Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 255

We finished work at 03:30 in the evening, and here in Lishu Wasteland, we found nothing other than the four iron bells of the Iron Buddha Temple Pagoda.

I took a lot of effort to backfill and restore the tomb, including the color of the surface soil layer, the position and depth of the tombstone, and I tried my best to restore it.

I did it so that Baiyanqiong would not see it. I know that what I did was disgraceful. If Baiyanqiong knew about it, none of my friends would have to do it.

The wages of avarice is death.

I'm a grave robber, I'm a bad guy, not a good guy, but... I want to be friends with people too.

As I said before, the No. [-] Cotton Factory will be on holiday until March, and Tian Sanjiu asked us to stay in the factory during the day, looking for the background location of the third photo shoot that year.

Tian Sanjiu guessed that if he found the place, it should be either the Iron Buddha Temple Tasha or the Cast Iron Buddha, one of them should be hidden there.

The times are progressing and enterprises are developing.

Northwest China Cotton, from the first factory director Wang Xinggui in 58 to the current factory director Chen, I don’t know how many people have changed in the middle. Nearly 50 years have passed, and many places have changed a lot. If you look for some old employees who have retired Looking at it, it is estimated that there are some places in Ermian that they can't recognize.

Large warehouses, small warehouses, doffing rooms, production rooms, material preparation rooms, finished product rooms, offices, canteens, dormitories, equipment rooms, engine oil rooms, equipment rooms, parts warehouses...the legs are numb.

Many old houses were locked and the windows were opened too high. We couldn’t get in. On the way, we occasionally met workers who built sheds in the south factory area. When people asked us what we were doing, Tian Sanjiu said that the branch company came to inspect and asked which company it was from. For the branch, he said it was Daxing Dyeing and Weaving.

After one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Where have you been?" Tian Sanjiu looked around on the phone.

"Not there, you turn left, you can see a broken tractor as you go forward, we are here."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a middle-aged man in his 30s came running quickly with a bag on his back.

"Yo, I'm sorry Brother Tian, ​​this place is too fucking big, I'm dizzy."

Tian Sanjiu nodded: "Shunzi, have you received the money?"

"Got it bro, you're very kind." The man smiled.

"Don't talk nonsense, you follow us, as long as no one is around, I will open all the locked factories, whether it's a warehouse or something."

"No problem brother," the man patted the backpack he was carrying, and said with a smile that these locks are ordinary locks, it's a trivial matter.

The guy Tian Sanjiu found called Shunzi is a professional thief with a large-scale organization. He can’t accept the lock of the factory. It was an understatement to open.

Thanks to the No. [-] Cotton Factory's holiday, there was no one there, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to do this.

three hours later.

Tian Sanjiu looked around, and after a few tens of seconds, he looked down at the photo again.

"Shunzi, let's go, you know the rules."

The man nodded hurriedly: "Of course I know, Brother Tian, ​​then I won't bother you. If you need help, Brother Tian, ​​you can call me anytime."

After the unlocker left, Tian Sanjiu suddenly said, "I finally found it, and it's here."

"Huh? How do you know that?"

I turned to look around.

The place where we are standing now is a large warehouse, and the room is densely packed with all kinds of sundries, and there is a lot of dust.

Among them, the most piled up are all kinds of old equipment and old machines in cotton factories. There are so many of them that they can't be counted at a glance.It is estimated that these are the inventories of Ermian Factory for decades.

Brother Yu also asked how did you see it?

Tian Sanjiu looked up at the roof, and said with burning eyes: "It's just the feeling. My feeling tells me that something is here, maybe it's underground." He looked down at his feet.

The cement floor under the feet is a whole. Tian Sanjiu asked Hongyan and Brother Yu to go to the car to get things.

After Brother Yu and Red Eye left, only Tian Sanjiu and I were left in the big warehouse.

At this time, it was almost evening and the sun was setting. The windows of the warehouse were opened very high, and a bunch of afterglow of the setting sun shone through the windows, and some dust could be seen floating in the air.

Tian Sanjiu's eyes were bright | light, he squatted down and gently rubbed the concrete floor with his right hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This smile seemed familiar, and he also smiled like this when he saw Luo Jiashan in the wheelchair.

