As soon as she spoke, everyone started looking at me.
Wang Puyuan turned around with a fierce look on his face, and I suddenly felt like a light on my back.
"You lied to me."
Wang Puyuan stood up, picked up a scalpel from Asan's first aid kit, and walked around behind Lin Fang.
My heart tightened, not knowing what the old man wanted.
Lin Fang still sat upright with her back straight: "Boss Wang, you and I both know that it is my life-saving thing.
There is no need to lie to you."
Wang Puyuan stood behind Lin Fang, holding a sharp scalpel in his hand.
He glanced at me and asked: "Shopkeeper Hu, where are the things?"
I am really a mute eating Coptis chinensis, and I can’t express my pain.
Lin Fang, that bastard, still used me to block the gun in the end.
Now I dare to say "no", it is no different from committing suicide, but I have never even seen what "thing" they are talking about, so where can I change it for him?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Lin Fang secretly, hoping that she could give some hints, at least to trick the old bastard first.
Unexpectedly, she simply closed her eyes, as if she was letting the mermaid die.
Seeing Wang Puyuan's sword gesticulating behind her, I was almost dying of anxiety.
Where did Shiry Yang find such a handkerchief?
This is not a close friend, this is simply the King of Hell.
At the moment when I was thinking, Wang Puyuan suddenly sneered, and before I had time to react, I was splashed with blood on my face.
Lin Fang's neck was slashed hard by him, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
I didn't expect the old bastard to be so ruthless and not care about any affection.
Lin Fang immediately collapsed to the ground.
I rushed forward and pressed the wound with my hands, but was covered in blood.
"Why are you standing there saving people?"
I yelled at Ah San.
He trembled in fright, but there was no movement under his feet.
Only then did I truly realize that there were Wang Puyuan’s men everywhere, and even if we both died here, no one else would know.
"I want to save her."
Wang Puyuan smiled leisurely and sat back down.
I took off my coat and covered Lin Fang's wound with all my strength.
Lin Fang's face turned pale.
I didn't know if the knife had injured his trachea.
She opened her mouth several times, but the last word didn't come out.
She could only hold on to my clothes, her eyes full of unwillingness.
"It's okay, it's okay.
Fatty is still waiting for you.
We're fine."
My mind was in chaos and I didn't know what I was talking about.
I always felt that things happened too suddenly, like a dream.
I ordered myself to calm down, raised my head and asked the old bastard: "Does it count if I give you something?"
Wang Puyuan said solemnly: "It's too late to tell me the terms now."
"That's it, don't ask for anything anymore.
I'll just give it to Lin Yatou for burial."
"It's really in your hands" "Save the person first, don't talk nonsense.
I will tell you where the things are before she dies."
"Ah San, see if we can save him."

As soon as he spoke, the doctor rushed over and called several people to quickly lift Lin Fang aside.
My whole body was sticky and covered with Lin Fang's blood.
I knew in my heart that with this amount of bleeding, it would be difficult to save someone.
Wang Puyuan took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Don't think that after digging a few more graves than a layman, your head will become iron-clad.
This is your lesson."
My friendship with Lin Fang is not very deep, but the scene just now is really unbearable to recall.
The most important thing is that I don't have anything Wang Puyuan wants in my hand.
Once he sees through it, not only Lin Fang's life will be in danger, but even his own life will be in danger.
The only gun I had with me was thrown into the pile of explosives.
In the backpack I carried with me, except for half a spiral shovel, there was nothing else that could be used as a weapon.
It was almost impossible to take Lin Fang away from this group of heavily armed desperadoes, not to mention that Lin Fang was so injured that it was still a question of whether he could be rescued.
The only chance now is to break out from here first and then capture Wang Qingzheng.
In this way, we not only have the capital to threaten the old man, but also have an additional hostage that can be exchanged.
I sat there silently for a while, thinking over all the plans, then I calmed down and walked to Wang Puyuan.
His guards were worried about me, and when they saw me getting up, they immediately came closer.
The old bastard waved his hand to let them go, and then asked me: "I figured it out."
"There are a few things I still can't figure out."
"Oh, there are also things that shopkeeper Hu can't figure out."
Wang Puyuan smiled like a kind-hearted old man, but it was just a "likeness", and you would fall for him if you weren't careful.
I had suffered losses several times before, so I became more cautious, so I smiled and said, "It's about the doors in the main hall.
We investigated for a long time, and even after trying twice, we couldn't successfully find the way to the main tomb chamber.
I almost got Young Master Wang in."
The corners of Wang Puyuan's eyes twitched slightly, and then he calmly continued: "Qingzheng has little experience, and there will be a lot of trouble along the way.
I remember the hard work of shopkeeper Hu."
I said to myself, he is indeed a thousand-year-old bastard, he is so thick-skinned that he cannot be cured.
One minute he was shouting that he was going to be beaten or killed, but now he was pretending to be familiar with me.
I didn't answer his pretentious remarks and continued the topic: "There are traces of burning wax and lighting candles in front of Door No. 2 on the south wall.
