A knife in love

Chapter 96

At this time, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, but it was Yu Changyuan who led a dozen Zhuang Ding down to the bottom of the cave.He held the torch in front of him, looked around, and whispered to Zhuang Hengyun, "Is the third one ready?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "It's ready. Just wait for the order from the eldest brother, and then send old thief Tang on the road."

Only then did Li Qiufeng and others realize that they had been here for a long time, and He Yi actually disappeared out of thin air and never showed up.Yu Changyuan said in a low voice: "Second brother, you lead the brothers into the tunnel and explore a certain way forward. Master Xu, Mr. Yan, and Brother Li and I stay here to see what happens to old thief Tang."

Zhuang Hengyun agreed, and immediately led all Zhuang Ding into the tunnel.Xu Yingyang said: "Master Yu, do you want to have a showdown with Tang He here?"

Yu Changyuan sneered and said, "This old thief is planning to seize this treasure. If he succeeds, he will definitely kill us. Naturally, we can't sit and wait for death. I have already asked the third brother to plant gunpowder here. When the old thief arrives, we will be killed." Ignite the gunpowder and take the old thief's dog's life. Once Tang He dies, the rest of Old Boxer Ma and his group won't be able to make any big waves."

Xu Yingyang heard him speak viciously, and said: "It's just that this place is so small, if there is an explosion, we may not be able to escape even if the tunnel collapses."

Yu Changyuan said: "Let's go into the tunnel first. After the youngest lead the gunpowder, we will flee to the end of the tunnel. If the tunnel collapses, it will just block the way of these guys, but it will not affect us. Master Xu no need to worry."

Li Qiufeng was quite confident when he heard what he said, and thought to himself: "Could it be that this old thief has been here? Otherwise, why does he seem to have a plan?"

At this moment, only the sound of chaotic footsteps came from above the stone steps, and then Tang He said: "Brother Yu, what's going on down here?"

Yu Changyuan waved his hands at everyone, then pointed in the direction of the tunnel.Li Qiufeng and others hurriedly walked into the tunnel.At this time, Zhuang Hengyun and Zhuang Ding had gone so far that he couldn't even see the light of the torch.At this moment, the ground suddenly bulged at the entrance of the tunnel, and then a person jumped out, it turned out to be He Yi.He wrapped his whole body with an oilcloth, so after jumping out, he shook the oilcloth, but there was no dirt on his body.

Seeing He Yi coming out of the ground, Yu Changyuan was not surprised, and whispered to He Yi, "Third brother, light the gunpowder."

With a promise, He Yi squatted down, pulled out a length of igniting powder from the soil, lit the powder with a torch, and then covered it with soil.

At this time, only the footsteps on the stone steps were getting closer, Tang He asked again on the stone steps: "Brother Yu, are you downstairs?"

When Yu Changyuan saw that the medicine thread was already on fire, he immediately waved to everyone, turned his head and said loudly to the stone steps: "Old Escort Tang, we have already descended to the bottom of the cave. Everything is normal, please come down."

After Yu Changyuan finished speaking, he pointed to the tunnel with his right hand, and He Yi and others rushed into the tunnel immediately, with Yu Changyuan following behind.Tang He laughed and said: "Brother Yu is quite fast, you wait for me below first, we will discuss after we go down."

Li Qiufeng ran forward for more than ten feet, and suddenly heard a loud "bang" behind him. For a moment, he only felt a strong force coming from behind him. He saw the opportunity and hurriedly lay down on the ground. He flew over him, and the sand and soil on the tunnel wall were so shaken that he buried half of his body in it.

At this time, Yu Changyuan shouted: "Everyone, don't stop, run forward!"

Li Qiufeng jumped up and rushed forward in a hurry, and ran more than ten zhang away, but saw Zhuang Hengyun leaning against the wall of the tunnel with all the Zhuang Ding. How's it going?"

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, Xu Yingyang and Yan Dufei had also arrived, and then Yu Changyuan and He Yi also came forward one after the other.He Yi laughed and said: "The entrance of the tunnel has collapsed, and the stone steps are probably not much better. Even if the old thief Tang is not killed by the bomb, he will be buried alive. I really want to see what this old guy looked like before he died. Haha, Ha ha."

Yu Changyuan said: "Let's not delay, it is serious to proceed carefully."

This time it was Zhuang Hengyun who led Zhuang Ding to the front, Yu Changyuan who led Xu Yingyang and others in the middle, and He Yi who walked last.Everyone walked forward for another hundred or so steps, Zhuang Hengyun suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Everyone stop, the front is impassable!"

