XXV. The Frost Blade has not been tried
"Hurry up and dig it, it's easy to attract fierce beasts when you light a fire in the mountains, and there may be tigers in deep mountains like this." One of the taller men wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the bearded man next to him.
"You have to pick this place, do you really not know, or do you not know, this mountain is notoriously sinister, and it is a fucking ......," the bearded man said halfway before being interrupted by a tall man.
"Shh~~~ Be quiet, I know I know, but so what, do you really believe that there is such a thing? That's all a lie, and if you ask the people living in the mountains, no one has ever ever seen a ghost in the mountains. Uh, bah, bah, "The tall man, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, quickly spit out a few mouthfuls and moved out of the bad breath.
"You see, you don't believe what you say." The big man with a beard on his face was very dissatisfied with the tall man, he stopped what he was doing, shook his head and said: "I can't do this job, this is really hurtful, digging people's graves, I really can't do this." ”
"You, don't forget, your daughter-in-law is still pregnant, but what about you, you don't even have the money to hire a midwife, right? Do you deliver the baby for your daughter-in-law yourself? The tall man grinned and exhorted.
The bearded man sighed, pulled his face, looked at the shovel in his hand, and shook his head helplessly. After thinking about it for a while, he dug the pit again.
"Alas, brother, like you, I am all for a living, who has nothing to do to dig up people's ancestral graves? I don't want to do this kind of immoral thing. The tall man persuaded again.
The two of them began to dig again, only the tall man of the two people was a professional tomb robber, he heard that there were ancient tombs in this group of mountains, so he specially found a local strong man, and the two of them went up the mountain to rob the tomb together.
The tall man walked around the mountains by himself for two days, and finally found a cemetery that looked more like an ancient tomb.
If you want to blame Zhao Xiu, you can blame Zhao Xiu for making this fake cemetery too realistic, and even experts are slapping their eyes.
Below this cemetery is the passage to the Dark Mountain, Zhao Xiu was afraid that the residents in the mountain would be suspicious, so he specially invited a master to imitate it. The cemetery is a cemetery built in strict accordance with Feng Shui and the standards of the ancient wealthy. Acting a full set, Zhao Xiu, just in case, deliberately spent a lot of money to put all the funeral goods in the cemetery neatly, and also put more than a dozen corpses in the coffin.
Zhao Xiu lay on the ground, crawling forward, and finally saw the situation next to the fire clearly after climbing more than ten feet. The scene in the cemetery saw Zhao Xiu crying and laughing.
"I didn't expect that I would find a fake cemetery at random, and someone would really come to steal it, so I had to admire my ability to counterfeit. Hahaha. Zhao Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he didn't hide his face in the weeds on the ground.
In the silence of the night, the two robbers were very nervous, and both of them felt something unusual in the grass.
"Who? Is it human? The bearded man felt that he couldn't stop shivering, and he was a little cold.
"You're stupid, there will be someone at this time? It's supposed to be a beast in the mountains and forests, I'll go and see it. The tall man bent down and slowly put down the shovel and walked in the direction where Zhao Xiu was lying on his stomach.
The tall man was also very nervous, he clenched his fist, raised his fist in front of his chest, and took out a dagger from his waist with his other hand, and slowly touched it forward.
Suddenly, the tall man felt a gust of wind behind him, and then there was no light in front of him. Looking back, the fire that was still lit just now has been extinguished.
The tall man was so frightened that he squatted directly on the ground and yelled in the direction of the fire: "Bastard, why did you extinguish the torch?" ”
The big man with a beard in the direction of the fire said weakly: "I didn't extinguish the fire, but a gust of wind blew it out for him." ”
"Quick, light it, light the fire." The tall man felt cold all over his body, and hurriedly squatted down and moved closer to the fire.
The big man with a beard on his face trembled and took out the fire fold from his arms, unscrewed the oil cap, and a small stream of flames suddenly gushed out. But before the big man could light the fire, another gust of wind blew, and the small flames of the fire were also blown out.
"Woo woo~" The bearded man stared at the fire fold in his hand, shouted in fright, and threw the fire fold out with a shake of his hand, and threw it into the fire that had just been extinguished impartially.
There was still a trace of flame left in the fire that had just been extinguished, and the flame happened to be on the fire breaker, and the torch was directly re-lit.
"Woo." The bearded man saw the fire and stopped screaming.
"You, what are you howling about? Sick. The tall man had already trotted over, staring at the sweaty head and nervously.
The big man with a beard turned his head and saw that the tall man looked as if he had just crawled out of the water. He said with a hint of begging for mercy: "Brother Wang, let's withdraw, we won't steal this tomb, I'll return the money to you, can you send me back?" ”
The tall man frowned, dressed roughly, wiped his sweat with his sleeve and whispered, "Did you see that thing?" ”
The bearded man shook his head reluctantly and said, "I didn't look at it, but it's almost gone." No, I really can't stay any longer. After saying that, the big man got up and was about to leave, but the tall man grabbed him with one hand.
