Chapter 154: Spring and Autumn Ancient Tomb

As soon as Wang Xu's mention was exported, Dian Wei immediately supported it loudly, and although Xu Sheng hesitated slightly, he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart in the end, and nodded in agreement. However, after some discussion, it was decided that Wang Xu and Xu Sheng would go down, while Dian Wei would let the wind go outside, guarding the entrance of the cave and the rope. Although Dian Wei felt very aggrieved, Wang Xu and Xu Sheng were two to one, completely blocking his mouth.

But in fact, the reason why he chose to go down with Xu Sheng was mainly because Wang Xu felt that Dian Wei was not as calm as Xu Sheng. Although his martial arts are higher, this kind of thing is sometimes better for the head than martial arts. As Xu Sheng and Wang Xu successively tied ropes and went down to the bottom of the cave, they found that the hole was dug horizontally to the center of the mountain, which was very strange.

With the help of the two oil lamps picked up at the entrance of the cave, Wang Xu carefully took Xu Sheng and continued to walk forward, extremely cautious with every step, for fear of making a difference. It's a pity that there is nothing along the way, and there is nothing worth noting except that it feels more and more eerie as you go. It's just that because it's slower than a turtle, it takes a lot of time.

Counting the steps he had taken in his mind, and estimating that he had traveled less than five meters, Wang Xu felt that the hole began to gradually become smaller, and he gradually saw the wall of the cave in front of him through the dim light. I suddenly wondered in my heart, what is going on? Is this group of people full of food and digging holes to play?

Just when Wang Xu and Xu Sheng looked at each other, not knowing what to do, a little soft soil suddenly fell three steps ahead. If it weren't for the fact that this place was too quiet and the place was small, Wang Xu would not have noticed. Curious, he suddenly took three steps forward again, and when he looked up, he was suddenly surprised.

It turned out that there was another hole in the top of his head at the moment, and it was not deep, and the opening above could be clearly seen. There are pits on both sides of the cave wall, and there are many footprints, and it is obvious that the group of people just supported the cave wall with both hands and then stepped on these pits to climb up. After figuring out this layer, Wang Xu did not hesitate, even if he climbed up. Although he held the oil lamp in his left hand and the sword guide zhì in his right hand, he was a little inconvenient to move, but with his agile skills, he also climbed up easily. As soon as he left the narrow well hole, Wang Xu suddenly felt that the surroundings were empty, and hurriedly shone the oil lamp in his hand to the side.

But when he saw the situation around him clearly, he trembled all over, and he was almost frightened and fell to the ground. Fortunately, his more than a year of battlefield career has honed his will very much, otherwise I am afraid that he would have to scream in fright on the spot. But even so, he was still frightened, breathing heavily, and his heart rate suddenly increased. And Xu Sheng, who followed closely, was also not much better, the moment he saw the surrounding scene, his face was pale, and he was even more terrifying under the light of the oil lamp.

"My lord! This is ......" Xu Sheng just spoke, but he looked around hesitantly, and swallowed back the words behind him.

However, Wang Xu didn't have as many scruples as him, and immediately nodded with a wry smile: "You guessed it right, this is a tomb, and it doesn't look like an ordinary tomb." The man must have been a tomb robber, probably seeing us dressed in noble clothes and holding a sword, and following us up the mountain, so he mistook it for an official who was traveling, so he told his companion to run away. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Sheng suddenly couldn't help it, and immediately scolded angrily: "It's really unlucky! I thought I had encountered some buried treasure, but I didn't know it was a tomb. ”

Wang Xu has also calmed down a lot at the moment, after all, he was so scared just now because it was too sudden. Hearing Xu Sheng's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't the tomb a treasure?" What kind of scale do you think the coffin is kept? At least it was built by ancient princely families, how could there be no burial goods? However, we were obviously a step late, except for the compartment in the middle of the coffin, the destruction everywhere else was very strict, and the attached compartment where the belongings were stored was already empty. It's just that I'm a little curious, I don't know which dynasty's tomb this is, and it's still well preserved. ”

Hearing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but take a closer look, but shook his head and said, "I don't know this very well, but it should be early!" I heard that everyone has used bricks and stones to build tombs for hundreds of years, and tombs like this should have been around for a long time. As he spoke, he looked around silently, but suddenly said: "It would be nice if that Yang Feng was here, I heard that he is very good at this." It seems that his master is a master of tomb robbing. ”

"Yang Feng?" Wang Xu, who was squatting on the ground to check the dry bones, was stunned when he heard this name, but then reacted. "By the way, I really forgot if you didn't say it. Where are Guan Hai and Yang Feng now? Have you seen them? ”

"Hmmm! I have seen that when I went down the mountain and went home, they had already followed the second son back to Shanyang. It's just that because they turned out to be Yellow Turban generals, and the lord was framed by eunuchs. So I was worried about the truth, so I arranged for the two of them to hide in the countryside farm! Saying that, Xu Sheng thought for a while, and then smiled and continued: "Both of them are very bold, the first time I followed the second son to meet in the past, I was greatly drunk. And their skills were also learned at that time, and they were very surprised by Yang Feng's stunts at that time! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu was taken aback, he didn't expect that Yang Feng's mentorship turned out to be a high-level tomb robber, what a surprise! But then his eyes rolled, and an idea suddenly appeared in his heart: In history, Cao Cao set up two official positions specifically responsible for tomb robbing, as if they were called Captain Jin and Faqiu Zhonglang. As a result, he dug a lot of holes and made a pot full of gold, since Yang Feng has this ability, otherwise when he has a territory in the future, he will also get a gold panning captain to come out, so that he can carry forward this business? Although digging people's graves is a bit lacking in morality, it is not impossible to consider, and if necessary, it is okay to dig up some treasures to be used as military salaries. Anyway, in the next few thousand years, these tombs will be dug up sooner or later. At most, you can only take the treasure, and you won't damage the tomb!

