Of course, he couldn't bear to complain about Wen Xin. The main reason was that Wen Yan'an was ignorant. After all, he was just an eighth-grade official. He didn't do business and just followed a girl who hadn't left the government. What kind of fun was he doing?
There were no people in the courtyard outside the rockery and everything stopped. He saw Wen Xin. He felt relieved tonight and quietly sneaked back into the tunnel.
As for An's coming to the junk yard tomorrow, he didn't worry too much. After a moment's thought, he already had a way to deal with it.
Wen Yan'an didn't have time. She just came to take a look. He just happened to be away. As long as she missed that meeting time, Wen Yan'an would be unlikely to go to the junkyard again in the future.
After calming down, I finally turned my attention away from the love between my children and started to get down to business, drawing pictures along the way with paper and charcoal pencils.
Along the way, he visited the death pit again. The hanging bones were gone. He wrote down the location on a piece of paper and marked the number of steps.
Then I took a road I had never walked before and kept moving forward.
As I walked, I noticed something was wrong. This tunnel was a bit too long, and it should have gone beyond the confines of the Wen Mansion. However, the tunnel still showed no sign of coming to an end.
He was curious about where the tunnel was leading to, so he continued to move forward, but the further he walked, the more unsure he became.
After walking more than ten thousand steps, before reaching the end, he couldn't help but stop and looked back and forth.
Obviously, the Wen Mansion was very big, but it was not so big, and the road had almost no turns. Having experienced the encounter with Guan Fengyang Ancient Tomb, he was a little doubtful that he was going in circles again.
Could it be that the same evil things in the ancient tomb are hidden under the Wen Mansion?
When hesitating, he decided to move forward again.
The reason is simple. If you really hit the road again, you may not be able to get out if you turn around. If you don't hit the road, there will definitely be an end.
He kept walking until he reached the point where the oil lamp in his hand was running low, and he was doomed to go back without a light to illuminate him. Just when he was about to despair, and after walking more than 6,000 steps, a turning point suddenly appeared in front of him.
.
He hurried over and saw that it was a curve, but it still didn't reach the end.
After turning the corner and walking about a hundred steps, I finally saw the stairs going up. The steps were relatively long. Follow the steps to the end and you will see a stone wall.
We have walked such a long way to the end. It cannot be a dead end. What is the place behind this?
He put his ear against the stone wall and listened attentively for a long time, but did not hear the slightest movement.
He looked around with the oil lamp and saw a metal lamp holder on the side stone wall. Based on his previous experience, he grabbed the metal handle and tried it. There was indeed room for movement, so he pulled it down.
There was a click, the stone wall came loose, and there was another revolving door.
He gently pushed it open and looked inside. He saw a dark space. When the light shone through, he saw a coffin. The coffin was parked in a small stone room with some burial vessels placed on both sides.
He entered the small stone chamber. The space was indeed very small. An oil lamp could illuminate the entire outline. There were also two metal lamp holders on the walls on both sides of the tomb chamber entering the secret passage. He went over to try it out and found that it was the same as the one in the secret passage.
On one side is the same mechanism, which means that the secret passage can also be entered from the tomb.
Digging such a long tunnel just to build this tomb? What kind of big shot must be buried to be worthy of such a huge project?
He couldn't help but touch the side of the coffin, put his hand on it, and looked inside. He felt that there was indeed a corpse inside. He immediately placed the oil lamp on the light holder of the tomb, then grabbed a corner of the coffin and carried it.
With great force, the coffin nails driven in from the surrounding area were lifted up, and the lid of the coffin was lifted, revealing the situation inside.
He then took an oil lamp and shined it into the coffin. He found the bones that had been buried, and some gold and silver items were placed beside them for burial.
Yu Qing felt something was wrong. He could tell that the owner of the tomb seemed to be from a wealthy family, but compared with the Wen family's wealth, it was obviously wrong for such a large project to meet such specifications.
I looked around and found that there were two metal light holders on the stone wall opposite the secret passage. There were several steps under the long stone wall in the middle, so I went over to test the two light holders. Sure enough, one of them clicked, and the long stone wall
The wall loosened a bit.
Yu Qing immediately pushed it, but found that it couldn't be pushed, so he pushed the loose part again and it clicked back into place.
He pulled the light holder mechanism again, and the stone wall became loose again. This time he grabbed the loose opening and pushed it inward. Sure enough, it opened easily. Only then did he realize that this was either a revolving door or a stone door fixed on one side.
As soon as the stone door is opened, there is starlight and moonlight outside.
Yu Qing was startled, quickly put out the oil lamp, and then slowly got out.
Looking around, the mountain breeze was blowing, and he found that he had arrived at a hill in the deserted forest. There were many tombs on the hill, and he emerged from behind the tombstone of a tomb that looked dilapidated.
On one side is a large river meandering through, shining brightly in the moonlight.
There is also a small river at the foot of the mountain, with sparkling waves flowing into the big river.
This place is in the triangle where the small river and the big river meet.
