Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

The incense burner was covered with a turban. Seen from behind, his big white head was particularly eye-catching in the dark forest, but he walked lightly and swiftly. Several times I almost saw him as a ghost wandering there.

We have already entered the snake-infested area, but in the dark night, with the light of the flashlight alone, even if the snake is swimming in the grass, it is difficult to find it no matter how close we are.This depends on the rich experience of the unique school and the sensitive senses of the incense burner.

The turban student sometimes likes to silently follow behind the team and be the last one for us, so that I often have to look back for fear that he will suddenly disappear again.

But now he took the lead, rushing to the front about ten meters away to test the situation. Whenever he waved his hand to signal safety, we strode to follow.

The mountains and forests are humid, and the air humidity at night is high. A wave of moisture is inhaled into the nasal cavity, as if the whole body is frozen in a layer of invisible frost. The pores on the skin are opened to the largest, allowing the moisture to seep in.

Ah Ling suddenly said: "It's here."

The incense burner was still surveying the surroundings from afar.Dumen Dupai stopped, and kicked the wet mud a few times: "Well, it should be here, Xiao Shen, take out the measuring table, ruler and shovel."

"Okay!" Shen Er was full of energy, picked a flat and dry stone pile and put A Ling down, and said a few words of tender care, then eager to try, he and A Que quickly dug out the tools they needed from the mountaineering bag .

I looked around, but the incense burner was still standing in the distance and did not come back, probably to give us a lookout.I squatted in front of the Dumen Dupai and asked, "Master, are you digging here?"

The Dumen Dupai looked serious, nodded and said: "This tomb has three chambers in the front, middle and back. It is a huge scale for ordinary people. This Fengshui master is probably a well-known figure." When the master said this, the two The eyes are bright and the spirit is shining. I think the larger the tomb is, the more it confirms the theory that there is a compass in the tomb that can summon Yin soldiers.

Then, he continued: "The miscellaneous family and Ling girl roughly confirmed the situation of this tomb yesterday, and estimated that the structure is probably an imitation of the Ming and Qing tombs. The front and back are auxiliary rooms. They should be the objects used by the owner of the tomb. A folk Fengshui master, I don’t expect to have anything valuable.” We nodded, knowing that the purpose of the independent sect is to directly attack Huanglong. "The main tomb is probably a joint burial with two coffins, and there should be fourteen layers of blue bricks on the top."

Shen Er shouted: "How do you dig such a thick roof?"

The unique sect smiled, showing a scheming expression: "To deal with this kind of tomb, of course, it is not necessary to open a hole in the ceiling. The robbers have to drill the hole obliquely. After going down, turn around and go straight through the back wall of the tomb."

Shen Er nodded in benefit.The Dumen Dupai packed the Luoyang shovel and handed it to me: "Disciple, dig as hard as your teacher said."

The last four words are really "every word punishes my heart". I froze my expression, looked at Shen Er, and then at A Que. It is true that no one here is reliable, and the remaining master and the injured A Ling girl can't do physical work. Lao Tzu Only resignation.

The independent faction patted me and said, "Practice more, and remember carefully, shoveling and digging holes is a technical job, not for you to just dig the soil."

I nodded humbly, expressing that I would bear in mind the teachings of my master.

Dumen Dupai cat lay on the ground with a waist, measured it with a ruler for a long time, pointed to a place and drew a cross with a stone: "Shovel from here."

I picked up the Luoyang shovel and walked over.

The shovel handle of the Luoyang shovel is divided into sections, and the shovel is connected one by one. After hitting about ten meters, the Dumen Dupai suddenly stopped, indicating that I can pull it out.The first step is not to dig a hole directly, but to shovel down to detect the soil quality around the underground tomb.

The invention of the Luoyang shovel can be described as the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people. The shovel head is quite different from other shovels.When the shovel comes up, it will bring out the soil deep underground.

After I took out the shovel completely, Dumendupai dug a piece of soil from the head of the shovel, pressed it in the palm of my hand, and sniffed it.The soil below seemed wetter than the one on the ground, stained with a little water, and it looked like crystal light in the light.

The Dumen Dupai frowned and said, "I'm afraid there is water in the tomb, and after getting wet, it will attract unclean things."

