As Wei Rong said, this is a pretty terrible job.

Although the approximate direction can be determined based on the damage to the ground veins, it is impossible to determine how far it is.

If it's only a few hundred meters, that's okay, but if it spreads for several miles, or even more than ten miles... then it's really disgusting, fucking opening the door to disgusting people, it's so disgusting!

Therefore, when this decision was made, Brother Yaozi and the others all turned pale. They immediately looked at the nine witches carrying coffins beside the Witch King, and then looked at the four witches squatting next to them like gods.

The four brothers Zushou, Zuchang, and their faces were as golden as paper for a moment, and they looked as if they were about to pass away at any moment. Zu Chong obviously didn't understand what was going on, and he was picking up the grass on his shoes with his hands as big as cattail leaf fans.

He raised his head and grinned innocently at Brother Yaozi. For a moment, Brother Yaozi felt that the world was spinning and he almost couldn't hold on...

For these few people, the caves excavated cannot be small, otherwise there will be no room for people to fit in, which invisibly adds a lot of workload.

Finally, Brother Yaozi looked at Xiaozhi who was following me quietly like a doll, sighed softly, took out the engineering shovel, and started digging in the direction I pointed.

The advantage of having a large number of people is particularly highlighted at this time. Even if my master and Chang Yao are as reserved and conscious as ever, they go to the side to rest. Now that there are two more fishermen like the Witch King and Yu Zhenzi, we still have enough.

The work was done manually, with two people working in teams, one digging and the other carrying the soil. As soon as their physical strength was exhausted, they would immediately be replaced by the next team. This rotation was extremely efficient.

This is indeed a group of tombs, and the density of tombs is outrageously high.

Brother Yaozi and Brother Shuisheng were the first to start digging. They only dug forward a few dozen meters and soon excavated a tomb.

It's just that this tomb is extremely simple, even simpler than Shen Yan's tomb. The tomb was not even repaired at all, just a coffin was buried under the soil. As time went by, this coffin has decayed.

There was also no one in the coffin.

Directly in front of the coffin head, that is, the area facing the dead person's head, the soil is loose.

Obviously, the person in the coffin also came back from the dead. He used his hands to dig a passage in the ground and climbed out. The situation was the same as Shen Yan's, except that the passage he dug with his hands was not like the robbery hole we dug.

, nothing particular about it, it quickly collapsed, and this is when the soil became loose.

Mixed among the decayed coffin fragments were some miscellaneous items, including copper coins, fragments of clothing, and a few pieces of scattered silver.

This should be a funerary object placed next to the dead person.

Judging from the characteristics of these things, the deceased in this coffin was also from the Tang Dynasty and was not far from Shen Yan's tomb. Therefore, the deceased in the coffin should have been a member of the Anxi Protectorate during his lifetime.

From this point of view, the characteristics of this tomb group are very clear.

In the Anxi Protectorate under the leadership of the Protector named Zhu, all the Protectorate officials, generals and military officers, down to the swordsmen and pen clerks, and army sergeants were all buried together, but their tombs were separated. Yes, people with a certain status during their lifetime might build a tomb, while those with a lower status during their lifetime would just buy a coffin and bury them. Everyone gathers together in a haphazard manner, as if there are no rules to follow.

This is normal. After all, they are all cannon fodder. The person behind the scenes just needs a group of scapegoats. The more people who take the scapegoat, the less likely it is that the cause and effect will affect him in the end. Anyway, as long as these people are buried in the place where he draws the scapegoat, Just around the place where he was angry, he didn't bother to care about anything else. He still had a lot to do in arranging this bureau. Of course, he didn't have time to plan cemeteries for people like the Anxi Protectorate. These people had to pay for the cemeteries themselves.

After all, Shen Yan was an official in the Anxi Protectorate and joined the military. According to the situation of the Tang Dynasty at that time, officials like them in the Anxi Protectorate were actually very rich. However, it was difficult for the wealth seized from the Western Regions to pass through the Yumen Pass. It may be necessary to distribute a large sum of profits to the wealthy families in Guanzhong, but generally speaking, there is no shortage of money. It is not difficult for Shen Yan to buy such a tomb for himself.

The dead person lying in this coffin probably had a relatively low status. Judging from the fragments of clothes left behind, this person should be a member of the civil servants, maybe just a petty official. No matter how big the fortune in the Western Regions, he It's not his turn, so when he dies, he can only get a coffin and bury him directly in it. It's normal.

Later, we dug up about ten tombs like this coffin one after another. The distance was very close, and we might find one within a few meters.

Without exception, all the people in these coffins disappeared.

Subsequently, we successively excavated several more tombs like Shen Yan's.

Tombs were dug one after another, which made us doubt whether we were alive. Two or three days passed like this.

After digging another tomb belonging to Captain Zhechong, we finally dug up a big guy.

This tomb is the highest standard among the tombs we have seen so far!

The tomb passages are complicated. The main tomb chamber is hidden in the deepest part. There are side chambers on both sides. In the side chambers, there are many coffins and coffins, all of which are family members who volunteered to be buried with them. Even before digging this tomb, we dug a sacrifice pit. In the sacrifice pit No one was dead anymore, but judging from the remaining fragments of clothing and other things, the people buried were basically barbarians from the Western Regions.

The owner of this tomb is none other than Li Zhen!!

To be honest, I had been mentally prepared for this, but after actually walking into the main tomb and seeing Li Zhen’s coffin and epitaph, I still felt extremely ridiculous...

Unfortunately, although the tomb was of high standard and Li Zhen was extremely important, we did not find any clues in his tomb. The epitaph only mentioned his identity, his achievements in his life, and the Shen Yan we met before. The epitaphs of these people are the same. They only mention the word "martyrdom for the country" and there is no mention of the identity of the person behind the scenes.

However, now that Li Zhen's tomb has been dug, it means that we have dug into the central area of ​​the tomb group.

At this time, the damage to the earth veins here has indeed begun to become more serious. In the earth veins, the flow of earth energy can no longer be felt, only a very weak trace of earth energy is swimming.

We knew that we were not far from the execution ground where the man drew earth energy, which shocked our spirits after being like rats underground for the past few days.

In such a critical area, people like Zu Shou and Zuchang, who are masters in spiritual practice but novices in burial, are no longer suitable to continue working. Brother Yaozi, Brother Shuisheng and I took over all the work.

Because it was Wushuang and I who dug into Li Zhen's tomb, we were both severely exhausted at this time, so Brother Yaozi and Brother Shuisheng took over the work.

As a result, the two of them only dug forward about ten meters when they suddenly heard Brother Yaozi's dull voice coming out of the robbery hole: "Jingzhe, I seem to have dug another tomb, this tomb...

Something’s not right!”