Looking back, the lights of Ningzhou Fucheng in the distance were dim. Wen actually dug a tunnel from the Fucheng to this place outside the city. Wasn't he afraid of any construction or excavation damage along the way?
Thinking of this, he was suddenly startled, and he slowly turned back to look at the exit of the tomb at his feet. Directly opposite the tomb was the small river, which was only about a hundred steps away.
He immediately estimated the angle of the turn, followed the direction of the river, and was shocked to discover a possibility. The long tunnel coming along this way should have been built under the river, or it might have been dug along the river.
of.
In this way, there is no need to worry about someone accidentally digging a tunnel over time.
However, there is still such a long distance to ensure that the tunnel is waterproof and leak-proof under the river. The amount of work is so huge that it is really unimaginable. How many years will it take to quietly build such a tunnel?
After a moment of wonder, he turned around and groped around the outside of the built-in tombstone, believing that there was also an entry mechanism open outside.
Later, it was discovered that one of the stones on the beam, just below the lintel of the tombstone, could be pressed upwards and was connected to the opening mechanism.
When I returned to the tomb and closed the tombstone, I looked at the writing on it in the moonlight outside. It said that it was an anonymous person buried at the expense of a joint venture between the squire.
The closed tombstone clicked, indicating that it was reset.
I lit the oil lamp again and looked at the soft gold and silver burial objects beside the bones in the coffin. After all, they were not moved.
It's not that he doesn't want it, but the contents in the coffin are obviously for tomb robbers.
It stands to reason that there is no property in the tomb of the anonymous soldier. This tomb is not easy to be robbed. If someone is really unwilling to dig up the tomb, open the coffin and find the property, they will naturally stop knocking and looking for it. This should be
A means to prevent secret passages from being exposed.
If he wanted to use the gold and silver, he would destroy the tomb. Otherwise, how could he explain why the contents inside were missing?
Not only did he not take away the contents, he put the lid back on the coffin, used his skills to drive the nails back into the coffin, and restored it to its original state. After checking around again, he returned to the steps of the secret passage and replaced the stone wall.
Only retreat after closing.
On the way, I was rushing in a hurry, almost running, but as expected, the oil lamp ran out of oil and went out.
Afterwards, he was in absolute darkness. He touched the wall with one hand and walked forward in the darkness.
After walking a few miles, he touched the first corner, took out the fire stick and lit it, quickly found the entrance, and quietly slipped back into the utility room.
After a long moment of silence, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, I dug out from the pile of debris.
After checking that there was no problem at the door and then in the bedroom, and confirming that there was no problem with Coyotito, he changed the oil lamp again and sneaked back into the tunnel again.
Today, he wanted to get a rough outline of the tunnel under Wen's house to prepare for the targeted in-and-out investigation later.
When we reached the intersection that went left and right, we hesitated for a moment, and finally walked to the tunnel on the right that was obviously Chuwen Mansion.
After going back and forth several times, he never passed this way once. Today he wanted to see where it led to the outside of the house.
As I walked, I found another long road with no forks.
However, it was much shorter than the previous one out of the city. After walking for about four miles, I reached the end. I went straight up a step and found that the exit was blocked by a large rockery. There were faint sounds of singing and laughter outside.
What's going on, it's so late and there are still people singing and dancing?
I found the light leaking hole and looked outside. There were beautiful orioles in the pavilions and pavilions. They hugged and hugged the male guests one after another. I immediately understood what place was outside, a brothel!
Each hanging lantern has a signboard inscribed on it: Yuchun Tower!
Yu Qing, who was snooping around, was secretly surprised that the end of the tunnel in Wen Mansion turned out to be a brothel, which was really surprising.
There was a tomb in front and a brothel here. He could only sigh that the Wen family knew how to play.
After observing the environment outside, he was about to turn around and go back when he suddenly stopped, turned around and lay down in a gap to look outside. He saw a wall not far away, and he thought about going to visit the mansion.
The reason is that when I entered Wen Mansion, I didn’t bring anything useful with me, such as fluorite for lighting. Having that thing to explore the tunnels is much better than an oil lamp that needs to be carefully guarded at all times. The other is Lingmi, which Jin Wen
I didn't dare to bring too much with me for fear of being searched, so I sewed some in my clothes. The amount of the big head was almost gone. If I had spiritual rice, I wouldn't have to look for bones in the Wen Mansion later.
Including self-defense weapons, the three brothers' belongings were hidden outside.
There are no special circumstances during the probation period. Basically, he cannot leave Wenfu. In his case, it is not convenient to enter the tunnel during the day.
After thinking again and again and looking outside, he took off his coat and put it on backwards. Then he touched an iron ring tied to an iron chain and tried to pull it. There was a click, and a rock in front of him moved.
Yu Qing tried to be careful and tried to push gently. The rock slid out smoothly, revealing a hole.
He stretched out his head and poked out, carefully drilled out, and gently pushed the rock back with his back. After it reset with a click, he squatted in the shadow and carefully observed his surroundings.
Little did he know that on the top of the rockery, there was a bearded man in black with a wine gourd in his hand. He was sitting there in a daze.
