The dark hole is round in shape and slopes downward...

No matter how you look at it, this is a rip-off.

There were some withered grass and mud scattered around. The robbery hole must have been simply hidden using some crude means. I was blind and fell down without seeing it.

What caught my attention was a circle of black stuff at the entrance of the burglar's cave. From a distance, it looked like carbon dust. But when I looked closer with a miner's lamp, I saw that it was actually some mold spots, but there were too many of them, and they were covered in layers.

One layer, looks like a black trail.

I rolled up the hem of my vest to cover my mouth and nose, and held up the miner's lamp to shine into the thief's cave.

There are many black mold spots similar to this, but the further away from the cave, the sparser the mold spots are, and they are attached to the soil of the cave, making them difficult to see unless you look carefully.

In order to confirm what I was thinking, I placed a stone from the rock pillar next to me, and then picked out a bit of mold from the entrance of the robber's cave. I asked Brother Yaozi for a lighter and burned it, and the mold immediately turned into a streak of black.

The breath dissipated.

"Mom, this is a corpse curse!"

Brother Yaozi exclaimed: "The color of the hair mound changes. If you touch the gold, run away. The King of Hell has ordered that you will die if you touch it! A friend of mine once encountered it. Not long after he touched the soil, his hands felt like mold growing on rotten fruit.

Well, there were layers of rotten mold spots, and it didn’t take long for them to turn into flesh and blood. He reacted very quickly, and he was cruel enough to himself. He asked his accomplice to chop off both hands with one knife, but...

Even so, I couldn't escape the disaster. Not long after I returned home, my body began to be covered with sores. The sores were like the suckers of an octopus. They kept oozing smelly pus and were hard and painful when pinched.

It was also contagious, and not long after, the whole family got this strange disease. The pain became more and more uncomfortable as it went to the back, and the pain and itching were unbearable. If you scratch it hard, you can remove the sore, but it will leave a bloody hole, and there will be no good flesh on the body.

It was such a miserable death. The old man said that the dead man in the tomb was cursed. He touched the soil on the tomb and was infected with the evil curse!"

"It's not a so-called curse, it's just that he didn't know how to do it and took the wrong path. There was a door to enter the tomb, but he had to dig a hole and fell into the trap!"

I sighed softly.

The so-called corpse curse is just a saying that was made by the gods after the native master was killed.

In fact, this is mold, or it may be some kind of radioactive substance, which is directly mixed into the sealing soil to prevent local masters from opening holes in the roofs of dead people. If you come into contact with mold or radioactive substances, you will definitely die!

There are many kinds of such molds. There are related formulas in "The Book of Ten Thousand Burials", which were cultivated by the ritual officials themselves. As for those radioactive things, they are all natural. They are basically some rare ores ground into powder and mixed with

Into the soil.

Tombs with this kind of structure usually have to leave a living door.

In other words, if you want to enter the tomb, you cannot dig through the hole, but must walk through the gate in an upright manner.

If you can't find the gate and act recklessly, I'll punish you to death!

Of course, there are also those who do not leave any traces, and directly make the tomb a dead end, and no one is allowed to touch it. It is powerful, but it is the residual power of the tomb owner lying there, and it is the blessing of future generations. After all, the tomb

This kind of thing is not only anti-theft, but also requires a lot of attention. It must be in line with the Yin and Yang of heaven. If it is done to death, there will be endless troubles.

Therefore, there are not many people who really do this. In order to make themselves comfortable, future generations will be uneasy. How selfish is this? Even the ancient emperors did not play this way.

Of course, in order to frighten tomb robbers, those who use this kind of land sealing mechanism will naturally do it with gimmicks. For example, Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun did this.

When Dingling was excavated, the descendants of the people who guarded the tomb said that there was a small river in the Dingling Underground Palace with a small boat floating on it. If you wanted to see Emperor Wanli, you had to cross it by boat. After crossing the river, there was another deep trench.

The bottom of the ditch is covered with iron thorns, and there is a replica on it. If you want to cross the river by ferry and cross the ditch by pedaling, you must have the same birth date to succeed, otherwise you will die.

