In the dark tomb, the fifteen layers of damp stone steps slope downward, as if it is the road of no return to the Yellow Spring, and it is like a broad road to wealth and prosperity......

And in front of the tomb robbers, is the tomb beast named "Fang Xiangshi", which is used to expel the legendary evil beast "Elephant" that eats the remains of the dead, but hundreds of years have passed, the ghosts did not wait, but waited for a few tomb robbers.

The rest of the people had little knowledge and had never seen this thing, so they all retreated in fear. Only Chang was not afraid, he approached the past, patted the two beast heads carved into a deformed dragon face of the "Fang Xiang Clan", and touched the four antlers of the deer that were born in the right tree, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that it's stone, if it's copper, it can also be removed and melted." ”

Chang didn't understand the identity of the owner of this tomb, not only was there a lot of burials around, there were people, chariots and horses, like the stars holding the moon, around this big tomb, but also had such a high-standard tomb steps, and there was an extremely rare town tomb guard. Look at this stone beast is exquisitely carved and lifelike, and it is by no means something that ordinary nobles can have.

He simply shook his head, no longer thinking about this problem, and urged the five of them to move the tomb stone beast that was pressing against the entrance of the tomb chamber little by little. Then he smashed it with an iron shovel and a pry belt, and after tossing for a while, he pushed a gap in the stone coffin room......

The icy air poured into the coffin, and a stale smell was also emitting outward, choking several people back one after another.

"Get out of the way!" Pushing away the other five, he leaned forward by himself, lay on the ground, and shined a torch inside!

"Hahaha, get rich!"

Looking at the coffin, full of burial objects, he laughed loudly.

The others also came over, and they looked in by the firelight, but they saw that in the coffin room, the first thing that caught their eyes was the rows of neatly arranged exquisite lacquerware, and although they could not be seen clearly, they could be vaguely recognized as the outlines of a complete set of chimes and tripods and 簋 (guǐ)......

Good lacquerware can be sold for as much as gold and silver, and those bronzes can be sold for a good price—not as antiques, of course, but as copper.

"After all, it didn't take so many days in vain."

The crowd was overjoyed, and then one of them was left outside to watch the torches and weapons, and they continued to push the coffin away. Pushing it to the point where one person could enter, he hung a torch in it, repeated it several times, and when it was no longer extinguished, he urged:

"Hey, hurry up and get in!"

Xing, the name of the half-grown child, who was not dressed in the clothes dug out of the grave like the others, was now standing with his arms crossed, shivering with cold.

Hearing that Chang forced him to go down to the grave, Xing showed a mournful expression. Unlike others, he came to do this business, he was forced, the tomb robbers needed a young man who was thin enough to get into the tomb, so they tricked him from Chu when his parents were dead......

Xing is very afraid of ghosts, and lately he has often had nightmares, dreaming that the tomb owners who had been removed by himself to accompany the burial goods lined up to ask for their lives. But he also knew that his pleas were fruitless, and if he didn't comply, what awaited him was punches and kicks.

The villain standing in front of him was far more terrifying than the ethereal ghosts, and Xing could only stiffen his head, squat down to the entrance of the stairs tremblingly, tugging on the rope, and probing his feet tentatively, and carefully descended into the coffin......

"Click", the crisp sound sounded, and Xington looked down at the firelight above his head, and was suddenly frightened!

It's the bones of men! A skeleton dressed in a woman's deep coat was leaning at his feet! Xingfang just happened to break its hand!

"Ahh

He shouted and jumped away, but when he turned around, he saw a larger skeleton: this time the craggy skeleton of four horses, lying quietly next to each other, with a cart behind them. The wheels had decayed, and only the copper chariot remained, and there was also a human skeleton, wearing a set of Chu-style leather armor, and sitting on the car with his head tilted......

These people, as well as the chariots and horses, were all funerary objects of the owner of the tomb.

"Don't scream! Then the torches! ”

There was an angry voice outside, and the next torch was lowered, so Xing had to carefully avoid the bones of the martyrs, took the torch, and stuck it on the ground.

