Volume 3 The Two Capitals Chapter 18 Underground Behemoths
With a loud "boom", the crypt that had just appeared with a small gap suddenly collapsed, almost burying several black-clothed men who were digging under the soil.
The third and fourth decay changed color together, and when it became clear that there was no overall collapse, but only a local shock caused by the opening of the two tunnels, I was relieved.
Gui San was still a little worried: "It's almost dawn now, will such a big movement attract attention?" ”
"Don't worry!" Gui Si said calmly: "I heard that Dan Chenzi is also ordering people to build the Taoist altar overnight, presumably it is also noisy and neighing, who will notice the slight noise here?" ”
"Not bad, not bad!" Gui San's face softened: "When that old Taoist approached me during the day to ask for some construction materials, I almost raised my heart to my throat, lest they would discover the mystery under these woods. Now that I think about it, it helped us a lot! ”
"No more gossip!" Under the blazing firelight, Gui Si's face was red from excitement, "Immediately dig up these collapsed soils, and the imperial tomb is not far ahead!" ”
As the floating earth was cleared little by little, a narrow and winding passage emerged, one end stretching diagonally upward, and the other end continuing downward, leading to the dark and deep underground.
"Is this the tunnel that took you nearly five years to complete?" Guisan gasped and said, "You did it alone? It's a lot of hard work! ”
Gui Si smiled smugly, lowered his head slightly, and plunged into the tunnel.
Huang San hesitated slightly, and motioned his subordinates to continue to wait in the spacious tunnel, while he raised the fire and followed behind Qi Si.
After walking dozens of steps, I heard the sudden excited whisper of Gui Si, and his eyes suddenly became bright. A wide corridor emerged, leading straight ahead.
The oil lamps hanging on the walls of the road, which are familiar with the road, illuminate the whole room when they are boarded.
Gui San turned around and looked at the big black hole that opened out of the corridor behind him, and exclaimed, "You just opened the opening directly, and you didn't hide it?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Gui Si said impatiently: "Who would dare to enter and investigate?" I don't even have that power today! ”
As he spoke, he strode to the side, and Gui San said in surprise, "Isn't it? You're going the other way around, aren't you? According to the direction, Azusa Palace should be on this side, right? ”
"You're wrong, that gold is not in the yellow intestine problem at all!" Gui Si slowly pushed open a stone door not far away: "It's in the bedroom!" ”
As the stone door opened, a bright fire light entered the room, and the room was refracted with a golden light.
Gui San rushed to the stone door, looked at the mountain of gold nuggets in the corner of the room, and couldn't help but stop breathing: "God! This, this is at least hundreds of thousands of catties! ”
An irrepressible look of greed flashed in his eyes: "With so much gold, as long as you and my brother leave a little, it will be enough to be used for the rest of our lives!" ”
"Oh?" Gui Si looked at him with a smile and said, "What? As a Han clan, you steal the ancestral mausoleum like this, it is already disloyal and unfilial! Do you still dare to carry the organization's pockets behind your back and do such an unkind and unrighteous thing? ”
"Phew! If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed! Zhu San sneered: "Don't tell me, you are not moved at all in the face of Jinshan?" ”
"Tempting! Of course! Every time I think that there is a tunnel leading to Jinshan in my room, but I can't take it out, I feel like I want to go crazy! "But I still understand one thing, no matter how much money you have, you have to spend it!" Do you need me to remind you of the Order's supernatural powers? ”
Gui San poured down like a basin of cold water, and said with a shock: "This is a good statement! You and I should immediately transfer the gold as planned! ”
"Boom" faintly came from the direction of the tunnel.
Gui San and Gui Si were stunned, and Gui Si said angrily: "What are these boys doing? ”
Suddenly, a long scream of "ah" pierced the ears of the two like a sharp needle.
"Not good!" Ji San's face turned pale and said, "It's not right!" How could someone scream, could it be, could it be that the demon beast came out? ”
I heard the screams from afar, and a man in black covered in blood rushed in from the tunnel, screaming, "Chief! Big things are not good! Brothers, brothers can't stop ......"
