Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 268 There is no road in the world, black iron drill

Su Tiansheng's body was burned black.

But not a single spark hit his head.

From my perspective, his eyes, which would never close even if he died, were staring at the top of Taoist Master Zhang's head.

This made me feel even more weird.

Taoist Master Zhang closed his eyes and took two breaths: "I will die with my eyes wide open, and resentment will haunt me."

"Ordinary fire can't burn his head off."

"Time is running out, otherwise things might change."

"You, you guys, hurry up and dig up the pile of rocks."

"The God's Tomb is right below."

The four words "delay may lead to changes" reminded me.

We can't be suspicious right now, we must rush to dig up the tomb of the god.

"Mouse and I will go over and take a look first."

"Your injuries...would you better bandage them first."

Taoist Master Zhang shook his head slightly: "I pressed the acupuncture points and closed the blood vessels in the body. This injury is not fatal."

"I have some hemostatic medicine in my pocket. Bandage your wound first."

As soon as he said that, my wound started to hurt.

Only then did I remember that I had been scratched on my waist.

I found some hemostatic medicine and sprinkled it on the wound, then wrapped gauze around it twice.

Taoist Master Zhang urged, "Go quickly."

I made a gesture to Cui Hao, and we walked together in the direction pointed by Taoist Zhang.

Walk nearly a hundred steps.

The emergency light illuminated a stone wall more than four meters high, the top of which was close to the top of the cave.

The lower layer of the stone wall is composed of large stones two or three meters long.

The stones in the middle and upper layers gradually became smaller, and the top layer was composed entirely of pebbles the size of a child's fist.

I asked Cui Hao to shine the light on both sides of the stone wall.

It is estimated that the stone wall is thirty to forty meters wide.

It was not an easy task for ancient tribes to pile up such a large pile of stones in such a deep cave.

Cui Hao stared blankly at the pile of rocks.

He murmured, "Do you want to dig this thing up?"

"Brother, I'm not afraid of being tired."

"But even if we both had three heads and six arms, we wouldn't be able to move this pile of rocks forever."

I was a little confused too.

The scale of the rubble pile was beyond expectations.

Not to mention that it was just the two of us, even if Wang Hushi Nianzi and the others were there, they wouldn't be able to move such a large pile of rocks.

Unless it is blown open with explosives.

But at that time, getting explosives was harder than climbing to the sky.

In the mid-to-late 1990s, large-scale tomb-robbing gangs were basically able to obtain explosives.

This is how to do?

I closed my eyes and racked my brain.

It is definitely not possible to dig in flatly, because if you are not careful the rocks above will collapse.

You can only attack the top or the bottom.

To top the pile means to remove stones from the center point of the top of the pile and dig a path downward.

Attacking the bottom means digging a hole slanting downward next to the pile of stones.

However, this is a stone cave, and there is hard rock underfoot, so the plan to attack the bottom is not feasible.

The only viable option left was to attack the summit.

Looking at the pile of rocks rising at an almost 90-degree angle, I waved my hand and said, "Let's go up and take a look."

"Go up? But there is no road." Cui Hao wondered.

“There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on them, they become roads.”

I walked to the pile of rocks and stepped on the protruding stone with my right foot.

Then raise your hands and find the crack in the rock above where you can hold on to and exert force.

"Hey!"

With a shout of strength, I climbed up along the pile of rocks.

"Be careful!" Cui Hao shouted loudly.

Hold up the emergency light to illuminate me.

I started climbing very fast because there were big rocks in the middle and lower part, which made it easy to step on and exert force to climb up.

The closer I got to the top, the slower I went.

Because the stones gradually became smaller, it was difficult to hold them with hands or step on them with feet, and it was difficult to find a place to gain leverage.

If you can't hold on to it or step firmly, you will fall down.

He climbed to a place only half a meter away from the top of the rubble pile and stopped.

I spread my limbs wide like a gecko and tried to stick my body completely to the pile of rocks to ensure that I would not fall.

Stopping is not about being tired.

But I can't continue climbing.

Further up there are pebbles as big as a child's fist.

The pebbles are small, round and smooth, and the cracks they form are completely unable to support any force.

After trying several times, I finally found a seemingly stable crack in the rock.

When he used his waist, abdomen and arms to climb up at the same time, the pebbles under the cracks in the rocks collapsed.

Wow!

Hundreds of pebbles rolled down like an avalanche.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and pulled half of my body back in time to avoid falling.

Even so, he was still hit by two pebbles.

"Brother! Slow down!" Cui Hao shouted worriedly.

"If it doesn't work, come down."

I sighed in my heart.

There's really no way to climb any higher.

The ancients piled small pebbles on the top, perhaps to prevent theft...

It would be nice to have a ladder.

If that doesn't work, a hanging climbing rope will do.

I looked up while thinking.

Suddenly there was a surprising discovery.

A rope appeared in the pit formed by the collapse of the cobblestones!

The rope is khaki.

It looks quite old, I wonder if it has been damaged.

But that rope is my hope of climbing up.

"Mouse, take two steps back."

"Shine the light into that pit!"

Cui Hao then adjusted the direction of the light.

Let me see the rope more clearly.

To be precise, it was not a rope, but a strip of khaki cloth.

It is as wide as three adult fingers and looks quite strong.

I didn't think about why there was a rope on it.

Instead, he thought it was impossible to climb up through the cracks in the rocks, so he could only try to grab the rope and climb up.

If the other end of the rope happens to be fixed and the rope is not damaged, you can just grab it and use it to climb to the top of the pile of rocks.

I raised my hand to test the distance.

The right hand was more than thirty centimeters away from the end of the rope.

As long as you jump with all your strength, you should have a chance.

If you jump and don't catch it... the worst result is that you will fall from a height of more than three meters.

For a country kid like me with thick skin and strong muscles, I should be fine if I fall from this height.

After thinking it through, I no longer hesitated.

Take a deep breath and exert force on your legs, waist and abdomen at the same time.

He jumped up along the pile of rocks and stretched out his arms to grab the rope.

Wow!

The moment he held the rope tightly with both hands, he swept down a few pebbles.

Pebbles came crashing down on him.

I quickly lowered my head and retracted my neck, while using my feet to find a place to step on for leverage.

Cui Hao was frightened by my jumping action.

Shouted loudly: "Brother!!!"

"You're crazy!"

"It's so high and it's jumping around!"

"I'm fine, you step back and be careful not to get hit by falling rocks!" I shouted after I firmly planted my feet.

Then he grabbed the rope and climbed up.

Wow!

My body moved upwards little by little, and the pebbles under my feet collapsed downwards.

Climb to the top of the stone pile with all your strength.

I lay on the pile of rocks, panting, feeling a huge pain in my waist.

I guess the wound opened again because I used too much force.

Fortunately, the effort was not in vain and I finally climbed up.

Thanks to this yellow cloth.

At this moment, I suddenly thought, could someone have come up here?

Otherwise, how did the yellow cloth come from?

Looking along the yellow cloth strip, the other end of the cloth strip was tied to a black iron rod three meters away.

Tied to the black iron spike was also a thangka of human skin!
