Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!

Chapter 80 Tomb Robbery in Progress 5

The two men searched very carefully this time, but still couldn't find a way out. When they returned to the stone gate for the third time, Gao Hu became discouraged.

"Damn it, let's stop looking... We can't find it no matter what, are we going to be trapped here to death?"

"Ah? Ouch! I don't want to die here! I haven't married yet... How about we turn back and see if there is a way out along the way we came."

Li Xiuyuan also wanted to turn back, but what if there was no way out there? The tunnel was more than ten meters high, and there was no one to rescue them from above, so they couldn't climb up at all.

The tunnel was not a complete slope, but went down vertically. If it were Li Xiuyuan alone, he could still give it a try. After all, there were shovels and ropes, as well as food and daily necessities in the space. But he would not expose the space unless it was absolutely necessary.

The two of them rested for a while, and Li Xiuyuan asked Gao Hu: "I want to look for it again, do you want to come? Or you can sit here and rest for a while, I will go alone..."

"go!"

Gao Hu stood up, brushed the dirt off his butt, and walked to the right.

This time, Li Xiuyuan changed his method. He used his mental power. He didn't use it just now because he didn't want to see what he shouldn't see. After all, this was a place where the dead were buried.

He used his mental power to probe every one meter.

As a result, he really saw uncomfortable scenes, including the scene behind the stone gate. He saw a person with a twisted body, a purple face, and black blood flowing from the mouth. It was obvious that he died of poisoning. The death was miserable. After seeing it, Li Xiuyuan felt creepy and cold all over.

After taking a tour, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but admire the superb craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty craftsmen and the exquisite craftsmanship and creativity of the designer of this tomb.

After walking around, Li Xiuyuan saw that there were passages and houses inside, about eight rooms in total. There were no coffins inside, but instead, there were exquisite funerary objects, mostly pottery, porcelain, bronze, iron, etc., and some gold and silver.

The most beautiful of them are tri-color pottery figurines, animal figurines and tri-color utensils.

Those burial pottery figurines and pottery horses filled every room, it was a dazzling array of beauty. Some of the pottery figurines... were riding horses, some were drawing bows and arrows, they were arranged in rows and teams, neatly arranged, their voices and appearances were lifelike.

Finally, Li Xiuyuan stood in front of a wall. Behind the wall was a corridor. The wall was about 40 centimeters thick and wide enough. If one did not use mental power to check, one would not be able to find any difference between this wall and other walls.

"Gao Hu, take out the iron pick, and let's take turns digging here and see if we can dig a path out."

Gao Hu shone a flashlight around, shook his head and said, "Can it work? This wall is made of blue bricks and rammed earth, it's very solid. Besides, who knows what's behind this wall? What if there's something bad, a hidden weapon, a trap or something, wouldn't our lives be lost here?"

"Then give me the pickaxe and I'll dig. You stand back."

Gao Hu thought about it, then gave the iron bar to Li Xiuyuan and stood aside and watched.

Li Xiuyuan picked up an iron chisel and started to chisel the wall. He followed the traces left by the craftsmen and began to chisel the wall.

This must be the exit left by the craftsmen, perhaps to facilitate their entry and exit, or perhaps for joint burial.

After a few strokes, a hole was chiseled out in the wall. Gao Hu was very surprised when he saw it, so the two of them took turns chiseling.

In a short while, the two men had chiseled a hole through the wall.

The two were afraid that there might be hidden weapons, so after waiting for a while and not noticing anything unusual, they continued to chisel.

Soon, the two of them had dug a big hole in the wall, just big enough for one person to pass through.

The two came in and saw that the murals inside had also changed. The murals inside were no longer as solemn and majestic as those outside, but had a stronger breath of life.

Most of the figures depicted here are women, as well as men dressed as eunuchs. From this, we can be sure that the tomb owner must be a member of the royal family, because only the royal family could have eunuchs and palace maids serving them.

Among the women depicted in the painting, the one in the front has nothing in her hands and should be the host. The women behind her are holding square boxes, wine glasses, whisks, ruyi, round fans, candles, etc. in their hands. They have different postures, some whispering, some looking back, and some concentrating. Their expressions are portrayed in great detail and vividly.

The female image in the painting is plump, giving people a sense of gentle and charming rhythm visually, which is in line with the style characteristics of the Tang Dynasty that fat is beautiful.

The women's clothing in the painting is painted with colors such as azurite and malachite, with bright red as the main color, and the color contrast is very sharp.

From their clothes, jewelry, and hairstyle, it can be seen that they have different identities.

There are also women dressed as men on the murals. They wear Hu clothing but women's shoes on their feet, and their looks are even more beautiful.

Li Xiuyuan stood there looking at the exquisite murals on the wall, while Gao Hu was eyeing the burial jewelry and utensils.

"Maodan, come here quickly!"

Li Xiuyuan heard Gao Hu's shout and thought something had happened, so he walked over. He saw Gao Hu staring at the burial objects with green eyes, and he knew what Gao Hu meant.

"Gao Hu, let's go find your brother and the others first, otherwise the two of us will be trapped to death in this tomb."

Gao Hu waved his hand nonchalantly, "My brother and his friends went to the tomb just for these. I'll take them away first, so they don't have to come back to get them."

Li Xiuyuan knew that he couldn't persuade Gao Hu, as there were many cases of people being tempted by money. If Li Xiuyuan didn't have the space, he would also want to exchange a few items for money.

"Then you take it. I'll go find your brother and the others."

"no!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at Gao Hu, his expression suddenly became serious...

Gao Hu's originally kind face disappeared, replaced by a slightly ferocious face. His eyes no longer had the previous hypocrisy, but revealed a cruel and resolute look.

"You come in with me. There's no rush to find my brother."

Li Xiuyuan immediately understood what Gao Hu meant, and his face darkened.

"Gao Hu, what do you mean? We are together."

"Yes, that's why we have to go in together and make a fortune together."

"Then what if I don't go in?"
