Chapter 63 (Updated July 5, 2012)

2. Dig all the way

They looked down at the hill from a nearby hill and deduced the movement of the entire hill and the changes in the landscape over the centuries, trying to find out what the original landscape was like here. They soon discovered that the hill was getting higher and higher because of the constant excavation of the tombs, the backfilling of the land, the burial mounds were embedded in them, and a large amount of earth was excavated.

That is to say, the whole tomb mountain should be a very dense group of ancient tombs, there are many ancient tombs on it, at the beginning the tomb bag was not so high, it may be just a small mound on the plain, or it is not visible at all, then that is to say, within a radius of several kilometers around the tomb bag should be the burial ground of the earliest ancient tombs, and it should be very, very deep.

So the core question is, where is the most critical tomb under this burial bag?

At that time, there was a very strong thinking man among the children in the wilderness, and he wondered what was causing all the ancient tombs to move to a few dirt bags. Feng Shui is very good in terms of feng shui, but why do you have to be on the mountain?

After pondering, someone said, "Maybe there is such a situation, originally this was a flat burial area, and one day a huge ancient tomb will be built here, and it needs a larger mound, which is the original shape of this mountain."

After the ups and downs, many people are reluctant to bury their ancestral graves in a lower place than this tomb, they will want to build them in a higher place, and after a long time, the owners of the oldest tombs will naturally disappear, and many people will regard the mounds as a tomb mountain. Generally speaking, it is a very unlucky thing to go to the grave, and perhaps these owners do not know about it, so it is the result that is now. ”

In other words, there should be a very large ancient tomb at the bottom of this tomb mountain, and the problem is how to bypass the guards of Bingyouzi. The children of the Zhang family measured the distance, and started digging a pit from the farthest point to reach this side, which was at least two kilometers long, with the strength of their five children, to dig such a long distance, it was extremely laborious and costly, and it was necessary to take advantage of it.

They had to dig the entrance to the pit very close, so they had to use a trick. But judging from the whole situation, this seems unlikely, because except for a few sentry posts around the back mountain, almost no grass grows, and all of them are yellow mountains, which can be seen at a glance, and anyone who approaches them will be spotted.

But these people have their own very special way of playing tunnels, and they find that these people are very lazy when patrolling.

Indeed, in this case, there are certainly not many people who dare to rob tombs here, so there is no need to be too nervous.

But one of the Zhang family children believes that it is unlikely that no one has ever made up their minds about such an ancient tomb. If you look far away, you will find traces of someone digging into this mound. They can find a way to find the holes and see if they can still use them.

At that time, Zhang Haike said: "If there is a robbery hole, then isn't this tomb already stolen?"

The child of the Zhang family said: "Not necessarily, why do you think that the rich landlord of Ma'an Village asked the local armed forces to protect the mausoleum? This shows that it is very likely that they know that there are very precious things in the tomb." Such an ancient tomb, it is definitely not a small thief can steal it, even if a master has come, it will leave some for future generations, in short, it is worth visiting. ”

So the group of five people took turns to divide the work, they found a hidden place and started, first digging a pit in the ground for five people to rest, and there was only a small hole for one person to enter and exit the ground. The entrance to the cave was sealed with a dustpan and covered with earth, which did not look unusual, but only when you stepped on it would you find that there was actually a pit here.

The place where they dig the pit is very clever, hitting the side of a ridge, so the probability of being guessed is very small. They were active in the town on weekdays, collecting small tools and dry food, and carefully transporting supplies to the cave every night, and soon the cave was stockpiled with daily necessities that could last them for a month. In order to solve the problem of defecation, they made two smaller holes on each side of the hole, which were six or seven meters deep, and sealed them with thatched balls to serve as temporary latrines.

"At the beginning of the training, the Zhang family had a special training of dieting, which allowed them to eat very little every day and maintain strong physical strength, so that they could also control bowel movements. When you live underground for a long time and do not see the light of day, you can control the amount and frequency of your bowel movements, and only have a bowel movement once in five or six days, and sometimes you can stay underground for 30 days without any signs of defecation. Originally, we made holes in the ridges, and even if there was a bit of fecal smell, it didn't matter much, but just in case, we still strictly implemented the habit of eating in rations and maintaining only ordinary physical strength. ”

When I heard this, I felt that the Zhang family was really miserable, if it was inconvenient to defecate for 30 days, wouldn't it be serious constipation? How did the little brother survive before? The body's detoxification function must be a mess!

In the physical condition of the Zhang family, they began to carry out the plan a month later and began to dig holes in the ground. One of the most frustrating aspects of this long-term work is the amount of unearthed, because after digging the hole, a large amount of waste soil is formed, and these wasteland must be carefully transported out of the cave, and they can reduce a large part of the wasteland by compressing the cave walls, but after all, this workload is too large for them to work like moles, so every night is the most painful time, and they have to do everything they can to get the wasteland out.

They dug all the way, and by the time they reached the bottom of the grave, it had been nearly two weeks, and there were only seven days left before they had to return to their hometown for the New Year.

For Zhang Haike, he realized for the first time that being a tomb robber was very, very difficult, and in all the training he went through, his elders often said to him: "In many cases, luck is often the most fundamental factor that determines everything." He deeply understood that it turns out that some things can fail no matter how strong you are and how hard you work, and the only thing that can really make you successful is luck.

In the first two days of these seven days, they began to dig down the holes, and that night they worked without eating, drinking, or sleeping, until they finally reached the top of the whole tomb. When their shovels touched the blue-brick slabs, everyone let out a long sigh. This kind of sigh is not joy or frustration, it is just a helplessness and sigh for my hard work for so long.

They slept on the bluestone bricks for three hours, and then immediately began to open the bluestone bricks and bluestone slabs to prepare for entering the burial chamber. And at this time, they began to make a very, very serious mistake.
