Not to mention, this big iron pot is really not easy to carry. If a person wants to lift it, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort.
The two of us lifted the iron pot to the ground and put it down gently, and then cleaned out all the firewood in the stove. When we looked inside, we found that the stove was actually clean, with not even a trace of dust, and at the bottom of the earth stove
, placed a round wooden board.
Wen Qingshan bent down and took out the wooden board from the stove. A dark hole almost as big as the diameter of the stove mouth appeared in front of us.
"Holy crap! Boss Wen really got it right. There really is a hole in it!" I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Wen Qingshan didn't say anything. He quickly took out a strong flashlight from his backpack, opened it and looked into the hole. However, because the black hole was not vertically downward, it could not shine to the end, and he did not know how deep it was.
He pondered for a moment, then turned to me and said, "Shi Yu, go and call your uncle and the others up, and tell us that we have discovered something."
"Hey! I'm going right away!" I ran out of the house quickly.
Huang Yixian and others were still looking for the entrance to the treasure place. Seeing me running down in a hurry, Huang Yixian asked: "What's going on up there? Why did you two go there for so long?"
I gasped and said, "It's been...discovered!"
"What did you find?" Huang Yixian was puzzled.
"The entrance to the treasure trove was discovered!"
"What!? You mean, where is the entrance?" Huang Yixian was shocked, because according to our previous judgment, the entrance should be at the foot of the mountain bag, but we did not expect that Wen Qingshan and I would find the entrance on the mountain bag.
I nodded and said, "Yes! Not only above, but also in the earthen stove in the kitchen of that house!"
"Really! Then go up and have a look!" Huang Yixian couldn't wait to rush up, and the others followed closely behind.
I led everyone directly into the kitchen. Wen Qingshan was busy cleaning the earthen stove. Everyone gathered around. Huang Yixian looked into the black hole in the earthen stove and said with some surprise: "How did you two discover this hole?"
?”
Wen Qingshan said: "This hole should have been dug by Mr. Hao himself. There are a bunch of broken hoes and electric Luoyang shovels in the utility room next to it. I think they are the tools left behind to dig this hole."
.”
"The earth hole he dug himself?" Huang Yixian was slightly startled, then turned to me and asked: "Then why do you say it is the entrance to the treasure place?"
I didn't know how to answer for a moment, so I had to look at Wen Qingshan, who smiled and said, "Although Mr. Hao dug the hole himself, think about it, why did he dig such a hole in the earthen stove?"
"Why?" Huang Yixian asked.
"I think he may have accidentally discovered that the entrance to the treasure place is located near the top of this mountain, so he used an electric Luoyang shovel to explore it. After determining the location, he tried to dig down, and finally found the place where the treasure was hidden.
land!"
"Electric Luoyang shovel?" Huang Yixian was a little surprised, "Now even Luoyang shovel has an electric one?"
Wen Qingshan pointed to the utility room next to him: "It's in that room! If it hadn't been for that thing, he wouldn't have been able to find the place where the treasure was hidden."
"What!? You said Mr. Hao has found the treasure!?"
Wen Qingshan nodded.
Huang Yixian hurriedly asked: "How did you know that he would definitely be found?"
Wen Qingshan handed Huang Yixian the piece of waste paper with a topographic map that we just found in the bedroom and said, "Look at this?"
Huang Yixian held the piece of paper and studied it for a long time, but did not understand it clearly. Seabeard on the side did see some clues, and he said: "Could this be a map?"
"That's right!" Wen Qingshan narrated the analysis we just made. After everyone listened, everyone was shocked. Huang Yixian said worriedly: "If these guys have really found the place where the treasure is hidden,
With only a mere stone door left, can it still stop them? At worst, we can just blow the door open with explosives."
Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said: "It is very dangerous to carry out blasting deep underground. If it is not done well, not only will the stone door not be blown open, but the entire cave may collapse. So they should not do it rashly. I guess,
Although they found the place where the treasure was hidden, they were not able to enter it because the key fell into our hands."
"Key? What key?" Huang Yixian looked confused.
Wen Qingshan took out the triangular-shaped stone, waved it in front of Huang Yixian, and said, "Master Huang, do you still remember this thing?"
Huang Yixian took a look: "Isn't this the stone found in King Chuang's coffin? Wait! Don't tell me that this thing is the key to the treasure door?"
"Based on various clues, it's very possible! However, this is just my personal analysis after all. Whether the treasure is down here, and whether this thing is the key to opening the stone door, we still have to go down and take a look to find out!" Wen Qingshan
With that said, Fatty Niu took out a large bundle of climbing ropes from his backpack. He tied one end of the rope to the window frame next to the earthen stove and threw the other end into the earthen hole.
