Shao Xiaolong's mood was relatively calm. He first squatted down to investigate, then picked up the soil with his hands and ground it carefully:
"It looks like they just entered the soil not long ago."
'We made the mark a few days ago, but we didn't think it would be convenient for these guys.'
Ah Huai seemed to be very tired of the group of people fighting:
"There's nothing we can do about it. Apart from us, there are also people who know about this tomb."
"I didn't expect they would dare to do it."
"Let's go, we can't let them destroy this place, they can't even think of taking anything out!".
Shao Xiaolong: "Any damage to this kind of large tomb is irreversible. This is damage to history and disrespectful to the owner of the tomb."
I interrupted a little ashamedly: "It seems we are also tomb robbers."
Shao Xiaolong tilted his mouth and shook his head:
"That's not what they said. All we want is a piece of metal from the tomb, and what they want is the treasure in the tomb."
"If they can guarantee not to destroy the ancient tomb and only take some insignificant things inside, we can sit back and ignore it, but how can human greed be easily satisfied?"
"I used to go crazy like them all day long to satisfy my greed, but suddenly one day I woke up. After I woke up, the rest of my life was to make up for and repay for the first half of my life."
He groped around in his backpack and finally pulled out an iron guy with a dark metallic luster:
"Hey, who said tomb robbers can't guard ancient tombs?".
Ah Huai first put down his backpack, took out the headlamp and put it on.
He looked around as if looking for something,
I asked: "What is Brother Ah Huai looking for? I will help you find it too."
Ah Huai raised his head and responded: "Xiang, look for the fragrance."
fragrant? Why does this place smell so good?
Confused, I quietly used my double eye to explore, and after scanning around, I quickly locked onto a direction.
I walked over there and squatted down to look for it. Under the messy leaves were four burned out incense roots.
"Brother Ah Huai is here."
After hearing this, Ah Huai hurriedly came over and saw the incense root, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all burned out."
I asked: 'Does this mean anything?' '
Ah Huai returned to his backpack and rummaged around, "Brother Zhang may not understand the rules of this industry, let me explain briefly."
"This is also a taboo in our industry."
"When it gets dark, I go to the tomb and the cock crows out of the tomb."
"Three gods and four ghosts, four fragrances test evil"
"When people light candles, ghosts blow out lamps; when candles and lamps are extinguished, no one is left."
"Here are a few basics."
He took out a box of long incense sticks, opened them and took out four sticks. Ah Huai inserted the four sticks in front of the earth bag.
"Three incense sticks are for worshiping gods, while four sticks of incense are for worshiping ghosts. It is best to offer four sticks of incense before going to the tomb. It is said to show respect to the owner of the tomb. Please don't blame him. It is also a test of bad luck for your trip." .
The four incense sticks were lit by Shao Xiaolong with a lighter, and four wisps of green smoke rose.
"We judge bad luck from the burning of incense. Each incense should be lit only once. If four incense sticks can be lit, the act will be auspicious. If only three incense sticks can be lit, the trip will be a bit dangerous. You need to think twice before going to the tomb. Only light it. The behavior of two roots is bad, and there will be bloody disasters, so it is not suitable to go to the grave."
"What if none of the four incense sticks can be lit?"
Shao Xiaolong glanced at the burning power of the four incense sticks and joked: "If all four incense sticks are extinguished, I've already told you clearly. Four is equal to death. If this goes down, you will die!"
"When we see someone like this, we pack up our things and run away without saying a word. We will never think twice about it."
"When the four fragrances are extinguished, people are no longer human."
"All four fragrances were wiped out. This happened to me only once in my life. At that time, I was still a stubborn child. I didn't believe in evil and wanted to follow others and force my way out."
"Fortunately, an old man I knew took me away forcibly. Several other newcomers did not believe in evil and refused to listen to the advice and forced me to go to the grave. A few days later, there were several gnawed corpses beside the grave." .
"That old man saved my life as a young boy and made me remember the taboo of four incense sticks forever."
'But our trip is auspicious, and the incense burned by the tomb robbers before is also auspicious. If you pay attention to this tomb, nothing will happen."
"I can't wait to deal with those bastards," he said, touching the iron tool around his waist.
Ah Huai bowed to the four incense sticks, then put on his backpack and started to clear the way.
One end of the climbing rope is tied to the tree, and the other end is tied to the body with a special binding method.
He and Qin Yan went down the robbery hole made by the group and saw A Huai's figure going down.
Shao Xiaolong and I followed suit, putting on headlights and it was dark enough to have no effect.
After we left, the land next to Qianling Mountain became quiet again.
The white threads of the four incense sticks rise intermittently, and the weak sparks flicker and extinguish like breathing.
Suddenly, a white line broke!
Immediately, another white line broke, and the remaining two lines of green smoke suddenly dissipated.
The four incense sticks seemed to have been forcibly blown out by something, and the remaining sparks were completely extinguished.
The incense is all gone......
...........
We descended down the Thief's Cave, and after climbing carefully for a few minutes, we hit the ground.
The feedback of the foot feeling is that it is hard and flat, but when I shine it with a headlight, it turns out to be stone slabs.
Looking ahead is a long, narrow, dark hole.
The black curtain enveloped us from both sides of the light source. I couldn’t imagine whether we would be swallowed up by this darkness without our headlamps.
Ah Huai adjusted his headlamp and took the lead with an engineering shovel in his hand: "Everyone, be careful."
"Um"
"good".
I am parallel to Shao Xiaolong, instinctively out of a man’s sense of protection,
We asked Qin Yan to walk in front of us, just so that she was in the middle, with Ah Huai in front and me and Shao Xiaolong behind.
We stopped after a short walk,
I saw Ah Huai standing there, his hand holding the engineer shovel shaking slightly. After Shao Xiaolong and I walked in, he was also stunned.
There should be no way ahead, but there is a huge black hole in the light gray wall that is extremely disharmonious, and rubble is strewn all over the floor.
Looking inside, multiple stone statues fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Shao Xiaolong couldn't help but curse: "How come these bastards are using explosives of this level in a place like this? Why don't you bury these bastards?"
The diameter of the hole cannot be said to be for passage.
It was almost like a deliberate act of destruction. Three or four people could enter together.
Ah Huai stepped in and helped up the terracotta warriors who had fallen to the ground. They were so broken that they could no longer stand.
Behind the wall are hundreds of terracotta warriors and horses arranged in an array, as if they are guarding the inside of the mausoleum from the outside.
We followed A Huai through the many terracotta warriors and horses. These terracotta warriors and horses looked very much like living people.
They perfectly present human postures, laughter, chatting, and sadness, and even the facial details are exquisitely crafted.
There will be wrinkles on the face when laughing, and there will be hollowness in the mouth when talking...
It’s hard to imagine how these terracotta warriors and horses were created in that era.
They have been shaped by the blood and sweat of many craftsmen, and how long have they waited again...
