Uncle Monkey took us through the desert with the memories of the day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know how long it took to go, but the wolf lord suddenly stopped. His pause made us and the others all stop.

"Lord Wolf, what's wrong"? Uncle Monkey looked at the wolf master and asked suspiciously.

The wolf lord did not answer immediately, Uncle Monkey, but looked up at the sky, I also looked up out of curiosity, there was nothing else in the sky except the moon and stars, I really don't know what the wolf lord was looking at.

The wolf lord looked at it for a moment, and his expression slowly became serious. Frowning, he pulled a compass out of his pocket. I wanted to see what it was, so I approached the wolf master, and saw that the compass was made of bronze, and it was very exquisite. The most conspicuous thing on the roulette wheel is the engraved word "wolf". In the center of the compass is a glass sphere with a marble in it, and the eight directions around the glass ball are marked.

I muttered in my heart, could this be the treasure of the Wolf Gate Sect? Sirius Disk. It is recorded in ancient books that the wolf disk can accurately find the ancient tomb, and I don't know if it is true or not.

The wolf master held the wolf plate in his right hand, and opened his mouth to chant, "The soil is one zhang high is the mountain, and the soil is one zhang low, and the water loops, if you want to find the real dragon tomb." It still needs the wolf to lead the way."

After reciting this incantation, the wolf lord looked up at the sky, and my curiosity was aroused, and I hurriedly looked at the sky, only to see one of the thousands of stars in the sky shining brightly.

Immediately after that, the small glass ball in the glass ball also lit up slightly and rolled, and the small glass ball slowly rolled to the southeast.

The wolf lord looked at Uncle Monkey, and Uncle Monkey nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go and take a look."

The two of them didn't say much, but I already knew in my heart that if the one that the wolf master was holding in his hand was really the Wolf Gate Great Sect Heavenly Wolf Plate, then the Wolf Lord must have relied on the Heavenly Wolf Plate to find the ancient tomb.

We didn't go far, so we got off the camel and switched to walking, at this time Uncle Monkey was a little worried, he told Heizi and Xiao Yao to stay where they were, and ordered them to take care of the camel and luggage. Uncle Monkey, he and the wolf master and I continue to search.

We didn't go far in the southeast direction, and the glass beads in the compass became brighter and brighter. Only then did the wolf master stop. The terrain is sliding, and it's like a depression. It looks like most of the sand has been scraped away after the sandstorm. The wolf lord looked at Uncle Monkey on the side, Uncle Monkey understood what the wolf master meant, he snatched the only military shovel from my hand and rushed down. It didn't stop until it was at the lowest point. He waved at me and the wolf. Master Wolf said to me, "You go back immediately and bring your tools."

I nodded, and went back to Kuroko and Xiao Yao the way I came. I didn't call both of them over, after all, camels and luggage need to be guarded, Kuroko has a lot of strength, and Xiao Yao is not very easy to communicate. So I chose to bring Kuroko over and let Xiao Yao stay and watch the luggage.

Kuroko and I took the headlamps, flashlights, shovels, and daggers we needed and headed straight for Uncle Monkey and them.

When we arrived, Uncle Monkey had already dug a big pit in the desert, but he didn't see anything at all, and all he dug out was sand.

The two of us and Uncle Monkey, the three of us began to continue digging, although Uncle Monkey was the first time to come to this big desert, but he was also very experienced in digging things under the desert, he taught the two of us how to dig. The two of us also used all the anger we were holding here. As for Uncle Wolf, he is on the side to illuminate and direct us.

We dug for nearly half an hour. Finally dug something, it was the sunspot who dug it first, and he went down with a shovel, and the shovel was only half in. And then there's the sound of touching something again. Kuroko shouted loudly as if he had dug up a treasure.

If he had shouted like this before, Uncle Monkey would definitely have beaten him severely. But now it was a little different, Uncle Monkey didn't scold him, but hurriedly came over. Under his guidance, I cleared all the sand from the top. What was buried beneath the sands was exposed to our eyes.

