Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Li and the others all looked at Jiang Nanle.

Jiang Nanle stood not far away with his hands behind his back.

There was ignorance and confusion in her clear big eyes, as if she didn't understand what I meant.

Ershuan said dissatisfiedly, "What are you thinking of asking a girl to pry open the door bricks?"

It has to be said that women are often given preferential treatment.

Especially when there are more men than women.

Men's inherent desire to protect will be aroused, and they will want to protect women more to demonstrate their masculine charm.

This is what Ershuan did.

Old Li moved his lips.

He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Being experienced in the martial world, he sensed something was wrong.

His eyes shifted between me and Jiang Nanle.

As if he had thought of something, he bumped Ershuan with his shoulder.

He said coldly, "Shuan'er, don't interfere in other people's affairs."

"Master..."

Ershuan wanted to argue, but was glared at by Lao Li.

So he closed his mouth unwillingly.

Cui Hao didn't say a word from beginning to end. Instead, he stared at Jiang Nanle with a vigilant look.

Even his hand had already grasped the handle of the knife.

The knife is the one obtained from Guard Jiang’s tomb.

I thought the knife was very sharp and might be useful in case of danger, so I asked Cui Hao to bring it over.

"elder brother."

Cui Hao said in a voice that only I could hear, "Is this girl possessed again?"

I nodded slightly.

A strong sense of unease made me feel uneasy.

I feel that with the mountain ghost's ability, he can handle it even if he encounters danger.

That's why I wanted her to go down and open the tomb door.

But I didn't expect her to pretend to be ignorant.

Why does she pretend?

"Hurry down and open the tomb door." I said sternly with a straight face.

Jiang Nan rolled his eyes, walked over to me and whispered, "Do you really think I'm a little girl?"

"Or am I too easy to talk to..."

My right hand hung at my waist, holding the sachet containing the Buddha's relics.

Her eyes followed my movements.

When he saw the sachet, his expression changed instantly.

"Go and go."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a loud noise coming from the tunnel.

boom!

It sounded like a brick wall collapsing.

Lao Li and Ershuan, who were standing by the tunnel, immediately leaned over to look down.

"Encyclopedia!"

"What are you doing? Making such a big noise!"

I also looked inside the tunnel.

Dust rose up in the cave, and only Daquan's figure could be seen vaguely.

Daquan covered his mouth with his hands to block the dust.

He shouted in a muffled voice, "It's nothing! I was accidentally prying the bricks and collapsed the wall!"

The door-sealing bricks are built outside the tomb door, mainly to prevent theft.

Some large tombs have multiple layers of bricks to seal the doors.

Even huge stone slabs are placed outside the door bricks to seal it.

There is no stone slab outside Yu Zhenren's tomb, only a layer of brick wall.

Unexpectedly, the quality of this door brick seemed to be poor and was actually collapsed by Daquan.

The collapse of the door bricks may actually be an anti-theft measure.

The tomb of Li Maozhen, wife of the Prince of Qin in the late Tang Dynasty, used bricks with mechanical sealing mechanisms.

There is no horizontal beam above the bricks sealing the door. If the bricks are pried out from the bottom, the entire Duanmen Gate will collapse, crushing the tomb robbers to death.

Later, when I recalled the incident of Daquan collapsing the door bricks, I speculated that there must be a similar mechanism installed on the door bricks.

It’s just that Daquan didn’t check carefully before prying it open.

So when one brick was pried out, the entire door brick collapsed.

Fortunately, the hole was small and only some of the door bricks were exposed, so not many bricks and stones collapsed.

"Eh~!"

"Oh my goodness! This is the first time I've seen someone who can break down a door brick. You're truly talented!"

Old Li made a few sarcastic remarks.

He pulled the rope and said, "You come up first to rest, and someone else will go down to replace you."

"Cough cough!"

Daquan seemed to have inhaled dust and coughed violently twice.

Then he stiffened his neck and shouted, "No need to replace it. The bricks sealing the door have fallen in just right. It saves us from prying the bricks out one by one."

"Let me take a look at the tomb door first!"

Daquan simply refused to go up.

I just want to be the first to enter the tomb to find the treasure.

Lao Li looked at me helplessly: "The child has grown up and is no longer under the control of others. This bastard doesn't even listen to me."

"Look, he won't come up."

"How about someone else go down and open the tomb door? Forget about it. Once Daquan opens the tomb door, we can all go down."

I didn't care about what Lao Li said at all.

Instead, he stared at the complete collection in the tunnel.

The dust settled and Daquan shone the flashlight towards the tomb door.

The blood-red tomb door came into view, and he almost threw away the flashlight.

Pfft!

Daquan was so scared that he fell to the ground, shaking all over as if he was sieving chaff.

"Oh my God!"

"Tomb, tomb door... pull me up, pull me up!"

"Master, pull me up quickly!"

Daquan screamed in horror and grabbed the rope tightly with both hands and pulled it.

Because he was too strong, Old Li, who was pulling the rope, was pulled forward and almost fell into the tunnel.

Old Li was frightened and angrily blew his beard and glared and started cursing.

"You bastard!"

"What on earth are you going to do?!"

"You just refused to come up, and now you're crying and shouting for it!"

"What's going on with the tomb door?"

"Don't come up until you explain clearly!"

Daquan climbed up the edge of the tomb with both hands, crying out in a sobbing voice: "Tomb door, there is blood..."

"No, that's not right!"

"It's the blood-red tomb door that's bleeding!"

"The tomb door is bleeding!!"

Daquan shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice breaking.

Lao Li and Ershuan's faces changed drastically.

He quickly pulled the rope hard.

Cui Hao and I also helped to pull, and Daquan climbed up hard, so we pulled him up quickly.

After coming out of the tunnel, Daquan didn't even bother to untie the rope and ran about ten meters before stopping.

Old Li frowned and looked at the complete collection, then lowered his head to look at the stolen hole.

Finally his eyes fell on me.

He asked cautiously, "Are the Nine Dragon Formation and the Iron Chain Hanging Coffin you mentioned before real?"

Daquan's terrified and helpless expression finally made Lao Li believe what I said before.

I was holding the rope and tying it around Jiang Nanle's waist.

He nodded and said, "There's no benefit in lying to you."

"There might be greater danger in the tomb, so I let Jiang Nanle go down first."

Ershuan supported the trembling Daquan and walked over.

Old Li turned his attention to his apprentice: "Daquan, what did you see? Why is there blood coming out of the tomb door?"

"I saw the blood-red tomb door, with drops of blood flowing down the door!"

"I, I don't know why the tomb door is bleeding, but it is bleeding!"

Old Li frowned and said, "Is it so weird?"

"Are you sure you're not seeing things?"

Daquan raised three fingers and swore to the sky, "I must be seeing things!"

"The door is bleeding!"

"This tomb is weird, Master, let's run!"

Old Li sucked his teeth and looked at me, as if he wanted to ask for my opinion.

But I don't have time to waste with him.

After tying up Jiang Nanle with a rope, he sent her down the tunnel.

"Go down to the tomb. I'll follow you. Don't play tricks."
