Chapter 37: The Wind of Thick Burial (text)

"Surely we are going in the wrong direction and rowing into a fork in the road?"

Zhang Meng asked anxiously. Fu Bo and Chen Cripple are all on the boat, what if something goes wrong?

"They shouldn't be in any danger, you lame old man is not a simple person, and you won't even shout before someone else is knocked down."

Laizi thought about it, shook his head and said.

Not to mention Chen Cripple, it is the brute strength of the big man, he is not afraid of a hungry wolf, and he disappears silently at this time, which can only show that the people on the boat are also ignorant.

"Damn, this fog is weird. Where is there such a coincidence, just fog up the rope to bite off, I think there are still people doing bad! ”

Zhao San said coldly, and he also glanced at Lai Zi specifically.

"Not necessarily, in the tomb robbery industry, there are more strange things encountered, and this is really not necessarily someone who is doing evil."

Raiko shook his head, staring at the half-broken hemp rope as if expecting to find something on it.

"It's so wicked here, I think we should go back first, or I'm afraid there will be danger." The sick ghost shook his head gently, in his heart, Zhang Meng's safety was already higher than a qiē, and he did not allow Zhang Meng to step into danger.

"No, Uncle Chen and Fu Bo haven't found them yet, no matter how you say it, you have to find them before leaving!" Zhang Meng said anxiously.

Lai Zi shook his head with a wry smile: "I regret bringing you here a little, now that I want to go out, I'm afraid I have to swim around this river." Didn't I just tell you? There's a mechanism in the tunnel where the woman's corpse is stuck, and it's been activated when the woman's corpse was dug up just now, and now I'm afraid that the tunnel is filled with earth and rock. ”

"Can't leave the mountain road?" The sick ghost asked faintly.

"We're in the interior of the Devil's Mountains, and there's a funny name for it, 'Devil's Circle'. In those days, the Red Army fought guerrillas in this area, and it played dozens of times the enemy army on its own side. If you're interested, check it out! ”

Lai Zi shook his head, his expression was very bad, on the one hand, he was worried about the big guy, on the other hand, this time the action seemed to be very unsmooth, he encountered the female corpse blocking the road at the beginning, and then the boat disappeared inexplicably.

"You see that the current is relatively fast, if you walk against the current and drag something away, they should notice the lame. So I think as long as we speed up the rowing along this current, it is possible to find the lame ones. ”

Zhao San glanced at the water surface carefully, thought for a while, and then said slowly. Although there are many forks in the road, as long as you don't specifically control the direction of the boat, the boat will still go in the direction of the current.

"That's true." Raiko looked at the water surface and nodded.

At this time, there were no tools to take advantage of, Zhang Meng took out two folding shovels from the package, plus the bamboo pole, several people took turns to help the ship, and the speed of the ship soared extremely fast for a while.

"Ah Meng, what do you think that thing is?"

Zhao San pointed to a stone carving next to him and asked a little strangely. This stone sculpture is about three meters high, and a head emerges from the dense grassy jungle, and if you don't look at it seriously, you think it's a big living person, but the person's expression is a little weird, as if he is trying to hold back a smile, and it looks very weird.

"In fact, from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, there has not been any famous sculpture boom in Chinese history, but there is only one dynasty...... exception" Zhang Meng is still very familiar with these and opened his mouth.

"Not bad, boy, I still know a lot, is that dynasty the Han Dynasty?" Laizi glanced at Zhang Meng with some surprise.

"That's right, the jade before the Han Dynasty belonged to official jade, and ordinary poor people were absolutely not allowed to have it. Because at that time, some Taoist priests spread rumors that the corpse wearing a golden jade robe would not decay for thousands of years. But in the Jin Dynasty, after excavating many corpses with only bones left in golden jade clothes, the rulers of the dynasty knew that this was a lie, and the official jade began to slowly flow to the people. Jade carvings in the Han Dynasty were at their peak, and the same stone carvings also shined during that period. ”

Zhang Meng said with some excitement: "In other words, if there is a tomb here, it will be at the level of a prince and general at the most!" ”

Lai Zi's face also paid attention to it at this time, but he was still a little puzzled: "Why do you say that?" ”

"The Han Dynasty was a relatively stable and prosperous feudal empire, and in order to strengthen feudal rule, the rulers relied on the economic foundation and patriarchal ideology to set off a wind of thick burials. Each tomb has a special exquisiteness, and the seven grades cannot be luxurious over the sixth. This kind of rule has later become the law of the imperial dynasty, and stone carvings are a very important element that reflects such a class level. It was extremely difficult to carve such a large stone carving with the skills of the time, but if you can take a closer look, you can be sure. ”

As a shopkeeper in Shuiyuexuan, this bit of eyesight still needs to be had, Zhang Meng looked excited, and seemed to want to go ashore to have a look.

