Chapter 2040 Main Tomb



Now that we have come to this point, no one says much.

Brother Yaozi responded and called Brother Shuisheng. The two of them picked up the engineering shovels and started working in the direction I pointed.

This time they dug for a long time. They dug the hole for more than 200 meters without encountering a single tomb on the way. It seemed that after the group of tombs arrived here, the tombs suddenly began to become sparse. They no longer dug dozens of tombs every time. It's like digging a tomb every meter. What's more, the coffins are several meters apart, as if they were buried in the same cave.

But this situation made us excited. Based on experience, we should be very close to the core area at this time. Generally, this situation only occurs when we are close to the main tomb.

About ten hours passed by again in a flash.

The diggers have taken turns. Brother Yaozi and Brother Shuisheng once again got into the hole. One person dug and the other was responsible for transporting soil. The hole spread out for hundreds of meters again. At this time, the hole had reached an astonishing scale. It is more than three hundred meters, which is already a very dangerous length. Just when I was considering whether to change the method of civil engineering work, Brother Yaozi's surprised voice suddenly came from the tomb passage.

"Jingzhe, Jingzhe, we have dug a grave!!

The stenciled tiles are exactly the same as those Tang tombs we dug before. From the area exposed by the robbery hole, there is no curvature. It looks like a big tomb!

Oh my god, this scale seems to be bigger than Li Zhen’s tomb!

I estimate that we have probably dug the main tomb!"

The tomb passage is too long, and Brother Yaozi's voice becomes muffled when it comes out, and the volume is also very low.

"..."

I handed Xiaozhi, who was sleeping in my arms, to Zhang Yao. I immediately stood up, approached the hole and shouted loudly: "It's probably Zhu's trap. Can it be broken open?"

After a while, Brother Yaozi's voice came: "The structure of the tomb is not complicated. There should be no mechanism designed to break it open!"

I was worried that Brother Yaozi wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so I turned around and woke up the sleepy people sitting in various corners of the tomb. I immediately picked up my backpack and went into the robbery hole.

At this time, there was a clanging sound coming from the front, and it seemed that Brother Harrier had already started working.

By the time I crawled through the more than 300-meter-long robbery cave and came to the back of Brother Yaozi, I was sweating from the narrow and cramped robbery cave. Brother Yaozi had already dug out the tomb wall, leaving the hollow in the middle. After cleaning up the glutinous rice mortar filled in every corner, there was another tomb wall in front of it. Brother Kite picked up the crowbar, pointed the flat end at the gap between the tomb bricks, and smashed it with a "clang clang" sound.

Cracks appeared on the tomb bricks, and some bricks broke. Then there was a "bang" sound, and a hole the size of a washbasin appeared in the wall.

I raised my head and took a look. It was pitch black inside the cave, but there was no white miasma floating around. This shows that the sealing of this tomb is not good.

Brother Yao Zi took a flashlight and looked inside, and said: "Oh, this tomb is really high enough. Our robbery hole was dug near the top of the tomb..."

He was also a brave man. As he was talking, he slid his head through the hole in the tomb wall. After taking a condescending look, he heard him say "grass".

"What's going on!?"

I was anxious at the back, because the hole was too narrow, and the kite brother was blocking the front, so I couldn't get through at all.

"It's full of coffins!"

Brother Yaozi smacked his lips: "Qing Yishui'er's golden nanmu coffin, and all the coffins are open."

"How many?"

"Countless! This special lady's tomb is so big that you can't even see the head at a glance. I guess there must be hundreds or even thousands of coffins!!"

"..."

I thought about it and said: "This is probably the main tomb in this tomb group. However, this tomb is not like the main tomb, nor is it a burial pit. There will be no coffins for the people in the burial pit. This should be a secondary burial chamber."

The people in the tomb should be the most trusted people of the tomb owner during his lifetime, and they are willing to be buried here."

Brother Yaozi retracted his head, pointed the crowbar at the tomb wall, and smashed it again, widening the original dark hole several times. After people could get through, he took out the rope and fixed it.

, put down the rope, and immediately climbed down holding on to the rope.

At this time, my master and others followed one after another.

Seeing this, I dragged my backpack and followed Brother Yaozi into the tomb.

really……

The size of this tomb is a bit too big. The size of this tomb for secondary burials alone is probably larger than the entire tomb of Li Zhen. The clear water inside is full of coffins, neatly arranged, one by one.

The small rammed earth platforms were only three or four steps apart from each other. The coffins were placed on them, one after another, as if they were arranged in a square array.

At a glance, the hundreds or thousands of coffins mentioned by Brother Yao Zi are a very conservative number. I have been to Shaanxi and seen the terracotta warriors and horses pit in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. The scale of this pit is only bigger than that of the terracotta warriors and horses.

Although the coffins take up a little space, there are definitely thousands of coffins, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Among these coffins, some had a rough lid, and some had their big ends broken open. Anyway, all the dead inside were gone.

I walked to one of the coffins and took a look. There were still some rusty iron pieces left in the coffin. They were armor pieces. Although they were rusty, I could tell at a glance that this was the Anxi Protectorate.

The armor plates worn by the Tang army were obviously different from the armor of the hundreds of men and horses under Li Zhen.

After all, I was detained under Li Zhen and served for a period of time. I immediately knew who was sleeping in these coffins: "They are soldiers from the Zhechong Prefecture under the Anxi Protectorate.

After Li Zhen and the others came back from the dead, what they did was obviously to follow the same path they had taken during their lives.

At the beginning, the Anxi Protectorate only relied on the few hundred private soldiers under Li Zhen, but later they began to recruit soldiers from the Tang people in the Western Regions. Judging from that posture, they should have finally raised a force.

The army.

I guess...these people sleeping here should be the troops they raised later. As a result...all those who were instigated by the mastermind behind the scenes are lying here, and they did not die like warriors.

It is estimated that all these people have come back from the dead, and just like the tombs we encountered before, people have gone up to make trouble."

"It can be said that benevolence is rewarded. They only want to stabilize the Western Region. The man behind the scenes must have achieved this!"

Brother Yaozi turned around and took a look. Seeing that my master and the others were coming down, he stopped talking and split up with me.

There won't be any clues in the secondary burial chamber. People have come back from the dead, so there's nothing interesting to see. If there are any important clues in this tomb, it's probably only in the main burial chamber.

Everyone dispersed, and not long after, they heard Jing Yu's brother and sister shouting, and they found the exit of the tomb...
