It's better to take action than to move, we definitely want to go to the island in the middle of the river to take a walk. We also have to make some final preparations before entering the water.

All the equipment backpacks, we wrap them in large plastic bags that we carry with us, and put everything else into the backpack except for the necessary things, so that we can achieve a primary waterproof effect.

I carried a dagger with me, a replica pistol reloaded, and everything else stuffed into my backpack. When I was preparing, I suddenly saw Song Jin take out a few parts from his bag, as if it were two steel bars, I saw him butt the steel bars to a handle, and it turned out to be a steel recurve bow, and then took out the bowstring and put it on the bow like a magic spell and began to adjust.

I'm curious why this Song Jin can play everything, this kind of thing can be taken out, Tinker Bell! When the pit saw Song Jin's bow, he said happily: "Master Song, are you going down to play cotton?" Or do you want to make a bed quilt for our brother? ”

Song Jin did not respond, but continued to adjust the recurve bow in his hand. After a while, Song Jin picked up the bow and opened the string and tried to aim, before the adjustment was completed. A black leather quiver is carried diagonally behind him, with the upper end of the quiver revealing the feathers for easy access.

I saw Song Jin like this, not like a tomb robber, but like an ancient inhabitant, preparing to go out hunting. In other words, if this kind of equipment had been shown earlier, we would not have been chased by wolves so badly.

After everything was done, the four of us stood by the river together, and those of us who didn't know thought we were looking for a short view.

Lao Zhao is in front, I am close behind, the pit is third, and Song enters the palace. Paddle with one hand and drag your gear towards the center of the river with the other. Now is the flood season, the water level is a little high, the water quality of the pit is not good, I have been worried that the water is too deep, and I am too low to drown myself, so I work hard to jump forward. When I saw him like this, I deliberately slowed down, and I wanted to turn into a fish and swim over.

The river is not particularly wide, and you reach the middle of the lake in a few minutes. I could clearly feel the riverbed elevated, and my body gradually stepped out of the water, until finally the water was knee-deep. By this time we had reached the island in the middle of the river, and our whole foot was completely sunk in the mud.

In order to determine the condition under my feet, I carried the equipment to the pit and squatted into the water. The visibility in the water is not very good, and I can only see a muddy piece, so I have no choice but to give up. I stood up and exhaled a long breath and wiped a handful of water from my face. I saw that Song Jin was holding a probe in his hand, handed it to me, and said, "If Brother Ling can't see it, you can try this." ”

I thought so, and let me try again. I re-entered the water with a probe in my hand, poked it into the mud, and tried again and again to see if I could get anything. Everywhere I could touch was mud. I didn't give up, and poked most of the probe into the mud, when I felt something the other side of the probe, which I guess was a stone. I stood up and described the situation to them.

Lao Zhao was silent for a moment, thinking that this was most likely where the entrance was, and first we had to confirm the size of the stone. As a result, several of us split up and used probes to probe. In the end, it was determined that the area of the stone was a few square meters, and the thickness was not good, it should be about 20 centimeters. Obviously, the whole stone is an artificial stone slab. It is conservatively estimated that it also weighs several tons.

I was very disappointed by this result, if such a thing pressed against the entrance, with the strength of the four of us, we would not be able to move it in any way, and besides, even if we moved it, the river would flow into the mouth, and we would still not be able to go down at that time. Could it be that this operation has failed like this?

I told Lao Zhao about my worries, but I didn't expect Lao Zhao to be in no hurry at all, but looked at me with a smile. I thought to myself that Lao Zhao should be stupid, he can still laugh at this time, or pretend to be calm.

Lao Zhao patted me on the shoulder and said, "Brother Ling, don't worry, what are we doing, this is what the Drill Dragon does, and I am relieved to see how I move this doorstone." ”

Lao Zhao looked around, walked back and forth in the water a few times, pondered for a while, and said, "To remove the door stone, let's clean up the silt first." Brother Ling and Brother Niu, you two use shovels to shovel the silt, and the upstream one is shoveled first. Then he beckoned Song Jin to him and whispered a few words, then Song Jin nodded, and actually walked to the river bank again.

I can't figure out what kind of medicine is sold in Lao Zhao's gourd, let's do our own work first. One of us and the pit took a sapper shovel and started shoveling the mud, and after a while we were sweating profusely, but fortunately we were standing in the water, otherwise I was really worried about heat stroke.

Lao Zhao carried all the equipment in his hands, stood aside and watched us work, sometimes commanding. Suddenly, I felt that we were the same as the coolies hired by Lao Zhao. After digging for more than half an hour, Lao Zhao asked us to stop. This life almost killed me and the pit.

