Chapter 209: The Tomb Under the Air-raid Shelter

Gu Wenxuan took a look underground in the air-raid shelter.

Although the ancient tomb is only a few meters away from the air-raid shelter, this is a real stone mountain, not mud, so it is easy to dig a hole to the ancient tomb.

Of course, with his kung fu, he could easily escape from the air-raid shelter, but it was indeed difficult to lead the hole to the ancient tomb in a legitimate way and then walk out of the tomb through the dark hole.

And how could he tell these people that there was a passage to an ancient tomb below? He couldn't tell anyone about his supernatural eye.

It was already midnight. After a period of commotion, the people in the air-raid shelter gradually became tired and fell asleep.

Beggar Jianghu also fell asleep leaning against the wall of the cave.

Gu Wenxuan took this opportunity to enter his own space, and then appeared again in the ancient tomb below.

When he arrived at the tomb, Gu Wenxuan smelled a damp and moldy odor.

The tombs were quite large, and on the walls of several of them there were many warrior figures carved, some holding swords, and some holding banners.

Judging from the appearance, the owner of this ancient tomb should be a general.

Judging from the carving style, it should be from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Gu Wenxuan thought that this should be the general who defended the mountain city during the Southern Song Dynasty.

A big war broke out here back then, and it lasted for a long time. It was the battle with the Yuan army.

Gu Wenxuan walked back and forth between these tombs, but didn't see any precious things. The burial objects here were only weapons and the like.

These weapons and other things are all made of metal, so most of them have rusted.

Wu Wenxuan saw that there was nothing interesting in this ancient tomb, so he no longer paid attention to this tomb chamber, and he walked forward through the passage of this tomb chamber.

This tomb was built halfway up the mountain, and there was a passage leading forward. He estimated that this tomb was built through this passage by someone who had deliberately dug a big hole in the heart of the mountain.

They should enter and exit through this dark passage. It was probably built like this on purpose to prevent tomb robbers.

Gu Wenxuan walked along this dark passage for about an hour or two before he saw the entrance to the cave.

As he approached the cave entrance, he saw that it was completely covered with thatch.

He lifted the thatch and saw that the entrance to the cave was on a cliff. He leaned forward to take a look and was shocked.

Outside the cave entrance is the turbulent Jialing River.

"Fuck, it turns out that the entrance to this cave is on the cliff on the river bank. No wonder such a strong wind blew in."

It can be seen that it probably took a lot of labor to build this tomb.

It would take a lot of manpower and resources to build such a long passage. It would probably take more than a year or two to complete. I guess the general inside was a very powerful person at that time.

Gu Wenxuan looked at the river surface at the entrance of the cave. It should be at least 200 meters away. If he wanted to go down from this cave, it would probably take some effort. He then looked up.

It is even farther away from the cave entrance, more than 500 meters away.

Gu Wenxuan stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the occasional fishing lights on the river.

That was the fishermen's small boat, pulling in their nets and setting up their nets to fish on the river.

Large ships rarely pass through these places because it is night and the lowest part should be full of dangerous shoals. Large ships travel during the day and usually dock at some important dock at night.

Gu Wenxuan originally wanted to jump down if a large ship passed by the river below.

You can also steal other people's ropes and put them in this cave, and let those people hang down.

It seems that this method is not feasible. He thought about it again, but there was no way for the time being. Besides, the wind at the entrance of the cave was really strong. He retreated back to the passage and scanned the cave back and forth with his supernatural eyes.

Suddenly he saw that there were many branches on both sides of the tunnel, but they were covered by the soil in the tunnel due to their age.

Gu Wenxuan was very surprised. The rivers here were so high. Could it be that the river water had ever flooded this tunnel?

The silt in this tunnel is very deep. Although it has dried up now and there is no problem walking on it, it must have been flooded before, so there is so much flooded silt. Could it be that the mountain has ever leaked?

He used his supernatural powers to see what was in these forks in the road.

He took out his sword that contained the soul warrior.

The knife was extremely sharp. He gently inserted it into the entrance of the stone caves covered in mud. With a click, a large hole was cut in the entrance of the stone cave by his precious knife, just like cutting mud.

It was only at this time that Gu Wenxuan discovered that the doors of these branch roads were all made of stone.

After the stone door was cut by his sword, some musty-smelling air blew out from inside.

Gu Wenxuan blew for a long time to get rid of the musty smell before he went in. He was not afraid of being poisoned, but this musty smell, which smelled like rotten fish and shrimp, was really unpleasant.

It took him a while to walk into the fork in the road. There was a lot of mud in it, but he saw a lot of corpses and weapons in the fork.

Could it be that a war had taken place in this fork in the road? Otherwise, why would there be so many dead bodies?

The further he went down, the steeper the slope became. Finally, when he passed a fork in the road and looked down, he found that the exit of the fork was right on the river.

It turns out that this ancient tomb was probably not a tomb at first, but a place for garrisoning troops.

At the lowest point facing the river, the passage is extremely huge, and there is a very wide hole inside.

When Gu Wenxuan went in, he even saw many iron boats tied in the holes, connected to the water surface.

However, those iron boats had already rusted and could no longer be used for sailing.

There are some small canoe-like boats carved out of solid wood that can still be used, but each boat can only carry a few people.

But even so, Gu Wenxuan was very happy. Since he had these canoes, he only needed to transport a few people out and then find an official organization in other places to ask them to organize large ships to transport the people in the tunnel out. He would have completed his mission.

Gu Wenxuan happily climbed up the tunnel again and returned to the middle of the ancient tomb chamber. He had to think of a way to legally and reasonably destroy the stones several meters above the ancient tomb so that the people in the air-raid shelter could go down through the hole.

Suddenly he thought of using his precious sword to chip away at the stone on top of the ancient tomb piece by piece, until he stopped when the stone was less than half a foot thick and less than the bottom of the air-raid shelter.

Looking at the thickness, he thought that if he stomped on the air-raid shelter vigorously, he might be able to stomp away the half-foot thick stone. Then they could use this passage to reach the river. As long as they reached the river, they would be saved.

After all the preparations were done, Gu Wenxuan returned to the young beggar Jianghu and fell asleep.