Brother Yu and Red Eye soon came back with a metal detector, and they also took a percussion drill that burns oil.

Use the detector to touch the ground and scan it inch by inch.

"Drip...drip..."

There was a response from the probe.

Brother Yu stretched out his hand and pulled the lead wire, saw the right position and directly mounted the impact drill, piercing through the concrete floor.

I don't know if Tian Sanjiu is also nervous, I just saw him watching from the side, smoking non-stop.

The impact drill pierced through the ground, and after digging down a few times with the shovel, it hit something.

"What is it?" Tian Sanjiu dropped the cigarette butt and ran to look.

"Is it a large cast iron Buddha of several hundred kilograms?"

"Is it the Great Tasha?"

When I saw what I dug up, my face suddenly became ugly.

Damn, it's a rusty washbasin....

Tian Sanjiu kicked the washbasin angrily, and said loudly, "Look for it! Keep looking for it! It's definitely here somewhere!"

After closing the warehouse door, from the time the sun went down until it was so dark that nothing could be seen, we scanned almost every inch of the concrete floor with detectors for everything that was exposed.

Got nothing.

Except for the rotten washbasin dug up earlier, there is not even a root hair in the concrete floor.

The veins on Tian Sanjiu's forehead popped up, and he kicked the equipment angrily.

"Ok?"

He raised his brows suddenly, frowning as he looked at all kinds of old equipment and machines piled together.

"Wang Xiaoqin...Tang Xin...Bai Tingli..."

"Science Popularization Committee..."

Tian Sanjiu seemed to be in a daze, he kept pacing back and forth, muttering words.

"Snapped,"

He suddenly snapped his fingers, looked up at the roof and said, "I see... This used to be the second floor. Have you seen the old blackboards piled up in the west corner? Those were used by the Science Popularization Committee for publicity. The blackboard, not in the ground... go, go to the roof."

After we came out of the warehouse, we didn't turn on the light because we were afraid that we would be found using the flashlight.

Looking up at the roof of the big warehouse, Tian Sanjiu looked at Brother Yu and said, "Go up and send the rope down."

Brother Yu threw the rope he took from the car behind him, stepped back more than ten meters, and started running to speed up.

With his feet on the wall, Brother Yu directly grabbed the mouth of the water pipe with his super long wingspan.

With a vertical pull-up, Brother Yu stepped on the water pipe with his feet after changing hands, turned over and climbed up to the roof.

"Come up."

He dropped the coiled rope from the roof.

Red Eyes grabbed the rope tightly, relying on the strength of his hands, he kicked off the wall with one hand and went up...

The same goes for Tian Sanjiu, but I can't.

I dragged the rope and kicked against the wall, my face was flushed, my arms were almost exhausted, and I moved up bit by bit.

"hand....."

Huang Tianbao with red eyes was lying on the roof and stretched out his hand.

As soon as I grabbed his hand, I suddenly felt a strong force coming. I felt like I was on a rocket and flew up.

Tian Sanjiu was right. There were also a lot of old equipment piled up in a mess on the roof. Some of the equipment was familiar and some were not, such as dryers, looms, washing machines, fleece stripping machines and so on.

Tian Sanjiu walked quickly past these machines.

He finally stopped in front of a large cylinder.

This big cylinder is very similar to the thing on the head of the road roller. It should be used for picking cotton in the early years. It was pushed by a machine and rolled in the cotton field to collect cotton.

I don't know what the machine's scientific name is, or how many years it's been sitting on the warehouse roof.

Because cotton is to be picked, the big cylinder is hollow.

Tian Sanjiu took a step back and said, "Dabao, kick me away."

Red eyes have to be ordered to start.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Every time he kicked, I had the illusion that the whole roof was shaking.

"boom!"

Dust rose, and one end of the large cylinder was kicked in by the red eyes.

Tian Sanjiu waved away the dust, turned on the flashlight and looked into the tube.

Brother Yu and I also leaned over to look inside.

There was some black cotton in it, all rotten.

In the center, placed horizontally, hides a big iron lump under the upper circle.

this thing...

It was the 13th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, where the monk Yuetian of Linji Zong was buried.

The top of the tower where the sky is round.