At first we all thought it was arranged by you.
But after entering, we found out that it was a trap, and then we were surrounded by someone.
A slimy monster is trapped in another door.
I have never been able to figure out which way is the right way to the main tomb.
I hope Mr.
Wang can enlighten me."
"You've all tried it" "Three items have been ruled out."
"A few died"
"No one died."
"Hahaha, no one died."
Wang Puyuan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
I don't know what kind of illness he has.
Should we all die?
The old man laughed for a long time, patted me on the shoulder and said, "No one died.
You deserve to be unable to find the main tomb in this life."
I blurted out and asked: "Is there any knowledge in this?"
Wang Puyuan seemed to have not been consulted for a long time.
Seeing my confused face, he pulled me to sit aside in a good mood and said: "These six doors correspond to the six paths of reincarnation."

According to your logic, no matter which way you go, it will be useless.”
"I remember that there was no Journey to the West at that time in the Qin Dynasty.
People at that time already knew that Buddhism taught about reincarnation."
"This is because you are superficial.
All things in the world cycle and complement each other.
This is an eternal truth.
The principles of nature can naturally be understood in nature.
There are different explanations, but the moral principles are the same."
"You went around a bit too fast.
Although I don't understand it very well, I feel it is quite powerful.
I have no research on religion, so you can just tell me how to break the traps in these six gates."
"This method is not difficult at all, but if it were you, Hu Bayi, you really wouldn't be able to break the formation.
Six roads must be opened at the same time to find the tomb passage hidden deep.
The incense candles you see are not to worship people who died in vain.
We are not seeking refuge from our ancestors.
We are saying goodbye to our brothers who have opened the way."
At this point, no matter how stupid you are, you should have noticed something is wrong.
I simply didn't dare to think deeply about what he meant by this.
"You said before that living people can't find the real main tomb.
Aren't those who took the initiative to open the way no different from the human sacrifices back then?
What's the difference between your actions and the executioners?"
"Young people, they all voluntarily sacrificed their lives for me.
No one forced them to die.
As for the executioner you mentioned, I don't deny it."
"You" I can't find any common language with this cruel old bastard.
If it weren't for saving Lin Fang, I wouldn't waste any saliva on him.
I wanted to find out more about the inside story about the Queen's Tomb, but then I thought, what Wang Puyuan just said may not be true.
If he really found the entrance to the tomb, why would he go back here and specifically seek trouble for the Japanese?
Those Japanese didn't have to abandon their own camps and leave here collectively.
Ah San walked out of the temporarily isolated operating room, with a lot of blood on his white coat.
He reported to Wang Puyuan respectfully: "Ms.
Lin is still in a coma.
The wound was successfully sutured and blood was transfused."
Wang Puyuan seemed to have known for a long time that she would not die, so he turned around and asked me if I wanted to go see her.
I followed Ah San to the isolation room.
There were two bags of blood hanging next to Lin Fang.
Although her face was pale, luckily she was breathing steadily.
I asked Ah San: "You go out to rob tombs and bring so much medical equipment with you and you don't mind the trouble."
"These are all Boss Wang's intentions.
To be honest, I was brought in temporarily.
If there is anything to offend, Boss Hu, please don't take it to heart."
In a few words, he left a way out for himself, and deliberately made his relationship with Wang Puyuan very plain.
I followed his tone and continued: "A doctor is like a parent, and you have no choice.
If Miss Lin stays here, she will leave everything to the doctor."
Ah San saw that I had a good attitude and immediately laughed, not as restrained as before.

He whispered: "My surname is Xu, a local, working in the provincial hospital."
"Doctor Xu didn't know them at first" He smiled bitterly and said: "He was tricked by my cousin.
He works for Boss Wang.
I thought he was just visiting relatives when he returned home this time, but who knew that he was taken to the tomb in a confused way."
I was full of doubts.
Wang Puyuan was a cunning and changeable man.
Without a special reason, he would never just find a layman to follow him in the team.
With his conditions, what kind of expert can't be found?
Why go all the way to find Xu Sanlai, an unrelated person, to be the team doctor?
I looked at this fat doctor with an ordinary appearance and no features again.
Looking horizontally and vertically, I couldn't find anything.
Something special.
"Shopkeeper Hu" Xu San shrank back slightly, "What are you looking at?"
"No, no.
Doctor Xu looks good."
I laughed.
Although Xu San said that he was not the same as Wang Puyuan, he could not ask him for help at the moment, so he could only entrust Lin Fang to him again and again.
Lin Fang would definitely not wake up for a while, so it was impossible to get information from her.
But after I go out, I still have to face Wang Puyuan.
If he puts pressure on me again and asks for those things, how should I deal with it?
"It's good for you.
You won't have to worry about anything once you close your eyes."
I looked at Lin Fang and saw that there was really no sign of being awake, so I turned around and prepared to leave.
Xu San looked at me hesitantly, and I asked, "Does Doctor Xu have anything else to do?"
