treasure hunter

Pei Miao finally returned to the bronze door. He took out a plastic box containing copper green from his pocket, opened it, handed it to Zhang Tongshou, and said, "Inside is a very spacious and long passage, about 3000 meters long. There are a lot of relatively new scratches, this is the patina I found on those scratches, it is basically certain that the Jiuding was stolen."

Zhang Tongshou took the plastic box, checked it carefully, and found that it was indeed copper green, and his hands were shaking with anger. Dean Lu and Dean Zhou no longer had a chance to take chances, and they were also very angry. Dean Lu asked: "Then Where does the passage lead to?"

Pei Miao said, "At the end is a big rock wall. I put my ear against the rock wall and I can hear the sound of water flowing. I think there should be some relatively large river or lake there."

"There should be no big lakes near here." Zhang Tongshou said, "Which direction is it extending?"

Pei Miao looked at the location of the faucet, recalled his direction in the passage, then pointed in a direction, and said, "Probably that way."

"That's over there..." Dean Zhou took out his compass, glanced at it, and said, "That's southeast."

"It's Luoshui." Zhang Tongshou said slowly, "The larger river in that direction must be Luoshui, and Luoshui is about six miles away from here."

"Yes! It must be Luoshui!" Dean Lu hurriedly said, "If the tomb robbers want to transport Jiuding away without anyone noticing, they must use a big ship."

"Let's check." Pei Miao said, "First determine roughly where the passage of Longzui connects with Luoshui River, and then investigate the ships that have stopped in that area recently. We will definitely be able to find out."

Hearing this, Zhang Tongshou turned his head without saying a word, and said, "Go, go back, report it immediately, and prepare for the search."

A group of 20 people came and left in a hurry. After they landed, Zhang Tongshou made more than a dozen phone calls in a row.

After he finished making the phone call, Pei Miao stepped forward and said, "Dean Zhang, I want to participate in this search."

Zhang Tongshou said: "No, this time the incident became serious, and the chief was also alarmed. The chief personally sent capable people to search, and the tomb robbers who stole Jiuding will definitely be caught. Hmph, these tomb robbers, when they are caught, Let them sit through the prison!"

Pei Miao said: "Dean Zhang, I want to try to see if I can find the passage connecting the water inlet of Luoshui. If I can find the water inlet, it can effectively narrow the scope of the search and improve the efficiency of the search."

Zhang Tongshou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and asked, "Are you sure?"

Pei Miao said, "I'm not too sure, but so far, I'm the only one who has been in that passage, and I can roughly follow the direction of the passage from memory and find the right direction."

"Yes, what you said is very reasonable." Zhang Tongshou nodded repeatedly, and said, "But you have to wait, because the relevant departments think that some of us have leaked secrets, and will send people over to control us, and then Interrogation, you have to pass the inspection before you can leave here."

"Oh." Pei Miao nodded and said, "It should be like this. I was actually curious just now, how did the tomb robbers know that there is a treasure here, and how did they know the structure under the cave? They seem to know better than us. It is too weird to be able to enter the cave from the water inlet of the Dragon Palace."

"That's right." Zhang Tongshou said angrily, "There is a high possibility that there is a traitor among us. If there is, we must find out this black sheep and let him accept the punishment of the law!"

Pei Miao asked: "Dean Zhang, last time I only told you and the other three vice presidents about Jiuding, did you...have you told anyone else?"

Zhang Tongshou sighed sadly when he heard the words: "I said, although we only talked to a few old colleagues, but I think...you know, everyone is very curious, and they will definitely ask. Those who know... Not less."

Hearing this, Pei Miao couldn't help frowning: "Why can't you hold on to such an important matter?"

"Everyone is a colleague who has worked together for decades..." Zhang Tongshou hesitated to speak, and finally waved his hands depressed, "Forget it, don't talk about it, this matter is my fault, I really deserve to die!"

Seeing him blaming himself like this, Pei Miao couldn't bear it, so she was busy comforting him.

That night, all of them spent the night in the archaeological tent area. Many new tents were added here, and Company Commander Hao led troops to guard them personally. Everyone here was not allowed to go out. In the vicinity, start to intercept the surrounding short-wave signals. If there is really an insider in the archaeological team, and now they have received the wind, they may send a message or make a call. As long as the insider does this, the technology team will be able to intercept the signal immediately. And arrest this person.

However, one night passed, and the people of the scientific and technological troops squatted in front of the instrument in turn all night, but found nothing.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a big man arrived, Tang Cheng came.

