Chapter 163: The Strange Emperor's Mausoleum
The group ran north for several days until they reached a zone where forest and grassland meet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Kitano Ryuyin judged by feeling that this place might be close to the Great Khinganling Mountains.
It's deserted, uninhabited, and the grass on the ground is luxuriant. At the end of the steppe, at the edge of the forest, there was a low hut, standing alone. From a distance, it blends in with the trees behind it, and it's hard to spot it if you don't look closely.
The young man surnamed Zhang nodded to everyone, "It's here, it's here." β
Boss Du squinted at the cabin, and said in a broken voice, "Why are there still people in the house?" Ranger? β
On the chimney of the cabin, a faint green smoke was rising.
Du Lao Er jumped off the horse, grabbed the long cloth bag on the horse's back and shook it, revealing a rifle inside, pulled the bolt with a bang, the action was very skillful, and after the bullet was loaded, he raised the gun and aimed at the wooden house.
"Don't shoot!" The young man surnamed Zhang reminded him, "Inside is the person we arranged." β
"Yours again? How many people did your team pull in? Boss Du shook his head and said, I heard that someone came in to share the food, which made his boss unhappy.
"Let's go!" The young man surnamed Zhang clamped the horse's belly between his legs and drove the mount forward slowly, and everyone followed in turn.
Mo Laosan approached Long Yin and gave him a look imperceptibly - Long Yin didn't pay attention to him, in fact, he had already found out on the road that the three brothers of the Du family all had guys on them! But he didn't take it to heart.
It is relatively common for people walking on the underworld outside Mobei to carry weapons on their bodies for self-defense. On the one hand, there are often fierce beasts in the barren mountains and mountains, and on the other hand, it is necessary to guard against some bandits.
Although it has been liberated for many years, there are still some rogue horse bandits who have slipped through the net in some remote areas - legend has it that in the depths of the Great Khing'an Mountains, there are still some Japanese robbers who refused to surrender during the Anti-Japanese War and swore allegiance to the emperor, and some herdsmen once found them haunting like wild men.
When they came to the hut, the crooked wooden door creaked open, and out of it came an old man with a sloppy body and a messy beard, rolled his eyes, and looked at everyone with a blank face.
"This is the grave keeper we have arranged here." Xiao Zhang said, nodded to the old man, and handed him the reins.
"A bad old man, what can he keep?" Du Lao Er muttered, threw the reins into the old man's hand, and entered the house sideways.
As soon as I entered, I let out a "sigh".
Everyone went in turn, and they were all taken aback.
The whole wooden house is actually an ornament, there are no windows, it is empty, there is a simple earthen oven made of mud blocks near the door, and some broken cotton wool is piled up next to it, presumably where the grave keeper spent the night, but there is no furniture in the house.
In the middle of the house, there is a large pit about 6 meters long and about 3 meters wide, inclined downward, the deepest part of the pit is more than 4 meters, and there are two dark red gates, the gate is closed, and it looks very heavy.
Xiao Zhang introduced: "Some time ago, this old man - ranger Lao Liu, when patrolling the mountain, the horse fell into the soil nest, and stumbled upon this ancient tomb, after reporting to the superiors, the archaeological team sent someone to check it, and found that the structure of the tomb was very strange, and it could not be opened with manpower at that time, so I could only send someone to look at it first, and then dig after preparing sufficient manpower and tools." β
Kitano Tiger Roar carefully observed this wooden house, it was built very sloppily, the stubble of the wooden stakes was still new, and the fragrance of the tree trunk could be smelled, and it seemed that it would take more than ten days to set it up.
Turning his head, he asked, "So we're helping the archaeological team?" β
Boss Du laughed loudly: "Help the archaeological team work? They're a fart, what kind of money can Lao Tzu make by working for them?
Big brother, you are still a little tender, this is obviously Boss Zhang took advantage of the archaeological team to do private work by himself before the archaeological team came back - by the time the authentic archaeological team came, this place had already been hollowed out by our brothers. Quack! β
Seeing that Kitano Tiger was displeased, Boss Du touched his beard and continued, "We don't know what you two brothers usually do, but our Du family's three tigers have never traded at a lossβdon't you say?" Boss Zhang? β
The young man surnamed Zhang smiled slightly, noncommittal, and continued to introduce:
"When the archaeological team dug up the gate, they couldn't push it open by all means, and the old mage in the team said that he had excavated so many ancient tombs in his life, and he had never seen this style, and he had no clue."