He glanced at the door, nodded and said, "A strange thing happened last night.
I think I might have something to do with Boss Wang."
I’m looking for something related, I wonder if I can help you.”
As soon as I heard what Xu San said, I felt that there was a clue and quickly asked him to continue talking.
"Earlier, we fought against the Japanese twice.
The first time was when we just arrived at the main hall, and we were repulsed.
The second time was just outside this attic.
We were ambushed at that time, and Boss Wang was even beaten.
I was injured, I thought it was going to be over, but then I don’t know what happened, the group of Japanese said to leave He left without taking anything in the room, and everyone seemed to have disappeared.
The strangest thing was yet to come.
After Boss Wang entered the room, his first order was to turn off the lights.
Little light.
We waited in the dark for a long time and nothing happened."
"Then what" "Then I met you.
Tell me, is there something hidden in this ear room?
Otherwise, why would Boss Wang come and go?
He always goes around here and refuses to leave."
I think what he said makes sense.
The most important thing is that when I came from the secret passage, there was a bright light here.
In other words, someone had been here after Wang Puyuan left.
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered what Master Yu said before he died.

Could it be that what Wang Puyuan found was the linen bag?
But there seemed to be something wrong with the sequence of things.
I thought about it over and over again, trying to figure it out.
At this time, someone outside called my name.
As soon as I saw that Wang Puyuan was waiting impatiently, I knew I had to leave, so I said to Xu San: "Don't tell anyone what happened just now.
You should take more care of me, a girl.
We will see you when we get out when we have a chance."
As soon as I left the isolation room, I was brought to Wang Puyuan.
He said: "We've met everyone, so you should rest assured.
Shopkeeper Hu is a smart man, so there's no need to waste everyone's time."
“I want to know what Boss Wang’s next plan is.”
"What Shopkeeper Hu means is" "Several of my friends are with your grandson, and their whereabouts are unknown.
I will not leave until I find them."
"My small temple cannot accommodate Shopkeeper Hu."
"Mr.
Wang, don't worry, let me leave alone, or will you plan to burn the bridge after getting the things?"
"You just can't believe me when you say that."
"I neither want to leave, nor do I want to die.
So I hope Mr.
Wang can leave a place for me in the team.
In this way, it will be safe for you, me, and Lin Fang."
"You're a pretty sensible guy.
Let's do this.
If you want to follow me, I won't stop you.
I think you have an extra buddy.
But you have to leave immediately after you find the person.
If you follow me and get involved again, don't blame me for being unkind."
Wang Puyuan is very thoughtful, and he knows very well that I will not leave easily.
Instead of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, it is better to stay in sight, so as to take precautions early.
What's more, his grandson's whereabouts are indeed unknown, and he may need my help at a critical moment.
I originally planned to leave Lin Fang behind and escape from Wang Puyuan's control first, but when I saw her look like that just now, if anything happened, it would be hard for me to explain to Fatty when I saw her later.
Furthermore, Wang Puyuan has studied this tomb very thoroughly.
The only reason why he has not entered the tomb is that he lacks the conditions to enter the tomb, and this condition is probably because he has been threatening Lin.
Fang reasons.
Logically speaking, Lin Fang had no contact with Master Yu, and the things hidden in the linen bag might not be what Wang Puyuan wanted to find.
But when things got to this point, I could only take a gamble.
If things went wrong, I would not blame the society or the Party, but I would blame myself for thinking too much.
I reached out and took out the linen bag that I had kept close to me.
Wang Puyuan's eyes flashed and he said in surprise: "This is not the one in Lin Fang's hand.
Where did you get it?"
I knew it as soon as I heard it.
It seemed that there was more than one key item.
"How do you know it's not this?"
Wang Puyuan muttered: "Hu Bayi, I underestimate you.
Qin Long and Gou Yi are both in your hands."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I quickly recalled this word in my mind.
Lin Fang mentioned that he found the golden dragon of the Qin Dynasty in the undersea tomb, so what is hook wing?
"You still want to show off?"
Wang Puyuan shouted, and he actually tried to grab what I was holding.
"Stop, or I'll open it now."
I tried to pull the linen apart, but Wang Puyuan really didn't step forward, but showed a look of fear.
My bet was right.
Master Yu said that this thing must never be seen in the light.
Wang Puyuan obviously knew this, so he didn't dare to easily come forward to fight with me.
But I have never been able to figure out what this sackcloth headband is and why everyone is trying to snatch it.
He and I were in a stalemate for a long time.
People on both sides didn't know what happened, and no one dared to come forward and ask.
I was full of confusion, but I had to pretend to be confident, even if I showed a slight flaw, he might see through it on the spot.
In the end, Wang Puyuan took the lead to break the silence.
He stepped back and let out a long sigh.
I don't know if it was my imagination, but I always felt that he seemed to have aged more than ten years at that moment.
"It's up to you, I don't have time anymore."
His words came very suddenly, and I didn't know how to continue.
