Chapter Thirty-Six - Entrance to the Tomb
But what confused Xu Tian now was that the dragon-seeking disk in my hand showed no signs of turning.
Xu Tian looked up at me and asked: "Old Liu, what is going on? Is this dragon-seeking plate broken?"
I shook my head, pointed to the place under our feet, and said, "It's not that the dragon-hunting plate is broken, but the place where our feet are stepping is the location of the tomb."
After hearing what I said, Xu Tian's expression paused and he looked down at the loess ground beneath his feet.
Xu Tian then turned around and saw that the two of us were currently less than ten meters away from the big tree.
Xu Tian said: "Doesn't that mean that the location of this tomb may have already included the location of the willow tree? That is, under the willow tree?"
I nodded, looked up at the huge willow tree, and then said, "If my guess is correct, the location of the Zari tribe's tomb is under this willow tree."
Xu Tian also turned to look at the willow tree, and then said to me: "In that case, I think I should know why the willow tree died now."
I looked stunned and said: "You mean, the Zhali people hollowed out the bottom of the willow tree, which led to the death of the willow tree?"
Xu Tiandao: "Yes, if the Zhali people hadn't hollowed out the bottom of the willow tree, how could the willow tree that had lived for so many years die so easily, not to mention it was still in such a primitive forest."
I nodded and said, "Well, let's hurry up and find the entrance to the tomb. It's not too early now. Let's try to get out of the tomb early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, the two began to search around.
But even though Xu Tian and we are Dragon-seeking Celestial Masters, it is easy to find the location of the tomb.
It would be even more difficult for us to find the entrance to a robbery cave or a tomb.
Just the first few times, it was just a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. A few times, Li Kun happened to bump into it, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to get in.
Of course, this kind of thing should be left to professionals.
Yes, these professionals are Du Jun, Lao Qian and Gai Wancheng.
There are at least dozens of tombs that these three people have descended into. Even if they cannot find the entrance to the tomb, they can dig a robbery hole.
And since Gai Wancheng was able to sit in the position of professor, he didn't just rely on his mouth.
Gai Wancheng and Lao Qian are currently exploring the general direction of the entrance to the tomb.
Although these two were professionals, this time it was Gai Wancheng who was stumped.
The two of them searched for a long time but could not find any trace of the entrance to the tomb. Now Gai Wancheng is thinking of asking me where the tomb is and just dig a hole to rob it.
But Gai Wancheng still couldn't save face, so the two of them had no choice but to sit on a loess bag and start to rest.
But at this moment, Gai Wancheng and Lao Qian heard a shout coming from the willow tree.
Lao Qian and Gai Wancheng turned around and saw Du Jun and Cheng Daudao.
The two of them were now standing under the willow tree, shouting at everyone and beckoning them to come over.
After hearing Du Jun's roars, Gai Wancheng immediately laughed.
Lao Qian also laughed dryly, and said to himself: "Fortunately, okay, this Lao Du is so proud. This time he has completely saved his face. If they are really found by these young men, let's not say that we did it ourselves."
I have passed through so many tombs and touched so many treasures.”
Thinking of this, Lao Qian shouted loudly to Du Jun in the distance: "Old Du, have you found the entrance to the tomb?"
Du Jun heard the sound and turned around to look at the two people, and then shouted: "I found it, I found it! Come here quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the two people quickly sat up from the ground, and then walked towards the big willow tree.
By the time Xu Tian and I reached the big willow tree, almost everyone had arrived, and even Li Kun and Hu Dalong also ran back.
After seeing Gai Wancheng and others who had returned first, they were gathered around the roots of the big tree looking at something, Xu Tian and we walked to the position behind everyone.
I said, "Is the entrance here?"
Du Jun and Captain Fang were squatting and digging on the ground with engineering shovels in their hands.
Gai Wancheng turned to look at me and said, "We have found it. We have been here for a long time and we still didn't find that the entrance is hidden at the root of the willow tree. Look."
As he spoke, Gai Wancheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the roots of the willow tree.
Xu Tian and we looked at the location pointed by Gai Wancheng.
I saw an extremely thick root at the root of the willow tree, and the position inside the root was exactly where the tree body was.
When Gai Wancheng shined his flashlight over it, I clearly saw that there was an extremely obvious secret door inside the roots of the tree and above the tree body.
But because the secret door is buried deep in the soil under the roots of the tree, now everyone can only dig out all the soil in this place to see the full view of the secret door above the tree.
