You must know that whether this thing is collected at home or used as a gift, it is an excellent object - especially those officials, after all, they are from a scholar's background, and all of them are not shallow in learning, not to mention how good their conduct is, at least they have the vision and the level is also there, they like these things very much. Some officials, if you ask them to do something, you will send gold and silver directly, but if you do what he likes, ask him what he likes, and send an antique to it, it seems that it is level, grade and elegant, and people will accept it if they can't say it.

So the market for this thing is very big.

"Dig, dig tightly!"

Seeing that Xu Sheng and the others were very tired after working all night, and it seemed that they had no strength, Zeng Wenxin immediately encouraged: "When the tomb is dug up, the old man will reward you with five taels of silver first!" ”

On the other hand, Qingyunzi listened slightly, since it was judged that it was the tomb of Wanyan Yinshuke, and it had not been stolen and excavated, there would be no shortage of good things in the tomb, and you could catch a lot of money! With so much effort from these people, you only have five taels of silver per person? Te also slammed the door!

It's just that he looked at it from his point of view, but he didn't know that these five taels of silver were already an out-and-out huge amount of money for these men.

When Xu Sheng and the others heard this, their hearts were hot, and they seemed to be full of strength, so they wanted to get up and continue to work.

Qingyunzi stomped on the ground and said with a smile: "I see, I can't dig down directly, I have to open a hole in the oblique thorn from the side." ”

"What's wrong?"

Zeng Wenxin squatted down and picked at the ground, the soil was picked off, and there was a very hard texture underneath, and he was surprised: "Stone? Is this to the burial chamber? ”

"Hey, look at my memory." Before the words fell, he patted his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "How can you get to the tomb so quickly?" This is the turtle at the bottom, right? It's not small. ”

"That's right." Qingyunzi said: "Tell your people to clean up." ”

Xu Sheng and the others cleaned up, and finally cleaned up the turtle under the stele.

Or to be more precise, a turtle carrying a stone monument.

The so-called turtle is relatively obscure, and it has a more popular name - Baxia. During the Jiajing period of Zhengde, everyone Yang Shen wrote the "Sheng'an Outer Collection" and said that the tyrant is the eldest of the nine sons of the dragon, which looks like a turtle and is good to bear, has teeth, and can carry three mountains and five mountains.

It is to carve many stones into the shape of a tyrant, so that it can carry heavy objects such as stone monuments and stone pillars.

This piece of Dajin Ancient Chinese Book makes the turtle under the Shendao Monument of King Wanyan Gong of Xiangwu County of Jinyuan County, King of Shu, about three feet three inches high, about five feet wide, and the length reaches seven feet! This is still the length of the current digging, and the overall length is conservatively estimated to be at least nine feet.

In other words, now the ground of the pit is completely occupied by this turtle, and Xu Sheng led people to dig a considerable distance in front and back, but still did not dig to the head and tail.

This stele is so huge, and the turtle is so huge, if you want to move away completely, it is pure fool's dream. This thing adds up to tens of thousands of catties, and it is not enough to see it with a dozen or so of them, and it will not be ten times more!

Then you can only bypass the excavation.

However, it is not too troublesome, just make a hole diagonally down from the back of the stele, and there is no need to dig it from the ground. After all, being able to dig this stele is enough to show that the direction of excavation is correct.

In this way, it's useless to be anxious, looking at this progress, I'm afraid that no matter how fast it is, it will not be able to dig until tomorrow day.

Zeng Wenxin suddenly became a little unenergetic, after all, he was not young, and as soon as the interest went, he was a little sleepy, and went back to the temple to rest. There are futons and everything, but they are just spread on the ground, which is a little cool.

Qingyunzi asked Zhang Mazi to hold a torch, stand in front of the stele, and look at the stele, full of interest.

There are dozens of lines engraved on the front of this monument, densely packed, all of which are very beautiful faces. After looking at it for a while, Qingyunzi saw the clue, it turned out that this inscription was written by Wang Zhongyuan, who was the salt and iron judge of the Shaanxi East Road Transfer Division at the time, and the inscription that recorded the life of Wanyan Yinshu Ke was also written by him.

Qingyunzi looked at it and explained it to Zhang Mazi in detail. He had taught Zhang Mazi to read and write before, so Zhang Mazi had no problem reading and writing, and the words on it were naturally recognized. He knew that the master was reminding him, and he listened very seriously.

Qingyunzi first read through the inscription, and then read it back and forth four or five times, until the end of the ugly time, and then returned happy.

It's almost about three points equivalent to the next generation.

He couldn't stay up, and he knew that there would be no results tonight, so he went back to the temple and slept. This is not the time to pay attention to it, a blanket is laid, wrapped in a quilt and lying down, it is to fall asleep.

Zhang Mazi hadn't done much of this before, and he was even more sleepy, and he fell asleep soon after lying down.

He was awakened by a loud noise of excitement.

I don't know how long I slept, but I heard a very noisy noise in my ears, and in a daze, I seemed to hear someone shouting: "Dig, dig!" ”

Zhang Mazi didn't wake up at all, his head was still confused, and his eyes were still closed, but the excellent reflexes he had exercised these days had helped, and almost the moment he heard the noise, the whole person was a carp jumping up, and then the knife that Shi Jin gave him in his arms was already in his hand.

