Chapter Seventy-One: Finding the Secret Path
After visiting the various scenic spots of Qianling, Professor Dong led everyone to an iron gate halfway up the southeast slope of the north peak.
Professor Dong pointed to the iron gate and said to everyone: "This is the entrance to the main tomb of Qianling that has been discovered, and after the May Day holiday, the Qianling Management Office will close the entire Qianling Scenic Area in the name of cleaning up the garbage in the scenic area, and then we will take this opportunity to enter the Qianling Tomb from here." ”
Yu Fei looked through the iron door, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
At this time, Ye Lao said: "By the way, Brother Dong, this time we came in advance, and there is one more thing, from the secret map of the Qianling Tomb, we found that there is a secret passage under the Rufeng on the southwest side that can go directly to the Qianling, which should be the life gate left by the master builder who built the Qianling Tomb. I want to take advantage of these few days to find out this side road, which may come in handy at that time. ”
When Professor Dong heard this, he said excitedly: "Brother, you have really discovered another secret passage!" I knew it! I knew it! There has always been more than one entrance to the large imperial tombs, and there must be other entrances to this Qianling, but they have not been found. Unexpectedly, this entrance turned out to be a few kilometers away under the milk peak. ”
"However, it is not easy to find this side road in these few days, and now it is the peak tourist season, and there are many people who come to Qianling, so it is not convenient to excavate."
At this time, Ding Laosan smiled and said: "It's inconvenient during the day, you can come and find it at night!" I'm 50% sure of the approximate location of this entrance, and I believe it shouldn't be difficult to find its exact location. ”
"How do you find it at night?" Professor Dong forgot for a while that this Ding Laosan was originally the master of tomb exploration and gold, and he had always been active at night. But he immediately understood again, smiled knowingly at Ding Laosan, and said, "Hehe, then you can only work hard Brother Ding." ”
"However, if you find the entrance to this secret passage, I hope that Dong Lao can keep it secret from the outside world first, especially not to let Wang Qi and Lei Kun know." Ding Laosan still has a grudge against the two of them.
Professor Dong was stunned: "What does Brother Ding mean......?" ”
"Hehe, I think Dong Lao can also see that there is some mustard between me and these two people, but this is not the point, the point is that I think they came to this Qianling this time, I'm afraid they have another purpose."
"What do you mean by that?"
"That Wang Qi's nickname is 'Iron Hand Tai Sui', and he was originally a well-known figure in the Dao, and that Lei Kun was also a master of the evil sect, but now these two are willing to nest in this local cultural relics bureau, do you believe that they are really just a mouthful of food?"
"You mean, they came for the treasure in the Qianling?" Ding Laosan's words made Professor Dong nervous all of a sudden, the Qianling Tomb is full of national treasures, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes.
Ye Lao said on the side: "This is just the third child's speculation, of course, this possibility is not ruled out." But Brother Dong, you don't have to worry, we will keep an eye on them when the time comes, besides, the things in Qianling are not so easy to take out. ”
Hearing Ye Lao say this, Professor Dong nodded, but he was thinking in his heart: "I hope that the Qianling survey activity I proposed this time is not to lure wolves into the house, otherwise, I will become a sinner through the ages." ”
It was close to noon when they returned to the guest house. Knowing that Professor Dong led Ye Lao and the three of them to Qianling early in the morning, Wang Qi and Lei Kun were obviously a little dissatisfied, but Professor Dong explained that they were just going to visit, and they didn't want to say anything more.
When Luo Zi saw Yu Fei, he immediately shouted: "You kid is too boring!" Don't call me to visit Qianling! ”
Yu Fei hurriedly explained: "Hehe, we are looking at you to drive too hard in the past two days, Ye Lao said to let you all sleep a little longer." ”
As soon as it came to sleeping, Luo Zi immediately yawned, he thought about it, he was really tired in the past two days, and he actually slept until more than ten o'clock this morning before getting up, and according to his usual habits, he usually got up after six o'clock.
The old ghost and the praying mantis were still lying on the bed at this time, and Ding Laosan was a little annoyed when he saw it, and shouted to Ding Hao: "Go quickly!" Drag those two boys up for me, it's almost time to eat lunch and I haven't seen anyone, it's a shame to throw them home. ”
Ye Lao said on the side: "Let the two of them sleep again, recuperate and recharge before they can work." Just keep them for lunch. ”
Ding Laosan understood what Ye Lao meant that he had to stay up all night tonight to find the secret passage. Thinking about it, he called Ding Hao, and the two of them continued to sleep until it was dark.
After nightfall, Ding Laosan sneaked out with Ding Hao, the old ghost and the praying mantis. In order not to make Wang Qi and Lei Kun suspicious, Yu Fei and Luo Zi deliberately spoke loudly in the room to attract their attention, while Ye Lao and Professor Dong set up a chess game in the hall.
Wang Qi never saw Ding Laosan appear, and became suspicious, so he pretended to watch Ye Lao and Professor Dong play chess, and asked casually on the side: "Why didn't Ding Sanye and his apprentices see each other?" ”
Ye Lao replied while playing chess: "I should have slept already, their master and apprentice can't do anything else, but they can sleep!" ”
Wang Qiyi thought of the old ghost and the praying mantis sleeping until noon today, and he no longer doubted it, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: "This Ding Laosan and several of his apprentices are all pigs!" ”
Ding Laosan took Ding Hao, the old ghost and the praying mantis to the Qianling Scenic Area, and went straight to the Milk Peak on the southwest side. At the foot of this milk peak, Ding Laosan circled a piece of land according to the approximate location shown in the secret map of Qianling and began to look for it. It's a whole night......
The next morning, when Ding Laosan and the others returned to their residence, they happened to be bumped into by Wang Qi.
As soon as he saw Ding Laosan and the others covered in mud, Wang Qi suddenly chuckled in his heart: "Oops, it seems that I was deceived by Old Man Ye last night." ”
Ding Laosan saw Wang Qi and said with a smile: "Hehe, the seventh master got up early today." ”
"Humph! How could Ding Sanye get up early, looking like this, it seems that the work has been done. Wang Qi said coldly.
Ding Laosan didn't bother to say more to Wang Qi, he smiled again, and walked directly past Wang Qi.
Wang Qi was hung there, and his heart was anxious and angry.
Professor Dong and Ye Lao were dining in the restaurant, and Ding Laosan didn't change his clothes, so he ran directly to them and sat down, and said excitedly: "I found it!" A secret passage more than 200 meters long! However, there is a stone door in this secret passage, which seems to be able to only be opened from inside the Qianling. ”
Professor Dong was a little disappointed when he heard this: "I originally thought that it might be easier to enter Qianling through this secret passage!" It was dangerous to enter through the main tombway. ”
"Speaking of this, I also wanted to ask Brother Dong, the state had set up a Qianling excavation committee in the early sixties of the last century, why did it stop just excavating the main tomb of the Qianling underground palace, what happened at the beginning?" Ye Lao asked curiously.
Professor Dong looked around and replied in a low voice: "This matter has always been listed as a high state secret, when the excavation of the main tomb road, I encountered a King Kong wall, according to the tomb opening method at that time, it was to use explosives to directly blow up the King Kong wall, but Premier Zhou personally instructed that it was not allowed to use explosives to carry out destructive excavation of the Qianling. Just when everyone was at a loss, a young archaeological team member found a secret door in a corner of the King Kong Wall, after opening the secret door, everyone was excited, ready to enter the Qianling underground palace, but just walked not far inside, an accident happened. Of the nineteen people who went in, only five came out alive, and two of them died not long after. ”
