Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 49

"Yes!" I remembered, before I fell into a coma, I also saw the eyeball tattoo on the back of Wan Juncheng's neck, and that eyeball tattoo was blood red. Professor Wan turned out to be from Yipintang Tianzitang?Why did he want to kill us?We have nothing to do with Xixia Yipintang, which really puzzles me.

Professor Ye pondered: "I guess they may be guarding the secret of the treasure of Heishui City, and all people related to this secret will be silenced. Remember the cultural relic dealer Fat Toutuo in Xi'an City before? Isn't he also arrested by Yipintang?" Has anyone silenced you? From my point of view, the secret organization of Yipintang was not completely wiped out at the beginning, but passed down from generation to generation, and it is still performing the duties of the ancestors until now!"

Gu Meidi said: "According to this statement, Wan should kill us directly, why should we keep us alive?"

Professor Ye said: "Maybe they are waiting to interrogate us, so we have to get out of here before he comes for interrogation!"

"Where are we? What the hell is this place?" I looked up and looked around. With the faint light, I found that we were in a dark room with a very low space height, no windows on all sides, and it was airtight and cramped. , There is still a pungent musty smell in the air.

"This is a cellar!" Professor Ye said flatly.

cellar? !
Wan Juncheng, the dog day, actually threw us into the cellar of his house.

Looking at the solid walls on all sides, I feel like we are trapped in an airtight cage. How can we get out of here?
Gu Meidi leaned against me: "I... I'm suddenly a little scared..."

In fact, I was also a little scared, but in front of women I want to show the masculine side of a man, so I forced a smile: "What are you afraid of? There is nothing to be afraid of!"

Gu Meidi pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Will that man surnamed Wan be a psychopath? He locked us here just to torture us slowly? Hey! Have you watched "Chain Saw"? I Now thinking about the episodes in "Saw" makes me cringe!"

It’s okay if Gu Meidi doesn’t say it, this statement also drew out my sense of fear from the bottom of my heart. I have watched the classic horror series of "Chain Saw", and even watched it over and over again, and I am very impressed by the bloody scenes in it.Now that Gu Meidi suddenly mentions this, my heart is also up and down. It would be fine if Wan Juncheng killed us directly, but if he is really a perverted murderer, he will slowly torture and kill us... Oh my god, I just can't keep thinking about it.

"What are you two doing so close together? Tuobagu, look for any flammable objects around, my lighter won't last long!" Professor Ye said.

I took the lighter that had been scalding hot, wandered around in the cellar, and found an abandoned cardboard box: "Professor Ye, what do you think of this?"

"Are there any sticks and ropes?" Professor Ye asked.

I searched around again, and found a broken wooden stool and a small bundle of rusty wire: "The rope is gone, is the wire okay?"

"Follow me and make some torches!" Professor Ye tore the carton into pieces of paper, then dismantled the wooden stool, crumpled the pieces of paper, and tied them to the legs of the bench with scrap wire. A simple torch would It's done.

We followed Professor Ye's method and made five torches in total.

Professor Ye lit one of them with a lighter, and the flame ignited, quickly driving away the darkness and illuminating the cellar brightly.

"Professor Ye, how can we get out from here?" Looking at the four walls, I couldn't find any hope in my heart.

Professor Ye held a torch and paced back and forth not far away: "Just now I found that the soil layer under the cellar is relatively soft, and no concrete has been poured in. I wonder if I can find a way out from below!"

"Get out from under the cellar?" I opened my mouth in surprise: "This...how is this possible?"

Although the method Professor Ye mentioned has some truth, it faces two problems.

First, there must be enough digging tools; second, there must be enough time, before Wan Juncheng comes to interrogate us.

Gu Meidi was also in trouble: "Professor Ye, we don't have any tools, should we dig by hand?"

"This tool is enough!" Professor Ye conjured up a shovel.

"Luoyang shovel!" Gu Meidi and I called out in unison.

The Luoyang shovel, also known as the exploration shovel, is an archaeological tool and a favorite digging tool for tomb robbers.Wan Juncheng is an expert in ancient writing, and his work is all related to archaeology. It is not surprising to find a Luoyang shovel in the cellar of his home.

"Can this thing help us escape from here?" Gu Meidi and I were full of doubts.

Professor Ye is not as pessimistic as we are, he smiled confidently: "Maybe we can escape from here by digging a hole!"

"Break a hole?!" Gu Meidi and I looked at Professor Ye in surprise: "Professor, you still know how to make a hole?"

In our impression, isn't digging holes the exclusive skill of tomb robbers?Most of the large tombs in ancient times had traps, and first-class tomb robbers would not force their way into ancient tombs, they would use superb skills.They determined the location of the ancient tomb on the mound of soil in advance, and then drilled the robbery hole directly into the main tomb to avoid triggering the mechanism.

