Since the tools were all prepared by Hongxing, Baiyang and Tie Niu had nothing else to do, so they just went to buy salt and glutinous rice that day, and went to a temple on the outskirts of the city to ask for a bag of incense ash.

After that, he didn't go out again, and Poplar took out his grandfather's notebook and looked at it seriously.

From today's incident, he can realize that he lacks too much knowledge of inverted buckets, or archaeology, and if he wants to not be as ashamed as he is today, he must accumulate knowledge as soon as possible.

And to accumulate relevant knowledge, it is of course the best shortcut to read the notebook left by Mr. Bai.

It's a pity that there is not much talk about tomb exploration and digging in that notebook, but Poplar already knows that all kinds of zombie monsters recorded on it are real, and with this notebook, it can be said that in the process of tomb hunting and archaeology in the future, he is equivalent to one more magic weapon to save his life.

Iron Bull was a man who had a headache when he said he wanted to read, so he first found his single-barrel shotgun and wiped it a few times, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Waiting for the next day to get up early, Poplar remembered the lesson of being chased and bitten by a blood wolf, and first loaded his trouser pocket with glutinous rice.

Seeing that he was in trouble, Tie Niu couldn't help laughing at him, and said, "Don't you don't believe in ghosts and gods? Every time I say big zongzi, you still make fun of me for believing in your grandfather too much, why are you so superstitious now?"

"It's called being prepared!" said Poplar, forcing him to fill his iron calfpants pocket with glutinous rice, add a small salt packet, and carry the ash packet with the loose salt packet.

Naturally, he had to bring his own black sword, as well as a few old items that his grandfather had in his small wooden box, such as the old bell that was black in color but still had a crisp sound.

Iron Bull brought the single-barrel shotgun that he had polished to a shiny finish.

In order not to be obtrusive, the two of them packed the black sword and shotgun in a cloth bag.

- At that time, the control of firearms was already strict, but there were still a lot of shotguns and Q guns among the people, as long as you didn't openly carry a shotgun on the street, basically no one cared about you.

Soon Hongxing came over and drove a half-new pickup truck.

According to Hongxing, after her uncle threw away the job of robbing the tomb, he took advantage of the reform and opening up to buy a second-hand small truck to help people pull goods.

Her uncle was about forty years old and named Xu Hua. With a dark face and a sturdy body, he looks like a pretty shrewd man.

Poplar Tie Niu naturally followed Hongxing and called that person Uncle Xu.

The man didn't say much, and just told them to get in the car and set off.

Hongxing naturally sat in the cab, while Poplar and Iron Bull sat in the cargo box in the back.

After a bumpy ride of nearly three hours, the pickup truck arrived at a small town.

To the surprise of Baiyang and Tie Niu, Xu Hua quickly contacted an old mountain man, who brought a donkey and carried a few tools in the truck box.

Of course, it is impossible to work in vain, Hongxing quietly told Baiyang that she needs to give the old mountaineer a reward of fifty yuan.

Although the poplar felt a little expensive, he didn't say much, and directly ordered the money to the old mountain people.

I bought something to eat in the town, and then the old mountain people led the donkey and led the poplar and others into the mountain.

It was only at this time that Hongxing told Baiyang and Tie Niu that the tomb was in a large mountainside near the village of Guopo.

Legend has it that the prince of the Tang Dynasty originally lived in seclusion near Guopo Village, but his descendants moved to the outside of the mountain after choosing a feng shui treasure to bury him.

However, Guopo Village was formed by other people who moved into the mountains hundreds of thousands of years later, so even the villagers of Guopo did not know that there was a rich Tang Dynasty tomb near their village.

Not wanting them to talk, the old mountaineer who walked in front turned around and urged repeatedly, saying that he had sent them to Guopo Village today, and he wanted to rush back to the town before dark, so he should try to go as fast as possible.

Poplar caught up with the old mountaineer in a few steps, and talked with the old mountaineer intentionally or unintentionally.

The old mountain man was paid fifty yuan, probably happy in his heart, and soon opened the conversation, and asked the poplar mysteriously if he was upside down.

Poplar is a little strange, because ordinary people may not hear the word "inverted bucket" in their lives, so Poplar asked the old mountain people why they asked like this.

