Chapter 298: Generational Feud 2 (II)
Disaster began, they sold everything they could, borrowed money everywhere, used all means, brought a large number of bankrupt peasants, small craftsmen, and even thieves and criminals here as their miners, and at first everything went well, they found some diamonds, those intoxicating colored diamonds, which became a luxury sought after by the European upper class, in order to hide their identities, the two changed their names to Tchaicher and Tchaikov, claiming to be nobles from the north, cousins who found the first pot of gold, While enriching the story of the red dragon compiled by the Loulan royal family to protect their property and royal tombs, they frantically excavated diamonds, ignoring the warnings of their ancestors, until one day, the mine was suddenly shrouded in a blue-green demon mist, and then, many people fell ill, they had difficulty breathing, and no matter how hard they tried to breathe, they could not escape the fate of suffocation. Just as everyone was about to bury these patients, they suddenly came to life, with blue-green saliva on the corners of their mouths, and their eyes were protruding, and they frantically attacked the living people......
Chen Badai saw the living dead in the town, just like in the record, the living dead frantically attacking anyone alive until they succeeded or fell......
The cousins and the living miners spent a whole winter fighting against the living dead, and the cold saved them, most of the living dead were frozen to death in the wasteland, turning into blue-green ice, while some hid in the caves, and the miners under the cousins suffered heavy losses, and less than a third of them remained, and they promised a lot of money to seal the caves that emitted demonic mist, and turned to dig in other directions. But in that summer, the terrifying devours poured out of the ground, and the people and horses surrounded by the devours turned into the bones of Bai Sensen in an instant, and the cousins could no longer support it, and they began to quarrel, the royal tomb could not be disturbed, and the diamond mine should also be re-closed, but the old Tchaikov thought that with his strong financial resources, he could solve all the problems that his ancestors could not solve, and the two sides repeated in contradictions, but never broke up. The devouring insects finally disappeared during the winter months. Old Tchaicher began to be afraid, afraid of the curse of the wizard that had haunted the heads of the Loulan royal family for thousands of years, but old Tchaikov did not know what method to use, and in the spring, he brought many miners, they closed the wormhole and the cave of the witch, and took the peerless red diamond - the "Red Dragon Heart" in the depths of the mine, he felt that the curse was just a punishment for him to take away the crown, as long as he retrieved the crown and dedicated the most precious "Red Dragon Heart" to the royal tomb, then everything was settled. His children and grandchildren can live a luxurious life for generations, and they no longer need to wait for death in despair in poverty, so that the royal family of Loulan will really be cut off!
Old Tchaicher promised to take another risk, but he took the "Red Dragon's Heart" for himself and brought it to Europe, and he was about to give up, relinquishing his duties as guardian of the Tomb and the coveted diamond mines.
But the appearance of the "Red Dragon Heart" in Europe made everything irretrievable, and the story of the red dragon compiled by the Loulan royal family made more people know about the existence of this diamond mine. Those people with dreams of getting rich poured into the wasteland, in order to keep "their own" wealth, old Tchaichel had to return to the wasteland, maintaining the precarious relationship with old Tchaikov, the two tried their best to make up countless legends of the red dragon, those wasteland treasure hunters did not find the location of the diamond mine, but the rift between the cousins was expanding, in the process of mining diamonds, demon fog and devouring insects plagued them all the time, old Tchaicher persuaded old Tchaikov to give up several times, But old Tchaikov promised that he had found a solution, that they would finish the construction of the royal tomb, that the starry sky and the altar would connect their souls and those of their ancestors, and that everything would be fine as long as they offered the "Red Dragon Heart" to their ancestors. He asked old Citchell for the "Red Dragon's Heart", but old Citchier concealed the fact that he had sold it, and the two sides repaired the ancestors' tombs in suspicion to alleviate their sins and get the ancestors' forgiveness, but the project was far from being as simple as thought, and the cousin spent 20 years trying to find a psychological balance between curse and wealth, and many miners died for it, and in order to complete the project, the mining of diamonds also stopped in the last few years, and the miners began to make noise and began to mutiny- In the face of endless death threats, they can no longer hold up the courage to continue.
In such a situation, after repairing and replenishing the starry sky, no matter what, the cousins were no longer able to complete the construction of the altar and the main hall, and their abnormality also made rumors spread, and the secret of the tomb of the king of Loulan was also rumored among the people, everything could no longer be hidden, and the two decided to permanently seal the diamond mine and the royal tomb. They tricked everyone who knew the location of the mine into the mine, and they planned to sneak away while the people were robbing the diamonds, and then blow up the exit with explosives, using their greed to make up for their big mistake......
When Chen Badai saw this, he felt a chill down his spine. According to the manuscript, a total of 1,600 people arrived, and they happily prepared to join the ranks of the rich, but they did not know that everything was a trap laid by two cousins......
But in the end, the situation deviated, and the old Tchaicher did not get out of here, but the old Tchaikov left. According to the manuscript, when old Tchair was about to leave, the miners seemed to smell something wrong, but old Tchaikov sneaked away, and without waiting for his cousin, he blew up the exit and left old Tchaicher in this dark underground.
At the end of the record, old Tchaicher cursed Tchaikov and his descendants with the most vicious language of mankind, and those words could not bear to look at directly.
Mr. Min probably flipped through the manuscript, and it turned out that this was the case.
