The three of us drooled when we heard this. How could we have heard of such things! Qiang Zi pinched his nose while listening. The old man took a sip of tea and continued,""Grave robbing requires skill, experience, and tools. I can teach you the techniques, but you'll have to figure out the experience yourself. Today, I'll focus on talking about tools. Do you know about Luoyang shovels? Generally, people use Luoyang shovels, but people here use heavy shovels. Heavy shovels are actually evolved from Luoyang shovels. It's just that the top of the shovel is a little sharp, and the shovel is much heavier than Luoyang shovels.”As he spoke, the old man opened a secret compartment under the floor and took out a few shovels. He pointed at a slightly larger shovel and said,"This is a heavy shovel. When you leave, take it with you and take a Luoyang shovel.”
After saying that, I handed the two shovels to Crow. I looked at the heavy shovel carefully. Actually, it was similar to the Luoyang shovel, except that the top of the shovel was sharpened. The old man looked up at his watch and said," Let's stay here for today. We'll come back tomorrow. I'm getting tired."”We'll kneel down and retreat
It was just midnight, and another day had passed. Looking at the night sky, he couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't easy to finally walk through this threshold. Life was tiring, but the heart was even more tiring. Each of them lit a cigarette and walked slowly. They were not too excited and just walked silently. She felt inexplicably disappointed, but she couldn't explain why. Extreme joy begets sorrow? Tears of joy?
After nearly two months of hiding in the day and going out at night, the old man decided to let us go and rob the ancient tomb ourselves. In the past three months, we have learned a lot of professional knowledge, from recognizing the surface landmarks to identifying the sealed soil layer. We are familiar with the use of dry heavy tools and using them to dig holes. Using a special shovel, one could explore the unmarked underground. Once they found an ancient tomb, they could choose a location based on the smell of the metal picked up by the shovel and directly dig a hole to steal it. With the help of the old man, we also bought the first equipment, the ground penetrating radar and the metal detector. Although the old man paid for it, he didn't like these two things from the bottom of his heart. He felt that the current equipment wasn't as valuable as the skills left behind by his ancestors. Now that he had the equipment, he also had the technical knowledge.
Enter the tomb chamber of the Han Dynasty (most of the Han tombs are pits, most of which have collapsed) and use a rolling fork and a skimming knife when pounding the soil. Generally speaking, Western Han tombs did not have a penthouse, while Eastern Han tombs had two more penthouses. This was a sign. The Tang Tomb was built with bricks. There was no glue between the bricks, so they formed a dome. It was not common to see Han tombs with tomb bricks. Most of them were pits or pits with wooden blocks. The tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were mostly made of bricks. The bricks were inlaid with lime and iron sheets. Some Ming tombs had a roof as thick as two meters, with seven beams and seven coupons. Ming tombs were usually no more than six meters from the ground, Han tombs were usually about 11 or 12 meters from the ground, and Western Zhou tombs were even deeper.
The master led the way and taught the person. I carefully memorized every word Master said because I knew that the underground world was unpredictable and that any strange thing could appear. The old crow had learned some things, but Qiang Zi didn't listen to him at all. His mind was probably filled with the breasts of the two women.
"You can set off tomorrow. There's a place called Xian Village not far from the county town.”The old man told us a story. On a night more than 50 years ago, four beams of lightning swayed in the dark night. Not long after, a loud bang broke the silence. The four of them lifted up the smoke and dust left behind by the explosion, and with the pungent smell of gunpowder, they stuck their heads out to look at the pit. The older man said,"It's not too shallow. Use a shovel to dig directly into the main tomb on the east side.”A young man jumped into the pit and began his homework. The old man leaned against a tree and smoked while the other two buried the soil. Everything was going on in an orderly manner. The people who were sleeping had no idea what was going on here. Only the old man knew. It was said that there was an ancient tomb here that was more than 3,000 years old. The owner of the tomb was a crown prince who died prematurely. He was supposed to inherit the throne and unify the world, but unfortunately, his life was as thin as paper. When the Crown Prince was alive, he was very loved by the Emperor. After his death, the Emperor was so sad that he allowed him to enjoy a high-standard five-cauldron tomb and built an underground palace for the Crown Prince. It was said that there were countless treasures buried underground for the Crown Prince to enjoy. There were countless funerary items, and the most precious one was the Imperial Jade Seal. This also attracted the attention of ancient and modern tomb robbers. They dug crazily, but no one had ever succeeded. The prince did not care about these things. He only hated the heavens for letting him die young. His dark soul refused to disperse and guarded this place from then on. At the same time, he watched the greedy people and retained the lonely soul that accompanied him.
The old man looked at the countless holes on the mound and sighed." How many people have lost their lives here for the imperial jade seal?”In fact, he knew in his heart that the odds were against him tonight, but this ancient tomb hid many secrets. His lifelong dream was to personally open the door of this ancient tomb and see the sleeping crown prince and the imperial jade seal he had collapsed. He didn't tell the other three about the legend because he wanted them to help him realize his long-cherished wish. People always have to pay the price for their selfishness. The old man got up, packed his pipe, and walked to the front of the hole to take a look.
More than half an hour had passed, and soil was still being cleared from the cave. The old man first looked at the jade and gold foil that he had cleared out from the soil. He grabbed a handful of soil and sniffed it. He poked it open with his hand and casually sprinkled it on the ground. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell why. Suddenly, the old man was shocked. He saw sand. Yes, sand!!!! The Hidden Sand Tomb! He quickly shouted at the entrance of the cave," Hurry up and come up! Stop digging! Let's go!"!”The young man outside reacted quickly and immediately climbed out to ask,"What's wrong with the old man?" The old man was so anxious that he was about to cry."Quick, quickly call them up, the Sand Tomb!!! If they continued digging like this, they would really die inside. They wouldn't even be able to see the tomb passage!!!”
When the two people in the cave heard the screams outside, they began to crawl out, but it was too late. The yellow sand carried the huge rocks and quickly buried the freshly dug rocks. The two living people inside were swallowed by the yellow sand without knowing what had happened. The old man pulled up the young man who was standing in the pit. At the same time, a huge wave of sand broke through the bandits and filled the big pit caused by the explosion. The old man calmed down and looked at the sand. He said to the young man,"Let's go. I'm not fated to see the Imperial Jade Seal.”As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the ancient tomb.
The God of Night said,"Sigh, the young man who survived is me. The other two senior brothers can't even be found now." My master was still thinking about the Imperial Jade Seal when he died. Poor people. You guys go tomorrow and help Master find that Imperial Jade Seal."
