Chapter 44: Luoyi

The group of tomb robbers were all tomb robbers for many years, and several people took turns, and soon dug a round hole down enough for one person to enter and exit, and slowly turned to the plane under the command of the third child, forming a gentle slope. The wooden braces prepared in advance were constantly sent in to establish a relatively solid passage, but they had not found the outer wall of the tomb that should have appeared a long time ago, which made the third child's brow furrow tighter and tighter.

"There it is!" The fourth child's voice came from below, and because of the distance, it sounded sullen. "It's supposed to be a big tomb! Dig to the vault! Good guys, it's a good brick! ”

"Replace me!" Lao Qi suddenly became excited, in ancient times, those who could afford to use green bricks to build tombs were definitely not small households, even if it was not the target they were looking for, they would definitely not return empty-handed.

The fourth child quickly climbed out, and the seventh child took the tools specially used to dismantle the brick wall and couldn't wait to climb in.

The dull crashing sound soon sounded, and after more than ten minutes, Lao Qi crawled out: "Okay! ”

"Don't worry, everybody." The man in his fifties, who was the boss, scattered a circle of cigarettes, and several of the main diggers began to squat on the mound to rest, while others used a blower to pump air into the hole. The longer the tomb, the more likely it is that a large amount of toxic air has been deposited, and this common sense, which was previously regarded as a tomb mechanism, has long been widely known by tomb robbers, and there are already corresponding methods. They even prepared gas cylinders and breathing masks, so they could wear masks as a last resort.

The third child took out a trained mouse, tied a thin and tough rope firmly to its tail, and put it in.

The rope was dragged by the rat and lengthened, the air inside was obviously no problem, and there was nothing unclean, Lao Qi couldn't bear it anymore, dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up: "Okay, okay!" I'll go down and see! ”

The boss nodded, took out a touch gold talisman, and carefully hung it around his neck: "Come in and out, don't be busy taking things, let's see the place clearly first!" ”

Lao Qi's figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the thief cave, and the sound could be heard at first, but it seemed to be very deep inside, and his voice quickly disappeared. Several people waited silently outside the cave, but he never came out.

"Boss!" The string in the third child's hand was also put on his head, which made his heart sink, this rope is nearly a hundred meters long!

"There's a problem!" The boss smashed the cigarette butt in his hand and took out a few charms from behind him, which were treasures he had exchanged for from a wandering Taoist priest many years ago, and they had helped him through many difficulties over the years. "I'll go in and have a look, and I'll be right out."

His figure also disappeared into the thief cave, but after a few minutes, it also became silent.

"Boss! Top dog! The third child lay down at the entrance of the cave and screamed a few times, but there was no response.

"The third?" Everyone else began to panic, if the space below was very wide, with Lao Qi's temperament, it was very likely that he would start looking for things everywhere regardless of it, but the boss had the most calm temperament, no matter what the situation was below, he would definitely come back first and tell them that he would only re-enter after the arrangements were made, and there was no reason to go back like this.

But if there's something in there that kills people, it won't give them a chance to scream, right?

The third child was also weak for a while, and the string in his hand still had a slight pulling feeling, it should be that the mouse was still trying to climb forward, but what was the situation between the boss and the seventh?

He tried to recover the rope, and after pulling more than ten meters, the rope suddenly pulled in! The thin and tough rope slashed through the gloves on the third hand, cutting a deep cut in the palm of his hand!

"Something's wrong! Flash! The third child screamed, and at that moment, a paw covered with white fluff suddenly stretched out of the thief hole, grabbed his foot, and dragged him straight in!

……

"How do I check this?"

Standing on top of the mountain, Sun Yang only felt a little dizzy, and he had no clue at all.

"Those nine words are headless and brainless, are they three places, or the same place?" Lu Xiaoling also said with some annoyance.

Accustomed to the relative altitude difference around Yuanshan City, which can reach four or five hundred meters at every turn, and some are even as high as seven or eight hundred meters or thousands of meters, the hills of two or three hundred meters here in Luoyi cannot be called mountains at all in their opinion, and the mountains in Sun Yang's imagination should be like those mountains in the distant mountains, with strange rocks, evergreen pines and cypresses, inaccessible and ancient.

But the mountain in front of him was not at all what he had imagined, the highest peak was only two or three hundred meters, and more of it was scattered among the fields, one by one small hills.

He was a little puzzled, but when he asked the local villagers, they told him with certainty that this was Bishan Mountain, and it was the famous Bishan tomb group.

An abrupt semicircular hill on the flat ground is an imperial tomb, and the Cuiyun Peak where the legend says that Laojun alchemy is just a slightly higher hill. After the two of them checked Sun Kuo's life, they went to look for the tomb of Zhu Wen, which was about the same age as Sun Kuo, but found that it had already been destroyed, leaving only a small mound full of green plants. A lot of the enclosed soil on the south side has been dug up by unknown people, and there is a path on the top of the hill that has been trampled out, full of all kinds of garbage, and it looks very miserable.

If you look at it alone, it is really difficult to recognize that this was once the mausoleum of a generation of traitors.

"In our place, if you dig a random place for more than ten meters, it may be an ancient tomb." The taxi driver who was driving them around was blowing nonsense at them. "This is the essence of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties! In the early years, no one dared to build high-rise buildings at all...... Why? Isn't it about digging foundations? If you accidentally dig up cultural relics, what should I do? It's impossible to scrap the project and wait for someone from the Cultural Relics Bureau to come to the appraisal slowly, right? Later, many of the ancient tombs or ruins excavated by the project were secretly removed...... What's inside, you say? Of course, it was the people present who divided. But generally speaking, there are no good things, they are hundreds of thousands of years, what good things do you think can be saved? If there is really something good, they don't dare to mess around, then they will lose their heads! ”

Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling perfunctory him without saying a word, he may have regarded Sun Yang and them as those boring couples who came here to explore and hunt for treasures after reading a few legendary stories, and their interest was getting higher and higher.

"Let's just say that in Zhujiagou next to my hometown, when the Cultural Relics Bureau came to do a survey ten years ago, there were about 112 ancient tombs, and most of them were before the Song Dynasty. And guess what? ”

"What's wrong?" Sun Yang asked whimsically.

"It's better if they don't come to the census, no one knows what it is, and when they do the census, it doesn't take ten years, and those graves are basically dug up, and when I go back a year ago, I heard that there are only about a dozen left."
