Chapter 1: The Boy in the Grave

In the dark night, a few people sneakily walked along the gap between the bamboo forests by the moonlight, and the person who walked in front lowered his voice and said to the back:

"Little Liu, bury less when you plant explosives for a while. This may be a big tomb, and it has never been opened, there must be a lot of treasures inside, don't blow the treasures out of the fire. You kid must be careful, otherwise we will be busy for more than two months, you know?"

Listening to the voice, this person should be forty or fifty years old. A man whispered:

"Third grandfather, don't worry. This is what we have practiced in the army, and if I am second in our regiment, no one will dare to be in first place, and you will see in a while! I promise that I will only blow up the stone beams in front of the tomb gate, and as for the tomb gate behind, there will not even be a single slag down. ”

The person at the front said "En" softly and continued to walk forward by the moonlight. After walking for a while, a voice that sounded a little honest asked in a low voice:

"Third grandfather, why should we enter through the tomb gate? Wouldn't it be possible to make a hole in the side and enter? Why bother so much, it looks like an archaeological one. ”

The person at the front paused and whispered:

"You can't remember how many times you have been taught, this tomb is more than a thousand years old, such a large tomb has not collapsed for more than a thousand years, and so many tomb robbers have not been able to steal it, which shows how strong it is. If we make a hole in the side, how much explosives will we use, and the police will not be called in if the movement is too loud! Besides, a big tomb like this is usually full of treasures, and how many treasures will be destroyed if we make a hole from the side! The treasures in this tomb are enough for our whole village to eat for three lifetimes, so you should be careful for me. When the tomb door is opened, they quickly retreat out, and the big tombs that have not been opened are full of poisonous gas. Be careful not to be poisoned, even the king of heaven will not be able to save your life at that time. ”

The people behind cautiously agreed, and continued to walk forward with the middle-aged man. After about two hours, the group of people came to the front of a hill, which was only about twenty or thirty meters high, but the bamboo on the mountain grew unusually lushly, and there was almost no space that no one could use. To the east of the hill is a mulberry forest, to the west is a small river, to the south are a few plane trees that look to be hundreds of years old, and to the north is a gravel-strewn wasteland with few plants growing. On the south side of the hill was cleared a clearing, and around the clearing was a lot of dirt mixed with black lumps that looked like inferior coal. A hole had been dug in the middle of the clearing that could accommodate a man in and out, and the entrance was obvious, but it was obvious that no one would have noticed it in a place where only wild beasts usually came.

Several people gathered at the entrance of the cave, and the middle-aged man took a chicken from a young man's hand, tied a rope to the chicken's left leg, and threw the chicken in. A few minutes later, the middle-aged man dragged the chicken back and saw that the chicken was still alive before he was the first to go down the hole, and then two people also went down the hole with a large backpack full of backpacks, while the others waited quietly at the entrance of the hole.

The middle-aged man carefully turned on a mining lamp in front of him, walked in the thief cave for two or three minutes, and then passed through the thief hole and entered a passage made of huge stones, the passage was only a short seventeen or eighteen meters. At the end of the passage is the tomb door covered with earth, and you can faintly see the gold inlaid text on the tomb door. A wide stone beam stretched in front of the tomb door, cleverly blocking the footsteps of the tomb robbers. On the stone beam, you can see the curses carved by the tomb robbers of the past generations and the traces left by the tools used in anger, and there are several skeletons near the stone beam, I don't know which dynasty and which generation of tomb robbers remains. The middle-aged man said to the two young men who followed him:

"You should be careful, this kind of tomb will have some mechanisms more or less, after so many years, there may still be mechanisms that are not broken, don't forget that your father-in-law died like this, it's better to be careful." ”

The two young men nodded and cautiously approached the stone beam, only seventeen or eighteen meters away, but they walked for more than twenty minutes. When they arrived in front of the stone beam, the two young men quickly put down their backpacks, took out a large number of detonators, leads and tools from the backpack, and began to punch holes in the stone beams to place the detonators. After being busy for more than half an hour, the two young men pulled the lead and retreated. The middle-aged man said with concern:

"Ready, don't blow it all up. ”

A young man confidently replied:

