Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 72 Archaeological Sinkhole
I froze for a moment: "On the left, isn't the left side the newly unearthed modern ancient tomb that the villagers mentioned?"

"That's right." Yazai scratched his head: "Did Akun's worms make a mistake?"

Lao Yan gave Yazai a look: "You can shut up, if he wants to repair you in a place full of bugs, you won't even have bones left."

Yazai immediately made a gesture to zip his mouth, and silently followed behind.

There is no way to go to the left from here, we can only use sticks to open the way, and we can encounter little snakes from time to time.But obviously our group is already immune to these things. I also saw Miss Qiu grab a silver-ringed poisonous snake with the intention of attacking her, and throw it out with her bare hands...

Kumbu walked in the front, and I noticed that none of these poisonous snakes, insects and ants dared to come within ten steps of him. Obviously he was the one who opened the way, but he walked the most easily!

After walking like this for about ten minutes, the field of vision gradually opened up, and a road stepped on by many people lay in front of us.

After walking on this road, I saw a group of people busy in front of a big pit after walking for less than 5 minutes. They must be some kind of archaeological team.

After we approached, the people there obviously noticed us, and they seemed a little surprised by our appearance, and then a man with glasses and a professor came over and said that this place has been listed as an archaeological area, and other people are not allowed Come in.

Kumbu was about to walk in with a blank expression on his face, but the professor wearing glasses wanted to stop him but was blocked by Lao Yan.The latter didn't know what to take out from his arms, but the former glanced at it and his face changed drastically. Not only did he no longer stop him, but he ran back and told the archaeological team not to interfere with us, we can do whatever we want.

When he said this, Kumbu had already reached the edge of the big pit, and someone picked up a shovel to block the way, but he didn't respond.But I saw his hand raised slightly, and Kumbu didn't let it go until the professor scolded the man to back down.

"He doesn't want to release Gu?" I asked the boy beside me in surprise.

Yazai hehehe did not speak, but the way he looked confirmed my words.

My scalp is a little numb, I just think that I can't mess with Kumbu if I mess with anyone in the future!

"Let's go take a look too." Seeing that Kumbu's whole body was about to disappear on the edge of the pit, Lao Yan waved his hand to invite us to walk over together.

The professor wearing glasses followed him. He claimed to be surnamed Chen, and he was the leader of the archaeological team this time.

"Professor Chen, when did you come here? Did you find anything?" Lao Yan asked.

Through this stall, I glanced at the bottom of the pit, and the scale of the tomb has been revealed. It seems that it is just a small tomb of the Republic of China, at most the late Qing Dynasty.But Kumbu was looking for something very seriously, and from time to time he could see that he released one or two insects with flapping wings.

Professor Chen replied: "We arrived in the afternoon of the day before yesterday. When we arrived, more than half of the place was already out. We have been busy for two days and we have cleaned up the tomb. According to preliminary investigations, this should belong to an official in the late Qing Dynasty. Tomb, but the specific identity is not yet known."

"That's right." Lao Yan nodded, and then said: "You guys are busy with other things first, let's take a look, and if we find nothing, we will leave."

Professor Chen nodded repeatedly, letting Lao Yan do whatever he wanted, and then led the archaeological team back a certain distance, saying that he was busy, probably because he was afraid of affecting us.

"Akun, what did you find?" Lao Yan shouted.

Kunbu pointed to the ground: "There is something down there."

Lao Yan frowned, saying that this is already a relatively complete tomb, how could there be anything underneath?
"That's not necessarily true, Lao Yan, have you forgotten the tomb within the tomb?" Miss Qiu brushed her hair aside.

The tomb within the tomb is actually a means of preventing theft. Generally speaking, latecomers are afraid that their tomb will be stolen by tomb robbers, so they repair the cemetery under the existing cemetery.Many experienced veterans will also be deceived by this trick, and will only steal the tomb objects on the upper floor.