I had no choice but to respond with two ambiguous words: "We don't have much time.
If you can trust me, then let's go together."
Wang Puyuan sighed again and asked: "Where did you find this hook-winged phoenix arm?"
When he saw that I was silent, he reached into his pocket and took out something also wrapped in linen.
"This is the half of the phoenix arm in my hand.
This thing was accidentally acquired by me many years ago, and because of this, various legends about the golden tripod have emerged.
If Lin hadn't moved too fast, the one in the undersea tomb would have That Qin man's golden dragon is also mine.
But I never expected that you could find the last piece of phoenix arm before us, and you will be formidable."
I half-heard and half-guessed.
It seemed that the Wang family had already heard about the King of Qin Tripod.
He helped Lin Fang translate inscriptions and survey maps.
He was actually paving the way for himself.
But he didn't expect that Lin Fang was cautious and had a grudge against him, and finally dragged the rest of us into it.
Wang Puyuan had some scruples, so he came up with such a bad idea of retreating in order to advance.
He sneaked into the tomb in secret, but he never expected that the Japanese would follow him there, and Lin Fang was unwilling to hand over the golden dragon in his hand even to the death.
From this point of view, if you want to find the Golden Cauldron, both Qin Long and Feng Ji are indispensable.
He now thinks that the golden dragon and the other phoenix arm are in my hands, so he is so depressed.
The more I think about it, the more something is wrong.
Who is Wang Puyuan?
According to his usual ruthless style, he should have ordered someone to come up and grab him hard.
Why did he suddenly back down when I said I wanted to open the Phoenix Arm?
I immediately thought of two things.
Possibility: first, this thing is very dangerous and must not be opened easily; second, this thing is extremely fragile, and he is afraid that the treasure will be destroyed.
However, judging from Master Yu’s last words, the first possibility is more likely.
Thinking of this, I finally had a little idea of the information I had in hand, and I simply plucked up the courage to say to Wang Puyuan: "Since everyone understands the importance of this thing, there is nothing much to say.
Please lead the way. " Wang Puyuan put half of the phoenix arm in his arms, and then shouted to everyone: "Everyone pack up, let's go."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously at that moment.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I wiped my forehead unconsciously and found that I was covered in sweat.
I tugged on my collar, secretly glad that I finally made the right bet.
Wang Puyuan has already acquiesced to my identity.
Now as long as we catch Wang Qingzheng before him, the initiative will be completely on our side.
"Boy," Wang Puyuan suddenly called me, staring straight at me and asking, "Why are you looking for Jinding?"
I shook my head and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I have no interest in that thing at all.
I came here as entrusted by my friends, and now I just want to take them away safely."
"Then I would like to advise you to get out as soon as possible to avoid harming yourself and even your friends."
I couldn't tell whether his words were threats or advice.
Anyway, I didn't like the old man at all, so I laughed and thought he farted.
Lin Fang's injury was serious and it was not suitable to move around.
Wang Puyuan specially left two people to take care of her.
I asked him why he didn't let Ah San stay, and he said grimly: "This person has another use."
Wang Qingzheng previously revealed to us that the old man's team was seriously damaged, but now it seems that this is completely untrue.
It’s only been a few months since I last saw this kid.
He’s a good liar.
He actually fooled us this time.
I counted carefully and found that, excluding the two people who stayed behind, there were ten people in our team, including me, Ah San, and Wang Puyuan himself.
Ever since he knew that I held the key to the phoenix arm, Wang Puyuan's entire attitude changed.
Apart from the orders he had to give, he kept a straight face and said nothing during the whole journey, as if the people of the whole country owed him food stamps. .
Xu San is now very kind to me because of the conversation in the isolation room.
He secretly asked me if I was "collaborating with the enemy" and Boss Wang found out.
I hurriedly said that it was nothing, but he was thinking about his grandson.
However, I never told Xu San about Wang Puyuan’s gloomy speech.
This guy is not a bad person, but he is too timid and will easily do bad things if he knows too much.
After leaving the ear chamber, we walked forward along the tomb passage.
Wang Puyuan seemed to be very familiar with this place.
At every fork in the road, he could choose the direction of travel without hesitation.
It seemed that he had already memorized the structural diagram hidden in the undersea tomb.
The only thing I'm worried about at the moment is Shiry Yang's safety.
After half an hour of trekking, we returned to the original main hall.
I wonder in my heart, he clearly said that the road to the main tomb is not here, so why is he going to all the trouble to bring the team back to the starting point?
But looking at Wang Puyuan's confident look, I'm afraid there is something else going on in this hall.
Wang Puyuan's men were well-trained and had already lit up all the wall lamps and chandeliers in the main hall.
The huge underground palace became brightly lit in the blink of an eye, just like thousands of years ago.
"This place is different from the last time I came here."
I don't know if it's because of the fire, but I always feel that this place is wider than before, and something seems to pop up at any time in the empty hall.
"Of course it's different."
