Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 805 Iron Plate
The four people stepped forward and observed the surrounding area. Seeing that there was nothing strange, they walked into the mess of gravel and yellow sand.

The sun was shining brightly, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

It seems that the explosion just now has dispelled the previous haze, making everyone feel sunny and sunny.

There are broken stone pillars on the ground, one section in the east and one section in the west. Within hundreds of square meters, the ground is filled with pits made by falling gravel.

"Er Miao, let's dig along these two stone pillars that haven't fallen down to see what's weird underneath?" Ji Xiaoxiao held an engineering shovel in hand, eager to give it a try.

"That's what I mean too. It's incredible that the stone can actually run away." Gu Qinglan said.

Zong Ruixiang shook his head and said, "Why bother? We still have a detonator. We can just dig a hole under the pillar, bury the detonator, and blow it up. That's it."

"If the entrance to the tomb passage is down there, it will be destroyed by reckless actions." Gu Qinglan said: "Senior brother, it is better to follow the clues and follow the instructions step by step."

Ding Ermiao looked at Gu Qinglan, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's dig one out first and pay attention to safety."

With that said, Ding Ermiao had already grabbed Ji Xiaoxiao's shovel, walked to the westernmost pillar, and started digging.

Zong Ruixiang also came over to help, while Gu Qinglan and Ji Xiaoxiao watched from the side.

The sand pit was dug deeper and deeper. The roots of the stone pillars were dug out to a depth of three feet, which was flat on the sand surface.

But Ding Ermiao and Zong Ruixiang tried hard together, but they still couldn't push down the stone pillar.

The stone pillar did not move at all, as if it had taken root.

"How deep is this stone pillar buried? It's as tall as a person on the ground, and even after digging so deep under the ground, you still can't see the roots. It's terrible."

Gu Qinglan came over and said, "This is real material, it wasn't transformed by some ghost power, right?"

Zong Ruixiang swung the engineer shovel angrily, smashing a spark on the stone pillar, and said: "Of course this is a real thing, is it still an illusion?"

Ding Ermiao straightened up and said: "It's useless to get angry. Anyway, there must be something weird down here. To know what the weird thing is, we must clean up the floating sand above."

Gu Qinglan thought for a moment, took out the Luoyang shovel, and began to drill into the ground near the stone pillar.

The sand was soft, and Gu Qinglan soon found out the depth and said, "Come on, Ermiao, the sand layer here is only more than five feet thick. If we dig down another two feet, we can see the roots of the stone pillars." .”

Zong Ruixiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and swung his engineering shovel to speed up the cleaning of the yellow sand.

But Ding Ermiao frowned.

This isn't right.There was only two feet of floating sand at the base of the stone pillar, so the stone pillar should have fallen to the ground under the influence of gravity.After all, this stone pillar has tilted a lot, and the two feet of floating sand at its base cannot keep it standing.

As time passed, Zong Ruixiang sweated profusely and finally cleaned up the floating sand at the base of the stone pillar.

Everyone gathered together to have a look, and looked at each other.

After the floating sand is cleaned, you can see that there is a layer of brown rock underneath, and this stone pillar is rooted on this rock.

"It's unimaginable that the stone pillars actually grow on the rocks in the ground!" Zong Ruixiang was stunned for a long time, and then said: "In this way, isn't this rock moving with the stone pillars as a whole?"

Ding Ermiao also felt that her head was big. This phenomenon was really contrary to common sense and too strange.

The stone pillar just now was hidden in the yellow sand and drilled out of the ground. So it is certain that this rock also has a mechanism for rising and falling, otherwise it would not be so magical.

After thinking for a long time, Ding Ermiao said: "Expand the cleaning area. There must be mechanisms under the rocks!"

"Brother, you and Ermiao take a break and let me come." Gu Qinglan took the engineer's shovel and continued to clean up the floating sand.

Ji Xiaoxiao also took on Ding Ermiao and fought side by side with Gu Qinglan.

However, Gu Qinglan knew how to use a trick. Instead of cleaning from the inside out like Ding Ermiao and the others did before, she and Ji Xiaoxiao were divided into two ends, in a line, with their backs to each other.

In this way, the surrounding area of ​​the rock can be found as soon as possible.

Sure enough, not long after, Gu Qinglan stopped, squatted down, brushed away the floating sand with her hands, and said, "It's here, look!"

Ding Ermiao bent down to look at it, and sure enough, Gu Qinglan had already cleaned up the surrounding area of ​​the rock.

At the same time, Ji Xiaoxiao also saw the edge of the rock from another direction.

"The rock seems to be round, with a diameter of about... one meter. It looks like the base of a stone pillar." Ding Ermiao looked around, pointed to the edge of the rock, and said: "There is still yellow sand at the edge of the rock. If you explore further, there will be more How deep.”

Zong Ruixiang nodded, picked up the Luoyang shovel on one side, and flicked it down.

"It's very deep, a little more than five meters..." Zong Ruixiang said as he pulled out the engineering shovel.

Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan Ji Xiaoxiao looked at each other.

At such a depth, if you want to completely excavate the rock, it is almost in this area that an artificial pond is excavated.

It’s definitely not a small project. It takes half a day to work on the excavator, and the driver must be a top student from Lanxiang Technical School!
"Should we still blast it?" Zong Ruixiang said.

Gu Qinglan shook her head and said: "It's useless. Even if the detonator is buried at this depth, it won't have such power to lift up such a large area of ​​yellow sand."

"What should we do?" Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Ding Ermiao.

"Let me take a look..." Ding Ermiao jumped out of the sand pit, looked left and right, and said, "I think it might be easier to find the location of the palace within the nine palace array."

Gu Qinglan seemed to understand, and asked: "But now, this formation has been destroyed, can you remember the previous position?"

"Try a few more times, there is no other way now."

Ding Ermiao observed for a long time and began to walk among these gravels, either forward or backward, left or right, with strange gait.

After a while, Ding Ermiao stopped and said, "Bring the Luoyang shovel and explore here."

Gu Qinglan hastily stepped forward, and started to survey at the position designated by Ding Ermiao.

Luoyang's shovel drilled into the sand very fast.

After a while, Gu Qinglan came to the conclusion that the thickness of the yellow sand here was the same as that of the land just now.

Ding Ermiao nodded, asked Gu Qinglan to mark it, and then continued to search and detect in other places.

After more than an hour of this, a total of six or seven locations were detected, and Gu Qinglan finally discovered something different at the last location.

"The depth here is slightly smaller, and the bottom... doesn't look like a rock, it looks like an iron plate!" Gu Qinglan said.

"Iron plate?" Ding Ermiao was stunned, and then said: "Okay, let's clean up from here."

Four people take turns to act, working in teams of two.Replace one with another, so you can work and rest properly.

During the cleaning process, everyone also ate something.

It was not until dusk fell that a large sand pit with a diameter of more than four feet and a depth of about five meters was finally dug out.

There is also a sieve-sized area at the bottom of the pit, and the floating sand is cleaned up.

Turning on the flashlight, Ding Ermiao took a closer look. Sure enough, the bottom of the pit was dark, the color of iron plates.
