These eight gates were the Rest Gate, Life Gate, Pain Gate, Stop Gate, View Gate, Death Gate, Shock Gate, and Open Gate.
And open, rest, life three auspicious door.
Death, Astonishment, and Wound, the Three Malevolent Sects.
In the middle of the night.
However, these were all based on the feng shui pattern. As for the inside of the tomb, no one could say for sure if it was also arranged according to this layout.
"How about we go through the Stop Gate or the View Gate this time? Although the Zhongping Gate will be dangerous, it won't be too fierce. We can't figure out the layout inside. If the tomb owner really switched the Life and Death Gate, then these two gates will definitely be very dangerous.”Old Jiao thought for a moment and said.
The Door of Life and Death was not as easy to walk through as he had imagined.
One had to be extremely careful when fighting. It could be said that one wrong step would lead to more mistakes.
"You're an expert in this area. I'll listen to you!”Jia Yan nodded.
Old Jiao took the compass and adjusted it. Then, the three of them headed down the View Gate.
"This is it. Skinny man, it's up to you now." After Old Jiao determined the location of View Gate, he used a foldable shovel to clean up the surrounding turf.
Jia Yan looked around. Other than the forest, there was only the hillside. Even if the villagers went up the mountain, they might not be able to see them.
"Old Jiao, you can find a few simple pieces of wood, as thick as an arm. I'll go down the mountain to buy a live bird. When we come back, we'll build a thatched hut to cover our eyes and ears.”Jia Yan said as he turned around and went down the mountain.
The live birds were used to explore the tomb. The thatched shed was actually used to cover up the soil dug out.
When Jia Yan returned to the small town, he began to inquire about who had poultry to sell. After all, there was no market here. If they wanted this thing, they could only buy it from the homes of ordinary people.
"Chicken, duck, goose, I have them all. How many do you want?”When a woman in her forties heard that he wanted to buy poultry, she pulled him directly into her yard.
There were indeed these things in his yard, but they didn't look too big. In this era, there weren't that many poultry in the house.
At this time, people could just eat their fill. Who had extra food to feed these things?
Those who could afford to raise these poultry were considered rich in this small town.
"Fifty yuan for one! Which one do you like? I'll catch it for you now.”
The woman's words almost choked Jia Yan.
50 yuan each? At this time, 50 yuan was enough to buy a bunch of them, let alone one.
"Did your chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs grow up eating gold? 50 yuan each? You really dare to take it!" In the cheap shops in Beijing, even if the ducks were cooked and served on the table, it would not cost 50 yuan per duck.
Jia Yan looked at the woman and felt that this old woman was crazy about money. No matter where she went, it was impossible to get such a price.
"Didn't you buy it at this price the last time?”The woman was also stunned by Jia Yan's question.
If these chickens, ducks, and geese were really sold, they would only cost a few yuan each. The woman knew better than anyone else that if someone had not set a precedent for her, she would not have dared to ask for such a price.
Hearing the woman's words, Jia Yan frowned. How could there be other people who came to buy poultry?
"Aunty, are you kidding? 50 yuan for this?”Jia Yan pointed at the poultry wandering around the courtyard and said with a smile.
These poultry were basically free-range. Most of the time, they were allowed to find their own food. The owner did not feed them at all.
This way, they could save a lot of food. Only the old hen that was laying in the nest would be carefully taken care of and could eat some food.
In 1982, the economy of big cities had just started to flourish. Small towns like this were still continuing the habits of the older generation. Moreover, the food in the fields was only enough for a family.
"Why don't you believe me? A few days ago, a group of people came to the town, including Goldie's Big Nose. Two people bought chickens from me, and they gave me 50 yuan for one.”
The woman began to tell Jia Yan.
The group of people looked different from the people in their town. They were all dressed fashionably and looked rich.
However, those people did not stay in town. They left after buying things.
Jia Yan asked for a long time where she went, but the woman had no idea.
In the end, Jia Yan gave the woman ten yuan, grabbed a chicken, and left.
When he was going up the mountain, Jia Yan also paid attention to the surroundings. He did not see any traces of outsiders.
Perhaps there really was someone passing by.
Returning to the mountain, Jia Yan and Old Jiao first set up the straw shed.
The thin man took turns with the shovel and worked for nearly six hours. He actually dug a flat stone wall below.
When he heard the thin man mention the stone wall below, Old Jiao deliberately went into the hole. The thin man did not have a direction to work in. In the end, he deviated a lot from the original direction.
Originally, Old Jiao wanted to dig up the roof of the tomb. In this way, any traps on the roof could be broken. Most importantly, the roof was definitely made of soil, so it was easy to enter the tomb.
But now, he had to open the stone bricks on the wall to enter this hole.
"It's good that we entered like this. It saves us a lot of trouble when we leave.”Jia Yan said after hearing Old Jiao's words.
If they entered from the wall, they would not be too far from the ground. This way, they could enter the tomb without the help of ropes. Moreover, he could come and go as he pleased.
Following that, Jia Yan let the thin man enter the bandit cave and knock off two of the stone bricks on the wall. At the same time, he tied the chick's leg with a rope. Then, he threw the chick into the tomb.
The three of them ate on top and settled everything. Then, they pulled the chick out along the rope.
The chick was still alive and kicking after it came out. At least it proved that the spot they had chosen was safe.
"I'll take the lead!" The thin man gave Old Jiao a shotgun and took his gun. He ducked into the hole.
"Be careful." Jia Yan followed behind the thin man. He patted the thin man's shoulder.
At this time, they had already reached the wall.
The thin man used all his strength to pour down some more stone bricks. He shone his flashlight on the ground and jumped in first.
Jia Yan and Old Jiao also entered the tomb.
The torchlights of the three of them swept back and forth in the tomb.
This shouldn't be the main chamber, but the space of this tomb was not small. It was at least a hundred square meters.
Jia Yan used the light of the flashlight to watch his movements as he carefully walked towards the door.
There seemed to be two trees there. Their twigs were particularly eye-catching in this tomb that should not have been lively.
In front of the door, between two trees, stood a huge box. This made Jia Yan very curious.
