At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and a group of people arrived at the last coordinate on the map—a half-arc stone pillar passed by the stream, and climbed up the small hill around the stone pillar.

The small hill is only about five stories high, and there are no big trees in the sky. It is full of short shrubs and moss, and the ground is wet and slippery.After climbing only a short distance, the temperature dropped seven or eight degrees, with a cold musty smell, and the sunlight reflected by the green leaves on the opposite mountain was dazzling, which seemed very abrupt, like a thin mountain stream separating two seasons, one end is midsummer, One end is cold spring.

Wei Jingou didn't think of a way to ask for the map anymore, and no one questioned Han Bei anymore. Among the mountains of moldy dead branches, leaves and soil, the occasional gravel slabs were exposed, which was not formed naturally.Huang Deng poked it away with the tip of his gun and looked, "This kind of crushed stone slabs are also found in the streams along the way. The old people in the village said that the passage here was hundreds of years ago, so it seems that this is not a legend." past traces.

Qiu Zhengxia asked back: "Hundreds of years ago? That was around the end of the Qing Dynasty. It has nothing to do with the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty. What exactly did those old people say?"

Huang Deng shrugged: "Old people listen to older people, but no one has seen it with their own eyes. Besides, the Zhuang language I know is not the same as theirs, and the communication is half-understood."

Qiu Zhengxia curled his lips: "Hmph! You still say that you are a language genius, bragging!"

Huang Deng: "I..."

Han Bei grabbed Qiu Zhengxia by the neck and dragged him away, "What kind of mentality do you have? Don't find fault everywhere!"

Holding a compass, Zhou Wangyan stood facing east, frowning deeply, and muttered to himself: "This place is hidden in the steep mountain. Although the two-winged mountain in the northwest is like a screen, but the mountain is hollowed in the east, and the sun is not shining at noon. The dragon's veins are like flowing water, it is really a big ominous..."

Qiu Zhengxia had nothing to do, resting his chin on Han Bei's shoulder: "Suddenly I don't understand what he said, please translate it."

"He said that the feng shui here is bad, and it's not suitable for burials." Han Bei teased, "Aren't you a Taoist priest? Why don't you know feng shui?"

Qiu Zhengxia also took out a compass, fiddled with it and said, "How can such a high-tech modern talent like Pindao be like him? Lookatit! My latest product, Duhip Xiaomi, directly transmits ground-to-air signals to connect to global satellite positioning." system……"

This function was so unbelievably powerful that everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him in shock.

Qiu Zhengxia's expression remained unchanged: "...This function is under development, please wait a moment. But the function of electric frying pan has been developed, come on, let me fry a poached egg for you to see."

Han Bei's fists were itchy: "When is this? Are you still making trouble?!"

"So the whole hill is a tomb. What do you think, Young Master Han?" Wei Jingou asked.

"It seems so," Han Bei looked at King Zhou expectantly, "Brother Zhou, we'd better find the entrance." Going in through the entrance can at least greatly reduce the degree of damage. .

Zhou Wangyan explored it again, and said sadly: "Sorry, forgive me for my limited ability, this place doesn't look like a tomb at all! If we speculate based on the orientation and specifications of the Nanyue tomb, the entrance is underwater, and we are probably standing in the west ear room. .”

"There is a large amount of metal reaction within ten meters!" The metal detector debugged by Peng Kun kept making "buzzing" sounds with chaotic frequencies.

Everyone showed joy, Qiu Zhengxia waved his Luoyang shovel: "I'll explore the west ear room first!" The shovel fell to the ground, spinning and drilling down.

Wei Jingou and Peng Kun each found a wet and soft place to shovel.After reaching about ten meters, Qiu Zhengxia cheered and pulled out the shovel first, and sniffed the mud brought out by crushing.

Under the eager gaze of several people who gathered over, his smile faded, and his eyes changed to gloomy eyes. Han Bei sensed that his expression was wrong, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?"

"The soil is wrong..." Qiu Zhengxia dropped the shovel, rubbed his hands on his pants, a little flustered: "I always feel that something is wrong."

Zhou Wangyan picked up a handful of soil, smelled it unsure, licked it again, and concluded with a wry smile: "The quality of this soil is too far from the Western Han Dynasty. We may have found the wrong tomb."

Xiang Jiuru grabbed him, eyes widened, and asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Wangyan raised his foot and stomped the mud, and said discouragedly: "More than 100 years, anyway, less than 200 years."

As soon as these words came out, Han Bei's heart hanging in his throat was relieved, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and furiously burst out with joy: "What the hell is this? It's nothing more than a waste of my young master's money! It's also harming me Suffered so many crimes!"

