Chapter 20 Guess (Please support! Please recommend!)
"Since there may be a 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome', there is no need to rush this moment. Lao Hu and Fatty, you two, come up and take a rest first."
At this time, Chen Ziyan’s voice came again from above.
Chen Ziyan knew that the best way to crack the 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome' was to change the direction and dig towards the side of the tomb to avoid the fragile and dangerous tomb roof above.
This will undoubtedly add a lot of workload out of thin air, so I want the two of them to take a break first.
"Okay." Hu Bayi responded at the bottom of the cave, and then he and Wang Kaixuan climbed out one after another.
In fact, even if Chen Ziyan didn't mention it, he planned to take a break for a while.
Anyway, this is an uninhabited virgin forest, so there is no need to worry about being discovered, and there is plenty of time to deal with it slowly.
"You two have a sip of soup first to cushion your stomach."
When the two returned to the ground, Chen Ziyan and Yingzi had already filled the steaming broth for them.
"Our eldest sister is still thoughtful." Wang Kaixuan took the bowl from Yingzi's hand and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Hu Bayi took the bowl handed over by Chen Ziyan and said to him instead of rushing to drink: "If there really is a 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Top', then We probably won’t be able to get in tonight.”
Although they are almost digging to the top of the tomb, if there really is a ‘Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome’, the amount of work ahead will be no less impressive. Now, there's even more to it.
After all, they had to dig from the top to the sides of the tomb.
“There’s no rush.” Chen Ziyan nodded, then seemed to have thought of something, and said to Hu Bayi: “You guys rest here first, I’ll go down and check the situation.”
He suddenly remembered that it seemed that in his Xiling inheritance, there was a secret technique for judging the position of the side walls based on the condition of the top of the tomb.
After all, the most prosperous era of Xiling was the dynasty when the 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Ding' was most popular. His predecessors had encountered this kind of mechanism many times.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, be careful." Hu Bayi did not stop him.
Not to mention the various abilities that Chen Ziyan has shown along the way, just from the fact that he was able to identify the Fengtu Mound just now, it shows that he is not a layman in this field.
And it can be heard from Chen Ziyan's words that the other party is aware of the mechanism of the 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Ding', and he will not do anything rash.
Wang Kaixuan didn't even have any objections. This guy's mind was focused on the fragrant soup in his hand.
As for Yingzi, because she was busy making soup, she didn't even hear the conversation they just had in the Robber's Cave.
After carrying the equipment, Chen Ziyan came to the thieves' cave and turned over directly into it.
Although the Thief Cave is not vertically downward, it is relatively steep, so Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan used a rope to enter and exit.
Chen Ziyan did not rely on this rope. He tapped his feet on the cave wall a few times and he landed at the bottom of the deepest cave.
As soon as his feet landed, a thick smell of wet mud poured into his nostrils.
The problem was that Chen Ziyan had already put on the mask, and he couldn't help but feel suffocated.
The smell of this underground place is really a bit high!
It was hard for him to imagine how terrifying the smell inside those ancient tombs that had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years would be.
After adjusting for a moment, Chen Ziyan recovered, picked up the engineering shovel placed next to him, and began to dig deeper.
Because his purpose was to explore or prove the existence of the 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Ding' below, there was no need to expand at the pace of Hu Bayi and the others.
All he needs to do is dig out a passage that can accommodate him passing through.
After all, compared to Hu Bayi who was in a state of doubt, Chen Ziyan knew clearly that the 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome' was below, so naturally he would not waste his efforts.
Chen Ziyan dug about two meters like this and vaguely noticed the change in the soil quality under the shovel.
He knew that he was almost digging through the soil sealing layer, so he put the engineer shovel aside and gently cleaned away the remaining soil with his hands. He soon saw the thin glazed tiles underneath.
"That's enough."
After carefully observing the pattern of the glazed tiles for a while, Chen Ziyan already got the answer he wanted.