Stopping what he was doing, he looked up and saw Song Jin pushing sections of rotten wood into the water. There was already a large pile of dry wood on the shore, long and short, thick and thin, and I don't know how this thing could find such a pile of broken ones in such a short time.

Seeing Song Jin entering the water, Lao Zhao instructed us to go over to help. The pit and I went to move the wood, but Song Jin dropped the wood and went to Lao Zhao, and the two of them began to talk to each other again. The pit took a sip and said, "The relationship just uses the two of us, this old man Zhao is slippery enough." I comforted the pit to calm down, and the pit snorted and didn't say anything more.

When I looked back, I saw Lao Zhao holding the remaining rope in his hand, and the whole person dived into the water, saying that he was diving, but because of the depth of the water, he could still see a little. I suddenly felt that this scene was so funny, like a wild duck in a pond. While he was thinking wildly, Lao Zhao straightened up and shouted to me and the pit: "Get the wood." ”

The pit and I carried the wood to the center of the river, and Song Jin tied the wood with a rope, and then we got a second one, and so on many times, more and more wood was tied to the rope, and it was like a boat.

As more and more wood grows, so does the buoyancy it bears. The pressing stone finally began to move slowly under the action of huge tension. As the distance of movement became larger and larger, a hole appeared under the stone, and the river was frantically pouring into the hole, Lao Zhao shouted: Be careful of the whirlpool. Before I could react, my feet slipped and I was swept into the hole by the swirling river. My mind went blank, and now the game is over. Immediately after me was rushed in was the pit and Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao was carrying an equipment bag in his hand, it was difficult to adjust his posture, and he was washed more miserably.

The last one to come in was Song Jin. That's right, it's coming in, not rushing in. I saw Song Jin holding the rope that tied the wood just now in his hand, and he was also carrying a sapper shovel in his hand, and the entrance to the cave was cleverly blocked with dead wood when he came in. Although the blockage is not particularly tight, at least it is not like the noisy pouring water into it just now.

Seeing that Song Jin had solved the crisis at the entrance of the cave, I began to observe my surroundings. It turned out that the bottom of the slab was covered with a stone chamber. The stone chamber is not very large, and it is only 30 square meters. There is the sound of running water in the stone room, I use my hand to take a photo, I found that there are ditches on both sides of the stone room, look carefully, there is a supply water source, two stone heads are embedded in the stone wall, and the water sprayed out of the water happens to fall into the ditch. Perhaps because of the long-term impact, or intentionally, the depth of the ditch is very large, and the strong flashlight cannot shine to the end. I asked Lao Zhao if the ditch was too deep, and Lao Zhao said that it was not that the ditch was too deep to see the bottom, but that the bottom stone was black, absorbing the light of the flashlight.

I took a closer look, maybe it was really what Lao Zhao said. A few large fish swam past the light, and they did not react to the light at all, perhaps because they had lived in the dark for a long time and had degenerated. The fish here are very large, perhaps because they have no natural predators, so they are able to grow without restrictions.

Suddenly, the pit patted me on the shoulder and said, "There seems to be someone in the corner over there." ”

I said don't make trouble, there's a ghost in this kind of place. As soon as the words came out, I felt an inexplicable chill behind me, and I realized that I had lost my words. Lao Zhao obviously also found the "person" in the corner of the wall and signaled us to be vigilant.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and I didn't know if the person who came was a human or a ghost. I saw that it had its head down, and it couldn't see its face clearly, so it stood by the wall. Looking at the body type, the size is not small.

I had a flashlight in one hand and a replica pistol in the other. Lao Zhao hid the dagger behind him. The pit still has the old gun in his hand, which will estimate that the barrel will be soaked. In contrast, Song Jin's weapon was more traditional, with a recurve bow being drawn and an arrow pointing straight at the opponent.

The four of them slowly moved forward, and when they were about five meters away, Lao Zhao arched his hand and said: "Tucheng Zhongda Restaurant, heroes from all walks of life will meet, ask the chivalrous man what school he is, and how many hometown dishes can he order?" "This is a code word in the tomb robbery industry, which means: We have all taken a fancy to the treasures in this tomb, and we don't want to meet here, I don't know which part you are, what is the local food?

If the other party also answers in black words, it means that the other party is also a drill dragon, peers, and as long as everyone takes different things, most of them will not have any conflicts, and they will be safe. If the other party can't understand the black language, it undoubtedly means that he is an outsider, or a stunned young newcomer.

After Lao Zhao's words were released, the other party did not answer, and still stood like that, as if he hadn't heard it. The pit said, "I can't be a dumb person, I can't speak." ”

I said that what you said was not right, that if yes, he should be deaf in the first place, and act as if he didn't hear at all.

After a few minutes of stalemate, there was still no response, and as soon as Lao Zhao raised his hand, the dagger behind him went straight to the heart of the man.

