Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 4700
Zuo Junmo smiled lightly and said, "I'm discussing with Fengtang about the arrangement of going to the tomb tomorrow."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, looked at the full moon above her head, and teased: "Qingfengmingyueye, I thought you were going to say something arty, but I didn't expect you to talk about it, hehe..."

Zuo Junmo smiled, "Elegant or vulgar, each has its own merits, it all depends on the perspective and angle of the person looking at things."

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Brother Zuo is right. I, Luo Fengtang, am a rough person. I don't know how to write poems and songs. I only know how to wield swords and swords. But in the shadow of swords and swords, I think it's not interesting."

Zuo Junmo nodded to show his agreement with Luo Fengtang's words.

"Me too, compared to those romantic things, I prefer to plunge into my warehouse and work on spring mechanisms all day long, so that I can sleep and forget food." He said.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, then I'm also a casual person. I like to do business, and I like to lie on the mountain of gold and silver and count the silver.

The three looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, the two of them continued to discuss tomorrow's itinerary. Yang Ruoqing sat aside and listened carefully...

"After you left in the first month of the lunar year, I gathered people with good water skills and good skills and dived into the underground river again, and checked carefully at the gate of the underground palace and the vicinity to make sure that there was no such thing as Qing'er said in the water. A big strange fish without eyes, and then I took a waterwheel that I have been thinking about in the past two years to get there."

"It took nearly a month of hard work to finally pump out the water in that section of the dark river, and the upper reaches were also blocked."

"The water level at the entrance of the tomb is about this deep now, and it can't be pumped anymore..."

Zuo Junmo raised his hand and gestured.

Yang Ruoqing looked at it, it was about her waist.

"It's a big project to block a section of the river on the ground and drain the water in the middle section, let alone an underground river? Brother Zuo is really amazing, I admire you!" Yang Ruoqing turned to Zuo Junmo. Thumbs up, with sincere admiration on his face.

Although they all know how to dive, they always feel uneasy doing things in the water, and they always feel that there are unknown dangers underwater.

And because of the water flow and pressure, it is even more difficult to open the stone door under the water.

Now Zuo Junmo has dug out all the water in that section, and a large part of the stone gate is exposed, so it is much more convenient.

"The amount of this project is too large, and it requires skill. If it weren't for Big Brother Zuo, other people would be helpless. It's really admirable!" Luo Fengtang also sincerely praised.

Zuo Junmo was praised by these two couples in turn, and his old face turned slightly red.

He picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, and said, "Although I have cleared the entrance barrier, the upstream spring has been seeping water, and the water level at the stone gate of the tomb has been slowly rising these days. The season changes, and it may not last for a few days before breaking through the obstacles I set, so we have to go down as soon as possible and come out as soon as possible.”

Both Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang nodded: "Leave early tomorrow morning!"

Yang Ruoqing asked Zuo Junmo again: "Brother Zuo, have you found the mechanism to open the Shimen?"

Zuo Junmo shook his head: "I've thought about it, but I haven't found anything so far."

"That kind of stone door should be difficult to break through with brute force." Luo Fengtang said, last time he had already dived to the bottom, and he was the one who discovered the stone door first.

Zuo Junmo said: "When the time comes, we will look for the mechanism first, if we can't find it, we will use explosives."

He is a descendant of the Mohist school, if he really can't find the mechanism button and has to fall to the point of using explosives to open the door, that would be really shameful.

However, in order to go in and find out, you have to lose your face.

"By the way, Brother Zuo, what is the origin of that ancient tomb hidden under the dark river in the cave? Do you locals have any rumors?"

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with watching the moon tonight, Yang Ruoqing asked curiously while propping her chin with one hand.

Because in every place, there are some local things handed down.

For example, in Mianniu Mountain, there is an unremarkable tomb near Xiangjiazhuang. Many older people say it is the emperor's tomb.

Yang Ruoqing couldn't believe that there would be an emperor buried in such a slope made of rubble!
But people of the older generation said that, and the adults in the family told the children to herd cattle not to pass by the emperor's grave, as it would disturb them.

Yang Ruoqing sometimes thinks that one day she will get interested and dig up the emperor's grave.

Zuo Junmo's voice sounded, pulling Yang Ruoqing back from her thoughts.

"The tomb hidden under the dark river, apart from the few of us, the few brothers under my hand who helped pump the water knew about it, but although the big guy was born and raised here, he had never heard of it. Related rumors." He said happily.

Yang Ruoqing was a little disappointed. What Zuo Junmo said next made her eyes light up again.

"However, I saw such a record in the county annals of Huguang County, which may be related to the ancient tomb."

"What record?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.

Zuo Junmo thought about it carefully, and said: "According to the records of Huguang County, before the Great Qi Dynasty, our Huguang County and even Wanghai County belonged to a small country called 'Yue'."

"The tomb under the dark river is from the Moon Kingdom period?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Zuo Junmo shook his head: "No, that tomb already existed in the Yue Kingdom. There were rumors in the Yue Kingdom at that time that the tomb was an ancient tomb handed down from the dynasty before the Yue Kingdom. It is said that the tomb was buried in the ancient tomb. It was a very remarkable person at that time. Only these two sentences were mentioned in the county annals, but the location is unknown, and only water was mentioned, but the most important thing in Huguang County is water."

"The Moon Kingdom before Daqi?" Luo Fengtang pondered.

"From the founding of Dazu to Qi Xingyun's generation of emperors, it has gone through three generations and nearly a hundred years of foundation. Before Daqi, this continent was said to be divided into pieces. There are not only the Liao Kingdom in the north, but also the Jin Kingdom, Yuan Kingdom, and the central part. In the Central Plains, there are Qi State, Lu State, Yue State and Chu State to the south, and Shu State to the west. There are many small countries in southern Yunnan, the army is in chaos, and the heroes are separated. Finally, the Tuoba clan of Daliao in the north annexed other small countries next to them. , established the present-day Daliao, the Qi family in the central part surrendered to the Moon State and Chu State, etc. Qi Xingyun’s grandfather established the Great Qi, and the same is true in the west! And this chaos and melee, until the two great powers of the North and the South appeared, and in the middle went through century!"

"Since that tomb existed before the Moon Kingdom, it has been at least 200 years so far, it is indeed a long time!" Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruoqing looked at him in shock.

Not only was he shocked by his erudition in history books, but he was also shocked that he, who is usually reticent and cherish words like gold, could speak such a long sentence in one breath tonight.

In other words, the small countries he talked about before Daqi sounded somewhat similar to the situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms recorded in the history textbooks of previous lives.

Here, Zuo Junmo also took over the conversation: "What brother Fengtang said is very true, and so on, that ancient tomb most likely does not belong to the Yue Kingdom era, but was left by the dynasty before the troubled times!"
