After getting the stone box, Xiao Chang and Lin Yian must look at the objects stored in it. If, as Li Jinyong said, they are just some worthless tokens of his family, then of course they are good to you and me.
If the objects inside are of the kind that can be connected to the city, it is a matter of opinion whether Li Jinyong can take it away smoothly, or whether Xiao Chang and Lin Yian can stop him.
They have evil intentions with each other, but they have to cooperate with each other.
In the tomb robbing business, apart from father and son, the so-called affection and friendship are all paper.
It will break at one point.
But what is somewhat ridiculous is that the benefits of fighting force them to get together.
Currently, this is the situation.
No one can trust the other, but no one can live without the other.
Snap!
Xiao Chang snapped his fingers skillfully, and the clear voice echoed in the slightly dull room.
The dog-headed military advisor behind him understood and quickly came over, "Young Protector, what's going on?"
Xiao Chang: "You personally bring the living thing I prepared!"
Because this maritime merchant's tomb is buried deep, more than ten meters underground.
No one knows how dangerous it is down there.
According to experience, you definitely need to test it with live animals first.
Under the care of Heizi, Lin Yian quickly put on the mouse clothes and waterproof and fireproof soft-soled boots. When he heard Xiao Chang ordering people to get the living things, a look of approval immediately appeared on his face, "Young Protector, you
If I didn’t say it, I would have really forgotten that you need to bring a living creature with you when you go to a tomb full of mechanisms, which kind of chicken, duck or goose?”
Xiao Chang smiled mysteriously, "You'll find out later. Now let's pick out some equipment!"
Li Jinyong chose an engineering shovel imported from Germany. The steel mouth glowed with a faint cold light. Just one look at it revealed that it was worth a lot.
Lin Yi'an chose a cyclone shovel, which is a bucket tool specially made by Danshan Taibao. The handle is screwed together with two steel pipes, one horizontally and one vertically, and three shiny and extremely sharp blades can be installed on the top.
Because it looks similar to an airplane propeller, it is called a cyclone shovel.
The advantage is that it can be disassembled and assembled at will, but the disadvantage is that it can only be dug horizontally.
It won't work if you dig vertically.
Even horizontal digging requires a lot of experience to control it, because the umbrella leaves are so sharp that they can penetrate even the extremely hard tomb bricks in the tomb, let alone the soil. If you are not careful, you will cut your hands.
In the end, it was Xiao Chang’s choice.
He took out a steel shovel from a long wooden box. The shovel head was 15 centimeters long, the back end was thickened, and the front end was a half-moon-shaped sharp blade.
There is a connector on the shovel shoulder, which can screw on a stainless steel threaded steel pipe about half a meter in length.
This object is the famous Luoyang shovel.
According to legend, it was invented by a man named Li Yaya in the 1920s.
On the surface, this person is a small businessman, but in fact, he is a tomb robber who engages in business without capital.
In the past, most grave robbers used ordinary shovels. This man went to the market and saw someone building a shed at the market. The tools for digging holes were sharp and could bring out the soil.
He sneaked over to observe, and saw that the shovel head was in the shape of a semi-horn. When inserted into the soil, the shovel head would be enlarged by the soil, because the soil was squeezed into the shovel body, and when it was pulled out, the soil could be easily removed.
Bring it out.
Inspired by this, Li Yaya improved it and it became what it is today.
Since Luoyang is an ancient capital, there are many ancient tombs, with tombs on top of tombs, and there is no place for cows to lie down. After the shovel appeared, tomb thieves first robbed tombs near Luoyang. Later people called it "Luoyang shovel".
Li Jinyong saw Xiao Chang carrying a Luoyang shovel instead of an engineer shovel or a cyclone shovel. He was very puzzled and asked: "The robbery cave has basically been dug? Why do you still carry a Luoyang shovel? In such a narrow place as the robbery cave, the engineer shovel is more important."
Is it useful?"
After hearing Li Jinyong's question, Xiao Chang just raised the corner of his mouth slightly and was not in a hurry to answer. He took out a dagger from the tools on the floor, then skillfully put the Luoyang shovel together, and casually put the dagger on it.
stamp.
With the sound of gold and iron clashing, the dagger snapped.
"Ah, what a sharp shovel!"
"Is this the legendary slaying of gold and iron?"
"Yes, it's so sharp. Even if the tomb door is half a meter thick, it can be easily broken with this treasure!"
The people onlookers murmured for a while.
At this time, Xiao Chang smiled proudly at Li Jinyong and said, "Brother Li, this shovel looks ordinary, but it is actually very extraordinary.
“I bought its steel material on an underground black market abroad.
"It's not what we have now, but it was dug out from a thousand-year-old ancient tomb in the desert by our overseas colleagues.
"Because it is extremely difficult to cut, the owner of this piece of material only used about one-twentieth of the small material to make a dagger. The seller demonstrated it at the time. It can be said that it can cut through metal. Ordinary steel and stone can be used on the dagger.
It's like tofu in front of you.
"After I bought it, I spent a lot of money to hire someone to forge it abroad. There were fifty processes from blank making, heat treatment, shaping, and sharpening.
"If you want to dig a U-shaped hole under the tomb door without machinery, it's impossible without it!"
At this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside.
Whoa whoa!
Then two more eardrum-stirring cock crows came in.
Afterwards, everyone not only took a breath of cold air at what they saw.
I saw Xiao Chang's dog-headed military advisor walking in quickly holding a huge rooster that was as big as a goose.
In addition to its huge size, this rooster also looks very distinctive. The comb on its head is as red as blood, like a blazing bloody flame.
The coat is colorful in red and yellow, and looks extremely shiny, as if it has been brushed with a layer of tung oil.
And the chicken feet are golden yellow.
A chicken's beak is hook-shaped and is no less sharp than an eagle's beak.
A pair of chicken eyes were bright and sharp, like two bright black gems. They looked at the people in the room without showing timidity. On the contrary, they looked at each one slowly and with vigour.
Exuding an amazing heroic spirit anytime and anywhere.
Everything proves that this is not an ordinary poultry, but a spiritual bird that has descended into the mortal world!
"Wow, this cock is too big, isn't it?"
"Yeah, I'm afraid it must weigh thirty kilograms, right?"
"I think an eagle would be terrified if he saw this thing."
"Humph, what's an eagle? Even if the golden eagle comes, you may not be able to defeat it!"
Skillfully, he tied a special nylon rope to the chicken's feet, and Xiao Chang slowly placed it at the entrance of the robbery cave.
"Jinwu, go!"
The rooster was not afraid of the dark wind blowing out of the robber's cave. He scratched the ground with his sharp claws a few times and plunged in without hesitation.
As the nylon rope on Xiao Chang's handle continued to decrease, the big cock went deeper and deeper into the robbery hole.
After about fourteen or five meters, Xiao Chang began to turn the handle to signal the big rooster to come back.
