Chapter 1: Wen Tao's Tomb Robbery

Next Chapter

In the spring of the third year of Kaiping, the Qianling Cemetery located in Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province suddenly became lively, and a large group of people carried shovels, iron cones, sharp axes, shovels, hoes, and flat shoulders, and walked from Waiguo City to the Imperial City and the Palace City.

A man dressed in purple rode a high-headed horse on the Sima Road in the middle of the Ru Peak, wearing a gorgeous ceremonial knife at his waist. An attendant pointed ahead and said, "Boss, the north peak of Liangshan is almost here." ”

The man in purple was admiring the Huabiao on both sides, the winged horse, the ostrich and the stone horse, and said, "Who is the boss?" ”

"You!"

"Fart, Li Maozhen, the king of Qi, is the boss."

The attendant suddenly realized and said: "Yes, envoy, it's all called Shunkou, if you don't say it, I forgot it." ”

The man in purple said: "If the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done." For the sake of the guys' survival, I surrendered to Zhu Wen, which is really a last resort. Fortunately, King Qi accepted all rivers, regardless of the past suspicions, re-admitted us, and respected him as the boss as a matter of course. ”

Everyone said in unison: "King Qi, boss, King Qi." ”

"Today's events are also for the long-term plans of the guys, do you understand?" The man in purple said loudly: "Tang Zuo is over, there is chaos in the sea, floods and droughts are one after another, soldiers are in trouble, so many people want to eat, what should I do?" Last winter, most of the treasures we got from Zhaoling had already been given to the boss, and we had to get a few more votes to support ourselves. ”

Everyone nodded yes. The people in purple came to the wordless monument and dismounted, the air in the early morning was very fresh, and the morning sun reflected on the mottled wordless monument, telling people about the vicissitudes of the years.

The man in purple turned around in front of the pavilion of the wordless tablet and the tablet of the saint, and said to himself: "The past has gone to reminisce, leaving the barren mound alone to the dusk." The prosperity is scattered and the treasures are there, buried in the soil for future generations! Haha......" turned to the back of the tower again, whipped the big lion statue with a horsewhip, and then slashed through the Suzaku Gate.

After passing through a row of palaces and opening the Chengtian Gate, the purple-clothed man pointed to the north peak of Liangshan and ordered the construction to start.

The crowd cheered and swarmed up, digging, burrowing, transporting soil, and doing a great job. The man in purple walked up to the top of the north peak, took out a drawing and compass, pointed east to west, the mountain wind blew, and the robe fluttered.

The man in purple is called Wen Tao, a native of Jing Zhaohua, burly, brave and combative, bold and careful, when he was young, he gathered in the mountains and forests, did not produce, and specialized in plundering, and was later subdued by Li Maozhen and named the history of Yaozhou Thorn. Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, swept the Central Plains and was invincible, Li Maozhen was not an opponent, retreated to Fengxiang, and Wen Tao surrendered to the king of Liang for self-preservation.

In the fourth year, Zhu Wen forced Tang Zhaozong Li Ye to move east to Luoyang, and sent the imperial camp to make Zhang Tingfan demolish Chang'an City, take its timber, float down the Weishui, and make the world-famous Chang'an become a mound and ruin. The west of Chang'an became Li Maozhen's sphere of influence, and Wen Tao surrendered to Li Maozhen again, offering the treasures obtained from the tomb robbery, and Li Maozhen named him the envoy of the righteous victory army.

There are not many people under Wen Tao who can charge into battle, and there are many roosters and dogs, and tomb robbing is their forte, whether the mausoleum is cast with iron juice or sealed with stones, as long as they find the tomb road, there is a way to open it.

In the spring of the second year of Kaiping, Zhu Wen sent people to kill Emperor Li Ji of the Tang Dynasty in Caozhou, and the incense of Li Tang Zongmiao was cut off from then on. Under the help of his subordinates, Wen Tao gathered in Sagashan in Sanyuan County and began to dig up the tombs of the Tang Emperor. First dig the Xian Tomb, Duan Tomb, Zhuang Tomb, and then go to Liquan County to dig Zhao Tomb, build the Tomb.

