Chapter 248 Eliminate the epidemic
"There is a plague on the farm above?".↖ The tomb robber's face turned paler!
It is still wrong for him to come here to rob the tomb, and it is even more inappropriate if he implicates innocent people because of this!
The tomb robber was deeply trapped in self-blame and his face became increasingly ugly.
"This guy must have misunderstood. It was the young silkworm that had an epidemic, not the plague in the manor!" Li Ling and Angelababy immediately understood the reason why the tomb robbers became more and more despicable.
It’s not because of his poor understanding, but because Angelababy didn’t make it clear.
Angelababy was also a little uneasy, but the plague occurred in the silkworms, and the matter was not too serious.
She was about to explain clearly to the tomb robber, but Li Ling was held back.
Now that the enemy and we are not clear, the tomb robber has not even revealed his identity, so it is better to use calmness to control it.
Li Ling was not only worried about the situation of the two, but also wanted to test the character of this tomb robber!
"Forget it, since I have done something wrong, I should admit it!" The tomb robber seemed to have made up his mind. He said firmly: "Don't worry, once the three of us walk out of the tomb, I will immediately go to the government to confess my guilt. It is because I spread the source of the disease and should bear the responsibility for response. I am willing to be responsible for this matter!"
He really didn't expect such a big thing to happen. He had been in the tomb for several days. Although he had not found anything particularly valuable, he had not been attacked by the epidemic.
"You misunderstood that the only thing that caused the epidemic was the silkworms raised by peasants, but they really needed this income, so they looked everywhere for the root of the epidemic. We both came to help!" Seeing that this person's attitude was pretty good, and he was not like a treacherous person. After getting Li Ling's hint, he told the other party the truth.
The tomb robber breathed a sigh of relief, and as long as there was no death, he would not have to feel so guilty.
"Tell me, who are you and how did you come to this tomb?" Li Ling still did not intend to let the tomb robber go. Now the three of them are trapped in the tomb. Only by figuring out the identity of the tomb robber can he decide whether to cooperate with the other party!
"My name is Fang Laohu. My ancestors live in Fang Jiaji several miles away. The measurement of tomb robbery is a craft passed down from the family!" Fang Laohu had no intention of hiding it at all. He honestly told his identity.
Today, the imperial court is clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If they are willing to endure hardships, everyone's life will be passed.
But Fang Laohu didn't make any other livelihood except tomb robbers. Fortunately, his ancestors left him twenty acres of dry land.
After renting the land, his life became easier. He was not very rich by renting it alone, so he had no choice but to pick up the things he had done before!
He has been to this manor several times before, and it is impossible for such good feng shui to be buried here without anyone.
After constant searching, he finally found the entrance.
Fang Laohu came here alone with an oil lamp. When he saw the skeleton on the ground, he was in vain. He never thought that there would be precious blood jade hidden under the skeleton.
He finally found the entrance outside, but he didn't expect that Li Ling also found the entrance to the cave and entered it.
"You said you found many pieces of blood jade that have been formed. So that's it. No wonder those skeletons are so small. I thought they were dwarfs specially selected for sacrifice. It turned out that those corpses of dogs were simply dogs!" Fang Laohu was a little enlightened. He secretly blamed himself for being so careless at that time that he had missed so many treasures, which made Li Ling and the others take advantage of it in vain!
Taoists can also use a method similar to natural to create blood jade. Put the jade into the dog's mouth and seal its mouth. After the dog is beating alive, the bones are buried underground. After the dog is dug again after decades, the blood jade can be obtained.
Of course, whether it is human blood or dog blood, they are more psychic (human ones are better). The dog blood jade has resentment and condenses in this, which is not good for the wearer.
"Did you say these are all bloody jades? Did someone do this on purpose?" Li Ling suddenly realized that these bloody jades are not good people, it would be better to sell them!
"Li Ling, what should we do now? Do you need to go back the same way and find a way to go out from that exit!" Angelababy was a little worried about how to go back. If they didn't go back for a long time, they would be anxious only to send Li Yanyu and the tenants.
Li Ling was silent. It was not difficult to get out from the same route to the exit, but it was not easy to get out without the cables.
The slope of the cave entrance is very steep, and it is really not easy to get up at a distance of more than ten meters!
"You don't have to panic. Generally speaking, craftsmen will leave a way out when the large tomb is built. They are also afraid that the tomb owner's family will kill and silence them and let them bury their relatives with them!" Fang Laohu said in a positive tone.
There must be a special secret passage in this tomb chamber, but I don’t know where the exit is?
While Fang Laohu was talking, he found that Li Ling had been looking at a gossip picture that must have been carved on the opposite side of the coffin, but he didn't know what the purpose was.
"Li Ling, is there something strange about this picture?" Angelababy also felt that her fiancé's attention was all on the stone carving picture.
"In addition to Kun position, there are slight flaws everywhere in this Bagua diagram. Does this mean that there is a way out in the southeast direction?" Li Ling said with a closer look at the stone scale on the side.
When Fang Laohu heard Li Ling say it, he also went to the front to check it out. The other party was right. There were mistakes in other parts of the Bagua diagram, but the Kun position was perfect.
When it comes to fiddling with these mechanisms, he is naturally much more familiar with Li Ling.
He hurriedly ran to the opposite stone wall and groped carefully.
There was originally a stone wall in the southwest direction without any trace. After Fang Laohu knocked on it for a while, a stone gate that was not very obvious was revealed.
"This is a hidden door. The stonemasons usually cover up the secret passage in the tomb chamber, in order to prevent the owner from discovering it. If the tomb owner does not have any wrong thoughts, they will naturally not use this mechanism!" Fang Laohu explained the key to Li Ling in detail.
At this time, the three of them wanted to go out sooner, so Li Ling and Fang Laohu worked together to push open the stone gate.
Behind the stone gate is a stone step leading to the outside, and the exit is in a small cave.
"This cave is not very big, and the cuts on the stone are very smooth. I see that this cave was also mined manually." Li Ling repeatedly observed the situation in the cave several times and exclaimed sincerely. He did not expect that the craftsmen would have created such a big project for their own lives.
Shortly after the three of them walked out of the cave, they were surrounded by tenants. These people had not seen Li Ling for a long time, and they were all worried.
The tenants have been looking for two people for a long time.
Finally, the source of infection was found. Under Li Ling's command, the tenants burned the skeletons in the cave, cleaned the ground repeatedly with lime water, and then closed the two holes with stones.
Fewer and fewer young silkworms died, and the disease was finally eliminated after a few days.
