The first tomb that Cao Cao dug was the royal tomb of Liu Wu, King Xiao of Liang in Mangdang Mountain.
This tomb is absolutely safe!
It is said that Cao Cao dug up the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, carried away seventy-two ships of jewels, and raised troops for three years. It was at this time that he established the army of General Faqiu and Colonel Mojin.
The tomb hasn't been dug yet, so Chen Zhou has moved the matter forward.
As long as Boss Cao is rich, he can live more comfortably by his side and help him conquer the world.
Cao Ang was too lazy to think too much. After receiving Chen Zhou's instructions, he immediately went back to see Cao Cao.
"You need fifty people to go to Mangdang Mountain?"
Cao Cao asked doubtfully: "Did Du Zhi say what he was doing in Mangdang Mountain?"
Cao Ang shook his head and said: "Sir, he just said that you can bring money back if you go there. I don't know exactly what you will do, but I believe that you, sir, will definitely bring us surprises."
"Right!"
Cao Cao put aside all worries for the time being and shouted: "Lao Dian, you take fifty people and follow Du Zhi on this trip. Zixiu, you also go with him to see how Du Zhi digs the money out of the ground. I have a hunch." , the crossing can bring us surprises again."
Now that he has decided to employ people without suspicion, he no longer has any doubts.
What's more, with Dian Wei and the others there, they weren't afraid of Chen Zhou running away in the middle.
"OK!"
Cao Ang nodded.
Dian Wei also looked forward to hearing that he could go out with Chen Zhou.
The fifty people gathered quickly. When they arrived at Chen Zhou's home, they saw that Chen Zhou had prepared everything and brought many hoes, as if he was serious about digging money out of the ground.
"lets go!"
Chen Zhou did not hesitate and left on the same day.
Walking out of Puyang City Gate, I saw the ancient world outside. In fact, many places in ancient times were not only farmland, but also mountains and forests. There was no development by later generations. It was very desolate. Even the dirt roads under our feet were covered with dirt. Now it is snowing, and the roads are very desolate. There was a thick layer of snow.
Leave Puyang and go south.
The rivers encountered along the way were reinforced with pontoons. Those without pontoons were built on the spot to facilitate transportation.
They also brought with them fifty carriages, one for each soldier.
With seventy-two ships of jewels and gold, Chen Zhou was still worried that fifty carriages would not be enough.
Cao Ang and Dian Wei were both confused and had no choice but to follow them. They walked against the cold wind for four or five days and finally arrived near Mangdang Mountain.
"Sir, how do you dig it?"
Dian Wei asked expectantly.
Before traveling through time, Chen Zhoucheng had been to Mangdang Mountain and the scenic spot of the Mausoleum of Prince Xiao of Liang once. He was there for tourism, but he didn't expect that he would come again as a tomb robber.
He still remembered the approximate location of the tomb of Prince Xiao of Liang, all the way to the southern foot of the mountain.
From the outside, the appearance of the royal tomb can no longer be seen here.
Times have changed and things have changed.
Although the time from the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not very long, there were still some changes in the periphery of the royal tombs.
"right here!"
Chen Zhou determined the approximate location.
Dian Wei was not ambiguous and said directly: "Do it!"
Chen Zhou stopped him and said, "Now is not the time. Let's talk about it tonight."
At this time, Mangdang Mountain was completely white.
Snow can be seen everywhere, and the tomb of Prince Xiao of Liang is hidden in the snow.
Of course, tomb robbing must be done at night, so as to have a more ritualistic feel. Robbing tombs in broad daylight will destroy this feeling. Chen Zhou, who was a fan of ghost blowing lanterns before time travel, also likes the ritualistic feeling at night.
"Sir, why?"
Cao Ang has been increasingly confused about what Chen Zhou is trying to do recently.
Chen Zhou just explained: "Because we can't see the light, it's inconvenient during the day."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were full of confusion. What special thing did the gentleman want to do to keep him out of the public eye?
They could only wait until night with doubts.
Not long after nightfall, I was full.
Dian Wei jumped up excitedly first, rubbed his hands and said in anticipation: "Sir, is it okay?"
"Okay, let's dig!"
Chen Zhou agreed.
At this time, the foothills were lit with torches.
In the mountains and fields, no one else is likely to come except them at night, so you can dig with confidence.
The snow on the surface was quickly cleared away, and the fifty soldiers started digging without hesitation.
They dug very quickly, and with the help of tools, the soil on the surface of the royal tomb was cleared out in a short time.
clang!
"Sir, we found something."
Dian Wei heard a soldier's hoe making a collision sound and said excitedly.
Chen Zhou said: "Follow this direction and continue digging!"
After a while, a stone door appeared in front of you.
Cao Ang finally understood what Chen Zhou was doing and said in shock: "Sir, is this a mausoleum?"
"That's right!"
Chen Zhou looked up and said, "This is the Mausoleum of Prince Xiao of Liang. Inside are the treasures and jewelry that Prince Xiao of Liang was buried with. As long as you take it back, you can buy everything."
Damn it!
Cao Ang directly exclaimed: "Sir, you are digging up the royal tomb. Not only is it offensive to the royal family, it is very wrong, but it is also very harmful to morality. We can't do this. Let's bury it quickly."
Chen Zhou said nonchalantly: "Dong Zhuo dug up royal tombs a lot when he was here. Wouldn't it be a waste to bury the money underground? We use it to pacify the world. Not only does it not damage our moral character, it is also a great merit. Using the things of the dead to save lives , I think it is appropriate, do you want to see the people of Yanzhou starving to death due to lack of food?"
Cao Ang: "..."
This is the truth, but he just feels it's wrong.
“Don’t give up what belongs to a dead person for free.”
Chen Zhou has no psychological burden at all about tomb robbing. The dead person is already dead, but it is still a waste to hide so much property in the tomb chamber.
"Lao Dian, continue." Chen Zhou said again.
Dian Wei didn't have many ideas, so he had to dig when he should.
If you dig it back, you can save many lives. It's worth it.
Several soldiers took out shovels and opened the tomb door, revealing the dark passage inside.
"Sir, do we want to go in?"
Dian Wei looked into the darkness inside, and actually felt a little palpitated.
After all, it is a place where the dead live. What if you go in and see a ghost?
They are brave and have killed many people, but when they come to a place like this, they are inevitably a little hesitant.
The air in the newly opened tomb chamber is not circulating, and it is easy to lack oxygen and be unable to get out. Chen Zhou said: "Wait a while, where is the pheasant I asked you to catch?"
"it's here!"
A soldier came with a pheasant.
"Wait half an hour, and then let the pheasants go in to explore the path to see if there is any danger. If not, you go in and take out the things inside."
Chen Zhou said and then ordered: "Remember, after entering, light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb. If the candle goes out, don't care about anything and just run out. In addition, when you hear the rooster crow, you can't stop. If you stay here, you must leave. We can just move the belongings and don’t destroy the coffin and body.”
Cao Ang asked: "Sir, what are these rules?"
"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps."
"When the lights go out and the rooster crows, you don't touch the gold. This is the agreement between the living and the dead."
Chen Zhou explained casually.
But when Cao Ang and the others heard it, a cold wind blew and they felt chills on their backs.
The wind blows.
Robbing a tomb sounds quite scary.
Sir, this is too scary.