Gui Si's face was also like a dead man, and he grabbed the man: "Is it that demon beast?" ”
"Demon beasts?" Blood continued to gush out from a long wound on his subordinate's chest, and his eyes gradually dimmed: "No! No! Yes, it's people......"
"It's a human?" The two of them jumped up together as if they were electrocuted, "Not good! It must be that the matter is revealed, so let's go! ”
"Want to go?" A calm voice came from the dark tunnel: "Have you asked Ben general?" ”
When Gui San and Gui Si heard this familiar voice, they were as if they had seen a ghost, and they were so shocked that they took a few steps back, and looked at the person who was slowly walking out of the tunnel with a dead face.
"your grandma! It's a mistake to drill such a narrow tunnel! Nan Ying stretched out his hand and brushed the dirt above his head, and said easily, "Can't you dig more wide?" It's so unprofessional! ”
"Nope! That's impossible! Gui San first shouted wildly: "I obviously sent people to watch you leave, and your brigade is still a hundred miles away!" ”
The shouts and screams from the tunnel gradually stopped, and a few more people emerged from the tunnel, but it was Gao Shun, Gao Feng and Dian Wei.
"Tut-tut! You've come just in time, let's get acquainted again! Nan Ying raised the torch forward, reflecting the originally bright enough corridor even brighter, clearly showing the two familiar and gray faces on the opposite side: "It's the Cemetery Master and the Principal!" It's unexpected! ”
Under the firelight, Liu Yu, the cemetery, and Zhang Ben, the principal, trembled and couldn't speak.
Nan Ying saw the crumbling short knives in their hands at a glance, and frowned: "If you have heard of the fierce name of this general, you will not abandon the weapon?" Ben will never kill the unarmed! ”
Before the words fell, the two short knives fell to the ground together.
Nan Ying nodded with satisfaction, and was about to speak, only to see Gao Shun turn back from the room with a calm face, and whispered in his ear: "No matter what, it is inconvenient for us to stay in the mausoleum of the first emperor for a long time, let's quit first!" ”
Liu Yu and Zhang Ben were escorted back to the spacious tunnel they had dug before, and they were shocked to find that at least half of the original more than 100 subordinates had been lying on the ground, covering the tunnel. The dozens of surviving people were tied up with long ropes and strung together, and they were slowly walking out of the tunnel with their heads down, but the people in charge of guarding them were a group of strange warriors in black armor and black armor.
These warriors were fierce in their bodies, fierce in their eyes, and their crossbows dangling from their captives, believing that if anyone dared to resist, they would be shot into hedgehogs.
"They, how did they get in?" Liu Yu is also Guisan, blurted out.
The fourth person beside him, the principal Zhang Ben, had a look of "what an idiot" flashing in his eyes, and stretched out his finger to point to a big hole in the tunnel wall not far away, but this hole was not dug by them.
Liu Yu remembered the last loud noise, suddenly woke up, and said in shock: "You guys! You're doing the same thing we do! It's all about opening another tunnel, and then opening it up! ”
"Of course! Ben will be under him, and there happens to be a digger nicknamed Mouse! Nanying smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Otherwise, what do you think Danchenzi's Daoist altar is busy with all night?" ”
"I, I'm stupid!" Liu Yu's figure flickered, and he said miserably: "In vain, we thought that we had exhausted the calculations, but we have always been in your calculations!" ”
"Even if you are right, your purpose and methods will already be known, only one thing is unknown, and you are about to consult Liu Hou!" Nan Ying's eyes showed a look of mockery, and he suddenly said with a cold face: "Where are that demon beast and his master hiding now?" ”
"Demon beasts?" Liu Yu's eyes were filled with hope, and he said hurriedly: "If I confess it to the general, will I be able to save my life?" ”
"You!" Zhang Ben was shocked, and his eyes showed disdain.
"As a member of the Han family, you can only be convicted by the Son of Heaven or Zongzheng, and what the general said doesn't count!" Nan Ying said coldly: "Ben will only be able to promise you that if you can make meritorious contributions, Ben will be able to help you say a few good words!" ”
Liu Yu's face flashed with pain and struggle, and finally nodded, and said in a dumb voice: "Okay! The monster's hiding place is not far away, follow me! ”
He turned around and walked towards the tunnel, and in the short moment when he turned to face Zhang Ben, Liu Yu suddenly quietly glanced at him, and his eyes were full of madness.
