Chapter 14: The Cause and Effect (3)

Two days later, Guo Er and his men really started to work. They were not a technical school. As far as tomb raiding was concerned, only Guo Er knew a little bit. Their method was very rough. They roughly set a location, dug a hole, and then directly exploded it.

This method is actually very dangerous in terms of professional techniques, but where do Guo Er and the others know this?

It was probably because Guo Er had good character that day, or maybe it was for some other reason. In any case, they really managed to dig a hole in the ancient tomb, and they succeeded in getting inside.

They said they had entered, but as soon as they did, they were completely shocked because they appeared in a long corridor.

Guo Er was a bit dazed with the flashlight in his hand. He muttered, “What is this? Isn’t this tomb room just two ear chambers and one main chamber? Why is there a corridor here?”

This is why they were so scared!

They had never seen a large tomb before, and even when Guo Er ran away with someone twice, all he saw were more “rooms.” How could there be a long corridor right after entering?

“Brother, this tomb looks a bit special. Otherwise, let’s leave,” said Jiang Yao, the last one to come down. As soon as he entered, he was scared. He was more careful than Guo Er and the others. When he shone his flashlight, he discovered that the corridor was too evil, mainly because of the evil carvings.

All of them were short, green-faced, and fanged. Not to mention that there were also carved faces that looked like they were smiling, which made people feel uneasy.

To be honest, they are not afraid of corpses. They have seen many skeletons in their line of work, so this is just the same. However, here, just a normal tomb passage makes them feel uneasy.

Facing Jiang Yao’s opinion, Han Niu didn’t say anything. He was the one in the group who didn’t say anything and just followed the group. Guo Er spat out some saliva and wanted to say something to boost his courage, but in the end he didn’t say it. He knew better than anyone else that the few of them were just “countryside types” and couldn’t compare to real tomb robbers.

Only Lao Du, who lit a cigarette, said, “A few living people, are you afraid of a dead person who can’t move? The only thing to be afraid of in a cemetery is poison gas and traps. Before we came down, we let off some gas, and you can see that the smoke can be lit, which means nothing! As for traps, they haven’t been used for so long, so what’s the point of being afraid?”

Guo Er looked at Lao Du and thought to himself, “I clearly taught you this, but you’re using it to teach me a lesson instead.”

But even so, Guo Er didn’t refute Lao Du. He knew that Lao Du had a stupid son at home, and he was planning for his stupid son, wanting to get more money for his stupid son.

As for himself, he could not let go of the dream of becoming rich overnight!

“Lao Du is right. We’re already here, so why go back? Let’s not look at these strange drawings on the wall and just go,” said Guo Er, who was also a decisive person. After a short period of fear, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He was the leader of the small team, so once he had made his decision, it was hard for the others to say anything. Just as they were packing up and getting ready to leave, Jiang Yao Ma’er shouted, “Wait, I’d rather give everyone this to take with them.

Jiang Yao Maozi gave a few people black dog blood, which he thought was the most effective against evil spirits.

Guo Er didn’t object either, and each of them took a small bag of black dog blood, and then the several people walked along the long corridor with flashlights.

The tomb passage was quiet, and the few people had no interest in talking. Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the tomb passage, which seemed very depressing. The few people all tried not to look at the reliefs on the wall, but sometimes it was inevitable that the corner of their eyes would sweep over it, and their hearts would be tangled.

After walking for about 6 or 7 minutes, Jiang Yao Maozi stopped. He refused to go on. He said, “Erwa, it’s not that I’m overthinking it, but this tomb passage is really evil. When you walk here, it’s like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you. You know that I’m a yin-yang practitioner, and I’m particularly sensitive to this kind of feeling. Erwa, I’m not going to go on. I don’t want to risk my life for this little money.”

In fact, Guo Er also had this feeling, but he was the leader and had a lot of courage. He tried to ignore this feeling, but when Jiang Yao Mao said that, he hesitated.

He glanced at the ox, and the ox said, “I also feel like someone is staring at me.”

“Lao Du, what about you?” Guo Er asked.

Lao Du didn’t say anything, bit his teeth, and suddenly rushed over to Jiang Yao Mao’er, punching him in the face: “Are you a fucking shit stirrer? I worked hard for a year, didn’t make much money, and finally met a fat sheep, but you’ve been there all the time (talking nonsense), you’re just trying to make things difficult for me, you look down on me for having a stupid son, don’t you?”

Jiang Yao Mao was originally a weak-tempered person. When faced with Lao Du’s sudden onslaught, he dared not fight back, so he just huddled up with his head and cried like a wolf.

Guo Er was irritated, and he couldn’t say why. Anyway, since entering this tomb passage, an indescribable negative emotion has been affecting him. He shouted, “Hanniu, pull Lao Du. Jiang Yao Mao’er, don’t howl. Isn’t it scary to howl here?”

Han Niu listened to Guo Er’s words the most, and immediately went to pull Lao Du. Lao Du didn’t know why he was so angry that night, and Han Niu went to pull him, but he didn’t buy it. While the few of them struggled, they were against the wall, but they accidentally discovered that one of the walls had moved.

Guo Er’s flashlight happened to be shining on it, so of course he saw the change. He shouted, “Stop fucking around! There’s a way out! There’s a way out!”

Guo Er said that there was a way out, and usually when he touched something, he suddenly shouted that there was a way out. Everyone was stunned, and several people stopped moving and looked at Guo Er blankly.

Guo Er didn’t explain, pushed aside a few people, and went directly to touch the wall. He found that the wall had sunk in by two inches. It was a stone door!

“Come help!” Guo Er shouted, and the other three people also stopped arguing and immediately rushed to help. After all, Guo Er was not a professional tomb raider, but a person who was only half-way to being a tomb raider, and he was basically an amateur when it came to talking about it.

He didn’t understand that the real good stuff could never be behind the hidden door in the corridor. If it wasn’t a trap, then it was an ordinary burial chamber, or a fork in the road.

The stone door was actually heavy, but since it wasn’t very big, the few countrymen had more strength than the city people, and they really pushed it open.

The secret door was only half as tall as a person. According to the old rules, Guo Er was the first to go in. As soon as he went in, he gasped and shouted, “Hurry up and come in! We’re definitely going to get rich!”

After he shouted this, the other men were excited and one after another they all came in.

It was a small room, about 10 square meters, with rows of small jars lined up against the wall.

The room was not strange, and the jars were not strange either, but why did Guo Er say that they were rich? The reason was because of the jars on the ground.

The appearance of these pots is a bit strange. They are egg-shaped, with a bowl-shaped base and a lid with many small holes on it, like an incense burner.

Under the light of a flashlight, these pots all reflected a charming metallic luster. Upon closer inspection, there were strange characters carved on them. The characters were originally red, but I don’t know if they have faded over time.

Guo Er didn’t know anything about history, and he had no idea that such metal vessels had never appeared in history. Tomb robbers generally understand that if something is unusual, there must be a strange phenomenon, and they will definitely not touch those strange things.

But Guo Er didn’t know anything about history, but he recognized gold. From the fascinating reflection, he thought there was a room full of gold pots!

Even if they aren’t antiques, aren’t gold pots a sure way to get rich?

The room was quiet, with only the sounds of a few people swallowing. They didn’t pay any attention to the strange reliefs in this small room, and they certainly didn’t pay any attention to the strange place above their heads. Of course, another strange place was that the pots all had a larger protruding hole, and those holes were connected to pipes on the wall.

The tubes also seemed to be made of metal and reflected a charming luster. How could Guo Er and the others know what they were for?