Wang Puyuan pointed to the towering stone carving Luan Jia on the main hall and said, "The little devil has already entered."
"What did you say?"
I always thought that the Japanese archaeological team had all been buried in the tomb.
Wang Puyuan's sudden words made me unable to accept it for a while, "Aren't they all dead?"
Wang Puyuan glanced at me sideways: "How much do you know about them and have fought against them, so why would you say they are dead?"
When he asked me this question, I was immediately speechless.
Looking back, whether it was the raid to retake the camp or the exploration of the tomb after going deep underground, I had never had a head-on confrontation with the Japanese archaeological team.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
To this day, I only know that the person in charge of leading the team was a man named Waseda.
"Come up with me."
Wang Puyuan climbed onto the Luanjia, and I fastened my backpack and followed him up with my bare hands.
This stone palace looks simple and unpretentious from a distance, but when you get closer, you realize something is wrong.
"I see the problem."
Wang Puyuan touched the patterns on the stone and said with a smile.
"The carvings are meticulous and the patterns are ingenious.
It is obviously not the architectural style of the Qin Dynasty.
This is a fake added by later generations."
To say that fakes are just equivalent to those of the Qin Dynasty, for modern people like us, they are still rare antique furniture.
"There are too many secrets hidden in this tomb.
If we investigate them one by one, I'm afraid it will take most of my life."
Wang Puyuan ordered his men to knock on the stone and soon found a passage hidden under the steps.
"Didn't I say that the last tomb passage was hidden between those six doors?
What's going on with this now?"
"What you don't know is that the Six Paths of Reincarnation is exquisitely designed, and every time the internal mechanism is activated, it will change.
We were busy dealing with the Japanese and delayed the time to enter the tomb passage.
Now if we want to open the mechanism again," he glanced One glance at the person standing behind us, "There aren't that many people we can take to death."
"When I was investigating Fengji, I accidentally received a miscellaneous book from a storyteller, which talked about the tomb of the Youshui Empress.
The book mentioned that when the new tomb was first laid in the Ming Dynasty, there would be tomb robbers. , but accidentally dug up the Qin tomb.
Unfortunately, there were many traps here, and most of them were killed and injured.
In the end, only one person survived.
They followed and wanted to dig up the tomb, firstly to covet the treasures of the Southern Dynasty, and secondly to vent their anger for their dead brothers.
The tomb robbers who had been spared volunteered to lead the way and deliberately trapped the Qing soldiers in the tomb.
His good deeds moved God, and this trip allowed him to decipher the secret between the six stone doors, and he took the half of the phoenix arm out of the mother's grave
.
"
"It seems that Shiluan was also built by him later."
"After the Qing soldiers entered the tomb, they wreaked havoc.
The secret passage in front of us was dug by them at that time.
In order to atone for his sins, he voluntarily stayed in the tomb afterwards and built this stone to block the entrance to the secret passage."
"You already knew there was such a shortcut, why did you sacrifice others and forcefully open those six doors?"
"No one who broke into the tomb by force came out alive.
Two groups of people died one after another, and the tomb robbers left behind the secret method of opening the six doors.
Can you still tell which one is more important?
If time is not pressed, I don’t want to follow the evil thief and ruin the hard work of my ancestors, so I advise you to step back from the cliff and stop following him.”
I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in the empress's grave, and I was immediately more worried about Shiry Yang and the others.
Seeing that I was determined not to leave, Wang Puyuan said nothing more and led his people straight into the tomb passage.
Xu San deliberately slowed down his pace and walked with me.
He had a medical kit on his body and a night vision lamp on his head.
"Shopkeeper Hu, if we find the main tomb, we can go back.
These people will not kill people like in the movies."
"Dr.
Xu, what kind of movies have you been watching?
It's so easy to kill someone.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The tomb is full of dangers.
It's too late for them to protect themselves, and they have no time to harm you."
"That's good.
I've been worried all the way.
Tell me, will the party and the central government understand me after I go back?
Can they be lenient?"
"It's hard to say.
Anyway, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter at all.
Just find an excuse to get past it."
Xu San showed an expression of admiration, gave me a thumbs up and said: "Shopkeeper Hu is indeed someone who has been here and has rich experience."
This artificially dug temporary tomb passage has not been opened for hundreds of years, and a cool air suddenly shot up from the soles of my feet.
As I walked, I pondered the whole story in my mind.
The first person to grasp the information about Jinding was Wang Puyuan.
Unfortunately, when he found the undersea tomb, Lin Fang had already reached it first.
Afterwards, the Japanese intervened and he apparently withdrew from the operation, but in fact he had already planned to sneak into the empress's grave secretly.
After all calculations, he missed another step.
Unexpectedly, the provincial archaeological team also noticed the remains of the Queen's Tomb.
The existence of the archaeological team fundamentally affected his excavation progress, making it impossible for him to end the operation before Lin Fang and the Japanese appeared.
So, is Lin Fang really just trying to catch spies as she said?