But if it is a tomb within a tomb, even if there is a tomb below, it may not be of much value, because it only means that the tombs below are younger.

"What do you think?" Lao Yan asked Kunbu.

Kumbu shook his head and didn't speak, as if he was waiting for something, and Lao Yan didn't rush him, but walked around the edge of the big pit, grabbing a handful of soil from time to time to smell it.

I followed behind him, looked at the soil in his hand and said something seemed wrong.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Lao Yan seemed to be interested, and asked me as he rubbed the soil.

I grabbed half of the soil from his hand, rubbed it until it was finely crushed, and put it under my nose to sniff: "If it is a tomb in the late Qing Dynasty, the soil seal should be mainly gray sand. Even in the Republic of China, this kind of gray sand tomb was still the mainstream." , but this is more like the tomb style before the Ming and Qing Dynasties.”

Lao Yan nodded: "You are right, but look at this tomb, it is indeed a gray sand tomb. If it was before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it should be dominated by earth or brick pits."

I glanced at him before expressing my opinion: the so-called tomb within the tomb may be the other way around. It is not that someone placed the tomb under this ancient tomb in the late Qing Dynasty, but that the latecomer built himself directly under the tomb. above the previous tomb.

I also understand Lao Yan's tangled expression after speaking, because generally speaking, only places with excellent Fengshui will be photographed at the same time, but the Fengshui here is so-so. Such a good geomantic place, why did the owner of this tomb choose this place?

If it is to prevent tomb robbers, it should be built under the original tomb!

Boom!

While I was thinking hard, there was a knocking sound from the pit. I quickly turned my head and saw Kumbu hitting the northwest corner of the pit with a shovel.

"That, that..." Probably hearing the noise, Professor Chen from a distance came over, rubbed his hands and shouted in embarrassment while running, "Although this tomb has little archaeological value, it cannot be destroyed wantonly."

Lao Yan originally wanted to say something to Kumbu at the top of his voice, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by Professor Chen's shout.

Lao Yan quickly comforted him, and then said mysteriously: "Don't worry, he is not a random person!"

Professor Chen's face was troubled. Every time Kumbu shoveled, his brows would jump up and down, and his face would turn darker.I figured that if Lao Yan hadn't revealed his identity before, Professor Chen would have been able to go down and fight Kumbu desperately.

But after Kumbu shoveled for about ten minutes, Professor Chen's tangled expression gradually turned into astonishment --- because there was a black hole for only one person at the place where Kumbu shoveled, which looked like a robbery. Hole.

Lao Yan and I looked at each other, and we couldn't hide our incredulity in our eyes. This robbery hole was built here, which means that this Qing Dynasty ancient tomb already existed when it was first built.

So, the owner of this tomb should know about the existence of the Robbery Cave?
Lao Yan's expression changed, before he said anything, he saw Kunbu release the hidden Gu, then he gestured to Lao Yan, turned around and went into the robbery cave.

"Are you okay?" I was a little worried, I always felt that this weird tomb was to cover up something.

Lao Yan waved his hand and said it's all right. With Kumbu's ability, he will definitely find out and notify us immediately if something happens.

I didn't speak, just stared at the robbery hole, and held the walkie-talkie in my hand, while Miss Qiu took another two sips of wine. In the words of Yazai, she felt that she had work to do...

I was even more nervous when he said that, Yazai patted me on the shoulder amusedly: "I heard Lao Yan said that you are very courageous, and there is nothing wrong now, why are you scared instead?"

"Don't talk!" I cursed in a low voice, I don't know why, I feel a little uneasy in my heart, I just feel that something big is going to happen.

Professor Chen on the side didn't notice our posture, but rubbed his hands excitedly: "I didn't expect it to be a tomb within a tomb, so the archaeological value will be much higher."

None of us paid any attention to him, we were all staring at the robbery cave, waiting for news from Kumbu.

But there was no news from him for a long time, as if he disappeared after entering, Lao Yan hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to contact him, but there was no response from the other end!
