The cool wind blew in the early morning, and I felt refreshed in my body and mind, and after stretching my waist, I listened to my stomach growling, but in the hall, only the elders were waiting there.

Baizhou showed them the thing, and also talked about my guess last night, but did not say the source of the thing.

Elder Li was still very curious before, but Baizhou insisted on keeping it secret, and the other party had no choice but to give up.

After thinking about it, I guessed two possibilities, either this thing was taken by the murderer, or it was sent away by the deceased in advance.

Of the two speculations, I was more inclined to the latter, but Elder Li had no way to confirm the possibility of my two speculations, because he didn't know what the deceased would do with this thing.

But then, Elder Li called the family of the deceased to ask about the situation, and their answer was the same, the old man was in charge of everything alone, and no one knew what he would do.

In this way, it is difficult for us to choose the identity of the person who gave us this sign.

Originally, I still had the heart to ask Daoist Yin or Elder Song, but Baizhou thought that it would be no further ado, so let's go to the tomb as soon as possible.

You know, those tomb robbers have tomb blueprints, and if they get the first step, we won't have a chance.

Elder Li agreed, and handed over the other four brands to Baizhou one by one, but before going to the tomb, he had to cut his hair according to the patriarch's instructions.

Hair is also regarded as a thread of troubles, which symbolizes complex thoughts and desires in people's hearts, so cutting hair also means cutting off people's desires for some things.

Therefore, the patriarch has this testament, which is regarded as after going to the tomb, with an upright heart and no greedy thoughts.

Then, Baizhou wore another robe, with a rusty yin and yang Wuji diagram, modeled after a Tang costume, with a round neck and wide sleeves, lined with a black and white feather suit, and branded with gold patterns.

When everything was ready, and the ritual of descending the tomb was shortened to a minimum, we headed for the tomb, but when we looked at the drawings of the general location of the tomb given to us by Elder Li, we found that it was full of things that looked like stick figures.

But you can't blame him, after all, this is a tomb that few people have entered and exited for nearly a thousand years, and this drawing is still handed down by the ancestors and kept for backup.

If it weren't for the hard texture, I'm afraid it would have been dried and couldn't be seen in its original form.

We had the intention of going through the entrance marked on the drawings, but after thinking about it, it would be a good idea to find the gang as soon as possible, and follow them.

But when I think of this, I don't wonder how those people can get in without a key.

Unless there are other ways to enter the tomb on that metal ball?

Thinking so, I looked at Jiang Yuchen beside me again, and he also followed, but he didn't mean to go down with us.

Speaking of which, the ritual here feels very heavy, and looking back at the elders, their expressions are all very solemn, and even make me wonder if they will change their minds in the next second?

But fortunately, my worries are still redundant, and even if they say it, of course, they will not change their words casually.

Before going down to the tomb, we brought a few packs of special incense from the clan, and I sniffed it with my nose, and I felt a smell of herbs, and I didn't know what it was made of.

Carrying a heavy backpack, we said goodbye in front of this robbery cave, Elder Li repeatedly instructed that the tomb is dangerous, you must be careful, and stared at me vigilantly, and added meaningfully, "After you leave, I will definitely thoroughly investigate the relics of the deceased, and it is best that that thing has nothing to do with the murderer!" ”

I understood his thoughts, and I knew what he was worried about, so I just waved my hand to show that I was not afraid of shadows.

When they separated, Jiang Yuchen whispered a few more words to Baizhou, probably providing information about Li Sansi.

Baizhou nodded and waved goodbye to everyone. As we slowly walked towards the place of this black hole, I felt a beam of gaze coming from behind.

I followed my feelings and looked back at everyone, but in the crowd, I found Yin Daochang, he was standing at the edge of the crowd, if you don't look carefully, you really can't recognize it.

How did he end up here?

Could it be that this thief hole also has something to do with this person, or is it that the person who gave me the key last night was instructed by him?

I thought about this possibility, but I couldn't confirm it, because I had already gone to the thief hole.

This robbery hole is very professionally dug, the outside is very wide, like a cave, and there are dense trees around it to cover it, if you don't pay attention to it, it is difficult to find.

However, at this time, the surrounding camouflage has been removed, so it is more obvious now.

"Why are you so distracted, what are you thinking?" Unconsciously, we have come to the depths of this soil cave, and after hearing Liu Ran's words, I realized my reaction.

