While digging, the fat man asked me why I was wasting my time digging holes.
There was a ready-made robbery hole in front of me, so I could just climb down and be done with it.
I analyzed: "It should be for safety reasons to expand the hole to make it easier for everyone to enter and exit.
The life and death of the two who went in first are unknown.
It has been more than forty-eight hours since they disappeared.
Even if they are really alive, I am afraid they are already in a state of collapse.
Now The purpose of opening the cave entrance is to not waste the opportunity for later rescue. " We were divided into two teams and took turns digging.
Because we were all skilled workers and had a ready-made hole as a foundation, the hole quickly expanded to more than double its original size.
While we were changing hands, Master Yu pulled me aside, unscrewed the miner's hat on his head, and gestured on the dirt with a shovel: "The team has made plans for the underground palace before.
The base area of the tomb chamber is surprisingly large, which is in line with the rumors.
Ming in the middle The specifications of the tomb do not match.
Based on my personal experience, it should be the size of the front hall and the back chamber.
It doesn’t look like a woman’s tomb.
The person who dug the hole is an expert, and the position of the hole is absolutely perpendicular to the coffin. ” The layout of "front hall and back bedroom" is the traditional Qin Dynasty standard.
Only the owner of the tomb must be at least a prince-level figure to be able to set up an underground court after his death.
Naturally, the things buried in the court are "office items" related to the owner of the tomb during his lifetime. , such as the approved briefs, the spies recording the meritorious service, and even the treasure horses and ministers who were buried.
In the information provided by Lin Fang, the description of the Empress's Tomb has never departed from the hypothesis of the Second Tomb.
Master Yu has deduced that there is a Qin Tomb underground just based on the plan of the underground palace.
People really have to admire his skill. experience.
I didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned the structure of the underground palace to me.
He didn’t say much and waited patiently for his next words.
At this time, Shiry Yang waved the flashlight in his hand and motioned for me to come over.
I walked forward quickly and found several other people whispering around the burglar's cave.
I immediately felt something was wrong.
Shiry Yang raised his flashlight, pointed at the hole and said, "There's something stuck down there, and the shovel can't get in."
I pushed aside the crowd and found that Captain Jiang had already led the troops down the hole.
He was squatting in the dirt.
It took him a long time to raise his head and say, "Something's wrong.
Where did the sealing stone come from?"
I was shocked when I heard that the sealing stone is usually placed at the entrance of the tomb.
We are now directly above the tomb.
How could we dig out a sealing stone?
Not to mention that this hole was dug from the inside out.
Yes, if there really was a sealing stone, how did the tomb robbers do it?
We used the reins to pull Captain Jiang out of the cave.
He was covered in mud and kept spitting: "What a ghost, the bottom is sealed tightly.
I see Those two boys probably escaped and couldn't possibly be in the tomb."
I was afraid that he might be dazzled by the mistake, so I decided to go down and find out for myself.
Shiry Yang fastened the rope for me, and then slowly lowered me down together with the fat man.
There was insufficient light underground, and the range that the miner's lamp could illuminate was limited.
When I got down to about seven or eight meters, I could clearly feel something under my feet.
I held the rope with one hand and knocked down the shovel with the other to test.
The sound of "bang" and "bang" came immediately.
It seemed that as Captain Jiang said, we had encountered a hard guy.
I let go of my right hand holding the rope and landed directly on the sealing stone blocking the road.

After landing, I spread my arms to roughly measure the space under the ground, and then squatted down to study the door-sealing stone that suddenly appeared.
This boulder is 90 degrees perpendicular to the Thief's Cave.
The soil around the stone has long since become as hard as iron due to long-term accumulation.
It is impossible to start, let alone find a gap to find another way.
I knocked on the sealing stone with my knuckles, and only a faint dull sound came from it.
I knew in my heart that this was not a good sign.
The thicker the stone layer, the smaller the echo.
This almost inaudible sound is enough to show how terrible the thickness of this sealing stone is.
I just want to dig through it with a few shovels.
I don’t know.
We have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
At this time, the rope around my waist suddenly tightened.
This was the code we had agreed upon to ensure each other's safety.
I pulled it twice symbolically to indicate that I was fine, and then continued to explore this smooth, hard piece.
The sealing stone, hoping to find some clues.
I still can't figure out how the tomb robbers dug through this huge stone to the surface, let alone how the two members of the archaeological team penetrated the huge stone and disappeared into the tomb chamber.
Could it be that, as Captain Jiang said, they did not enter the tomb but slipped down the mountain?
Just when I was anxious, the light above my head dimmed suddenly.
When I looked carefully, I saw another figure slowly descending down the robbery hole.
I turned to the side, and the man hunched over and landed quietly next to me.
I took a closer look and saw that it was Shiry Yang.
"Why did you come down here?"