It was a stone face made of blue-gray stones. The stone wasn't big, just a little bigger than the stone on the wall of the house.

"Uncle Monkey, is there really something, is this an ancient tomb"? Kuroko asked excitedly. I know why he is so excited, because if he happens to go to the ancient tomb, maybe there will be treasures, so that Kuroko will not have to be reimbursed by Uncle Monkey for the money he spent on necessities.

Uncle Monkey nodded and said, "It should be a stone tomb in the desert."

The wolf lord slowly squatted down, he nodded his hand and stuffed it into my hand, and then took out two daggers from his waist and handed one of them to Uncle Monkey. Uncle Monkey took the dagger, and the two began to move. They used daggers to start cutting along the gaps between the stones, obviously trying to pull out the stones, and the two of them were veterans of tomb robbing, and their movements were very sophisticated.

After a moment they gently pulled out the stone after stone, and a small hole appeared in front of us. Uncle Monkey put on a headlamp and burrowed his head into the stone cave, and only after confirming that there was no danger inside, he was relieved.

We put on our headlamps and got ready to go inside. Before going in again, Uncle Monkey repeatedly told him to obey the arrangement after entering, otherwise he didn't care what happened, and Heizi and I naturally nodded in agreement, and even if Uncle Monkey didn't say it, the two of us didn't dare to mess with other things after we went in, because we were also afraid.

Uncle Monkey was the first to jump into the cave, and we followed. It was very dim and smelled of decay. We began to look around, and the walls and floors around it were made of square stone slabs. The stone walls are carved with large and small patterns, and on both sides of the tomb are wooden pillars, on which are placed braziers, which can be seen to be used for ignition.

There was a circular stone platform in the center of the burial chamber, and we slowly leaned over it, and when we got closer, we realized that there was a white skeleton on the stone platform. I followed Uncle Monkey to the tomb before, so I didn't feel scared, but the sunspot on the side was not so calm, he subconsciously stepped back, and then said in a trembling voice, "This..... How can there be a white skeleton here..... It's scary."

"Stinky boy, it's just a white bone, it scares you." Uncle Monkey looked at Kuroko and said reproachfully.

I took a closer look at the corpse. It wasn't a complete corpse, and I shivered as I could imagine how painful he was when he was born. Not only that, but even the foot bones are gone. A sudden thought occurred to me, could this be the legendary sacrifice?

The wolf master who stepped forward to check also noticed this detail, and he took a flashlight and said, "This ...... It looks like a sacrifice."

After the wolf master said this, Uncle Monkey shifted his gaze to the corpse, he looked at the corpse and then said with some doubts, "If this is a sacrifice, it stands to reason that there should not be so many fractures, and the feet seem to have been pressed by some heavy object, resulting in no foot bones."

"Uncle Monkey, you are making a bit of a fuss, which of those prisoners in ancient times was not subjected to heavy punishment, such as what kind of sticking, branding, whipping or something...... So it's normal to have a few breaks on your body." Kuroko was no longer so scared at this point, and he put his arm on my shoulder and said with a smile, as if to show his knowledge of ancient punishments.

Uncle Monkey didn't answer Kuroko's words, but glared at Kuroko, just this one look alone was enough to make Kuroko afraid, and he immediately closed his mouth.

Uncle Monkey called me forward, slipped the flashlight into my hand and asked me to light him, and he picked up the skull of the corpse, which was so large that I could imagine how big the man's face must be. Uncle Monkey blew the dust off the skull, then took out a small broom from his pocket and swept the skull. I saw that on the left side of the skull's forehead, there was an engraved "will". The words, I don't know if it's because it's too old, or it's not carved deeply, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. Although my history is not very good, I can pass every exam, and it was common to carve the word "prisoner" on the face of prisoners during the Song Dynasty, but it is the first time I have seen the word "general" carved on the head, which is the practice.

Out of doubt, I asked, "Uncle Monkey, what does this character represent?" Is it a criminal general"?

