Big words, big holes echo. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing Yao Wuguan say that there was already a hole below, Li Sangen hurriedly lay down and put his ear on the shovel handle, Yao Wuguan knew what his uncle was going to do, so he removed his hand from the shovel handle, and Li Sangen flicked the shovel handle with his fingers, and the echo bone came into his ears.
Relying on the length of the echo, the three of them determined that there was indeed a hole underneath.
Yao Wuguan kept looking at his uncle, under the starlight, the nephew and uncle were silent, they had already tacitly understood that it had been seven years, and with one look and half a movement, they could communicate with each other, even if they relied on each other's breath, they could figure out each other's thoughts.
The nephew and uncle were in thought at the same time.
If someone has indeed sent this mound, then there is no need to dig it again, the person who arrived first can deceive the three watches and Yao Wuguan, which means that it must be a veteran of the mound, and the treasure in the mound has already been cleaned, and if you dig it down, you can only see a pile of dry bones.
If this mound is special and there is a space left in front of the tomb door, then this tomb is quite large. It has been twenty-five years of working in the three watch mounds, hundreds of mounds, big mounds and small mounds and strange mounds have been seen, but they have never seen the whole soil closed in front of the tomb and there is still an empty mound, and the orthodox imperial tomb is designed like this.
Although he was apprehensive in his heart, Li San rolled the cigarette under his nose and went back and forth for two times, so he reached a consensus with Yao Wuguan and continued to dig, Faqiu said the old saying well, don't knock on the ghost door, don't look back, don't pry the coffin board, don't rest.
Yao Wuguan used the strength of the qi, poked the remaining soil layer open in three times and five times, and the vertical hole was good, Yao Wuguan tied the rope to his waist, and threw the other end to his uncle.
"Five levels, slow down, press the." Li Sangen instructed. Caozi is a hairy jargon that means operating procedures.
Yao Wuguan didn't make a sound, nodded, jumped his body, entered the hole, grabbed the edge of the hole with both hands, and waited for Li San's legs to stand at the entrance of the cave to pull the rope steadily, Yao Wuguan withdrew his hands, and Li Sangen slowly lowered Yao Wuguan.
It is estimated that when he descended to five or six feet, Yao Wuguan turned on the lighter and shook the rope three times clockwise, which is the rope language, which means that he can be quickly brought down.
The three orioles received the signal and quickly put the rope. Yao Wuguan soon reached the bottom of the cave.
After landing, Yao Wuguan stood firmly, observed the flames, and saw that the flames did not weaken, and it was not difficult to breathe, indicating that the oxygen in the cave was sufficient, and he held the lighter and shook it around.
There is indeed a hole below, the space around Yao Wuguan is very wide, the hole is three meters high, the hole has been extended, the trend is downward, turn around and shake again, sure enough, there is a stone gate, the stone gate is about two meters high.
Yao Wuguan held the lighter and looked carefully along the side of the door, and found that the single stone door was tightly fitted, and there were no traces of being smashed or pryed, so he was relieved.
The scale can be judged from the tomb door, this tomb is indeed a princely tomb as he judged before, but it must not be an imperial tomb, and the imperial tomb door is not a single leaf, but a double door.
Then look at the stone beasts on both sides of the door, it is two hunting dog shapes, it seems that the tomb owner likes dogs in his lifetime, or likes to hunt, if it is the imperial tomb, will not use stone dogs to guard the tomb, but should be a stone lion or unicorn.
At the left door frame, a stone drum protrudes, about 30 centimeters in diameter, and text looms on the drum surface.
Yao Wuguan wiped it with his sleeve, several big seals were exposed, Yao Wuguan looked at it according to what he had learned, and recognized a few words as "drumming into the hall", after careful consideration, Yao Wuguan understood the meaning, if you want to open the tomb door, you must beat the drum.
With what knock? How many knocks?
These are very particular, and they can't be tinkered with, because they will touch the self-protection organs of the tomb and hurt their lives.
Holding a lighter and taking a picture around, Yao Wuguan did not find the drumstick, nor did he find a crack prompt.
Since the drum enters the hall, it is still necessary to look for clues from the drum, Yao Wuguan took out a piece of linen, unscrewed the water bag and poured out the water to wet the linen, carefully wiped the entire stone drum, wiped all the soil, after the stone drum saw the water, the four words of the drum into the hall unexpectedly disappeared, Yao Wuguan stared at the drum surface tightly, he guessed that the old words disappeared, and there must be new words.
But after waiting for three puffs of cigarettes, no new words appeared, Yao Wuguan poured water on the linen cloth again and wiped the drum surface.