"Don't worry, Third Grandpa, we know the explosives we loaded. Let's get back. ”

The middle-aged man watched the two young men for a long time before they got into the thief hole, and the two young men kept pulling the lead and followed behind the middle-aged man. Just as they crawled out of the robbery hole, the two young men lit the fuse, and the flame disappeared into the darkness quickly like a black snake with blood-red eyes screaming, and with a low muffled sound, a stream of air rushed out of the robbery hole, and then the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke penetrated into the noses of several tomb robbers. Flames burst out of the cave, but were immediately extinguished. Several tomb robbers took a few steps back in surprise, and the middle-aged man asked the two young men with explosives not far away:

"This, what the hell is going on!

The two young men were speechless for a long time in surprise, and the middle-aged man said angrily:

"If the babies are all blown up, see if I don't break the doglegs of you two little bunnies!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man was about to drill into the thief hole, and a simple young man hurriedly said:

"Third Grandpa, didn't you say that there is poisonous gas in the tomb?"

The middle-aged man almost roared loudly:

"Even if there is poisonous gas, this fire will burn out! Hurry up and get in! Otherwise, the treasures will be burned out! Why did I bring you out with you! Why don't you come in quickly!"

After speaking, he went into the thief hole, and several young people looked at each other and followed into the thief hole. The cave was filled with a pungent smell of gunsmoke, and the walls of the cave were slightly hot due to the burning of the fire. Several young people followed the middle-aged man closely, and the light of the miner's lamp was now unusually dazzling. A few minutes later, several grave robbers emerged from the hole and entered the tunnel. The stone beams had been reduced to rubble, the largest of which was no larger than a fist, and the tomb door, which had been filled with dirt, had been cleaned, and it was covered with an inch of square text embedded in gold, shining with alluring brilliance in the light of the miner's lamp.

Despite the explosion, the tomb door did not move like a stone wall. The middle-aged man let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and scolded with a smile:

"You two boys are really unambiguous when you play with explosives, no wonder your second grandfather asked you to come. Let's go, open the grave. ”

The honest young man pointed to the words on the tomb door and asked the middle-aged man:

"Third grandfather, what kind of word is this, why does it look weird?"

The middle-aged man casually glanced at the words on the door and said casually:

"That is Qin Xiaozhen, which is the text used by Qin Shi Huang when he unified the world and unified the language. This tomb is more than 1,000 years old, and it may even be more than 2,000 years old! If it is opened, our village will become rich. You guys have to be careful, and you'll run back as soon as the tomb door opens."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the confined tomb door opened by itself, and a cold air blew out of the tomb door, as if the tomb door was about to swallow up several tomb robbers with a big open mouth. Several tomb robbers sat on the ground in horror, huddled together, and two young men even peed their pants in fright. Every second now seemed like a thousand years to these tomb robbers, as if time had stopped.

A flame appeared in the burial chamber with a "whew", and by the faint light of the flame, it could be discerned that it was an everlasting lamp that had been lit. Immediately after that, one lamp after another was lit, and an amazing scene unfolded before the eyes of the group of tomb robbers. In this ancient tomb that has been sealed in the dust for more than a thousand years or more, there are no valuable burial goods, some are just piles of skeletons, and at the top of the skeleton is a huge sarcophagus, and the first lantern is placed on the offering table made of skeletons in front of the sarcophagus. Even the lantern was made of human skeletons and human shins, although the lantern was not large, but for some reason several tomb robbers more than thirty meters away could still clearly see the lines on it.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang," With the sound of skeletons crashing, a young man with a bronze sword in his arms walked out from behind Skull Mountain. The boy looked to be only about ten years old, and the clothes on his body were constantly turning into debris and dust falling off his body as he walked. The young man's handsome god-like face has no expression, his thin body is like a scholar studying hard behind closed doors, his skin is smooth and delicate, so that all girls will go crazy with jealousy when they see it, and his hands are as slender as girls. The young man's body is like being carved from the top Hetian mutton fat jade, and it is warm and feminine that people can't believe that this is really a human body. The hair on the boy's whole body was all snow-white, as crystal clear as snowflakes, and the scarf on his head that bound the hair was suddenly broken, and the snow-white hair naturally spread out and half-hid the boy's handsome face. Two rays of light shot out from the young man's murderous black eyes, and the cold gaze seemed to freeze all the people who met it in an instant.

