As the cooperation of three people and one monkey becomes more and more tacit, the speed of excavation and expansion is getting faster and faster.

Wukong charged ahead, killing this group of old rats really holding their heads and running away.

Qian Sheng followed behind, bending the head of the sapper shovel like a hoe, and with a few shovels, he could dig out a position that could accommodate him, and then loosen the surrounding soil.

Lin Yi stepped on it closely, holding a whirlwind shovel, cooperating with Qian Sheng, stirring it a few times, and a big hole with the thickness of one person came out.

A few more pushes and pulls from the front and back, left and right, and immediately expands a passage where two people can climb side by side without pressure.

Wang Qiang made a slight repair with the sapper shovel at the back, and climbed up with both hands and feet to keep up with the rhythm of the large army in front.

This rat hole is not a straight up and straight down, but a roundabout way up in this rammed earth layer, and there are many branches in some places.

Lin Yi is not afraid of getting lost.

Because Wukong is a "spirit monkey" that can bring them out of the tomb of the Absolute Queen, where is it rare to pour it in a mere mouse hole?

But as they dug faster and faster, the noise ahead became quieter and quieter.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the sapper shovel in Qian Sheng's hand "clang".

It was as if something hard had been dug up above his head.

"Money shopkeeper, what's the situation above?"

Lin Yi asked below.

"Master Lin, I really let you tell me, there seems to be a second floor on this, and there is a big stone slab on my head now."

Saying this, Qian Sheng knocked around with a shovel again.

"The area of this slate is not small."

Flagstone!

Lin Yi hurriedly asked:

"Are you sure, Money Shopkeeper, if it's really a slate, then how did Wukong and those rats get up?"

"There seems to be a gap between these slates and slates, so they can only accommodate their size, and we must be useless."

As he spoke, Qian Sheng took out a short crowbar from his waist and probed into it along the gap, but there was no focus under the crowbar, and it couldn't play a leveraged role.

And the area of this stone slab is not small, there are other stone slabs around it rubbing against each other, and they are almost connected into a whole piece over time, and they can't be pry at all.

This passage that was hard to find turned out to be a dead end!

If you really want to solve all the puzzles you have encountered before, entering this second-floor space is the key!

"Lao Lin, the money shopkeeper, what's going on in front, why did you stop?"

"There is a layer of stone slab pressed on the top of the head, this board weighs 100 pounds to say the least, the whirlwind shovel can't be moved, and the upper crowbar can't be pry open, so we have to go back the way we came, and then find another way out."

When Wang Qiang heard this, he was happy.

"Hey, I thought it was, you two find a place to rest, and look at me showing you my hand."

Qian Sheng and Lin Yi have been opening the way in front, and their physical consumption is also the largest, and their arms and legs are sore at this time.

Wang Qiang has the least amount of activity, and among them, he has the most strength.

It's really up to him to do this.

Listening to him volunteer, Lin Yi and Qian Sheng simply didn't compete with him, and each made a hole to the left and right where they could live, making way for Wang Qiang, and the three of them squeezed under this stone slab to see how he showed his hand.

Wang Qiang came up with a disgraced face, and the first sentence was to teach them a lesson first.

"You guys, no experience, when I just came back from changing jobs, someone introduced me to the water company, and within two days of work, I was sent to follow the master to drill the underground water supply channel.

The first lesson I learned was that if you were locked under the manhole cover, you must not get on the crowbar, you have to carry it on your shoulders, and voila! ”

After speaking, Wang Qiang took out two small pits around the sapper shovel and used the shovel to pat the soil into porcelain.

Then he held his sapper shovel and knocked back and forth under the slate, and after choosing a position, he tightened his belt, put his shoulders under the slate, tilted his head, exerted all his strength, and snorted.

"Walk you!"

The cracks above began to stumble down, and then the stone slab on Wang Qiang's body really showed signs of loosening.

Wang Qiang stabilized his body and moved up little by little according to the foothold he dug out.

The slate on top also began to move upwards little by little.

Just like this, I went up little by little, and I heard a muffled sound of "bang", and a black slate with a square meter square and a thickness of ten centimeters was pushed aside by Wang Qiang.

A puff of dust flew down, and the earth mist was so thick that I couldn't open my eyes at all.

After a moment of dissipation, the top of the three people's heads suddenly brightened.

"No man can be seen, no sea can be measured! Master Wang, you don't show mountains and dews on weekdays, but this shot is earth-shattering! ”

"Lao Wang, you are really awesome! How come I don't know you have the ability to do this? ”

Lin Yi admired from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Qiang pretended to pat the soil on his hands easily.

"Didn't you tell me that you have so many conspicuous skills?

Besides, where is this? That is, buddies are unwilling to compete with you for the C position, if it weren't for the moth that put him together, and the body didn't recover, this job would have been caught at all!

I said two, why are you still stunned? Let's go! ”

After speaking, Wang Qiang supported the edge of the stone slab next to him with both hands and took the lead in climbing up.

Lin Yi and Qian Sheng followed closely behind and climbed up.

It was pitch black all around, and a smell of grain mildew came to my face.

Turn on the flashlight and shine a flashlight.

"Good fellow, what is this place? We're not going to hit the grain station in the county, are we? ”

What appeared in front of the three of them was a mountain of grain, scattered all over the ground, and there was no end in sight.

The granaries used to hold these grains have been gnawed beyond recognition by rats.

"The grain here is moldy, and it shouldn't be the local grain depot."

"Master Lin, look, the main pile here is millet, as well as some wheat and unhulled millet."

Qian Sheng held the scattered grain in the palm of his hand and held it up in front of Lin Yi with a flashlight.

"No wonder the rats here can grow so fat, and the food here is enough for them to explode on the earth! Who will keep the food here? ”

Wang Qiang couldn't help but admire when he looked at the grain everywhere.

Lin Yi looked at the moldy grain particles in Qian Sheng's hand, and then looked at the granaries that had been bitten by rats.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

"I see! I understand! Money shopkeeper, remember that we discussed before that the person who can use the 'King of Wood King' must at least be a royal-level figure. ”

"That's right. How can ordinary people have enough of this thing? ”

"However, in all the ancient and rare historical materials, there is no record of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty who built a large number of buildings in Xiqi."

"Yes, it's just that when Tang Xizong fled, he passed through this fast realm."

Lin Yi grabbed a handful of moldy grain from the ground.

"No, there must be a certain emperor of the Tang Dynasty who has built a lot of construction here, and he does not hesitate to spend huge manpower and material resources, this is the evidence!

The reason why there is no record of this is because they did it secretly. ”
