Chapter 432: The First Bend
This corridor is roughly seen to be sixty or seventy zhang long, the ground is paved with bluestone bricks, because there are people walking all the year round, the stone bricks have been polished to shiny, the tunnel entrance is located in a corridor that frequently walks people all year round, it is indeed a good way to hide people's ears.
But looking at the long corridor in front of him, Chen Jianping was worried, frowned and asked, "With such a long corridor and thousands of bluestone bricks, how can I find this entrance?"
Wu Datong smiled slightly and said, "How can this little thing stump me?"
As he spoke, he took three large cowhide water bags from his waist, which were still on the ground, and said, "Go and fill these two water bags with water!"
Nalan Yue's eyes were horizontal, and she said loudly: "Who are you calling? There is a small pond under the rockery, and you want water to fight it yourself!"
Wu Datong rolled his strange eyes, touched a whip mark on his arm, and said: "Okay! If you don't go, forget it, anyway, if you don't have water, you won't be able to find the entrance, and if you can't find the entrance, you won't be able to enter the tomb, and the altar may be under here, so you don't want to give up halfway, right?"
Nalan Yue blushed with anger and said loudly: "Let's go fetch water, what are you doing? It's not going to fight against the corpses of the dead again, right?"
Wu Datong glanced at Nalan Yue and said, "I'm naturally going to open the slate!"
As he spoke, he overturned hammers, crowbars, and other utensils from the cloth pocket on his back.
Chen Jianping smiled helplessly, grabbed the cowhide bag on the ground, took Jiang Qichen and Nalan Yue together, and poured three large bags of water into the small pond behind him.
Wu Datong bowed his body, walked slowly on the bluestone bricks, stomped on the bluestone bricks with his feet from time to time, and knocked on the small hammer in his hand to listen to the sound when he encountered suspicious bluestone bricks.
Then he pointed to the knocked brick and said, "Pour some water on this brick!"
Chen Jianping said that when he got to the water on the green bricks, but found that there was nothing unusual, Wu Datong shook his head, and then looked forward, and so on, until he was busy to the west of the sun, Chen Jianping and others went back and forth to hit more than a dozen bags of water.
Finally, on a green brick next to a corner wooden pillar, Nalan Yue poured water up, and the water did not flow like other bluestone bricks, but quickly seeped down.
Wu Datong was overjoyed and said, "Pour it again, slowly pour all the water here and see how it goes." ”
As a result, the water in the water bags in the hands of Nalan Yue, Chen Jianping, and Jiang Qichen was all poured out, and all the water seeped around the fast green bricks.
Wu Datong clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the entrance must be here!"
Chen Jianping was overjoyed and said, "Finally found it, let's dig it out and enter the tunnel!"
Wu Datong said: "Don't be busy, from the direction, this underground must be the tomb of Guiyunzhuang, this tunnel must be a tomb road, the opening of this place must be an organ, if it is forcibly dug up, the sealing stone will collapse, and at that time, a few of us will not want to enter the tomb!"
Chen Jianping looked at Wu Datong and asked, "What should I do then?"
Wu Datong took out a two-foot-long iron needle from the cloth bag and said, "If you want not to be blocked by the sealing stone, you must first confirm the location of the sealing stone!"
Chen Jianping, Nalan Yuejiang Qichen helped Wu Datong to open all the bluestone bricks around, Wu Datong took a two-foot-long wire to explore the ground, and made a mark with the red powder prepared in advance every few places.
After about half an hour, the red powder on the ground gradually joined into a line, slowly revealing a circular outline with a radius of two or three feet.
Wu Datong circled around the red powder on the ground twice, took out the drawings and looked at them, and after a while, he took fifteen steps to the west, nodded and said, "Okay, just dig here!"
Chen Jianping asked, "How long will it take to dig it up?"