Among the tombs of the Tang Emperor, the Zhaoling Tomb is the strongest, Wen Tao and the chickens and dogs have studied for a long time, and it took a lot of effort to open the Zhaoling. At that time, it had been 260 years since Li Shimin's burial, and the stone was shattered when he opened it, but he saw that the underground palace was magnificent, like a fairyland on earth, and the treasures were shining with gold, shining with the eyes of blind tomb robbers.

Wen Tao's nephew Zheng Xuansu opened Li Shimin's coffin and saw Li Shimin's head resting on the jade frame, and his hair was already scattered. There are stone couches placed in the wings on both sides of the underground palace, and there are five gold boxes on them, which contain the precious books of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Han Dynasty, as well as the authentic handwriting of Zhong Xuan and Wang Xizhi, and the handwriting is as new.

Zheng Xuansu loved books and ink, while Wen Tao loved gold, pearls and silk. Wen Tao ordered his staff to register the stolen treasures one by one, for fear that future generations would not know about his miraculous achievements. Regarding the authentic works of Zhong Xuan and Wang Xizhi with new paper and ink, Wen Tao actually disdained them and gave them to Zheng Xuansu.

After Wen Tao's death, the Tang Emperor's collection of thousands of rare books from his previous life were also owned by Zheng Xuansu. Zheng Xuansu became the richest collector in Chinese history, and the famous "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" was in his hands. Zheng Xuansu later retired to the mountains and forests, picked roses and dug ferns and ate, played the piano and chanted scriptures on weekdays, and was good at talking about various wise sayings.

Through tomb robbing, Wen Tao became rich, recruited troops, and his power continued to grow. tasted the sweetness of tomb robbery, Wen Tao led his subordinates to Qianxian County, wanting to steal and dig up the crown of the imperial tomb, Qianling, so there was the scene at the beginning.

After some observation, Wen Tao walked down from the top of the north peak to the southeast, walked halfway up the north peak, and ordered someone to dig a hole here. The soil that was chiseled out smelled by a special person.

Everyone was busy, and the time was three o'clock in the afternoon, and suddenly a dark cloud came from the sky to cover the sun, and the earth darkened, Wen Tao looked up, as if he saw something. There was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and another strong yin wind hit, and everyone shuddered. Immediately afterwards, a downpour poured down from the sky and poured into Wen Tao's open mouth.

Wen Tao shouted: "! He took the lead and ran down the mountain, and the crowd scattered, and tools were thrown all over the mountain. The mountain road was bumpy, Wen Tao didn't care about it, and he didn't know who pulled a piece of, and was stepped on by Wen Tao, and his feet slipped and rolled down like a wooden pillar.

The entourage shouted behind them, rushed to catch up and support Wen Tao, set them up and continued to run, and only stopped when they ran out of the Qianling gate. Wen Tao panted, patted the dirt on his body, and said, "His grandmother's, it stinks!" The fox didn't catch it, but it made a fuss. "Command the people back to the camp. As soon as I returned to the camp, the sky was clear.

The blue sky was full of white clouds, Wen Tao looked at the blue sky and white clouds and said, "His grandmother's, the teasing envoy is not!" ”

Early tomorrow morning, Wen Tao shouted at everyone to get up and go to Liangshan, and everyone privately talked about the evil spirit on Liangshan. Wen Tao said: "He is evil, I will do mine, he has wind, thunder and rain, I have a shovel, shovel, axe and cone, and the tip of the needle is against Maimang, who is afraid of whom?" Get on the road. ”

Under the encouragement of Wen Tao, everyone mustered up their courage and marched towards the north peak of Liangshan. Wen Tao came to the north peak, raised one foot, did not fall for a long time, and the entourage said: "My lord, are you afraid of ......" Wen Tao patted the head of the entourage and said: "Pig head, this is called the finale, understand?" You all go up to work, and I'll hold you down. ”

Everyone worked the mountain, and Wen Tao lingered at the foot of the mountain for a while, but he still went up the mountain. As soon as I reached the halfway point of the mountain, the dark clouds rose again, unpredictable. Wen Tao nervously observed the sky, but saw that the dark clouds were floating in the shape of a bird, very much like a parrot, spreading its wings to cover the sun.

Wen Tao pointed to the sky and shouted: "Nima, labor and management are not Jerry, don't pretend to be Tom!" The craftsmen pointed out and said, "The envoy is talking nonsense, the envoy is talking nonsense." The crowd was frightened, and two rays of sunlight shone through the dark clouds, just like the eyes of a parrot shining golden.

