Chapter 172: Tomb Robbery Codex
Jiao San under the mountain was rushing to this side with a team of people and horses, and he saw Xu Tianchuan halfway up the mountain from a distance, and immediately beckoned happily and accelerated the pace of going up the mountain.
One is that he likes big formations, and Jiao San, who is in a big formation, didn't bring too many people this time, but picked some capable forces, which was beyond Xu Tianchuan's expectations, and even a little surprised.
It seems that Jiao San has gone to a few tombs with him, and it is not that he has not learned anything.
The tomb does not lie in the fact that there are many people and few people, because it is not like the blatant Sun thief, who directly uses huge manpower to steal and excavate.
Tomb robbing is all about 'skill' and technology.
Too many people are not easy to manage, and there will be many people and miscellaneous things.
Even if there are more than fifty people in these two teams combined, I'm afraid it's a bit much.
Of course, it is impossible for so many people to go down all of them, and at least half of them must be left on it to guard the entrance of the tomb.
Because after entering the tomb, the tomb entrance is exposed, and sometimes the danger of the tomb is greater than that under the tomb, and if the tomb is blocked by someone who lacks a heart, it will be over.
So there has to be someone on it, and it has to be someone who is very trusting.
After the teams on both sides converged, they didn't need too much introduction and nonsense, and directly turned their eyes to a huge rock directly in front of them.
This large, irregular rock is nearly three meters high, nearly four meters in diameter at its widest point, and nearly two meters in diameter at its narrowest point, and is partially buried underneath.
It is precisely because of the large size of the rock that the entrance to the ancient tomb below has been able to hide for more than 100 years.
If it weren't for the punishment, who would have thought that there was an entrance to an ancient tomb under this rock?
"Shopkeeper Xu, since you said that this rock was blown down with gunpowder from above, let's blow it up again? I brought gunpowder. ”
Jiao San spoke, and at the same time arranged for his subordinates to bring a large bag of gunpowder cartridges.
"No, it's not advisable to blow up such a large rock with gunpowder, and the amount of gunpowder is enough to blow up the tomb below!"
Xu Tianchuan immediately shook his head and vetoed the method proposed by Jiao San.
"What's the best way to do that?"
Jiao San looked at the rock in front of him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"We have a lot of people, so we don't need to use any good tricks."
Xing Chang interjected a sentence and glanced at his subordinates.
Under this gaze of Xing Chang, his subordinates immediately replaced the Luoyang shovel with a simple shovel head and began to dig a pit along the bottom of the rock.
The principle is very simple, throw a big pit on the edge of the rock, and with the strength of dozens of people, you can easily push the rock down, which is probably the fastest way.
Xu Tianchuan laughed in his heart, it seems that Xing Chang has indeed made 10,000 preparations, and he even thought about how to remove the rock blocking the tomb entrance in advance, and specially prepared tools such as shovels in advance.
The crowd was indeed powerful, and it didn't take an hour or two to be thrown out of a deep pit along the edge of the rock.
Xu Tianchuan noticed that when digging down to a depth of nearly one meter, all the further down were very obvious five-flowered ripe soil.
Judging from the color of the earth, you can basically determine without smelling the smell, and the following is a tomb of the Ming Dynasty, which can even be accurate to the early Ming Dynasty.
You know, even in the Ming Dynasty, it spanned more than two hundred, nearly three hundred years.
Some people may ask, since you have already dug up the five-flower soil, why bother to remove the rocks next to you?
Because the two ancestors relied on their excellent gold touching skills, they must have hit the entrance of the thief cave directly above the main tomb, and even opened the skylight for the ancient tomb, as long as they moved the rock down.
If you dig down in situ, then you must dig a brick wall, and you have to open the skylight on the brick wall again, compared to it, it must be easier to remove the rock above.
After digging the big pit, dozens of people pushed the rock at the same time, and without much effort, they easily pushed the rock down the pit.
When the rock was pushed down and a big pit was dug next to it, Xu Tianchuan saw a pitch-black circular thief hole pressed down below at a glance.
The hole is nearly one meter in diameter.
It's not because this is a thief hole made by his ancestors, so he deliberately wants to tout it.
From a professional point of view, this thief hole is really speechless, very beautiful, just like a compass drawn on the ground, the soil of the thief hole is squeezed to both sides of the unconventional and smooth, just like a finely carved work of art.
Fighting a robbery hole is the basic skill of Tufuzi, so from the technique of hitting a robbery hole, you can see the depth of a tomb robber's technique.
Xu Tianchuan admitted that even he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to make such a beautiful thief hole.
"This robbery hole is eight meters and five deep, and it hits directly above the main burial chamber of this ancient tomb below, so the bottom is directly connected to the main burial chamber!"
Xing Chang looked at the neat thief hole in front of him, his expression was solemn, and he told Xu Tianchuan some information he knew in advance.
