Chapter 273: Tomb Robbery
Zhao Ling hurriedly stopped the excited Chen Ao and scolded: "You idiot, do you want to beat her deceased husband's mausoleum in front of Mrs. Zheng?"
Chen Ao was splashed by this cold water, and he calmed down suddenly, and laughed twice: "Hehe, yes, yes, this is indeed a little inappropriate." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoLet's wait until it's dark......"
The two of them have a goal, but they have to wait for the opportunity, and they are quite impatient. Finally waited until the sky darkened, and saw Mrs. Zheng's mother and son returning through the crack in the door, Chen Ao and Zhao Ling changed into clothes that were convenient for walking and quietly walked out of the village. Perhaps because they felt that this kind of behavior was not very visible, the two deliberately avoided the eyes and ears of the disciples of the Salt Gang, so as not to be discovered.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Chen Ao and Zhao Ling rushed to Zheng Wenping's grave. I saw that the two white candles in front of the tombstone were still lit with dim firelight, swaying with the wind. The blood-red words on the tombstone, "Late Husband Zheng Gong Wenping", are a little weird against the faint firelight.
Chen Ao couldn't help but feel excited, and suddenly retreated in his heart. He unconsciously bowed to the grave a few times, then turned back to Zhao Ling and said, "Actually...... Actually, we just know that this book is in the grave, so we don't need to see it with our own eyes, right? Anyway, no one else can think of it, and even if we do, we may not be able to get it......
Zhao Ling sneered and said, "What's the matter, you're scared? Hmph, it's all here, how can you be willing if you don't take a look?"
As she spoke, she walked back and forth around the grave a few times. The whole cemetery covers a large area, and it takes a long time to walk around. After Zhao Ling finished looking at the grave, he walked back and forth in the open space a few more times, sweating on his body. In order to facilitate her movement, she replaced her original caftan and wore a samurai uniform, short clothes and trousers, and leather armor wrapped tightly, which looked very neat and sassy, but this sweat, the shirt was **, and it was attached to the skin, showing the graceful figure in front of Chen Ao.
Although in the night, only a faint silhouette can be seen. But Chen Ao still couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He thought to himself, he--, she's dressed like this, and she doesn't let people dig up the grave properly? Then again, why did Zhao Ling suddenly become so active this time? Could it be...... She also wanted that secret book? This can't be done! Master said that that book would make people go crazy. If Zhao Ling really had any intentions, Lao Tzu would not care about her identity as an uncle! Fortunately, the two heroes were no longer bent arms, and Lao Tzu was also a big man. Even if you're dressed sexy, I'm going to shoot when it's time for me!
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ao stepped forward and said deliberately: "Little uncle, why don't we go back first? Could it be that you have learned some means of making a mound and touching gold, and you can dig up this tomb with your own strength?"
Zhao Ling didn't look at him, and while observing the surroundings, he said: "In the Four Seas Alliance back then, there were countless thieves with chickens and dogs. Later, the Four Seas Alliance was dissolved, and I took the opportunity to recover many capable people. Among them, there are several who specialize in this tomb robbery. Fortunately, I was curious at the time and learned from them, so I didn't think it would come in handy today!"
When Chen Ao heard this, he was secretly vigilant and asked, "Little uncle, we don't have any tools, do we want to dig up the grave by hand?"
Zhao Ling couldn't help but sneer, and said, "I told you a long time ago that if you don't have knowledge, you won't talk much." Do you think this mausoleum is as simple as what you see in front of you? There is only one tomb on the ground, but there must be a hole in the ground. Even if it's not grandiose, at least there will be a few burial chambers for some funerary goods. ”
She paced back and forth for two steps, and said, "And it took a lot of thought to build this mausoleum, and all the craftsmen invited to it were skillful." The whole mausoleum is made of square bricks, without lime wedges and so on, but it is very stable and cleverly designed. ”
Chen Ao was a little surprised, hearing Zhao Ling say this, he couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this tomb. After reading some online novels about tomb robberies in the past, Chen Ao never believed that the ancients would have such wisdom and create such an ingenious mechanism. Finally having the opportunity to see it with his own eyes today, Chen Ao couldn't help but feel excited, and even the original idea of wanting to stop Zhao Ling was quietly put aside.
Zhao Ling didn't say a word, looked at it for a long time, and then said: "But such a structure, delicate is exquisite, but it is also easy for tomb robbers to succeed." Maybe it's because the Salt Gang thinks no one dares to go to their helmsman's grave!"
Chen Ao smiled: "Hehe, except for the two of us, no one really thought that there could be treasures in this tomb!"
Zhao Ling glanced at him and continued: "A tomb with this structure, as long as you can pry open a stone, you can enter the tomb. ”
Chen Ao looked around the mound and said, "I see that this stone is tightly knit with each other, and each piece weighs hundreds of catties. If you want to pry a piece open, I'm afraid it's impossible, right?"
Zhao Ling laughed confidently and said, "It's impossible on the ground, but it's possible underground!"
She suddenly raised her foot and stepped on the ground, and said, "Dig up the dirt here!"
After Zhao Ling finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ao. Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, then pointed to himself and asked, "Are you asking me to dig it with my hands?"
"It's not you, is it me?" Zhao Ling said with a straight face.
In terms of seniority, Zhao Ling is his uncle, and it is reasonable to order him. Even regardless of seniority, Zhao Ling is also a woman. This kind of rough work, obviously Chen Ao is more suitable to do it.
Chen Ao was a little helpless, so he had to roll up his sleeves and start digging the soil. After digging for a while, his hands were covered with mud and the skin of his fingers was broken.
Zhao Ling saw that his movements slowed down, and couldn't help but say, "Hurry up, don't grind, are you still like a man?"
Her tone was like that of a steward in the salt works some time ago. Chen Ao scolded in his heart, Lao Tzu is not a man, how do you know if you haven't tried? Hmph, look at you like that, you look very standard, but it's a pity that you have a bad heart, give it to Lao Tzu for nothing, Lao Tzu doesn't want it!
He complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off on the movements of his hands. After a while, the earth turned over and I saw a stone slab buried underneath. Chen Ao stepped up a few more times to expose the entire stone slab.
Zhao Ling glanced at it and said with a smile: "Sure enough, that's right." This slate is the last one to be covered. In this way of building a tomb, there is always the last piece that cannot be tightly sealed. You go find a stick and pry this board up!"
"Me again?" Chen Ao muttered dissatisfiedly, still going to break a thick branch.
He reached into a small gap in the stone slab and pried it up. Zhao Ling also hurried over to help, and the two worked together to finally pry open a crack in the slate.
Zhao Ling shouted, "You resist!" said as he moved a stone from the side and put it under the stone slab. In this way, Chen Ao can breathe a sigh of relief.
He felt that one branch might not be able to withstand such a force, so he went to break a few more branches. Tie a few branches together and pry them again. This time I had enough strength to eat, and I heard a "bang", and the slate suddenly opened open, revealing a black hole, which could only allow one person to pass through.
Chen Ao and Zhao Ling glanced at each other, and there was excitement in their eyes that could not be concealed. Zhao Ling said: "As soon as this board is lifted, the load-bearing structure of the entire tomb will be unstable. We'll have to prop up a few nearby stone slabs with branches to keep them from collapsing. ”
Chen Ao let out an "um", looked at the narrow hole, felt furious in his heart, and hesitated: "Let's ...... Do you really want to go inside?"
