Chapter 96

At this time, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, but Yu Changchang also went down to the bottom of the cave with more than a dozen Zhuang Ding. He held the torch in front of him and looked around, and said to Zhuang Hengyun in a low voice, "Are the third children ready?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Ready." Just wait for the eldest brother to give an order, and send Donald thief on the road. ”

Li Qiufeng and the others realized that it had been here for a long time, and He Yi had disappeared out of thin air and had not shown up. I only heard Yu Changyuan say in a low voice: "Second brother, you take your brothers into the tunnel and explore a little way forward, and I will stay here with Lord Xu, Mr. Yan, and Brother Li to see what happened to Donald and the thief." ”

Zhuang Hengyun agreed, and immediately led all Zhuang Ding into the tunnel. Xu Ying said, "Master Yu, do you want to have a showdown with Tang He here?"

Yu Changchang sneered: "This old thief is planning to seize this treasure, if he succeeds, he will definitely kill us." Naturally, we can't sit idly by. I have asked the third child to bury the gunpowder here, but when the old thief arrived, he ignited the gunpowder and took the life of the old thief. As soon as Tang He died, the rest of Ma Lao Boxer and his group couldn't make any big waves. ”

Xu Yingyang heard him say viciously, and said: "It's just that this place is so small, if it explodes, I'm afraid that the tunnel will collapse, and we won't be able to escape." ”

Yu Changchang said: "Let's go to the tunnel first, after the third child leads the gunpowder, we will flee to the end of the tunnel, if the tunnel collapses, it just blocks the way of these guys, but it is okay with us." Lord Xu doesn't have to worry. ”

Li Qiufeng was quite confident when he heard him, and secretly thought, "Could it be that this old thief has been here?

At this moment, I only heard the chaotic footsteps coming from the stone steps, and then I heard Tang He say, "Brother Yu, what's the situation below?"

Yu Changchang waved his hand at everyone, and then pointed in the direction of the tunnel. Li Qiufeng and the others hurriedly walked into the tunnel. At this time, Zhuang Hengyun had already gone far with Zhuang Ding, and he couldn't even see the light of the torch. At this time, I saw that the ground at the entrance of the tunnel suddenly bulged, and then a person jumped out, it turned out to be He Yi. He wrapped his whole body in a piece of oilcloth, so that after jumping out, he shook the oilcloth, but there was not a trace of dirt on his body.

Yu Chang saw He Yi coming out of the ground, but he was not surprised, and whispered to He Yi: "Third child, light the gunpowder." ”

He Yi agreed, squatted down, pulled out a piece of powder wire from the soil, lit the powder line with a torch, and then covered it with soil.

At this time, he only heard the footsteps on the stone steps getting closer and closer, and Tang He asked on the stone steps again, "Brother Yu, are you down there?"

Yu Chang saw that the medicine line was already lit, so he immediately waved his hand to everyone, turned his head and said loudly to the stone steps: "Donald Dart, we have gone down to the bottom of the cave." Everything is normal, please come down. ”

After Yu Changchang finished speaking, he pointed to the tunnel with his right hand, and He Yi and the others immediately rushed into the tunnel, and Yu Changchang followed. I only heard Tang He laugh and said: "Brother Yu is quite fast, you wait for me below first, and then we will discuss after we go down." ”

Li Qiufeng and others ran forward more than ten zhang away, and suddenly heard a loud "boom" behind him, and in a moment, he only felt a strong surge behind him, he saw the opportunity very quickly, and hurriedly lay on the ground, the strong force swept past him, and the sand on the tunnel wall shook, and buried half of his body in it.

At this time, I only heard Yu Changchang shouting: "Don't stop, everyone, run forward!"

Li Qiufeng jumped up, hurriedly ran forward, and ran more than ten zhang away, but saw Zhuang Hengyun leaning on the tunnel wall with all Zhuang Ding, and when he saw Li Qiufeng coming, Zhuang Hengyun said: "Brother Li, what's going on behind?"

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, Xu Yingyang and Yan Dufei had also arrived, and then Yu Changyuan and He Yi also came to the front one after the other. He Yi said with a smile: "The mouth of the tunnel has collapsed, and it is estimated that the stone steps are not much better, and even if the old thief is not killed, he will be buried alive." I really want to see what this old guy looked like before he died. Haha, haha. ”

Yu Changchang said: "Let's not delay, it's right to move forward carefully." ”

This time, it was Zhuang Hengyun who took Zhuang Ding to the front, Yu Changchang took Xu Yingyang and others to walk in the middle, and He Yi walked at the end. Everyone walked forward for more than a hundred and ten steps, and Zhuang Hengyun suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Everyone stop, there is no way ahead!"