In a moment, the parrot cloud gathered its wings, layered like mushrooms, and began to spin. A sharp whirlwind suddenly appeared in the middle of the mushroom cloud, swayed the sheep's horns down, hit Wen Tao a hundred steps in front of him, rolled the shovel axe cone into the sky, and quickly moved it.

Wen Tao was shocked: "Banma, you black labor!" Towards the bottom of the mountain, this time he saw the way back in advance, and there was no phenomenon of rolling and climbing. The entourage panicked, and many people came to chew and were embarrassed.

Everyone rushed out of the gate of Qianling in a swarm, was running, suddenly heard a loud noise, stopped and looked at it, it turned out to be a shovel and axe cone falling from the sky, fortunately there was no one to hit, fortunately. Back in the camp, the sky was watching again.

The next morning, Wen Tao didn't get up, and his entourage came over to ask for instructions, Wen Tao frowned and pondered: Don't go, others think I'm an otaku, and I order my subordinates to make fun of me, go, it looks like I'll be ghosted again. To go or not to go, is the question. The staff said: "Someone has already smelled the smell of the soil, and it will be useless not to go." ”

Wen Tao waved his hand and said categorically: "People die for money, and birds die for food." Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. Guys, let's go! ”

Wen Tao led the team to the north peak, not in a hurry to go up the mountain, first set up an incense case, burned incense and prayed: "The heavenly spirit is spiritual, the Bodhisattva is to manifest, the Bodhisattva is to manifest." Bless no ghosts on the mountain, bless no monsters under the mountain, bless the opening of the Qianling Mausoleum, bless the jewelry rolling in, knock knock Lang snatching, rolling out! ”

After the end, Wen Tao shook his clothes and led the crowd up the mountain. This time, Wen Tao was determined to win, came to the halfway up the mountain, and personally dug hard with a hoe. was digging, a strong yin wind hit again, Wen Tao shivered, looked up, no, parrot cloud is here again! Wen Tao's legs suddenly sifted up chaff involuntarily, and secretly scolded himself for being a masochist.

The parrot cloud covered the sun as usual, its wings seemed to move, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, hit the north peak, the mountain shook the ground, Wen Tao felt an electric current pass through his body, and his limbs suddenly spasmed, unable to move. Then the thunder exploded, but no one fled, and they all stood there like clay sculptures.

What does fish taste like on a cutting board? Wen Tao finally understood, his face contorted, and he only prayed that the lightning would not come again. The electric light traveled over the people, and they moved like zombies, stretching their hands up and down, and foaming at the mouth. Just when everyone thought they were going to die, the electric light suddenly disappeared, and the pouring rain poured down, pouring cold on the people on the mountain.

A colorful macaw suddenly appeared behind the parrot cloud, stretched out its claws and grabbed Wen Tao's eyes, Wen Tao fell to the ground in fright, hurriedly climbed up, and ran down the mountain. Everyone was also able to move, and followed Wen Tao to rush out of Qianling. Back at the camp, it was strange to say, the sky was sunny again.

After this fright, 9,999 people in Wen Tao's army caught a cold, 999 had crooked mouths, and 99 had a stroke. Wen Tao shouted: "I can't afford to hurt, I can't afford to hurt!" Grave robbers can't afford to hurt. "From then on, I never dared to go to Liangshan again.

What is the origin of the parrot? Wen Tao was puzzled, and Zheng Xuansu prompted: "According to historical records, on September 9 of the first year of the Heavenly Grant, Empress Wu wore a crown and ascended to the gate of heaven in the Taichu Palace, announcing that she would ascend the throne and be called the emperor, and the world would be amnesty. ”

Wen Tao said: "September 9th, 9999, parrot, Wuhou, what seems to be the connection between this? Nephew, don't you say? I seem to understand something! ”

Zheng Xuansu nodded and said, "There is indeed some kind of mysterious connection, there seems to be a pair of eyes staring at us on Liangshan!" As soon as you go up the mountain, it will be windy and rainy, and when you go down the mountain, the wind will be clear! This is too godly, repeat it three times, as the saying goes, it is only three. Wen Tao shuddered and signaled to stop talking.

What is the origin of the colorful macaw? Let's see the next chapter breakdown.