Everyone looked at each other in a daze, with surprise and disappointment on their faces, but they were not out of proportion. Only Xiang Jiuru suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak. Xiang Dongtan quickly supported him, staggered and helped him. Sitting down on one side, he called out "Master" anxiously.

Next, Wei Jingou and Peng Kun brought out two portions of mud one after another. There was no surprise—just like the mud brought out by Qiu Zhengxia, it was indeed only at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

"...Do this and that along the way! Play tricks! Make noise! ​​I listen to you, and it all depends on the fact that you are veterans! Look at what kind of crap you are doing?!" Han Bei He abused Wei Jingou out of his temper, and after cursing Wei Jingou and Qiu Zhengxia, he was talking endlessly, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xiangdongtan, and unexpectedly caught a hint of unexplained joy flashing in the child's eyes.

Han Bei was suspicious, but before he had time to think about it, he saw Wei Jingou bring out gunpowder, "Wei Jingou, what are you doing?" He unceremoniously replaced the initial "Brother Jingou" with " Wei Jinhook".

Wei Jingou: "Master Han, calm down, no matter if it's a Han tomb or a Qing tomb, since you're here, go down and see the situation first."

The Gast landform has always been famous for its strange rocks. Although the surface of this hill is not limestone, it is surrounded by rocks, and many large rocks are dangerously hanging on the cliff. Blowing down the entire small hill and affecting other rocky mountains, isn't it digging one's own grave?

It was Qiu Zhengxia's job to mix the explosives. He found a branch and poked a few points in various directions, ordered someone to measure the straight-line distance with a tape measure, and then used a Luoyang shovel to explore several holes in batches. He did not reach the brick wall that Amao mentioned. , and only measured the depth, he squatted on the ground, drawing messy geometric figures, and calculated a series of numbers, deftly moving explosives with his hands and feet.Han Bei looked at it for a while, couldn't understand, shifted his eyes, stared at his rarely serious side face, inexplicably wanted to laugh, but also a little moved, and didn't dare to disturb him, so he walked behind him, grabbed his earlobe and couldn't put it down knead.

Qiu Zhengxia didn't even raise his head, "My sweetheart, baby, go back to the place where I told you to lie down and lie down honestly, don't be hit by small stones."

Han Bei wanted to sneak a kiss to him when others didn't see him, so he had no choice but to walk away resentfully.

A special explosive was buried in the entrance of the cave and detonated. With a muffled sound, the ground trembled slightly, and the vibration was very large. The surrounding trees shook rustlingly, and mud spots and stones burst and scattered branches and leaves, and the ground opened a meter and a half. Apart from the wide opening, the stone mountains on all sides remain motionless.It was the first time Han Bei saw this dog doing some real work, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he lamented that he had a brilliant mind, and he was not just a waste of bragging; Biased, hate iron but not steel!

Wei Jin hooked a candle into the hole, rolled it back after a while, and asked Han Bei: "No problem, Young Master Han has no objections, shall I go down first?"

"Well, let's go." Han Bei nodded arrogantly, like ordering a servant.

After finally finding a fairly strong tree trunk, which was not strong enough to bear the weight of two people, Liu Lan tied one end of the rope to the tree and threw the other end to Wei Jingou. He clenched it tightly, and when he reached the entrance of the cave, he stopped and turned around to order Liu Lan: "Don't go in, stay on the lookout."

Qiu Zhengxia fastened Han Bei's collar, wrapped a wet towel around his mouth and nose, and whispered, "Wait for Wei Jingou to come up last."

After Wei Jingou landed, he said through the walkie-talkie: "No problem, come down."

Xiang Jiu seemed to have lost his soul, Xiang Dongtan muttered and comforted him endlessly, neither master nor apprentice planned to go to the grave.A few people didn't have time to talk to them, and went down the hole one by one. The robbery hole of about ten meters is not too deep, but how could Young Master Han crawl through such a cramped place?Shoulders and elbows rubbed left and right on the dirt wall, couldn't spread his limbs, couldn't see up and down clearly, and accidentally left his feet empty, and a large piece of mud fell on Qiu Zhengxia's head below.

Qiu Zhengxia let out a cry of pain, and Han Bei's heart ached so badly that he loosened his hands and slid down, clamped his back with his two long legs, held his head, and groped in the dark, "Where did it hit? Didn't it hit the old man?" hurt?"