Although the Thief's Cave has undergone secondary development, it is only spacious enough for two people to pass sideways.
Shiry Yang pressed the sealing stone on the sole of his foot and said: "Fat Man and Master Yu went to check another robbery cave.
I came to take a look at the situation here.
The surface of the rock is so smooth.
It has obviously been polished manually.
You have checked the surrounding area."
There is no agency” I shook my head and said, "It's just a big place like this.
You can touch it all with your hands.
Look at the dirt around it.
Where can you hide the traps?"
Shiry Yang didn't believe it, so she half-knelt on the sealing stone and groped along the seams between the stone and the soil bit by bit.
I had no choice but to follow her instructions and check again from the other side.
"Lao Hu, look here!"
Shiry Yang pulled my arm fiercely.
I turned my head, and a dazzling light spot shone on the burnt black soil.
A green object was exposed in the center of the aperture.
If I didn't look up, I wouldn't be able to see it.
Not noticed.
I reached out and pinched the thing and pulled it out hard.
I looked at it under the flashlight and found that it was actually a rubber-soled liberation shoe.
The two of us looked at each other in confusion.
Shiry Yang was the first to react: "Could it be the archaeological team member who came down before?"
I said: "It's broken.

The shoes are pressed into the soil.
That person is probably in danger."
Shiry Yang unscrewed the spiral shovel, took out a part that could be swung flexibly in the hole, and struggled towards the place where the Jiefang shoes were dug out just now.
After digging in, I saw that the hole that was only half a foot wide quickly collapsed.
I stepped forward and opened the hole in the wall, and found that the soil here was a single burnt black color, which was different from the layers of sedimentary soil accumulated in the previous robbery hole. .
Shiry Yang also soon discovered the flaw.
She said excitedly: "The entrance to this cave was blocked by someone later.
The robbery hole we found was not straight up and down.
The tomb robbers dug it deliberately to avoid the sealing stone.
A zigzag.
When we were expanding the cave, we dug all the way down based on our past experience and missed the zigzag intersection that was deliberately hidden, so we encountered the sealing stone that we shouldn't have encountered. " "Go up first and see what others find."
After unlocking the secret of the door-sealing stone, both of us couldn't help but let out a long breath.
After returning to the ground, Captain Jiang and Master Yu identified the Jiefang shoes we dug out.
Captain Jiang said with certainty: "These are the shoes of our team.
Look at the numbers on the heels.
They all start with 0101.
But shoes of size 48 are rare, and the two lost bastards are There is no such thing.”
Master Yu glanced at the Jiefang Shoes and said in confusion: "Who else among them could not be embarrassed if they didn't roll their names during the meeting at night?"
"I can't control that much anymore."
The fat man slapped his Jiefang shoes on the ground, "Someone deliberately blocked the entrance of the cave.
This is to embezzle national property.
Don't stop any of you.
Today, I, Wang Kaixuan, will do justice for heaven. , destroy those daring lawbreakers under the hammer of socialism.”
I asked the fat man what they found in the other two robber caves.
He sighed and said, "It's a shame.
You said how big the door sealing stone must be.
There is no gap at all."
Master Yu said: "That's right.
From this point of view, what we excavated is not a sealing stone at all.
It should be a partition laid on the upper level of the tomb, wrapping the entire tomb in it for protection, just like an eggshell. " "The entire tomb is covered."
Lin Fang's eyes widened.
"There was no such advanced cutting technology in ancient times.
It was impossible to cut off a perfect spherical body based on the original stone in that era."
I agree with Master Yu's inference.
It is precisely because the plates cannot be perfectly integrated and there are certain gaps between the plates, without forming a complete isolation layer, that gives opportunities for future generations of tomb robbers.
This also explains why the thief hole in the empress's tomb has a zigzag shape.
"Then what are you waiting for?
Go down and dig."
The fat man picked up the engineer's shovel, tied the cable around his waist, turned up the miner's lamp above his head and said, "You guys stole the limelight just now.
This time I will take the lead.
Let's fight for an early victory."
Win the fruits of victory for the country.”
I thought to myself that this guy must be so anxious because he was afraid that someone else would get there first and empty out the funerary objects in the tomb, so I comforted him and said, "The filling on the wall is soft and sparse and can be easily dug out.
There is no need to be so serious."
"The fat man couldn't hear it, and he entered the cave in the blink of an eye.

The space in the thief's cave is not big, and the fat man's back can only support two people.
We can only choose the thinnest Lin Fang to go down and attack him.
On the one hand, we must clean up the excavated soil in time to avoid burying ourselves alive. ; On the one hand, in order to prevent emergencies, arrange a cover for him.
Soon the fat man cleared the blocked tomb passage.
We numbered each group according to the order of action in groups of three, and then climbed into the underground passage that led to an unknown direction one by one.
