When I listened to Tofu's words, I felt unhappy. After a while, I said lightly: "I know, I have some strange changes, if there is really that day, before I kill you, you can kill me first." Tofu was stunned, looked at me for a long time, clenched his fists and compared with me, and finally said, "I'll kill you?" You're kidding? You can pick out ten, and I'm a helpless artist, have I beaten you? ”

I said, "Come on, don't tarnish the word artist, what else will you do all day except teach the little boy to draw crows, big trees, blue sky, and white clouds, is there an artist like you?" After a pause, I patted Tofu's shoulder and said lightly: "What I just said was true, but for now, it is impossible to have such a day." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a muffled bang, which made people's ears numb, and the ground under his feet trembled, it was Zhong Gong who detonated the explosives. In an instant, the surrounding dust was flying, everyone covered their mouths, squinted and retreated, and it took about ten minutes for the dust to settle, and at this time, the thief hole left by the grandfather had completely collapsed.

Not surprisingly, Xiao Jing has been buried inside.

The three years of being together flashed in my mind, and my heart was a little blocked, this was not a very intense grief, just a heavy feeling, not strong, but difficult to erase.

Zhen Rui looked calm and relaxed as usual, and when he saw the dust disperse, he said lukewarmly: "Positioning." "The so-called positioning is to explore the underground environment, and only by positioning it clearly can we know where to hit the thief hole. This is a relatively simple job, we take out the probe shovel and expansion joints, layer by layer down, everyone acts separately, drill out of the plum blossom probe hole, in this need to exert force and repetitive labor, the rest of the things can not be thought about, has been busy until the afternoon, before finally the positioning is completed. Grandpa and others used more than half a month for positioning before, but because grandpa's group had already helped us find out the approximate location, our positioning range was relatively small, which was relatively time-saving and labor-saving.

After eating and drinking, everyone buried their heads and began to play the thief hole, for two days, the thief hole became deeper and deeper, and in the end, when we were working, we could no longer see the light outside, and could only use a flashlight. When digging holes, two people generally work together, one shovels and the other makes soil, and Gu Wenmin is responsible for logistics, after all, although she often deals with cultural relics, she is a serious policeman, where will he rob the hole.

It happened that it was my turn to shovel with Tofu, and I shoveled in front, and Tofu made a rattan basket in the back, and while loading it, Tofu said, "How do I think we are like miners." ”

I said, "Come on, mining is much harder than we do." "In fact, the general robbery hole, the fight is very fast, the reason why this hole will be fought for so long, mainly because of the Lishan Treasure Hall under the land, many have collapsed, so our robbery hole is not a thorough to the end, but there are many detours, until the complete interior is finished.

Tofu and I are both gray-headed, two people with headlamps working underground, to say that this digging is really a disgusting job, ordinary people may not have imagined, because in the soil layer, often dig out some living organisms, the surface layer has earthworms, insect eggs, ground laizi, to the deep compact soil layer is still alive.

Those wriggling little things, if they are not careful, come out of the dirt wall, either fall into the collar or fall on the hair, bouncing around, one or two, there are too many, Rao is a big man, and I also feel that my scalp is numb, let alone tofu.

It didn't take long for him to ask Gu Da Mei for a scarf, put on long sleeves and gloves, and wrapped herself from head to toe, revealing a pair of black eyes, at first glance, I thought it was a mummy coming out.

The two of us sweated like rain in the thief cave for more than two hours, and our straight arms trembled, sweating profusely, and it was estimated that it was almost over. Who knew that the last shovel was hit, but suddenly I heard a bang, and the shovel seemed to hit the stone. I thought to myself, did I hit the brick wall? Immediately untied the short shovel on his waist to dig the soil, and after a few clicks, he saw a blue-black brick wall.

Tofu was overjoyed and cheered: "I finally saw the main owner, this brick wall is quite strong, it seems that the space behind the wall has not collapsed, so let's enter from here." ”

I immediately put on the shovel and began to knock on the bricks, because this is not a dungeon, so there is no need to worry about the mechanism, if it is like a fight, see the stone wall, but do not dare to swagger so swagger and smash directly.

This stone wall has been buried in the soil for hundreds of years, not only has it not loosened, but it is more compact under the pressure of the soil, and it took the boss's effort to smash open a hole about one meter in diameter, and an indescribable strange smell suddenly came to the nose, and it was like a rancid smell, and it was like a gloomy smell of the air that had been cramped for too long, mixed together, and I felt dizzy when I smelled it.

