Next Chapter

Qi Tian was a special soldier of the Shenyang Military Region of China, who captured fugitives on the border of Baitou Mountain, and died together with the overseas mercenaries who received the fugitives.

******

1896, Spring.

The land of Kanto is the "land of dragon prosperity" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, where the dragon veins gather.

An Orion's house at the foot of Mt. Paektu.

After waking up, Qi Tian learned from the mouth of the old hunter that his grandson, who had the same name as him, went out a few days ago, unfortunately encountered a bear foraging for food, was forced to fall off the cliff, and was seriously injured.

The old hunter knew that Qi Tian had broken his brain, and knew that vague memories were normal, so he didn't doubt it too much.

Qi Tian took advantage of this to exploit the loophole of "amnesia".

However, it took Qi Tian a day and a night to fully accept the fact that he was reborn.

Although Qi Tian in his previous life was a special soldier and his body was too strong, Qi Tian in this life was very weak.

The old hunters hunted every day, and most of their food was birds and animals.

In particular, the bone marrow of animals is more conducive to Qi Tian after rebirth, consolidating the foundation and strengthening the body.

After half a moon of forging, coupled with the supply of meat and poultry, Qi Tian's body is no longer what it used to be.

Qi Tian is a special soldier, and his insight ability is extraordinary, in recent days, he found that the old Orion is always preoccupied, Qi Tian asked, but the old Orion refused to confide half a sentence.

After dinner, the old hunter paced back and forth on the ground, and Qi Tian knew that the old hunter was going to be unable to hold back.

Early the next morning, when Qi Tian came back from a run, the old hunter said at the dinner table: "After a while, I will finish (eating) in a while, go to the big market to buy something, and the day after tomorrow you will be seventeen, and it is time to take you to meet that person." ”

Hearing the old Orion say this, Qi Tian understood that he was a very important person, but Qi Tian didn't take this matter to heart.

He's a soldier and knows that curiosity can kill people.

After the old Orion left, Qi Tian put on a thick cotton jacket and a wolf skin coat to protect against the wind and cold, and walked out of the house.

Qi Tian has been going out for a lot of runs lately, but he hasn't looked closely at this yard.

This is an old-fashioned adobe house, and since the stove is burning at home, white smoke is rising from the chimney on the right side of the house, so Qi Tian will not find it strange.

There are two stacks of firewood in the yard, and to the left of the stack is a hawthorn tree. On the right, there is a two-square-meter wooden chicken coop with five colorful pheasants with extremely long tails.

Next to the chicken coop is an animal house about two meters in diameter made of stones, Qi Tian did not see any animals, and was ready to leave.

Suddenly, an extremely ugly-looking pig ran out of the darkness, and I was shocked when I looked closely, because this pig-like animal was a badger.

Then Qi Tian remembered that it was the representative animal of Hufflepuff House in the movie "Harry Potter". It also appears in primary school textbooks, "Juvenile Leap Earth".

"The picture in the textbook is very memorable!"

Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew, blowing down the snow on a red pine tree next to the yard, and the snowflakes blew on Qi Tian's face, and he suddenly came back to his senses from his memory.

Then he turned around, and as far as the eye could see, the snow-capped, reckless mountains, like a white dragon entrenched on the earth, were spectacular.

I immediately remembered the poem: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow." Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless...... All the past, several winds. Flow characters, but also look at the present. ”

In his previous life, Qi Tian, although he was a special soldier, often exercised in the mountains, but it was in summer and autumn, and he rarely saw such a scene in winter.

Looking at such a majestic and atmospheric scenery, I couldn't help but feel on a whim, and immediately set up a formation and played a set of military body fists.

The fighting techniques of the previous life have long been integrated into the bones, blood and mind, even if they are reborn, how dare they forget?

After Qi Tian practiced a complete set of military body fists, layers of fine sweat had already seeped out of his forehead, and the whole person became refreshed.

Qi Tian looked at the thick snow under the red pine tree, and immediately became playful, and then went back to the house to get cotton gloves - to build a snowman.

When it comes to building a snowman, the bigger the snow, the better.

