Chapter 6 Chapter Five Guishan Han Tomb

The fourth uncle was very surprised. He never thought that Chen Daohe would also go to the tomb.Chen Daohe seemed to see through his fourth uncle's mind. He said to his fourth uncle: "You want to ask me why I entered this ancient tomb, right? Actually, I am not looking for money. I want to find the five ancient tombs in this ancient tomb. Jade. This piece of ancient jade was left over from the craftsmen of the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period when they made Heshibi. Although these pieces of jade were small and scattered, five pieces were preserved intact. I checked ancient books, and Chu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty After the king got these five pieces of ancient jade, he ordered the craftsmen to carve the remaining ancient jade into patterns and draw five patterns, and when King Xiang of Chu died, he buried the five pieces of broken jade in his tomb."

The fourth uncle asked strangely: "Then what do you want those five pieces of jade for?" Chen Daohe took a deep breath and said: "Jade is spiritual, it can absorb human blood. There are two kinds of jade, one is good jade, and the other is bad jade. Bad jade can absorb human blood. Good jade can save lives. I have a senior brother named Xiao Shengyun. He has a good understanding and talent, and he can quickly learn what the master teaches. But he has a problem, that is, he likes tomb robbers. He robs tombs for no other reason. It’s only for money. But in a Han tomb, the brother was poisoned by the poison planted in the tomb. After he came out of the ancient tomb, his forehead was black and his face was bloodless. Fortunately, the master left a piece of jade to ward off evil spirits. , to save his life. But the master's jade is not good enough, it can only alleviate his condition, but not cure him. Only the broken jade of He's Bi can save him. I searched all the ancient books and found out It is learned that all these fragments of jade were buried in the tomb of King Chu Xiang of the Han Dynasty."

Only then did the fourth uncle understand that everything Chen Daohe did was to save the senior brother who was cursed in the tomb.However, the fourth uncle was not a benevolent person, and he didn't even care about Xiao Shengyun's life or death. What he cared about was whether there was a lot of gold and silver in it, and whether it could be stolen.More importantly, he can still be with Chen Xiaodie all the time.Thinking of this, Fourth Uncle looked up at Chen Xiaodie, only to realize that Chen Xiaodie had been looking at him the whole time.The fourth uncle was overjoyed and quickly agreed to Chen Daohe.

Because Xiaoguishan's tomb is different from other tombs, it is located at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by many residents, so it is not suitable to dig holes, so Chen Daohe asked Fourth Uncle to prepare some explosives.The fourth uncle told Chen Daohe that he had two brothers who were very strong and righteous, so could they be called together?Chen Daohe thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. The fourth uncle, who had been busy all day, remembered that he hadn't washed his face yet. How could he face his favorite Chen Xiaodie?Unexpectedly, when Chen Daohe saw that piece of jade, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Why do you have this piece of jade?"

The fourth uncle said: "My mother gave it to me. Why, do you know this piece of jade?" Chen Daohe flickered his eyes and said, "No, it just looks good." The fourth uncle knew that Chen Daohe intended to conceal it, but he couldn't ask questions, so he stopped talking. After the fourth uncle washed his face, Chen Daohe told the fourth uncle to come to the fourth uncle in a week and ask the fourth uncle to prepare the gunpowder.The fourth uncle glanced at Chen Xiaodie and wanted to say something, but he looked at Chen Daohe and took it back.Chen Daohe seemed to understand, and said to his fourth uncle: "I'll go to the bathroom first, and you take care of Xiaodie."

The fourth uncle was overjoyed and quickly told Chen Daohe the location of the toilet. After Chen Daohe left, Chen Xiaodie sat at the table by herself and didn't speak.At this moment, there were only two people left in the room, and the fourth uncle felt embarrassed. He rubbed his hands shyly, and said very honestly: "Well, Comrade Xiaodie, are you married?" Chen Xiaodie looked at the foolish look of her fourth uncle, and finally couldn't help laughing, she said: "Not yet, but it will be soon." The fourth uncle was taken aback and said, "So you have a fiancé." After speaking, the expression of the fourth uncle's whole person changed, and his breath suddenly lifted, and he no longer looked shy.While pacing, he said, "Oh, I have a partner, I have a partner."