Professor Ye seemed to see through our thoughts: "As an expert and professor in the field of archaeology, it is not uncommon to be able to dig a hole. We are in this line of work, so we must clearly understand all the methods of this line of work. For example, the last Excellent policemen are also the most terrifying master criminals, because the police can only successfully solve the case if they know the criminal's criminal methods. In the same way, we who study archaeology naturally know the way of tomb robbers! You two are watching by the side, Anyway, he is also a top student in the Department of Archeology, he can't even use a Luoyang shovel, and he will be laughed at when he goes out in the future!"

"Okay, here it is, the soil here is the softest!" Professor Ye inserted the Luoyang shovel into the ground while talking.

After going down a few shovels, Professor Ye stopped, leaning on the Luoyang shovel as if thinking about something.

Seeing Professor Ye's expression changed, we couldn't help asking, "Professor Ye, what's wrong?"

Professor Ye said: "The bottom is very hard, like a slate or something!"

"So, the method of digging holes won't work anymore?" Gu Meidi looked disappointed, and the little hope that had just been ignited was shattered again.

"That's not what I'm thinking about now!" Professor Ye propped his chin and muttered: "Do you think the structure of this cellar is a bit strange? Why is there a layer of loose soil on the top, but hard stone slabs are buried underneath? When it was built Why not just pour the concrete when it's time? Why bother?"

Hearing what Professor Ye said, we also felt a little strange. With doubts and curiosity, we continued to dig down.

Professor Ye said while digging: "The ground here is very loose, I feel like I am often turned over!"

I jokingly said, "Professor Wan, that bastard must have hidden some treasures under here, right?"

"It's hard to say!" Gu Meidi interrupted: "That old bastard has ulterior motives, maybe he found some good treasures at work and kept them for himself, but he was afraid of being found out, so he buried them under the cellar. Hmph, a guy who wants to be famous !"

Gu Meidi hated Wan Juncheng very much now, so his words were merciless, with thorns in every sentence, it felt like he really wanted to tear Wan Juncheng into pieces.

We worked together to dig down to a depth of almost two meters, and the Luoyang shovel could no longer go down.Professor Ye asked me to turn up the surrounding soil, and soon a circular pit with a diameter of about one meter appeared in front of me.

Professor Ye squatted down and held up a torch to shine down. Gu Meidi and I exclaimed at the same time.

Under the bottom of the pit, there unexpectedly appeared a square brick of bluestone, on which some strange ancient patterns were engraved. When we saw these patterns, our faces changed.As high-achieving students in the Department of Archeology, we know very well that these patterns are—Zhenyin patterns.

The so-called Zhenyin patterns are the decorations carved on tombs or coffins. These decorations are not the same as the usual decorations we see. They have their own unique structure and exquisiteness. According to the cause of death or the identity of the deceased, the decorations of Zhenyin patterns are also different. .For example, for some deceased who had a lot of resentment, the suppressing Yin patterns on the coffin are specially used to suppress evil spirits and prevent corpses from turning into corpses.

We stared blankly at the bluestone slabs underground, how could there be Zhenyin patterns here?
Gu Meidi and I looked at each other, a chill rose from the soles of our feet, I couldn't help shivering, could it be... Could it be that there is an ancient tomb hidden under this cellar?
"Tell me, does the surname Wan know about this?" Gu Meidi asked.

Professor Ye replied: "I must know! The soil in this area is very loose. He must come here often to dig the soil!"

We were worried. There was an ancient tomb hidden under the bastard's villa of Professor Wan. This... This is terrible. What exactly does he want to do?
"Do you want to go down and have a look?" Professor Ye suddenly asked us.

Gu Meidi and I didn't make a sound, Professor Ye said: "Don't you want to see his secret? Maybe the answer we want to find is right under the cellar!"

"Go! Why don't you go!" Gu Meidi tossed his long hair, and with a womanly look, grabbed the Luoyang shovel from my hand and quickly dug the soil.

"Quick! We have to dig here before Wan Juncheng goes down to the cellar!"

The three of us took turns to fight, without rest for a quarter of an hour, we were so tired that we were sweating profusely, and our whole body was drenched.

After about ten minutes, the diameter of the circular pit had expanded to more than two meters, and the bluestone slab below was completely exposed.

I poked the bluestone slab with a Luoyang shovel, and an empty echo came from under the bluestone slab: "The bottom is empty!"

"Look carefully. If I'm not mistaken, the entrance to the ancient tomb should be under the bluestone slab!" Professor Ye jumped down.
