Chapter 456: Hateful Tomb Robbers

Hearing Xiao Chumo's rhetorical question, Yu Panxi nodded very honestly: "Naturally, I still remember." ”

Along the way, apart from the amazing patterns carved on the stone doors and stone chambers, she still felt that something was not quite right in those places, so she remembered them clearly.

"It's actually a very old tomb, and although I don't know who its owner is, judging from the specifications of the tomb, the patterns, and even the mechanisms laid in it, the owner here should have been a person of considerable status during his lifetime. If you don't hold power, you are a businessman on the rich side. ”

Speaking of the origin of this place, Xiao Chumo can be said to have not concealed it at all. Yu Panxi wanted to know, she asked, and he said.

"Since he is a person of noble status, there are naturally a lot of funeral goods. I don't know how many years ago, this place was accidentally discovered and looted by tomb robbers. When I was a general before, once when the squad returned to the court, I wiped out a nest of wandering mountain bandits on the way, and the jade pendant used to open the door was taken out of the spoils of war. At that time, it was also presented with a treasure map that was drawn in a mess. ”

In fact, I don't know how many years ago this happened, and it's not a big deal, but he has a good memory and remembers it quite clearly.

And hearing his words, Yu Panxi inevitably smacked his tongue a little. She said that there was something wrong with the stone gates she had just seen on the way in, but she hadn't touched them before, so she didn't know very well. In retrospect, she had seen it in a drawing book, and the carved patterns on it, though exquisite, were not painted, and the door was standing in a place where I didn't know how many floors deep underground, but it could only be explained by the tomb.

She looked at the indifferent man beside her with a bit of a smile, and took his words: "Then you really followed the treasure map to find it?" It's not within the confines of the tomb, but when you come in, you still have to pass through it, and you're here to train your troops. So are we disturbing the purity of the tomb owner? ”

After all, they are all people who have died once, and she is not afraid of any ghosts and gods, but this is the place where the dead are used to sleep for a long time, isn't it good for them to do so?

As if seeing what she was thinking, Xiao Chumo gently squeezed her hand, and then said, "That's not going to happen." The place we walked in was quite far from the main burial chamber, and although my men had only found it in a joking mind, they had to do so far to find it, so they had to do a good job before they gave up. And guess what? ”

Seeing that it was the most critical time, he suddenly stopped what he was saying and deliberately sold it to Yu Panxi. It was only when the latter thought about it for a while that he could not come up with a reasonable guess that he continued.

"As I said before, this tomb is very old, and there have been tomb robbers. Since there is the first batch of thieves, there will naturally be a second and third batches. In short, after many tomb robbers visited here, all the contents of the tomb were looted, and even the bones of the tomb owner were not spared. In other words, the tomb we came to is now nothing more than an empty tomb without an owner. Since there is no owner, what is there to worry about? ”

He thought that Yu Panxi was afraid that he would break in rashly and disturb the owner of the tomb, so he would explain the matter so quickly, so as not to make her worry and fear.

It's just that the latter has never been the kind of daughter who screams in fright when she sees cockroaches, where can she be frightened by these things? As soon as she heard his words, she focused on something else, which was a little disappointing to his good intentions.

"Just now you said that those tomb robbers refused to give up, and even refused to let go of the body of the tomb owner. But the corpse is not a precious object, and there are even many taboos, why did they spend so much effort to bring it out? ”

She was puzzled, and although the question she asked was what she wanted to ask, she still couldn't figure it out. Xiao Chumo raised his eyebrows and said compassionately: "There are many more disgusting things in this world than this. I've heard before that there are people who have an almost obsessive attachment to corpses, and almost try to collect them and make them one of their treasures. ”

Yu Panxi was a little stunned, and subconsciously covered her mouth: "There is still such a thing?!" ”

Such a strange habit of collecting corpses can almost be said to be an unsightly perverted act, and since it is unsightly, the origin of the corpse naturally becomes very suspicious.

Compared with her, Xiao Chumo at this time looked like he had already seen it, and when he talked about this matter, the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all: "Not only does this kind of thing happen, but people are also very rampant, and they also know how to exploit the loopholes of the law." The dried corpses brought out by those tomb robbers are generally brought out from old tombs, and the relatives and descendants of the tomb owners have long since forgotten where they have moved, and even if someone from above really checks them out, it will not be possible to find their heads. ”

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly paused for some reason, and then continued: "What's more, I once sent someone to secretly investigate their transaction, and a complete dried corpse is enough to sell for hundreds of taels. This is the silver that ordinary people can't use up for several years for food and clothing, and naturally too many people are moved by this and want to destroy the eternal sleep after death. ”

He shouldn't have been so angry, although he had been investigating this kind of thing before, but now he never had time to think about it. After all, Situ Ye's side was always a variable, and that person was indeed a bit difficult to deal with, he shouldn't put his energy on such inconsequential things.

Yu Panxi didn't answer immediately, as if he was still surprised that someone would be keen to collect the corpses that had been dead for a long time. Xiao Chumo glanced at her twice, thought about it, and then took her out along the slightly slippery bank of the underground river, and walked for about two quarters of an hour, when suddenly a bright light pierced in from the outside, pulling her thoughts back.

"This is ......"

Judging from the surrounding environment, they should be at the foot of the mountain now, but Yu Panxi has never seen the scenery here, so it should not be the side where their stilted building is located.

"A little further on, there will be a small village, where the guards you just saw were hiding. But at this time, people are still training in the cave, and I won't take you there if you're not at home. ”

Xiao Chumo said, suddenly raised his hand and blew a long whistle, and it didn't take long for the poor horse that they had forgotten halfway up the mountain to gallop over.
