Chapter 55: Duplex Hollow Tomb

During the day, Lin Ming, Lian Shurong and Ding Xiyao rested and supervised the work in the tent, and Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyi took the guards of Dali Temple to gradually expand the scope near the guillotine mound in Cumulus Valley to search for other entrances and exits to the tomb.

For a whole day, the two came to the same conclusion as Lin Ming and Lian Shurong last night - there is absolutely no second entrance and exit in the guillotine mound.

Another night and day passed, and as night fell, the thief hole was finally opened.

After an hour of ventilation, Pei Wuyi, Yu Qingfeng, Lian Shurong, Ding Xiyao and Xia Feitao went down to the tomb in person, and the rest of the people guarded the entrance and exit of the tomb and the surroundings.

Five people each held an oil lamp, Lian Shurong took the lead, and after Ding Xiyao broke off, the queue ran into the narrow and cramped thief hole.

Fortunately, Yu Qingfeng did not have claustrophobia, otherwise he would have died of illness in this thief cave.

Fortunately, Yu Qingfeng did not have rhinitis, otherwise he would have suffocated in this dusty thief hole.

It's been ventilated for an hour, and it's still like a static sandstorm. When they go out later, it must be "unearthed cultural relics".

The height and width of the earth cave was just enough to pass through one person, and all three men had to bend their heads slightly.

Yu Qingfeng turned around several times, but almost touched Pei Wuying's chin with his head down behind him.

"Scared?" Pei Wuyi asked when Yu Qingfeng turned around for the third time.

Yu Qingfeng was naturally not afraid, she just wanted to see if Xia Feitao was trembling with fear in the back, and it would be better if she could see Ding Xiyao's expression.

But this reason can't be said directly, she can only pretend to be a bird, and answer Pei Wuyi delicately: "Well, I'm afraid." ”

Pei Wuyi pouted in disgust, then he had to cooperate, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

After walking slowly for about fifty meters, I heard Lian Shurong in front of me say, "There is no road ahead." ”

"No way?" Yu Qingfeng saw that Lian Shurong stopped in front of her, so she hurriedly kept a distance from him and stopped, for fear that the people behind would push Lian Shurong and her down together because of inertia.

"I forgot to say it," Xia Feitao's voice came from behind, "Those tomb robbers who robbed the cave are also considered to be not good at learning, and they didn't dig the right place, and the robbery hole is on the right side." ”

"That's right, the hole is above the burial chamber, but there's a ladder below."

As soon as Lian Shurong's voice fell, the person was gone.

Yu Qingfeng took two steps forward with the oil lamp, and only then did he see that Lian Shurong did not disappear on the spot, but climbed down the downward wooden ladder.

Without Lian Shurong blocking his vision in front of him, Yu Qingfeng was able to roughly look at the entire tomb with the faint light.

The burial chamber is indeed not large, only more than 20 square meters in size, but the height is as high as a two-story building, and the whole is like a hollow living room of a duplex building.

The entrance of their entire robbery cave is located on the second floor, so if you want to enter the tomb, you need a ladder. Fortunately, the tomb robbers left a wooden ladder.

The only piece of furniture in this empty living room is the coffin in the center. After the incident, the coffin that was used as a murder weapon was not removed, and the coffin was able to remain in the tomb at the strong request of the people of Pingchuan.

The six sides of the burial chamber are all "tiled" technology, uneven square stone bricks.

The gaps between the stone bricks can be large and small, the small gaps can barely reach a finger, and the large gaps can reach the whole hand. It seems that when this tomb was built, it was really in a hurry, and the craftsmanship was not very good.

Apart from the only "furniture", the only thing in the burial chamber is the ornaments scattered on the stone bricks of the walls.

Hanging a deer head on the wall of someone else's house is considered an ornament, but Ding Chuanzong's Yin Mansion has nearly a hundred animal heads hanging on the four walls.

It was not clear from a distance, and Yu Qingfeng could only carry the lamp to carefully look at the bull's head next to the cave entrance.

Twenty years have passed, in this relatively closed and cold underground, the bull's head has not been ossified, but dried up and shrunk into a bull's head mummy.

Yu Qingfeng trembled and retracted the oil lamp and gaze, and swallowed saliva in horror.

Looking at the unclear heads in the dark, those eyes that do not glow, there is a feeling of being stared at by nearly a hundred pairs of undead eyes, and my heart is furious.

"Don't be afraid." Pei Wuyi's voice was soft and warm.

Yu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, yes, there are no ghosts in the world, only if there are ghosts in her heart, she has a clear conscience, and she has the protection of the male protagonist, what are you afraid of?

Lian Shurong landed on his feet and beckoned to him: "Yu Qingfeng, come down." ”

Yu Qingfeng handed the oil lamp in her hand to Pei Wunu, asked him to illuminate it above, and she slowly climbed down the simple wooden ladder.

Lian Shurong answered and helped Yu Qingfeng down the wooden ladder.

Next is Pei Wuyi.

Soon, all five people landed safely, and under the illumination of the five oil lamps, the small tomb was fully viewed by Yu Qingfeng, which was indeed clear at a glance.

"Before and after the incident, more than 20 people entered, and I personally brought the officials in to search, and I have been able to confirm that there are no organs in the tomb, no secret passages, and we are safe."

Xia Feitao is against the routine again, he is the most relaxed of the five.

He is a descendant of the enemy of the owner of the tomb, he has come in before, and now he has come in again, is he not afraid at all?

Ding Xiyao walked to the coffin, stroked it with trembling hands, and whispered in a low voice: "Dad, I'm Xiyao, I'm coming to see you." ”

Yu Qingfeng circled around the coffin, approached, and used an oil lamp to illuminate it and observe it carefully.

This is really not an ordinary coffin, there is no lid, it is tightly fitted, it is integrated, there is not a single nail, and the hardness of the wood is very high. So even if a person is stoned to death, it is not damaged and deformed.

By wiping the dust off the corners by hand, you can faintly see the mortise and tenon structure.

In other words, the coffin is a mortise and tenon box, which is to put the body in after the five sides of the box are set up first, and then the last side is knocked in from the outside.

Therefore, if you want to open the coffin, you must completely destroy the mortise and tenon structure, or simply violently knock and drill a hole in the wood.

No wonder the twenty-odd gamblers couldn't open it, and there was no need to open the coffin to check if there was anyone inside.

Lian Shurong believed that he had the greatest strength among the people present, and tried to bend down to carry the coffin, but he riveted enough strength to stand up the coffin.

"This coffin has to weigh more than two hundred catties, and that Lou Anyi, like me, is also a martial arts practitioner?" Lian Shurong asked Xia Feitao.

Xia Feitao did not answer.

Pei Wunuan said disdainfully: "It's just a gambling house owner, he must be pampered, there are thugs under him, and he doesn't need to do it himself, how can he have so much strength?" ”

Xia Feitao had to say something.

"Lou Anyi is a fat man of nearly 200 catties, as for whether he has the strength to lift the coffin, he said yes, I asked him to carry it, and he also made it look like he couldn't lift it. But that doesn't prove that he really doesn't have that strength. ”

Yu Qingfeng high-fived and suddenly came to Xia Feitao with a sudden realization.

"What Lord Xia said is extremely true. What's more, there were twenty-three people who testified, and there were only two people in the tomb, Zhou Lang and Lou Anyi. Zhou Lang is dead, and the murderer must be Lou Anyi. ”