Rub it, and the word "reckless" is displayed on the drum surface.
Rub it again, "teeth".
Then rub, "for".
Then rub, "mallet".
Wipe it one by one, and display "this", "pro", "allow", and "sacrifice" in turn.
Connect all the words, "Mangya is a mallet, and my relatives allow sacrifices", the meaning is very clear, that is, to find Mangya, beat the drum, the tomb door can be opened, and only the relatives of the family can go in to worship.
Finding the reckless tooth is a top priority, Yao Wuguan touched the top of the lintel, but did not find it, and carefully investigated the threshold, but there was still no.
I thought about it, I thought about it, I found a cigarette kung fu, but it still didn't work.
Yao Wuguan had no choice but to look down the diagonal hole, and after walking more than ten steps, Yao Wuguan's feet slipped.
Fortunately, he had practiced light exercises, and when his body fell to the ground, Yao Wuguan supported the ground with one hand, jumped up slightly, felt sticky on his hand, and put it in front of the lighter to take a look, the liquid translucent stuck to his hand like a fish mucous membrane, Yao Wuguan was startled, and then a gust of wind approached the flame of the fire.
In just an instant, a big mouth struck Yao Wuguan's door.
If Yao Wuguan didn't move, that big mouth could completely swallow Yao Wuguan's entire head.
I have practiced martial arts for seven years, and I use it today. Yao Wuguan's entire body immediately leaned back, and at the same time drew his knife, pointing the tip of the knife upward.
The body of the coming object was huge, and when he pounced on Yao Wuguan, he couldn't contain his inertia, his body rushed forward, and the blade stood up just to cut into the body, only to hear the sound of sizzling dissection.
The thing was huge, and the power was great, Yao Wuguan couldn't hold the handle of the knife with one hand, so he had to throw the lighter and hold the knife in both hands.
After three puffs of smoke, the incoming thing stopped rushing forward and lay motionless on the ground, pressing Yao Wuguan underneath.
Yao Wuguan's face was attached to the object, it was cold and cold, and the body fluid seeped from the scratch and soaked into Yao Wuguan's mouth, so bitter that Yao Wuguan almost vomited.
Fortunately, after practicing hard qigong, Yao Wuguan was not crushed and his internal organs were not crushed, he struggled to squeeze out from under the body of the object, and lay down exhaustively beside the giant body panting and resting for a while, and took out the spare lighter from the treasure bag.
When Yao Wuguan saw the body of the object, he was really shocked into a cold sweat again.
A giant python lies in front of him, with a thick body and intricate patterns.
Yao Wuguan stood in front of the python corpse, the python was as tall as the root of Yao Wuguan's thigh, and it was roughly estimated that this giant python weighed 2,000 kilograms.
Rubbed the blade on the giant python, put the knife into the sheath, Yao Wuguan licked his lips, the bitterness was unbearable, and suddenly, a text in the "Chronicle of Heavenly Officials" jumped into his mind, "The big snake takes gall, and after eating, the eyes are clear, and you can see things in the secluded world."
With all his strength, Yao Wuguan turned over the gall bladder of the python corpse, pulled out the dagger, cut off the snake gall and swallowed it.
As soon as the snake gallbladder fell into the stomach, the body was sweet and cold, and then the stomach boiled, like a boiling pot, forcing Yao Wuguan to extinguish the fire, sit down and run the true qi in the dark, urging the snake gallbladder essence to spread all over the body, and soon, the body returned to normal, and when Yao Wuguan opened his eyes again, he suddenly found that the darkness around him was now faintly visible, and it was as described in the book.
The next step was to seize the time to take his teeth and beat the drum, Yao Wuguan turned around and walked towards the tomb door.
Turning the corner, Yao Wuguan was stunned again, he found that the tomb door opened by itself, and walked quickly to the tomb door, Yao Wuguan understood the reason.
It turned out that after the python rushed forward, it was cut off by Yao Wuguan, the python could not control itself, and hit the tomb door headlong, just the python tooth knocked on the stone drum surface, and directly knocked on the tomb door.
Glanced at the python teeth, the python teeth glowed with stainless steel, it would take a hundred years to generate, it must be a treasure to ward off evil spirits and defend oneself, but at the moment, Yao Wuguan did not move, he was worried that if the python teeth were pulled out, the tomb door would automatically close, and it would be very difficult to open it again. After a while, after the tomb was washed, even the one in the mouth of the giant python and the drum face were pulled out and taken away.
On the hanging rope, he shook it three times from the left and three times from the right, and told his uncle in rope language that the following was safe and that he could come down to wash the grave.