"Hey..." Qiu Zhengxia pretended to cry and rubbed his face against Han Bei's lower body, "This position is so ecstatic~~"

Han Bei wanted to cry, but he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Don't worry! There are plenty of opportunities to shoot you in the face!"

The walkie-talkie was not turned off, and several people repeated: "Hey, enough of you..."

"Oh! Babe, you're bad, you're bad! You're lecherous! Others have heard it!" Qiu Zhengxia screamed and crawled down.

The flashlight was not popular, and Wei Jingou lit a fire pocket, as if it could dispel the gloomy and damp.Several people looked around, and the situation under the ground was not very clear. Broken bricks and soil were mixed with rotten wood, barely supporting a few walls, but it was still a ruin, and the structure inside the tomb could not be seen.

Zhou Wangyan came down last, found a place to lean against, and browsed around, "This tomb is too careless."

"Here is a narrow door." Peng Kun smashed the door panel with the handle of the gun three times, five times and two times, tried to drill through, patted his head, and said awkwardly: "I can't, haha! Liu Zhen, you come and try. "

Liu Zhen didn't say anything else, twisted his neck, retracted his shoulders, narrowed his waist in a "squeaky" way, got in, and exited within 3 minutes, shaking his head: "Dead end, empty."

Qiu Zhengxia poked through the ruins with the butt of his automatic rifle, but found nothing. Instead, he helped up the crumbling rotten wooden pillar, broke off a small piece of wood residue, looked at the fire, and asserted: "This building only dates to the Republic of China."

"Isn't this a tomb?" Han Bei was sensitive to the fact that he said "building" instead of "tomb".

Before Qiu Zhengxia had time to explain, Huang Deng and Peng Kun worked together to lift a wooden board blocking the way. With a flashlight, several bones were exposed under the board. , The bones are scattered and intertwined, and it is hard to tell who belongs to whom.

Qiu Zhengxia jumped up and screamed, "Beibei! There are dead people!"

Han Bei broke out in shock, and hurriedly raised his arms to hug him: "Don't be afraid!"

Qiu Zhengxia didn't land on the spot with this leap, and rushed to the side of the bones, his two dog paws pawing left and right in the bones: "Don't you wear any jewelry? Don't leave me a ring, how stingy..."

Han Bei hugged nothing and stared blankly: "You..."

Qiu Zhengxia picked up a white bone, tapped it thoughtfully, and analyzed: "It's a bloody and brutal murder scene! They hacked each other to death. The knife edge of this arm is neat but the section is seriously broken. It is obviously a heavy weapon. Caused, like an ax..."

Huang Deng raised a rusty iron ax in response to the occasion: "This?"

Qiu Zhengxia compared the incision of the white bone with the iron axe, and said solemnly: "The murder weapon has been found!"

Han Bei fell into deep thought: "What is the motive for the murder?"

Qiu Zhengxia slammed his bones, "Please, my dear babe, we are here to dig graves, not solve crimes!"

Han Bei choked and gasped: "You didn't mention the murder scene first!"

A few rusted weapons were left around the bones, and a wooden board was removed to find two severely deformed wheel keels. Besides, there was an iron pot. "A pile of junk! No one wants to sell scrap iron." Wei Jingou couldn't laugh or cry: "Is this what the metal detector detected?"

Peng Kun knocked on the wooden board: "Dig deeper and have a look?"

"I don't think it's necessary," Zhou Wangyan said with a wry smile exhausted, "It will take risks and energy to dig again, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Liu Zhen retorted: "That's not necessarily true. The narrow path I climbed just now has two hollow walls, which shows that this place is very big."

No matter what it is, it’s right if it’s not the Han Tomb. It’s exactly what Han Bei wanted. He was in a good mood, and he went back to lead his dog, “Qiaoqiu, don’t run around.”

Qiu Zhengxia squatted beside the keel of the wheel, and dug out a ball of something the size of a wine bottle cap, picked off the mud, and rubbed it vigorously with his cuff, revealing a dull white, it was a small silver pendant, distorted in shape, and the soil was accumulated on it. In the gap, I can't recognize what it is.

"what happened?"

Qiu Zhengxia stared at the thing, was dumb for a while, raised his hand to cover his eyes, gritted his teeth and gasped, as if he was too angry to speak.

Han Bei was puzzled, pulled him away and asked again: "Zheng Xia, what's wrong?"

The violent and fierce light was hidden between the fingers, and Qiu Zhengxia squeezed out the words word by word through the teeth: "This is not a tomb, I have been tricked!"

Han Bei was taken aback, grabbed the small pendant, and saw two words vaguely engraved on it - "Funeral Car".