When we saw that the entrance to the tomb was actually on top of the big willow tree, Xu Tian and we couldn't help but look at each other.
Li Kun also walked up to me at this time and said: "No wonder this willow tree is dead. Who wouldn't die if there was such a big hole in their body? I didn't expect that the Zhali people are quite good at hiding, and they actually built the entrance."
Under the roots of the big tree."
At this time, Xu Tian couldn't help but be curious about who found it and how he found such a hidden secret door.
Xu Tian then asked Gai Wancheng about this matter.
Gai Wancheng couldn't help but smile, then pointed at Cheng DaDa next to Du Jun and said, "Ask him."
As he said this, Captain Fang, Xu Tian and we all looked at Cheng DaDa with disbelief.
We never expected that the location of this tomb would be found by a person who knew nothing about it. Who would believe it!
Boldly, however, he scratched his head in embarrassment and turned to look at Du Jun.
When Du Jun saw Cheng DaDa's appearance, Du Jun, who had always been serious about his words, actually laughed.
Seeing how many people were like this, Captain Xu Tianfang, Saji, and the last few people who came here all had puzzled faces. We really didn’t understand what they were laughing at.
Then with a bold look of embarrassment, he recounted the story of discovering the secret door.
Cheng boldly said: "At first, Lao Du and I both walked quite a distance, but Lao Du said that the entrance to the tomb seemed to be getting further and further away, so I followed Lao Du and turned back."
"When we walked to the willow tree, Lao Du was looking around, and I was... hehe, I was a little anxious to urinate, and then I walked over here to solve it."
"But I didn't expect it. When I was about to take off my belt, I saw something seemed to be under the roots of the tree. When I lowered my head, I saw that there seemed to be a door here."
"Then I called Lao Du over. As soon as he saw it, he said that this was indeed the entrance to the tomb, and then he started to invite you to come over. That's what happened."
After saying that, Cheng Budao scratched his head in embarrassment.
But Xu Tian and the rest of us looked at Cheng DaDa in front of us with wide eyes. Xu Tian couldn't help but give Cheng Da Da a thumbs up and said: "High!"
After hearing what Cheng DaDa said, I also gave a wry smile, then walked up to Cheng DaDa and raised my hand to pat Cheng DaDa on the shoulder.
Then he said: "No matter what, you found the entrance to the tomb. If it weren't for you, we don't know how long we would have to search."
Gai Wancheng also nodded and said: "That's right, we didn't expect that the entrance to the tomb is actually on the trunk of the willow tree. Brother Cheng, you should take the lead this time."
Cheng Daudao smiled sheepishly, with a somewhat honest smile, and said: "Just find it, just find it, it doesn't matter what you do, haha."
While chatting, a few people started digging along the tree body.
But maybe because the people here are tall and tall, the height of this secret door is estimated to be at least three or four meters.
Moreover, the width of the entrance to the tomb is also very large, about two and a half meters.
A few of us first started digging on both sides of the statue, and dug out the horizontal width of the secret door.
However, the difficulty of digging is not small, because the location of the secret door is under the root of the tree. When we dig, we have to dig out the location of the tree root, which greatly increases our digging time.
But fortunately, we had more people and strength, and it took less than five or six minutes to completely dig out the sideways of the secret door.
And then they started digging downward.
However, the time of digging downward has been greatly increased. We must dig a rectangular pit more than three meters wide and four to five meters deep, so that we can see the entire secret door.
There were only four engineering shovels carried by a group of us, so the four people spread out. Two people started digging at the body of the tree, and two people at the outer positions began to dig slowly towards the body of the tree.
But because there were so many of us, we didn’t have to worry about getting tired. After one person got out of breath, another person continued digging.
As we dug the pit deeper and deeper, I finally saw what the secret door looked like.
When we dug more than two meters deep, I climbed out of the pit and changed into the captain of the room.
The secret door on the tree was not tightly closed, but leaked out through a gap.
And this secret door is a huge wooden door dug out from the tree body.
But this secret door has to be pulled outward to open, so everyone has to dig the hole bigger, otherwise it will be embarrassing for the owner when the door is opened and gets stuck.
A group of people went back and forth for more than an hour before finally seeing the entire secret door.
At this time, I jumped into the deep pit from above, and then I stretched out my hand and took off my inheritance ring of the Dragon-Seeking Master.
Under everyone's gaze, I handed the inheritance ring to Hu Dalong, who was sweating profusely.
Chapter completed!
