Chapter 57: Digging a Cave Artifact

Chen Ziyang carried a shotgun for Yang Lei, Yang Lei reduced the weight of the backpack, and the speed was also much faster, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them walked to the location of the tomb.

Chen Ziyang took out the compass left to him by Lao Dao, he didn't hold the compass of his family heirloom, that compass was not practical, it was too heavy and inconvenient to carry, and it was too big to use, just like Yang Lei said, that thing was used to support the scene.

Finding the surrounding peaks that he had written down before, and measuring the location with a compass, Chen Ziyang came to the tomb of the diving fish dragon again, this time in order to travel lightly, Chen Ziyang only brought a little bit of white vinegar soaked grapefruit leaves, he didn't want to waste it in this kind of usable and non-existent place, but it was just a matter of time, and this thing could be done with a compass.

Chen Ziyang drew a circle on the ground, pointed out the direction of digging the thief hole, and let the umbrella stone shuai dig it first.

"Just dug it up? You don't have to take the Luoyang shovel or something to explore first? Yang Lei asked.

"Luoyang shovel a fart, there are stones everywhere here, Luoyang shovel is useless, this hole is called diving fish dragon, the entrance of the tomb is here, here is the fish mouth. Except for the thinnest near the cemetery, other places are built on the mountain, and the Luoyang shovel can't hit it at all, not to mention that we don't have it. ”

Yang Lei looked at a half-bald mountain peak in the distance, I don't know if the mountain is a former quarry or because of a landslide, the peak is a small half missing, there is no vegetation in the bare place, all are yellow rocks, and at first glance it is a complete stone mountain. Yang Lei asked worriedly: "Er Yang, are you sure there is a tomb here, don't we dig a few meters and it will be full of stones, that is, we can't dig a place until we die, and we have really become a fool to move mountains." Could it be that this is a Tang tomb? Didn't the Tang Dynasty open the mountain as a mausoleum, if it was a Tang tomb, we would send it! ”

Chen Ziyang opened his backpack to organize his things, and said: "I don't know what dynasty this tomb is, but it is certain that there is a tomb, and the scale of the tomb is not small." Chen Ziyang secretly prayed, hoping that the direction of the hole thief determined by himself with the word cutting trick was correct, otherwise the bamboo basket would be empty.

Chen Ziyang turned his head to look at the mountain made of soil when the tomb was built, in the half year that Chen Ziyang accompanied the bed, he was mainly learning the words in the "Civil Engineering Collection", at this time he was able to see from this earth mountain that this tomb is not far from the current age, at most it is a tomb of the Ming Dynasty, but the national strength of the Ming and Qing dynasties was weak, and there was no tomb built for the tomb according to the mountain like the Tang Dynasty. He also couldn't understand that this tomb brought him too many questions, and it seemed that everything could only be settled when he entered the tomb.

Yang Lei helped Umbrella Shishuai clean up the soil he dug out, and in less than an hour, Umbrella Shishuai had already dug several meters deep. Umbrella Shishuai fell out of the robbery hole and said: "There should be a tomb here, digging so deep, not even a stone has been encountered, even the roots of the tree are not too thick." "Umbrella Shishuai asked Chen Ziyang to continue digging, he had to rest for a while and prepare something.

Chen Ziyang put on a headlamp and took a sapper shovel into the robbery hole, which Chen Ziyang admired very much. At this time, looking at the side wall of this thief hole, the size and shape of each semicircular shovel print are the same, which means that the angle and strength of each shovel dug by Umbrella Shishuai are exactly the same to dig this effect. I don't know how many years of kung fu it takes to practice, Chen Ziyang is secretly happy, he has a specialization in the art industry, this time he really met a nobleman.

The semi-circular shovel prints were like the scales on the carp's body, and Chen Ziyang thought to himself that this really matched the name of this feng shui cave.

Before Chen Ziyang could dig a few times, he saw a beam of red light shining from behind him, pointing directly in the direction where he was going to dig the thief hole, and then the big iron bucket brought by Umbrella Shishuai was thrown behind him. "Throw dirt into this bucket." The voice of the umbrella stone shuai came from behind Chen Ziyang.

Chen Ziyang pouted his buttocks, looked from the step, and saw that the red light was emitted from the laser pointer brought by Umbrella Shi Shuai, so that he didn't have to worry about digging in the wrong direction. He didn't look carefully at the bucket brought by Umbrella Shi Shuai before, thinking that it was an ordinary iron bucket, but at this time, he realized that this bucket was different. An ordinary bucket is a round iron bottom surrounded by iron plates, forming a bucket shape. The iron bucket held by the umbrella stone shuai is two round bottoms, surrounded by most of the iron sheets in the middle, which means that the opening of this bucket is on the side of the bucket.

Chen Ziyang instantly understood the purpose of this iron bucket, which was simply an artifact for digging holes and transporting soil. I don't know how the head of this kid came up with this solution. At this time, Chen Ziyang no longer admired Umbrella Shishuai, but admired the five-body throw.

The hole is already narrow, it is very difficult to turn around, with this bucket, it is much more convenient to transport soil outside, the person who digs the hole only needs to throw the excavated soil from under the crotch, and then throws it into the bucket, after the bucket is full, it is pulled out by the person outside with a rope, pour out the soil inside, and then throw the bucket in, the speed is fast and convenient. When Chen Ziyang thought of this, his confidence doubled and he accelerated the movements in his hands.

Chen Ziyang replaced Yang Lei when he was tired of digging, and the three of them did it backwards, one digging a thief hole, one using an artifact to transport soil, and one resting. When Yang Lei was digging a hole, Chen Ziyang asked Umbrella Shishuai about the origin of this bucket. Umbrella Shishuai said that this bucket was not invented by him, but that he did it in the army. However, the holes dug by the troops were relatively wide, so they just used empty gasoline barrels to make a big hole in the iron sheet on the side.

This one knew that he was going to dig a thief hole, so Umbrella Shishuai found a blacksmith to customize this artifact. Chen Ziyang was shocked, and he regretted not being a soldier for a lifetime, saying that the army is a melting pot, and there is knowledge everywhere, and the creativity of the Chinese people is really endless.

Yang Lei dug for a while, retreated from the thief hole, and replaced it with an umbrella stone handsome, Yang Lei gasped and said: "The novels are all lies, if you look at which novel is written, a person will dig the thief hole back and forth every hour, don't read it,, we have been digging for almost two hours together, and we haven't seen anything." ”

Chen Ziyang became more and more confident the more he dug and dug for so long without touching the stone, which proved that he was digging in the right direction, and his mood improved, so he explained to Yang Lei: "Not necessarily, the structure of the tombs is different, some tombs are relatively shallow, and it is indeed labor-saving to dig, but it is still a bit exaggerated to dig back and forth in an hour." Our tomb is at the bottom of the mountain, so when digging the thief hole, dig diagonally downward, and the distance will be long. ”

The three of them took turns digging, Umbrella Shishuai dug neatly, Chen Ziyang dug ordinary, Yang Lei dug Jiang Baba, which section was dug at a glance. The time passed by hour by hour, and I saw that the three people had been digging for more than three hours, and in a while it would be dark, and the thief hole would go down dozens of meters.

After a while, Umbrella Shishuai retreated from the thief hole, and said excitedly: "It's done, it's dug to the place, it should be a stone gate, the thief hole is too small to look at, but there is a lion's head carved on the stone, and it looks man-made." ”

When Chen Ziyang heard this, he hurriedly threw down the cigarette in his hand and plunged into the thief hole.
