Chapter 266 The Tomb of Three Lights

Although it has been a whole night, the wind speed in the robbery cave has not decreased, but after a night of air circulation, the rancid and moldy smell mixed in the wind blowing from the tomb has been greatly reduced. It doesn't smell so pungent anymore.

With the wind blowing through the night, the air blown from the tomb should be safe, and all the air in the tomb should have been changed, so Chen Ziyang felt that the gas mask should not be needed at this time, so He and Li Bojian only wore dust-proof glasses and hard hats with headlamps installed.

With the light of the headlamp on the hat, Chen Ziyang saw that many broken soils on the side walls of the robbery cave that had been blown by the wind all night were blown down by the wind, and the inside of the robbery cave was covered with a layer of floating soil.Although the inside of the robbery cave was relatively dirty, Chen Ziyang felt that the floating soil should just be able to help him.

About two-thirds of the way through the robbery cave, Chen Ziyang stopped suddenly, lying there fiddling with something under the robbery cave.Li Bojian behind him was already very nervous. When he saw Chen Ziyang, he stopped, thinking that he was in some danger, and kept asking about Chen Ziyang's specific situation.

After appeasing Li Bojian, Chen Ziyang continued to be busy there.It wasn't until Li Bojian behind him got a little impatient that Chen Ziyang continued to crawl forward.Li Bojian, who crawled to this position behind him, looked down.

The bottom of the robbery hole is nothing special except for the wooden planks covered with broken soil, and I don't know what Chen Ziyang has been doing here for a long time.Just as she looked down for a while, Chen Ziyang climbed two meters forward.Fearing that she would be left alone in the robbery cave, Li Bojian hurriedly followed Chen Ziyang to climb forward. She didn't want to be left behind.

Although both of them were carrying a lot of things, and both of them had things tied around their ankles, there was a trailer under the oxygen tank that Chen Ziyang was carrying, and the 100-meter-long air duct that Li Bojian was carrying was not It is too heavy, but it is too big and takes up a lot of space, so two people can climb very quickly.Not long after, the two climbed to the end of this 30-meter-long robbery hole.

The end of the robbery hole was not opened. When digging here last time, Chen Ziyang brought down a large piece of broken soil with a shovel. After seeing that the robbery hole was dug through, because he was worried that the gas in the tomb would be poisonous, he Chen Ziyang quickly turned around and climbed out of the robbery hole.

Now there is only a football-sized hole in front of the robbery cave, and bursts of cold wind are constantly blowing out of this hole.Chen Ziyang took out his engineering shovel and continued to expand the area of ​​the hole.

There was only a thin layer of soil left at the end of the robbery hole, so with a few shovels down, the hole had been enlarged by Chen Ziyang to a size that could allow a person to pass through.Chen Ziyang pawed the side of the hole with both hands, stuck his head in, and looked around, left and right, back and forth by the light of the headlamp.

The place where the robbery hole connects is just as Chen Ziyang guessed before, it is a tomb passage, but the width and height of this tomb passage are much larger than he imagined. Judging from the scale of the tomb passage, the tomb must be Not small.

It is precisely because of this that the robbery cave is still more than one meter away from the bottom of the tomb passage.But the distance of more than one meter was not a problem, so Chen Ziyang retracted his head and continued to expand the hole to the same size as the robber's hole.Then he stretched the engineer shovel back, cut off the hemp rope tied around his ankle with force, turned over and jumped into the tomb passage.

The inside of the tomb passage is relatively dry, and there are no traces left after being soaked in water for a long time as Chen Ziyang imagined before.It seems that this place for keeping corpses is definitely well-deserved of its reputation. After being soaked in so many waters, it can still maintain such a dry degree, but I don't know where the water went.After pulling out the oxygen cylinder from the tomb passage, Chen Ziyang connected Li Bojian and the 100-meter-long catheter together.

