Chapter 82

    

ne thing, these people, we can’t afford to mess with them, we can’t afford to provoke their heads, Yao Yumen is also unapproachable, even his uncle Yao Wenzhong, is unapproachable…… Don't think too m..."Yúnfēng, how's the injury on your leg Can you walk Do you need me to carry you"

">

I gritted my teeth and stood up, enduring the pain.

"No need, big brother. I can handle it myself."

"

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Alright, he's a man. I'll walk slowly. If you can't keep up, just speak up anytime. Don't push yourself."

"

"

I nodded.

Below the mound of moths, this large tomb features a stone-walled chamber structure on the upper level and an underground cave structure on the lower level.

The mountain below is filled with underground rivers and some hidden caves, this structure is not simple.

The Sun brothers' torches were homemade, burning mostly clothes and dry twigs. They didn't burn for very long, and the flames were already starting to die down.

Holding torches, following the path along the edge of the stream, the Sun brothers led my sister Hong and me to a place.

Upon arriving, we saw a wall of rammed earth before us. It was a giant wall made of six-direction earth, with no doors or windows, just a solid wall.

Liuhe soil and King Kong wall are modern names, just like white ointment and green ointment. Ancient people didn't have these names.

The Tomb Robber's Trail has a cut in it.

Green ribbon white, wealth comes, three harmonies earth, bury blue sky, diamond wall, can't be broken.

The color of the Sanhe soil is milky white, with ingredients being glutinous rice juice and clay mixed with night soil.

This type of soil doesn't decompose for a thousand years, it's very hard and stable, and waterproof.

Above that, there's also four-compound earth and five-compound earth. It is said that there are even seven-compound earths, but no one has ever seen them.

The boss immediately recognized that this wall was made of liuhe soil. It's actually a known thing.

Three white, four green, five black, six yellow, refers to these colors after the mixed soil solidifies.

As for the ingredients in Liuhe, the boss said he could only guess five kinds.

Children's urine, copper water, clay, mulberry leaf powder, glutinous rice juice, and another unknown material, these materials are gathered together, repeatedly hammered and refined, mixed together and dried to become Liuhe soil.

Even in the past, it wasn't just Six Harmonies earth, but even Three Harmonies earth was expensive. For every additional harmony, the hardness increased by a point. That's why there has always been the saying that one bowl of Three Harmonies earth could be exchanged for one bowl of meat.

Five-element earth, six-element earth cast walls are called Diamond Walls. On official records, Diamond Walls have only been found once, still made of five elements. The tomb owner was Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.

Back then, it took the archaeological team a lot of effort to break through this wall of adamantine.

Hong Jie knocked on the ochre stone wall, frowning and saying, "Lao San, there's no way to deal with this. It's a Six Harmonies Yellow Diamond Wall. No one has ever been said to have encountered it in the line of work. Usually, if someone in our line encounters three-harmony earth, they use alum flour mixed with vinegar to soak it, but you guys didn't bring those things, did you"

"You guys couldn't possibly be..." Hong Jie suddenly raised an eyebrow.

The leader's face was gloomy. "Back then, behind the five-in-one earth diamond wall at Diling, lay the imperial tomb of Emperor Wanli. We've come this far, so if we don't take a look at the real owner here, how can we be satisfied"

Hong Jie raised her head and glanced at them, her brow furrowed. "At the end of the day, we're still in the underground palace. Two nine-point-five fire thunder tubes are quite powerful. Don't you fear that the underground palace will collapse, burying us all inside"

Of course, we’ve also considered that. But Xiao Hong, think about it this way: this underground palace has stood for over two thousand years without collapsing, which shows the quality is still very reliable. Both I and Lao San are confident in it.

"Well, then suit yourselves," Seeing the eldest brother was so determined, Red Sister finally nodded and stopped persuading him.

The "Six Harmonies Earth Golden Warrior" wall is designed to stop tomb robbers. If ancient tomb robbers encountered this, they would almost certainly have to take a detour. No trick, including using a grappling hook or any other tool, would work. Even masters who were skilled at discerning the location of treasure could not get in. To enter, no one would be able to do it without resorting to brute force.

Just saying, how was the Five-Combined Earth Vajra Wall of Dingling back then opened

That was money the archaeology team spent hiring sixteen strong villagers, each given a large hammer and an adze. They worked in shifts, changing every two hours.

Eighty, eighty.

Sixteen old men, after pounding for more than twenty days, finally knocked out a hole in the wall.engineering technology, many large-scale construction projects frequently resulted in accidents and fatalities during their construction. As people at that time were unaware of the underlying princip...
