The person who reported this matter to him was his younger brother Xu Tonglu.
"Brother, the cause of the foundation collapse has been initially investigated. No one thought that there was a large tomb under the foundation of that building. It has rained a lot in Nanyang recently. It may be because we dug the foundation before.
The soil was loose, and the rainwater seeped into the ground, causing the soil above the tomb to collapse, and the frame of the six-story building above also collapsed by about a third..."
During the video call, Xu Tonglu frowned and said this.
Tongdao Xu in the video is frowning slightly. From the beginning to now, he has never been angry while listening to his brother's report, he just frowned and listened.
Judging from the report of his brother Xu Tonglu, the responsibility for this foundation collapse does not lie with the project leader. It can only be said that it was bad luck. The frame of the building happened to be built two or three meters above the tomb. The foundation of that building
The digging was not shallow, but when digging the foundation before, the ancient tomb was not found.
However, if something like this happens, the company's losses will not be small.
At least tens of millions of losses.
"How do you plan to handle this matter?"
Comrade Xu asked.
The "you" mentioned here refers to the management of Ximen Real Estate.
Xu Tonglu took a breath and said: "Brother, let's not talk about how to deal with it. I heard Chen Jianyang, the project leader over there, said that some ancient things were found in that ancient tomb. He took some photos and sent them to me.
Do you want to take a look? I think it's quite interesting."
Xu Tongdao raised his eyelids slightly, a little surprised, "Antique? What antique?"
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Xu Tonglu's mouth, "Speaking of antiques... well, that's right! The dynasty wasn't that long ago. Some stone carvings were found in the ancient tomb, using traditional Chinese characters, and some kind of sword skills.
The secrets are also carved on stone slabs
Yes, I looked for an old man who knew traditional Chinese and took a look. The stone carving said... Hehe, it was said that the imperial court issued a ban on weapons. Civilians were not allowed to use weapons, and martial arts were no longer allowed to be practiced. The first to bear the brunt were those who used weapons all over the world.
A person who practices martial arts.
The owner of this ancient tomb was a martial arts practitioner who practiced swordsmanship. He knew that his life was short and he was about to die, so he specially prepared this large tomb, leaving several swords and his set of sword techniques.
Also stay in this tomb."
Speaking of this, Xu Tonglu smiled and said: "Hey, brother, do you think you can really achieve anything famous with this swordsmanship? I checked online, and I couldn't find the name of this swordsmanship online. I guess it has never been used in history.
What a great reputation you have."
Comrade Xu listened for a long time and remained silent.
I feel a bit ridiculous.
Because the imperial court issued a ban on martial arts and his longevity was short, he hid his swordsmanship and several swords in his tomb?
What is this all about?
What era is it now and still has martial arts? Swordsmanship?
However, Comrade Xu's curiosity was aroused.
It was this tomb that caused the building frame of one of his projects to collapse, causing a loss of at least tens of millions. As a result... such a huge loss was exchanged for a few ancient swords and a set of sword techniques...
Thinking about it this way, these swords and swordsmanship are incredibly valuable.
"Send me those photos."
"Okay, I'll send it to you in a moment."
Before Xu Tonglu finished speaking, Xu Tongdao said: "Don't wait for a while, let's do it now! How to deal with the foundation collapse this time, please discuss a plan first, and then talk to me later. Let's talk about it first this time.
Come here!”
Xu Tonglu nodded, "Okay, I understand, that's it?"
Xu Tongdao: "Yeah."
The video call ends.
Not long after, the photos taken with the mobile phone were sent to Xu Tongdao's mobile phone.
Judging from the photos, the tomb has collapsed into disarray, with many places being suppressed by soil and collapsed building frames.
On the other hand, more than half of the main tomb has not been crushed.
There is a photo of the coffin in the main tomb. I don’t know what kind of wood the coffin was made of, but it didn’t rot much.
In another photo, several ancient swords were taken side by side on the ground, one, two, three, four, five... Xu Tongdao counted silently, and there were five ancient swords in this photo.
The hilt of the sword was mostly rotten, and the sword body was also rusty. Xu Tongdao felt that if this thing appeared in the countryside, it would probably be used by a family as an iron fork for making fires.
Several other photos were taken of stone slabs. There are indeed many words on these stone slabs, and there are also some human-shaped patterns. Visual inspection seems to be some kind of sword technique.
Perhaps in order to take a clearer picture, the stone slabs in the photo seem to have been washed with clean water. When taking the pictures, a flashlight was also shined on them. Therefore, the words and sword skills on the stone slabs were clearly photographed.
.
Tongdao Xu himself couldn't even explain how he felt when he looked at these photos.
All in all, it feels very complicated.
He felt that if he lived in ancient times and found such an ancient tomb and such a set of swordsmanship in the ancient tomb, he would probably be very excited and feel that he had hit great luck. In the near future, he might become famous in the martial arts world.
but……
The question is what era is it now?
The story of the Boxer Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty has long told us that there is no future in practicing martial arts, and a bullet can kill you.
Decades of hard training are nothing compared to a bullet worth a few cents.
Swordsmanship during the prohibition period?
Tongdao Xu thought for a moment, and the martial arts ban in his mind seemed to have been promulgated by the Qing Dynasty.
Perhaps other dynasties in history also issued bans on martial arts, but the most serious ban on martial arts was probably the Qing Dynasty.
So, the sword skills in this tomb are most likely real?
If you really practice this swordsmanship, what will you achieve in the end?
Sword splitting a plane?
That is definitely impossible.
Sword cuts bullet?
I guess there's no hope either.
Sword to kill a living person?
The prison cell is waving to you, and you may have to take a bullet soon after entering the cell.
So the question is, what is the significance of practicing this swordsmanship?
What's the use?
It’s probably just about keeping fit!
Traditional Chinese characters... Comrade Xu can even guess some of them.
He stared at the name of the swordsmanship in the photo for a long time, and finally recognized that the name of this swordsmanship seemed very simple, just three words - Yang Jiajian.
Comrade Xu had heard of the Yang Family Spear and was familiar with it, but the Yang Family Sword? Has the Yang Family ever produced such a swordsmanship?
Have any celebrities died due to this sword technique?
In the evening of that day, Tongdao Xu once again had a video call with his brother Xu Tonglu.
Xu Tonglu told him that there were already archaeologists from Nanyang to excavate the ancient tomb. Ximen Real Estate also communicated with the partners of the project in Nanyang. All the collapsed staircase frames were blasted and demolished, and another foundation was selected for the new building.
, As for this loss, the two companies will share it according to the proportion of shares held by the project.
have to!
Now those ancient swords and those stone slabs were no longer in Xu's hands.
It can be said that a sum of money was lost in vain.