Without paying attention to these glazed tiles any more, he stood up and left the robbery cave. .
"Master Chen, what's going on down there?"
Hu Bayi, who was puffing away with Wang Kaixuan above, saw Chen Ziyan coming up, and immediately stepped forward to ask about the details below. Condition.
"Old Hu, you are right, the bottom is indeed the 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome'."
Chen Ziyan dusted off the dirt on his body and told him the answer.
"Then it will be troublesome now!"
As soon as Hu Bay got this answer, he knew that he had to change direction next.
He had no good way to find the nearest side wall, so he could only choose a direction at will. "I have just roughly inferred the direction of the nearest side wall based on the texture of the glazed tiles. Next, we will dig to the right and we should be able to find the side wall of the tomb soon."
Chen Ziyan knew what he meant, so he told the results he got.
Although his ability in Feng Shui is not as good as Hu Bayi for the time being, Hu Bayi is far behind him in such targeted practical operations.
If it were Hu Ba, we would never be able to deduce this result based on the glazed tiles just now.
“I didn’t expect that Mr. Chen would have such a method!”
Hu Bayi did not doubt Chen Ziyan's words and immediately praised him.
Now that Chen Ziyan has determined the next direction of action, they can save a lot of trouble.
Hu Bayi immediately wanted to call Wang Kaixuan and go and get it done in one go.
After all, they are the Golden Colonel, and they still have to abide by some rules, otherwise they will have to wait until tomorrow night.
But before he could say these words, he heard Yingzi's exclamation from not far away.
"Yingzi?!"
It was only then that Chen Ziyan realized that Yingzi was not nearby.
Ignoring asking the reason, he quickly ran in the direction of the sound.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan did the same, following Chen Ziyan and running towards the sound of the sound.
"Yingzi? Yingzi?"
While running, Chen Ziyan did not forget to call Yingzi, wanting to confirm her situation.
What he is most worried about now is that Yingzi will encounter a prairie otter. That thing is not something Yingzi can fight against.
"I'm here, Brother Chen!"
Fortunately, things were not that bad, and Yingzi's response soon came back from the front.
When Chen Ziyan listened to the sound, he discovered that it came from underground.
Thinking like this, his eyes roamed the ground and soon discovered a hole in front of him.
According to his experience, this hole should have been covered up deliberately.
Without any hesitation, Chen Ziyan jumped into the cave.
Before he landed completely, he had already followed the guidance of the flashlight and saw Yingzi sitting at the bottom of the cave.
Beside Yingzi, her eight hounds were all there, obviously guarding their master.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
With these hounds by his side, Yingzi must not have been attacked.
"How are you, Yingzi? Are you injured?" As soon as he landed, Chen Ziyan hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"I'm fine, Brother Chen. I just sprained my foot when I landed on the ground." Yingzi shook her head with a smile, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.
She is not a weak woman. Although she was caught off guard when she stepped into the air, she adjusted her posture in time during the fall.
If she hadn't accidentally lost her flashlight, preventing her from seeing clearly what was going on under her feet, even her feet wouldn't be sprained.
"Master Chen, Yingzi, are you okay?"
At this time, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, who were slightly behind, also rushed over and asked anxiously from above.
"It's okay, Yingzi just sprained his foot accidentally." Chen Ziyan helped Yingzi up and responded to the two people above.
Later, he had time to observe the cave.
But it didn't matter. He immediately discovered that this was not a cave, but a man-made tomb passage.
The floors and walls are made of blue bricks, and not far away there is a heavy-looking stone door.
After seeing the situation clearly, a bold idea suddenly flashed in Chen Ziyan’s mind.
Perhaps, there are more than just the tombs of generals of the Jin Kingdom and the Kwantung Army fortress underground in this Savage Valley.
To be more precise, there is probably a huge tomb complex under the Savage Valley.
The tomb of General Jin Guo that appears in the plot is just one component of it.