Or maybe the Americans are also eyeing the legendary King of Qin's Cauldron, coveting the art of immortality.
What puzzles me the most is Master Yu.
He has been out of the tomb robbing business for many years, but in the end He committed theft by himself, and ended up losing his security for a whole night.
If it was for money, there was no need to join the archaeological team in the first place.
How did he know about the Jinding?
All kinds of mysteries bother me, making the road ahead look even more hopeless.
Especially after losing the whereabouts of Shiry Yang and Fatty, I became more and more anxious, wondering where they were now and whether they had successfully found the entrance to the tomb.
Not long after walking, the team in front stopped, and the crowd began to make noises.
I pushed aside the few people blocking the way and looked around.
It turned out that there was a huge boulder blocking the road inexplicably on the passage we were traveling.
Wang Puyuan froze in front of the stone, not knowing what he was thinking.
I came up to take a look and found that the stones had been smashed in directly from above the tomb passage.
Many cracks had appeared in the fault rock above our heads, and we didn't know when there would be a danger of collapse.
"They used high explosives when they entered.
I think it's probably because they damaged the earth's veins that the boulders rolled down."
"It's easier for those bastards.
If you do this kind of thing too much, you won't be afraid of retribution."
Wang Puyuan snorted, turned around and shouted, "Don't just stand there, dig."
I said to myself that you have done no less immoral things than those little Japanese people, but now you are talking about others in a sarcastic way.
"Brother, I'm afraid this place is not suitable for groundbreaking."
The person who spoke looked like he was in his early forties and had a plain appearance.
Unlike the others, he had no weapons on him and had a bookish air in his movements.
Wang Puyuan pointed to the cracks on the rock wall and said, "I can see it.
Just do your job well and don't worry about the rest."
"I'm not sure."
The man shook his head.

"The geological conditions here are very special.
Fault rocks are mixed with sand and soil, which can cause landslides if you are not careful."
"Then I have brought you, a geological expert, all the way to make a living, and no one from our Wang family will be left alive."
There was a threat in Wang Puyuan's words, and the unlucky geological expert had no choice but to compromise, "If you have to dig it out, , please give me some time to take measurements, I can only try my best to ensure that, just in case.”
"If anything happens, I'll be responsible."
Wang Puyuan hurriedly entered the main tomb chamber, immediately disregarding everyone's life and death.
Several other people couldn't help but complain when they saw this happening before they had gone far.
I saw them chatting in the corner, so I leaned forward intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to hear what they were talking about.
But these Chinese people all grew up abroad.
They talked for a long time, but I didn’t understand a word.
Wang Puyuan and the engineer studied in front of the boulder for a long time.
I saw that the old man's face was wrong, so I stepped forward to ask about the situation.
"Shopkeeper Hu, you are here at the right time.
Please help me persuade him that this road cannot be dug."
I asked him what was going on, and he pulled me to the cut-off tomb passage and said: "To put it bluntly, it is an illegal construction.
This tomb was originally dug along the river bed.
If the tomb passage is forcibly expanded now, it will 100% cause the load-bearing rock to break. .
If it’s serious, the river water may flow in.
This is no joke.
Please advise Mr.
Wang.”
"Old Wang, this is what's wrong with you.
Experts say it's dangerous, but you still want to continue digging.
Why did you come to him in the first place?"
"Shut up, I don't need you to teach me a lesson."
After saying that, he glanced at the engineer and threatened in a deep voice, "No matter what the danger is, I can't take a step back now.
Get out of the way, if you say one more thing, I will your life."
The engineer was also stubborn and shouted with red eyes: "You will die anyway if you dig in.
It is better for you to kill me now than to bury you with so many people.
You are already crazy."
As soon as he shouted, everyone else immediately turned to look over.
Wang Puyuan looked murderous, and his fingers clenched in his fist.
When I saw something bad, I quickly stood between the two of them.
I stared closely at his fist, wary of the old man's sudden outburst.
The already crowded tomb was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and paid close attention to the development of the situation.
"Qing Zheng left a mark and they have entered the main tomb chamber."
Wang Puyuan sighed, "Your two friends are with him."
His words almost choked me to death.
"When did it happen?
Why didn't you tell me who else besides them was the Japanese?"
I said, Wang Puyuan was so anxious that he was so anxious that he insisted that the Japanese had found the main tomb.
It turned out that the little bastard had left a mark for him.
This old bastard is too calm.
It seems that if the road had not been blocked, he would not have told me about this matter.

"You can imagine their current situation.
This is the only way now.
I have to go."
Wang Puyuan was eager to protect his grandson.
He knew that the other party was powerful, so he tried his best to clear the tomb passage to the main tomb chamber to save people.
I asked the engineer: "How long will it take to pass through the tomb passage without damaging the stone?"
"This is a way.
But I advise you not to have too much hope.
Granite is stronger than you think, and there is not enough space here.
In practice," "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me how long it will take."
At this moment, I fully understood Wang Puyuan's anxious mood, and felt that the engineer in front of me was talking nonsense.