Qi Tian moved quickly, and after a while, he built a snowman, used two burning charcoal as the eyes of the snowman, and since there was no carrot, he plucked a chicken feather on the pheasant as the snowman's nose. Stick a twig on the side of the snowman.

In this era of scarcity of resources and food, food is very important, and the old hunter still lives at the foot of Baitou Mountain, in addition to eating meat all year round, only eating Wotou, and wanting to eat a meal of bean buns or bud rice stubble is an extremely luxurious thing.

As for the few pheasants raised, the eggs laid were also given to the frail Qi Tian, and the old hunter was naturally reluctant.

Just when Qi Tian was complacent about the snowman he had built, the voice of the old hunter came from not far away.

"You little deflated calf, why did you come out again?"

The reason why the old Orion said this is also because he loves Sun very much, after all, he is in good health, and he really doesn't want anything to happen anymore.

"It's easy to get sick when you're always in the house, come out to breathe, and build a snowman." Qi Tian said with a smile.

"Build a snowman? See what you can. The old hunter gave Qi Tian a roll of his eyes as he spoke.

Qi Tian didn't care, so he hurriedly ran up and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I'll come!" Don't bother you. ”

"No, it's okay if I'm tired, but I can't tire you." Old Orion said and blocked Qi Tian's hand. "Look at the way you can't lift your hands and your shoulders to resist."

"Grandpa, after this incident, I decided to start exercising, I don't want to worry about you anymore." Qi Tian said with a serious face.

Old Orion looked at Qi Tian with a look of surprise. "What stimulated you, why did you change sex?"

Qi Tian ignored it, and then said, "Grandpa, what good things did you buy?" ”

"It's all good things, and they're all for use." Old Orion said, his eyes revealing a hint of sadness and tenacity.

The two walked through the courtyard and were about to open the door and enter the house, when the corner of the old Orion's eyes fell, the position where Qi Tian practiced the military body fist, and the snow on the ground was very strong.

As an old hunter for decades, his acuity and insight are naturally extremely strong, of course, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that Qi Tian was cold and stomped his feet.

Offered?

Qi Tian thought to himself: It turned out that he was going to pay tribute to the dead.

……

……

Early the next morning.

After the grandfather and grandson finished breakfast, the old hunter asked Qi Tian to put on a thick cotton jacket, put on a wolf skin coat, take the necessary supplies, and leave the house.

Nothing to say all the way.

Soon, the two came to the vicinity of their destination.

"Go through the col ahead and we'll be there." As he spoke, the old hunter pointed to a place not far between the two mountains.

After finishing speaking, he tightened the clothes on Qi Tian's body.

Qi Tian could feel that the old Orion's seriousness and solemnity seemed to be going to meet a great man.

"There are often wild beasts in this place, not blowing with you, but borrowing the courage of the two of them to try, and destroying one another. Your grandfather and I, the archers, are not called for nothing. For decades, I have been hunting here, and the tigers, leopards, and jackals not only trembled when they saw your grandfather, but also had to walk around. ”

The old hunter boasted, clenching the iron bow that straddled his shoulders.

In an instant, his face became more resolute.

After hearing this, Qi Tian suddenly remembered what Xiao Yueyue often said: Oh my God! Is it so amazing?

"Guarding this area for decades, there shouldn't be any natural treasures, right!?"

Then, dispel this unreliable idea: "You can't think like that, that's a plot that only exists in fantasy novels." ”

Then he muttered in a low voice: "This old man, bragging B doesn't even make drafts, and I'm also drunk." ”

Soon, the two of them crossed the col and arrived at their destination.

I saw that the destination was an inconspicuous cave that only allowed one person to enter and exit, and because it was overgrown with weeds all year round, it covered the entrance of the cave, so it was not easy to be found.

The old hunter cleared the weeds from the entrance to the cave, then laid out the offerings he had prepared, lit the incense, and then fell to his knees.

"You get down on your knees too."

Although Qi Tian didn't quite understand what was going on, he still did what the old hunter did.

"Family slave Qi Baishi, take Qi Tian to meet the general."

