Early the next morning, just after dawn, Lao Jiang woke everyone up and said it was time to work!
We had a simple breakfast and followed Lao Jiang towards the north. Even after a night, everyone's excitement only increased, and everyone was excited to discuss the Yin Ruins.
"If the real entrance to the Yin Ruins is really hidden there, this discovery is enough to shock the whole of China! The first dynasty with written historical records is finally coming to light..."
Several archaeological experts talked endlessly about the Yin Ruins, their eyes filled with enthusiasm for this important discovery.
Although Lin Jianye also joined the discussion, what surprised me was that he always inadvertently brought the topic to the death article. As Lao Jiang said, Lin Jianye seems to be far more interested in Wen Tao than the ancient tombs at Yin Ruins.
But the question is, isn’t the Yin Ruins Lin Jianye’s lifelong dream?
This Lin Jianye is really weird.
In this regard, Lao Jiang only responded once and for all, neither criticizing nor agreeing, looking completely uninterested.
Not long after, we arrived at the place where the black bird disappeared last night - the third pole in the north!
Unlike the chickens that stand out from the crowd under the effect of fluorescence at night, at this moment, this white wax pole looks unusually ordinary during the day.
But this did not dampen everyone's excitement at all. Platoon leader Zhang curiously asked Lao Jiang if he could just dig down along this pole?
But Lao Jiang waved his hand and said, "Wait!"
Then he took out a mysterious cross-shaped tool from his backpack, but he saw that the tool was completely golden, with a handle underneath and a magnetic needle hanging horizontally above it.
"This thing..."
Before I could finish the question, Qiu Xiuxiu suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary Dragon-Seeking Ruler, right?"
Lao Jiang nodded, and Yin Ling'er came over, staring at the gadget like a curious child, as if it was the first time he saw it.
This made me understand that He Lanxue protected Yin Ling'er very well. He probably didn't take her to the ancient tomb a few times, so he had relatively little experience.
Lao Jiang patiently explained to Yin Ling'er: "The dragon-seeking ruler is a detection tool commonly used by ancient Feng Shui masters and tomb robbers when searching for dragon caves! Because of its unique design, it can feel the dragon veins of the earth and the surrounding atmosphere. Field, very spiritual.”
Yin Ling'er asked him if he was really that smart?
Lao Jiang hummed and replied: "Of course, it is said that in ancient times, Fuxi, Nuwa and even Dayu used the earliest dragon-seeking ruler to explore for water sources and ores. Because it is mysterious and unpredictable, it can be used to solve various problems. The difficult problem was transformed by a tomb-robbing genius and used in finding tombs. This genius is Wen Tao! "
Yin Ling'er nodded in understanding, and Lao Jiang looked at me. He was obviously explaining to others, but he hoped that I could remember every word.
"Li Jinglan, watch how I use it."
But seeing Lao Jiang holding the dragon-seeking ruler parallel to the ground beneath his feet, he closed his eyes and said: "Wen Gong's dragon-seeking ruler is a divine tool of heaven and earth. Yin and yang always respond, and the dragon's cave takes on its true form. This ruler is me." , this I am the ruler, the ruler and I are one, and can communicate with all spirits!”
At first, the pointer on the Xunlong Ruler remained level. However, after Lao Jiang finished reciting the mantra, the pointer actually started to move in full view of everyone.
Every time Old Jiang took a step towards the north, the shaking of the needle became more intense!
At this time, Lao Jiang obviously had his eyes closed, but he seemed to be able to see everything, walking back and forth with the steps of the stars.
He Lanxue told me softly that Lao Jiang has now entered a profound state of harmony between man and nature, so I must not disturb him.
Seeing Lao Jiang take several steps, suddenly, his closed eyes opened, and a light flashed in his eyes, as if he sensed something...
I stepped forward quickly and saw the pointer of the Xunlong Ruler in Lao Jiang's hand pointing to the ground. That place was about 20 meters away from the pole. I think the pole was used for rough positioning, while the Xunlong Ruler was used for precise positioning. .
At the same time, Lao Jiang sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths.
"Are you okay?" I was stunned for a moment and then asked.
Lao Jiang snorted at me: "I'm very good!"
Seeing his messy appearance, I let out a long sigh of relief.
Lao Jiang was too lazy to pay attention to me, but ordered everyone to dig downwards toward the location pointed by the Xunlong Ruler!
Everyone was overjoyed and immediately picked up the engineering shovel and pickaxe and started digging. The soldiers were very strong and raised a large handful of sand every time they lowered the shovel. Other archaeological experts also came to help.
However, as we dug more and more, everyone's expressions changed.
One meter, two meters, three meters!
A team of people dug down a full three meters, not to mention the tomb door, not even a single oracle bone was found.
The excitement was gradually replaced by disappointment. Even if everyone believed in Lao Jiang, they couldn't help but ask more: "Mr. Jiang, it's not that we doubt your ability, but in the past, how could something come out after digging for so long? Is it possible? Did Xunlong Ruler point to the wrong point?”
Lao Jiang was smoking at the side. Hearing these words, he raised his eyes and said, "Believe me, you won't be wrong."
If they have old ginger, they can only dig again.
Another meter, this time there were more questions, and even I couldn't help but look at Lao Jiang. After all, the Xunlong Ruler doesn't look like a precise instrument, so there must be a relative error.
I asked Lao Jiang if he wanted to think of other solutions.
Lao Jiang only replied to me with one word: "dig!"
Everyone continued to dig holes, but this time they were obviously not so willing. Instead, they felt that their efforts were probably in vain. The expressions on everyone's faces became ugly, as if they were trying to force Lao Jiang to surrender.
Qiu Xiuxiu, however, was digging hard. She kept comforting her companions: "Mr. Jiang, you still don't believe it? When we were like that back then, he was able to pull us out of the gate of hell. He can't be wrong this time."
Yin Ling'er was playing with insects and shaking her legs. After hearing this, she couldn't help but look at Lao Jiang: "Does that aunty like you?"
"Pfft!" Lao Jiang almost choked on the cigarette. Two wisps of white mist came out of his nose. He wanted to deny it but was speechless.
Looking at Qiu Xiuxiu again, she actually looked shy.
Old Jiang, Old Jiang, it’s really hard for me to understand that you can still have peach blossoms at such an old age.
After finally waiting for Lao Jiang to speak normally, this time he did not tolerate Yin Ling'er, but choked: "You little girl, you know what you like, so go play with your bugs."
After saying that, Lao Jiang walked up to He Lanxue with a flattering look on his face and asked her if she wanted to eat anything.
He Lanxue had a cold face. At this moment, the soldiers' screams suddenly came from the pit a few meters deep: "Dig, we found it!"
We hurried over and the soldier said that the shovel head hit something very hard.
Platoon leader Zhang immediately ordered everyone to continue. After a moment of burning incense, a huge bronze plate buried deep in the soil appeared in front of everyone, with a strange bird head carved on it.
The bird's eyes were slightly narrowed, and it seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but its face was very human-like, and it looked extremely weird and gloomy.
"Owl, that's an owl! You can't be wrong, here is the Yin Ruins!" Lao Jiang threw away the cigarette butt and said every word loudly.