I immediately covered my mouth and nose and said, "Stand back, back away, you have to wait for it to get another breath before you can go in." The two of us hurriedly exited the cave, and when we got outside, we dared to take a big breath, and our heads, which were dizzy from the evil smell, were a little more sober. Seeing that the two of us were out of breath, Gu Da Meinu said curiously: "What's wrong?"

Tofu gasped and stammered: "Hole, hole, hole...... It's done! Although what he said was clueless, everyone still understood, and Zhen Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll go down and have a look." ”

I was just about to stop him and tell him that there was bad luck underneath, but Tofu reached out and quietly poked my waist, squeezed his eyebrows, and smiled evilly.

I shook my head, didn't say anything, and went to the side to change my clothes. Zhen Rui got into the hole, and after a while, he came out with a gray face, coughing with a choked face, not to mention how ugly his face was, staring at Tofu as if he was going to kill someone, it was hard for Tofu to make Zhen Rui such a person who likes to do not show his color like this, he didn't realize it, the two brothers patted Zhen Rui's shoulder, and said with a bad smile: "Tuhao, how is the investigation?" ”

Zhen Rui's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he took out something from his pocket, suddenly smiled, and said, "I picked up a good thing down there and rewarded you." After saying that, he stuffed it directly into the pants pocket of tofu.

Tofu didn't know why, touched his head and said to me: "Lao Chen, he was stupid, and he gave me a gift." While speaking, he pulled into his trouser pocket, and then, he found a fat and white, half-hatched insect egg, the tofu was too powerful, the insect egg bar was pinched and exploded, and the colorful mixture inside sprayed the tofu face, and it happened that he was talking with his mouth open, and his mouth was splashed a lot, and then he directly hugged a tree and began to vomit.

As the old saying goes: you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.

Everyone ate and drank at will, waited for the bad luck in the cave to dissipate, took a nap for two hours, and when they woke up, the bad luck inside was almost gone, everyone packed up their equipment, and headed towards the underground ruins of the real Yashan Treasure Palace.

I looked down with my headlamp on, and there was a pile of collapsed beams as far as I could see, and the lights under the beams were blocked and scattered, so they were not very bright, and they were obscure.

Gu Wenmin weighed relatively little, and she said, "I'll go down and try it." "The soil around here is too soft to hold the ropes in place, so you have to go down the beams. She was nimble, and her yellow outdoor clothes, like a dexterous yellow kitten, squatted lightly on a beam, gradually descending along the trend of the beam, and after a while, she made an OK gesture to us, indicating that the structure was stable.

Everyone immediately stepped on the beams, followed the pillar, and in a moment reached the bottom, unfortunately, this was actually a closed space, it seemed to be a room, and the exit had collapsed, and was blocked by a pile of earth.

Zhen Ji hissed and said, "Bad luck, it turned out that I was in a dead end." ”

He walked around the surrounding stone walls, knocking and knocking as he went, and after a while, he pointed to the stone wall on the north side and said, "There is no collapse behind here, fight from here." ”

We have more tools at hand, although the stone wall is thick, but as long as there is no mechanism, it is not difficult to do, and destroying is one of the specialties of human beings, and it didn't take long for us to dig a hole. But I saw that the entrance of the cave was a closed corridor, and on the opposite side was a wooden building, **, twisted, under the pressure of the soil layer, as if it would collapse at any time, and the two buildings above the head were connected, so there was no soil here.

Everyone walked into the cloister and took out their compass, which was pointing straight to my right. I recalled my grandfather's map in my mind, Zhen Rui came for the seven lights, and my grandfather and others also came for the seven lights, so the direction of progress should be the same, but on the plan that my grandfather drew at the beginning, there was no mark about the 'Huangquan Ghost Tree', if the Huangquan Ghost Tree is the symbol of Zimu Country, then did Grandpa find Zimu Country in the end?

I turned to Jie An and asked, "You have been following them at that time, do you still know the road now?" Lead the way. ”

Jie'an looked around and said, "We didn't come down from the same thief cave, the road may be a little wrong, I haven't been to this place, you wait, I'll do the math." "Only Jie'an knows where the thief hole dug by Grandpa leads to it, so now, only Jie'an can compare the two robbery holes and judge the distance gap.

Jie'an closed his eyes and counted for a while, then finally opened his eyes and said, "The distance difference is in the southeast." He pointed to our right hand and said, "Go about 200 meters along this direction, and then turn about 300 meters north, and you can enter the route of the team back then, and hopefully there will be no landslides ahead." ”