At this time, he almost saw the whole picture of the coffin, which was very large, made of stone, with a coffin in the middle, surrounded by dense funerary objects.

He trembled and fell to his knees, bowed to the dark and gloomy black coffin, saying that he was also forced to be helpless, and if he did not do so, the people above would beat him, kill him, and abandon him in the wilderness......

Then, Xingcai carefully picked up the beautiful lacquerware dyed red and black and handed them to the people above.

After moving a few lacquer boxes and lacquer bottles, Chang asked him to move the tripod and the lacquer.

On the torches on the ground, Xing saw that on the north side of the coffin room, there were indeed seven tripods and six coffins neatly arranged, from left to right, and the size became smaller in turn.

Of course, he didn't know that this was the specification of the "feudal monarch" ritual equivalent to the princes within the Chu State. The largest tripods were half a person tall and too heavy for him to move, so he could only carry the smallest tripod and reluctantly hand it over......

When he was out of breath and carried the smallest of the buns, he tried to pass it up, but he lifted it for a long time, and no one came to pick it up.

"Ouch!"

On the ground, there was a scream!

It was the man who guarded the torches and weapons, and then there was the heavy sound of falling to the ground, and the sharp warning sound of Chang and the others......

"Be careful, fend off the enemy!"

"Defend against the enemy? What happened? ”

Xing didn't know anything below, and was a little frightened, he slowly retreated with the cold copper curtain, but he didn't stop and stepped on the torch planted in the ground......

Inside the coffin, in an instant, it was dark!

As if a ghost was naughty, he pursed his lips and blew lightly, extinguishing the only light......

Xing only felt that he was completely surrounded by darkness, and he was suddenly creepy.

There were black holes all around, and when he looked down, he saw that the female undertaker's skull eyes seemed to be flashing with pale green light, staring at him, asking him why he wanted to disturb the dead!

"Help!" The copper in his hand clanged to the ground, and he lay on the tomb wall and shouted, but no one cared about him.

At this moment, the ground above the coffin was bustling, but I saw torches flickering wildly, and all kinds of sounds mixed together:

The tip of the spear collided with the blade of the sword, and a sharp metallic wail echoed through the tomb; The suspension knife of the crossbow machine was pulled, and with a bang, the crossbow flew towards the target, but it slammed into the wooden shield with a muffled sound; The tremble of the bowstring immediately sounded, causing a scream of pain, and even an arrow hit the stone of the coffin, splashing a trace of spark.

There was obviously a fierce fight on the ground, but Xing thought that it was not a human being.

"It's the devil who came, and the ghost came to punish us......"

I remembered all kinds of ghost stories I had heard since I was a child, and the people who heard the sun said that the appearance of the ghost was very vicious, the body was folded in half when sleeping, and the legs were together when walking, and it looked like a one-legged monster jumping, and the people of the village called it "stinging ghost".

On more than one occasion, Xing has heard people claim to have witnessed thorny ghosts, saying that they use peaches as bows, thorns as clusters of arrows, and chicken feathers as arrow feathers......

Now, those ghosts are here, right outside!

Xing was so frightened that he crouched down, clasped his head tightly in his hands, closed his eyes, and in the darkness of the coffin, the child howled and cried......

The cry could not dispel the fear, the sound of killing outside continued to reach the ears, and the cold and biting wind also poured in through the cracks in the coffin, emitting a strange wail......

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of fighting outside gradually stopped, and the sound of people talking was heard.

Xing hurriedly opened his eyes in surprise, walked to the exit of the coffin, and stood on tiptoe to look out......

Without the slightest warning, a face suddenly appeared in front of him, with sideburns on his cheeks, a red birthmark on his forehead, and blood on the tip of his nose and between his eyebrows!

"Hell!" He was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

Unexpectedly, the people outside were also startled by him, and suddenly stepped back, scolding: "Heifu, there are really ghosts in this tomb!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what the hell is there."

The sound of footsteps approached, and the torches shone into the coffin, revealing Xing's thin body.

"I mean, there is another ...... in it"

A stout hand reached in, left.

Immediately, a neutral voice sounded above his head: "Housheng, can't you come up?" ”