Seeing that we were both anxious, he had no choice but to squat down again to assess.
"With the tools we have at hand, we can penetrate it in about half an hour, but the hole cannot be too big.
As you can see, the geology above our heads is special.
The upper soil and sand structure is too soft, and the rock layer below has cracked.
It all depends on this The big rock is under pressure.
I am now digging through the ground, facing two hard bones, the rock and the foundation.
One thing I must emphasize is that if the rock collapses during the drilling process, no one here will be able to get out alive. " Hearing that there was still a glimmer of hope, Wang Puyuan and I almost said in unison: "Stop talking nonsense and take action."
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Wang Puyuan asked his men to retreat one hundred meters, but I insisted on staying to help.
He was not polite, probably knowing that he alone could not handle the situation in front of him.
It’s not like I didn’t have a tough time when I was an engineer, but at that time we didn’t have so many restrictions.
If we could change the route, we would still change the route.
If it didn’t work, we would use explosives.
It’s not like now, this doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, and we have to face the situation at any time. danger of landslides.
The three of us first divided the bottom of the rock according to the agreed plan.
The excavation project was more difficult than I imagined.
Sand and soil kept leaking down through the gaps above our heads.
After a while, my whole body was covered with soil.
"Boss Wang, the desertification here is worse than expected.
I think we can still..."
Wang Puyuan focused solely on saving people and couldn't listen to other people's advice.
I saw that most of the bottom of the stone had been cleared away, and Wu was unwilling to stop.
"Master, why don't you retreat first."
I glanced at the tomb passage behind me and said to the engineer, "Bring everyone up.
The old man can't control so much now.
If he wants to find someone to settle the score afterwards, I will Come and carry it.”
"When is it your turn to speak?"
Wang Puyuan thrust the shovel into the ground and said angrily, "No one is allowed to leave."
When everyone saw that the old man was angry, they came over from behind tremblingly.
I said: "Stop causing trouble and take the engineer away.
This place will collapse soon.
If you think money is more valuable than life, you can stay with this dead old man and wait to be buried alive."
At this time, above our heads, There was the sound of the rock formations breaking up, and a large amount of sand began to slope downwards along the gaps between the stones.
I hurriedly pushed the engineer out.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the others retreated toward the exit without caring about Wang Puyuan's safety.

I guess the old man is ready to kill me at this time.
Unfortunately, we are now racing against time.
We must cross the barrier in front of us before the rock formation breaks, otherwise we will be greeted by endless darkness.
"Shopkeeper Hu, let me help you."
I looked back and saw that it was Xu San.
He had a white coat on his head and crawled towards us with difficulty.
I said, "Why don't you run away when you have such a good opportunity when you come back?"
He rolled in three steps, shook the sand off his head and said, "I'm not from the same group as them.
Why don't you run?
It's safer to follow you."
Although Xu San, with his round head and big ears, looks quite stupid, he actually has a delicate heart and can calmly analyze the situation in times of crisis.
Wang Puyuan's group of people were originally desperadoes, and they flew away when the disaster came.
Xu San has never interacted with them.
At this moment of life and death, it is even more impossible for them to take Xu San's safety into consideration.
If they rashly follow the large army to evacuate this place, they may be left behind halfway and end up in the ancient tomb.
Instead of losing his life in vain, it is better to take the risk and go with us.
"Dig" I handed the shovel in my hand to Xu San, then stood up and pressed my coat against the gap above my head, intending to delay as much time as possible, reduce the flow of sediment, and create usable space for them.
Because I was so close, I could clearly see the expanding cracks between the rock layers extending to the end of the tomb passage.
At this time, I suddenly felt a cool feeling on my face.
After reaching out and touching it, I discovered that the fallen sand contained moisture.
This is a sign that the river is about to overflow I lowered my head and shouted: "The water is about to pour in, don't stop, keep digging, what matters now is speed."
I heard two loud clicks, and the rock wall not far away finally couldn't resist after a long period of squeezing.
Under the pressure of the outside world, it collapsed suddenly, and a huge gap suddenly appeared in front of us.
At the same time, Wang Puyuan finally dug out a glimmer of hope at the bottom of the "stumbling block".
Xu San shouted to me excitedly: "We've dug it out, let's go quickly."
Xu San cried with joy, holding the medicine box and ducking into the crack.
The rock wall above our heads kept pouring down, and the turbid and powerful river water swept over us in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the tomb passage was about to collapse, I couldn't care less about the small world above my head.
I took back my clothes and without saying a word, I dragged Wang Puyuan and went underground.
The temporary dug passage was full of gravel and gravel, but I didn't dare to stop even a step, pushing the old man desperately to crawl in this narrow cave.
The Youshui roaring behind me was freezing cold, and my lower body was completely immersed in the muddy water.
The surroundings were pitch black and I couldn't even see the road clearly.
It felt like I was buried alive.
"Boss Hu, this way, this way" Xu San's voice kept echoing in front of him.
