Chapter 16: The Lord of Gold

I walked around the stone, the color of the stone is strange, although it has been weathered for a long time, but the blue and yellow color on it is unique, I followed Ye Jiuqing to learn to explore the tomb, where there should be what kind of soil and mountain stone has long been familiar with the heart, it is certain that this will not be naturally formed in the North Mountain.

A person with poisonous eyes like Ye Jiuqing, if he is allowed to take a glance, he can immediately see the clues, I see that the soil layer around the stone is in perfect condition, and there is no trace of being moved, and it has not been found for so long, all thanks to the terrain here, no one will explore the tomb in a pile of rocks, there is a feeling of being hidden in the city, and I have to admire the mind of the person who hides things here.

I determined a good place for the field chicken to explore the shovel, the field chicken according to my explanation, along the stone wall slowly down the down, at the beginning also encountered the gravel in the soil, after cleaning up gradually the field chicken in the hand of the shovel began to handy.

I used the light of the flashlight to check the soil samples brought up every time, when I hit about three meters, I took off the soil from the probe shovel, just rubbed a few times suddenly, Tian Ji and Gong Jue saw my reaction, and they all came around to ask what was wrong, I put the soil sample in the palm of my hand, and after removing the soil, a broken off-white fragment appeared in my palm under the light.

"Shells!" The field chicken buried his head and recognized the lines on the fragments.

"Hit deeper." I said to Tian Ji with a solemn face.

The deeper the shovel hit, the more shell fragments were in the soil samples brought up, and the palace lord glanced at me: "I originally thought that Sui Houzhu would hide under this stone, but I didn't expect it...... There is actually a shell tomb in the place where the Xuanwu seal is hung! ”

These shells were used to build the cemetery, the shells are waterproof and hard, and they were extremely luxurious materials for the construction of mausoleums in the Spring and Autumn Period, which indicates that Sui Hou Zhu was likely to be buried with the tomb owner, but what really worries me is that the gold owner in the Beibi branch pot pit entrusted Chen Wen to find a shell tomb.

If it's not a coincidence, it's very likely that the gold owner and the one we are looking for are the same place, and we only learned this clue after cracking the Chongming Ring, if the gold owner is also looking for here, I really can't figure out how the gold owner knows.

While!

My thoughts were interrupted by the impact sound from the probe shovel, Tian Ji turned around and said that there was something under the soil layer, and asked me if I still want to continue digging, this is completely different from the tomb that Ye Jiuqing taught me to explore before, there is no place that conforms to common sense, at least no one will bury themselves in the place suppressed by Xuanwu.

I took the probe shovel in the hand of Tian Ji, first look at the soil sample brought up, it should be to the tomb wall quickly, and the general has also dug a lot of tombs, but the shell tomb is the first time to see, and it is also a tomb in the place of feng shui, it is inevitable to be a little curious, and I stabbed the shovel a few times, and felt that the things blocking below were a little loose.

With a little more force, the probe shovel in his hand penetrated directly into it, and suddenly felt that the soil layer under his feet was collapsing, and he was shocked, thinking that this is broken, I don't know the structure of the shell tomb, and it is estimated that the soil layer above collapsed directly through the tomb wall.

Before I could react, the soil under my feet fell violently, and I fell down with it, and fell firmly into the dark ground, but fortunately it was not very deep here, otherwise even if I didn't die, I might have broken my leg.

This fall is really not light, I didn't stand up for a long time, I looked up and saw the palace lord and Tian Ji looking at me anxiously, estimated to be five or six meters deep, I asked Tian Ji to throw the flashlight down, and I saw a passage to the depths of the ground under the light.

It should be the tomb road that I dug through, and this tomb road is not short, it is not difficult to see that the specifications of this ancient tomb are not low by this tomb alone, and it should be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period from the structure of the tomb road, but the texture and pattern of the tomb road masonry are from the Western Han Dynasty.

I was a little confused after watching it for a long time, the owner of the tomb should be a person from the Western Han Dynasty, but after his death, he used the burial system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which reminded me of the ancient tomb in the east of Chengdu, which was first dug up by the palace lord, and even Ye Jiuqing thought it was the Warring States Tomb, but Ye Zhiqiu came back and said that it was buried in the Western Han Dynasty.

These two tombs are very strange, and for a while I can't figure out what the connection between the two tombs is, and the long tomb road ends in front of a thick tomb door under the light of the flashlight.

Visually inspect the door of this tomb to say a few tons, just the three of us, it is estimated that it will not be ten days and a half months not to think about opening, and the tools are not enough, anyway, the place has been found, and other things can be discussed in the long run.

It's not early, I found a branch to hide the hole that was dug up, and re-covered it with soil, this tomb is bigger than I imagined, and it can't be done by the three of us, so I have to notify Ye Jiuqing to help.

