The mustache also had time to ask Brother Xiong at this time: "Brother Xiong, you don't usually encounter this kind of thing every time, right?" I don't think this tomb is simple! ”

Brother Xiong shook his head with a serious face. He said: "I usually go to the tomb, although I occasionally encounter a few ghosts, but we all wear evil spirits on our bodies, and they can't do anything about us. I've only seen zombies once, and they're still the ones lying in the coffin, and they'll be fine with the black donkey's hooves in their mouths before they get out of the way. But I've never heard of dozens of ghosts and a zombie bumped into as soon as you come in! ”

"Then we can't explore this tomb? If I keep going inside and encounter this situation again, I can't guarantee everyone's safety! The mustache said again. I listened to the tone of the mustache and didn't seem very happy. In fact, I am also very unhappy in my heart, the danger of this tomb of King Miao has greatly exceeded my expectations.

Brother Xiong was silent for a moment, and then said to the mustache: "Daochang He, since we have all come here, it is a pity to give up like this!" Only a princely tomb would be like this, which not only designed traps and traps, but also arranged the tomb of unjust souls and zombies, which shows that this tomb must be buried with treasures. And in my experience, whether it is a trap or a tomb guard, it is generally only arranged in the tomb tunnel. According to the thinking pattern of the ancients, in order to show respect and not disturb the soul of the tomb owner, these filthy things will not be arranged in the tomb. ”

"Brother Xiong." The mustache is not so easy to be fooled, he said bluntly: "Originally, we only promised to come over to investigate and exorcise evil spirits when we accepted your commission, but now that we have done this, it has broken the rules of our Daomen." ”

Brother Xiong said: "Daoist He, I understand. If you see if this is good, let's go further and if we encounter such a dangerous situation again, then we will retreat. I'll go back and find someone to find someone myself, and I'll come back next time. If everything goes well in the future, I promise you that the honorarium will be doubled again, a total of 160,000, how about it? ”

This condition can be said to be quite tempting. The mustache sighed and turned to ask for my opinion. I'm very entangled in my heart, I don't have much experience with this kind of thing at all, of course it's better to make money, but I can't ignore the safety issue.

Brother Xiong still hesitated when he saw the two of us, and immediately said: "My brother Xiong doesn't take advantage of the two of them, this time we will cooperate well, and we will share all the benefits in this tomb equally!" ”

As soon as these words came out, even the mustache had to be moved. Although I don't know much about the antique market, the usual business between Brother Xiong and Mustache has been more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. Brother Xiong also said that this tomb is a princely tomb, and there is a treasure, so can't the things in it be sold for a sky-high price?

The mustache finally nodded in agreement and said, "Since Brother Xiong is so heroic, we won't twist and pinch the ground." However, let's take Brother Xiong's first sentence first, if you can't do anything, there is no need to break through. If you want to make money, you have to have a life! ”

"That's nature!" Brother Xiong said calmly.

Since Brother Xiong and Mustache have negotiated, everyone will no longer mention this matter, and redivide the equipment left by Fu Yacannon. After resting for a while, when everyone calmed down, Brother Xiong waved forward and continued to explore the tomb.

The back section of the tomb is about as long as the front, but there are no frescoes or reliefs. After the fright, Aki and I became cautious. I picked up the crowbar that Fu Ya Cannon had dropped, and Aki still took his folding shovel and probed in front of him like a blind man using a blind cane, making sure which stone slab was safe before he dared to step on it, and the people behind followed us closely. Sure enough, Aki and I each found a trap slab that could be turned over, and the hole under the slab looked like the hole we had just fallen into.

Brother Xiong guessed that the bottom of the second section of the tomb was hollow, and several such turning stone slabs were designed on it, and as long as someone stepped on it, it would fall into the hole underneath. The owner of the tomb also adopted the method of martyrdom, using some kind of secret technique to sacrifice dozens of soldiers and throw them in the cave, so that they would become the unjust souls of the tomb guards after their deaths. As for the zombie, it is estimated that he was an officer such as a squad leader before his death, and he was also refined into a zombie by secret arts, and he could only stay in this cave to guard the spirit of the master for eternity.

After the second section of the cemetery, we were blocked by a tomb gate. This tomb door is different from the first tomb door, it is two push-open doors on the left and right, but we tried to push it, and it was as stable as Mount Tai, and there was no way to push it open, and there should be something stuck in the latch or something. Aki and I had to go back to see Brother Xiong's idea.