Uncle Monkey put down the skull, rubbed the dust on his hands, and then said, "This is the first time I have seen this kind of sacrificial method, but I have seen this kind of sacrificial method in the book, the previous 36 countries in the Western Regions have been at war all year round, and the Fox Hu Country is even more warful, and the leaders of the Fox Hu Country know that they are deeply guilty, so they are worried that they will suffer from hell in the underworld after death." So they searched all kinds of sorcerers to find a way to prevent this kind of retribution from happening after death, and one of them came up with such a method for the leader of the Fox Hu Kingdom, called the Yin Soldier Yin General Guide the Way. It means that after death, the Yin soldier Yin will help guide the way to Elysium. To avoid the suffering of hell, but this method of sacrifice is very cruel, first take the method of Yin general sacrifice as an example, you need to choose a general who can fight well, and sacrifice while he is still alive, first break all of his body in many places, and then put it on the sacrificial platform to let the deceased die slowly and naturally in grief, so that the deceased can bring all the resentment into the ground. The method is very cruel, and there is even a way to crush the bones of the sacrificer's foot with a heavy object so that it cannot even move. The more resentment of the sacrificed person before death, the more powerful the Yin general who guards the tomb, this is the most terrifying part of this kind of sacrifice, there is no way to use a low-level general, that is to say, the higher the rank of the general, the more powerful the Yin general, as for the method of Yin soldier sacrifice and the sacrifice method of the Yin general, according to the age of the tomb owner, select the corresponding elite soldiers, let these soldiers hang themselves around the tomb owner, in order to protect the tomb owner. This is the underworld will open the way, and the soldiers will guard it. As for the inscriptions on their skulls, they are only meant to represent their identity."

"It's so cruel, it's definitely a feudal superstition for us." Kuroko muttered, "Uncle Monkey, this just one person dies and needs so many people to be buried with him, and he is a general and a soldier, it's grand enough."

Uncle Monkey nodded and said, "Indeed, this sacrificial method is very expensive, so ordinary people can't use it, only princes and nobles can." He took the flashlight from my hand and walked around, "Let's split up and look for it, and as long as we can find a pile of hanging bones, we can find the coffin of the tomb owner."

Hearing Uncle Monkey say this, I and Kuroko began to search, although this tomb is not small, but there is no other way, the complete sign is a sealed tomb, and the black and numb can not be sure if there is a secret door.

Kuroko didn't disperse with me, but followed me closely, I asked him why he followed me, he looked around and whispered to me, "You are stupid, this tomb is so dark and so big, there is a terrible aura in the air, plus Uncle Monkey said that just now, I am even more weak-hearted, so it is better for the two of us to be together."

"You kid, what did you say before you came when you were scared?" I laughed at him.

Kuroko, this kid, swore before he came, in order to persuade Uncle Monkey to take him with him, he said anything big, I remember the biggest thing he said was that he said that he would protect me along the way, open up a path for me, and also said that he would meet ghosts and kill ghosts, and kill Buddhas when he met Buddhas.

"I didn't want Uncle Monkey to take me with me, and besides, I don't believe that you are not afraid." Kuroko glanced at me and said.

I didn't answer his question because I thought it was very naïve. Before I knew it, I was in a corner of the tomb. The pattern carved into the stone wall caught my eye, and I reached out and fumbled for the pattern on the wall and began to figure it out.

"Hey, I said Ah Ming, are you listening to me?" Kuroko was a little impatient, he walked to my side, touched the wall with one hand and looked at me and said, he touched it, something unexpected happened, the stone was completely dented. This surprised both Kuroko and me.

I stared at Kuroko with wide eyes, and Kuroko didn't take his hand away, but said with some fear, "Ah, did I touch any mechanism, and if I take my hand away, will I be killed by random arrows, this kind of scene I often see in TV dramas."

I shook my head, I didn't know much at this point, but it was worth praying in my heart that Kuroko was not pressing. Fujian Province courier fee customer asked hungry Oh Buddha I and the rich database and realized that the transportation network IEUI beat was shortlisted for 1
