Chapter 206: A Strange Vision
Unconsciously, the car drove into a deserted place, where the yellow sand is thousands of miles, and there is no end in sight, as if you are in the Gobi Desert.
The car had to slow down, the ground was so soft that we couldn't go any further, so we had to get out of the car and walk on foot.
The painting was still floating in the air, leading the way for us, and when we turned around, we saw that we were far, far away from Liang County. I asked Li Yuan, "How long will it take?"
He shook his head and said to me, "I don't know, follow that painting, it will always arrive."
"Could it be that the ancient tomb is under the sand, why has no one come to excavate it for so many days!" Wang Yue asked us suspiciously.
Neither of us could answer, the question was too profound, so we had to shake our heads and continue on our way in silence.
Suddenly, the painting stopped in the sky a few hundred meters in front of us and stopped, we quickened our pace and ran over, at which point the painting fell from the sky and landed in the yellow sand. I picked up the painting, put it away, and looked at Li Yuan: "I should be there, but why is there no entrance?"
Li Yuan pondered for a moment: "I guess the ancient tomb is below, the entrance is probably already sealed, if we want to enter, we must make a passage."
"But how to fight this, we don't have the tools, besides, we haven't determined the location of the tomb yet......" I looked at him blankly. I never thought that one day I would actually do the business of robbing tombs, and doing this kind of thing would damage yin morality, so I was extremely reluctant to enter the ancient tomb, and if I didn't get it, I would encounter zongzi or something, and I had to beware of traps!
"This is a problem, when you go, you are fully prepared, how can you miss the Luoyang shovel!" Li Yuan said with a frown.
"Luoyang shovel? I happen to have one in my car. Wang Yue said to the two of us.
Li Yuan was taken aback: "What, you have it, it's great, bring it quickly."
After a while, Wang Yue came in a hurry, holding a small shovel in her hand.
"This is the Luoyang shovel, it's so exquisite!" I took the shovel from Wang Yue's hand and observed, I had heard more or less rumors about tomb robbery, but I didn't expect the Luoyang shovel to be like this.
"Don't underestimate it, it's the only one to steal the hole! By the way, Sister Xiaoyue, why do you have a Luoyang shovel? Li Yuan snatched the Luoyang in my hand, looked at Wang Yue and asked.
Wang Yue put down her backpack and said to us, "I don't know, it's probably my father who left it in the car, it's been a long time."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder, didn't his father buy this painting with money at the auction house, why did he still have a Luoyang shovel, could it be that his father had also robbed the tomb, or that he had already come to this ancient tomb! I guess Li Yuan must be the same as I think at this moment, but I am afraid that Wang Yue's father is not just like collecting cultural relics......
Li Yuan didn't say anything more, he used the Luoyang shovel to probe the ground everywhere, and finally found a correct position, and began to dig the thief hole with all his might. I have to say that the Luoyang shovel is indeed specially designed for tomb robbery, digging up the soil effortlessly, and after a short period of effort, a large pit more than one person deep has been dug.
Li Yuan was digging underneath, and I was responsible for transporting the soil above, and there was not enough sand underneath the yellow sand, there was a lot of mud and sand mixture, but the soil was very soft, as if it had been dug up before, and it had been filled in again.
Wang Yue stood aside and couldn't intervene, so she could only be responsible for illuminating us. Just as the two of us were working hard, Wang Yue suddenly let out an exclamation, and the flashlight fell to the ground at once.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuan quickly came up, picked up the flashlight and shone it around.
"Yes...... Someone ......" Wang Yue pointed to the left hand side and said to us in horror.
I looked along the way, where there were people, not even a ghost, there was yellow sand everywhere, it was impossible to hide people in this place!
After Li Yuan searched the neighborhood, he handed the flashlight to Wang Yue: "You probably read it wrong, where will there be people in this place."
After saying that, he continued to jump down and began to dig. Wang Yue didn't say a word, but judging from her reaction just now, it seemed that she really saw something. I didn't dare to be careless, so I opened the eye of heaven and searched around for a long time, except for the endless desert, there was only the sound of the whirring wind, not to mention people, not even a fly.
Wang Yue's hands were trembling, and the flashlight was trembling in her hands, shaking more and more. I saw that something was wrong, so I hurriedly approached her and asked her, "What do you see?"
"There, somebody......" she pointed in the same direction, her fearful gaze again.
This time, I turned on the eye of the sky, turned off the flashlight, and when I looked, there was really someone.
I didn't know when it started, and we were already surrounded by people, these people were dressed in strange clothes, but they didn't seem to be coming for us.
"What's the matter?" Li Yuan also came up from below.
I motioned for him not to speak and pointed to the distance for him to look. Li Yuan opened his eyes, and when he saw it, he was also shocked: "These people are illusions......
The crowd carried a man with a rope tied to him, motionless, not knowing if he was dead. As they passed us, I saw another person at the back of the crowd being carried high and also tied with a rope. They walked up to the three of us, and suddenly they were gone!
"What's going on, these people ......" Li Yuan asked, looking at the place where they had disappeared.
"I guess they're the ghosts of the tombs, and the living have intruded into their territory and disturbed them. Wait for us to go down to the ancient tomb, be careful! I turned on the flashlight again and said to them.
"How can Sister Xiaoyue see it, it's really strange!" Li Yuan looked at Wang Yue and said.
Wang Yue shook her head: "I don't know, I seem to have seen ...... picture just now."
Li Yuan shook his head and continued to dig the thief hole. Wang Yue's words made me suddenly feel very uneasy, it stands to reason that it is impossible for an ordinary person to see an illusion, and she actually said that she had seen the illusion just now.
After about an hour, the hole was almost opened, and now it began to stretch diagonally inward, and the entrance could only accommodate one person to pass through. Looking at Li Yuan's skillful movements, I even had some doubts about whether he had done this before, and playing the thief hole was like playing a family for him!
After another hour or so, Li Yuan came out of the cave and said to us, "It's dug through, for the sake of safety, wait a few minutes before going in."
I know the purpose of his doing this is to fill the tomb with fresh air, otherwise if we go in now, the air inside will be thin, and maybe soon we will die of lack of oxygen!
