Chapter 38: Tomb Robbery Threesome (3)
Looking at Xue Li, who was already dressed and his face was full of unhappiness, Li Huo coughed dryly, and said a little embarrassedly: "You little brat, people just flattered you a little bit, and you foamed out of your mouth with excitement, and became so excited, as if you had forgotten who you were!"
Zheng Chao looked at Xue Li seriously, and said solemnly: "Your white horse is a very divine horse, but in my eyes, it is a very white horse, and there is nothing too brilliant." You saw the old man looking at your white horse and recognized your identity, and I saw greed in his eyes, especially the guy who was unconsciously looking at our donkey cart. He must have been in the rut print of the dirt, thinking that we had yellow goods in it! That's why he decided to do our thing. ”
Li Huo looked at Xue Li again, and then said, "The other old man is too attentive and too enthusiastic. The veteran walked with his whole body tense, his footprints deep into the earth, and his hands clenched, as if he was ready to strike at any moment. In the end, the futon that the old Taoist gave us is too new, and it is so deserted here, even if there is a new bedding, it should have a mildew smell! But this futon, you see, is obviously newly bought! There is definitely something strange about it!"
Zheng Chao continued: "When eating, they are also obviously guarding us, the wine we give them, they are quietly spitting in the teacups, don't you find that their teacups are faintly reflecting the oil in the candlelight?"
Li Huo finally said angrily: "When I was eating, I made a look at you. But you didn't react at all, just happily flattered each other with that old man! I don't know what to say! Don't you feel any danger at all?"
Xue Li was still very unhappy, and shouted loudly: "You all know, then why don't you save me first, do you know, that old soldier is sharpening his knife beside me, and he has been sharpening his knife, in case of any accident, what should I do? Then I won't die immediately!"
Zheng Chao replied: "We heard that they want to keep you alive, and that Taoist priest is going to kill us first, and then force you to ask some questions." I guess they think that your status is noble, and you should be able to make more oil and water! And that veteran has been sharpening his knife, probably scaring you! By the way, what's the name of that veteran?"
Xue Li was a little comforted at this time, and replied: "The veteran I have there is very famous, his name is 'Hou Junji', this guy looks honest, but he is actually very cunning!"
Zheng Chao smiled and said, "Our reputation here is even greater, his name is 'Xu Shiji', haha, this old miscellaneous hair!"
Xue Li asked, "Xu Maogong?", and then laughed at the same time with the two of them, he fell into the hands of such two big yin people in history, and he didn't feel resentful at all!"
Looking at the three of them who couldn't stop laughing, the old man quickly recruited him. It turned out that two or three days ago, this Xu Laodao and Hou Dabing accidentally found that there was not a single guard in the Changling Tomb of Emperor Wen of Sui, so they decided to go here to have a look and see if there was anything that could be taken away. In order to prevent others from finding out, he came over dressed as a Taoist priest and a veteran. Although I knew that I had seen the three of them just over, I thought about getting another ticket!
Seeing this, Zheng Chao casually slapped a very large stone into powder, and Li Huo kicked out a long rope from under the old road's bed. The old way and the GI finally collapsed, and finally recruited again. It turned out that the real situation was that the two of them robbed the ancestral tomb in their family, Lao Dao was responsible for the control from above, and the veteran was responsible for going down to the tomb to find gold. The two of them have been preparing for these few days. It wasn't until half a year ago that they found out that the defenders of the tomb had left here. They carefully observed for half a year, except for a few monks who came a few days ago, there was no one here, so they decided to come and get a good look. But because this is the imperial mausoleum, the tomb crossing is difficult to find, they have been looking for many days, still haven't found it, and are about to give up, but they found that the three of them are coming, so they want to make a vote!
Xue Li stared at the old man fiercely, looked at the old soldier, and asked a little angrily: "You are Xu Shiji, you are Xu Shiji, how can you be Xu Shiji!
Zheng Chao poured a pill as big as longan and red as a cherry for each of Lao Dao and the veteran. Li Huo gave the two of them two big words 'Yong', and finally Xue Li took out two ingots of red gold weighing ten catties from his arms and gave them to the two. These two have finally become the 'faithful' subordinates of the rookie tomb robber three-person team! Looking back on the tremendous achievements of these two people in history, the three-person team feels that there are so many things they have to do and things to change!