In fact, this is completely bluffing. An ancestor of my family participated in the design of Dingling. That tomb used this kind of anti-theft facility. There is a mold called "Qingwuzi" in the tomb. This mold is actually related to human beings.

As for the blood reaction, only people with type O blood are not affected. After inhaling it, they will have a stomachache and diarrhea for a few days. People with other blood types will be poisoned to death. It has nothing to do with their birth date.

"It turned out to be the method of the ritual officials. However, your method is too cruel. It may be fate for future generations to suffer this kind of suffering."

Brother Yaozi was a little depressed. He probably thought about the fate of his friend. He stared at the robbery hole and sighed quietly: "I have been fighting with this bastard for so many years. Why did he get broken here?"

I feel bad when I think about it. After all, there are some respectable people in the world, and some bad people have to respectfully shout 'Mr. Bai' when they see them. They are so damn...useless!"

"That's not necessarily what Lao Bai said. This robbery cave is sloping downward. Although the slope is a bit steep, it won't cause you to fall to death. As for the mold, it may not be useful. I just said that one has already fallen, and we can't follow it anymore.

When taking risks, if there is an eventuality, wouldn’t the whole army be wiped out?”

I shook my head, making this inference was not comforting.

The main reason lies in this robbery hole.

There is a saying about the Robbery Cave, which is called "the ancient circle is close to the square." If you look at the shape of the Robbery Cave, you can know when it was dug.

This is a circular cave, indicating that it has been there for some years.

I looked at the rope tied to the old crooked neck rock pillar again. The rope had broken. It must have been brought in by these tomb robbers. Over the long years, the rope had long been pitch black, but it felt a little bright to the touch.

A greasy feeling.

"Youmasuo."

I immediately made a judgment.

This rope is undoubtedly a hemp rope. Although it has come apart, it is very tough and is difficult to break even now.

This kind of rope was short-lived in history. The production is similar to ordinary hemp rope, but it has an additional process called oiling.

In cold areas, there is an oil called flax.

In the past, people would squeeze flax oil to supplement their basic fat intake.

Nowadays, this oil is probably only eaten in some relatively remote places in the north.

This kind of flax oil will be used in the oiling process of this kind of linseed rope.

It is roughly like rubbing the hemp rope until it becomes loose, then exposing it to sesame oil, and finally beating it, drying it, and rolling it firmly to form the so-called hemp rope. The process is very simple, but the hemp rope is very tough and can be pulled continuously.

It is more difficult to corrode. When tightened, the knife may cut continuously.

During the Song and Jin Dynasties, the Mongols who were active in the northern grasslands were undoubtedly invincible at that time. They were nomadic people, and they were very good at playing with ropes and traps. They would naturally not lose this ability in battle. Unfortunately, ordinary ropes are too

It is easy to damage, so this kind of linoleum rope was invented.

"This robbery cave may be from the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty."

I made this inference and said with a smile: "Mold is actually very afraid of being exposed to the air. Some molds will die quickly when exposed to the air. This hole has been open for hundreds of years. Maybe the mold has already

It’s dead, but I can’t recognize what kind of mold this black mold is, so I’m not sure if it’s still harmful.”

With this statement, Brother Yaozi and Zhang Xinya were obviously relieved.

But now there's a problem.

Who are these tomb robbers and why do they get here?

The most important thing is, why did they choose to open a robbery hole in this place?

It is certain that none of these people got out alive after being contaminated with mold.

Now, the only thing I know is that these people appeared here directly, and most likely got in from the entrance on the Guanlui Mountain side.

"It probably has nothing to do with our family. When people in our family open a tomb, they can tell if there is any mold in the soil just by shoveling it in. It's impossible to dig such a long hole in a haphazard manner."

I whispered to myself, with a strong desire to explore. If I want to save Lao Bai, I must find the only way out here.

The failure of these tomb robbers has taught me a lot. Why did they open a robbery hole in such a large area?

I stood up, walked around, and finally looked at the overall situation, and then compared it with the location of the robbery cave.

"Damn it, that's what happened!"

I patted my thigh and had an idea: "This group of tomb robbers is actually quite capable. They actually saw the doorway lined with limestone pillars and accurately found the location of the tomb chamber below. Unfortunately, they opened it in the wrong way and folded themselves in!"