Tang Cheng came in a very high-profile way. He came by helicopter with only two special policemen, Wang Hao and Li Xiaoman. Bring the two of them here.

Tang Cheng first went to see Major Liu of the Science and Technology Corps and asked about the situation. Major Liu shook his head and said that no abnormal short-wave signals were intercepted.Tang Cheng nodded, didn't say much, turned and left, and went to the archaeological tent area.

When they came to the archaeological tent area, Tang Cheng shook hands with Zhang Tongshou. Although Tang Cheng's department was not big, in terms of rank, Tang Cheng was higher than Zhang Tongshou.

The next step is to call all the personnel, regardless of whether they have been in the burrow or not, or have participated in archaeological work, even the police officers who are patrolling the surrounding area, all come over and accept the inspection.

The inspection method is very simple, everyone just stands in a neat line.

Then, Tang Cheng asked one by one, the question was simple: "Did you reveal the secret of the crypt?"

Tang Cheng is the possessor of mental power of mind power. Although the question he asked was simple, it could open up the subconscious mind of the person being asked about the burrow. Tang Cheng took the opportunity to search his memory with mental power. Once the other party really leaked Tang Cheng could perceive the secrets of the Catacombs.

However, after dozens of people in the audience were asked questions, Tang Cheng frowned and looked at everyone, and said coldly: "Do it again!"

Ever since, Tang Cheng asked the questions one by one again.

This time, he searched more carefully and thoroughly with mental power, but still found nothing.

Tang Cheng finally set his gaze on Pei Miao, waved to him, and said, "Pei Miao, come here."

Pei Miao came to Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng led Pei Miao to the side, and asked softly, "Is that you?"

Pei Miao asked in surprise, "Leader, did you take too much medicine today? How could it be me?"

Pei Miao was the only one who dared to talk to his immediate superior like this.

Tang Chengdao: "Then why I searched with my spiritual power, but I didn't find anything. Among these people, only you have extraordinary spiritual power and can hide your subconscious mind."

Pei Miao was annoyed and laughed: "You can't find it, so you think it's me? You know, I reported this crypt, and what's more, how do you know that I'm the only one with extraordinary mental power? Maybe someone pretends to be a pig Eat a tiger."

Tang Cheng shook his head and said, "Impossible, as long as the opponent's mental strength is strong, I can feel it when I search."

Pei Miao said: "Then there is no inner ghost. Isn't that a good thing? Is it necessary to find an inner ghost to be comfortable? The tomb robber can accurately find the water inlet of the underground palace. This alone shows that the tomb robber The amount of information we have far exceeds ours.”

Tang Chengdao: "If the tomb robbers knew that there was a big tomb here, why didn't they do it?"

Pei Miao said: "You ask me, how do I know, maybe they only know where the water inlet is, but not where the crypt is."

"Wait a minute!" Tang Cheng raised his hand to stop him, and asked, "How do you open the water inlet of the crypt you mentioned? Is it from the inside or the outside?"

Pei Miao shook her head and said, "How do I know this? I have to go outside the water inlet to find out."

Tang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll trust you for now, but don't let me know that you did it, or I won't let you go, and I will keep an eye on you."

He gestured as he spoke, pointed to his eyes with two fingers, and then pointed to Pei Miao.

Pei Miao felt that this guy was just here to make a joke, and said with a smile, "You can stare at you however you like, anyway, I'm upright and I'm not afraid of slanting shadows."

Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows: "I hope so." After speaking, he turned around and returned to the crowd.

Zhang Tongshou asked Tang Cheng: "Tang Department, when will the review start?"

Tang Chengdao: "The review has been completed, and there is no ghost."

"Ah?" Zhang Tongshou said dumbfounded, "The review is over? When did it happen?"

"Just now." Tang Cheng said, "I asked them questions one by one, and they all answered in the negative. Just to be cautious, I asked them twice."

"This..." Zhang Tongshou was stunned for a while, and then murmured, "Is this a bit too... a joke?"

Tang Cheng immediately put on a face: "President Zhang, please pay attention to your words."

"I, I'm sorry." Dean Zhang hurriedly said, "This matter is not trivial, it is related to the national treasure..."

Tang Cheng interrupted him: "I know this matter is very big, so I am very cautious, reviewed it twice, please believe me, there is no ghost, in fact, you should be happy, if there is a ghost in your museum , you, the leader, can hardly escape the blame."

Zhang Tongshou said: "As long as I can find the national treasure, even if I am implicated, I am willing."