Yu Changchang took a few steps to the front, only to see that the tunnel had reached the end, and two gates made of bluestone blocked in front of everyone. These two gates are more than two feet high, and the surface is very rough, as if they have not been polished. Zhuang Hengyun said: "I'm afraid that this door doesn't have 10,000 catties, how can we open it?"

He Yi stepped forward, pushed a few times on the stone gate with both hands, then took a few steps back, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said to Yu Changchang: "Let's blow it up with gunpowder first?"

Yu Changchang smiled: "I've been prepared, let's take a look at my methods." ”

I saw that he called a few Zhuang Ding and said, "Take out the things." ”

As if they had been prepared, the villagers untied the backpacks they were carrying, took out some iron rods of different lengths from them, and piled them all on the ground. Yu Changchang squatted down and assembled these iron rods, and in a moment, an iron rod more than a zhang long and strangely shaped had appeared in his hand. At the end of the iron rod was a nail shape, which looked indescribably weird.

Yu Changchang waved the strange iron rod in his hand a few times, and after confirming that it was very firmly combined, he walked to the stone door and slowly inserted the iron rod along the gap between the two stone doors. I saw him turn the iron rod repeatedly, as if trying to move something. After half a pillar of incense, he heard Yu Chang say: "Okay, it's finally aligned!"

Li Qiufeng saw that he was acting strangely, and he didn't know what he was doing. I saw Yu Changchang turn his head and say, "A few brothers come over to help!"

Six Zhuang Ding rushed forward, and Yu Chang said: "Grab this iron rod and push it forward, don't let go"

The six Zhuang Ding seemed to have practiced a long time ago, and every three of them grabbed the iron rod and pushed it forward together. I could only hear that something seemed to be sticking to the door inside the stone door, making a "creaking" sound of rubbing, and the iron rod slowly squeezed into the crack of the door.

The six Zhuang Ding did not dare to relax at all, and seeing that more than half of the iron rod had entered the stone gate, Yu Changchang said to Zhuang Hengyun: "Second brother, let's each push a stone door to see if we can open it." ”

Zhuang Hengyun agreed, and his palms were attached to the stone door on the right, and Yu Changchang put his palms on the stone door on the left, and the two of them pushed forward vigorously at the same time. I only heard a "boom" sound, and the two stone doors had already opened inward, and a cold air rushed out from inside the door.

The group took a few steps back, then raised their torches and shone forward. I saw that behind the stone gate was a stone room, five steps away from the stone gate, a stone pillar more than one zhang high stood on the ground, but there was a stone trough below.

Yu Changchang walked into the stone room first with a torch, illuminated the stone pillar with a torch, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said with a smile: "If there is no such thing left by Ma Kongkong, we will never be able to open this stone door." ”

Li Qiufeng heard him mention the word "Ma Kongkong", and his heart sank, thinking that Ma Dongqing had said that Yu Changchang took a thing from Ma Kongkong's hands, and Yu Changchang kept swearing that he didn't take it. Looking at the way he looks now, he must have gotten something from Ma Kong's empty hands, and this thing is very important for entering the mausoleum.

Yan Dufei said on the side: "Master Yu Zhuang is really enduring, he swore that day that he didn't take anything empty, I can't think of it, I can't think of it, hehe." ”

Yu Changchang heard his sarcastic words, but he didn't care, took the strangely shaped iron rod from Zhuang Ding's hand and said, "This is what Ma Kongkong handed over to me that day." It's just that Yun Feiyang always thought it was a map, but he didn't expect that it was an indispensable tool for opening the mausoleum. ”

As he spoke, he dismantled the iron rods into iron rods of different lengths, and then put several Zhuang Ding into their backpacks, and then continued: "Ma Kongkong once told me that all emperors and nobles, after being buried, must use stone pillars against the tomb door to prevent thieves from entering the tomb. This stone pillar weighs more than 1,000 catties, and it can't be opened by manpower alone. When he robbed the Cao Mausoleum in Beibi Mountain, he actually thought of this tool, which was to use this hook-shaped iron rod to stretch through the crack in the tomb door to lasso the stone pillar, and slowly push it open, and the tomb door naturally opened. Haha, Ma Kongkong is dead now, and only I know how to build this thing. ”