It was the first time she saw Li Bojian in the tomb, looking around in fear, but after looking at it for a while, her expression became a little relaxed, and then he said to Chen Ziyang: "Are you really sure this is a tomb? How can I not I can’t tell that there are traces of the tomb here, it’s not the same as the tomb in the movie at all, it’s all dirt, isn’t this just a cellar?”

Originally, Chen Ziyang looked at Li Bojian with admiration. He didn't expect this woman to recover from the tension in such a short time, but after listening to Li Bojian's words, he realized that Li Bojian didn't think this was a tomb, so she relaxed. .

The beams of the headlights of the two people are relatively strong, and the light is relatively far in this unobstructed underground space. Although the end of the tomb passage cannot be seen from the left and right, within the field of vision of the two people, except for a slightly square tomb passage Besides, there was nothing else at all, not a single brick, not a single tile, no wonder Li Bojian thought so.

"This tomb is called the Sanguang Tomb. It has been stolen many times, so it has become what it is now. It is impossible to dig such a long cellar. Don't worry, I never lied to you. This place should indeed be a tomb. tomb."

"What is the Sanguang Tomb? I have heard of the Sanguang policy of the Japanese devils, but I have never heard of the Sanguang Tomb." Li Bojian asked curiously.

"The so-called Sanguang Tomb refers to the tomb left after at least three large-scale robbing. Generally speaking, the tomb-robbing sects that you are familiar with from novels all have their own specialties. For example, Mojin School Wei You is particular about not touching gold when the cock crows, and only three or five things are taken from the tomb at the same time. There are also some other sects who have their own particulars, but those are all in the novel or in the past.

From ancient times to the present, as long as people with some strength carry out large-scale tomb robbery activities, they will collect all the things in the tomb. Otherwise, if they only take out a few things from the tomb, it will not be enough for the cost of the tomb robbery.

Especially since the period of warlord melee in the Republic of China, almost every warlord in that period had something to do with tomb robbers. They commanded their soldiers to dig various large tombs, stole funerary objects from them, and then sold them to others. Foreigners, in exchange for the weapons, ammunition and military pay they need.

So from then on, as long as there is a large-scale tomb robbery activity, basically there will be nothing left in the tomb. The tomb left after being dug by this method of tomb robbery is called the Sanguang Tomb.

The first light of the Sanguang Tomb refers to the fact that after the tomb was excavated, all valuables in the tomb were taken away, including funerary objects or the contents of the coffin. Once the coffin was opened, there was nothing left.

Later, the person who discovered the tomb again carried out the second large-scale robbery of the tomb, that is, the second light.The main items dug by the second light thieves are the things left after the first light.Including unwanted coffins and corpses in the coffin, as well as some things placed on the side walls of the tomb passage, such as candlesticks, or some large and worthless accessories.

For example, the pillars carved with patterns in the tomb, or some other things.After the second light, the tomb was basically considered light, and there was nothing left.

Then it was the third light. Those who discovered the tomb for the third time would only see that the tomb had become like this, and there was nothing to take at all, but at least they found such a large tomb. They came away empty-handed, so they set their sights on what the first two groups didn't want.

For example, the tomb bricks on the floor and side walls of the tomb for reinforcement of the tomb, or the remaining murals, were also pasted with special adhesive tape and taken away.After the third robbery, the tomb became what we see now.

This is because the scale of this tomb is relatively large, so the shape of the tomb passage can still be seen. If it is a smaller tomb, after Sanguang's robbery, the tomb looks like an underground soil hole. Only people who read Fengshui can judge the appearance of the tomb from the shape of the earth hole, and other people can't tell that it is a tomb that once existed. "

"You seem to know this tomb very well. In fact, I've always wanted to ask you how you know there is such a tomb under this villa."

"Everyone has their own purpose, so don't worry about me. Let's get what we need. You came here to see if there are any clues that the villa is on fire, and I have other purposes. Don't say anything else. Come on, let's hurry up, I guess the people following us will be here soon. I even prepared a big gift for them."

