Chapter 21: Longbei Ancient Village 11
When the cripple and Wei Ye heard this, they couldn't help but tremble.
They only felt that the pit was gloomy, and there was a putrid smell, and there were corpses and bones all around, some sitting and some lying, and the two of them were weak in heart, and their faces were even more bloodless at this time.
Wen Baiyu could almost hear the sound of their teeth clattering.
The cripple trembled his voice and continued: "At that time...... At that time, the tools in the village were not advanced, so we also brought some tools, and the village chief asked the villagers to dig holes together...... We ourselves carry explosives, but we are afraid of alarming the police, and we are also afraid of damaging the tomb of King Xiang...... We didn't dare to use explosives at that time, so we let the villagers dig until the third day, when it was really 17 meters, and the hole was finally cleared. ”
The lame man paused and said, "The thief hole is connected to the stone door of the ear chamber, we are all very excited, Sun Xia is the first to go in, I stopped her, because if it is really the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there must be a lot of poisonous gas accumulated in it, I will ...... I'll just ...... I said that a villager went down to the cave to see, and he went for a long time and never came back, and then someone went down, or ...... I still didn't come back, it turned out that there was really poisonous gas under the tomb, and the villagers who had advanced into the ear chamber were all dead......"
The lame man's throat slid up and down, and he stumbled: "I was scared at the time, and the village chief obviously saw that we were not digging for oil, so we played stupid with the village chief, and the work was temporarily suspended that day." Sun Xia and we planned to give sleeping pills to the villagers to make them sleep, and that night we brought an exhaust fan to remove the poisonous gas from the cave first, and then went into the ear chamber...... Climbing in from the ear chamber, it was the main burial chamber, and we opened the coffin, which was empty, and we found this jade plaque...... Although there are a lot of good things in this ancient tomb, and it is indeed like something from the Western Zhou Dynasty, there is no slave and prisoner of war in the whole tomb, and there is no coffin with corpses in it, which is obviously also a suspicious grave of King Xiang. Although we didn't find the real tomb of King Xiang, we gained a lot, so we took the antiques we collected to the ground. ”
The lame's face gradually turned pale......
A group of them went to the ground, and were thinking about how to divide the goods, when suddenly a six or seven-year-old child ran over and snatched the jade plaque while they were not paying attention.
You must know that this jade plaque is the most valuable of these antiques, how could the three of them let go of the jade plaque, and they wanted to coax the children to return the jade plaque to them at that time.
But the child shouted at them, saying that the jade plaque is a sacred object of the dragon mound, a treasure that protects their village, and no one can take it away.
At that time, the three of them were angry when they heard this, and they thought that the child was cursing them viciously, and they were afraid that the child's yelling would alarm the people in the village, so Sun Xia dragged the child up, pressed him to the mouth of the well, and threatened him to let go, and if he didn't let go, he would throw him down.
The child seemed to be iron-hearted, Wei Ye heard him shouting all the time, and he was angry, so he covered the child's mouth and chopped off the child's hand with a knife.
The chopped hand still grabbed the jade plate, and fell next to the stone well with a "snap".
At that time, the lame man was frightened by the child's screams, Sun Xia really threw the child into the well without doing anything, Sun Xia and Wei Ye combined, because the child shouted too loudly, it was inevitable that he would be discovered, if they were really discovered, the rest of their lives would be over.
There are only about 20 people in the village, which is a very closed and backward small village, and it can even be said that apart from the three of them, no one else knows about the existence of this village.
So they decided, in order to disdain to show it, to kill these villagers, throw them into the thief hole one by one, and then bury the thief hole.
Wen Baiyu listened to this, and felt shuddered, and couldn't help but say, "Are you still human beings doing this!"
The cripple cried and said, "I...... I didn't want to, I was so scared...... But then, something strange happened!"
The cripple said that they were sure that there were only about 20 people in Longbei Ancient Village, and there could be no other survivors, but twenty years later, Longbei Ancient Village had become a famous tourist attraction, and the owner of the inn looked exactly like the village chief back then.
Twenty years ago, the village chief was seventy years old, and in the past twenty years, the village chief's face has not aged at all.