After speaking, he knocked three times at the entrance of the cave - banging his head.

When the old hunter reported his name, he deliberately pronounced his surname very hard, so that people could hear Qi at once, not Qi.

Hearing the old Orion's words, Qi Tian was instantly stunned.

This is not a lot of information.

House slaves?

Qi Tian?

Checkmate?

Although Qi Tian was stunned, he still did it - kowtowing three times.

The old hunter Qi Baishi did not get up, but looked at the entrance of the cave and said in a deep voice: "Child, your original surname is Qi, not Qi, and you changed your surname to prevent the enemy from chasing and killing you." ”

Qi Tian thought to himself: "The enemy is chasing and killing? This life experience is too bumpy. ”

Then he asked suspiciously: "Then who is this general, and what does it have to do with me?" ”

"No hurry, I'll tell you later."

Although Old Orion did not explain, according to Qi Tian's understanding of TV series and movies in his previous life, this general must have an inextricable relationship with him.

Old Orion continued: "There is a tomb of the general's clothes in the cave, and the family heirlooms are located in the tomb, but the tomb is cleverly set up with various mechanisms. ”

A family heirloom?

Qi Tian's life experience is naturally self-evident.

Qi Tian thought to himself: Kaoh, how can it be like going to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, to put it bluntly, isn't it a tomb robbery?

Qi Tian suddenly remembered a god in his previous life, a sentence mentioned in the novel: The rooster cries and the lamp is extinguished and the gold is not touched.

"Do you want to prepare the black donkey's hooves?"

Qi Tian really thinks too much, this is just a mound of clothes, it's just a mound of clothes.

"In the tomb, in addition to various mechanisms, there is also a colorless and odorless poisonous gas. Of course, if you don't touch the mechanism, you won't be gassed. ”

However, when the old hunter Qi Baishi said the next sentence, Qi Tian was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Your father, your grandfather, your grandfather, all of them touched the mechanism that emitted poisonous gas, and there was nothing unusual at the time, but they all died inexplicably after the age of twenty."

Hearing this, Qi Tian's heart seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.

Qi Tian thought to himself: I am a soy sauce maker, not a descendant of a general.

"Your father was twenty years old when he went out hunting to catch up with a snowstorm and let a natural disaster take his life."

"You were driven off a cliff by the black blind man (bear), and I didn't worry about you dying, because my grandfather, my grandfather's grandfather, they all said that everyone in your family died at the age of twenty after entering the tomb. To be on the safe side, you will be born as adults. ”

Your family?

Qi Tian thought to himself: "To put it bluntly, this Qi Tian is not the old man's own grandson!" ”

"Grandpa, according to what you say, do I have to enter?" Qi Tian asked tentatively.

Old Orion nodded.

At this point, there is no other way, and escaping will not solve the problem.

Besides, he is a soldier, and a soldier can only advance, not retreat.

"Come on!"

Qi Tiangang shouted, and a pheasant in the snow in the distance flew away very cooperatively.

"If I don't go to hell, who will? Let the storm come harder! ”

Although Qi Tian said this, he refused in his heart.

"Good! This is the descendant of General Qi, who was born to be a soldier. Although I don't understand the latter sentence, it is obviously more imposing. ”

Qi Tian turned his head to look at the old Orion Qi Baishi, and said with a firm gaze: "I was originally a soldier. ”

……

……

The old hunter gave another explanation, and then strode into the cave.

Qi Tian knew that since God let him live, he would definitely let him do something big.

Qi Tian in his previous life had only read tomb robbery novels written by that godman, but those were fictional after all.

Now that he actually went to the tomb in person, it was still in ancient times when science was not developed, and I really don't know what the captain of the gold school back then, except for the gold touch charm and the Luoyang shovel, was holding what he was holding to the tomb?

Helplessly, Qi Tian thought to himself: "Although the road ahead may be nine deaths, as long as you have the confidence to get the things in the tomb, whether it is a Buddha or a demon, you can't stop it." ”

After about five or six minutes of entering the cave, there was a fork in the road, and Qi Tian did not hesitate to go to the right, because the old hunter said that there was wind on the left, and there was a hot spring at the end of the cave.