While Xing Chang was speaking, he could clearly feel that Xing Chang's eyes hid some emotion, as if he had gone back to more than a hundred years ago, and felt that the footprints of his ancestors who had stood here were still warm
Hot.
Xu Tianchuan said that he wanted to sigh, as if no one didn't have it, and the bones of his ancestors were still lying somewhere below.
Wait a minute......
Xu Tianchuan felt that what Xing Chang said just now was a little wrong.
"Xiao Changzi, didn't you say yesterday that after our two ancestors went down to this ancient tomb, they didn't even find the main tomb, and they encountered danger and ended up with one death and one injury, so how did this robbery hole hit the main tomb?"
Xu Tianchuan looked at Xing Chang and raised his eyebrows and asked.
This is a complete contradiction.
Xing Chang looked directly at Xu Tianchuan's puzzled eyes, but he also agreed with Xu Tianchuan's speculation, and said: "Actually, I also feel that it is a bit contradictory to say this, but after all, this is what my grandfather experienced, and I didn't meet my grandfather. But it's just a detailed record of what grandpa experienced in this ancient tomb, not the structure of the entire ancient tomb, so there are many contradictions, I think this should be the mystery that grandpa didn't solve this ancient tomb, otherwise, your grandfather wouldn't have planted it in this ancient tomb......"
"Codex?"
"Tomb Raider Codex?"
Xu Tianchuan raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "What about the Codex?" Can you show me first? Why didn't you say this in advance, and wait until you got to the tomb? ”
Xing Chang didn't mind taking out the codex and showing it to Xu Tianchuan, after all, he was going to have 'in-depth cooperation' with Xu Tianchuan.
So Xing Chang carefully took out a codex directly from his backpack and handed it to Xu Tianchuan.
Although the codex is more than 100 years old, it is very well preserved.
To Xu Tianchuan's surprise, this tomb robbery codex did not write as many words as he imagined, only two pages.
It is clearly recorded that the two ancestors formed a 'tomb robbery cp', found this ancient tomb in the early Ming Dynasty, and also determined that this is a husband and wife burial tomb, first met the Yin soldiers to welcome relatives, and then judged the pattern of the ancient tomb, so as to accurately find the main tomb, and successfully hit a robbery hole directly through the main tomb on the top of the main tomb.
However, once you enter the main burial chamber, you encounter danger.
As for what the danger is, this is the most important thing, but it is not written! didn't say a word, only wrote at the end that the two of them encountered an accident before they found the main tomb, and made their brother die for it, and he was ashamed......
"That's it?"
Looking at the two-page tomb robbery codex, Xu Tianchuan was stunned.
No wonder there are so few words on the codex, it turns out that the two ancestors 'confessed' not long after they went down.
Even if you want to write, you can't write it.
Originally, Xu Tianchuan was full of joy and thought that with the ancestor's codex, he could predict the danger of the ancient tomb in advance, whether it was a mechanism or a corpse.
But I didn't expect the most critical danger to be encountered, and I didn't say a word!
"Is this a detailed tomb robbery record?"
Xu Tianchuan felt that his IQ was pressed to the ground and rubbed, and he received another 10,000 critical hits, so he couldn't help but inadvertently burst into foul language.
"Does this mean that after the two ancestors went down to the tomb, they didn't even know how they died?"
Xu Tianchuan looked at Xing Chang again, his eyes widened and he asked.
"That's right! So to speak! ”
Xing Chang nodded without rebuttal.
In fact, what Xing Chang just said is right, the ancestor did write everything he knew and encountered in detail on the codex, and he really didn't know what danger he encountered, and he didn't know how he died, so he didn't write it, and there was nothing wrong with it at all.
This is also why the ancestor of Xingchang died depressed because of this incident, and he had to wait for his descendants to help decipher it.
I don't know what danger I encounter, how I die, and whoever I change to will have a knot in my heart......
But then again, it's not really that the Tomb Raider Codex is useless.
At least I knew that the ancestors were in danger of dying that they didn't even know how they died.
It shows that the danger of this ancient tomb is not ordinary!
"Down! It doesn't matter how damn dangerous it is! ”
Xu Tianchuan returned the tomb robbery codex to Xingchang, the more this kind of tomb, the more Xu Tianchuan's heart was surging and he was eager to try.
However, you need to receive the system task before going to the tomb, which is a must.
[Ding Dong, the system prompts, the host has successfully received the system task, please find the ancient tomb as soon as possible, and pry the coffin to get the corresponding rich rewards......]
As Xu Tianchuan opened the system interface with his mind to receive the task, the prompt sound of the system immediately sounded in his mind, and the reaction speed was very fast.
At the same time, Xing Chang also arranged the above matters, so that twenty-five of them guarded the entrance of the robbery cave, and the remaining half went down to the tomb with him.
When everything was ready, everyone took the miner's lamp, put a rope into the robbery hole, and carefully followed the rope to descend into the burial chamber one by one.