It wasn't until this moment that he opened his eyes.

After sweeping around, I found that my vigilance was purely superfluous, there was no one in the temple, only a few empty blankets, and the rest seemed to be in the courtyard, from where the noisy sound came.

Zhang Mazi rubbed the corners of his eyes, put the knife in his arms, and walked quickly to the courtyard.

There was already a circle of people around the pit excavated yesterday, and the space under it was limited, so I couldn't get it all in, so I had to stop on it.

Zhang Mazi separated the crowd and squeezed in, and sure enough, he saw that his master was about to drill into the ramp at the bottom of the pit. Qingyunzi raised his eyes and saw Zhang Mazi, pointed at him, and shouted at the top: "Rest assured of him, the old man has to take my apprentice to see and see." ”

Zhang Mazi was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood in the bamboo basket, and someone on top pulled it and put it down.

At the bottom of the pit, I took a look around, located behind the tombstone, the pit that was obliquely downward had been dug on a large scale, the oblique hole was about five feet high, it was an adult man, and it was enough to enter and exit easily by bending down slightly, and the oblique lead to the ground, at first glance, the black hole was empty, and I don't know how much it went deeper.

"Follow the teacher in, talk less, ask less and listen more, especially do less, don't fumble around when you see novelties...... Qingyunzi instructed: "The things in this tomb are all evil, but they will kill people!" ”

"Yes." Zhang Mazi replied solemnly.

When I followed Master into the cave, the light immediately dimmed, but there were torches on the walls of the cave, and I could see things.

The passage slopes down steeply, and you have to hold on to both sides to avoid rolling down.

The passage was diagonally downward, then turned to the left-hand side, digging into the ground in the direction it came. If you look at it in three dimensions, these two oblique downward passages happen to be at an angle of about 90 degrees. In this way, the excavation site was restored to the position that had been circled by the smiling King Kong, that is, directly below the stone tablet where the turtle was carrying. The reason why an oblique hole was dug was actually to bypass the turtle, and the specific location remained the same.

walked forward for about three feet, and it was the end, and there were already a few people gathered at the end, and Zeng Wenxin was among them.

Here, it is about four feet deep from the ground.

"Uncle Qingyun, come and take a look, if you have dug up the tomb, I look like it." Zeng Wenxin saw the two of them and hurriedly greeted.

Everyone separated a road and let Qingyunzi pass.

The ground at the end of the passage has been cleared, revealing a stone floor.

Qingyunzi squatted on the ground and looked carefully.

The space swept out here is full of a square circle, and the bottom is full of stones, and it is not a natural stone at first glance, the lines are neat and straight, one by one, close to each other, it is actually a large stone made of granite I don't know how many, neatly built together. These granite bars are five feet long and two feet wide!

Qing Yunzi looked at it for a while, then walked to the side of the cave wall, and groped his hand to poke inside at the junction of the dirt and the stone slab. Later. He simply copied a pickaxe and gouged it up there.

After digging for about a cup of tea, he dug out a hole in the dirt the size of a bucket, leaned over to look at it, and then shrank back.

"That's right, this is the burial chamber."

Qing Yunzi patted the soil on his hands, pointed to the hole he dug and said: "The tombs of the Jin Dynasty are all excavated from the stone layer, and then sealed with stones. We have seen the stone under our feet, and the hole dug by the old man has been dug to the edge of the stone, and beyond it, there is the stone wall, which is connected to the mountain behind. ”

"Let's go right now, right above this tomb, and just dig it down. It is also more convenient to dig down from the hole that the old man just dug, just on the corner. ”

"Yes, Uncle Xie advises!"

Zeng Wenxin said with a smile.

"Hey, you." Qing Yunzi waved his hand: "Let's still come here?" ”

He took Zhang Mazi out again, and when he returned to the temple, he whispered: "Remember, when you are about to dig up the tomb in the future, don't go forward, just leave this kind of work to others." The tomb is blocked, it has not been ventilated for thousands of years, and there are some rotten things inside, I don't know how much yin and evil qi has been accumulated, as soon as Pu opens it, it is all drilled out, and the unlucky one who happened to be unlucky is colliding with it, and he will get seriously ill if he can't say it, because there are many people who have died. ”

"Yes, I'm awake."

Zhang Mazi hurriedly responded.

What happened next was actually a bit lackluster.

Zeng Wenxin's subordinates used iron picks, chisels, hammers, etc., to open a two-foot square skylight on the top of the tomb, and then quickly retreated en masse.

All of them sat on the surface in bamboo baskets.

They dug a lot of graves, so naturally they had experience in this area, and they knew that the first thing they did after digging up was to ventilate and disperse the smell.

After a whole morning, everyone had nothing to do, so they all hurried to rest, and no one knew what would happen next. After the morning passed, after lunch, Zeng Wenxin threw the bowl on the ground and shouted: "Brothers, it's time to work!" Let's go baby! "Go baby!"
