Chapter 48 Entering the Qin Mausoleum

Zhou Cheng and I were pushed by Wenmo before we realized it and began to run forward desperately. It was really a matter of using hands and feet. We didn't care whether we were embarrassed or not. We were no longer invisible. Now we just regretted that we had less legs. As long as we were fast enough, I would be willing to roll around. I didn't want to be melted by the white mucus behind, and I couldn't even pick it off even if I died on the ground. I had to use a spoon when collecting the corpse.

We ran to the fork in the road that had just been stolen before we stopped. Uncle Er waved his hand and said breathlessly: "This should be almost the same. It turns out that those people have also modified the direction of the stolen hole from this, which obviously means that this place has been separated from the attack range of the white mucus."

This rapid running, coupled with some difficulty in exercising it, was really hard to run. We fell to the ground and gasped, both for rest and to calm the frightened heart.

Lying on the ground, I looked at the people in front of me. Except for Wen Mo's calmness, the remaining few were all covered in dust. In addition, in order to avoid the charcoal ash applied by the Yinming Snake Vine just now, they were not like a few "craftsmen" who were exploring the tomb and fighting. They were clearly a few shaking coal balls!

As expected, the white mucus was left not far from the fork in the hole and listened to it, and then slowly faded away. Only when we saw this scene did we breathe a sigh of relief.

After a little rest, we stood up and started walking along the other direction of the thief hole, which was the road to the top of the tomb.

I suddenly remembered something and asked, "We don't seem to have found any traces of Master An and Qi Feng along the way?"

The second uncle replied: "Yuan An came in earlier than us, and based on my understanding of Yuan An, Yuan An would definitely not take any risk to the fork in the road just now, let alone, maybe he knows much more about this place than us."

"That's right," said Yuanxiao: "I also have this idea. I think Yuan An cooperated with us this time just to use the Tang family's power in the north. He must have his own purpose."

I was a little puzzled when I heard the words of Yuanxiao, so I asked him: "With Uncle Tang's eyesight, how could I not see Yuan An's intentions? But why should I continue to cooperate with him?"

Yuanxiao sighed, "Actually, the Tang family is not a piece of iron that the outside world thinks. My father and my uncle have been fighting openly and secretly for the sake of their family. The winners are kings and losers are bandits, and those who lose power may not have good results. Therefore, both of us are trying our best to do our best, but my grandfather seems to appreciate my uncle more, so my father feels like he is fighting with his back. So in some things, he values ​​the result more. As for who is the one who is working with it, it doesn't matter, just like this cooperation."

After listening to the words of Lantern Festival, I probably understood some of the hidden stories.

The second uncle said: "Actually, the cooperation between Lao Tang and Yuan An is a bit of a mutual use. Although the Yuan family still has a certain strength, it has gradually declined in recent years. Relying on the power of the Tang family is also a temporary solution. Although the Yuan family has begun to decline, Yuan An is still one of the top big earth rakes in the circle. Compared with the Tan family in Sichuan and the Nie family in Shanxi, Yuan An is indeed the most suitable partner."

Yuanxiao nodded with a smile, "Uncle Second can see thoroughly, it is indeed like this. But the partner that my father first thought of was actually your second uncle. It's a pity that I couldn't contact you at that time, and Yuan An happened to be in Beijing, so this cooperation came."

Listening to the conversation between Yuanxiao and his second uncle, I also understood that in this so-called circle, there are really many heroes in the separatist areas and the disputes are complicated!

As we walked, we soon arrived at the end of the thief hole, where there was a downward hole. The diameter of the hole was not large, almost one person wide.

There are some exposed sealing mush soil at the edge of the entrance of the cave, and some huge broken stones are exposed. It seems that this is the tomb top of this mausoleum.

The Qin Mausoleum is relatively simple. Most people use a single earth pit to bury vertically, or assist with hollow bricks. Large tombs and even royal tombs will adopt a structure of two halls and two halls and stone-capped structures.

Especially the stone cap used in the tomb roof design is simple but very strong. The natural giant stones are built into strips of huge stones. The structure of the ridge and stone pillars is used to build the tomb roof. Special glue will be poured into solidified between the stones, and then covered with waterproof and moisture-proof paste soil.

It can be said that for this structural tomb roof, tomb robbers had no choice but to have such a strong tomb roof.

I used a flashlight to illuminate the stone beside the hole, "I'll go! How did this hole be chiseled out with such a huge stone?"

