Chapter 2587

It's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Weiping Mountain, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

"Hey, Xiaoxuan! Do you hear me? Is there any problem?"

Soon, Xiaoxuan's voice came from the other end of the intercom: "No one has wind, everything is normal, let's turn on the fire and cook."

Dou Sprout spat and swung the shovel high.

We don't even need to explore the pit. As long as the old man doesn't lie to me, then this is the tomb passage.

According to experience, Song Dynasty tombs in the north are generally buried four to six meters underground, while those in the south are buried at a shallower depth. After digging for a while, I picked up the soil and saw that there was something there.

In less than an hour, I heard Dou Sprout's exclamations coming from inside the thief's cave.

"Damn! This is a bit shallow! It's a brick!"

"Don't shout, keep your fucking voice down."

Going down the rope ladder, I asked Dou Sprouts to help me light up.

A small arched bridge-shaped door about 1.5 meters high appeared in front of me. It was made entirely of blue bricks. It should have been completely sealed with bricks, but it was probably broken open by the old bachelor.

There is a layer of very wet mud around the arch. The reason why the mud is so wet is probably because the orchard above is watered all year round. If we were in the north, it would be freezing at this time of year.

Bean Sprout poked away the mud with a shovel, then Brother Yu took out a paper ball, lit it with a lighter, raised his hand and threw it in.

Seeing that the paper ball burned for a while before being extinguished, Dou Sprout said: "You're not short of oxygen, can you come in?"

"Enter!"

The three of us bent down and got in. Because it was too narrow, it was quite crowded, and it was very dark, so Dou Sprout almost slipped down. I grabbed him.

After Douyazai stood firm, he said, "It's strange. Why is this tomb passage so steep? It's almost like a slide in an amusement park."

Dou Yazai's description is very apt. The tomb passage in front of you is like a slide. Although there are few tomb passages of this shape, there were some in the past, and they were usually made of steps. This tomb did not have steps for some unknown reason.

There was a niche that three people dug out on the wall. It was empty inside and there was nothing. As soon as the three of us slid down, an "earth wall" appeared in front of us. These conditions were exactly what the old man described.

After looking at it carefully with a flashlight, I confirmed that it was a diamond wall made of Sihe soil. It should have been made of loess, clay, tung oil, and glutinous rice juice. Judging from the thickness, it would be very difficult to break through it with a shovel.

"Isn't your bag up there, Mineko? I guess you need to use hot vinegar in this situation. I'll get it."

"No need to go get them, you won't need them."

I raised my head and took a serious look at it, and couldn't help but say: "Interesting, this should be a "boot tomb". The owner of the tomb played a trick. Ordinary tomb robbers might be fooled, but he was unlucky and ran into me."

"What do you mean Mineko?"

I stretched out my hand and knocked on the wall and said, "This is a cover-up. Let alone the tomb, I dare say there is 100% hair behind this wall. The real tomb is still under our feet."

"This is both a diamond wall and a load-bearing wall. Look above your head."

Dou Sprout immediately looked up with a flashlight.

I said, "Have you seen those bricks? There is no mud between the bricks. They are laying three straight and one horizontally. The bricks are laid down at an angle of forty degrees, and most of the stress points are pressed against the wall. If the wall collapses, all the bricks on top will collapse."
