The second old Taoist said to Zhang Juwa: "My old brother is right.
If you want to eat our bowl of rice, you have to be careful."
Zhang Juwa said: "That's okay, brother, Taoist Priest, I will listen to you two."
Sonnier was also curious and asked me: "What do you think is painted under the ditch?"
I said: "Maybe it's a snake or dragon pattern, maybe it's a fossil.
It's too old to be seen clearly."
Totem worship such as dragon and snake is not uncommon in Inner Mongolia.
Where there are grasslands, wolves are worshiped, where there are forests, bears are worshiped, and where there are caves, snakes are worshiped.
However, these traces in Laogou are natural and may not be man-made.
These rock paintings are much older than the ancient tomb where the Khitan female body is buried.
Back then, gold seekers were in danger in Laogou.
It was rumored that there were cannibal murals here.
This should refer to the rock paintings in the ditch and has nothing to do with the Khitan ancient tomb we are looking for. , carefully walked out of a section of the ditch.
There were no traces of people or animals.
The bottom of the ditch was damp and cold, exuding a fishy and rotten stench.
The old man took out his compass to find the direction and led the way in the ditch from east to west.
Kang Yanshan is a dustpan-shaped depression on the south side.
It is low in the middle, upturned at both ends, and the northern end is higher than the southern end.
The location of the ancient tomb chamber is below the depression, and the entrance to the tomb passage is in the old ditch of Kangyan Mountain.
The rocks at the bottom of the ditch collapsed, and even if we could see where the tomb passage was, just a few of us couldn't dig it out.
Although Er Lao Tao's trick of deceiving gods and ghosts didn't work, Kan Yu's ability to identify acupoints was real.
Seeing that the rock formations in the old ditch were too thick to be shaken, he climbed out of the ditch and came to Kangyan Mountain.
Holding a compass in his hand, he looked to his left Looking to the right, the east is more than the west.
Step by step, he measured to the bottom of the hillside.
Pointing to a rock crevice covered with mud and weeds outside the ditch, he said, "Look, dig down here to find the tomb passage."
Zhang Juwa listened to the instructions, took out a short shovel and pick from his backpack, and gave them to Sonnier and me.
Under the guidance of Er Tao, we dug out the mud and grass in the rock crevices.
Although the accumulated mud was easy to dig, the cracks in the rock It was so narrow that I couldn’t move my hands and feet, and I had to dig out waterproof ditches until night.
Halfway deeper, the mud hole finally reached the bottom.
Further down, there were layers of large strip bricks smeared with red plaster.
We used red clay to smooth the grooves.
The three of us dug out a few heavy strip bricks and were already gasping from exhaustion.
Huchi was wearing rough clothes, and he saw a hole that was easy to drill under the mud hole.
I saw that Erlaodao avoided the tomb door in the ditch and dug directly from the top of the tomb passage.
Due to years of erosion by mud and water, the outer wall of the tomb passage made of strip bricks had long been loose.
I couldn't help but admire his thief's astonishingly accurate vision.
The old Taoist resisted his greed.
He said that the tomb passage had been closed for too long, and the atmosphere inside was so heavy that he would not be able to go down for a while.
Besides, it was getting late, and everyone was very tired.
They had to rest for a night before starting anything.
There were still things in the tomb passage.
There is an inner door, so I will be busy tomorrow.
It was a stormy night, and Zhang Juwa said to us: "Believe it or not, it was stormy and rainy during the tomb robbery, and it was the dead ghosts in the ancient tomb who were crying."
Suoni is not timid, but she truly believes in these superstitious claims.
Her face turned pale when Zhang Juwa said this.

I said to Saunier: "That's not the case at all.
The dead ghost is buried in the ancient tomb with the smoke and decaying grass.
It has been deserted and lonely for so many years.
Finally, someone comes to see it.
It's too late to be happy.
How can it be possible to cry?
" The second old Taoist said: "My old brother is still brave and does not believe in evil.
Old Taoist, I have seen that you are not an ordinary person.
You are much more promising than a useless apprentice like me.
In my opinion, no matter how scary the lonely ghost is, it is not as scary as the poor god.
Old man, I'm afraid of poverty.
When we finish this job, we will be able to be popular and drink spicy food for the rest of our lives.
If you think about it like this, you will have no courage. " We drank cold water and ate dry food.
We couldn't even open our eyes after listening to what the old Taoist said.
We were really tired this day.
The four of us took turns guarding the mud hole leading to the tomb passage to prevent water from pouring in and enduring the pain.
Hungry and cold until dawn.
In the morning, the old Taoist lit up a windproof and waterproof lantern.
He asked Zhang Juwa and I to go in first to explore the way.
The old Taoist said: "Brother, you have to remember, if the lamp goes out, the people will go out