"Come back, you coward, you can't ......"
"Knock, knock, knock."
The tall man wanted to persuade the other man to stay, but he was suddenly frightened by a loud noise, which came from the nearest tomb next to the two of them.
"Knock, knock." The sound in the tomb was like the sound of someone knocking on wood, and the two men stared at the dirt on the graveyard in unison.
With the sound of "knock" in the tomb, the clods of soil in front of the two kept bulging upward, as if something was about to break through the soil.
To say that the tall man still had a bit of luck just now, he was completely scared now. Both men were stunned and froze in place, at a loss. Until......
A hand suddenly sprang out of the raised soil in front of the two of them, a pale and slender hand, and there were still bright red blood stains on the hand.
"Ahh Ah~" The two big men howled miserably in the middle of the night, and the sound spread throughout the deep mountains, adding a trace of fear to the deep mountains at night. The two of them stood up like flying, ran away, and ran down the hill without looking back.
The hand that stretched out from the soil in the cemetery gradually retracted into the soil. Zhao Xiu sat up from the ground, looked at the two people who ran down the mountain, and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Zhao Xiu frowned again, and his eyes gradually lost their luster, as if he was thinking about something.
Another gust of wind blew, and there was an extra person behind Zhao Xiu.
"What are you thinking?" Xuemao patted the dirt on his body, sat down next to Zhao Xiu, looked at Zhao Xiu for a long time, and asked when he saw that he didn't speak.
Zhao Xiu came back to his senses, "Hey, here, I'm thinking about these two people." ”
"These two tomb robbers? Do they have a problem? If there is a problem, it's too late to kill now. "Blood Mao's left hand was already holding the long knife.
Zhao Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not that these two people have a problem, it's that their reaction is very strange, which makes me have new ideas." ”
"Strange reaction? Are you sure you don't have to kill both of them? Xuemao still didn't understand what Zhao Xiu said, and asked again uncertainly.
Zhao Xiu smiled after hearing this: "Ha, we have made too many killings, it doesn't hurt to let the two of them go, not to mention that there is nothing wrong with the two of them themselves." ”
Blood Mao breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the hilt of his sword with his left hand, rested his hands on the grass, and nodded.
"I say they reacted strangely because they were scared when the fire was blown out by the wind and not as they were used to it. Normally, it's not a big deal to blow out a weakened torch in the wild. So why are they so nervous? ”
Blood Mao raised his eyebrows, as if he was saying that such a mentally retarded question should be answered?
"Because they're robbing tombs." Xuemao didn't understand why Zhao Xiu asked this.
"Yes, the same fire, which is blown out by the wind during the day, will be rekindled by the people. And at night in the cemetery, they were making a fuss and screaming. This reminds me of the current situation in Liaozhou. ”
Zhao Xiu closed his eyes, tilted his head, and slowly lay on the grass. It was no surprise for Xuemao to see the scene of Zhao Xiu with his eyes closed. He knew that this was Zhao Xiu's signature way of contemplation, and in the general altar of the Demon Guard, many major decisions and decisions were made by Zhao Xiu in this way.
"Shi Hongzong's move in Shangjing, all the states of Tianwu will make some moves, and Zhang Jin, as Shi Hongzong's shadow son in Liaozhou, will not make no action at all. I don't know what happened in the past two days, I was always inexplicably anxious, always subconsciously trying to provoke Zhang Jin, and today I missed Zhang Jin's family. Zhao Xiu said to himself, and the blood didn't dare to disturb.
"Zhang Jin is an old fox, and the more I provoke him, the more likely he is to endure it. I'd have to think of something else to force him to do, and just now I came up with a plan that I'd like to boast about. ”
The blood came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What plan?" ”
"Reorganize the pattern of Liaozhou, suppress Zhang Jin, and set up a new force, and this force cannot be ourselves, we must support a common enemy of me and Zhang Jin. Use this enemy to create an illusion in Liaozhou, an illusion that Liaozhou is about to break away from the control of me and Zhang Jin. ”
"Wouldn't that lure the wolf into the house?" Xuemao understood Zhao Xiu's thoughts, but he really couldn't agree.
"So how to control a wolf has become the key to the plan, this illusion is like a cemetery in the dark night, Zhang Jin is like a tomb robber, and I am like you pretending to be a ghost in the cemetery, as long as you give Zhang Jin a little hint, he will fall into his own shadow and make a knee-jerk reaction."
Zhao Xiu turned his head to look at Xuemao, and when he saw his two big eyes staring straight at Zhao Xiu, he knew that Xuemao didn't understand at all.
Zhao Xiu smiled, stood up, and patted the dirt on his buttocks.
"All in all, you've got work to do again."
"Great, it's been a long time since I've been moving, and I want to do it every day." Blood Mao laughed.
