Chapter 688 Natural Crack

When I said those words, it was probably no different than throwing a bomb into the crowd. It was deafening, and soon there was only dead silence.

The people in front of them looked at each other in confusion for a while. Zhang Xinya was the first to recover and murmured: "There is no robbery hole, so how did those people under Tieguai Li get in? Have they never entered that hole before?"

A tomb? This is not right. The bones of the victim who haunted the Ling Ying family have been stolen. There is no doubt that someone went in..."

As she spoke, a fierce light appeared in her eyes, and she looked at me fiercely: "Er Gouzi, you'd better explain this matter to me clearly."

"This... where should I start?"

I scratched my head, and felt a little confused for a moment. There were countless clues, information, and even various researches, my guesses, etc. Many pieces of information gathered in my head, and finally I came up with this idea.

The conclusion, if you want to express it clearly in words, is not a matter of one or two sentences, so I didn’t rush to speak at all. Instead, I took out something wrapped in plastic paper from my backpack and threw it to Brother Yaozi.

"This is something I found after digging in the river all day today. There should have been a lot of them before, but now they've all washed away, so I just found this piece."

"..."

Brother Yao Zi opened the plastic paper doubtfully.

Inside is a fist-sized, dusty stone-like object. At first glance, it looks like a piece of limestone. But if you rub it carefully and observe, you will find that there are some carving marks on it.

"Tomb-carved bricks! Hey, although only a corner of the pattern is left, you can see that the pattern is very complicated and not a simple decoration. This is a piece from the Song Dynasty!"

Brother Yaozi knew the answer at a glance, sniffed and cursed: "Damn it, this tomb collapsed!!"

I nodded: "Yes, that's exactly the reason!"

Tomb carving bricks are actually brick carvings!!

Bricks appeared very early in China. They were already an important building material for the palace at that time. Brick carvings had already begun in the Qin Dynasty, but at that time they were all made with negative molds, with at most some decorations on them.

It's easy to identify. During the Han Dynasty, the brick carvings at that time had some geometric figures and characters on them, which were also very prominent and easy to identify. When they were used in tombs, they were just portrait bricks.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, this aspect was far inferior to that of previous generations.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that brick tombs began to appear on a large scale, and the brick carving technology in the tombs also underwent rapid changes. The brick carvings of that period were no longer molded as before, but were carved directly on the bricks into reliefs or patterns.

Semi-circular sculptures express many things, which are no less impressive than murals, and are easier to preserve than murals.

It wasn't difficult for Brother Yaozi to make these inferences just by looking at them.

These brick carvings are inlaid around the brick walls of the tomb, and they are different from some funerary objects. It is normal for some funerary objects to be washed out, but if all these bricks come out, then the tomb will most likely collapse!

I saw a few people looking thoughtful, so I hurriedly said: "To explain this matter, I'm afraid we have to start from the first time we entered the mountain. At that time, I raised two questions. One was about Liu Yun's tomb.

Since they were not buried according to Feng Shui and we couldn't find it, why can Tieguai Li's people find it? I don't boast at all in this regard. Even a few of us can't do anything about it. I'm afraid there are people in the world who are more cruel than us.

There aren't many, so why should they? Needless to say, this question already has an answer. They were lucky enough to meet Shen Nan.

The second problem is that digging holes is a strenuous job. If you are robbing the tombs of ordinary people, it will not be a problem if you dig them all in one night. But Liu Yuan is still an emperor no matter how bad he is, and drilling a hole in his tomb is not a problem.

Cave, this is a very complicated matter, and it takes time! If this is a deep mountain and old forest, no one passes by, so forget it. However, this place is popular. Outside is Shen Laowu's pig farm, and there are three surrounding counties.

People often go to the mountains for picnics, and spend their time drilling holes for an emperor's tomb in such a place. How brave are they? However, they actually did it, and no one around them noticed. Isn't this abnormal?

?With all due respect, after getting to know a lot about each other one after another, I have long suspected that these people entered the tomb at an extremely fast speed without any delay at all. This is how they can be so concealed!

Based on this problem, when we were recuperating in Shen Laowu, I read a lot about geography and hydrology.