Tang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, you have to know that our department is very special. I just reviewed it with special abilities, and I reviewed it twice, so there will be no mistakes. "

Hearing what he said, Zhang Tongshou remembered that Tang Cheng was not an ordinary person, and instantly felt relieved. He nodded and said, "This time your department is also involved in the task of searching for national treasures, right?"

"That's for sure." Tang Cheng said, "This time we are the main force, I have to go, my men have already gone to Luoshui."

Zhang Tongshou said: "That...Pei Miao also wants to participate in the search for the water inlet of the crypt, after all he is the only person who passed through the water inlet of the crypt."

Tang Cheng turned his head and glanced at Pei Miao, then waved to Pei Miao: "Pei Miao, follow me."

Without further ado, Pei Miao hurried forward and left here with Tang Cheng.

After not walking far, Tang Cheng asked Pei Miao, "Since you have entered that water channel, you should know the general direction of that channel."

Pei Miao nodded: "I roughly remember, but the underground is very different from the ground after all."

Tang Cheng asked: "Then how do you think you should look for it?"

Pei Miao said: "First find the location of the underground palace on the ground, then determine the location of the water outlet, and then find the general direction of the water outlet based on my memory of the water passage, and then search slowly after narrowing down the area. Of course, search for ships The work can be carried out at the same time, without delay."

Tang Cheng nodded: "Okay, then first find the location of the underground palace on the ground, where is the underground palace?"

Pei Miao pointed to the north side, and said, "Over there, it should be on the back of the mountain, about [-] meters deep from the surface."

"Wow, it's so deep." Tang Cheng said, "Then let's walk there."

Tang Cheng walked in the front, Pei Miao followed him, and Li Xiaoman and Wang Hao followed behind them.

After bypassing the tent area, they came to the top of the ancient tomb of the Qing Dynasty unimpeded. Pei Miao found a spot, squatted down and probed it with the Sky-Mending Hand, and confirmed that the spot was above the entrance of the crypt. Then he He began to adjust his orientation, and finally faced the true north, saying: "When we were below, the speed of the boat was 25 yards, and we traveled for 7 minutes. When we drove south for more than three minutes, we turned to the right at a 60-70-degree angle. bend……"

He was using the speed of the ship to roughly calculate the location of the landing site.

Finally, he pointed to the north-east direction and said, "This direction is about two kilometers away from us. That's where we landed in the crypt. Let's go there first."

Tang Cheng took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Old Deng, the plane is coming. We are in the north-east direction of you, on the mountainside."

After waiting for less than 2 minutes, the helicopter arrived. Tang Cheng took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Old Deng, there is no way to land here. Look at the direction I pointed and fly towards that direction for two kilometers. If there is an open space there Just land."

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he pointed the direction to the pilot, and the pilot replied: "Received" and drove the plane to the direction Tang Cheng pointed.

Pei Miao and the others went on foot.

Fortunately, the distance of two kilometers is not very far. When they arrived at the place, they saw that there was a large area of ​​wild grass, and the grass on the ground was waist high.

The four of Pei Miao and the others boarded the helicopter, and when the helicopter rose to a high altitude, Pei Miao began to count the punctuation points of the Dragon Palace again.

The punctuation position of the Dragon Palace is relatively easy to determine, because the route is simple and the direction is relatively clear. As for the bronze road that rotates down, it is after all a rotation, and the plane distance is not large.

Soon, Pei Miao directed the pilot to fly towards the Dragon Palace punctuation he guessed.

After arriving at the designated location, there was a muddy puddle below, and the area covered by this muddy puddle was actually about the same size as the Dragon Palace. Pei Miao had reason to believe that although the Dragon Palace was buried [-] meters deep underground, it was still alive due to the loss of the energy of the earth veins. As a result, it is almost difficult to grow plants above it. It is reasonable to say that some reeds and weeds should be easy to grow in the muddy mud, but this muddy mud looks dark from the sky, and there are no plants, so that's fine. , can accurately locate the location of Dragon Palace.

Pei Miao happily said, "It's just right to have a plane, now I'm more confident."

Tang Chengdao: "Don't be too busy to be happy, tell me, which direction will you go next?"

Pei Miao did some calculations secretly, pointed to the south-east direction, and said, "Over there!"

Tang Cheng looked in the direction Pei Miao pointed, which was in the direction of Luoshui. There seemed to be some buildings over there, like a sluice.

Tang Cheng immediately said: "Fly over and have a look."