"Come on, your lame uncle is gone, and you still have the heart to look at this broken stone." Zhao San said angrily, although Chen Cripple was not a simple character, Zhao San was still a little worried about his safety.

"Well, I will never go to this Devil Mountain, don't look at the calm now, if a few blind bears rush out, the Jade Emperor will not be able to protect you!"

Yoriko nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the Devil's Mountain Range, the miasma gushing out of the rivers and swamps has reached a terrifying stage. The banks of the river are like a fairyland on earth, but this beautiful scenery is made up of miasma that can kill people, and everyone is anxious at this time, but no one appreciates this beautiful scenery.

"Ah Meng, cover the cloth on your face tightly, don't inhale too much miasma!"

Zhao San said solemnly, Originally, the miasma in the Devil's Mountain would dry out to the sun after a while, but this time it didn't dissipate for a long time.

When Zhang Meng heard this, he quickly held his breath, and even his rowing arm slowed down, but he clearly remembered that when he fainted for the first time, he almost gave food to the room full of rats. He subconsciously looked at Lai Zi, but there was no look on Lai Zi's face, his arm was waving a bamboo pole mechanically, he was the only one among several people who had not rested, and his body seemed to be endless, and Zhao San was also awe-inspiring when he saw it.

The first time I came to the mainland, I actually met such a big Buddha, if this guy is really hostile to everyone, I am afraid that it will cause a big trouble, and the Ye family's heaven and earth have a fight.

Zhao San thought secretly. Seeing that Lai Zi was not tireless at all, Zhao San was not happy to see it, he also gritted his teeth and persisted, but later it was really numb in his right arm, and the folding shovel accidentally touched a stone and almost fell into the water.

Seeing Zhao San's appearance, Zhang Meng was secretly amused. Although Zhao San usually smiles, the competitive heart in his heart is not much more than that of young people.

"Come on, come on, the third uncle won't be tired of rowing for another day like that, let me also play with this folding shovel!"

Zhang Meng snatched the folding shovel and rowed it up.

Zhao San rolled his eyes, knowing that Zhang Meng was teasing him, although he couldn't pull it down, his body still couldn't hold on, so he could only hum and wipe the beads of sweat on the side of his sideburns, and drank sour plum water.

"Who's that, the tomb robber?"

Zhang Meng was bored rowing, this Laizi didn't know what he was thinking, the sick ghost was as calm as ever, Zhang Meng could only hook up with Laizi next to him.

"What tomb robbery? This is protective development, grasping those precious things in their own hands, and preventing them from being smuggled abroad by unethical animals, do you understand this righteousness? You know how many precious cultural relics in the country are exhibited in European and American museums every year, and you can understand how much my heart hurts when you see this. ”

"I hurt you grandfather, and I will turn over the soil, and it will be the same as the real thing. When Lao Tzu was fighting, you didn't know where to wear open crotch pants, so in this way, is Lao Tzu the patron saint of China? ”

Zhao San jumped up as soon as he could, his face was bruised and protruding, he was in a bad mood, and if he made such a joke to this guy, Zhao San was simply angry and the Three Buddhas were born.

When Lai Zi saw Zhao San's excited appearance, he could only keep his mouth shut stupidly, if he didn't listen, he wouldn't listen, why was he so excited.

Seeing that Lai Zi's expression was not as nervous as before, Zhang Meng threw the folding shovel to Zhao San, and leaned over with a salivating face.

"Brother Laizi!"

Hearing Zhang Meng's faint voice, Lai Zi was startled and almost threw the bamboo pole into the water.

"Boy, don't ask me, I don't want to take care of your, and your uncle doesn't want me to sue you, so don't embarrass me." As soon as Lai Zi saw Zhang Meng, he knew what he wanted to ask.