Chen Xiaodie looked at Fourth Uncle, continued to smile and said, "This time you go to Guishan Han Tomb, be careful, don't force yourself, it's very dangerous inside." The fourth uncle didn't expect that she would still care about him, so he said awkwardly: "Yes, yes." Back home, fourth uncle immediately found Dahei and Shaozi.After the three got together, they ate and drank wildly. At night, the fourth uncle revealed the purpose of finding two people.The fourth uncle originally thought that these two people might hesitate, but who knew that these two people had been regretting that they hadn't stolen any treasure from the tomb since the incident on the mountain, so they agreed without hesitation.

The three hit it off immediately, and in order to celebrate this historic event, they drank for several days in a row, and they didn't fry the gunpowder until the day before Chen Dao and the two came.Before leaving, the fourth uncle did not tell his grandparents about his plan to rob the tomb. Instead, Dahei told his wife about his plan to get rich.But the fourth uncle knew that Dahei's wife was talkative, so he specifically told her not to tell the story. When the fourth uncle and the others arrived in Xuzhou, they found that Chen Daohe and Chen Xiaodie were already waiting at their wholesale department.Chen Daohe said: "This time we have a lot of people, and we come here in turn when we are working. Don't be all tired, and you can't all be idle. After entering, take what you can, but don't take too much." , Dahei and Shaoxiao laughed, as if they were about to get rich.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the five of them set off.The fourth uncle carried a bag of prepared gunpowder, Dahei carried Chen Daohe's package, and the spoon carried Chen Xiaodie's small bag. They took turns carrying it for an hour. At eleven o'clock, they arrived at Xiaogui. Mountain.At that time, there was no one in Guishan, even the founder of the mountain had left, and only an old man was left on duty there.But the old man went to bed very early, so their actions would not be discovered. When he reached the foot of the mountain, Chen Daohe opened his big package.Taking advantage of the moonlight, everyone saw peach wood swords, glutinous rice, candles, flashlights, batteries and other things in the big bag. The most surprising thing was that there was a foldable shovel.When Dahei saw this folding shovel, he couldn't put it down, and wished he could take it home to grow cabbage.

Seeing the big shovel, the spoon said in surprise: "Wow, what a delicate Luoyang shovel!" But Chen Xiaodie despised Shao Zi's self-righteous knowledge, Chen Xiaodie said: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, that's not a Luoyang shovel, that's a military engineering shovel." Fortunately, the moonlight didn't shine directly on it. On the face of the spoon, otherwise the skin of the spoon can be as crystal clear as the braised pork in the pot. Dahei said carelessly: "Why do you need so many things in the tomb? I think the flashlight is useful, and you can see it when you take the treasure."

