The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 213 The End of the Ancient Tomb
"This is called tribute salt. In fact, it is the high-quality sea salt that was tributed to the imperial court in ancient Guangdong! Everyone knows that ordinary sea salt cannot be eaten directly, but tribute salt is different. It is the result of seawater being steamed and dried three times through special processes. , A ton of seawater can only extract a small handful of tribute salt, and the extracted particles are as white as jade. This kind of salt is delicious for cooking, and it is also a sharp weapon for Captain Mojin to deal with water dumplings." Zhang Sanpao explained.

As soon as I heard it, I asked, "Then you mean that these giants are water zongzi?"

"No, no, no." Zhang Sanpao took a small handful of salt with his fingers, and sprinkled it around us to prevent those corpse insects from coming again.

"The ones who dragged you into the water just now are the water zongzi. These giants are not..."

"Then why are these giants afraid of the tribute salt in your hand?" I asked.

"To be precise, it's not that giants are afraid of tribute salt, but the corpse worms in their bodies are afraid of tribute salt." Zhang Sanpao patiently explained to us.

"So, you didn't run away just now, but went back to find tribute salt?"

I immediately understood what was going on, and at the same time gave the fat man a blank look, and blamed the fat man for blaming good people.

"That's right, I did go to get the backpack that I dropped earlier. All the tribute salt I brought is in that bag." Zhang Sanpao was not polite, looked at the small hole that was about to be opened and said: "The tribute salt is not only Being able to kill these corpse insects is the natural nemesis of water zongzi. At that time, I had already discovered that something was wrong in the tomb passage, so I ran back desperately to find the backpack. Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise the water zongzi would at least have to be taken away one person."

"Damn, it's a good thing your tribute salt is good, otherwise Ding Dong and I would have to add extra meals to the water dumplings." The fat man stuck out his tongue.

I saw that although Zhang Sanpao explained how Haiyan dealt with the water zongzi and corpse insects, he didn’t explain how he found out that there was an exit hidden behind the half-squatting giant figurine, so I asked what was going on?

Seeing that the entrance of the cave was ready for people to enter, Zhang Sanpao motioned to tell me later, then greeted the grandfather, uncle Ming, and Wang Yuanchao outside, telling everyone to get ready to enter the cave.At the critical moment, I can still distinguish the priorities. I know that although Zhang Sanpao has mastered the method of dealing with corpse insects and water zongzi, he does not carry much salt. long time.

Fatty and I went in first, and Grandpa, Uncle Ming, and Wang Yuanchao followed behind.

After Zhang Sanpao finally got in, the fat man and I each took an engineering shovel, and quickly sealed the hole with soil again.It wasn't until it was confirmed that the corpse worms couldn't come in that they turned around and wanted to take a rest, only to find that the world in the cave had changed completely!
To be honest, this is the first time I have encountered such a tomb.

I have not been to many large tombs before. Li Si's ancient tomb of the Warring States Period is one of them. Although it is large in scale, it was always built on a treasured land of geomantic omen, limited to the thinking of normal people.

But the current Dayu tomb doesn't look like an ancient tomb from the beginning to the end. It doesn't have any concept of Feng Shui, doesn't have a decent tomb room, and doesn't have a single priceless burial object.

Moreover, there are deep water and caves everywhere, giving people the feeling of a large sand table buried underground.

There are many small holes intertwined vertically and horizontally on the sand table, and we are the ants who drill the holes.

Although the ancient people's science and technology were underdeveloped and their construction level was very poor, but this is too shabby, right?Could it be that Dayu exhausted his energy and used countless monsters, giant sheep-headed gates, and traps to protect only a few broken bricks?

And I really didn't expect that in the end, the scene I saw would be like this.

What came into view was not a tomb belonging to an emperor at all, but more like a dark cave under the Yellow River.There are strange rocks in the cave, and from time to time at the twists and turns, gurgling groundwater will fall from a high place and flow into the dragon vein of the Yellow River, forming a strange waterfall.

In this huge cave, there is no decoration or funerary object at all, and it is obviously an empty burial.

Grandpa, Uncle Ming, Wang Yuanchao and others who came in one after another were a little surprised when they saw the situation in front of them, as if they had never expected the result to be like this.

There used to be a tomb passage, inscriptions, and even Dayu's tomb guarded by countless monster dumplings, but at the end it was just a natural cave.

"This... why is his grandma's just a waterfall?" The fat man looked at me and Zhang Sanpao in a daze, and then slapped himself regretfully: "Fuck! The stone tablet engraved with Xia Shu was moved away. It’s all over now, I haven’t found the secret, and I haven’t even touched a decent treasure, so I’m going to make people laugh out loud when I go back!”

I took a deep breath and asked Zhang Sanpao: "Did we go wrong?"

"No, I didn't go wrong." To my surprise, Zhang Sanpao didn't show any entanglement. Instead, he looked at the plants and trees in front of him calmly, and said confidently: "This should be the At the end of this tomb, the secret that everyone is looking for may be here."

"You think we are blind, there is not even a coffin here, where can we find treasures?" The fat man said cursingly: "I see, the 32 characters Yuwen does not refer to this place at all, we are all fooled, take it in So many lives, hey, here comes a hellish hell, and the damn ones are at their own expense."

"That's right, we were fooled. This matter is a scam from beginning to end. This is not Dayu's tomb at all." Zhang Sanpao said.

"Isn't it Dayu's tomb?"

I was almost taken aback by the truth that Zhang Sanpao blurted out. Although this empty tomb is the best proof, I still can't believe it.

The ancient tomb that took us so long to enter is not Dayu's tomb.

"Why do you say this is a scam from beginning to end?" I stared at Zhang Sanpao with disbelief.If it was a hoax from the start, when exactly did it go wrong?What's wrong?And who brought us here?
Seeing that everyone was ashamed, Zhang Sanpao finally sighed slightly and said, "Oh, we were all misled by Ma Rulong and that Yuwen..."

I nodded. Zhang Sanpao was right. It was Ma Rulong who misled us first, and he translated the 32 characters of Yu Wen.

That should have been wrong since the time he met Ma Rulong.

"Now there are two possibilities. The first one is that all the 32 characters of Yu Wen were translated wrongly. We fell into the trap and entered an empty tomb full of murderous intentions that Dayu planted before his death. The second one is that Ma Rulong did not You didn't tell us the truth!" Zhang Sanpao said.