There is such a thing recorded above. This happened before liberation. It should be around the 30th year of the Republic of China. There was an earthquake here in Renhua.

The earthquake did not affect the people in the city. It mainly happened in the mountains. There was an interesting thing at that time. After the earthquake, the people at the foot of the mountain saw with their own eyes that the stream in front of their door stopped flowing for a moment. The stream stopped flowing.

, it’s exactly the one in front of us.

Another point is that some geological surveys were done here after liberation. There is a rocky mountain upstream of Shuijiankou, where the river is wide, and the water flow forms a waterfall there..."

I spoke intermittently.

Lao Bai felt dizzy after hearing this and quickly interrupted me: "Just tell me your results, I can't stand it anymore!!"

"I've said it before, the information here is bits and pieces, it's very confusing..."

I shrugged, no longer thinking about these clues in my mind, and said calmly: "Liu Yu's tomb should be in that stone mountain. It is a very common method to hollow out the stone mountain and build a brick tomb inside.

Hard!

The earthquake that occurred around the 30th year of the Republic of China, the central area should be near Shishan. The tombs were collapsed in that earthquake. The result can be imagined. Shishan is dependent on water veins, and the water must flow into the tombs.

Yes, the stream suddenly stopped flowing!

The tomb walls we saw and even some of the porcelain buried with them should have been rushed out at that time.

As for the tomb opening opened by the earthquake, if nothing unexpected happened, it would be behind the waterfall at Shuijiankou.

Tieguai Li's men didn't dig any holes at all. They probably discovered the entrance to the tomb by accident and got in directly. Only in this way could their tomb robbing operation be so airtight!"

After I finished speaking, I didn't receive any praise. Instead, the looks around me became unfriendly.

"So, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhang Xinya had a dark look on her face: "Why don't you send a few of us out this morning and walk us to play?"

I secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. If this continued, I was afraid it would turn into a terrible group fight, so I quickly said: "This is just a guess, and it is a very bold guess. Before this thing is confirmed, it is

It’s just an illusory thing!! Yes, I thought about searching along the river early in the morning. Only some porcelain rushed out can’t prove anything. It must be confirmed that the main load-bearing structure of the tomb was washed out to confirm that the tomb must have collapsed.

, there is a hole enough for people to get in, but this job can be done by one person. Instead of a lot of you following me here and wasting your time, you might as well go around and look for it, right? Of course I found it.

Okay, it proves that my guess is wrong. If I can’t find it, it will also help me confirm the reliability of my guess! With all due respect, we have really been delayed for a long time, and Ling Ying’s father is still suffering.

It's a living sin. If you don't find the sufferer earlier, who knows what the other party will do. You can only save time!

As for not telling you, I can’t tell you. If I did, Lao Bai would definitely not go out and search for it seriously, and his attention would be focused on this river!"

Lao Bai's face fell...

However, the murderous aura around him has been reduced a lot.

I escaped the disaster and didn't dare to talk anymore. I ate something in a hurry and went to rest.

At dawn the next day, we set off again, and this time we moved very quickly. At dawn, we had already seen the waterfall mentioned in geography and hydrology. It was really a rocky mountain that was not too high, covered with moss.

, the white water flow rumbled down from above.

"This is the last step to learn scriptures from the West..."

Lao Bai sniffed and couldn't help but sigh: "We have experienced a lot of things in the past. It's rare that we have been in such a difficult situation as this time. This old boy Liu Yuan has given us a difficult time!"

This time I didn’t take off my shoes, and went directly to the bottom of the waterfall. I tried my best to keep myself close to the cold stone wall behind, but it was inevitable that some of the water would wash over me. The waterfall was not high, so it was still rushing.

Human flesh aches.

My whole body felt like a drowned rat. I kept rubbing my hands on the stone wall, and soon I felt a crack. I immediately covered my forehead with my arm to prevent the splashing water mist from covering my eyes, and lowered my head to look down.

A triangular gap that can only accommodate one person standing sideways is suddenly on the stone wall. It is a naturally formed crack, which can also be understood as a naturally formed passage!!
