Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Emperor's Tomb

The fat man is also a man, he was bitten like this and was stunned without saying a word, we didn't bring any bandages to stop bleeding, Cha Wenbin burned a few incense sticks on the spot, collected a small handful of incense ash and pressed it on the fat man's wound. At that moment, the fat man was so painful that he even had to straighten his mouth, and he pulled some strips of cloth from his clothes and tied them, so that he could be stopped.

"Do you know what you bite?"

The fat man didn't see it clearly, anyway, he knew that he was bitten: "I don't know, anyway, I estimate that if I slow down one or two beats, my Shi family will be at the end." ”

"Eighty percent of the things in this water are fish." Cha Wenbin looked at the unpaid river ditch and said, "Let's just try once." ”

He has a small cloth bag on his body, and there is a row of silver needles in the cloth bag, Taoist priests have understood Chinese medicine since ancient times, and Cha Wenbin has also learned a lot from Ma Sufeng. He roasted the silver needle on the fire, and when it was red, he bent it into a fishhook, removed the thread from his garment, and broke the rest of the bread a little, and hung it on the hook, and threw it into the water.

After about half a minute at first, there was still no movement in the water, but the fat man's mouth was still injured: "It only eats meat, not noodles, why don't you cut it off my leg a little more?" ”

"Okay, I'll come!"

"Shhhhh......h I saw that his hand was violently lifted upward, but the fish did not come up, and the line was broken.

But that alone was enough, because the thing had been lured out of the water, a palm-sized fish, Cha Wenbin really saw it.

"Piranha?" I've heard the name of this fish, and it is said that if a cow falls into the water and is besieged by this fish, it only takes a minute for only one skeleton to remain.

The fat man took the golden hairpin and said: "The water is full of treasures, and his mother should have thought of it, use this method to prevent tomb robbery, the first time I heard it, let Lao Tzu go back and get some fish vine essence, and destroy them all in minutes!" ”

"Come on, it's still fish vine essence, it's a matter whether you can go out or not now."

Cha Wenbin said: "It is estimated that the fat man was pricked in the foot and the fish smelled blood, but I think we may have found a way out." ”

"Where?" I asked the fat man in unison.

"In the water!" Cha Wenbin analyzed: "If I were the owner of the tomb here, I would definitely design it like this, the water here is brought in from the dark river outside, and the fat man went into the water and found that there were burial goods and coffins in the water, which proves that someone was indeed buried here." We've looked for it, and it's such a big place. The only thing beyond our sight is the water, and the biggest possibility is here, in fact, if we can find a way to block the source of the water here, then this anti-theft ditch will naturally be useless. ”

The fat man shook his head again and again, "This ...... Cha Ye, we are not reincarnated by Dayu, you let us go to control the water, forget it......"

I think Cha Wenbin's statement can be tried: "How do you know if you don't try?" The entrance to this river is only two meters wide, don't we bring a sapper shovel! ”

"Xiao Xia Ye, there are all stones here, there is no mud for you to shovel, when you block this dark river, we should freeze to death if we don't starve to death."

Cha Wenbin asked the fat man: "We can't block the two-meter-wide river, what about the half-meter-wide one?" ”

"Barely a try."

"That's easy, I've seen it, this is a canal dug according to the rivers of the land of China, so according to the map of China, the direction of the two rivers will eventually lead to the sea in the east. Generally speaking, if our country wants to say that it is respected, the first choice must be the Yellow River, then we will find the Yellow River here, and then find the estuary of the Yellow River, if I am the owner of the tomb, I will definitely design it this way! ”

"And where is his coffin?"

Cha Wenbin said: "I'm thinking about one thing, what did Zhou Ziyuan come here for? Shangri-La? I don't think so, the designer of his ancestral hall is by no means an ordinary person, and he has the same designer as this tomb. Let's assume that it is, so what is the biggest task that Zhou Ziyuan was sent here? ”

"You're saying he's been sent to guard the grave?"

"It is very likely that the hundreds of coffins placed in the ancestral hall of the Zhou family are all some highly respected people, but these people can only have one fate when they are sent to the ancestral hall after death, that is, they will be trapped in it forever and cannot be reincarnated." Cha Wenbin continued: "I have long had doubts, it is problematic to make an ancestral hall with a Qimen Dunjia, which generation of descendants does not look forward to their ancestors as soon as possible and has to send their ancestors into the trap, there is only one reason: everyone does not know the truth of that ancestral hall!" ”

"That Zhou Ziyuan is really a pit, get such a thing and trap everyone in it to accompany him."

