Chapter 403: Mural of the Seven-Fingered Man

 The mine looked very close, but Ye Bai and others had been traveling all morning and still hadn’t gotten close to the foot of the mine.

Everyone found a place under a big shady tree. Li Wenhao and Huo Xianhai led others to catch some hares, set up a bonfire, and sprinkled cumin on them for barbecue.

Qi Tiezui took Wu Puppy and climbed up the hillside with the two dogs, holding a compass to watch.

He looked at the valley in front of him, arranged the geomantic omen, and found that the geomantic omen of this valley was very good. There was a stream at the bottom of the valley, and in the distance was a continuous virgin forest, connected to the mine.

What surprised him was that in the flat valley in the valley, there were irregular lumps of earth every ten miles or so. Although they were not high, they looked very unnatural.

Those who are familiar with it will immediately know that this may be the weathered earth seal of the tomb.

"Baby, stop looking, the hare meat is almost gone." Wu Xiaoxiao tugged at Qi Tiezui's sleeve.

"Don't move, I seem to have discovered something amazing. There is a tomb under this valley."

Wu puppy's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Why are you lying to me? All the ancestors of my Qi family are good at visiting tombs. Their ability to explore tombs by relying on compass and feng shui is no worse than that of Captain Jin." No one else was around, and Qi Tiezui was not afraid of showing off his awesomeness even if he boasted.

So, each of them took a dog and started groping in the valley.

Ye Bai came out of the tent, took a piece of fragrant rabbit leg meat, looked at the two people and two dogs in the valley below, and asked: "What are they doing?"

Huo Xianhai whispered: "I heard from Master Ba that a tomb was found in the valley."

Ye Bai shook his head slightly. The system did not prompt. If there is a tomb, it is probably another empty tomb.

"Let them struggle."

Soon, Qi Tiezui and Wu Xiaowu worked together and found a robbery cave instead of the tomb.

The entrance to the thief's cave was filled with a shallow layer of soil, and Huang San sniffed it out with his nose.

Wu Xiaowu dug out the shallow soil layer, revealing a straight hole. The underground was dark and exuded a musty earthy smell.

"Broken."

This kind of amateur robbery will cause too much damage to the tomb. If rainwater seeps in, no matter how good the things under the tomb are, they will not be saved.

"Lao Ba, go inform Third Master and the others that they have found a robbery hole."

Qi Tiezui glanced at the tent camp a few miles away and said reluctantly: "Why should you let me go? I won't go."

Wu Xiaowu rolled his eyes at him, but helplessly, he called Huang San and whispered a few words in his ear.

Huang San seemed to be able to understand human speech and ran towards the camp.

Qi Tiezui praised: "This dog is not bad."

"More useful than you."

Qi Tiezui curled his lips, too lazy to argue.

He is not stupid. If he competes with a dog, he will lose his place even if he wins!

After about ten minutes, Ye Bai and others rushed over.

Huo Xianhai was also a veteran of going to the grave. He grabbed a handful of dirt from the wall of the robbery cave and said, "This doesn't look like the work of a veteran. It seems to be a counter-attack."

"Go down and explore." Ye Bai ordered.

This time, Chen Pi took the lead and got into the robbery hole first. Everyone got in one by one, leaving only the Qinglong team to guard outside.

This is a huge tomb passage, and the surrounding tomb bricks are covered with mottled and moldy murals.

"What a pity." Huo Xianhai glanced around, feeling quite sorry.

Ye Bai found that the portraits were full of various ancient figures. What was quite strange was that these ancient figures all had two faces.

"Eighth Master." Ye Bai called lightly, Qi Tiezui nodded immediately, raised his torch and watched the mural carefully with his eyes wide open.

On the brick passage, you can see that each brick has a special diamond-shaped diagonal pattern.

"Inlaid with molded pattern bricks, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Third Master, this is another tomb from the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

"Ba Ye is very capable." Huo Xianhai praised him. He really didn't expect that the young Qi Ba Ye had unusual eyesight and that the Qi family could be considered a successor.

"A prize, a prize, a prize." Qi Tiezui clasped his fists and bowed. In the eyes of Wu Xiaowu and Chen Pi, he looked like a villain who has succeeded.

At this time, Wu Xiaowu said quietly: "Lao Ba, I have also visited tombs in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. As far as I know, the murals in the Southern and Northern Dynasties are not like this."

Qi Tiezui shook his head and explained: "The murals are peeling off so much that it is difficult to distinguish the dynasty based on the mural techniques. However, even if the murals are not from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this tomb must be from the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

Chen Pi, who didn't know much about it, interjected: "What a joke, how could the mural and the tomb not be from the same dynasty?"

Huo Xianhai helped Qi Tiezui and said: "Brother Chen Pi, it is really possible. Mines have been mined here all year round. This ancient tomb may have been discovered by miners a long time ago, and the murals fell off improperly. People who came later may want to show off their painting skills, so they

Paint on it."

Everyone continued to go deeper, and suddenly Qi Tiezui stopped: "Third Master."

"What's wrong?"

Qi Tiezui pointed to a blurry area on the mural, an extremely small figure.

This character is different from all the previous ones. All the ancient people on the murals have two faces, but this person only has one face.

And the facial features are distinct, including the nose, eyes, and mouth. They are obviously carefully carved by the painter.

Wu Xiaowu shouted: "Look, no matter where I stand, this person seems to be staring at me."

After saying this, the others also became interested and stood at different angles in the tomb passage to check the visual status of the characters.

At this time, Ye Bai raised his eyebrows. He had better eyesight. In addition to the above characteristics, this character seemed to have seven fingers.

There are two small thumbs on the thumb, which is different from ordinary people.

If you look closely, it looks like the painter made a pen error. When drawing the characters' fingers, the pen tip stayed stuck, resulting in multiple broken fingers.

"Lao Ba, take down this brick and take it away."

"Ah?"

"Ah what, don't destroy the painting above."

"Oh." Qi Tiezui quickly pulled Wu Xiaowu to demolish the wall, but the two of them didn't have any tools, so Chen Pi stepped forward to help and used a nine-claw hook to pull out the bricks.

Qi Tiezui felt that tangerine peel was very pleasing to his eyes. He was about to say thank you when he heard tangerine peel say.

"You're too ink-blank, I'm afraid it will waste Third Master's time!"

Well, a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit, so Qi Tiezui turned around and left.

When everyone reached the depths of the tomb passage, a huge mural appeared above their heads.

The mural depicts the sun, moon and stars in the shape of a lotus, as well as a lotus pattern holding a fiery red tail.

It turns out that the ancient figures on the surrounding walls were watching the celestial phenomena above their heads.

There are vague writings next to the mural, only six of which can be seen, which read: "The sky is hanging like an elephant, and the sky is drumming!"

Qi Tiezui was quite surprised and explained: "In the words of the Five Elements family, the sky is hanging like an elephant and the sky is beating like a drum. It means that a meteorite falls here and it means a huge disaster."

"Did a meteorite rush here during the Northern and Southern Dynasties?" Wu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

At this time, Ye Bai said: "It's not necessarily the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Little dog, look at the people in the murals. Their costumes are very weird. You can't tell which dynasty they are from. The meteorite impact may have happened even longer ago. The painter was just here."