Yu Changyuan rushed to the front with a few steps, only to see that the tunnel had come to an end, and two gates made of bluestone stood in front of everyone.The two gates are more than two feet high, and the surface is very rough, as if they have not been polished.Zhuang Hengyun said: "I'm afraid this door is worth ten thousand catties, how can we open it?"

He Yi stepped forward, pushed hard on the stone door a few times with both hands, then backed away a few steps, looked carefully for a moment, and said to Yu Changyuan: "Let's try to blow it up with gunpowder first?"

Yu Changyuan smiled and said, "I've been prepared for a long time, everyone, let's take a look at my methods."

I saw him calling several Zhuang Ding, saying: "Take out the things."

Those Zhuang Ding seemed to have been prepared, untied the rucksacks they were carrying, took out some iron rods of different lengths from them, and piled them all on the ground.Yu Changyuan squatted down and assembled these iron rods. In a short while, an iron rod with a length of more than ten feet and a strange shape appeared in his hand.The end of the iron rod is in the shape of a crutch, which looks indescribably weird.

Yu Changyuan waved the strange iron rod in his hand a few times, and after confirming that it was assembled very firmly, he walked to the stone gate and slowly inserted the iron rod in along the gap between the two stone gates.I saw him turning the iron rod repeatedly, as if he was trying to pull something.After half a stick of incense, Yu Changyuan said: "Okay, finally it's on target!"

Seeing his strange behavior, Li Qiufeng didn't know what he was up to.Yu Changyuan turned his head and said, "Several brothers, come and help!"

Six Zhuang Ding rushed forward, Yu Changyuan said: "Grab this iron rod and push it forward, don't let go."

The six Zhuang Ding seemed to have practiced it a long time ago, each of them grabbed the iron rod and pushed forward with all their strength.There seemed to be something sticking to the door inside the stone door, making a "creaking" friction sound, and the iron rod slowly squeezed into the crack of the door.

The six Zhuang Ding did not dare to relax at all. Seeing that more than half of the iron bars had entered the stone gate, Yu Changyuan said to Zhuang Hengyun: "Second brother, each of us pushes a stone gate to see if we can open it."

Zhuang Hengyun agreed, and put his palms on the stone door on the right, and Yu Changyuan put his palms on the left stone door, and the two pushed forward at the same time.There was only a "rumbling" sound, and the two stone doors had been opened inwards, and a gust of cold air rushed out from the doors.

Everyone took a few steps back, and then raised their torches to shine forward.I saw a stone room behind the stone gate, five steps away from the stone gate, a stone pillar more than ten feet high stood on the ground, but there was a stone trough underneath.

Holding a torch, Yu Changyuan walked into the stone room first, shined the torch on the stone pillar, looked carefully for a moment, and said with a smile: "If there is no such thing left by Ma Kongkong, we will never be able to open this stone door."

When Li Qiufeng heard him mention the word "Ma Kongkong", his heart trembled, thinking that Ma Dongqing said that Yu Changyuan took something from Ma Kongkong's hand, and Yu Changyuan kept swearing that he did not take it.Judging by his current appearance, he must have obtained something from Ma Kongkong, and this thing is very important for entering the mausoleum.

Yan Dufei said on the side: "Master Yu really can bear it. He swore that day that he didn't take nothing for nothing. Unexpected ah unthinkable, hehe."

Yu Changyuan could hear the sarcasm in his words, but he didn't care. He took the strangely shaped iron rod from Zhuang Ding's hand and said, "This is what Ma Kongkong gave me that day. It's just that Yun Feiyang always thought it was What kind of map, but I didn't expect it to be an indispensable tool to open the mausoleum."

While talking, he disassembled the iron rod into iron rods of different lengths, and then put several Zhuang Ding into their backpacks, and then continued: "Ma Kongkong once told me that Emperor Dafan Nobles, after being buried, should use stone pillars to block the door of the tomb to prevent thieves from entering the tomb. This stone pillar weighs more than a thousand catties, and it cannot be opened by manpower alone. This Ma Kongkong has dealt with the tomb all his life. When he robbed the tomb of Cao's family in Beiman Mountain, he thought of this kind of tool. He used this kind of hook-shaped iron rod to stretch out from the crack of the tomb door to catch the stone pillar, and slowly pushed it open. Then I opened it. Haha, Ma Kongkong is dead now, only I know how to build this thing."