The sound of "poof" is like sticking to a mess of quilts. The pit breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be a dead one, I scared my father to death, and I thought I had seen a ghost." ”

"Don't fuck, shut up." I don't know where the anger came from, and I yelled at the pit.

Since it was dead, we all collected our weapons and walked straight to the corpse. Only the pit was still holding the gun in both hands, and when he saw that we all put away our weapons, but he couldn't put them away, he scolded angrily "". Lao Zhao reminded us to pay attention to our feet, be careful when stepping on the mechanism, don't touch our hands randomly, and touch anything that shouldn't be touched is enough for us to drink a pot.

Lao Zhao stretched out his hand and pulled out the dagger, and gently peeled off the hair covering his face with a knife, and his head had all turned into skeletons, leaving only a few black holes. Judging by the body type, the deceased was supposed to be male, and judging by his hair accessories and attire, he was not a modern person. This person doesn't know why he died here, presumably this corpse has been placed here for hundreds of years, but today we found it and was stabbed by Lao Zhao.

The corpse's clothes were already rotten, and when they were lightly touched with a knife, they turned into pieces. In addition to this one, there was also a corpse with him back to back. Presumably had a good relationship before his death, and he supported each other after death. The other body was a little farther away, the lower half of its body soaked in the ditch, the part of the ditch was extraordinarily white, and the bones of the foot had long since disappeared. The thought of the fish here, growing up eating the flesh of dead people, makes me feel sick.

The pit used the barrel of a gun to pull a knife out of the corpse. A very common ancient weapon, the scabbard is completely decayed, and only the metal ring on it can still be seen. The blade of the knife has rusted with the metal ring, and it is more of an iron lump than a knife.

Lao Zhao looked at the knife and kept muttering: "It's not right, it's wrong?" It shouldn't be......" I hurriedly asked him what he was talking about, what was wrong or something, and he waved his hand and ignored me. After a while, he said to himself: "This is not a Yuan person, the weapon of the Mongolian cavalry is a relatively special Mongolian scimitar, and this knife is completely a Han knife in terms of style, which does not conform to common sense, unless it is ......"

"Unless what?" I asked.

"Unless this tomb was not built by the Yuan people at all, there is no Northern Yuan prince here."

"How come, could it be such a coincidence? Could there be other possibilities? ”

"I'll think again, let me think again." Lao Zhao said.

I was lost, but I saw that the pit was still being pulled, and after a while, some tattered pieces came out, a metal belt buckle mixed with a mess of broken cloth, a jade pendant that was not high-end, and a wooden board that was about to rot.

The pit quickly cleaned the jade pendant aside and asked me how much it was worth, I looked at it and told him that although it was an antiquity, the texture was not very good, which was equivalent to an ancient stall. The pit was very disappointed when he heard this, but he immediately got up again and continued to search for the contents of the corpse. My attention was on the decaying wooden board, which was called a waist card in ancient times, and if I could read the words on this waist card, I would be able to know the identity of the corpse. I flipped the board with my dagger, and the handwriting was blurry to the point of being illegible. You can only see that the sides are decorated with patterns, and there are several small seals inside. It was impossible to take it away from it, so I had to memorize the shape of the brand.

After the pit was scoured for the body, nothing of value was found, so I had to stop. Lao Zhao saw the jade pendant found in the pit and shook his head, meaning that it was not a treasure. The pit looked dazed, not knowing what to do.

The accidental discovery of the body caused us a little delay. What's more serious is that we don't know now if this is the tomb of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty that we are looking for.

"Isn't there any difference, it's a tomb, there's a treasure, isn't it enough." ”

When I thought about it, what the pit said made sense, anyway, we only robbed the tomb, and we didn't say anything in advance or rob the tomb according to the contract. Thinking about it like this, my heart is relieved again, a lot, and I look at Lao Zhao again, but I still frown, and my face seems to be a little more worried. Song Jin stood beside him and didn't say a word.

In the end, we decided that, no matter what, we would be safe and go ahead first. So we crossed over the bones of several ancients and continued to move forward, and the things pulled out of the pit were all put back to the corpses, hesitated, and even put down the jade pendant on the ground, and folded our hands, bowed, and muttered: "Ancients, I won't take your things, you must bless me in the spirit of heaven to find more treasures." ”

After passing the corpse, and walking a few more meters, a square door more than a person high opened in the wall at the top. Presumably this is the entrance to the tomb. Shine a flashlight into the tomb, the depth is bottomless, the whole tomb is full of cold, God knows how long this tomb is. The four of us lined up in a vertical row, and Lao Zhao walked on the top side with a probe rod in his hand, and moved into this underground corridor little by little, heading towards the tomb.
