Tomb Robbery: Successor to the King, starting in Yunnan Worm Valley

Chapter 454 Dragon Head
  However, these are not very attractive to Wang Ye.

What interested Wang Ye was that these green bricks actually contained traces of strange spiritual power.

And it has the power of thunder and fire.

And these tomb bricks with the power of thunder and fire were obviously fired in the same brick kiln.

Qingxi kiln.

By coincidence, this brick kiln should be located in Qingxi Town.

Wang Ye knew that Qingxi Town was a mining area.

There were few people farming nearby.

There isn’t much soil either.

Very few bricks are fired in kilns in mountainous areas.

Mainly in places with thicker layers of civilians, there are more brick kilns.

Baking bricks in a kiln is also a technical job. Otherwise, the baked bricks will not be waterproof and will rot as soon as they are soaked. This will definitely not work.

Moreover, the soil used for burning bricks cannot be made by just any clay master.

The best clay is the so-called yellow clay.

After the yellow mud is dug out, it is dried in the sun and completely dried.

Then use a wooden stick and mallet to carefully break it into small pieces and pick out the gravel.

Then it is placed in a special mud pool and soaked in water for three days and three nights. After it is completely soaked, it is dug out and trampled by manpower, stirring evenly, so that it can become mud that can be used to bake bricks.

These things have been secretly passed down between bricklayers and bricklayers since ancient times.

Even in the later generations that Wang Ye has experienced, this information cannot be found on the Internet.

Among them, the recipe of brick and mud is a secret that is not passed down.

It needs to be mixed with different proportions of plant ash, limestone and even some shell powder. The properties of the fired bricks are completely different.

All kinds of rough pottery, black pottery, red tiles, and blue bricks are all made in this way.

To be able to build a brick kiln in Qingxi Town and bake a large number of green bricks, the required soil must be specially transported from other places.

At least some of it needs to be shipped in.

The soil in Qingxi Town is not enough.

So why bother? The best option is to build brick kilns outside and then transport them in by water.

The only possibility is that Qingxi Town has special materials that are not available in other places.

And this special material cannot be stored away from Qingxi Town for a long time.

The green bricks fired with this special material have special effects.

Wang Ye saw clearly that the biggest effect was to bring out the faint thunder and fire energy in the green bricks in front of him.

These fires will drive away the moisture in the tomb passage and chamber.

Keep the tomb passage dry for a long time.

Originally, in this area of ​​Wu Gorge, the use of this green brick was limited.

This place is already humid and rainy. No matter how angry these green bricks are, they can force the moisture away, but it will not help.

A heavy rain came and everything was ruined.

But Dixian Village is different.

Dixian Village itself is built in the belly of the mountain, and it won't rain here.

Even if there were underground water veins, Feng Shigu would definitely divert the underground water veins here when he was building Dixian Village.

Compared to replicating Qingxi Town in the belly of a mountain, digging canals to divert water is not a big project.

The humidity here is relatively much lower than in other places, so this kind of strong green brick is still very effective.

Then the problem is coming.

What is the special material that can increase the thunder and fire energy in the green bricks?
  Wang Ye frowned.

The biggest feature of Qingxi Town is the various mines.

It is definitely not a new thing to find some strange ore materials in the witch salt mine here.

However, being able to carry such a heavy anger and being inseparable from Qingxi Town can only make Wang Ye think of one direction.

Flame ghost!

It is a strange existence that lives deep underground and is rumored among the miners in Qingxi Town.

Even the legendary Wu Xian Tomb was built to suppress such weird things.

This thing is older than Dixian Village, older than Wuling Yishan King, and even older than the existence of Wuxian. Wang Ye suspected that before humans existed, this flame ghost already existed deep underground in Qingxi Town.

It's just that for some reason, it has never been able to come out of the ground.

According to Wang Ye's judgment, Yangui is most likely the projection or descendant of some ancient god.

Then there must be something related to Flame Ghost inside these blue bricks.

It might be the blood of the Flame Ghost, or it might be the Bone Powder of the Flame Ghost or something like that.

Wang Ye couldn't tell what it was exactly yet, so he could only make a rough guess.

Wang Ye noted down the brick kiln where the green bricks with spiritual power were located, Qingxi Kiln.

Unfortunately, there is no record of its exact location.

Wang Ye has no more clues at the moment and can only continue to move forward.

Fatty Wang, who was walking at the front, held up a wooden board as a shield.

I don't know if I hit something, but suddenly there was a sound of gears biting in front of me.

The squeaking and rubbing sound was heart-piercing.

However, after the noise continued for a while, there were no strange changes in the tomb passage.

Fatty Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Ye felt a little strange.

Not far from the tomb passage, there was a dangerous aura.

Wang Ye immediately asked Fatty Wang to throw a fluorescent stick out.

The glow stick is bright enough and doesn't generate heat.

The only drawback is that the light is green and somewhat seeps into the tomb passage.

But it doesn't matter now. Anyway, there is green light everywhere in the tomb passage. It is no different from the underworld, and there is not much green light.

After Fatty Wang listened to Wang Ye's words, he took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack and folded it in his hand.

The glow stick glows bright green.

Fatty Wang threw the fluorescent stick forward.

It was thrown twenty meters away in one fell swoop.

Even thrown out of the tomb passage.

It turned out that about twenty meters ahead, the tomb passage had reached the end.

After exiting the tomb passage, the space immediately became spacious, about three or four cents wide.

It's also two feet high, and I don't know if it's almost touching the ground.

In the space at the end of the tomb passage, a huge gatehouse appeared.

It is said to be a gate tower, and its shape is somewhat like a tomb gate, and some is like an ancient border gate tower, that is, the Shanhaiguan Jiayuguan type.

A pair of wooden doors in the middle.

There are many copper nails on the gate, which look very similar to the copper nails on the gate of the Forbidden City.

The shape is similar to that of normal people, but larger than that of ordinary people.

There is also a long dripping eaves sticking out in front of the stone gate.

There are six faucets sticking out from under the dripping eaves.

The faucet is made of wood and is not very finely carved.

Looks very fierce.

What is very distinctive is that the black hole of Longkou is actually the entrance of a cave.

The dragon also has rings of iron hoops on it.

At this moment, there was actually green fire burning and jumping in the dragon head's eye sockets.

It looks like a ghost dragon from the underworld.

Wang Ye took a look and took a breath of cold air.

The mechanism that Fatty Wang touched just now is most likely related to these wooden faucets.

This thing is quite well preserved, there isn't even much dust on it, it's obviously just stuck out.

Moreover, the fire in the eye sockets may have been ignited not long ago.

Fatty Wang was still surprised and couldn't help but ask Wang Ye and others behind him.