"In order to cover up their crimes, the Tchaikovs snatched a large number of manuscripts from old Tchaicher and made up countless lies, but they would not have imagined that one day I would stand in front of my ancestors and listen to the accusations of my ancestors hundreds of years ago!" Dick said viciously, "I will make Tchaikov pay!" It's up to me to decide the price! ”
Mr. Min handed the manuscript to Chen Badai, Chen Badai took it, and continued to flip back, and the back recorded were the engineering drawings of the altar and the starry sky, the location and use of the mechanism, as well as the direction of the underground diamond mine's veins, passages, closed worm caves, and the place of death of the green mist, etc., with such a detailed map, Chen Badai couldn't help but be a little overjoyed - it would be easy to find the diamond mine in this way!
Chen Badai flipped back to see if he could find more surprises, but on the last few pages, there were lines of scribbled handwriting, and it was clear that the notes were different from the previous Volcker.
"What's written on this?" Chen Badai couldn't recognize the scribbled handwriting, and handed the book to Mr. Min.
"This is old Tchaikov's handwriting," Mr. Min looked at and said slowly, "he should have seen the manuscript, and he explained to his cousin at the end that he did not deliberately abandon old Tchaicher, but that someone had already sensed their plan at that time, and that he could only light the dynamite against his will in order to guard the diamond mines and the royal tomb, and that he would take over the responsibility of old Citchell guarding the royal tomb, and that he and his descendants would guard the royal tomb and guard the soul of old Tscir. ”
"He came back later?" Chen Badai was a little puzzled.
"It should be, and later he recorded his guilt for not being able to find the crown, and asked for the forgiveness of his ancestors." Mr. Min flipped back and saw this note.
"That's how he stole my power from me! I am the only descendant of the Guardians of the Tomb, why should I bear the curse and he should get away with it! Dick said viciously.
"Mr. Min, there is another paragraph at the end, can you see what is written?" Chen Badai felt that Dick would not be able to stop if he continued to speak, so he quickly interrupted him.
"The 'Heart of the Red Dragon' has been returned, and the crown will continue to be pursued, from now on, you are the Red Dragon, the Red Dragon is you, you guard the royal tomb, I swear in the name of Loulan, I and my descendants, swear to protect the Red Dragon and the Royal Tomb, never open this place again, may my cousin's soul be at peace!" This sentence seems to be more like a confession, a person who is burdened with the murder of his cousin, and repents with the protection of the afterlife.
"You are the red dragon, the red dragon is you? What does this phrase mean? Mr. Min was a little puzzled, and this sentence also appeared on the title page.
Chen Badai looked up at Old Chatchel curled up on the stone chair, and said in a low voice: "He is the Red Dragon, and the 'Red Dragon's Heart' is his heart!" ”
"What?" The mayor looked confused.
"Give it a try!" Chen Badai pulled out his knife and gently picked off the miner's suit that was covering old Citchell.
"I'm just trying to find the 'Red Dragon's Heart', and I don't have any disrespect for the deceased!" Chen Badai whispered, but he couldn't help but glance at the eyes of old Citchell, whose head was tilted to the side, and he felt that his eyes seemed to widen a little.
Chen Badai was so frightened that he took a step back, and when he looked closely, it turned out that the fear in his heart made him look away, and he still maintained that posture, not changing at all.
Chen Badai settled down, cut the thick miner's uniform with a knife, and he saw that there was a wound in front of old Citchell's chest......
"'Red Dragon's Heart'! Oh my God, we've found it! When Chen Badai opened old Chatchel's chest and pulled the thing out of it, Mr. Min, Dick, and Mayor Marew cried out in unison......
It's a fist-sized, finely carved pink diamond, more than any other diamond in existence! And the blue diamond of the heart of the ocean, which once carried a poignant love story, can only be dwarfed in front of it! The pink diamond carved into a faceted heart shape also has a blood core the size of an egg, and this blood diamond that is integrated with the pink diamond looks like a heart from any angle! Deflect the "Red Dragon's Heart", and under the illumination of the light, the blood diamond seems to beat, as if the red dragon's heart is beating vigorously.
Chen Badai couldn't believe that what he was holding was a priceless treasure! This diamond can no longer be measured by wealth, he believes that after the "Red Dragon Heart" reappears in the world, all the rich people in the world will be crazy about it, just like the old Tchaicher and the old Tchaikov hundreds of years ago, as well as the miners lying in this stone chamber, as well as the countless aristocratic royal families in Europe, no one can resist the temptation of the "Red Dragon Heart", even if it is broken, everyone wants to have it, even if it is only for a second!
Chen Badai held the "Heart of the Red Dragon", and the flickering light of the "Heart of the Red Dragon" fascinated him, and through this light, Chen Badai saw his future, the future of infinite scenery and extravagance......
Chen Badai didn't dare to move, the "Red Dragon Heart" seemed to have magical power, and all the people who watched it being taken out seemed to be frozen, looking at this rare treasure steadily, even the mayor who had been complaining all the way looked at the light it emitted greedily, holding his breath, for fear of exhaling in one breath, all of this turned into a sweet dream.
The four of them looked at the "Red Dragon's Heart" fixedly, and the light of the "Red Dragon's Heart" mesmerized them. The stone chamber suddenly lit up with fire, and it turned out that there were some braziers on the edge of the stone chamber, and with the squeak of the fuse, those braziers lit up in turn, illuminating the stone chamber.
"Dick! No one is allowed to disturb the royal tomb in Loulan! Find out if you're lost! That's enough! Suddenly, Tchaikov's loud voice sounded in the stone chamber.
Dick turned his head to see that Tchaikov and the others had come in from the west side of the stone chamber, it was Wang Xingguo who had lit the braziers, and Tchaikov and Pandey were running towards the high platform.
