Xu Yue always thought that finding gold was like what was shown on TV. First, find the location of the tomb, and then dig a hole to get in.
There must be some supernatural events in the middle. When taking out the collection in the coffin, the owner of the tomb will directly "come to life" and have a fierce battle with the gold-touching captains.
Finally, the gold captains took out some black donkey hooves, glutinous rice, amulets and other things to defeat the owner of the tomb, and then with difficulty they took out a rare treasure.
If things don't go well, after leaving the tomb, some captains who touch gold will be poisoned or cursed, and their souls will die in the west soon.
"What are you thinking about?"
Dad's voice suddenly sounded, waking up Xu Yue who was stuck in the plot of a TV series about finding money.
"Bring the pickaxe." Xu Da from the front shouted again.
Only then did Xu Yue realize that at some point, they had reached a narrow cave.
The strange thing is that the road in this cave is actually paved with bluestone slabs, and there are heavy human traces.
Xu Yue suppressed her curiosity, passed over Zhao Jian who was walking in the middle, took out the pickaxe from the research room, and handed it to her father.
As I got closer, I saw that there was a wet stone wall in front of my father.
Xu Da took the pickaxe and glanced at Zhao Jian, an outsider. However, he did not want to miss the opportunity to teach his daughter and grandchildren. He tapped the stone wall with the pickaxe and said:
"This kind of large tomb is used to bury princes or nobles. Mortals cannot build such a tomb for themselves. There must be a passage for the living people to exit."
"In the underworld, the west is noble and the east is humble. The tomb is in the west. The craftsmen who built the tomb can only retreat through the east corridor..."
As he spoke, Xu Da inserted a pickaxe into the stone wall. He heard a rumble of vibrations, and Xu Yue and Zhao Jian felt their feet shaking violently at the same time.
Zhao Jian swallowed hard. If Xu Yue and Xu Da's family hadn't been standing there in front of him, he would have turned around and run away.
Previously, he was still confused as to what the father and daughter were doing in the cave with their two little children at night.
Now I understand it.
The emotional father and daughter are here to rob the tomb!
Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning if you touch something that kills someone?
He had heard that in order to prevent their tombs from being stolen, the ancients not only set up agencies all over the place, but also put a curse on them. Anyone who dared to enter the tombs and steal them would die without a burial place!
Xu Da seemed to know what he was thinking, so he turned around to comfort his daughter and said, "Don't panic, this institution is in disrepair and is of no use at all."
Then he said: "In this life, people will not take it with them in life or death. Since the owner of the tomb left these extraneous things, he must be waiting for a destined person."
Xu Yue: Why does it sound like I’m talking nonsense?
But philosophically speaking, it is indeed the case.
Everyone is dead, so what's the use of guarding a pile of treasures? It's a pure waste of resources!
As he spoke, the vibrations disappeared, but the stone wall remained unchanged.
Xu Darao exclaimed with interest, then waved his hand to signal Xu Yue and others to step back.
When the person stepped back, a piece of talisman appeared on his fingertips. He pressed it against the stone wall, and saw a flash of green light. With a "boom", the entire stone wall fell off, revealing a single-sided stone door with a nine-headed phoenix.
exposed.
Xu Yue was excited for a moment and then fell into confusion, "How to open this door? If you break in by force, will it trigger any mechanism?"
Xu Da waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it.
Okay, let her just watch.
Shimen seems to have some skills, but in the face of absolute strength, they are all vain.
The nine-headed phoenix on the door knew it could be moved at a glance. Xu Yue thought of those thrilling scenes in the movie where the gold-touching man opens the door, and silently put the two little nephews behind him to avoid accidents.
However, in Xu Da's eyes, these small formations, which are not even elementary, are like the graffiti of a primary school student. I don't know how he did it, but he started tinkering with the nine phoenix heads, and the stone door opened.
A dark corridor appeared, running horizontally to the left and right. The position where Xu Yue and others stood was exactly in the middle, forming a T-shape.
"This should be the main tomb passage. If we enter directly from the mountain wall through the back door, we can save a lot of trouble." Xu Da explained.
Xu Yuexin thought that she would just break in through the door. Isn't it easier than digging a tunnel?
But it also depends on who it is for.
For her father, it was so tiring to dig holes, so it was easier to go in through the back door.
But for ordinary people, the tomb has many mechanisms, so it is safer to dig a tunnel directly to the main tomb chamber.
Zhao Jian followed the father and daughter, his eyes full of surprise. He did not expect that there was actually a big tomb here.
Looking at the long corridor in front of you, you can tell that the owner of the tomb is of high status.
From ancient times to the present, the custom of grand funerals has not declined. In today's world, it has become more and more extravagant. Not only nobles and princes, but also ordinary people will spend their wealth to bury their loved ones richly.
A moment ago, Zhao Jian was still thinking about what to do if he was cursed and died.
But now, looking at the corridor in front of him, he couldn't help but look forward to the scenery in the main tomb chamber.
Seeing her father walking all the way and opening three stone gates effortlessly, Xu Yue couldn't hold back and asked curiously:
"Dad, why are you so skilled?"
Xu Da turned around and smiled, "Practice makes perfect."
Otherwise, do you think that all the secret realms he visited in the world of cultivation were in vain?
What kind of secret realm is not a secret realm? Where are there any secret realms in this world? They are just caves or places of incarnation for powerful cultivators.
Because it is impossible to break through by force, all the elders will choose to open a passage in the cave's weak defense area, which is called the entrance to the secret realm.
As for why it takes decades or one or two hundred years to open once, and restricts the candidates, it is just to give the spiritual flowers and herbs in the cave more time to grow.
In the words of the woman in his family, it is resource reuse.
After the double stone door in front of them opened, Xu Yue and others successfully arrived at the main tomb chamber.
Xu Yue has never studied archeology, so she doesn't know what era the paintings on the stone door are from.
But judging from the dry masonry in the corridor, the tomb is well preserved, as if no one has entered it.
Xu Da is very skilled. He can calculate an approximate existence time after looking at the bricks and stones.
"This tomb must have been built for a thousand years."
A thousand years ago?
Zhao Jian did the math and said in horror: "Wasn't that built in the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
Xu Da nodded, "Probably so."
Zhao Jian's breath tightened, and he didn't know whether it was caused by the thin air in the tomb or the fast heartbeat.
Xu Da was not interested in when this tomb was built. He just wanted to know how much gold, silver and jewelry there were in this spacious main tomb!
Xu Pingyuan's holy light magic ball flew into the main tomb first.
The moment the white holy light stepped into the tomb, Xu Yue and others saw colorful lights lighting up inside the tomb at the same time.
What is jewelery?
Seeing the gold, silver, jade, strings of gemstones, and gold cakes piled up in the cave around the main coffin in the tomb, Xu Yue took a deep breath to stop feeling suffocated.
