soft, and an iron needle can pierce it. The bricks are hard, and iron needles can't pierce them. If you hit something hard, you hit a brick. There are bricks in the soil of three or five meters, what else can it be if it is not ancient Shinto? So one of us took an iron needle, spread it out, and got busy. It was agreed that no matter what the outcome was, they would return to Granny Zhuang, who was guarding in the middle, every half an hour to gather and report their respective situations.
I'm in charge of the south side.
I swept around the terrain in the south, it was really fucking cleaner than my ass, there was no trace of artificiality, I didn't get a stitch, my heart was already half cold, I thought that I must be out of play this way, it's just a bald mountain.
But when you think about it, you still have to do the work.
So I listlessly pricked a needle into the soil, the first one or two meters, the soil was softer than tofu, and I plunged into it at once, but by the third meter, I felt as if something was wrong, the soil layer was a little messy, not like dead soil. So I frowned and stabbed down hard, only to hear the "bang", and the hairs on my whole body stood up!
It's hard!
