Chapter 313: Never-ending footsteps(2/2)
"Cheng Hao, what did you find?"
Turning back, Cheng Hao walked slowly to Liu Wei and said, "I am using the compass to determine the specific direction. Its pointer is now facing straight ahead, and it has not changed!"
"Maybe there should be something here?"
Looking at the inconspicuous hill in front of them, everyone focused their attention here. What the four of them had to do next was to climb the hill and explore the unknown secrets.
At any time, everyone hopes to find the tomb of the Chu State. But it is buried deep underground, and it is not that easy to find it. Even if they find it, it is not that easy for them to enter. There is swamp poisonous gas inside.
, it is even more dangerous.
"Up the mountain!"
Liu Wei said these two words and continued walking towards the hill.
Although this hill is not very high, it is very steep. There are thorns and flowers on the steep slopes, making it difficult to travel here. It is not because the road is not easy to walk that Liu Wei and the four of them stopped walking. As tomb robbers,
I am interested in exploration, and I am not afraid even if there are any ferocious beasts like jackals, tigers, and leopards in the mountains.
Because the road ahead was blocked by these thorns, flowers and bushes, Liu Wei, who was walking at the front, took out his commonly used short knife from behind and cut off the thorns, flowers and bushes in front of him to make it easier for him to continue moving forward. The road was full of people.
Coming out, Liu Wei did this to make it easier for people behind him to walk.
When walking on this steep hillside, you should not only pay attention to the thorns and flowers under your feet, but also pay attention to whether there is any movement around you? In this kind of place, mountain beasts are most likely to appear.
As he was walking slowly, Liu Wei didn't notice his feet. He didn't know what he stepped on, but he suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.
"ah!"
Seeing Liu Wei tripping and falling to the ground, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Cheng Hao quickly stepped forward to help Liu Wei up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine!" Liu Wei slowly stood up and looked down, only to see a stone tablet under his feet.
Seeing this stone tablet, Liu Wei couldn't help frowning and was stunned. "What is this?" He squatted down and used the short knife in his hand to cut off the thorns, flowers and grass next to the stone tablet. After a closer look, he discovered this
It turned out to be a tombstone with a few small words written on it.
Liu Wei accidentally discovered this tombstone, and Liu Wei had a question in his mind, "Who is this? Has a tomb been built here?"
It was quite unlucky for the four people in Baichi to stumble upon this barren grave. Who knows what will happen next? In such a wild mountain, it is very common to encounter such a barren grave.
Because some people will bury this kind of grave in this kind of place.
If you keep walking like this, you won't be able to finish it for a while. Hiking up the hill, the next thing Baichi and the four of them have to do is to detect the terrain here. Cheng Hao will use the Luoyang shovel and insert it into the ground to see what's inside.
What?
Standing on the top of the hill, looking into the distance, you can see a large area of farmland. The field of vision here is broad, and you can have a panoramic view of everything in the distance.
"This must be a geomantic treasure land!" Cheng Hao fiddled with the compass in his hand and circled around Bai Chi, Liu Wei, and Bai Ping.
As he walked around, the pointer in the compass was also rotating. According to Cheng Hao's inference, he could determine the situation in the southeast, northwest and northwest based on the direction pointed on the compass.
Stopping, Cheng Hao pointed to the land under his feet and said, "There should be something here. Dig it down with the Luoyang shovel! Let's see what's there at a depth of one foot."
After listening to Cheng Hao's words, Bai Ping took out the Luoyang shovel and inserted it into the soil underground. Because the soil on the ground was too hard, it was impossible to dig it to the bottom at once.
The length of Luoyang shovel is limited, usually less than one foot. Professional tomb robbers know that there will be thick sealing soil on the surface of the tomb. Including the sealing soil, its overall depth should reach about two to three feet.
between.
What will you find when you insert a Luoyang shovel into the soil? Bai Ping used brute force to shovel the shovel into the soil, wait for it to penetrate to a certain depth, and then slowly take it out.
When the Luoyang shovel was taken out, what the four people saw was that there was only a layer of light yellow soil on the surface. Logically speaking, this kind of soil cannot prove anything. If more than two kinds of soil appear at the same time, then
It means something is wrong.
Seeing the color of the soil on Luoyang's shovel, Cheng Hao made a judgment, shook his head repeatedly and said: "It seems that my inference is wrong, there is nothing here at all! How about we change places! Maybe there is nothing in this place
What a tomb!"
Although nothing was found here, Liu Wei and the others did not leave here. There are so many hills in the Jishan area, and they are all similar. Who can find the tombs of Chu State buried under this hill?
All this made the four of them suspicious. The harder it is to find the tomb, the more they have to keep looking. It is not easy to steal a tomb, and it is even more difficult to steal the treasures in the tomb, let alone Bai Chi and Bai Chi.
Ping is here to find someone.
Looking at the hills in the entire Jishan area, the Chu State tomb may be under one of the hills. There are many hills here. If they continue to search like this, Liu Wei and the others will have to search for ten and a half months, or even longer.
