It is said that in the tombs of ancient emperors, there would be tomb protectors.

On the ground, there are tomb guards carved out of stone.

And underground, there are living beasts.

I don't know what method the ancient people used to trap the ferocious beast here, and they couldn't get out for the rest of their lives.

Some may have died in an accident underground.

And some will survive forever, just like the apes in the underground of Hui Province, the big snakes encountered here.

It's just that if we encounter a tomb protector here, it means that we are not far from the tomb.

No matter who is buried here, there is hope.

After listening to my explanation, they were all a little excited. 、

Immediately ran to the other end and told the others.

After breakfast, everyone yelled and packed up their things, urging me to move on.

I couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Tang Lian: "Looking at their excitement, I don't know that I thought I was going to catch up with the big set!" ”

Tang Lian also smiled, "Get used to it, they're like this, they usually find something to do when they have nothing to do, after walking for so long, they finally see the final answer, and naturally they come to the spirit!" ”

I didn't delay, and when they were all packed, I immediately took out the wayfinding charm, found the way, and walked upstream along the underground river.

From ancient times to the present, underground rivers are also regarded as a dragon vein by feng shui masters.

So, if you don't know Feng Shui, or if you come here by accident, if you want to find what you're looking for, go upstream along the river.

If you want to escape, you should go downstream along the river, which is also the simplest and easiest common sense to understand after going deep underground.

On both sides of the underground river here, it is much easier to walk than on the side of Hui Province, and there are large and large flat rocks, and there is hardly any sharp gravel to be seen, and the travel speed is very fast.

It's just that the underground river doesn't flow in a straight line as you would like.

It twists and turns, sometimes even flowing through a small narrow hole.

More often than not, it came out under the low rocks, and we had to crawl on our stomachs.

After climbing through a 30-meter-long rock crevice, the fat man laughed: "Fortunately, it didn't flow out under the rock crevice, otherwise why would we still dive?" ”

As soon as the words fell, laughter rang out, and then it came to an abrupt end.

In front of us, a stone wall suddenly appeared, and an underground river flowed out from under the stone wall.

And where we are, at the end, there is no road.

"My crow's mouth!" The fat man slapped his mouth, and immediately said, "I didn't mean to!" ”

"Shut up!" Tang Zuo smiled and put his arm around his shoulders and covered his mouth for him.

I took the outdoor light from my man's hand and took two steps forward.

The stone wall where the plug was found was not a mountain rock, but an artificially hewn stone gate carved with countless patterns.

The stone gate is wide and spans above the underground river.

Two huge stone knockers, held in the mouth by two huge snake heads.

Everyone's eyes widened as they watched.

Tang Zuo said: "This should be the tomb gate." ”

The fat man looked back and forth, "But this gate is too well repaired, on the water, how to close and open?" ”

The men didn't speak, they stood quietly and waited, their eyes fixed on the door.

The mustaches and the others were shocked to see something like this for the first time.

"This is the tomb gate?" The mustache walked up to me.

"It should be!" I said, "I just don't know how to open it." ”

The fat man had already stepped forward and touched the pattern on the wall on the side of the door, "This is quite a lot of work!" This carving is also too beautiful. ”

The carvings on the gate carry the unique patterns of the Miao family in Hunan Province.

Between the large and large patterns, mixed with all kinds of birds and beasts, clustered around the two huge snake-headed knockers on the open door.

Tang Zuo turned his head to look at me, "Young Master Jiang, are you open?" ”

"Can you open it?"

"It should work!" Tang Zuo said, put down his backpack, and shouted, "It's work!" ”

I saw that the guys all walked to Tang Zuo's side together, put down the backpack, and took out various tools from it.

I pulled Tang Lian, and the fat man and the mustache stood behind and watched them busy.

Tang Zuo took out a section of steel pipes from his backpack, twisted them together, and soon took out two long pipes.

There were guys fiddling with other things next to them, and in the end, the two sides came together to make a simple long ladder.

Several people worked together to put the long ladder forward, erect it diagonally on the stone door, and fixed it in the middle of the ladder with two steel pipes connected at the tops.

After that, several people worked together to lift the ladder and send it to the other side of the river.

When reaching the other end, with a strong flick, the two steel pipes tied in the middle were suddenly thrown out, and when they reached the opposite bank, the other was released.

Next, the ladder sank down, and two separate steel pipes were actually placed on both sides of the underground river in a herringbone shape, propping up the ladder horizontally.

I sighed at the tacit understanding of these guys, and the slightest deviation in their actions, this matter has to be repeated.

After the two steel pipes were supported, they fixed a short ladder on this side, and after holding it, Heipi carried another short ladder directly up, and after stepping on the ladder to cross the underground river, it was fixed at the other end.

In this way, it only took ten minutes for Tang Zuo and his team to build a single-plank bridge across the underground river with these steel pipes.

However, I looked more like the scaffolding used to work on a construction site.

Blackskin tested the stability of the ladder at the other end and shouted to this side, "Alright! ”

Tang Zuo immediately said: "Go! ”

The two men immediately went up the ladder to the middle of the gate, and after tying two ropes to the knocker, they threw one back, and they took the other one to the opposite side.

At this time, it was Tang Zuo's turn, he walked up the ladder, came to the middle of the gate, took the dagger in his hand, reached into the crack of the door, and made a stroke from top to bottom.

After that, it was replaced with something like a thin steel strip sticking into it, and I scratched it again.

When he was done, he pulled out a thin ball of wire from his pocket, fiddled with it in his hand for a while, bent it out a sleeve-like ring, and slipped it along the top of the crack in the door.

Just look at him there, his hand moved back and forth, suddenly stopped, and said, "Put it on!" ”

When Heipi heard this, he immediately said, "Do it!" ”

The guy split into two groups, one left and one right, pulling the rope and starting to exert force.

And Tang Zuo didn't move, still holding the wire in his hand, and with a "rumbling" sound, his hand sank down, and he immediately jumped down and joined the team of the guys pulling the door.

I looked at it with amazement on my face, and saw that the entire stone gate had been opened by them so hard that an arm's width of the gap.

"Stop!" Donzo shouted, and he ran up the ladder again.

He first took a flashlight and shone it inside, and then he reached out, and one of the men hurried over and handed him a crowbar.

Tang Zuo put the crowbar in and stabbed it hard, and heard a loud "bang" coming from inside the door.

The top door stone was opened.

"That's it!" He jumped down from the ladder again and pulled back the erected steel pipe ladder with another fellow.

They couldn't just look at the mustache, and went up together to help.

The people on both sides worked together, and they heard the sound of "kalala, boom".

The door was pulled open by them!