It was about the same time as the rendezvous, and it was necessary to rush back in time to avoid arousing suspicion.

It was exactly four o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the meeting place, and the others also returned one after another in vain, and when we arrived, I saw Liu Tian and a few people talking in front of me, and they didn't look like they were visiting the grave with us.

"It's all quiet, the gold owner has a few words to say." Liu Tian walked over and looked like a fox and a tiger.

I immediately raised my head, the way of this gold lord has not yet been figured out, if it is the same thing as us, I am curious about who this person is, and where the news comes from.

As soon as I thought of this, I saw those people get out of the way, and then I saw a car parked behind, and a person was sitting in the back window, the light was too dim to see the person's appearance, and I could only vaguely see an outline, which should be a man.

I soon found out that the car was parked in such a way that I couldn't see the person in the car from any angle, and this person seemed unwilling to let others remember him.

"Everyone has worked hard all night in the stars and the moon." The man's voice came from the car, slow and steady, polite but majestic.

As soon as the voice reached my ears, I was suddenly startled in my heart, this voice was so familiar, I seemed to have heard it somewhere, but I couldn't remember anything.

The man waved his hand lightly in the car, and the person standing in front of the car took out a bag and handed it to Liu Tian, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a thick stack of money.

"I never treat the people who help me do things, it doesn't matter if you find it or not, as long as everyone can do their best, you have worked hard for many days, everyone has shared the money, and it should be a little compensation." The voices of the people in the car were low, as if they were rewarding, and they were not polite at all.

This gold owner is really generous, most of the people are not small, the reward is five hundred per person, that year is a large amount, the people in the car don't seem to have a heartache at all, but my attention is not on the money at all, and I am still thinking about who the voice is.

"I have two good things about this person." When the man saw that we had all received the money, he continued calmly. "First, I have always had clear rewards and punishments, as long as I help me find the shell tomb of the Western Han Dynasty in Beibi Mountain, I promised everyone a gopher before, I see that you are working so hard, and you can't lose everyone."

I saw the man slowly drawing two fingers in the car, and there was a commotion all around, and there were not many tomb robbers who could run around and insert branches, and two gold bars would have to work for three or five years if they were lucky, not to mention the tomb robbing business, maybe it would not open for three years.

Money can make ghosts grind, not to mention that the people in the car are so generous, what money can solve is not a thing, and a few words have made the tomb robbers around us eager to try.

"As for the second merit......," the man continued, unhurriedly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the cacophony of voices fell silent at once. I am a person who says yes, that West Hanbei Tomb you can't find it all because my luck has not arrived and no one is wrong, and the reward I should give you will not be less. ”

The man's voice stopped, and there was a dead silence all around, and the more I listened to him, the more sure I was that I had heard this man's voice somewhere, but I don't know why I couldn't remember it.

"If any of you find a place, you plan to fill your pockets and hide it." The voices of the people in the car began to turn cold. "If you take my money and don't do things for me, that's wrong, as I said earlier, I have clear rewards and punishments, and I ...... for such people"

The man didn't say any more, and in the shadows of the car, I saw him slowly raise his hand, and swiped his thumb around his neck, and when he raised his hand, in the faint light, I could still clearly see a pattern obscured by the cuffs.

……

At that moment, my whole body was like being struck by lightning, my body twitched involuntarily, I finally remembered who this person was, he did the same action in front of my father ten years ago, that is the meaning of extinguishing the mouth, no wonder his voice I feel so familiar, this is the voice that I will never be erased by the heart of the inscription, but suddenly I heard that I didn't expect the person in the car to be the enemy who killed my father.

At that time, because I was young, I couldn't remember the tattoo on his wrist, leaving only a vague memory, and I repeatedly sketched the pattern in my mind again and again, just afraid of forgetting.

The biggest reason why I followed Ye Jiuqing to learn to visit the tomb is also this, my father is very likely to be a tomb robber, and most of the people who killed him are also people in this industry, and I have been paying attention to the wrists of every person who comes to the shipper in the pawnshop in the four directions for more than ten years.

I have been looking for this tattoo and voice for more than ten years, but I didn't expect that I would encounter it here, I snatched the shovel in the hands of the field chicken, and was raised by a group of tomb robbers who licked blood from the knife edge in the Sifang pawnshop, and the others dare not say, the blood has never been lacking.

Tian Ji and Gong Jue probably didn't understand what was going on, and when they reacted, I had already walked out and walked straight to the person sitting in the car.

As soon as they got closer, they were blocked by seven or eight people who had been standing in front of the car, and it was probably my angry face and the shovel in my hand that alerted them.

"What are you doing?" The person at the front put their hands on my chest, and the hands of the others were already touching the waist behind me.

I stared blankly at the person in the car, and from the silhouette of the shadow, I was sure that the person was looking at me.

……
