fall short

I stood on the ridge and looked at the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers. I took a note of the possible location of the ancient tomb and marked the distance and direction. Then I turned around to look at the fat man and the big gold tooth on the other side.

The two of them were looking for a hole in the fish bone temple. I put my finger in my mouth and whistled loudly at the fat man and the big gold tooth.

When the two fat men heard the sound, they raised their heads and shrugged at me, indicating that they had not found the entrance to the Thief's Cave. Then they lowered their heads and continued searching, looking inside and out of the Fish Bone Temple over and over again.

It is easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down. I looked at the place where I climbed up. It was too steep and it was difficult to go down the same way. I looked around and saw that on the hillside not far to my left, the soil had been eroded by wind and rain.

Big block, it will be easier to get down from there.

So I walked along the ridge to the left for a while, stepping on the collapsed soil lumps and slowly descending. It was still difficult to stand on this slope, and it would slip when I stepped on it. I saw a slightly flat place nearby where I could stay, so I jumped.

past.

Unexpectedly, after I stood still, I had just taken two steps when my feet suddenly sank and my lower body fell instantly. I secretly thought something was wrong, it was because I had stepped on a crust of earth.

I heard from people in nearby villages that this snake slope is full of sinkholes. I thought that this edge area was relatively safe, but I didn't expect to be careless. At this time, my waist had already sunk into the cave. I knew in my heart,

You must not struggle at this time. The geological structure here is similar to the quicksand in the desert. The only difference is that there is less sand and more fine soil. The harder you struggle to climb out, the faster you will fall. In this case,

You can only wait for rescue. If you are alone, you will have to wait for death.

After I sunk a lot into the earth, I tried my best to keep my body from moving, not even breathing out my breath. I was afraid that if I made the slightest movement, I would sink in again. If it went past my chest, I would be in big trouble.

.

I gently held it with both hands to keep the force on my body even. After waiting for more than ten seconds, when I saw that it would no longer fall down, I took off the whistle from my neck with one hand and put it to my mouth to blow the whistle to greet others.

The fat man came to help.

However, blowing the whistle requires exerting force on the chest and abdomen. I am now in a delicate balance of power. I dare not move my body a little, otherwise the slope may collapse at any time and bury me alive. Of course, it will not necessarily collapse.

They will definitely be buried alive, and there may be a large cave underneath. What's even worse is that they will fall halfway in, unable to see the sky above or the ground below, and they will be suffocated to death. It's a really uncomfortable feeling.

This idea came to my mind, and I decided to blow the whistle, otherwise when Fatty and the others think of me, their cucumber dishes will be cold. I hope they will come to help quickly after hearing this, otherwise I, Lao Hu, will really come back this time.

Now that I'm here, I've experienced strong winds and waves, and I really don't want to die on this hillside like this.

I blew the whistle, my chest and abdomen moved a little, my body huffed, and it sank in again, just squeezing my chest. Breathing became more and more difficult. If you bury a person alive, you usually don’t need to bury it to the top of your head. If the soil reaches the chest, you will suffocate to death.

.

I am in this situation now. I have my hands stretched out. It is obviously uncomfortable to hold it in, but I don’t feel any struggle. This moment is a time to test a person’s endurance. I try to keep myself calm. I must not let my chest feel so tight that it almost kills me.

When he was suffocated, he tried to use his arms to support himself and crawl out, which would make him die faster.

For my current situation, one second is longer than a year. Damn it, why didn't the damn fat guy come over? If they didn't hear the whistle, then I would have finished it.

Just as I was holding back my breath and thinking wildly, I saw Fatty and Da Jinya slowly walking up from below, talking and laughing.

When they saw my appearance, they were all shocked. They threw away their legs and ran over. The fat man untied the rope lock he was carrying while running. He was also carrying a bamboo basket. The two big white geese inside were frightened by the sudden increase of the fat man.

Have to shout loudly.

Fatty and Big Jinya were afraid that there were still earth shells nearby, so they didn't dare to get too close. They stopped a dozen steps away and threw the rope over. I finally grabbed the life-saving straw and held the rope twice in my hand.

buckle.

Both parties used force to pull me out of the earth shell. When I came up, my legs completely crushed the entire earth shell, revealing a large hole on the hillside, and broken soil continued to fall in.

Panting heavily, I unscrewed the kettle, drank a few mouthfuls, poured all the remaining water on my head, wiped it on my face with my hands, looked back at the sunken earth hole behind me, and I

I can't tell you how many times this is the first time I've come back from hell. I'm really scared and don't dare to think too much.

The fat man lit a cigarette for me to calm down my shock. I was so frightened that I took two puffs of the cigarette and choked myself until I coughed. This experience was different from the past. In the past, life and death happened in an instant and there was no time to be afraid. This time, death was slowly approaching step by step.