Since Fatty and Lin Fang had already climbed in first, the people behind us consciously distanced ourselves in groups of two, which not only made it easier to take care of each other, but also ensured that we could move forward and retreat freely at critical moments without squeezing into a group.
Wang Qingzheng followed me all the way and was surprisingly quiet.
He neither challenged anyone nor acted without permission, which I was not used to.
I asked him why he was so weak, and he said with some embarrassment: "It's the first time I entered the tomb seriously, so I was a little panicked."
I said, "This is not your style, Mr.
Wang.
Are you afraid of the dark?
He said "poof" and then asked me why I let the fat man hit his head.
"From a strategic point of view, we have to let him go ahead," I explained as I climbed.
Young Master Wang still didn't understand and asked why.
I had no choice but to lower my voice and continue to explain: "Kuan, understand Kuan."
He was silent for a while, then suddenly realized: "Aren't you just afraid that he will be too fat and get stuck in the middle of the road?
Why are you speaking so obscurely?"
I hurriedly turned my head and gave him a kick: "Keep your voice down, believe it or not, I'll turn around and sit you to death."
"I fucked Hu Bayi, I heard it from the front, so you can go ahead and slander your fat grandpa, then turn around and sit on your ass to death."
The fat man's angry voice came out from the depths of the dark corridor, making him I wanted to slap that little bastard behind me.
"Be serious," Master Yu's voice came from behind, "There are no force pillars in the cave.
If it collapses, no one can escape."
We crawled in the narrow, dark corridor for about ten minutes.
The road ahead slowly became wider, and there were constant sounds of "click-click-click".
The fat man shouted to us: "I saw the tomb passage.
There is a brick road ahead.
Don't move around.
I'll go down and take a look first."
This is undoubtedly exciting news, and at least it proves that we have entered the interior of the tomb.
Lin Fang followed the fat man and disappeared in front of the corridor, and my vision suddenly became clear.
About twenty meters away from us, there was a more conspicuous set of ladder-shaped fortifications extending into the depths of the tomb.
Fatty and the others walked down this ladder.
I observed the environment around the stone staircase, and there were unfilled pits and gullies everywhere.
Shiry Yang squeezed up from behind Young Master Wang.
She unscrewed a flash bomb and threw it down the stone steps.
In an instant, the world under our feet became extremely clear.
"It's broken.
There are rows of burial pits down there."
Captain Jiang threw himself to the edge of the steps and leaned out with most of his body.
"Look at how dense and narrow the pits are at the bottom, and how neatly they are arranged.
The ancients classified the levels of burial pits.
With persistence that we can't understand, the presence of so many pits per unit area is enough to prove that this is not the main tomb."
He said so excitedly, but I couldn't see why he was anxious, and he didn't know that he meant "it was broken."
"What does it mean specifically.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I followed the direction of his finger and looked underground, and couldn't help but be shocked by the sight in front of me.
Although I have never heard of any burial pits, I can clearly see the bones that are exposed outside the pits and have not been completely buried.
The large number and neat arrangement were all beyond my expectation.
It was like an army composed of dead people.
The first flash bomb went out quickly.
Shiry Yang asked me why I didn't see Fatty.
Then I remembered that Fatty and Lin Fang had already beaten us to the burial pit.
Master Yu pushed us aside, took out a small brown glass bottle from his pocket and said, "Put it all on and rub it under your nose."
I opened the bottle cap and brought it to my face to smell it, and was immediately hit by a spicy smell.
The smell made me choke to tears: "Ahem, cough, cough, what the hell, it smells so bad."
Captain Jiang took the glass bottle from my hand, frowned, poured out the liquid from the bottle, and quickly wiped it on the human center. 9 While sneezing, he explained: "Master Yu's unique recipe.
Just think of it as a neutralizing agent.”
Mr.
Wang covered his nose and pushed the bottle aside.
He said dissatisfiedly: "Zhonghe is a piece of shit.
People are almost being smoked to death.
Where is the bottle cap?
It smells really disgusting."
"Corpse poison."
Master Yu made a fierce face, held down Young Master Wang, and applied the neutralizing agent on his face, and then said to the few of us: "I am most afraid of taking you half-boiled poison in my life.
How many hardships have you endured under the ground?
Each one of you saw the benefits and ran faster than a rabbit.
Take that little fat guy for example.
He has no discipline at all and deserves to be stuck in the back."
I hurriedly said: "The fat man has a thick skin, and it will be good for him to have some hardships.
Master Yu, you are disgusting and kind-hearted, and we all see it.
Don't be angry.
Let's go down and find someone."
Just as we were applying the medicine, Captain Jiang had already run down the stone stairs silently.
He waved his flashlight and shouted at us: "Master, come and see if there is something wrong with these corpses":
