Chapter 072: Ancient Tomb
Xiao Yu went in to greet the two, Ling Yi smiled and bowed slightly, but Li Zhang didn't raise his eyelids.
Ling Yi motioned to the guards next to him, and led Xiao Yu to the small shed next to him to sit down and wait. After a while, someone came, and because they were not far away, she vaguely heard that the two stone walls that sealed the tomb had been broken, and it was estimated that the last door was now seen.
"Stop, wait." Ling Yi said calmly.
It was almost noon, when the yang energy was at its peak, and everyone in the pergola retreated to the foot of the mountain and looked at the mountain from afar.
I saw a man dressed as a Taoist on the edge of the stone gate, I don't know what to do, there was a loud bang, the stone gate sank, the deep tomb appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and countless arrows shot out, causing the people watching the excitement on the side of the mountain to exclaim in unison.
Fortunately, everyone was on guard, and there was not much damage, only the person who opened the stone gate was hit by an arrow in his left arm, Xiao Yu didn't see his expression clearly at the bottom of the mountain, but when he saw it, he immediately waved his long sword, and cut off the arm of the arrow without hesitation, and suddenly the blood flowed, and his face turned pale and covered with cold sweat. The sergeant next to him hurriedly stepped forward to stop the bleeding and bandage it.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but shudder and turned his head.
This tomb is really too dangerous!
Li Zhang sent five tomb robbers found everywhere to enter the tomb first to explore the way. Soon after, a man came out, but his face was pale, and he couldn't speak for a long time when he was carried down. Li Zhang's face was very ugly.
Ling Yi had no choice but to let two more veterans of digging mounds in.
After a while, one of them came out and said: "There is a soul ladder in the tomb passage, and three people who entered it before have died, and the rest are afraid that they will also lose their way." This mausoleum is too weird, the villain is incompetent, and he knows that he can't complete the important task assigned by the general, so he comes out directly, willing to accept the guilt. ”
Li Zhang was furious and wanted to kill this person on the spot. Ling Yi hurriedly stopped it and asked the officers and soldiers to take it down.
Xiao Yu was apprehensive. Zhong Lang and Hua Yue haven't arrived yet. If only she had waited at the foot of the mountain, in case she had to enter the tomb as well...... The thought is chilling.
After another quarter of an hour, there was still no news from the tomb, and Li Zhang anxiously sent someone in. And this is when Zhong Lang and Hua Yue came calmly.
Today, Hua Yue was wearing a stone blue brocade robe, her eyebrows and eyes were covered with two-foot-wide ink satin, and her lips were pursed. Zhong Lang is still in an arrow-sleeved robe, with a tall posture and a cold and handsome face, but he is even more outstanding than Hua Yue.
Li Zhang said unhappily: "I have heard for a long time that General Zhong is a master, and he is good at asking hexagrams to calculate the five elements of yin and yang, and this treasure in the mountains is lacking such talents, why did you two arrive at this time?" ”
Zhong Lang said expressionlessly: "For such a big event, it is natural to choose an auspicious time to go out." ”
Li Zhang was stunned, and his face immediately turned pale, but after a while, he slowly exhaled and said, "In this case, I also ask General Zhong to go to the mountain to see what treasures are in the cave." ”
Zhong Lang seemed to have a look at Li Zhang, and looked directly at Xiao Yu and said, "You help Gongzi Yue up." ”
Xiao Yu was taken aback and blurted out, "I'm going too?" ”
But seeing Zhong Lang's calm expression, Ling Yi still nodded at him, and knew that he was in danger, so he had to go over and help Hua Yue to walk up the mountain according to his words, and felt that his feet were a little trembling.
Seeing Zhong Lang following behind unhurriedly, Xiao Yu asked in a sullen voice, "General Zhong, are you sure that my life is not in danger this time?" ”
"The girl will definitely turn evil into good fortune this time."
"That's what you said." Xiao Yu thought of the success of his calculation, although he didn't know whether it was a comforting word, his heart was a little relieved.
When they arrived at the tomb, the officers and soldiers guarding the vicinity hurriedly saluted. Zhong Lang bowed slightly and returned the salute and went straight forward.