The second uncle sighed and shook his head, "Big nephew, don't always say such an amateur, you can do it. After all, you are a person in the Faqiu Sect. If you think about it for a moment, you will know that this is definitely not a hole that was chiseled. Just such a big stone, if you want to chisel like this, it will definitely be impossible to chisel it for less than ten days or half a month. This is obvious that it is explosives used!"

"Explosive? How is it possible?" I looked around, "The explosives used must be indispensable to blow up such a thick stone. This thief hole must collapse. Even if the thief hole does not collapse, the tomb below must collapse. But now all these are good, I think it is not explosive!"

Uncle Er glanced at me helplessly, lowered his head to observe the hole and the situation below, and was too lazy to pay attention to me. Zhou Cheng, who was next to him, came over and explained to me: "In fact, the current blasting methods are already very advanced and very accurate." Zhou Cheng can definitely be regarded as a professional in this regard. He told me that there is a blasting method called micro-difference blasting, also called micro-control blasting, which uses many characteristic explosives to blast one by one in millisecond time difference order, and divides the total energy of the same blasting into multiple, a continuous smaller energy to generate a kind of oscillation wave, thereby breaking the purpose of demolition.

When I heard Zhou Cheng's words, I nodded. His explanation was very clear, which also made me amazed by the various advanced methods now. It seems that the painstaking designs of the ancients are now difficult to work.

"However," Zhou Cheng continued: "Slightly differential blasting like this requires extremely accurate calculations and rich experience. Although I can tell the principle of it, if you let me operate it, I will not be able to do it, and even if it is done, it will not be able to achieve this effect. The person who can blow out this hole is definitely a blasting expert."

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, the second uncle raised his head, frowned and said, "I really don't know who can have this ability. There are indeed many people who play explosives in the circle, but I have never heard of people who are so good at this level. Generally, people who can master such skills are just those who build mountains and roads, or those who excavate geology."

Geological excavation? Geology! These two words made a person's name suddenly flash in my mind. I guess maybe he has such ability.

"I know a person, I think he can do it, even," said this, a possibility flashed in my mind, so I continued, "Even, maybe this hole was opened by him."

"Who?" several others urged me to say it quickly.

I looked at them and said two words gently, "Huangshan!"

As soon as the name was said, the second uncle and Wen Mo looked like they were condensed. The second uncle nodded and said, "This is really very possible. Huangshan has been engaged in geology for many years, and this is indeed possible."

Yuanxiao also asked, "Huangshan? Is the person who was saved by my father and others back then?"

"Yes." I nodded.

At this time, Uncle Er pointed to the side of the cave entrance of the tomb and said, "Look, there are a few deep traces here, and they are still fresh. It seems that Yuan An and Qi Feng went down from here. Without further ado, let's not speculate here. When you go down to the tomb, everything will be solved."

"That's right!" Yuanxiao was ready to rush, "md, I was slapped once many years ago, and now I'm snatched up by Yuan An again. If I don't hurry up, I can't catch up with the hot food!"

"Go to your uncle!" I grinned, "It makes you so disgusting! You are so tummy!"

"Okay OK! Stop making trouble!" Uncle Er waved his hand, reached out to take out a steel claw from his bag, and a long nail. He first slapped the steel claw into the ground with an engineer shovel, and then nailed it to death with a long nail. Uncle Er pulled it with his hand and felt it was strong enough. He looked up and said to us, "Take the cold fireworks."

Yuanxiao took out a cold firework from his bag, reached out and pulled it away, and threw it in along the hole.

Judging from the distance between the cold fireworks and the ground, the tomb top is about two floors high. Suddenly, the cold fireworks exploded in the tomb chamber below the tomb top, emitting a bright light. We can see through the light that at present, at least within the light range of the cold fireworks, it seems safe.

The second uncle hung the rope around his waist and said to us: "I'll go down and see the situation first and act according to my gestures."

We all nodded, "Second uncle, be careful." I instructed.

We saw Uncle Er's flashlight falling down the rope. After a while, the flashlight shook up three times. This was the safety signal we agreed on, so we slid one by one along the rope to the inside of the tomb chamber.

The moment my feet landed on the ground, I felt a little excited. The Qinling that we had gone through all the hardships and were looking for was now in front of us.

How many secrets are hidden here that so many people are flocking to it? What is the connection with the extremely ancient tomb of Qilian Mountain?