, there is nothing in the world that can torture people's nerves more than this.

Of my three souls and seven souls, probably two and six souls had already flown away. It took a full twenty minutes for my two souls and six souls to slowly come back.

Big Jinya and Fatty saw that my face turned pale and they didn't dare to speak. After a while, they saw that my eyes were no longer straight, so they asked me how I was doing.

I nodded, asked the fat man to bring the white wine, and took a few sips of wine before I fully recovered.

The three of us went to see the dirt hole I had just stepped on. Big Jinya asked: Could this be a robbery hole?

I said: No, the edge of the Robbery Cave is not so scattered. This is the result of the erosion of the cave inside the mountain. There is only an empty shell left outside the mountain. Some places are thin and some are thick. It seems that the scale of the cave under Longling is

It's really not small.

I told them what I had just seen on the ridge. There must be a large tomb in the mountain over there. The straight-line distance from the Fish Bone Temple is about one kilometer.

If there is a robbery hole in the Fish Bone Temple that leads to the ancient tomb, the distance and direction are completely reasonable. It is not difficult for an expert to dig a one-kilometer robbery hole, but it will just take a little more time.

The fat man asked: This man is so full that he can see the exact location of the ancient tomb. Why did he go all the way to dig a hole?

I said to the fat man: The senior who built the Fish Bone Temple is far better than you. He certainly has his reasons. I speculate that it is because he wants to enter the underground palace from below.

Da Jinya said: "Is it possible to go in from below because the surroundings of this tomb are too strong and strong, so I can't do anything, so I have to go up from the bottom. I heard that this method is called the top palace."

I said: It should be like this. In the Tang Dynasty, mausoleums were built in the mountains. In the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, the country was strong and unrivaled in the world. The mausoleums must have been built extremely solidly. The underground palaces were built with large stones and reinforced with long cast iron strips, making it difficult to break into the tombs.

However, no matter how well built the ancient tomb is, it is not a seamless egg. There is a void in any tomb. From the perspective of Feng Shui, this is to hide the wind and gather energy. If there is no such void in the tomb,

, no matter how good the feng shui is, it is of no use at all.

The fat man asked: Just leave a back door

I said: No, the shape stops the Qi and accumulates it. In order to maintain the shape and momentum of the Feng Shui position and make the Feng Shui treasure land fixed, the layout of the mausoleum cannot be kept secret. It needs Qi to gather and be integrated. Generally, the figurine passage or the back hall of the mausoleum

It is the place where Qi melts. That kind of place cannot be sealed too tightly, otherwise it will be detrimental to the Lord.

There is also a saying that large mausoleums are similar to palaces. When they were finally sealed, in order to keep the secrets of the underground palace, the last group of craftsmen left behind were suffocated inside. Those experienced craftsmen were in progress during the project.

In the process, they would leave a way out for themselves and secretly build a secret passage. Such secret passages are often found under the underground palace.

However, this kind of secret escape route secretly built by craftsmen for themselves has no basis in Feng Shui. It can be built as concealed as possible. It will have a great impact on the layout of the mausoleum, but it cannot be banned.

Therefore, when encountering such a large tomb with unusually strong walls, after the captains of Touching Gold discussed the situation, they would choose to attack from below.

The three of us discussed it for a while and decided that it was worth the effort to walk into Longling Tomb, because the location of this tomb is very special, and the mountainous terrain is no longer what it used to be. If we can find a tomb here,

He must be a master among the gold-touching captains. He will definitely adhere to the rules and not take away two things. For such a big tomb, let alone one or two treasures, even if he took away a hundred or so, we can touch the rest at will.

The above two are also very rewarding.

I decided to start with the robbery cave of the Fish Bone Temple. It is easier to do so. First of all, the robbery cave of the Fish Bone Temple is only a few decades ago and there will not be much change. Even if there is a collapse in the middle, we will dig a short path.

Just go around it. Secondly, there are traps on Longling. Walking in the ridge is dangerous. I just encountered it once and almost suffocated to death inside. We should try to avoid dangers.

Now that the plan has been decided, we head back to the Fish Bone Temple. Fatty and Da Jinya have been searching for half a day, but they haven't found any robber holes. This temple is built without relying on mountains or water, and there is no pattern. From the appearance

It is extremely difficult to determine the location of the robbery cave. This robbery cave is too important to us. The premise of all the inferences I make is that the Fish Bone Temple was built by the captain Mo Jin.

I suddenly had an idea and called to Fatty and Da Jinya: Let's take a look at the altar where the statue of Dragon King used to be. If there is a robber hole, it is most likely hidden under the altar. Book Alliance