Just when Wang Xu was in a state of confusion, Xu Sheng over there suddenly exclaimed. "Lord, come and see, there are still many treasures in this coffin that have not been taken away!"

Wang Xu just turned around, and was suddenly startled, it turned out that Xu Sheng was so bold that he actually pried open the coffin out of curiosity. "Wen Xiang, what are you doing!"

"Oh! I just want to see what this guy looks like, and I'm a little curious. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly replied angrily: "What's so nice about a pile of dry bones, aren't you afraid that he will cheat the corpse?" ”

"I'm not afraid of this, I don't care about him, even if he cheats the corpse, he has to see if he can beat the sword in my hand! But this man is not a dry bone, and it is very well preserved, as if he had just died. ”

Knowing that celebrities like Xu Sheng are all bold figures, Wang Xu didn't bother to tell him about these useless things, and went back to look up those compartments again. But he said: "Forget it, no matter if he preserves it well or not, don't touch the things in the coffin, let's see if there are any things left in these compartments!" If not, forget it, there are rich living people outside with a big vote, and there is no need to rob the dead. ”

"Hmm!" In response, Xu Sheng was about to cover the coffin, but he seemed to suddenly find something, but instead put his hand into the coffin, and said strangely: "Why is this person holding a leather scroll in his hand, it stands to reason that it should be jade and other valuable things!" “

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wang Xu also turned his head in surprise and looked over. "He's holding a leather roll in his hand?"

Seeing that Xu Sheng had already taken out a rectangular leather scroll and looked at it, he immediately couldn't help but walk over and say, "What is written?" ”

Seeing Wang Xu asking, Xu Sheng did not hesitate, and immediately handed the leather scroll to Wang Xu. "Nothing is written, it's just a picture!" With that, he lost interest and turned to put the coffin back on.

But when Wang Xu heard this, his interest became even stronger. Immediately lifted the oil lamp to the leather roll and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said excitedly: "Wen Xiang, what a big harvest!" This is supposed to be a treasure map, although I don't know what kind of treasure it is, but it's definitely not ordinary. ”

When Xu Sheng heard this, he was also interested, and immediately asked, "Where is the treasure?" ”

"It's supposed to be on an island surrounded by water, but the exact location is not clear." Saying that, Wang Xu frowned and thought about it, then turned back and said, "Xu Sheng, you open the lid of the coffin again to find out if there are any relevant clues, or the identity of this person." ”

"Hmmm! Good. Nodding, Xu Sheng did not hesitate, and immediately opened the coffin and searched carefully. Although Wang Xu also wanted to go up, but after thinking about it, he still felt a little panicked, after all, he was still a little reluctant to face a person who had been dead for hundreds of years alone in the dark tomb.

It's a pity, Xu Sheng quickly shook his head: "Lord, there are only some precious gold, silver and jade ornaments in this coffin, and there are no funeral texts or funeral books, it may be that those tomb robbers took it!" ”

"No way, didn't you just open the coffin? The tomb robbers should have been taboo, so they only took the burial goods in the surrounding compartments, but did not open the coffin. Otherwise, what would he do with those useless books or records of the life of the tomb owner? After speaking, Wang Xu couldn't help but glance at Xu Sheng, and said angrily: "Do you still think that those tomb robbers are contemporary Confucians, and erudite people are not successful?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Sheng also smiled awkwardly, and immediately said, "Okay! Then I'll look for it again! ”

This time, Xu Sheng didn't speak for a long time, and just when Wang Xu was about to help but go up to check it in person, he suddenly pulled out a yellow silk silk. After reading it quickly, he suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "This person is a literary species, this is the tomb of literary species!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but look back at the person in the coffin several times.

But then he sighed with emotion: "Hey! Such a person should be respected! We shouldn't bother. After saying that, he solemnly restored the contents of the coffin one by one and re-covered the coffin.

Seeing Xu Sheng's actions, Wang Xu didn't know what the situation was at all. didn't bother to ask, so he stepped forward and grabbed the silk silk.

But at first glance, it was a big headache, because it was very different from the current text, and he couldn't understand it at all! Immediately asked suspiciously, "Xu Sheng, can you understand the text on this?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Xu with a look of surprise on his face: "Lord, you are well-read and knowledgeable, but you don't even know Jin Wen?" ”

"What's so strange about that? How old am I now, and since I was a child, I either practiced martial arts or read military books. I also have to learn medical skills, formations, and read all kinds of books of practical value. How can I have time to study words? There are one or two of those ancient classics at home, but I have never read them. It's a little strange that you know this ancient script! ”

"Oh! I just happened to have it at the age of five, I followed my master to the mountains to learn art, in addition to practicing martial arts on weekdays, I also like to study military books, so the master managed to find me some. However, one of them was written by an unknown general during the Zhou Dynasty, and it was all written in gold script, so the master taught me. He has been crisscrossing mountains and rivers for decades, so he has studied these things when he has nothing to do. ”

"That's great, quick, tell me what's inside, and who is this genre?"