After all, Shen Er was influenced by the tomb-robbing deeds of the ancestors of the Shen family, and his face turned pale when he heard this: "Master, do you want to say that the corpse may transform into a bloody monster or something?"

When Ah Que heard this, he was also trembling with fright, and quickly hid behind me: "Will it... will it crawl out of the soil?"

The independent sect waved their hands confidently and said: "Don't be afraid, the tomb of the blood corpse is equipped with an anti-theft fire roof, an acid roof or a tomb with a cinnabar layer. What? A compass? Haha!"

The independent school smiled unrestrainedly, and I said to myself, master, don't you really care about that compass!

However, the old native masters who were taught by the independent sect in the Changsha area originally had many taboos against tomb robbers.The Dumen Dupai was arrogant and unruly when he was young, and he had no scruples in his mouth, so he disagreed with the teacher's school and established his own school.

The unique faction stroked his beard and thought for a while: "I think that even if the corpse changes, it has already been killed by the wizards who have entered the tomb for decades."

What he said seemed to have deep meaning, but at this moment I didn't have time to ask clearly.

The Dumen Dupai patted me, and then pointed to the ground: "Teacher, it's time to start digging a hole. Go southeast at a 65-degree angle, and turn to the west vertically at about 18 meters."

I groaned softly, looked at the incense burner, and had no choice but to comfort myself, there was a zongzi specialist sitting in town, and the soldiers came to cover it with water and soil, to see if the blood corpse zongzi could beat my master incense burner.

The master said that after finding out the location, it is skillful to dig a hole when it comes to the official shovel. It seems simple for a powerful tomb robber to dig a hole, but it is full of knowledge and superb skills. It can be achieved that there is no mound on the ground at the entrance of the cave.

Of course I don't have the superb hole-punching skills of a veteran, but it's not satisfactory, and there is a master at the side to guide, and the others are watching calmly at this moment. nervous.

Thanks to the days when I was a farmer in the countryside, my father Kong Wu was strong and I also developed some muscles in my arms. After digging a few times, I felt quite comfortable.

After about an hour, I had already gone deep into the ground, and I sent them to file in from behind, and followed my buttocks to get down.

The 65-degree inclined hole is not easy to climb. You have to support the walls on both sides to move down a little bit. I was pressed at the bottom, and I was somewhat flustered. I was afraid that if the person above slipped and fell, I would be buried alive.

The unique school repeatedly reminded me that the diameter of the robbery hole should not be too large, and it should be round, leaving a small hole for the footsteps. I dug carefully, like a groundhog.

When I was about to turn around, I thought of something: "Fen... is that hanging eye following us?"

The independent sect said: "Stay outside with Ling girl and watch the wind."

My heart trembled slightly, he was outside, and rice dumplings appeared in the tomb, who will deal with it?And we didn't even bring half a black donkey's hoof!

I said, "No, you can't leave him outside."

Shen Er probably followed at the end, and his voice came down muffled: "Xiao Wang, what's wrong with you, you're always thinking about Brother Glasses, what are you thinking?"

I didn't care about Shen Er's nonsense, I did a rough mental calculation, and said, "Master, you can also see that that guy is not simple, and he is probably an upside-down guy based on his skills."

The Dumen Dupai hummed in a low voice, seeming to agree with my point of view.

I said: "He always has a purpose in following us, don't you worry that if he stays outside, if he harms Ah Ling? Ah Ling's foot is injured, he is definitely not his opponent."

Without waiting for the independent school to react, Shen Er first became excited, yelling that he was worried about Miss A Ling's chastity, and hurriedly started to climb up, saying that she would go out and save the beauty.

I had achieved my goal, and quite contentedly followed the others and crawled out of the cave again.

Unexpectedly, just as my head got out of the hole, I only heard a few "swish, swish" winds passing by my ears. The incense burner hung upside down with a golden hook, and I tilted my head slightly to look at me from above, and ejected several shots from my hand. A stone fell into the surrounding grass with a few strands of black smoke.

He was as light as a swallow, turned over with a graceful posture, like a diver, and finally landed on the edge of the cave, and a few broken leaves that turned up stained his clothes.

Then, he glared at me and said coldly, "What are you doing out here!"

It sounded a bit scolding, and my heart was blocked, I didn't know what to say.

Ah Ling limped and rushed over, lost his balance and fell into Shen Er's arms.