Xiao Yu looked at the dark and deep tomb, a chill came out of his spine, and he was terrified: "Do you really want to go in?" ”
"You want to go in?" Zhong Lang asked.
"Nope." Xiao Yu immediately shook his head and waved his hand. Listening to him, there should be no need to go into the tomb.
"You don't have to push so hard, I won't fall." Hua Yue smiled.
Xiao Yu realized that he had changed from supporting Hua Yue to holding on to his arm, and hurriedly let go of his hand in embarrassment and held his arm again.
Hua Yue and Zhong Lang didn't go any further, but just looked at the tomb for a long time and then went down the mountain.
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them descended the mountain leisurely, as if they had come to play.
When Li Zhang saw Zhong Lang turn back, he immediately retreated.
Ling Yi didn't shy away from Xiao Yu and Hua Yue, and still let the two stay. Li Zhang glanced at Xiao Yu and Hua Yue a few times, didn't say much, and asked with a pleasant face: "General Zhong knows who is buried in the tomb?" ”
Zhong Lang said indifferently: "It's probably one of the two princesses, Yanxi and Yanqing, the daughters of King Wu. ”
"Looking at the tomb for a moment can lead to the conclusion that General Zhong is really a miracle." Li Zhang praised it, and then muttered, "Only three of the five princesses of the Xuande Rebellion have enjoyed their lives, and the cemeteries of these two princesses in Xiqing are indeed a mystery, I don't know if there are any clues in them." ”
"Yanqing was deeply favored by King Wu, and the reason why King Wen left it behind was to get the relevant secrets of the treasure house from her, until Yongkang changed, the two princesses disappeared, and later generations have not found their tombs."
Li Zhang nodded in agreement with Ling Yi's words, and said, "General Zhong has a way to enter and exit the ancient tomb safely?" ”
Zhong Lang shook his head.
Ling Yi said with a smile on the side: "The Marquis of the county must also know that General Zhong took a lot of effort to predict the flash flood some time ago, and it is difficult to come and observe it this time. ”
Li Zhang smiled reluctantly, turned his head and shouted, "Send someone in again!" ”
So Xiao Yu and Zhong Langhuayue left in a carriage, and they felt inexplicable on the way, and they didn't know why she came this time.
But it's still good not to have to endure the scorching sun outside. Xiao Yu looked at the ice basin placed in the corner of the carriage and handed Hua Yue a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Hua Yue untied the ink satin and said.
"It's just a matter of effort."
Hua Yue and Zhong Lang talked in a low voice, then suddenly turned their heads and said, "There is something I want to ask Miss Ayu for help." ”
Xiao Yu was very surprised, thinking of Li Zhen's incident last time, and said with a smile: "Young man Yue doesn't have to be so polite, just say it, if I can do it, I will do my best." ”
"The two of us want to enter the ancient tomb, and I hope the girl can go with me."
"What? That's not going to work! Xiao Yu was extremely shocked when she heard this, almost suspecting that she had heard it wrong, and subconsciously refused.
Hua Yue smiled slightly: "Hua Mou must be very careful not to let the girl have the slightest accident, then you just have to hold on to me." ”
Its smile is really like a bright moon shining on flowers, and it is extremely bright. Xiao Yu couldn't help but breathe, she didn't hear what Hua Yue was saying at all, she only muttered: "It's just a disaster!" ”
Hua Yue smiled when she arrived, and her face was slightly gloomy.
Xiao Yu immediately found out that he was in trouble, and knew that he had annoyed people, so he had to make up for it, and said: "General Zhong and Hua Yue Gongzi are kind to me, but there are only two of them in an ancient tomb, what am I afraid of." I just don't know what to prepare? ”
"Don't be so troublesome, Miss Ayu can just put on a men's dress that is not so conspicuous and neat." Hua Yue immediately regained her composure, it turned out that she was so easy to deceive.
"Did General Zhong make a fortune for the trip to the ancient tomb? Are there any dangers? Xiao Yu thought about it and asked Zhong Lang seriously.
The corners of Zhong Lang's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't worry, girl, the hexagram shows that every evil turns into good fortune." ”
"When are you leaving?"
"I'll come to the house and ask for an invitation then." Hua Yue smiled.
