Chapter 5 Distress

Hu Wan should be regarded as an old tomb robber, and so far, Lao Wu can't tell who Hu Wan is and how old he is. The only thing I know is that Hu Wan, the old man, has a good way of visiting the tomb and fixing the grave, and he is also very insidious and suspicious, even if he is an apprentice who has been with him for many years, it is difficult to gain his trust. Every time he robbed the tomb, no matter what the situation was underneath, he would definitely go into the tomb in person and take those valuable objects, all the things, he needed to walk under his nose to rest assured.

It is said that Hu Wan took three apprentices back then, and under the guise of a leather businessman, he stole many ancient tombs in Xianyang and Xi'an, Shaanxi. Later, the group went to Danfeng County in Shangluo and went to the county to chat with the locals, but they overheard that there was a dome-domed masonry tomb in the Qinling Mountains twenty miles to the south. It is said that the owner of the tomb is a member of the second grade, before his death life was extremely extravagant, after his death buried in the area of the old Songshan, at that time there was a large area of cemetery on the ground, the dome of the masonry tomb buried deep in the ground. Later, the cemetery on the ground was burned down in a mountain fire, and then to the present, the ruins of the original cemetery are not found at all, and the locals can't tell the specific location of the ancient tomb, but they know that in the area of Lao Songshan, there have been some tomb robbers who have dug it before, and they are all empty-handed.

I heard the locals say that Hu Wanda, the ancient tomb of this Yuan Dynasty official, is overjoyed, in the case of no sign on the ground of the ancient tomb, ordinary people will only dig up the tomb robbers, it is impossible to find. However, the large-scale tombs are built with great care, which does not mean that you can find a place with mountains and rivers to break ground and repair the tomb. It should be built according to the feng shui of the local mountains and mountains, and only when buried in those excellent feng shui treasures can the family prosper in the future.

Because of this, only those professional tomb robbers who understand feng shui can find the location of the ancient tomb, and can dig a hole to enter the tomb, and take away a large number of burial goods without knowing it. When the archaeological team of the Cultural Relics Bureau can excavate it in the future, there will basically only be the body and coffin of the tomb owner left in the tomb, and those precious and valuable burial goods will not be known to be left in the hands of anyone after several changes.

Hu Wan is a professional tomb robber who has stolen dozens of ancient tombs, and he is extremely experienced, and he came to Lao Songshan to observe the mountains and mountains, and within half a day, he found the best feng shui level for building a mausoleum. Later, after a simple excavation, some broken brick walls were really dug up, so it was concluded that the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty from the second grade was in the depths of their feet, and the apprentices took out the Luoyang shovel and began to explore the specific location of the tomb.

Luoyang shovel is also called probe shovel, for the half cylindrical shovel, now that should be regarded as an archaeological tool, when using vertical downward poke the ground, can be more than 20 meters deep, the use of semi-cylindrical shovel can bring out the soil underground, and gradually dig out a deep well with a diameter of about ten centimeters, because it is very convenient to carry and use, it has been used since its appearance.

According to folklore, the Luoyang shovel was invented by Li Yazi, a tomb robber in the countryside near Luoyang, Henan Province, in the early 20th century. Around 1923, Li Yazi, a villager from Mapo Village, came to a place called Mengjin near his house to catch a market, and after a while, he squatted on the side of the road to rest. Li Yazi usually robs tombs for a living, so he often thinks about tomb robbing. At this time, he saw a steamed bun shop not far from him, and the seller of steamed buns was preparing to make a small hole in the ground, and his tool for making a hole in the ground aroused Li Yazi's interest. Because he saw that every time this thing poked into the ground, it could bring up a lot of dirt. Li Yazi, who was experienced in tomb robbing, immediately realized that this thing was easier to explore the ancient tomb than the shovel he usually used, so he was inspired to make a paper pattern according to the tool, and found a blacksmith to make a real object according to the paper pattern, so as to make the first Luoyang shovel.

Hu Wansui is older, and his physical strength is not as good as before, and he will not do it himself when he goes to the tomb to dig a thief hole, so he leaves it to the three apprentices he brought to practice. This time, the general location of the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty was found, and the apprentices also used the Luoyang shovel to explore down.

Although this tomb is not particularly deep, but the sealing layer on it is really hard as if it has added some special secret medicine, just using the Luoyang shovel to explore the location of the tomb took a day, if it is to dig a robbery hole, it will take more than a week, and it has to be dug secretly at night, it is inevitable that no one will pass by here during the day, if someone is bumped into digging a thief hole, it is not good to say what will happen.

Hu Wan took his apprentices back to the county to rest first, and did not do anything about the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty for the time being. When everyone mentioned the shovel Wu Na, they all praised him vigorously, saying that his double shovels were so powerful that it would only take a day to dig a well at most. Hu Wan immediately thought that he could use this person to help him quickly dig a thief hole into the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, and when he dug up the tomb and took away the valuable burial goods, and then slaughtered him inside and sealed the thief hole, then he didn't know it.

Lao Wu thought it was a feng shui well, and dug it until the top of the tomb before he realized that something was wrong, and when he understood it, he knew that it was too late, and then he couldn't help but be frightened when he heard Hu Wan's call, and at that time, if the tomb robber was caught, he would lose his head, how could he have that guts, so he could only sit on the top of the tomb by sticking to the robbery hole.

At this time, one of Hu Wan's apprentices also came down from above, and took a shovel to clear the soil near the bottom of the robbery cave, and a large piece of stone bricks on the top of the tomb could be seen clearly, and the bottom was suddenly much more spacious, and Hu Wan and his apprentices immediately pried open the top of the tomb to reveal a robbery hole that could be entered.

Lao Wu kept watching them pry open the top of the tomb, thinking that he had to escape quickly, but the rope that was originally tied to his waist was also taken away by Hu Wan, and now he can only stay here and go anywhere. He had heard that those tomb robbers were particularly cruel, and they would fight to the death for a little burial goods, and he was afraid that Hu Wan's old man would kill him here after using himself, and he was suddenly trembling with fear.

Hu Wan broke a hole in the top of the tomb, and stretched the horse lamp into it to illuminate it, the space inside was not small, and the light of the horse lamp was not enough to see everything in the tomb clearly, at this time Hu Wan saw the old Wu sitting on the side trembling, so he smiled and said: "Brother Wu, what are you doing?" Before I saw the treasure, I trembled with excitement, and you said that you were so good. ”

Lao Wu listened to Hu Wan talking to him, but he didn't understand what Hu Wan meant, so he hurriedly said: "Hu Ye, this well has been dug, then I'll go up without me." "I'm going to grab the rope.

The apprentice who came down from above was a bald man, not very fat but with a fleshy face, and his face was quite scary. At this moment, Lao Wu just stretched out his hand to grab the rope and was caught by the bald backhand, and then kicked to the ground and almost fell into the hole in the top of the tomb.

Hu Wan put down the lantern and squatted down to Lao Wu and said, "Brother Wu, why are you in a hurry, we haven't entered the tomb to get the treasure yet, don't want the real money in front of you?" Well, you go in first and see how it goes, and I'll go in after that." ”

Lao Wu was stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, he was thrown into the tomb from the hole with his feet raised and his head down.