On the right is a dead end, there is no wind, the air is very thin, to be on the safe side, Qi Tian took out a short torch from the package and lit it.

Looking at the faint blue fire dancing on the torches, I was instantly replaced by curiosity and excitement before entering the cave, because I really went to the tomb, which is similar to what is written in the novel of the god man.

Soon, Qi Tian came to the end - a stone wall.

According to the old Orion, there should be a mechanism here for the stone wall to open automatically.

Of course, this is only a stone wall, not a broken dragon stone.

The old man didn't say where the mechanism was, only that the Qi family could find it, and by the way, he wanted to test himself. But I'm not a descendant of the Qi family, how do I know where the organ is? Besides, novels are written like this, TV dramas are played like this, and this hand is about to wear off a layer of skin on the stone wall, and it didn't accidentally touch the mechanism!? ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Tian groped for a while, but found nothing after all.

Simply, he sat on the ground.

When he was clueless, he used the torch in his hand to knock the stone bricks on the ground rhythmically, and just as he was about to knock the fourth time, the stone wall suddenly opened.

At this time, even if there are 10,000 grass and mud horses, or the sentence "Oh my God! Is it so amazing? "It's useless.

In addition to the surprise, only the incredible remained.

Not playing cards according to the routine at all.

Due to the thin air in the stone tomb, Qi Tian didn't want to waste any more time, so he got up and picked up the package, took the torch and entered the tomb.

Walking into the tomb, Qi Tian looked around and found that it was not the main coffin room, but a large number of weapons, more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall, and a knife was placed on the weapon rack in the middle of the room, which was shaped like a seedling, which was the improved Miao knife.

Around the stone platform under the armory, there is a water tank made of marble that is more than two meters wide, but there is no water in the tank.

"The old man only talked about the Miao knife, and didn't say anything about the sink, and whether he took the Miao knife or not, it depends on the chance."

After finishing speaking, Qi Tian suddenly remembered something, and then took out an animal bone that had been prepared on his body and threw it into the sink without hesitation.

The bones fell into the sink with a crisp sound, and then from the marble corners, something shimmered.

Seeing what was oozing, Qi Tian instinctively took a step back, glad that he didn't go down, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to come up.

Although Qi Tian was a special soldier in his previous life, he also studied chemistry in high school, so he is naturally no stranger to this thing.

"Mercury." Qi Tian said in a dumb voice.

Qi Tian naturally knew the power of mercury, but if he wanted to get the Miao Knife, it was naturally difficult for Qi Tian to be reborn.

Qi Tian unhurriedly took out a rope in the package, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then tied an iron hook at one end of the rope, throwing out the rope in his hand like a lasso, and instantly the hook hooked the Miao knife, and with a skillful pull, he grabbed it with one hand, and the Miao knife was held in his hand.

Extremely narcissistic dragging: "so, easy." (It's so easy)

The corners of Qi Tian's mouth rose, and then he pulled out this Miao knife that had not been pulled out for hundreds of years.

The Miao knife came out of the sheath silently, and there was no phenomenon of the ground shaking and the mountains and rivers collapsing.

The blade, as sharp as ever.

In order to prevent friction and damage to the blade and scabbard, it is usually silently unsheathed, and the sound of metal resonance will be emitted due to friction if it is not well-made.

(In film and television dramas, the sound of the sword unsheathed is mostly dubbed, and it is also for rendering and accentuation, and the principle and frequency of metal resonance are basically used.) )

At this time, Qi Tian's eyes were fixed on the intersection of the knife head and the knife surface, which was engraved with "Qi Family Army" and "Miao Knife" on the reverse.

Qi Tian knew that since weapons were placed here, only this Miao knife was placed alone, and it was obviously the general's portable saber surnamed Qi.

Qi Tian didn't have time to appreciate it, because the flames on the torches were obviously a little weaker than before entering the tomb, so he briefly looked at the other furnishings in the room, and then followed the instructions of the old hunter Qi Baishi to find the mechanism of the next main coffin.

