Chapter 51 White paste mud

In the narrow and stuffy tomb passage, the blood stains were shocking. Some of them spattered on the stone wall. It was suspected that the corpse soldiers had pierced the body and spurted out blood during the fight. The blood stains had not yet dried up, and there were puddles on the ground.

I wonder if this was left by Brother Yaozi, or by my master, or if both of them were injured?

With such a large amount of blood loss, the injuries are serious no matter how you look at them.

"Why are you still standing there? Find someone quickly!"

I can't calm down. Maybe my master and Brother Yaozi are lying somewhere now, tasting despair alone...

The blood stains continued one after another, spreading all the way to the "D" intersection of the corridor, and then spreading to the left.

Sure enough, my master and Brother Yaozi walked in front of us.

The blood stains began to thin out here, at least there was no longer the situation of one large pool connected to another large pool, dripping and dripping, forming a series.

I was worried about the situation and injuries of the two of them. I was so anxious that I hurriedly followed the blood trail. I kept wailing all the way, reminding me to take care of the wounded and slow down a little. Isn't this a forced march?

Saving people is like putting out a fire, how can we stop?

The scale of this tomb is obviously much larger than the water burial tomb above. This corridor runs through the tomb and should undoubtedly be the main tomb corridor. It runs all the way down. As it continues to go deeper, the oxygen begins to gradually become scarce, coupled with strenuous exercise and injuries.

, I felt burning in my lungs, dizzy, and had a sense of exhaustion.

Just when I almost had to stop and rest, the main tomb passage came to an end, and my master and Brother Yaozi were in front.

My master was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the ancient sword stuck in front of him, as if he was meditating, while Brother Yao Zi crossed his legs and leaned against the tomb wall to pound the earth.

My master's condition is okay, just a little messy, but Brother Yaozi's condition is really worrying. His lower abdominal injuries are similar to mine. They are all puncture wounds, but the locations are different. Mine is at most a layer of holes.

On the skin and flesh, his wound was extremely close to his navel. Even if the wound was only four to five centimeters, it would still be extremely dangerous.

As the saying goes, cutting someone ten times is not as good as stabbing them once. The cuts are actually not terrible, as long as you don't hit the neck. If you cut off the head with one knife, the chance of death is very small, but the stabbing is different.

A knife might kill you!

Brother Yaozi is injured in this position, no matter how he looks at it, he will not survive!

It was a troublesome journey for us to come this far. It was a good thing to meet again now, but when I saw Brother Yaozi lying there with a pale face, he just pulled a piece of cloth and tied it around his stomach, I was really happy.

Can't get up.

"It's okay, I can't die."

Brother Yaozi was very open-minded. There was something strange in his eyes, and he smiled heartily: "You can worry about my life. I accept this brother, but my situation is different from that of normal people. There is no need to think about me.

It will be alive and kicking in a day at most. Now you should think about this tomb. After all, this is the craftsmanship of your ceremony officer, and you have the most say."

My master also shook his head at me, indicating that Brother Yaozi was okay, and said, "Find a way!"

Are the fatal injuries okay?

But thinking about the legendary experience of Brother Yaozi coming back from the dead, I gradually relaxed my worries. Along the way, Brother Yaozi behaved like a normal person in all aspects, so that I really regarded him as an ordinary person.

People looked at it and were suddenly shocked at this moment, but they couldn't help but secretly laugh at themselves for being so nervous.

After relaxing, I began to look at the situation here.

At this point in the corridor, there is no road ahead.

There is no tomb chamber, no fork in the road, it is a dead end. It seems that after the tomb was built here, it was abandoned for some reasons.

"Is the entrance to the next level of tomb not here?"

Lao Bai scratched his head: "Did we go too far?"

"No way!"

I immediately rejected this guess.

The structure of this tomb is quite unique. There are many branching passages, which looks like a maze. In fact, to sum up, there are only two tomb passages. In the end, they merged together. We moved separately, two paths.

After walking around, according to Brother Yaozi and Lao Bai, there is nothing special about the other tomb passage.

Here's the weird thing.

On the whole, this is a stacked tomb building. There should be four tombs of earth, fire, water and wind at the top. Where the power is strongest, there must be a secret passage leading down. However, there is nothing unique about the place we have walked through so far.

, even we are still not sure which tomb in Earth, Fire, Water and Wind this is!

This is so unreasonable.

There is only one possibility at the moment - there are parts of this tomb that have not been excavated by us, and that is the top priority. The road we are looking for should be in that place!

Digging a tomb is not a simple matter. It does not mean that you just dig a hole in the ground and bury a thin-skinned coffin with the dead person in it. It is considered a tomb. There are some things to pay attention to here. At least you cannot turn your back to Yin and Yang, and you cannot break away from the Five Elements.

Tsunade, otherwise it will not survive underground forever. Many so-called tombs will collapse over time, leaving no trace of what was buried by time. This is all due to the unreasonable design of the tombs.

These things sound mysterious, but all etiquette officials are very particular about this.

I believe that even if the last heavenly official wants to bury demons, he must follow the minimum professional ethics, right?

This place must be a tomb first, otherwise if it collapses, everything you bury will be in vain, and everyone will have to run away!