Wu Datong smiled and said: "If in those years, at most, half an hour, these years have been rusty, it is difficult to say, it will not be more than an hour." ”
As he spoke, Wu Datong threw the big cloth bag on his body to the ground, took out a small shovel more than two feet long, and began to dig the ground, this time it was Chen Jianping, Nalan Yue, and Jiang Qichen's turn to be surprised.
Don't look at Wu Datong's kung fu, but with a shovel in his hand, the whole person reveals an unprecedented momentum.
I saw that his shovel was flying up and down, so fast that he could barely see the movements, Chen Jianping and Nalan Yue had not woken up from the initial shock, and Wu Datong had already dug the hole to a depth of half a person.
Not long after, the hole had been dug more than one person deep, and Wu Datong showed his head with a gray face, and said: "The soil can't be raised, help me to continue the soil." ”
At this moment, the sky was already dark, Nalan Yue held a torch to illuminate, Chen Jianping and Jiang Qichen shuttled back and forth to help Wuda to transport soil, the surroundings were silent, Wudatong dug fast, Chen Jianping transported the earth quickly.
Nalan Yue looked at the situation in front of her, couldn't help laughing, and said: "I can't imagine that the dignified head of the Central Plains Medicine Mountain Sect, Chen Da, would follow an old tomb thief to dig people's tombs, if this word spreads, it will be really lively!"
Before Chen Jianping could say anything, Wu Datong's buzzing voice came from the depths of the cave: "Work hard, I estimate that a few more shovels will be cleared, and then it will be ......."
Speaking of this, I only heard Wu Datong in the underground cave, and there was a rumbling sound from the ground, and Nalan Yue asked with concern: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Chen Jianping stuck his five fingers on the wall of the cave, stuck his head out of the ground, and said with a smile: "It seems to be through!"
Wu Datong's porcelain tooth grinning voice came from the ground: "It's not like, it's really through!"
Immediately, Chen Jianping, Jiang Qichen, and Nalan Yue entered the tomb through the cave, only to see that the tomb was full of one person high, and the left and right sides were wide, filled with an unpleasant musty smell.
I saw Wu Datong take out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, Nalan Yue recognized it as the highly poisonous porcelain bottle that Chen Jianping gave him, and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Wu Datong covered his mouth and nose, carefully poured the purple-black medicinal powder in the porcelain bottle into the dug hole, and said: "Although there seems to be no one around, who knows if there are any ideas hidden nearby, let's leave some materials for them, lest they copy our back road!"
At this moment, Chen Jianping took a closer look at the tomb, and saw a few square rows of stone pillars on the left side, trembling against a huge boulder, and after a closer look, this boulder was about the same thickness as the hole dug vertically by Wu Datong, which was the sealing stone.
Wu Datong pointed to the round stone and said: "Be careful, if these pillars are broken, the round stone will roll along the tomb road, sealing the tomb road, and we will be crushed into meat paste in this tomb road!"
Nalan Yue asked: "What's the use of this, the tomb road is so long, even if it is blocked by this round stone, can't you just dig a hole elsewhere like you dig a hole in the ground?"
Wu Datong shook his head disdainfully, and said: "Miss, you think that people are too simple, follow the tomb road and then go up to the mountain, how do you dig it? This rolling stone just blocks all the tunnels that can be drilled, and it is to prevent people like us from entering the tomb!"
When Nalan Yue heard this, she subconsciously pulled Chen Jianping and Jiang Qichen, and asked them to stay away from the boulder, Chen Jianping looked at Wu Datong with a smile, but he was also very impressed in his heart, thinking that there are doorways in all walks of life.
Immediately, a few more torches were lit, Wu Datong held the map in his hand, walked in the front, and the three of them walked along the tomb road, Chen Jianping faintly felt that the terrain seemed to be extending downward, and the more he walked, the wetter he became, and in the end, there was water directly.
Chen Jianping was thinking about it, when Wu Datong suddenly stopped in front of him, pointed to the drawings and said, "The first turn has arrived!"