The old mountain man said: "I don't know when it began, some people say that we have a big tomb in this mountain, or the Tang Dynasty, so people often go into the mountain to find the tomb. I used a donkey to pull goods into the mountains, so I also met this kind of person once, and I still knew from them that the people who dug up ancient tombs called tomb robbery not tomb robbery, but inverted bucket. ”

Poplar didn't expect to be in such a hurry, and hurriedly asked the old mountain people what happened to the group.

The old mountain people refused to speak.

Xu Hua, who had been silent, became impatient and said: "You old man either don't mention it first, since you mention it, you should be happy!

The old man was obviously walking in the mountains, and there could be no other people around him, but he still glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "Those people never came out again! I heard that they were killed by something in the tomb, who knows?"

Hongxing was originally walking behind Bai Yang with Tie Niu, but at this time she grabbed a few steps and asked, "Have you heard that the old man has heard that there were a few inverted buckets entering the mountain last month, and there were two who didn't come out?"

When the old mountain people heard this, they did not immediately answer Hongxing, but turned their faces to me and asked, "You ...... It's really a reversal of the law, and I heard that the investigation is very strict now, if you really want to be upside down, I don't dare to take this risk with you!"

"We are not upside down!" Tie Niu hurriedly answered, "We are official archaeologists, and we are openly going into the mountains to look for tombs!"

The old mountaineer's face was suspicious, and Bai Yang said: "It's true, we are indeed an archaeological team, and this time we entered the mountain to find an ancient tomb to protect!"

The old mountaineer turned around, glanced at Hongxing and Xu Hua again, and finally nodded and said, "I said, why are there still little girls who are upside down? Besides, a few of them are clean, and they don't look like they can dig people's ancestral graves!"

Bai Yang couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "Can the old man tell us about a few inverted people last month?"

"Actually, I also heard that although those people passed through the town, they did not ask for a consignment in our town, but they drove a truck themselves, and the truck also brought two horses. Later, they used these two horses to carry several large bags of goods into the mountain. Although I only glanced at it from a distance, I knew that it must be inverted. ”

"And what happened to them?" asked Poplar.

"Later...... I don't know! In short, those who have gone into the mountains to look for graves over the years have either come out empty-handed and have not found anything, or they have entered the mountains and never come out again. I listen...... The people in the village of Guopo who I am going to send you to say that there seems to be a female ghost in the ancient tomb who specializes in harming men. As long as the upside-down bucket goes, she will be left in the ancient tomb entirely, and I don't know if it's true. ”

The old mountaineer's words made Poplar sound a little hairy, after all, he was already convinced that there was indeed something strange in the ancient tomb.

But Tie Niu couldn't help but smile and said, "I've only heard that there are big zongzi in the ancient tomb, and I haven't heard of female ghosts!

Hong Xing glanced at Tie Niu and didn't make a sound, Xu Hua seemed to have something to say, but in the end he just shook his head.

Bai Yang estimated that Xu Hua had also encountered strange things when he was fighting backwards, but he didn't want to say it in front of the old mountain people.

Poplar naturally didn't ask, and a few people walked along the mountain road, occasionally only hearing the sound of the donkey snorting and the laughter of the iron bull.

After four or five hours of continuous driving, he finally arrived at Guopo Village at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

The old mountain people are probably used to walking on mountain roads, and they are not tired at all.

The poplar iron bull is all strong, and Xu Hua is also stocky, but he didn't expect that the red apricot was a woman, except for a blushing face that was more beautiful, and she didn't cry out in pain and tiredness.

That made Bai Yang more and more convinced that this girl had also practiced kung fu.

The old mountain people wanted to unload the inverted bucket tools carried by the donkeys and rush back, and Bai Yang and the others were afraid that he would leave, and if they could not invite the livestock to carry the goods in Guopo Village, it would be enough for them to carry so many tools into the mountains.

So Poplar discussed with the old mountain people if he could rent the donkey to them.

The old mountain people asked for 1,000 yuan to press the gold, saying that it was 50 yuan a day and that when they returned to the town, they would return the rest of the money after deducting the rent.

If the donkey is injured somewhere, the money will be deducted.

At that time, it was seven or eight hundred yuan to buy a donkey, and Bai Yang considered that if the donkey was lost in the mountains, the thousand yuan would be spent a little unjustly.

So I discussed with the old mountain people, and kept the donkey with a deposit of 800 yuan, and the old mountain people happily returned to the town alone.