It’s a tomb, it has evidence to follow!!

Following this train of thought, I forced myself to calm down, closed my eyes and reviewed the overall structure of the tomb, and soon a smile appeared on my face.

"It's interesting to bury dead people!"

I was talking to myself.

In some large tombs, the dead must be buried according to their rank. The owner of the tomb must be in the innermost part. The outermost part is usually a burial pit or something like that, where some insignificant characters are buried, and then there are craftsmen, concubines, and generals.

, cronies, etc., don’t question it. In the eyes of ancient dignitaries, concubines are really not as important as their generals. In short, the closer you are to the owner of the tomb, the closer you will be to the owner of the tomb during your lifetime!

Judging from the current condition of this tomb, this should be regarded as a military tomb.

The so-called military graves are similar to the martyrs' gardens we talk about in modern times. In ancient times, once a large-scale war broke out, the fallen soldiers were often buried together. They were robes in life and brothers in the next life. One tomb contained an army.

Of course, the burials in the current tomb are not the war dead, but a troop buried alive by the last heavenly official. But I think the specifications should be similar to the military tomb. The outermost periphery is the soldiers, that is, those mercury armors.

A little further inside, there are some grassroots officers, those corpse soldiers wearing paper armor. I roughly estimated the range. Whether it is those mercury armors or corpse soldiers, the burial places are almost in a straight line, so...further inside are

Who? No need to say more, right?

It must be the commander-in-chief of this army, or a high-ranking general.

"The tomb is right in front of us!"

I pointed to the end of the corridor and said with certainty: "There is definitely a tomb ahead!"

Even a layman like Zhang Xinya would sneer at this inference. There was a layer of soil in front of him, and there were traces of excavation on it. It was obvious that he could no longer dig at this point.

They had already checked that place and found nothing.

"Jingzhe, you may have really seen it wrong this time."

Brother Yaozi let Zhang Xinya help him stand up, grabbed a handful of soil at the end of the corridor, and said with a smile: "Look at the soil, it is very light in color and not fertile enough. It is obviously raw soil. We have also dug forward. Take a look.

The hole was dug almost a foot long, and it was all filled with raw soil!"

I understand what Brother Yaozi means. The so-called raw soil refers to the native soil that has not been disturbed by humans, also called dead soil. Mature soil refers to soil that has been developed by humans and has a high degree of maturity. In fact, this definition may not be accurate.

Based on whether humans have touched it or not, some places have dense vegetation and high soil fertility. Even without human activity, the soil maturity is very good.

For example, in Luliang Mountain, the soil fertility itself is good. The surface layer is mature soil and the bottom layer is raw soil.

When digging a tomb, a large amount of soil was dug out first. After the tomb was built, it was then backfilled. By this time, the raw soil and the mature soil had already been mixed together. Over time, one layer after another became layer by layer.

The color is alternating between dark and light, just like the alternating between fat and thin pork belly, it is called Wuhua soil.

Nowadays, when looking for a tomb, many local masters first check the Feng Shui and move the earth. Once they see the five-flower earth, they will basically make a fortune. The five-flower earth is the most important sign to determine whether there is a tomb underneath.

And now it's all raw soil, which means no one has touched it at all. How could the tomb be in front?

It’s just that I don’t believe in this at all, and I used a very preachy tone to educate Brother Kite: “You can’t be dogmatic in academics, you have to have innovative ideas, and the same is true for tomb robbing. You have to look at the situation, and you can’t just copy it mechanically.

! We first have to understand why Wuhuatu appears. To put it bluntly, Wuhuatu can only be formed when the soil is dug out from the land. But what kind of tomb is this? This is called a stacked tomb.

They are built layer by layer and go deep into the ground. Except for the top layer of tombs, it is impossible for other tombs to come into contact with mature soil. There are no conditions for the occurrence of five-flower soil. How can you use five-flower soil to determine whether it is five-flower soil?

Is there a tomb?"

Brother Yaozi opened his mouth, but he really couldn't think of anything to say in reply. Finally, he glared at me fiercely. It seemed that he was extremely dissatisfied with my attitude of not needing a beating. If he hadn't been injured, he would probably have rushed to the sea.

Give me a slap.

I was so happy that I dug out the folding engineer shovel from the backpack next to Brother Yaozi and started working. After a hard fight, I escaped. Brother Yaozi’s things were not lost, but they were just tools and no food or drink.

.

The current predicament is destined to be resolved quickly. If time goes by, we may really die here.

As the saying goes, an expert will know if there is anything as soon as he takes action. Although I am not an expert, and strictly speaking, this is my first time going down to the tomb, but after a few shovels, I am basically convinced that there is definitely a tomb ahead.

Because there is a problem with the hardness of the soil!!

Normal soil is definitely not this hard. Although the last heavenly official has tried his best to hide this tomb, the soil layer must be real, right? No matter how good the craftsman is, it is impossible to restore the state of natural soil 100%. In this world

Everything can be copied, but things formed by nature cannot be copied!

Moreover, in order to ensure that the rammed earth of these tomb walls is strong enough, the surface layer of rammed earth can be disguised, but the rammed earth inside must be strong, otherwise the rammed earth will fall off on its own over time, so the pictures taken inside are particularly tight and round.