The mechanism of the main coffin room is actually behind the calligraphy and painting on the wall, and the twelve iron rings will be opened when they are pulled at the same time.

Qi Tian just heard that the organ was behind the calligraphy and painting, and instantly remembered the section of "Tianlong Babu" where the Western Xia recruited the horse, and the martial arts graphics behind the calligraphy and painting.

Obviously, it is impossible to open the mechanism by one's own strength.

It's just that Qi Tian comes from the future world.

Qi Tian thought of countermeasures when he entered the cave, he was a master of demining in his previous life, and he naturally had no problem with the things of the ancients.

Qi Tian did not waste time, took out the remaining ropes in the package, measured the distance between the iron rings in the stone room with the rope, and then used a seedling knife to cut the measured size of the rope, repeatedly, the rope was just six.

Soon the two ends of the rope were tied to the iron ring.

When all this was done, he grabbed the middle point of the cobweb-like and the top rope with his hands, and suddenly jumped up, his body remained still, and then his body slowly fell.

This is the principle of mechanics.

For example, in jungle combat, if a teammate unfortunately steps on a thunder, you can use a rope to tie it to a tree or a huge stone, borrowing the principle of mechanics, in the middle and lower part of the crossed rope, aiming at the position of the thunder, put a hard object, a wooden stick or a dagger, and while stirring the rope, the force under the rope will become greater and greater, so that it is equal to the weight of the human body, and the danger can be removed.

"Click......"

Qi Tian followed the prestige, only to see a pitch-black hole mouth fifty centimeters square behind the weapon rack.

Qi Tian immediately came to the entrance of the cave with a torch, and under the reflection of the torch, he saw the steps going down step by step, which was obviously the passage of the main coffin room.

Because the tunnel entrance had just been opened, the indoor air was very thin, and after ten minutes, Qi only walked down the steps with a torch.

Every time he took the next step, Qi Tian silently counted in his heart, until he counted thirty-six, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Through the faint light, Qi Tian clearly saw that there was only one coffin in the middle of the tomb, and behind the coffin stood a stone statue, and the stone statue held a bamboo in its hand.

Carefully circumventing the coffin, I suddenly found that it was not bamboo, but iron bamboo with no pruned branches, and the top of the bamboo was a pointed spear head.

The stone statue is naturally a general surnamed Qi, and the one in his hand is the divine soldier wolf, and this general is Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty.

Out of instinct, he bent his knees and kowtowed to the statue three times.

The moment Qi Tian got up, something unexpected happened......

The coffin opens automatically - it's terrifying.

Qi Tian subconsciously put the Miao knife in his hand horizontally on his chest, and watched every move in the coffin vigilantly, for fear that a big zongzi would suddenly jump out, otherwise his little life would be decisively explained here.

I saw that after the coffin was opened, a small rectangular box slowly rose from the coffin.

After a while, Qi Tian noticed that there was nothing unusual, but after all, he couldn't take it lightly, so he took out a bone stick from himself and threw it into the coffin.

He muttered in his mouth: "I'm sorry General Qi, I'm also taking precautions, it's better to be safe." ”

However, nothing bizarre happened when the bone stick was thrown in.

At this time, Qi Tian exhaled, and the hanging heart was finally put down.

Qi Tian slowly approached the coffin, and watched the movement around him from time to time.

When he walked to the coffin, Qi Tian found that there was only one box in the coffin, and nothing else.

Qi Tian immediately felt that everything seemed too easy, after all, to open the main coffin chamber, it was necessary to pull twelve iron rings at the same time, and it was impossible for this stone chamber to be without other mechanisms.

For the sake of safety, Qi Tian did not hold the box with his hand, but used the Miao knife in his hand - the Miao knife out of the sheath, raised the knife to stab the bottom of the box, and picked it up hard, and the box instantly rose in the air.

……

At the moment when the box left the coffin, it seemed to trigger some mechanism - Qi Tian, who was extremely hearing, only felt a "whooshing" sound around him.

When he looked closely, he saw hundreds of feathered arrows shooting at him......
