Guangtou Wei brought a total of three people with him on this trip. The machine operator's surname was Feng, and the Taoist people called him "Feng Guishou". He had a pair of superb machine hands; the other one was very skilled and was good at using a steel knife.

This steel knife is said to be an ancient artifact used to ward off evil spirits. It is very handy whether it is used to chop people or chop rice dumplings. Its owner is a handsome and neat man named Lu Su. It is said that his ancestor was also a folk anti-Japanese hero, and his unique steel knife skills were passed down from his ancestors.

, I used that steel knife to kill many Japanese. It was passed down to this generation, and for some reason I started digging mushrooms.

The third man is called Luo Luo Ren. He has no special abilities, but he is very sensitive and resourceful. With his intelligence, he has been on the road for more than ten years and is very famous.

At that time, Bald Wei received news that this operation was being targeted by a group of spies. The original plan was to take Doufu and me with him, but later the four of us had to set off temporarily, which would have prevented our cell phones from being monitored, so even our cell phones were stolen afterwards.

It's no use.

Several people dressed up and changed their faces. Guangtou Wei led the three of them to Fengzui Village based on the information contained in the Ghost King's Yulong Cup. Needless to say, the hardships along the way were undeniable.

The three of them arrived at Fengzui Village during the day. It was an ancient village that had long been dilapidated and there were not even a few decent houses left. It was better described as a ruin than a village.

Naturally, these four people don’t know what it means to find the exact location of the tomb, so if they want to find the exact location of the tomb, they have to explore with a shovel. Of course, the top of the mountain is so big, it’s not a blind search, otherwise they will have to dig holes and shovel everywhere.

Year of the Monkey and Moon of the Horse?

When looking for a tomb with a shovel, it is not about digging holes here and there to try your luck, but to judge the general location of the shovel based on the burial customs of past dynasties.

Since the Han Dynasty, there has been a burial custom of burying people on mountains but not on top, and on slopes but not ridges, which is still used even today.

China's burial customs are so complex and extensive that they cannot be described in one sentence, but in summary, there is a set of rules. These rules have been summarized by tomb robbers for thousands of years and formed an iron-clad law.

There is a saying in the industry: look for it on the top of the mountain during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and fish it from the mountains for the imperial mausoleums of the Qin and Han Dynasties; for the Eastern Han Dynasty, you can find it on the mountainside from north to south, and for the Sui and Tang Dynasty, you will sleep on the slope of Zongzi.

This formula is widely circulated, and its meaning is very clear: tombs in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods are buried high on the mountain tops, while those in the Qin and Han Dynasties were buried in the mountains, and they paid attention to opening mountains as tombs. Most of the tombs in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Wei and Jin Dynasties were buried on the mountainside; in the Sui and Tang Dynasties,

By the Song Dynasty, they were generally located below the mountainside slopes.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the forms of burials were more widespread, and the specific locations were not so rigid. They were buried whenever they found a good hole, but generally speaking, the principle of "burying on the mountain, not on the top" was still followed.

These few formulas that tomb robbers have summarized over thousands of years were introduced to the archaeological team immediately after the first "recruitment" and were widely used. They were tried and tested, and the tomb robbers were all gnashing their teeth in anger.

It was daytime when the four of them arrived at Fengzui Village. When robbing tombs and digging for mushrooms, they usually worked at night to avoid people. But in the deep mountains, there were no people around, so there was no need to be taboo, so the group immediately started looking for the tombs.

Following the burial custom of not burying on the top of a mountain, but not on a hillside, several people locked the location of the princess's tomb below the foot of the mountain.

In the Ghost King Yulong Cup, Wei Guangtou got a piece of information, that is, there is a divine spring in front of the tomb, which means there is a water eye or lake. According to these two standards, he then went down to explore the location of the tomb.

It should be easy to find out.

A few people packed up their food and went down the mountain with their tools, looking for a place with water holes, and soon discovered a lake.

The lake is not big, and is surrounded by reeds. The water is misty, and the sounds of water birds can be vaguely heard. It is like a fairyland.

Wei Guangtou has a lot of experience. He combined the location of the lake, then measured the height and mountain topography, and estimated two locations, and asked everyone to dig the "Plum Blossom Cave" at these two locations.

There are five holes in the Plum Blossom Cave in a group, which are used to detect the location of the tomb. Wei Guangtou and others spent an afternoon digging the Plum Blossom Cave. They explored both locations thoroughly and drilled hundreds of holes. Wei Guangtou squatted down.