It seemed that he had successfully climbed out of the cave and reached the tomb passage on the opposite side.
Although Wang Puyuan is very young, his physical fitness is much better than that of Professor Li.
He is agile and moves extremely fast.
There were several times that I almost couldn't keep up with his pace.
The water level in the cave rose rapidly and gradually covered my shoulders.
The resistance of the water and the narrow passage made it extremely difficult to move forward.
I choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and my entire nasal cavity was sore and painful.
Not to mention how uncomfortable it was, I simply held my breath, relaxed my hands and feet, and swam forward.
Fortunately, the distance to the cave was limited.
Following a sudden steep slope, I jumped up and emerged from the water.
Wang Puyuan had been waiting for me on the shore early, wiped his face, and stretched out his hand to pull me up.

My mouth was full of mud and water, and I vomited for a while before I felt a little better.
Wang Puyuan said: "There is no time to rest, so hurry up and leave.
This stone will not hold up for long, and the river will soon surge here."
Xu San panicked: "Then this side will also be flooded, what should we do?"
I asked Wang Puyuan how long it would take to reach the tomb of the main tomb.
He shook his head: "The map recorded in the undersea tomb is only half of it.
It was broken before reaching the main tomb.
I don't know why.
The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.
Anyway, leave here first."
The second half of the tomb passage is still a temporary passage dug by the Qing soldiers.
Although the whole road is rugged, it is better than being trapped underwater just now.
"Let's find a way to dry our clothes first.
There's water dripping all the way and it's inconvenient to move."
After walking for a while, Xu San turned back with a grimace to ask for our opinions.
The three of us glanced at each other.
This drowned rat look was indeed inappropriate.
"This place has no ventilation and no light.
The river water will rush in at any time.
Just bear with it.
At least find a place where you can light a fire."
After I finished speaking, I heard a gurgling sound of boiling water coming from behind me.
Voice.
Wang Puyuan's face changed drastically and he shouted: "I can't stand it any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boulder broke apart, and the rolling Youshui came with huge waves across the sky.
The broken stones violently impacted the surrounding areas. rock wall.
I didn't run a few steps before I was swept into the icy river water.
On the other side, Xu San and Wang Puyuan also felt uncomfortable.
They were covered by huge waves one after another and disappeared from my sight.
I drank a lot of muddy water, and finally raised my head to take a breath.
In an instant, I was knocked back again by the water pressure, and I couldn't control my balance at all.
The most terrifying thing is the gravel hidden in the torrent.
At this speed, if you hit any of it, you will be shattered to pieces.
The river water stirred up with sediment rushed into my mouth and nose from time to time.
I felt that if this continued, I would be strangled to death before I drowned.
The only good thing is that this illegal tomb passage is only about two meters high and is not sealed.
It is more difficult to drown someone.
What you need to watch out for now is unintentional collisions.
Whether it is gravel hidden in the water or a hard and sharp rock wall, a slight carelessness will bring disaster.
I tried to stand up in the water, but as soon as one foot touched the ground, the waves behind me came up and knocked me down again.
I took advantage of the buoyancy in the water, took a breath, and tried my best to hold on to the bump above my head.
The uneven stone wall finally got a chance to breathe.
I lowered my head to look for Wang Puyuan and Xu San, and found that the river had long dispersed the two of them.
Apart from the occasional rolling sand, no one could be found on the turbid water.
I shouted several times but no one answered.

Then another wave came up and I was once again swept into the rushing river.
I struggled like this all the way, constantly wandering between life and death.
My physical strength and will were slowly exhausted, and I wished I would never touch water again in this life.
I don’t know how long I was tossed about, but by the time I reacted, the speed of the water had slowed down significantly.
I hurriedly took the opportunity to reach out and look for something to anchor myself to.
There was water everywhere, and my vision was blurry.
I could only stretch out my arms and dance wildly, hoping to catch something.
I fumbled for a long time and finally grabbed something that felt like a rope.
I gritted my teeth and used that force to pull myself up from the water.
The moment I emerged from the water, my whole body suddenly became extremely relaxed, and I leaned against the wall to catch my breath for a long time.
There were no lights around, and my flashlight had been washed away somewhere.
I felt along the wall for a while.
The wall here was much smoother than before.
The water had just reached the top of my thighs.
The road under my feet was relatively flat.
It seemed that I had been washed out of the tomb passage by the river and arrived at a new place.
I turned around and shouted a few times, but there were echoes one after another, which showed that this place was not small.
I picked up my water-soaked backpack and found a candle and a lighter in the dark.
With the mentality of giving it a try, I polished the lighter and lit the candle.
The candle first smoked for a while, and then a huge flame burst out with a "boom".
I leaned so close that my eyebrows were almost burned off.
Thanks to Master Yu, this candle is not only windproof, but also waterproof.
When it gets wet, it actually burns more intensely than before.
It seems that we need to do a good study of what materials he used when we get back.
I held up the candle and looked around, and I was shocked
