Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 236 Entering the Tomb Through the Great Hole
"Uncle Ming, come and eat!"

Just then, Wu Xie came over and called Hu Ming.

In the camp, everyone sat around the fire, eating roughly prepared dry rations.

"After eating, take a short rest to recharge before heading back to work in the fields."

"Yes, I have found the location of the tomb entrance. Now it's up to you, Panzi."

"Having followed Third Master for so long, you must have learned the art of digging tunnels quite well, right?"

During the meal, Hu Mingfeng spoke casually.

"What? We only spent ten minutes preparing a quick lunch, and you've already found the tomb entrance, Ming?"

Upon hearing this, Panzi was completely dumbfounded.

Is it really that fast?
"It's not just the tomb raiders; finding auspicious sites and determining the location of auspicious locations are also the things that tomb raiders excel at."

"Hu Ming should be one of the best among the tomb raiders throughout history. It is only natural that he could do this in ten minutes."

The young man glanced at the shocked group and said calmly.

It's not just about the knowledge he carries with him about Hu Ming.

Over the past twenty years, the young man had also used his connections in Beijing to investigate some information about Hu Ming.

In other words, at this moment, besides Hu Bayi and his group, Xiao Ge is the one who understands Hu Ming the most.

"Are you sure? Judging from the contents of the silk scroll, the feng shui here is strange and very deceptive."

"Generally speaking, the methods of determining the location of gold are easily deceived."

After a moment's hesitation, Wu Sansheng still asked with some unease.

"Nine times out of ten, when I'm looking at the wind and water, and using the compass to determine the direction, I've already eliminated those interfering factors."

"Of course, if the feng shui here is not just a nested two-layer structure, then I might have miscalculated."

Hu Ming shrugged, unconcerned about Wu Sansheng's distrust.

After all, this was their first collaboration, and no matter how famous they were, they were still just famous.

Before witnessing the actual demonstration, a seasoned veteran like Wu Sansheng would naturally have some doubts.

"Okay! Let's get to work right after we finish eating!"

After a moment's thought, Wu Sansheng nodded in affirmation.

After finishing their meal and resting briefly, the group followed Hu Ming and headed towards the three o'clock direction.

After walking about 100 meters, we arrived at an open space.

Hu Ming quickly calculated in his mind, arrived at a certain location, lightly stomped his foot, and said, "This is it!"

"Yes, judging from the map deciphered from the silk scroll, the area below should be the site of the sacrificial altar."

"The sacrificial offerings were placed directly below, which means there should indeed be a tomb entrance down there!"

"The Celestial Official who discovers tombs truly lives up to his reputation!"

Wu Sansheng took out the silk scroll and examined it carefully. After a long while, he nodded in admiration!
The tomb raiding methods of the Nine Southern Gates are different from those of the Four Northern Tombs.

Most of their methods are the result of countless real-world battles, and each family has some unique and special techniques.

However, it must be admitted that in the search for large tombs, the Heavenly Official and the Tomb Raiders are ultimately superior.

Wu Sansheng was self-aware; if it weren't for the information contained in this scroll, even if he were standing here, he probably wouldn't have been able to discern anything.

"But just in case, we should dig a few shovelfuls and check... Panzi!"

Wu Sansheng squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, smelled it, shook his head, took a few more steps, and grabbed another handful. "Alright!"

"Master Ming, just you wait and see! We've witnessed the methods of you excavator officials, now it's your turn to see ours!"

Panzi responded with a grin.

He took out a bunch of threaded steel pipes and a shovel from his bag.

After the assembly was completed, Wu Xie helped to secure the shovel head, and Pan Zi began to hammer it down with a short-handled hammer.

Wu Sansheng placed one hand on the steel pipe, sensing the situation below.

After all thirteen steel pipes were knocked off, Wu Sansheng suddenly opened his eyes, a look of surprise and delight on his face.

"Yes!"

Right now, pull the shovel out section by section.

The last handful brought out a cup of grave soil.

However, upon seeing this cup of soil, everyone's expressions immediately changed, becoming somewhat unpleasant.

Even the young man's indifferent eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

Hu Ming watched this scene in silence. The soil in the cup looked as if it had been soaked in blood, and there were even drops of blood-like liquid still dripping from it.

Especially Wu Sansheng and Wu Xie, both of them had read Dog Fifth Master's notebook. Wu Sansheng had been wandering outside for many years, so they vaguely knew something.

"In short, no matter what, there's no reason to turn back now that we've come this far. Let's dig and see what happens!"

After thinking for a moment, Wu Sansheng lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice.

Hu Ming naturally wouldn't refute this.

He knew that inside the tomb, at the altar, there was indeed a blood corpse being suppressed.

Digging tunnels is a fundamental skill for tomb raiders.

With everyone working together, they soon dug a vertical tunnel seven or eight meters deep.

The tunnel below was quite large. By this time, Panzi had cleared the surrounding area, and what lay before everyone was a stone wall.

By this time, it was getting late.

Pan Zizheng held a searchlight in one hand and a shovel in the other, seemingly pondering where to start smashing.

"Don't touch anything," the young man said in a deep voice, grabbing Panzi's arm at that moment.

"You're coming?"

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the young man looked at Hu Ming.

"Me? Can't you do it yourself? Why go through all this trouble?"

Hu Ming was taken aback and asked in confusion.

"Your two fingers are strange, completely different from what I know..."

The young man looked at Hu Ming's hands, which were as fair and slender as those of an ordinary person, even more so than those of a normal person, and said indifferently.

"Fine……"

Hu Ming nodded; he understood what the young man meant.

It's just that probing acupoints with two fingers is a skill that the Heavenly Official of the Tomb Raiders uses to make a living, but Hu Ming's fingers are just like a normal person's, without the slightest abnormality.

Close your eyes, place two fingers on the stone wall, and your earlobes tremble slightly.

Before taking action, Hu Ming carefully examined the situation inside the wall.