, put the soil brought out by the exploration shovel one by one in front of your eyes and look at it.

Guangtou Wei was good at looking at Tu Bian Cave. Unfortunately, he kept frowning after watching it all afternoon. It was not until nightfall when both places were filled with caves that Guangtou Wei sighed: "There are no places in these two places.

It seems that our estimate was wrong. It is already late now. Let’s go back to the village and spend the night before continuing tomorrow.”

Although they fell short of the effort in an afternoon, they were not too disappointed. After all, the general location had been determined. The rest of the tomb exploration required patience. In the tomb robbing industry, you not only have to be skilled and courageous, but you also have to be able to endure hardships.

Live in loneliness.

Several people carried their tools back to Fengzui Village. After entering the village, they lit a bonfire and slept. For safety reasons and to prevent any snakes, insects and beasts from entering the mountains, several people took turns to arrange a vigil.

The first person on duty at night was Lu Su.

This man has a slender body and strong muscles. He always smiles and looks gentle and elegant. The steel knife behind his back is extremely powerful. He is sitting in front of the campfire with the steel knife inserted beside him. He folds his hands on his chest and closes his eyes to meditate.

The night was dark, and it was time to change shifts in a blink of an eye. Feng Guishou was on the second shift. He was woken up by Lu Su, yawning and getting up to keep watch. At this time, he had just woken up, his sleepiness had not faded, his eyes were hazy, and suddenly,

I saw a few sneaky figures appearing at the end of the village.

In fact, in this village, only the remaining stone foundations have long been left. What is left are a few crooked and half-broken wooden houses. The rest of the village is empty and occupied by trees and various plants, and the sight is very limited.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly saw several figures. Feng Guishou suddenly woke up from his sleepiness. But he was a vigilant person, so he thought that the police officer was catching up with him? If that was the case, he couldn't deal with it alone, so he woke him up immediately.

Wei Guangtou and others.

Among all the people, only Bald Wei carried a pistol. Tomb robbers generally do not bring thermal weapons, because most of the dangers you encounter when going to a tomb are snakes, insects, rats, ants, or rice dumplings, no matter what they are.

, guns can't deal with them, so when digging mushrooms, they tend to use cold weapons, such as Lu Su's steel knife.

The pistol carried by Bald Wei was probably used to guard against the police. After they woke up, Feng Guishou motioned them to look toward the end of the village. They immediately saw the sneaky figures, and their sleepiness disappeared.

The four of them were all veterans, and no one said anything. Bald Wei made a gesture, then took a circuitous route and quietly approached the figures.

In the darkness, those figures seemed to have discovered the purpose of the four bald Wei people, and they immediately turned around and walked down the mountain. The four people hurriedly chased after them. In the darkness, only the figures in the darkness ahead were seen, their figures were blurry, male and female.

I couldn't tell. Several people were chasing after each other fiercely. The clever Luo Ren suddenly waved his hand and said: "No, those people in front have neither torches nor flashlights in their hands. How do they see the road? How do they see the road?"

Running all the way in the dark? Even we can't catch up?"

When Luo Luo Ren said this, the other three people reacted suddenly and broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, we were using flashlights, but it was difficult to walk in the dark. The figures in front of us had no light source at all. How did they identify the path? Could it be that they were not human beings at all?

This idea suddenly appeared in the minds of the four of them, and at this moment, the vague figure in front of them stopped abruptly, as if they were waiting for Bald Wei and his group to catch up.

Now that things have happened, who still dares to pursue him?

These people are all veterans of digging for mushrooms. They are naturally very courageous, but they are not reckless people. They know that there is a problem, so naturally they cannot catch up at this time. For a moment, in the darkness, two groups of people came together.

Come down.

Is the one in front a human or a ghost?

Guangtou Wei was the 'investor' this time, and the leader of the team would naturally not sit still and wait for death. He was silent for a moment, raised his pistol, and fired three shots in the darkness ahead. Although it was difficult to aim in the dark, the front

Several people are very close to each other. With this chance, even a blind cat could encounter a dead mouse.

Unexpectedly, after three shots, the figures in front remained unmoved, as if the bullets had not hit them at all, but this was simply impossible!

Bald Wei was also well-informed and thought: Could it be that the thing in front of him is really not a human being?

He couldn't help but turn his head and said to Lu Su: "Master Lu, it's your turn." The steel knife in Lu Su's hand was passed down from his ancestors. Over the past hundreds of years, no one knows how many people's blood has been stained on the knife. It is definitely...
