Chapter 31 [Find a Helper] (1)

The sparrow's body swayed, and with the swing of the rope, it successfully entered the vertical hole. It was even darker inside, and it was unable to see five fingers. Although the sparrow was bold, he dared not enter blindly and threw the rope back. Luo Lie was sure that the sparrow had successfully entered the second hole, so he entered the hole and slid down the rope. Because of a clear goal, Luo Lie's sliding speed was obviously much faster than the sparrow. Although the rope was thick enough, for the sake of caution, the two still slid one by one to avoid the rope breaking due to the heavy burden.

The sparrow shook the torch and guided Luo Lie. Like her, Luo Lie also entered the narrow hole of the well wall. After he stood firm, he used a hammer to weld the drill into the brick gap of the well wall, and then tied the rope to it.

The blind man shouted into the well and said, "How is it? What's the scenery below?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "It's so good!"

The blind man said again: "It's so dark below, sparrow, beware that someone is planning to you!"

The sparrow spat, "I think everyone else is like you?"

Luo Lie behind him said, "There are no one here, only you and me." He held an excellent and infatuated expression on his face.

"You dare!" The sparrow raised the torch, and the flames reflected the red of Luo Lie's face. Luo Lie subconsciously closed his eyes: "Hey, don't make a fuss! Look behind it!"

The sparrow snorted, then turned the torch behind him, but saw a man in the Qing Dynasty official uniform standing not far behind him, with a pale face and green hair, his arms raised, as if he was about to pounce on him at any time. The sparrow screamed in fear, thinking that he had really encountered the zombie mentioned by the blind man. The torch in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. The sparrow pounced in the direction of Luo Lie regardless of everything, hugged his body tightly, and shouted: "Zombie..."

In the darkness, Luo Lie Nuan Yu Wenxiang hugged her arms, and he gently patted the sparrow's shoulder and said, "Where are zombies? You can see clearly." Luo Lie raised the torch and took a photo of the man in official uniform. In fact, he had already seen that it was a doll just now.

The sparrow mustered up the courage to turn around and look at it. The man was still motionless, maintaining his previous position. When he looked closely, he was a doll carved from wood. His face was painted with white paint and his body was wearing official uniforms. The reason why his face turned green was because the underground environment was damp and moss was raised.

The sparrow realized that she was still holding Luo Lie, and her pretty face couldn't help but feel hot. Fortunately, the surroundings were dark, and Luo Lie couldn't see his expression clearly, otherwise she would be ashamed to death. She quietly let Luo Lie go, picked up a torch from the ground without saying a word. She walked forward first, and passed the doll, she was both ashamed and angry, and naturally took her anger on the doll, raised her feet and kicked the doll to the ground, and spat: "Let you pretend to be a ghost!"

The doll had decayed, and the sparrow kicked it and fell to the ground. The head rolled down along the ground. Luo Lie chased the head with fire. The wooden head rolled nearly twenty meters before it hit the earth wall and stopped.

Luo Lie couldn't help but wonder. Luo Xingmu dug such a long hole below. Could it be that this place was really the place he used to collect Minguyi back then?

The sparrow had already walked forward first, and Luo Lie followed her silently. The two of them came to the wooden head and found that the hole was turning to the right, but the hole was much lower than before, and they had to bow down to pass.

The sparrow was about to continue moving forward but Luo Lie grabbed his arm. He thought Luo Lie wanted to stop him from moving forward, but he saw that Luo Lie had already entered the cave with his cat's waist first. The sparrow felt warm. Luo Lie should be worried about being in danger, so he chose to walk in front of him.

The two of them moved silently in the cave one by one. They walked about two hundred meters and had reached the end of the road ahead. This place was much wider than before. It was a circle with a diameter of two meters. It was dug into an arch shape from above, and the highest point was nearly three meters away from the ground. Luo Lie straightened his body, stretched his arms, and moved his waist. He felt that his figure was not suitable for tomb robbers and digging graves.

The sparrow illuminated the surroundings with torches, and saw a lot of pots and jars and several wooden boxes around, all of which were not locked. When she opened it, she saw that there were many bronzes inside. One of them was full of Liao coins, and all the coins from the Shen's period were coins. The sparrow had a lot of knowledge in archaeology. It was obvious at a glance that these coins should all come from water pits. They were of good quality and had no green rust. Most of them were like new, with clear words, but the sound was not as crisp as the dry pit. This was because of annealing.

Luo Lie remembered that there was a divine ingot with the word "Liu Bi" engraved on the sparrow. It seemed that these Liao coins and the copper coins she wore came from the same ancient tomb. This should be the place where Luo Xingmu collected Mingu. After a brief look at the collection inside, there seemed to be nothing valuable. Luo Xingmu spent so much energy to dig such a long hole, was it just to collect these things? Is it a bit of a big deal?

The sparrow whispered to himself: "These should be obtained from his tomb robbery, and they are actually collected so secretly." It has been inferred from the shape of ancient coins that these coins come from water pits. If they are obtained from Luo Xingmu's tomb robbery, the tomb should have been water-permeable.

Luo Liedao: "See if there are any particularly valuable babies?"

The sparrow looked through for a while, shook her head in disappointment and said, "There is nothing valuable, let's go back."

Luo Lie pulled out a knife and inserted it into the earth wall with a slight insertion. He tried every foot of the wall. After repeated three times, the blade encountered obstacles. He used the blade to scrape the soil layer. The soil layer was very shallow, less than two centimeters thick. In a short while, the true appearance below was revealed. It turned out that there was a wooden door hidden behind the soil layer, which was cypress wood, and there was a copper lock on the door. Judging from the appearance of the lock, it should be new.

The sparrow said curiously: "How do you know there is a door hidden in it?"

Luo Liedao: "I have been digging this tunnel for a few years, and Luo Xingmu will not be so bored that he can make some valuable things so deep." In fact, it is not difficult to find the flaws in it. Just use your brain to find out the unreasonable points.

The sparrow sighed and said, "You look like Sherlock Holmes now." He secretly admired Luo Lie's powerful observation skills.

Luo Lie smiled, he tugged the copper lock with his fingers and whispered: "It seems that he needs to take an axe down."

Sparrow gently patted his shoulder and signaled him to move aside. He came to the door, took out an iron wire, stabbed it into the keyhole, and opened the copper lock without much effort. Luo Lie then remembered the relationship between Uncle Fu and her. The two of them were so close that they must have learned a lot of stealing skills from Uncle Fu. Prying the door and locking is just a pediatrician for her.

The sparrow opened the door and made an invitation gesture. Luo Lie smiled and nodded and raised the torch to explore inside. The flames did not go out or weaken, proving that the air inside had sufficient oxygen content. Then he walked in with confidence and boldness.

The sparrow followed Luo Lie and entered it. Everything in front of her made her stunned. The cypress door separated two completely different worlds. In front of her, there was a square corridor with a length and width of two meters. The entire corridor was made of hard granite and extended forward. On the wall next to her, it was engraved with Bibles in French.

The sparrow's face was full of incredible expressions. She could not imagine how Luo Xingmu did it. Such an underground project could not be completed with one person's strength.

Luo Lie said: "If I'm right, this place should be underground of Nanguan Catholic Church." Luoche Wood Factory and Nanguan Catholic Church are very close. They have just walked more than 200 meters, which means that they have already arrived at the bottom of the Catholic Church through the cave.

The sparrow said: "No wonder we didn't catch Luo Xingmu. He sneaked into the underground of the Catholic Church through this tunnel and left through the secret tunnel."
