Chapter 47 The Answer to the Tomb Robbery
The three of them were terrified, the voice in the cave gradually became clear, Gao Shun hurriedly kicked out the fire to avoid being discovered, in case of a giant python or a mountain bear, it was usually okay, but it was really not easy for him and others to deal with it when it was cold and frozen.
Bai Cang and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, hid outside the entrance of the cave, as long as a fierce beast appeared in the cave, they could immediately attack, listening to the sound was indeed coming in this direction, and they had no doubts and had to prepare to fight, because the speed of people in the mountains and forests could not be faster than that of fierce beasts, unless you are a top master, but do you still need to run?
Nervous to the point that his heart was raised to his throat, Bai Cang looked at Gao Shun, only to see him signaling himself with his hand to go around behind him, although he didn't know what would appear from the hole, if it was an ordinary beast, it would be easy to deal with, but at this time there would be some ancient beasts inherited from the ancients in the mountains, sometimes many hunters disappeared inexplicably, it was said that they were killed by ancient beasts, but no one confirmed it.
Bai Cang knew that Gao Shun was worried about his safety, nodded and was about to move towards him, when he heard a faint voice that looked like a person talking, "Uncle, let's come here for nothing this time, next time you do it, you have to see it clearly."
"You kid knows a fart, this mountain extends in all directions, there are a lot of strange things, even if you investigate carefully in advance, you may not be able to get it, I think there is a bit of an evil door here, or don't come again in the future" A slightly old man replied.
The three people at the entrance of the cave heard the sound of the people, and their hearts fell, as long as they were people, it would be easy to do, no matter what kind of master was much stronger than the unpredictable beast, the mountain wing let out a breath and wiped the cold sweat, and his heart was a lot stronger.
"Wait, why do I think there's something unusual up ahead?" The old voice in the cave suddenly said, "Uncle has walked too much at night, and his courage has worn out," the young man said in a disgraceful voice.
"You're too young, we haven't encountered any strange things in this industry, and you've not experienced enough", "So what should we do now?" If you go back, you won't be able to get out of the mountain before dawn," the boy asked, "Don't make a sound, I'll tell if there's a situation outside."
Gao Shun compared a silent gesture, the three of them suddenly entered the state of closed breathing, closed breathing is the most basic method of internal strength, with their skills to close the breath for half an hour is not a problem, the deep internal force can hold the breath for a few days and nights, and then the upper realm is said to be able to reach the inner exhalation, to reach the earth realm is said to be able to sleep in the water, it is really incredible.
After about a tea time, the cave said, "Well, it should be that I feel like I'm making a mistake, let's go out quickly" The old man's voice came out, and the three of them were relieved.
Gradually, he could already hear the sound of footsteps, Bai Cang stared nervously at the entrance of the cave, and suddenly saw a head slowly poking out, but only a little poking out, he immediately retracted and shouted in a low voice, "Hurry up, there is an ambush."
Knowing that the two of them found themselves and others ambushed here, but it was too late to leave, Gao Shun came to the back of the person who spoke in a flash, and a steel knife was already on his neck, and said coldly, "It's too late to leave now, the one in front doesn't want him to die, just stop for me."
The scene was suddenly quiet, and the old man smiled and said in a deep voice: "This uncle doesn't know what Xiaoke has done, and he wants to arrest me?" “。
"It's worthy of being an old Jianghu, and you still have the ability to stay in danger, but you can fool those who don't know how to do it, and you still want to fool the past when it falls into my hands" Gao Shun mentioned the person in front of him, walked out of the cave like a chicken, and threw him to the ground and said.
At this time, another young man also came out, and was held together with the old man by the mountain wing, "Tell me, what's your name" Gao Shun asked in a deep voice when he saw that both of them were taken down.
"The old man should Shao, this young man is my nephew, named Yinglin, since he is planted in the hands of a hero today, please raise your hand and let me two lives, the old man knows the truth" Ying Shao saw that it had been taken, and he simply made a single.
Gao Shun nodded and said hello, "Listen to your tone, I've been engaged in this trip for a long time, and I won't listen to my past experiences, so let's talk about today's transaction, who sleeps here?" “。
"This hero", "Don't call me a hero, Lao Tzu is an official, tell you that Lao Tzu knows no less than you in this business, if you are not honest, be careful of your head" Gao Shun interrupted Ying Shao and reminded.
"Yes, how dare the old man hide it, this mountain was a place where the famous general Li Guang of the Han Dynasty was stationed hundreds of years ago, according to the old man's investigation, General Li should have been secretly buried here after his death, but the old man lasted more than a year, and he didn't find anything under the investigation of the ground, but I am afraid that the old man has found something wrong with the investigation, and he is already planning to give up" Ying Shao sorted out the clue and said the purpose of this trip.
The three of them were shocked when they heard this, they didn't know about it, especially Gao Shun knew the key, when the flying general Li Guangzhen guarded the border pass, he was the first general of the Great Khan, and even Wei Qinghuo and others were slightly inferior in terms of fame, if the tomb of this person was really discovered, the harvest might be unimaginable.
