Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 128 Stealing the Cave and Entering the Tomb Passage
  Bai Jing heard Hu Bayi's words, came to Hu Bayi's side, and looked at the notebook.

After a few glances, Bai Jing roughly knew what happened.

The notebook said that this group of Japs came to find a military fortress, but the person who led the way died, and the rest of them wandered around in the forest. As a result, they wandered for several years without finding the entrance to the fortress.

Later, a group of tomb robbers came here, that is, these people outside the shack. They told the Japanese that Japan had surrendered. When they heard this, the Japanese became very angry, so they killed them in anger. These tomb robbers were all killed, and then they themselves were disemboweled.

Hu Bayi also explained the content to everyone.

After listening to Hu Bayi's translation, the fat man thought for a moment, pointed to the corpses of the Japs and said, "Hey, do you think these Japs are the savages mentioned?"

Hearing this, Hu Bayi pointed to the contents of the notebook and nodded and said, "It's possible. Look, this notebook says it's the 33rd year of the Showa era."

The thirty-third year of the Showa era was 1958, which meant that this group of Japanese had been wandering in the woods for more than ten years when they died.

Bai Jing also admired this. These people had lived in the wild for so many years, and the final cause of death was that they committed suicide after learning about the defeat and surrender of the Japanese army.

Yingzi looked at the corpse on the ground and asked with some confusion: "They have been hanging around here for so many years, why don't they go out?"

The fat man immediately said: "They want to go out. The forest is so big, how can they get out?"

Bai Jing also nodded and said: "There are endless virgin forests all around. If you can't judge the direction, there is no way to go out."

After hearing what the two said, Yingzi also understood.

Then Yingzi felt that there was a bit of crowd here, so she urged everyone to leave quickly.

As soon as he got out of the shack, the fat man pointed at the corpses on the ground and asked, "In other words, the group of people outside are all tomb robbers?"

Hu Bayi took a flashlight and looked around and said, "If my judgment is correct, the place under our feet is where the tomb is."

When Bai Jing heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about whether there are tombs or not. The tomb is right at your feet. That's tomorrow's thing. Now, let's go and have a rest."

After saying that, Bai Jing left without caring about the reactions of Fatty and Hu Bayi.

Upon seeing this, Yingzi hurriedly followed.

As soon as Fatty and Hu Ba saw Bai Jing and Yingzi leaving, they looked at each other and thought for a moment. They should rest today and discuss the matter of finding a burial tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Bai Jing didn't even get up. Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang packed up their things and went to dig a hole.

Bai Jing shook his head when he saw this, then tidied up and started his morning exercises as usual.

Yingzi, on the other hand, went to collect firewood and prepare breakfast for everyone.

Bai Jing had almost finished his morning exercise, so he went to check on the progress of Hu Bayi and Fatty.

When Bai Jing arrived, he saw Hu Bayi and Fatty burying the dug hole with lingering fear.

Seeing this, Bai Jing asked what was going on, and then Hu Bayi explained. It turned out that they had been digging all morning, and they had reached the top of Tianbao Dragon Fire Glaze.

The Tianbao Longhuo Glazed Dome was an anti-theft method that was only used as a last resort. The craftsmanship of this structure was very advanced, and the tomb chamber was usually made hollow during construction.

Then a very thin layer of glazed tiles was laid on the ceiling, with bags of fire dragon oil from the Western Regions on the tiles, and then another layer of glazed tiles was laid on top of the fire dragon oil, and then the mound of earth was sealed.

Under such circumstances, as long as an external force enters, the top will be broken at a touch, and the Western Regions Fire Dragon Oil inside will catch the air. Once the tomb robber approaches, it will instantly burst into flames, destroying the tomb robbers, funerary objects, and other objects in the tomb. The bodies of the tomb owners were all burned.

This is because the tomb owner would rather destroy his own things than have his body destroyed by tomb robbers. This method was not replaced until better anti-theft methods were developed later. After listening to Hu Bayi's words, Bai Jing immediately said: "Okay, don't bother, I just found the side hole dug by the tomb robbers, let's go take a look."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty suddenly became interested, and then quickly followed Bai Jing's pace.

But at this moment, a fierce barking sound came.

Bai Jing's expression suddenly changed when he heard the dog barking, and he immediately said, "Something happened to Yingzi."

After saying that, Bai Jing started to speed up and ran in the direction of the sound.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang also hurriedly followed.

After a while, the three of them saw a hole in the ground. They didn't know who dug it or whether it was dug by a beast.

But Bai Jing was smiling at this moment.

"Hey, what a coincidence, this is the hole I just told you about."

The fat man looked at the hole and asked doubtfully: "Old Bai, is this the hole dug by the tomb robber you mentioned?"

Bai Jing nodded, then took out a rope, tied it to a nearby tree, and shouted into the hole: "Yingzi, just hold on, we'll come down and rescue you right away."

After saying that, he threw the rope into the hole.

The fat man couldn't help it anymore. When he knew that this was where the thief's cave was, he enthusiastically signed up to be the first to go in.

Soon, I saw the fat man grabbing the rope and slowly descending into the hole.

Bai Jing and Hu Bayi also laughed when they saw Fatty Hou's anxious look.

Afterwards, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi also entered the robbery cave one after another.

After coming down, he saw Yingzi covering her legs on the ground. Bai Jing immediately asked with concern: "Yingzi, how are you?"

Yingzi felt it and felt that he was much better now, and immediately said: "Brother Bai, nothing's wrong. He must have sprained his legs just now, and he's almost healed now."

Bai Jing and Hu Bayi were relieved when they heard what Yingzi said, and then they stepped forward and pulled Yingzi up.

Yingzi stood up and was a little affected at first, but after a while it was clear that it was nothing serious.

Seeing this scene, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi were completely relieved.

Then, several people looked into the cave.

This is a passage made of stones, and some tomb beasts are carved on the stones.

Bai Jing nodded and said, "It seems right, this is the tomb passage."

When the fat man heard Hu Bayi's words, he almost laughed out loud with excitement, and immediately said: "Old Bai, Old Hu, this is the tomb passage, let's go in and have a look?"

Without waiting for Bai Jing and Hu Bayi to agree, the fat man took out the rope from his bag and threw it forward, as if he wanted to test whether there was any mechanism here.