Wen Baiyu always smiled when he thought of the old man in the inn, and he couldn't be a little creepy, and said, "Is it a zongzi?"
The cripple and Wei Ye were both frightened by Wen Baiyu's words.
Wan Qi Jinghou frowned and said, "It's not zongzi, their bones are all here, maybe they are ghosts." ”
As soon as he said this, the cripple and Wei Ye were even more frightened, crying and saying: "We have all said what should be said, please pull me up! I don't want the jade plate, I will give it to you! I will give it all to you! I don't want any of it!"
Wen Baiyu said: "People like this should be buried here alive, which can be regarded as retribution." ”
Wan Qi Jinghou looked back at him, Wen Baiyu coughed dryly twice, and said, "Uh...... Am I saying too vicious?"
Wan Qi Jinghou let out a rare laugh and said, "No, we have the same idea." ”
"Don't!"
The cripple and Wei Ye both shouted, and the cripple shouted: "Don't! Don't go! I still have a treasure here!" Don't go, Sun Xia's map, Sun Xia said it was a baby, she said it was drawn by his master, there are many tombs on it, and there are treasures in the tomb that can make people immortal. I borrowed it at the time to see it, but Sun Xia didn't know how to guard against it, but in fact, I was looking for an opportunity to make a copy! You pull me up, and I'll give you this map!"
Wen Baiyu obviously didn't believe him, and looked at the cripple questioningly.
Wan Qi Jinghou frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and then said, "Deal." ”
"Hey, hey. Wen Baiyu gently patted Wan Qi Jinghou's back and said, "Why did you agree to them." ”
Wan Qi Jinghou didn't speak, just put Wen Baiyu on the ground, and then said, "Wait a minute." ”
Then he walked to the edge of the dirt pit, took out the rope from his backpack, and threw it down, Wei Ye grabbed the rope first, tied it around his waist, and was pulled up by Wan Qi Jinghou, and then the lame man was also pulled up.
The two of them escaped death, they were lying on the ground and couldn't move, and the cripple quickly took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Wan Qi Jinghou.
Wan Qi Jinghou unfolded the map, on which were painted large and small tombs, there were dense markings next to it, and a phoenix totem mark was drawn in the lower left corner, and then the words "phoenix blood" were written in small characters next to it, and then the handwriting behind it was a little blurred, obviously because of scribbling.
Wan Qi Jinghou immediately frowned, Wen Baiyu saw the change in his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Wan Qi Jinghou put the map in his backpack, then picked up Wen Baiyu on his back and walked towards the depths of the cave.
When the cripple and Wei Ye saw that he was leaving, they immediately got up from the ground and chased after them.
Wen Baiyu lay on his back and whispered, "What kind of people are they, why are you saving them? That map is very important?"
Wan Qi Jinghou shook his head, frowned and said, "I don't know ......"
Wen Baiyu's forehead twitched a few times, and he seemed to be surprised by Wan Qi Jinghou's occasional questions and answers.
Wan Qi Jinghou frowned slightly, added, and said, "I seem to be looking for something, but I have forgotten what I am looking for......"
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but shudder, and said, "In such an evil tomb, let's stop telling cold jokes!"
The two men walked forward, and soon the robbery hole was blocked due to the collapse, and they could only step on the stone slope of stones and earth blocks to climb up, and when they climbed to the top, there was a cemetery.
The slope was not steep, and there were many large rocks that had collapsed, forming natural stone steps, and the crippled man and Wei Ye also staggered to catch up.
The tomb road is very long, and the road is very calm, there are no forks, no organs, no zongzi and dried corpses.
They had been walking for ten minutes when suddenly a faint light came from a distance.
"It's light!"
"It's light! It's the exit! We're out!"
The cripple and Wei Ye both shouted, and they couldn't wait to rush forward, Wen Baiyu's face also showed joy, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a "click".
Wen Baiyu has been extremely sensitive to the sound of the mechanism, and when he hears this voice, he subconsciously knows that it is the mechanism.
Sure enough, as soon as the cripple and Wei Ye ran over, the stone slab of the tomb road suddenly turned up from the middle, and the two of them didn't even have time to shout, so they fell down the stone slab at once.