Chen Daohe smiled, noncommittal. The fourth uncle said: "Why don't you bring a Luoyang shovel, sir?" Chen Daohe said: "I have tested the soil quality here with a Luoyang shovel before, and there is no need to use a Luoyang shovel this time." Only then did the fourth uncle know that Chen Daohe had been paying attention to this mausoleum for a long time.Chen Daohe said that he has observed this mountain more than once. This mountain is an independent hill, looking northwest like a thousand-year-old tortoise with its head in the north and tail in the south. At this time, Chen Xiaodie opened the slender package she brought, and the three of them looked down, and found that there were many hollow iron rods inside. Each of these hollow iron rods was 80 centimeters long, of varying thickness, with screws on both ends. mouth.Through screw holes, these steel pipes can be connected into a 6-meter-long iron rod.Only then did the three understand why Chen Daohe brought so many things, it turned out to be of great use. At the same time, Chen Daohe found the location of the Shengmen on the back of the turtle according to the Yin-Yang gossip, and then made a mark on the Shengmen.Then, Chen Daohe asked the fourth uncle to stand at the 80-meter position straight behind the Shengmen, and then asked the fourth uncle to make a mark there.After all the preparations were done, Chen Daohe asked the fourth uncle to drill holes in the marked positions. Drilling eyes is what my fourth uncle is best at.He has studied gunpowder for a long time, and can blast a big hole without making a sound.However, the place where the fourth uncle was standing had no stones, and it was all crop land, so it was easy to drill holes.Dahei first took the iron rod and punched the first eye obliquely downward.There is a requirement for this hole, it cannot go down vertically, but must go down at a 45-degree oblique angle. Seeing that the hole was finished, the fourth uncle planted the gunpowder.After he lit the fire, everyone hid in the distance, and after the sound of "boom", everyone returned to the entrance of the cave.The first blasting blasted to a depth of about five meters. Everyone cheered and praised the blasting skills of the fourth uncle.Speaking of fourth uncle's blasting technology, it's really top-notch.No loose soil was blown out of the holes he had blown up, and the hole was created by squeezing the surrounding soil space, so it was very difficult. Because the tomb was buried deep, the fourth uncle blew it up twice before reaching the underground tomb passage.However, the final soil layer was dug out with a sapper shovel, not by blasting.Chen Daohe said that there may be quicksand at the top of the tomb passage in the Han Dynasty. If there is quicksand below, the tomb passage will be blocked, and the operation will fall short. Chen Daohe was in charge of digging out the soil, Dahei and the fourth uncle were in charge of transporting the soil, scattering the soil with spoons, and Chen Xiaodie watched the wind.To the surprise of the fourth uncle, Chen Daohe was very good at digging soil.He dug the soil very quickly, and he could shovel a lot of soil with each shovel. The holes he shoveled were neatly cut, smooth and smooth, just like the ones he had blasted.After half an hour, Chen Daohe finally dug to the bottom of the hole. He cleaned out the fine soil under the hole, and everyone found that there was a huge rammed earth brick under the hole. The fourth uncle knocked on the rammed earth brick, and it turned out to be very strong. The fourth uncle thought, don't say that there is no quicksand, even if there is quicksand, I'm afraid I can't blow it up.When the fourth uncle was worried about how to break the rammed earth bricks, Chen Daohe took out several bottles of white vinegar from his bag, opened the white vinegar, and poured it on the rammed earth bricks.The rammed earth bricks seemed to be very absorbent, and the vinegar soaked through quickly.Chen Daohe used vinegar to draw a circle with a diameter of one meter on the clay bricks, and the more vinegar he poured, the more he poured.Then he took out a five-inch long dagger from his body, and began to dig the soil where the vinegar had been poured.Surprisingly, the adobe bricks that were as hard as rocks turned out to be as soft as mud. Seeing this, the fourth uncle and the three were very happy, their faces were all beaming with joy, thinking that this time they could make a profit.However, the fourth uncle, who had experienced the incident of encountering a female ghost in Liangshankou, did not dare to be blindly optimistic. He was afraid that he would encounter this thing again.But what the fourth uncle didn't understand was that Chen Daohe was so well prepared, why did he have to come by himself? After Chen Daohe dug the soft soil, he began to pour vinegar again, and then continued digging.But the earthen bricks were very thick, and seeing that the vinegar was almost used up, the rammed earth bricks were still not fully dug.Dahei looked at several empty bottles, and sighed to Chen Daohe: "I said, since you know you need to use vinegar, why don't you buy more? You see, this is not enough." Chen Daohe didn't speak, but Chen Xiaodie glared at Dahei, and said: "You guys came so late in the day, Dad and I prepared so many things, we couldn't carry them, but you three big men came to point out point." Dahei was at a loss for words for a moment, and dared not speak any more.On the other hand, fourth uncle thought that Chen Xiaodie was going to get married, and he was always upset.Since meeting Chen Xiaodie, the fourth uncle has never been to the market for a blind date. What he looks forward to most is to see Chen Xiaodie again one day and express his admiration and miss. Suddenly, there was a "boom" in front of them. Hearing this sound, everyone was taken aback, followed Chen Daohe and said "go quickly", and everyone immediately changed from the back team to the front team and rushed out. Going out was smooth, and the air was much fresher when we got outside.Everyone didn't know what was wrong, so they asked Chen Daohe.Chen Daohe said: "The top cover of the tomb passage was opened, and the loud noise just now was the sound made by the top cover falling." Dahei asked why he came out, and Chen Daohe said: "The ancient tomb has been sealed for many years. It's hard to say whether it can breathe or not. I'm afraid there will be poisonous gas. I forgot to tell you just now. I didn't remember until the top cover fell off, so I asked everyone to come out." Run outside." Everyone suddenly realized, Dahei said: "I thought there was a ghost!" Shaozi and Fourth Uncle were also frightened. Although it took several hours of hard work, the tomb had already been opened. Seeing the victory in sight, everyone was very excited, so they didn't feel tired.After resting for half an hour, several people went in again.When they arrived at the rammed earth, everyone discovered that the rammed earth bricks of this tomb passage were half a meter thick, no wonder it was so difficult to open. At this time, Chen Daohe threw a candle into the tomb passage, the candle flickered for a while, but did not go out.Chen Daohe said: "The candles are not extinguished, which means there is enough oxygen. Xiaodie, put away the steel pipe, we can go down." Although they can go down, there is still a problem, that is who will go down first.Everyone knows that it is dangerous to go down first, and the one standing at the back is the safest.Fourth Uncle wanted to show his face in front of Chen Xiaodie, but just as he was about to move forward, Chen Xiaodie stepped on him.The fourth uncle knew that Chen Xiaodie wanted to keep him from going forward, so he didn't show up. However, there are still people who would like fourth uncle not to be the first bird.Seeing that everyone was unwilling to go, Dahei volunteered to jump out. He said, "I'll go down first. If you encounter treasure, don't snatch it from me, haha!" Seeing that Dahei was about to go down, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.Dahei walked to the entrance of the cave, put his hands on the ground, and put his body under the hole. With a bang, Dahei jumped down the hole.After the big black jumped off, the smoke and dust billowed, and no one could be seen at all. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what was going on next.The fourth uncle called Dahei, but there was no response from below, and everyone began to panic.Suddenly, everyone heard a few sneezes from below, and a string in their hearts finally relaxed, and Dahei's scolding came from below: "Where is there so much dust, it made me sneeze so much." The fourth uncle scolded: "Why didn't you speak for a long time, kid?" Da Hei said: "I want to sneeze, I'm brewing." Seeing that nothing was wrong below, everyone jumped down one after another.Chen Daohe was second, Shaozi was third, Chen Xiaodie was fourth, and Fourth Uncle was in the rear.This time the fourth uncle intends to be with Chen Xiaodie, one is to hope that Chen Xiaodie will have a good impression of him, and the other is to protect her safety. After going down, the fourth uncle took Chen Xiaodie's bag, the spoon took Chen Daohe's bag, and several of them took turns carrying bags.But what fourth uncle didn't understand was why Chen Xiaodie still carried these hollow steel pipes, it was a heavy burden to carry.Thinking that he was still in the stage of flattering Chen Xiaodie, Fourth Uncle didn't ask any more questions. This tomb passage runs from southeast to northwest. Fourth Uncle and the others are located in the middle of the tomb passage, and the end of the tomb passage can be seen through the light of the flashlight.The tomb passage is less than one meter wide and less than two meters high. The air in the tomb passage is relatively humid. The walls of the tomb passage are off-white and dark in tone, making it look gloomy.The three fourth uncles who entered the tomb for the first time were very nervous and looked around from time to time. The fourth uncle heard from the old people that there are many strange things in the cemetery, and there are even more strange things in the ancient tomb.If you don't encounter strange things when you enter the ancient tomb, it's strange.Everyone took every step very carefully, for fear of something unusual, even Dahei, who was usually carefree, didn't dare to speak.It is said that there are generally no traps in the tomb passage, and the tomb passage is just for show, but Chen Daohe is still very careful.He took out a steel pipe from his fourth uncle's bag, and threw it towards the far tomb passage.The sound of the steel pipe falling to the ground was very crisp, echoing in the tomb passage with the lingering sound.Seeing that everything was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that they could go inside with confidence. At least for now, everything seemed to be going well. But after all, this road is too long. After walking for a long time, everyone gathered together unknowingly, as if they felt a sense of security in their hearts.Suddenly, the person walking in front stopped.Seeing that the situation was not right, everyone also stopped.The fourth uncle saw that the person in the front was Shao Shao. Under his feet, a brick had collapsed three inches, and Shao Shao's feet were afraid to move. No one knew what this meant. Everyone looked at Chen Daohe, waiting for him to make up his mind. Obviously, Chen Daohe had become their core.Chen Daohe also seemed to see everyone's panic. He told