I had been thinking about that person last night, as well as Yin Daochang's affairs just now, but I didn't notice the changes around me, so when I came to my senses, I replied, "It's nothing, did they talk about the length of this thief hole?" ”

Liu Ran looked at me a few times puzzled, and saw that I didn't have the heart to explain more to her, so I didn't bother to ask again, and replied directly, "I found it in a hurry, and they didn't have the time or opportunity to study it carefully, so they didn't measure it, but if you follow them, you can find them sooner or later." ”

I nodded, and when I looked back, I saw that the hole had become very small, and now there was only one bright spot left.

Turning on the flashlight, we walked briskly to Baizhou's side, holding the drawing that had been repaired I don't know how many times.

It looks like a stick figure of a schoolboy, with rough lines, and only a few approximate locations can be determined.

Although the purpose of entering the tomb this time is to catch Li Sansi and ask about the situation, after all, it is a clan tomb, and we have certain clues in our hands, so we shouldn't be like last time, like a fly without a head.

And this time, our purpose is also different, if we can find Li Sansi in the nearest place, it would be great, so that we don't have to venture deeper.

We all have too many questions for him to answer, but I feel that the possibility of him answering us is almost remote.

Taking a step back, his purpose is a doubt, he has lived here for decades, and he has been infected by the humanistic atmosphere here, how could he turn his back on his people in just a few months?

There's so much unknowability that it's hard to stop here, so we don't have a choice.

Under the light, Baizhou looked at the drawing several times, and finally could only mark a few possible entrances.

After putting down the drawings, I asked them about their previous conversation, and Baizhou replied that there were no other holes near here except for the robbery cave we have found now.

That is to say, if they were going to go down to the tomb, this would be the only entrance, and as for how they opened the tomb door, and how far this robbery hole was from the nearby tomb gate, even Baizhou was unclear.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he continued, "Maybe the drawing he got has a way to open the tomb door without a key, and as for this thief hole leading to the tomb door, we can go in and see!" ”

There are still a lot of uncertainties about his words, but they shouldn't last long, because I don't think the hole will be long.

Even if Li Sansi had this plan in advance, he would have dug such a thief hole a long time ago, but after all, he was only one person, and even if he had accomplices, the number would never be large, because if there were more strangers, the people in the village would definitely pay attention.

Moreover, for the technical work of digging a robbery hole, Li Sansi will also find a person from Dong Xing to come over and implement it, and there are also certain considerations for the location of tombs and robbery holes.

That's one of the reasons why they're only now discovering that the cave exists.

Concealment is just as important as distance, so even if they have enough time, they will never set the distance too far.

Based on these, it is not difficult to guess the length of this robber hole, but because we do not have the exact drawing marks in our hands, we do not know which door they will choose to enter through.

After all, this is a family mausoleum, and it is guarded by descendants, so it is not like the tombs of those princes in ancient times, which are often buried underground and forbidden for everyone to enter.

The difference between the clan tombs is that there will be people buried here in the future, which forms a common point in the system.

After death, a person will also exist in his own family in another form, including genealogy and family tombs.

Therefore, such a tomb can be said to be the most solid, carrying between life and death, like an independent space, only open to the inside, and thus guarding a belief in the most primitive way of inheritance.

Perhaps this is a product of feudal society, but it has to be said that it is also a form of survival.

When everything grows, it is necessary to get rid of the superfluous parts, and it is also necessary to keep the most precious parts.

Throughout the ages, how many once glorious leaders and sages have survived to the end without leaving anything, and even tried their best to set up ambushes to protect their mausoleums, but in the end, those magnificent underground buildings will always collapse, just like their glorious lives.

On the other hand, the best construction of the ancestors is a kind of spiritual inheritance, and it is a manifestation of great wisdom to use the human heart, this complex and unknown thing as the guardian of the tomb.

I don't know if the first person to be buried here understood this a thousand years ago, which is why this tomb has been preserved for so long.

But they may also know that the human heart always has many facets, and only time or different angles can see them.

As I thought so, I had some admiration for the founder of this tomb, his foresight and understanding of the human heart.

Under the flashlight, we walked for half an hour, but we still did not find the tomb door, and there was still an endless robbery hole in front of us.

At first, when I came back to my senses, I thought it was strange, how could the thief cave be beaten for so long, could it be that Li Sansi's plan was really so early.

But when Baizhou glanced at the drawings a few more times, he suddenly stopped, the flashlight quickly swayed to the sides a few times, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and he said coldly, "This is no longer the thief hole we originally discovered!" ”