Wan Qi Jinghou reacted quickly, and immediately stopped, the lame man and Wei Ye had disappeared into the tomb, Wen Baiyu lay on Wan Qi Jinghou's back and looked down, only to see that the bottom was not too deep, but there were many metal spikes in the big pit, and the cripple and Wei Ye were lying inside, almost ten thousand arrows pierced the heart.
Wen Baiyu trembled in fright, and Wan Qi Jinghou said, "Don't look at it. ”
Wen Baiyu hurriedly shrunk his neck, his voice trembled a little and said, "The tomb is overturned...... It's upside down, how are we going to get there?"
Wan Qi Jinghou didn't answer him immediately, but turned his head to look behind him, Wen Baiyu wondered what he was looking at, and also turned his head to look, but in the darkness, he only saw a flash of red light, and then there was no more.
Wen Baiyu said, "What are you looking at?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said lightly: "That kid." ”
Wen Baiyu was agitated at first, and then looked back, but the back was still empty, and there was nothing but darkness.
When Wen Baiyu turned his head, he heard the sound of "boom", the ground where they were standing suddenly shook, and then turned slowly, Wen Baiyu shook and grabbed Wan Qi Jinghou's shoulders, and the tomb road cracked from the place of the chain flap and slowly turned, about forty-five degrees, spliced onto another tomb road, there was still light in front, it was the exit.
Wen Baiyu smacked his tongue and said, "It's really evil." ”
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "It was that kid who was showing us the way. ”
When Wen Baiyu came out of the tomb, it was already dawn, he was a little uncomfortable with the sunlight outside, his eyes were illuminated painfully, and he hurriedly covered it with his hands.
Wen Baiyu's leg was injured, and there was medical care in the village, but it was not very advanced, it was just a temporary treatment, and he had to go to the nearest town hospital.
When Wen Baiyu left, he suddenly seemed to remember something, opened the bedside table in the room, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
Wan Qi Jinghou turned his head to look, and Wen Baiyu hurriedly blocked the cabinet with his body, so as not to let Wan Qi Jinghou see the impure things in the cabinet.
Wen Baiyu muttered in a low voice, "It's really a condom......"
As he spoke, he took out the condom, then gently put the jade plate in the cabinet, and then pushed it up the cabinet, letting Wan Qi Jinghou carry him out of the room.
Wan Qi Jinghou carried his luggage and Wen Baiyu on his back from the second floor of the inn, and just saw the boss sitting behind the counter, and there was a seven or eight-year-old child lying on the counter.
The child's round apple face, pink cheeks, looks very cute, and the round eyes are the color of obsidian.
The boss smiled and said, "This is the little grandson." ”
There are no bloody pupils......
There is no broken hand......
Wen Baiyu also smiled and said to the boss: "Old man, bedside table, remember to take a look." ”
The old man was stunned, obviously not knowing what kind of dumb riddle Wen Baiyu was playing.
Wan Qi Jinghou walked out with Wen Baiyu on his back and said lightly: "They are not people. ”
Wen Baiyu said with a smile: "But they don't harm good people. ”
Wan Qi Jinghou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right. ”
The bus was already waiting, and Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that it was also good for his leg to be broken, that is, Wan Qi Jinghou was called a dragon to serve, don't look at him always with an iceberg face, but he was simply meticulous.
Wen Baiyu began to get sleepy after eating the breakfast that Wan Qi Jinghou brought to the car, and fell asleep on Wan Qi Jinghou's shoulder in a daze, and was not polite to him.
He was about to fall asleep, when a question suddenly came to his mind, and he asked as if he had an eggplant in his mouth: "You said that they are already ghosts, but they are still alive like us, and they can't see the difference, how did you do that?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "Someone is using spiritual energy to support them. ”
Wen Baiyu was dazed, he was too sleepy, and he didn't have a brain, so he asked, "Who is it?"
Wan Qi Jinghou looked out the window, the car had already started, and an old man suddenly ran out of the inn, the old man was holding a jade plate in his hand, and the old man looked at the direction of the car with tears, and then knelt down reverently......
Wan Qi Jinghou retracted his gaze, looked sideways at Wen Baiyu, who was already asleep and snoring, clasped his arms with both hands, leaned his head back, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, but said lightly: "It's a grave, maybe." ”――