As the boy moved forward, the skeletons under the boy's feet continued to shatter, perhaps because they were too old, and they had become very fragile and could not withstand any blows. The young man stopped on the inside of the tomb door, looked at a few tomb robbers, and coldly reprimanded:

"Who are you waiting for! Dare to disturb the rest of my master! Don't you know the prestige of my master? How long has it been since the world has forgotten the prestige of my master, it is unforgivable!"

As the boy scolded the skeleton and began to shatter, the entire skull mountain completely collapsed in ten minutes. The sarcophagus also slowly descended with the collapse of Skull Mountain. The boy let out a loud cry, and all the shattered skeletons continued to gather under the sarcophagus as if they were being held by a large invisible hand, and after a few seconds, a hill of ashes was formed under the sarcophagus, holding the sarcophagus. The young man's face turned pale, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Several grave robbers screamed and rushed towards the cave, hoping to get out of this place that was even more terrifying than the region. But when they were still four or five meters away, the boy had already appeared at the entrance of the cave, blocking their only exit.

The young man turned his back to them and said coldly:

"Where are you going? Do you want to leave like this after disturbing my master's rest?"

Several tomb robbers retreated in horror, and a twenty-four-five-year-old tomb robber screamed and turned and ran towards the tomb, but before he stepped into the tomb, the young man had already appeared in front of him, holding a sword in his right hand and cutting off the tomb robber's head with a sharp blade in his left hand. The young man casually threw the tomb robber's head into the tomb, and the body flew out with a kick, flying into the robbery hole after flying a distance of more than ten meters. The remaining grave robbers fell to their knees in horror. The middle-aged man plucked up his courage and said:

"Please spare us, we don't know whose grave it is, we just want to take some treasures and sell them for money. Please let us go! We really don't know whose tomb it belongs to!"

The cold, almost materialized murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire tomb, and the young man shouted violently:

"No one in the world knows the prestige of my master, Wu Anjun! You dare to say that you don't know who your master is! If you don't kill you today, how can you regain the prestige of my master!

Hearing the three words "Wu Anjun", the middle-aged man was frightened and his soul was not possessed, which one of the people who was named Wu Anjun in ancient times was not a famous general who commanded a million troops, the most famous of which was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, and Bai Qi, a famous general of Qin State, who was known as the god of killing, this is something that all tomb robbers must keep in mind. Legend has it that Bai Qi has the ability to kill countless people in his life, as long as he is angry, the murderous aura released by him can even cause the heaven and earth to change, even the gods in the sky will tremble, and in the end, there is no way for King Qin Zhao to have to kill Bai Qi's whole family. Although there are constant rumors that Bai Qi's grave has been found, they are all fake tombs, and no one has ever found Bai Qi's real tomb. There is a dead rule for tomb robbers, no matter how many treasures are in the white tomb, it must not be said, although I don't know when the rules have been handed down, but it has been passed down for a long, long time. Few people still remember this rule, and only a few tomb robbers still follow this ancient precept.

The middle-aged man kept moving backwards with his trembling body, and a water mark remained on the ground of the tomb with his movement. After being busy for more than two months, not only did he not get any treasures, but he dug up a demon, which can be said to be the extreme.

The boy appeared like a ghost beside the young tomb robbers who were paralyzed on the ground, and easily plucked their heads like picking wild fruits and threw them into the burial chamber, and kicked their bodies into the robbery hole. Just as the boy was about to take off the middle-aged man's head, the middle-aged man's eyes were wide open and fell to the ground, his lips were black and purple, and pale green foam kept spitting out of the middle-aged man's mouth. The boy snorted coldly and kicked the middle-aged man into the thief hole. The middle-aged man was already frightened, and he was dying of a heart attack.

The boy strode into the tomb, the door of the tomb slowly closed, and the gold-inlaid words glittered in the light of the miner's lamp. The one-inch square Qin Xiaozhen recounts the exploits of the tomb owner Wu Anjun in his life.