"So, where are we going?"

Chen Ziyang looked around the tomb passage, and he didn't know which direction to go, but Lao Lu told Chen Ziyang before that the location where they dug the robbery cave should be on the west side of this villa, so Chen Ziyang Zi Yang guessed that it was right to go west.

But the most annoying thing is the weird magnetic field near the tomb, which made Chen Ziyang's compass useless.It's okay now, there are only two roads on the left and right, and from the location of the previous robbery cave, we can judge the approximate direction of southeast, northwest, but if the scale of this tomb is very large, it is easy to get lost if you go deeper into it.

Li Bojian helped Chen Ziyang put the bundled catheter on the oxygen cylinder, and then Chen Ziyang pulled the oxygen cylinder, and the two walked towards the west side of the tomb passage together.

After a night of ventilation, the air in the tomb passage is still good. Although there are some unpleasant smells mixed in, after this kind of air is inhaled into the lungs, it does not give people a feeling of discomfort. So Chen Ziyang led Li Bojian to move forward boldly.

This tomb passage was very long, the more he walked forward, the more Chen Ziyang knew that he was going in the right direction.Because the more you walk forward, the more and more obvious the traces of digging with various tools left on the side wall of the tomb passage.

Walking to a place in the tomb passage, Chen Ziyang stared at the traces on the tomb passage carefully, and then he explained to Li Bojian that these traces were new and old, obviously from different ages, which also verified Chen Ziyang had previously speculated that this tomb was a Sanguang tomb. This tomb had undergone at least several large-scale looting and excavations. These traces should have been left when the tomb bricks or other things were removed from the side walls of the tomb passage.

However, these traces all have a common feature, that is, the edges of these traces are relatively smooth.It seems that what Lao Lu said before is correct. This tomb was indeed soaked in a lot of water, so these traces became like this.

Even if these traces have been left for a long time, the edges of these traces should not be so smooth.Only after a long period of immersion in water did the edges of these traces become what they are now.

Looking at these traces, Chen Ziyang shouted in his heart that it was lucky that the tomb was relatively strong when it was built, otherwise, it would have collapsed after being soaked in the water plant for so long.It seems that the soil in the corpse farm is very strange. Even if they are very afraid of water, they will quickly drain the water in the soil.

After walking for a while, the two finally walked out of the tomb passage.In front of them is a relatively large space, and Chen Ziyang estimated that the funerary objects should have been placed here before.Because there are a lot of traces of excavation on one wall here, and they are also very dense.

However, half of this space has collapsed. It seems that the previous soaking in water did cause relatively large damage to the tomb. Chen Ziyang guessed that this is because this is the edge of the tomb. If you go deeper , the larger the space of the tomb, the larger the collapsed area inside. It is very likely that the main tomb has completely collapsed.

When he reached the collapsed place, Chen Ziyang used an engineering shovel to dig out the collapsed soil. He wanted to see if there was anything else in the collapsed soil.This helped him determine the geological structure above the chamber.

If the soil is mixed with relatively large stones, it is very likely that the top of this space is a certain mountain that he can see in the villa.

But after digging a few times in different places, Chen Ziyang didn't see what he wanted, and there was nothing else in the collapsed things except soil.

During the whole process, Li Bojian followed Chen Ziyang closely, and even several times, when Chen Ziyang swung his engineering shovel, Li Bojian would come forward and grab him by the corner of his clothes or his lower back .This is a manifestation of Li Bojian's fear, after all, even a man would be afraid if he is in such a dark space for a long time.

Because Li Bojian was always close to Chen Ziyang, Chen Ziyang was afraid that he would hurt her when he wielded the engineering shovel. Anyway, he couldn't dig anything, so he simply stopped digging.

But Chen Ziyang, who looked back at Li Bojian, yelled "Oops."