"Why do you spend so much trouble opening the door, just make a thief hole next to it!" Boss Du walked to the bottom of the pit and knocked on the door with his hand, which turned out to be a solid stone door.
Mo Laosan, who was touching and looking at the side, shook his head and said, "It's useless." β
Turning his head to see Boss Du's fierce face, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Boss Du, I didn't mean that!" I know that your northern faction is good at strength, and it is a unique skill to rob caves, but this ancient tomb is extraordinary. I guess the whole chamber is sealed with huge stones, and you can't get into it by digging a hole. β
Xiao Zhang said: "Mr. Mo guessed right, at that time, the archaeological team also went down to the robbery holes around, but they all encountered boulders one after another, and they couldn't move forward a bit. β
"Then blow up the fuck - you said it earlier, our brother got more explosives!" Du Lao Er complained that this guy is also a violent temper.
Mo Laosan shook his head, "It's useless, this door stone is at least half a foot thick, not to mention the surrounding diamond wall, and putting explosives is just a nest......
"That's what you say!" Boss Du turned around with a neck crutch and turned Mo Laosan around in place.
Xiao Zhang said: "Mr. Mo is right, if you make explosives, the movement is too big, and if you collect so many explosives at once, the relevant departments will detect it - and it's too late now."
It's been more than half a month since the tomb was discovered, and because the place is too remote and the excavation is troublesome, the archaeological team didn't pay much attention to it, so they gave us time, but I guess it's almost time for them to act now - we don't have much time. β
Boss Du squatted on the edge of the pit and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, there are many dreams at night, hurry up and finish it." But how do you do that? I'm afraid this stone gate weighs thousands of pounds, and we people may not be able to push it. β
After that, he squinted at Mo Laosan and said: "As soon as you come in, you will be nagging, as far as you know a lot, you can tell me how to go in and fight, if you can't tell the truth, the brothers will kill you!" β
Mo Laosan was so frightened by him, he helplessly spread his hands and looked at Xiao Zhang, and issued a silent cry for help-everyone set up a team to rob the tomb, how could it be my responsibility in the end.
Xiao Zhang didn't pay attention to him at all, as if he approved Boss Du's proposal.
Mo Laosan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Then I have to guess boldly, but if you guess wrong, don't blame me......"
"Say Chicken Chop, look at what you're doing there."
Mo Laosan cleared his throat: "Ahem, in our tomb robbery industry, all the tombs of all dynasties and generations have characteristics, as the saying goes, 'Qin buried mountains, Han buried slopes'......"
"Nimabi, be serious, don't drop your bookbag with Lao Tzu." Boss Du grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it on his face.
"Ahem" Mo Laosan, who was standing at the bottom of the pit, was sprinkled with his head, wiped a handful of dirt on his face, and continued to speed up his speech and said: "The tombs of all dynasties have characteristics, but this tomb, judging from the current situation, does not match the tomb system of all dynasties.
From the perspective of feng shui, the terrain and direction chosen are not reasonable, and it is difficult to determine the dynasty. β
Mo Laosan said and secretly glanced at Xiao Zhang, "I learned about the situation with Mr. Zhang before, they have played robbery holes in several directions around them before, and all of them have encountered the King Kong Wall, from the location of the robbery hole and the King Kong Wall, the scale of the underground palace is very large, such a large underground palace, and can afford to use such a specification of sealing stones, that is not an ordinary tomb, tomb, tomb can afford it, only the emperor's tomb and the tomb have such a status." β
Boss Du stood up when he heard this: "You said we dug up the emperor's grave?" β
Seeing his excited eyes, Mo Laosan said timidly: "Not necessarily, generally the emperor's tomb has a very large mound of sealed soil - many of the emperor's tombs are the whole mountain - but the mausoleum we encountered, the top is flat, it doesn't look like there is a sealed soil, judging from the sealed door below, the underground palace should not be very ......deep."
Boss Du scratched his head and said, "Hey! Evil door, which dog emperor is idle and has nothing to do to dig this kind of broken pit? β
Beiye Longyin, who had been silent beside him, said: "Brother Mo is right, the reason why this mausoleum is so strange is because it is not Han buried inside at all - this is the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty!" β