He turned around and said to everyone: "I'll go down and take a look first. You guys wait above." After saying that, he put the miner's lamp hat on his head, grabbed the rope with one hand, and carefully drilled into the hole.
The earthen hole did not go down vertically, but extended deep into the ground at a certain oblique angle. After a while, Wen Qingshan could no longer be seen due to the angle problem, but the light from the miner's lamp above his head shone brightly.
It was still shaking, but it was getting darker as he went deeper.
A few minutes later, Wen Qingshan's voice came from the cave: "Come down, everyone! We seem to have found the right place!"
When everyone heard this, they were all a little excited and immediately put their miner's lamp hats on their heads. Seabeard was the first to get into the hole, followed closely by Jianjian. Huang Yixian was about to go in, but suddenly thought of something and turned around to look.
He glanced at Fatty Niu and said, "Junior, if you get into this hole with your figure, I'm afraid you'll get stuck. You'd better stay outside and guard."
Fatty Niu was just asking for it, so he nodded immediately.
Huang Yixian and I also got into the hole one after the other and slid down slowly along the rope.
There is a fresh earthy smell exuding from the earth cave. It seems that as Wen Qingshan said, this is indeed a newly excavated cave. The diameter of the cave is quite narrow, only about fifty or sixty centimeters. If Niu Fatty
If you come down, you might really get stuck. Even I feel that my body is almost pressed against the cave wall. It is really hard to imagine how Mr. Hao dug such a hole.
Maybe the space was too narrow. I felt like I was about to suffocate. I didn’t know how long I crawled until the surrounding area finally became spacious. My toes quickly touched the ground. After I stood firm, I looked around.
Taking a look, I found that I was in an artificial corridor about three meters wide. The walls on both sides of the corridor were made of bluestone bricks, and the floor was paved with square floor tiles about one foot long and wide. There were two sides of the corridor.
Duanjun couldn't see the end. He didn't know which direction to go.
Huang Yixian said with some excitement: "I didn't expect it to be so big down here. It seems that we have indeed found the right place!"
Jianjian looked up at the earthen hole we came down from and sighed: "This hole must be twenty or thirty meters deep. How did Mr. Hao dig it out? And it connected to this corridor so accurately."
road."
Wen Qingshan said: "He must have used the method of Captain Mojin to use a Luoyang shovel to explore the tomb. This treasure hiding place is actually similar to the tomb, but it is deeper underground. If he already knew the entrance to the treasure hiding place
It is near the top of this mountain, and it is easy to determine the specific location of the corridor with a Luoyang shovel."
"This Luoyang shovel is so amazing!"
"Of course, this Luoyang shovel is one of the most important inventions in archaeology. There are many..." Before Huang Yixian could finish his sentence, a muffled sound of "bang" suddenly came from the corridor, although the sound was not loud.
, but it still shocked everyone.
"What's the sound!?" Haibeard quickly took out the signal gun from his backpack. Wen Qingshan also immediately took out the Broken Dragon Slash, holding the handle of the knife, ready to draw the knife out of the sheath at any time, while I quietly grabbed the fish around my waist.
Intestinal sword.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no more sound.
Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "Let's go! Let's go over and take a look!"
Under his leadership, the group of people walked carefully along the corridor in the direction from which the sound came.
The corridor stretched forward in twists and turns, just like what was drawn on the drawing. I held my breath and listened carefully, but except for the footsteps of a few of us, I heard almost no other sounds, and I didn’t know.
What happened to that noise just now?
I was wondering in my heart when Wen Qingshan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped. He raised his hand to signal us all to stop.
Huang Yixian asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Wen Qingshan looked down at his feet and said, "I stepped on something."
Everyone looked at his feet and saw that his feet were stepping on two different stone bricks one after the other, but they didn't see him stepping on anything.
Huang Yixian said in confusion: "You didn't step on anything!"
Wen Qingshan pointed to his left foot and said: "This floor tile can be moved, I'm afraid it is a mechanism!"
"What!?" Huang Yixian hurriedly said to everyone: "Go back quickly!"
I didn't know what the so-called agency meant, but I knew it was definitely not a good thing, so I didn't dare to hesitate at all, so I quickly took a few steps back.
Wen Qingshan stabilized his body and carefully raised his left leg. Fortunately, nothing happened. It seemed that although he stepped on the movable floor tile just now, it did not trigger the mechanism.