everyone to stay still, and retreated to lie on their stomachs in the middle of the tomb passage 30 meters away.Following Chen Daohe, he let the spoon lie on his stomach, and after everyone was lying down, the spoon lifted his feet gently. Shaozi was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, so he had to do as Chen Daohe said.Sure enough, when the spoon lifted its foot, there was a rumbling sound in the tomb, and then there were endless swishing sounds.Spoon didn't dare to raise his head. After about five minutes, he felt that things were all over his body. When he stood up, he saw that it was all arrows.Fortunately, all these arrows fell on the spoon and did not hit him. The spoon walked through the gate of hell, and the whole forehead was covered with sweat.Everyone was also frightened, and they all said that everyone's life was saved by Chen Daohe.Chen Daohe picked up the steel pipe used for testing just now, and put it back into the bag.Only then did the fourth uncle understand that the steel pipe was used to test whether there was a mechanism. Speaking of which, the cultural level of people at that time was not high, and the methods of doing things could only use the most primitive and stupid methods, but the most stupid may be the best.At that time, what everyone thought was that everyone walked in the middle, and whoever stepped on it, everyone would get down together.Due to the relatively high position of the arrow crossbow, the strength of the arrow is relatively strong, and the arrow feathers will fall automatically after hitting the other side of the tomb passage.At this time, if the person does not stand up, he will not be injured. This method is indeed very good, allowing a group of people to walk to the end of the tomb passage safely.At the end of the tomb passage is a big iron gate. Although the iron gate has a history of more than 2,000 years, there is no rust on it, and it looks like new.The strange thing is that there is no iron ring, no handle to open the door, and no lock on the iron door, which looks like the current rolling shutter door.There are thirty-six large copper nails on the door, divided into four rows, nine in each row, neatly arranged. The most important problem right now is how to open this big iron door. It is so tall and majestic that it cannot be opened by manpower, but if explosives are used, the tomb may collapse and kill himself.However, when the underground palace is closed in each tomb, it relies on boulders or organs. Since there is a tomb passage here, it is very likely that there will be organs.However, traps and hidden weapons are equally likely to exist. Entering an ancient tomb means that you must face hidden weapons. Generally, large-scale tombs must have anti-theft hidden weapon traps.The ancients paid more attention to craftsmanship and technology, especially things like hidden weapons and secret rooms.These industries have gradually produced many schools, which are self-contained and have unique styles.After thousands of years, it is not easy to decipher these organs in a short time, especially for a farmer like Fourth Uncle who intends to go on blind dates at the street every day, it is even more difficult. Fourth Uncle and the others searched the wall for a long time, hoping to find the key to start the mechanism, but they failed to find it for a long time.On the contrary, Dahei was very creative. He kicked the iron gate and said, "This gate is so strong. I'll bring it home tomorrow and install it on my door. It's very impressive." The fourth uncle said: "Style is style, but I don't know how you open the door and how to close it." Dahei thought about it, and stopped talking.Suddenly, the spoon on the side yelled loudly, and everyone followed the prestige, and saw a man dressed in an ancient costume, like an ancient prince, standing on the wall and looking at them.This is a portrait. The prince in the painting bows to the crowd, as if welcoming guests from afar.But why didn't I see this portrait when I came in just now? Could it be that the light was too dark and I didn't see it for a while. All the people looked at this portrait intently. This portrait was neither painted nor carved, but rather natural.The portrait is a little fuzzy, with a feeling of floating in the clouds, which makes people feel that they are in a place where people should not be.Look at the smile in the portrait again, the smile is kind and the face is kind, making people feel that the person in the painting is very gentle. Dahei took a look at everyone and said, "If the spoon hadn't found this thing, I don't know how I died. You said, this thing will come down, don't you grab it from me, I will definitely kill him." Everyone was surprised. Looking at Dahei intently, he thought, this kid is always in a daze. At this time, Chen Xiaodie pulled fourth uncle aside and said, "Is this person married?" "Children can make soy sauce." "What? Then how come you can't even get a wife? It's really useless." "I've been thinking about you, haven't I?" Fourth Uncle said. Fourth Uncle and Chen Xiaodie kept talking in low voices, but when Fourth Uncle said the last sentence, the entire tomb fell silent.The fourth uncle found that the situation was not good, as if everyone had heard this sentence. Dahei was the first to react. He laughed loudly and said, "Yeah, fourth child, so you like Xiaodie! Miss Xiaodie, I'll expose him. He definitely doesn't only think about you. Two years ago, he still liked Xiaodie. Take me on a blind date. When we got to the door of someone's house, we asked if the girl was there, guess what they said?" "How to say?" "The girl is not at home, she took the child back to her mother's house." After speaking, everyone in the tomb laughed, only the fourth uncle's face turned red.
