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, 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 important point in Chen Ziyan's words.
Chen Ziyan nodded: "The Kwantung Army fortress should exist, but it's hard to say whether it is in this area or not. After all, the area of the black wind outlet is not small."
He couldn't tell them directly that there was only a wall between the Kwantung Army fortress and the ancient tomb he was looking for on this trip, right?
It was easy to say, but he had no way of explaining the source of the news!
"I told you, Fatty, don't even think about it. Even if this is really a fortress left by the Eastern Army, it has nothing to do with us. There is nothing there except some military supplies."
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 apart from finding two other rotting corpses, they couldn't find 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 prompting, Hu Bayi also thought of this and agreed without hesitation.
Wang Kaixuan also immediately figured out the reason and said quickly: "Lao Hu, let me help you!"
The two of them went to collect the bones. Chen Ziyan did not stay in the smelly shack anymore and immediately left 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 mercy he can give.
After Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan had restrained the bones, Chen Ziyan and the others continued their unfinished business.
Time passed slowly like this, and soon it was late at night.
After setting up the camp, everyone took turns to rest, 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 spoke these words, the other people beside him who were holding their breath also smiled.
Just found it!
Especially Wang Kaixuan, he immediately rushed over with an engineering shovel and looked 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 he finished speaking, Wang Kaixuan dropped his shovel. Hu Bayi also quickly put away the compass, took out his engineering shovel and started digging with Wang Kaixuan.
While doing it, he also reminded him: "Let's be quick with our actions. This place is not suitable for deep burials. The ancient tomb under the leaf litter will not be too deep. If we find out the treasure inside early, we can return home early." Get out of this damn place."
Wang Kaixuan buried his head in digging and replied in a muffled voice: "You don't need to say anything, just look at me, Fatty."
Immediately, the two engineer shovels flew up and down, and every time the shovel fell, it lifted up a large piece of damp soil mixed with dead branches and leaves.
Yingzi stood aside and watched. Maybe he was lifting it inappropriately, so he asked Chen Ziyan next to him in a low voice: "Brother Chen, why don't we go over and help?"
"Just leave this matter to Lao Hu and Fatty." Chen Ziyan could guess her thoughts and said with a smile: "The hole dug out can accommodate two more people later, and we will help them with the logistics."
If it were another place with hard soil, then naturally they wouldn't be able to watch, and at least they would 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 thought Chen Ziyan's words made sense. Judging from the size of the hole Hu Bayi and the others dug, pretending to be two people was barely enough. Even if she wanted to help, she wouldn't have anywhere to stay. She might as well cook them a pot of hot soup to warm their stomachs. .
When Hu Bayi and the others 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 that had been 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, what you do next is gentle." Point, we should have dug up the mound of earth."
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, slow down next time."
"What's wrong?" Wang Kaixuan looked at him puzzled.
"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 'Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome' that was popular at the time. If this thing is broken, will we be safe? It’s the same thing to go back.”
"Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome?" Wang Kaixuan frowned and repeated, "What the hell is this?"
He often had only a half-understanding of what Hu Bayi said.
"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 bags of fire dragon oil from the Western Regions are placed on the tiles. Finally, it is covered with a layer of glazed tiles. If someone destroys this layer of glazed tiles, the fire dragon oil from the Western Regions that can ignite when exposed to the wind will instantly burn the tomb chamber and all the burials."
"Good boy!" After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan immediately slowed down a bit and said in surprise: "There is still this thing."