Xu Laodao pointed to a position on the ground and said: "From here, you can dig a hole all the way, and you can go straight to the top of the tomb! But this soil is too hard, it is estimated that copper juice and iron sand are added to it, you see we have been making it for almost ten days, and we have beaten it so little." Looking at the shallow little white mark on the ground, Xue Li asked, "How deep is it?" Xu Laodao shook his head and said, "This is the first time we have made the Emperor's Mausoleum, I don't know much!"
Zheng Chao took out the iron pipes one by one from the donkey cart, and Xu Laodao asked, "What is this?" Looking at Zheng Chao, who was smiling but not answering the question, he knocked a small piece of iron rod in his hand into the ground with a hammer, and then connected another iron rod to the previous one, and knocked it in again! In the end, Zheng Chao pulled the long stick out of the ground!
After looking at the color of the soil in the hollow wooden stick, Zheng Chao said to everyone: "There are ten layers of rammed earth, each layer is about three feet. Thirty feet down is the top of the tomb!"
Xu Laodao looked at Zheng Chao's movements, looked carefully at the hollow iron rod, thought about it very seriously, suddenly knelt down in front of Zheng Chao, and said loudly: "You are the ancestor level master of our industry, your tools can be described as artifacts, I want to worship under your door, please accept me! Master, master! In vain, I thought that my family heirloom technique was very powerful, but I didn't expect that Master, your technique was even more powerful!". Looking at this famous 'Qiankun shovel' in later generations, Zheng Chao couldn't help but feel proud! So Xu Shiji, who was like a god with soldiers, finally succeeded in worshipping Zheng Chao's door and became a 'beggar'.
Li Huo asked, "Why is the soil so hard, is there anything weird?"
Zheng Chao replied: "The first three layers of soil are mixed with iron sand and copper powder, and the back seven layers are simply mixed with white ash 'Sanhe soil'. Open the top three floors, and you're good to go!"
I saw Li Huo think about it and ordered the old soldier to bring some hay and put it on the ground. A burst of fire erupted from Li Huo's hand, setting the hay on fire. The hay burned for a short while, and Li Huo hurriedly ordered the veteran to water and extinguish the fire. After the fire was extinguished, let Lao Dao and Hou Lao dig quickly, and sure enough, a lot of soil was dug out. Until the digging could not be moved, Li Huo burned it for a while, and so on, and soon the three layers of iron and copper soil on the top were dug up, revealing the white gypsum soil inside. The soil seems to be harder, hard as steel!
Xue Li looked at the white soil, looked up at the red sun that had just risen overhead, yawned, and said: "It's been all night, we are all sleepy, and the remaining seven layers of white soil will be handed over to the two of you, this is a punishment for you, a punishment for what you did last night!
Lao Dao was a little embarrassed and said: "This white soil is harder than the iron soil just now, and it is estimated that it will not be possible at night!"
Xue Li looked at Lao Dao with disdain and said, "You stupid, you don't know anything. The method of digging this white soil is the same as before, except that it does not need to be burned, just watering!"
Looking at the backs of the three people who went back to sleep, Lao Dao sighed sincerely: "Sure enough, they are all masters!" So the old Dao and the veteran, according to Xue Li's method, dug to the top of the tomb in less than half a day, revealing the big bluestone on it.
After Lao Dao pried up a large bluestone, he leaked out a big hole in the black whirring, and under the noon sun, there seemed to be black light smoke coming out. The two of them, who couldn't reach it, accidentally took a few breaths of the pale black gas, and then they both fell to the ground and fainted!
Xue Li seemed to feel something in his sleep, and suddenly his eyes opened, but one eye shone like jade, full of kindness and love, and the other eye was cold and terrifying. Xue Li sat up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes and looked around suspiciously, as if he felt something, but then he felt extremely sleepy, and he fell directly on the bed again, stretched his limbs, and fell asleep! As if something had happened, and as if nothing had happened! I saw that the light shining into the window was getting dimmer and darker