"I suspect that Zhou Ziyuan was also cheated, he is a first-class official in the imperial court and a civil official, so there is no need to doubt his loyalty. Sending him to guard such a tomb, the level of the owner of this tomb can be imagined. And the designer of this tomb has thought about it for a long time, fat man, what is the highest level of tomb you have ever done in Xi'an? ”

"I just came back from the Northeast in the year, I really couldn't do it, I went home and got into trouble and went to Xi'an to worship the Ding family Liu Sanye to be the most inferior person, I got the highest level is that winter, it is said to be a Tang Dynasty general tomb, from the three products, the things in it were loaded with three baskets at that time."

"For you, what if you find an imperial relative, or even an emperor's tomb?"

The fat man rolled up his sleeves: "Then you still need to ask, wait, Cha Ye, you won't say that there is an emperor buried here, right?" ”

When Cha Wenbin said this, even I was shocked: "The one who can make a first-class official guard the tomb is not the emperor, but at least the queen mother!" ”

"And no matter who he is, Zhou Ziyuan is clearly recorded as an official of the Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty moved to the Southern Song Dynasty, and the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time was in Lin'an, but the Northern Song Dynasty was in Kaifeng. If it were me, I would definitely put the coffin in the open position, that is, there. Cha Wenbin pointed to a bend in the river not far away and said: "Kaifeng is near the Yellow River, and it should be the most reasonable to be buried there." ”

"But there are fish ...... underwater" The fat man has obviously learned the power of that strange fish, indeed, the underwater situation is unknown now, even if Cha Wenbin deduces that there is a coffin of the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty there, we may not be able to catch it.

Cha Wenbin picked up the sapper shovel on the fat man's back and said: "Hurry up, the volume of the coffin should be very large, if we fill it with stones in the position of the coffin, we can greatly shorten the amount of work, the rocks here are mostly limestone, if you work hard, it may work." ”

The fat man struggled to get up and said, "Leave this matter to me, I'll be responsible for digging, and you two will be responsible for moving stones." ”

I was a little worried and said, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's better than waiting to die!" As he spoke, the fat man limped towards the stone wall next to him, while Cha Wenbin went to his estimated position and threw small stones into the water to locate them.

Constantly throwing large and small stones into the water, I really think we have a little bit of foolish meaning to move mountains, but fortunately, Cha Wenbin's estimate is accurate, only after about three hours, a small seal was completed by us, but the gap between the stones will still let the water flow downstream, at this time, Cha Wenbin made a ruinous decision: everyone took off their clothes!

It was winter, and we were wearing a lot of sweaters, padded jackets, and autumn pants, and when the three men were only left with **, we stuffed all these clothes into the temporary dam, and finally barely blocked them.

At this time, the water level downstream of the dam began to recede rapidly, and then the water surface began to jump without stopping, and by this time it had been twelve hours since we entered the pit, and it should have been dawn outside.

A huge coffin, about three meters long and one and a half meters wide, gradually emerged from the water, and its surface was attached to a thick layer of white silt, which was a deposit of limestone. The fat man jumped on the coffin and brushed away the mud with his hands, and immediately a golden relief appeared underneath, and even I could tell that it was the tail of a phoenix......

"It's really going to be sent!" The fat man was excited to ignore his pain, and knocked on the inside of the golden coffin with his hand to make a "dong dong" sound, this guy immediately took this sapper shovel and wanted to shovel a corner, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin and said: "Don't get it, if there is a gap, we really can't get out." ”

The fat man looked back, the water level on the temporary dam had begun to rise, as far as the little broken stones we piled up were estimated to not be long, at this time the water level downstream was basically revealed, countless black palm-sized fish jumped back and forth in the ditch, that sharp teeth were like sharp knives, at this time even if the elephant turned around and went down, it was estimated that it would be gnawed clean.

Not to mention the bottom of those fish, there were countless large and small boxes scattered, and some utensils included in the silt, some of which were already exposed, and a miner's lamp swept over, and the whole small ditch was full of jewels, and that guy could almost blind people's eyes.

The fat man and I have all these things in our eyes, but there is a problem, these things are in the ditch, but the fish are still there, it's like a lion with its mouth open, and it has a stack of dollars in its mouth, are you going to take it? Or don't you take it?

This is going to make me and the fat man anxious!

Cha Wenbin didn't seem to be interested in these things at all, but immediately ran downstream, and then shouted over there: "Come here, you two don't look at that useless, if you don't leave, we will freeze to death!" ”

Twenty meters down from this dam, a fence was exposed, from which all the water went out, and it was said to be a fence, which was a copper plate, and the surface of the copper plate was made with a small hole slightly thinner than a finger, which was somewhat similar to the current sewer hard manhole cover. When we saw that thing revealed, we knew we might be saved!