"The snakes are infested, you go down to the cave!" she cried.

Only then did I understand what was going on outside. Dumen Dupai and A Que shone their flashlights on the surrounding grass and turned pale with shock: "No, they are all coming towards us!"

The incense burner frowned slightly, grabbed something, and sprinkled it around the edge of the hole.I smelled a pungent smell, Shen Er said: "Regar powder! Snakes are afraid of realgar, no wonder you want me to prepare this powder when I go shopping during the day!"

I grabbed the edge of the hole, stretched out my hand to grab the ankle of the incense burner, looked at him and said, "I don't trust you to stay outside!"

Fen Xianglu's eyes were faint, he glanced at me, and took the Luoyang shovel from my hand: "Follow me."

He seemed to have practiced clavicle skills, and he slipped through the extremely narrow gap between me and the cave wall.I hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Everyone, go into the cave!"

The entrance of the cave was sprinkled with realgar, and the snakes did not dare to approach.In the cave, we hurriedly climbed down, and when we got to the bottom of the cave, this time we changed to an incense burner to make a hole. He was much more skilled than me, with superb skills and extremely fast speed. The independent school praised him from time to time, saying that the hole he dug was perfect. , the orientation is precise, the size of the hole is just right, and there will be no residual soil.

I heard Ah Que muttering, "Sure enough, this guy with glasses is really good at fighting. No wonder the old people say that you can't look at appearances when you look at people. Guy with glasses looks weak and weak. I thought he couldn't even hold a shovel." Get up!"

The Independent Sect continued: "This reminds me of a young man who came to Miaojiang decades ago and met a young man with good qualifications. At that time, he wanted to accept him as an apprentice, but he refused. Alas...that young man and This little brother with glasses has a bit of a similarity, and it brings back a lot of memories for this old man."

I hurriedly said: "There are so many people who look alike in the world, you don't want to take in apprentices and think about time travel."

As soon as I said it, I regretted it a little.This is because the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry. It happened decades ago. Why should I justify the incense burner by adding superfluous words? At that time, the incense burner had not yet been born.What's more, now that the incense burner has changed his appearance, he is much different from his original appearance. I didn't recognize him, let alone others.

Fortunately, the independent faction didn't seem to notice anything, and just laughed a few times and gave up.

The holes made horizontally are much more convenient for us to pass through.Soon the hole was drilled to the tomb bricks, the incense burner cleared out a part of the brick wall, put down the shovel, and tapped on each brick with the end of the flashlight.

I think he was probably looking for a bearing point. From a mechanical point of view, if the load-bearing bricks are damaged when breaking through the wall, the entire wall will collapse, and the tomb may also collapse, and we will be in danger of being buried alive.So for now, load-bearing bricks must be avoided.

Ever since I saw the markings at the Ten Thousand Corpse Cavern in King Ming’s Tomb, I knew that Censer was a very serious person. He asked me for chalk, marked the brick wall, demarcated the area, and then began to destroy the work.

Sure enough, everyone has a different way of dealing with bricks. Zhang Ruishan used a small blade to cut, while the incense burner first cut a small hole in a brick, then drove a long-handled iron hook into it, and then hooked the long-handled iron hook with his thumb. The handle forms two force points between the handle and the little finger, and the brick can be clamped out.

His little finger is usually well hidden, and it is hardly noticeable that it is longer than ordinary people and has a sickle shape. When he exerts force, his knuckles are tense, which looks a bit scary.The old backlog of stone bricks has been sealed and frozen, and the force required to move it is no less than that of a jack, but his face is still indifferent, showing no expression at all.

I always feel that his fingers are used for other things, not to pull out bricks. It feels like it can be used as a murder weapon. I want to ask several times, but I can't find a chance.

When we started to move bricks, the independent school whispered to me: "As a teacher, I always feel that this young man seems to have known each other. This kind of technique and skill is quite similar to the old man who met in the restaurant when he was watching a theater in Beijing. Rie-"

I had a headache. Thinking about the incense burner, I always get carried away when I am bored with work, and I start to get serious unconsciously, so I hide my head and show my tail.

The job of wiping his butt is only done by me, an insider, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Master, the person you met back then was the lover of your dreams, so don't you go through such a ridiculous time at a time like this. Ok!"