Zhang Ben suddenly understood that Liu Yu was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but wanted to use that demon beast to attract the attention of Nanying and the others, so as to achieve the purpose of escaping. He shuddered involuntarily, this was simply gambling with his own life! Who knows if the monster will attack both of them together? He gritted his teeth, finally relentlessly, and silently followed behind Liu Yu.
Soon, Liu Yu stood in front of the earthen wall, he pointed to the earthen wall, and took a step back.
Nanying was surprised for a while, could it be that the demon beast was behind this wall, but according to the mysterious man that night, the demon beast should be hidden in the .......
He made a gesture, and all the warriors in the tunnel withdrew from the tunnel with the captives, while the most powerful dozen or so Eagle's Nest warriors stepped forward together, their crossbows pointed directly at the earthen wall.
Only Dian Wei came to the wall alone, and silently pierced the iron halberd in his hand into the earthen wall, carefully digging out a large area of soil.
Gao Shun leaned to Nanying's side and said in a low voice: "If that demon beast is really behind this earthen wall, will it shoot it directly?" ”
Nan Ying was just about to nod, when suddenly a terrifying roar suddenly erupted from behind the earthen wall, the sound was far louder than everyone imagined, and it shook the dirt above his head.
Nanying's face changed drastically, and he pulled Dian Wei back.
"Boom" The earth wall burst out a large cloud of dirt and dust, and when everyone retreated in surprise, a huge beast shadow broke through a gap behind the earth wall and rushed out.
"Ahh Nanying only felt that his body was hit by a huge force, and immediately flew out, and at the same time, he heard someone screaming in his ears, and couldn't help but change color, could it be that which brother was poisoned by that demon beast?
The dust gradually cleared, revealing the embarrassed figures of everyone in the tunnel.
Nan Ying shouted, "Check quickly, who was injured by that demon beast?" ”
"No need to look at it!" Zhang Ben slowly stood up from the ground, and the sad color of the dead rabbit and fox flashed in his eyes: "It's Liu Yu who died!" ”
Lying on the ground was Liu Yu, who had a long and terrible wound from his neck to his abdomen, especially gushing blood, but his eyes were very wide, and he was really dead.
"What a terrible monster!" Gao Shun said with palpitations: "Although I didn't see it clearly, it was true that as Li Jin said, the size of that demon beast was terrifying!" ”
"How could it be so coincidental!" Nan Ying said in disbelief: "That demon beast is attacking Liu Yu!" ”
"No, it's not a coincidence!" Zhang Ben's eyes suddenly wanted to erupt with fire: "It must be the demon beast that killed the second son!" ”
He bowed deeply to Nan Ying, and said miserably: "I didn't expect that we have all become outcasts, and the criminal general is willing to confess all the inside information he knows to the general, and he just wants to ask the general to save my life!" ”
"We'll see!" Nan Ying walked towards the hole in the earthen wall: "I'll talk about this later, Ben Jiang is very curious, how did this demon beast hide behind this sealed earthen wall?" ”
"General! Be careful! Zhang Ben was shocked and said: "That Zi Er must be hidden behind the wall!" ”
"Don't worry!" Nan Ying's feet didn't stop: "Just now, when the demon beast rushed out to kill, Ben would have heard the footsteps of another person and fled from the opposite direction behind the wall!" ”
"But the General! That demon beast must have escaped from the tunnel at this time, and once it continues to cause harm on the Xianyang Plain, it will have endless troubles! Zhang Ben was still surprised: "Aren't you going to hunt that demon beast first?" ”
"Hunting monsters?" Nan Ying finally stopped, turned his head and smiled: "Very good, Ben Jiang now has some confidence in Principal Zhang's determination to find his way back!" But don't worry, that demon beast should have fallen into the net of heaven and earth that would have been set up outside the tunnel at this time, and it can't escape with its wings! ”
