Chapter 19 Tomb Search and Excavation (Please support! Please recommend!)
Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Hu Bayi and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
It is impossible to say that they don't care. No one will ignore the crisis lurking around them.
Now that we have these lessons learned from the past, we can feel a little more at ease.
"Mr. Chen, according to what is written above, there is a Kwantung Army fortress here?" Wang Kaixuan's head turned quickly and he quickly caught another key point in Chen Ziyan's words.
Chen Ziyan nodded: "The Kwantung Army fortress should exist, but I can't say whether it is in this area or not. After all, the area of the Black Wind Pass is not small."
He couldn't tell them directly. The Kwantung Army fortress and the ancient tomb we were looking for on this trip were only separated by a wall, right?
It is easy to say, but he has no way to explain the source of this news!
"I told you, little fat man, don't even think about it. Even if this is really about the fortress left by the Eastern Army, it has nothing to do with us. There is nothing there except some military supplies."
< br>Hu Bayi didn’t know the fat man well yet, but by looking at his sly eyes, he knew what he was planning, and he said it angrily.
He was reminding Wang Kaixuan that if you want to make a fortune, you have to rely on ancient tombs, and going to the Kwantung Army fortress will only lead to a small loss.
"I understand, isn't this a bit curious." Wang Kaixuan understood what he meant and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he knew what was important.
Then everyone searched the remaining shacks one by one according to the method just mentioned, but except for finding two other rotting corpses, they could not gain anything else.
"Old Hu, please restrain those bones outside in a while. They are probably the last batch of tomb robbers who came here." Chen Ziyan pondered for a moment and said to Hu Bayi.
Although Chen Ziyan had no evidence, considering the time and place of death of these bones, he felt that they were probably Yanzi's second uncle's group.
Back then, they came here from Ganggang Yingzi to touch gold, but they encountered the trapped Neon remnants here, and were brutally killed by them.
“Thanks to Mr. Chen for reminding me, I’ll do it right now!”
After Chen Ziyan’s reminder, Hu Bayi also thought of this and agreed without hesitation.
Wang Kaixuan also immediately figured out the reason and said quickly: "Old Hu, let me help you!"
The two went to collect the bones, but Chen Ziyan did not stay here anymore. The smelly shack immediately left the place with Yingzi.
As for the corpses of the neon soldiers in the shack, Chen Ziyan said that he didn't have the time to care about them.
Letting them rot here slowly is the greatest kindness he can give.
When Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan gathered the bones, Chen Ziyan and the others continued their unfinished business.
Time passed slowly like this, and soon it was late at night.
Because everyone took turns to rest after setting up the camp, so even though it was already midnight, they were still in high spirits and not at all tired.
At this time, Hu Bayi was holding a compass, looking for the specific location of the ancient tomb in accordance with the bright moon in the sky.
After wandering in the nearby area for a long time, Hu Bayi stood in a position with a smile on his lips.
"Found it, right here."
As he said these words, the other people next to him who were holding their breath also smiled. Just found it!
Wang Kaixuan, in particular, immediately rushed over with an engineering shovel, looking at Hu Bayi with shining eyes: "Old Hu, where are we digging?"
He was now in a state of excitement. If Hu Bayi hadn't pointed out the exact location, he would have started shoveling already.
Hu Bayi took a few steps where he was standing, and finally settled down, pointing to his feet: "This is it!"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Kaixuan was already there When the shovel fell, Hu Bayi quickly put away the compass, took out the engineering shovel and started digging with Wang Kaixuan.
While taking action, he did not forget to remind: "Let's be quick with our actions. This place is not suitable for deep burial. The ancient tomb under the leaf litter will not be too deep. Let's find out the treasure inside as soon as possible." Go home as soon as possible and get out of this hellish place.”
Wang Kaixuan buried his head in digging and replied in a muffled voice: "You don't need to say anything, just look at Fatty."
Immediately, the two engineer shovels flew up and down, and each shovel fell. Every time you go, you can stir up large chunks of damp soil mixed with dead branches and leaves.
Yingzi stood aside and watched, maybe the lift was inappropriate, so he asked Chen Ziyan next to him in a low voice: "Brother Chen, why don't we go over and help?"
"This matter is ours. Just give it to Lao Hu and Fatty." Chen Ziyan could guess what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "The hole dug out will be filled with two more people, and we will help them with the logistics."
If it is changed. For other places with hard soil, they naturally can't watch, and at least they have to take turns to work.
But the soil here is soft and moist, and the difficulty of digging is not high, so Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan are enough.
After hearing what Chen Ziyan said about doing the logistics work, Yingzi immediately cleared a place nearby, lit a bonfire and started boiling water.
She thinks Chen Ziyan’s words make sense. Judging from the size of the hole Hu Bayi and the others dug, pretending to be two people is already barely enough. Even if she wants to help, she has no place to stay, so she might as well cook a pot for them. The hot soup that warms the stomach.
When Hu Bayi and his two men dug about five or six meters, Chen Ziyan found that the soil they transported had been completely dry.
He picked up a ball of soil poured beside the cave, first put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then gently twisted the soil and said to the two people in the cave: "Old Hu, Fatty , be gentle with your next move, and you should have dug the mound of soil.”
Hearing Chen Ziyan's reminder, Hu Bayi also grabbed a handful of soil at his feet and shined a flashlight over it. He saw that the soil was fine in texture and had distinct particles. It had indeed reached the mound of earth sealing the tomb.
Thinking of this, he said to Wang Kaixuan next to him: "Fat man, move slower next time."
"What's wrong?" Wang Kaixuan looked at him in confusion.
"We have dug to the soil sealing layer, and the top of the tomb should be below, so we must prevent touching the mechanism." Hu Bayi looked at his feet and said.
“Can there be a mechanism on the top of this tomb?”
"Other tombs may not have it, but the tomb under our feet may not have it. Most of the tombs of Jin nobles like this have the popular 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome'. If this thing is broken, will we be safe? It’s the same thing when you go back.”
“Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Ding?” Wang Kaixuan frowned and repeated: “What is this?”
As for what Hu Bayi said, Now he often hears half-understood things.
“It is a mechanism that dies together.” Hu Bayi explained to him: “It is usually placed on the ceiling of a hollow tomb. First, a very thin layer of glazed tiles is laid, and then a bag of glazed tiles is placed on the tiles. Bags of Western Regions Fire Dragon Oil, and finally covered with a layer of glazed tiles. If someone destroys this layer of glazed tiles, the Western Regions Fire Dragon Oil, which ignites when exposed to the wind, will instantly burn the tomb and all the burial objects.”
"Good boy!" After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan immediately slowed down a bit and said in surprise: "There is still this thing."