Is that true? General Fei has disappeared since the battle of Tiandang Mountain, no one in the world knows his whereabouts, and there are countless rumors, how can you conclude that he was buried here? Gao Shun asked at the moment.
"I'm not sure, I was really a little sure before, but now I really don't know the bottom in my heart, the old man also found a descendant of General Li's clan back then, listened to his legend to distinguish its authenticity, and researched more to infer it, if you don't believe the old man, there is nothing to do" Ying Shao spread his hands and told the truth.
At this point, Gao Shun said: "Since this is the case, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman, let's go down again to see if the rumors are true or false."
As soon as Ying Shao heard this, he immediately concluded that this person didn't understand the way at all, and he was just coaxing himself just now, but since he could recognize his own business, he should know something.
"The adult turned out to be a layman, but the old man did not hide it, the three more do not go down to the ground and do not raise their heads is the old rule in my line, the line is like the ancestral training can never be broken, not to mention that I have entered this mountain, there are many intricate tunnels in the mountain, if there are no legitimate measures can never be entered, it is not that I underestimate the adult, such as the adult so indiscriminately enter only afraid that it is difficult to come out again."
Gao Shun didn't blush when he saw through the truth, he was already interlaced like a mountain, he had only dealt with the people who did this business, and he didn't have an in-depth understanding, if he hadn't heard the two of them talking in the cave for a while, he wouldn't have thought of it.
"Why are there so many tunnels in this mountain? Has it been stolen? "It doesn't matter if you're an expert or not, just ask if you don't understand, I'm afraid that these two people won't tell the truth.
"Hehe, what the adults said is also possible, but the old man guessed that most of it was done by General Li himself before his death, one is that this garrison needs tunnels to transport and hoard materials, so that one may be in order not to be stolen by outsiders after death, so the suspicion is set, like some people who don't know the inside story when they see this situation in the mountains, I am afraid they will believe that it was stolen and give up" Ying Shao has been deposited here for many years, and is very proficient in this way, at this time, Gao Shun and everyone nodded again and again, and they have forgotten the identity of the two captives.
"Well, it seems that you do have some skills, but I underestimate you, in this case, I wonder if you two will give up trading here?" Gao Shun asked again.
Ying Shao smiled and said, "We don't care if this matter is called a transaction, but it is called taking dark goods, but this time this dark old man is a little overwhelmed, only this time he was almost lost below, fortunately, my family heirloom line mink led the way, otherwise it would never be possible to come up with it."
"Oh, you still have this good thing, can we show it?" When Bai Cang heard that there was such a magical little beast, he suddenly became curious and stepped forward to ask.
"Of course you can, but this is my family's heirloom beast, which only gives birth to one litter every ten years, and it is not easy to domesticate, I hope the adults will not force it to stay" Ying Shao looked at Gao Shun, only to see Gao Shun nodding and gently patting his belly with a little peace in his heart.
The three of Bai Cang looked at it curiously, only to see a squirm in Ying Shao's arms, and it was not likely that a small beast's head would be exposed, as soon as Ying Shao stretched out his hand, a gray shadow burst out of his arms like lightning, and ran back and forth along his arms for a week, attached to his shoulders, and stared at the three of Bai Cang with small eyes.
The three of them carefully looked at the little beast, its body was gray, more than a foot from head to tail, slender body with short limbs, two front paws with pointed nails, black light shining under the light of the fire, at a glance, it was not a problem to dig holes through the mountains.
Ying Shao saw that the three of them looked at the little beast and coughed and laughed, "I have domesticated this beast for many years, I understand my nature deeply, and my hearing and hearing are extremely keen, even if I am ten miles away, you can hear my summons, I have been exploring the mountains for many years, thanks to this beast" said while stroking the head of the little beast.
Bai Cang saw that the little beast was very obedient and wanted to reach out to touch it, and suddenly the fluff on the back of the mink stood up and glared angrily at Bai Cang, and two sharp teeth appeared on the side of his mouth, and his appearance was very vicious, making people shudder.
"How can such a psychic beast be easily touched by others, let's just take a look" Gao Shun grabbed Bai Cang, he knew that the more psychic beasts they were, the less easy it was to get close to people, only domesticated people could reach them, otherwise they could be injured at any time.
"I just think the little beast is very funny and I want to touch it, but I don't want to hurt it, just don't call it touching" Bai Cang regretfully retracted his hand and stood aside and looked up and down the ermine.
"The old man has told me the truth about what the adults asked, I wonder if the adults can let me and the two of us leave?" Ying Shao saw that Gao Shun was not as vigilant as he was at the beginning, and everyone laughed for a while and should be able to leave calmly.
"Hehehe, after all, the two of you are one of the industries prohibited by the imperial court, although the confession is more honest now, but if you violate the imperial law, you have to go to the yamen to go through the hall, and the rest of the matter is not up to me" Gao Shun said with a smile, his face turned very quickly, and he was talking and laughing just now, and suddenly he was going to take someone to the court.
Ying Shao's eyes immediately straightened when he heard this, and he trembled involuntarily.
