Chapter 23 Demolition Master
I was a little surprised when I heard the words of Lantern Festival, "It collapsed so thoroughly! How did this be done? It's impossible to use explosives, right?"
Unexpectedly, Lanxiao nodded, "Yes, I think it should be used as explosives!"
I immediately shook my head, "How is this possible! Although the space in the caucus is not small, it is still too cramped for explosives. Once it explodes, let alone collapse, the entire house will be blown away together!"
Yuanxiao did not refute, "Then look at this." As he said that, Yuanxiao reached out to show me, and some black powder was sticking to his hands.
I pinched a little, put it under my nose and smelled it, and was immediately stunned, "This is, gunpowder!"
Yuanxiao nodded. I was a little confused. It seemed that the underground tomb chamber was really collapsed by someone with gunpowder, which was even more impossible for me to be the second uncle! He never used firearms and other things. Moreover, the person who exploded the tomb chamber was really superb. It could make the explosion look like a collapse, completely destroy the structure of the tomb chamber, and also ensure that the power of the explosion did not spread out from the ground. This control of explosives really made me feel a little unbelievable, "Is there anyone who has such blasting technology?"
Yuanxiao said: "Of course, the last time I went to Gurbantonggut, there was such a blasting master in the Tang family's team. How accurate can he blast? For example, three huge rocks falling together, he could only explode one in the middle, but two intact. This man had been a gunner in the geological engineering team for more than 30 years, and knew more about explosives than his wife. Unfortunately, "Lanxiao sighed long, "This man died in the tomb of King Shan Huan."
"In this way, the person who came here also has such skills. But not many people can have such skills. Who would it be?" I frowned and thought.
Lantern Festival said: "If this person has not been a soldier, he is engaged in geological engineering!"
"Geological Engineering?" I suddenly felt that this word was very familiar. I recalled it carefully and instantly remembered a person, Huangshan! I knew that this person was doing geological exploration and was quite good at blasting technology. We once discovered the hole he exploded on the tomb wall under the island tomb under the ancient tomb. It was neat and firm, and did not destroy the structure of other locations at all. I remember that even Zhou Chengdu praised his blasting technology at that time.
However, I don’t agree with my own idea. I don’t think this person will be Huangshan. Although I know he can do it, Huangshan has never been known and has never seen him. I don’t really believe that he will do such a thing in person, and I also think of the reason why he does this.
Seeing that I was thinking about it, Yuanxiao asked me if I had thought of something. I shook my head, "It's nothing, I just think this matter is getting more and more strange!"
Yuanxiao patted the short shovel hanging on the bag, "How is it? Should we dig it all the way?"
I waved my hand and said, "No, no, I've been down there once, and the distance from here is not close. It's basically impossible for us to dig up the tomb chamber. Even if we can dig up the tomb chamber, I think the current tomb chamber is also filled with a lot of soil. Do we still have to dig out the tomb chamber again? Don't say whether we can do it under the ground, even if we dig such a large space on the ground, we can't do it in less than a day or two. Give up!"
Yuanxiao looked a little sad, but he nodded, "It's all that's the only way! The good ancient tomb is gone! Alas!"
I knew what he was sighing, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him. I stood up and said, "Let's go, while it's still early before dawn, let's go up the mountain now!"
Lantern Festival has obviously not yet escaped from the mood just now, "Ah? Go up the mountain? What mountain?"
I walked out without looking back, "My ancestral tomb is on the north mountain. Let's go!"
Yuanxiao and I carefully left our ancestral home, and after leaving the village, we walked north.
Our area is a plain hilly area. There is a slightly higher mountain on the north and south sides of the village, with an altitude of about 500 meters. According to legend, due to the terrain, floods and mudslides often occurred here a long time ago. However, this situation is gone now. The two mountains and rivers have severe soil erosion, and many places have been exposed. There is really no soil to flow. During the rainy season, landslides occasionally occur. However, after recent years of management, this situation has improved greatly.
Fortunately, the village is still far from these two mountains, so these situations basically do not threaten the safety of the village. There is a small hill to the north of the village. It is really a bit of a bulge to say that it is a small hill. I think it is at most a bulge on the ground.
This "bulge" is flat and round, so people call this mountain Turtle-beard Mountain because it looks very much like a turtle shell. And my family's ancestral tomb is on this Turtle-beard Mountain.
Although the Turtle Beard Mountain is not big, the vegetation above is quite rich, so the elderly in the village say that Turtle Beard Mountain has good feng shui and good luck. I think this is probably the reason why our ancestors chose the ancestral tomb on Turtle Beard Mountain.
The weather was very cold in the second half of this season. Yuanxiao and I trotted all the way to Guibei Mountain, one to save time, and the most important thing was to exercise our bodies and maintain heat.
Although the weeds on Turtle Beard Mountain have withered and the trees are depressed, many of the thick trunks still blocked some of the cold wind. After going up the mountain, we felt a little warmer. I and I walked on the small dirt road that people stepped out, and the dead branches and weeds around us rustled under the wind.
As he walked, Yuanxiao suddenly pulled me, lowered his voice and said, "Listen, it seems that there is movement!"
I was startled by his words, hurriedly pulled him down and listened carefully to the surroundings, but found that there seemed to be nothing abnormal except the sound of wind and the sound of shaking plants. I was still a little confident in my hearing, "It's okay, I didn't hear anything abnormal!"
Yuanxiao tilted her head, "Maybe I heard it wrong, let's go!"
I nodded, so we two continued to move forward. After we walked a distance for a while, I suddenly heard some unharmonious subtle sounds mixed with the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the weeds behind me. This sound was very hidden and almost appeared with the rhythm of the weeds shaking.
I doubted whether I heard it wrong, and then I deliberately slowed down and listened to the sound not far behind me with all my heart. Soon I was sure that I had heard it wrong. Not far behind me, there was indeed a voice that was always following us.