Brother Xiong took a flashlight and shone it inside the crack of the door, and said, "There must be a running stone behind this door, and it can't be pushed open just by pushing." ”

Ah Fei heard this and asked Brother Xiong: "I can't push it away, so how can we get in?" ”

Brother Xiong pointed to the lintel above the tomb door and said, "The two tomb doors are made of a single stone slab, but the lintel is only made of tomb bricks. The stone door is heavy, and it has been pressed down for hundreds of years, and there will inevitably be some sinking, and then the lintel is easy to deform. We'll remove a few bricks from above, send someone in and knock down the stone, and the door will open. ”

Ah Fei likes to pat Brother Xiong's ass the most, and applauded when he heard this idea. I also have to admire this method, Brother Xiong, an expert in inverted fighting, is obviously not in vain!

Aki's reaction was half a beat slower, and he just wanted to echo it, but was pulled by Brother Xiong as a stepping step. Brother Xiong stepped on Aki's back and stood up, touching the position of the lintel. I saw him stretch out two fingers, knock them on the tomb bricks one by one with his knuckles, and put his ears to listen. But when he struck the second brick, it shrank in, revealing a black hole!

"Good!" Ah Fei shouted again, gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you are really good!" There's a trick! ”

But Brother Xiong was obviously stunned, and his hand continued to be raised, as if he was a little surprised. He smiled awkwardly: "Why is this tomb brick so loose?" I haven't done it yet! ”

The tomb bricks on the lintel were really easy to remove, and Brother Xiong pushed the door one by one, and soon opened a hole, enough for a person to climb in from there. Brother Xiong got down from Aki's back and said to Ah Fei, "You climb in and open the door!" ”

Ah Fei is positive, but at this time, he wants to shrink his head. He asked Brother Xiong with a wry smile, "Boss, why me?" ”

Brother Xiong glared and scolded: "Coward! You're the thinnest here, who else can you climb with? Hurry up! ”

Ah Fei didn't dare to disobey, so he had to cry and mourn, and still Akito carried him through the hole in the lintel. When Ah Fei jumped down, there was an echo inside, and it seemed very empty. Then there was a loud "clang" of a heavy object falling to the ground, which shook everyone's ears and went numb.

After the tap stone was knocked down, Brother Xiong and Aki pushed the tomb door open from the outside. Ah Fei was already so frightened that his face turned pale inside, and his legs were trembling all the time. Behind him was a large space, with only a stone offering table and decaying offerings, except for a few large stone pillars. This should be the middle room.

Brother Xiong looked around, and then said to us, "Look, there is a door in front and a door on the left and right. The front door leads to the back room where the coffin of the tomb owner is kept, and to the left and right are the ear chambers. There may be funerary goods in the chamber, or it may be a human sacrifice for the burial. To be on the safe side, we won't go either way. Let's go straight to the Yellow Dragon and go to the Backrooms to see what big people are buried in this tomb! ”

Ah Fei and Aki naturally supported their boss's decision, and Mustache and I had no problem with that. As soon as I heard that there might be a dead person buried in the left and right ear compartments, I began to have a psychological shadow.

The plan was settled, and the remaining five walked together to the tomb door that led to the Backrooms. This door is also the same double door as the second door, Brother Xiong tried to push it, but the stone door shook for a while, and it seemed that there was no running stone behind it. Brother Xiong is overjoyed, and this saves a lot of work. Ah Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't need to climb the tomb door again.

So, Brother Xiong, Ah Fei and Ah Ji worked together to slowly push the last stone door open. The mustache and I were behind them, ready to deal with strange things that might come out. But everything was normal, nothing came out after the door was pushed open.

As soon as we entered the back room, we saw a large coffin, dark red in color, and we didn't know what kind of rare wood it was made of. Brother Xiong said: "This coffin should have at least two layers, the inner coffin and the outer coffin, and the most valuable treasure is inside!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited. Ah Fei and Ah Ji picked up the shovel and were about to step forward to pry the coffin, but they were slapped on the head by Brother Xiong. Brother Xiong scolded: "What are the monkeys anxious about? Have you forgotten the rules of Master Zu? ”

Ah Fei suddenly realized, took out a candle and lighter from his backpack, and then asked Brother Xiong which side is east and which side is south? Brother Xiong kicked him again, scolded him for not being proficient in learning, and said: "The emperor's tomb is the same as the palace where they lived before their death, they all sit in the north and face south, which direction do you say the southeast is?" ”

Ah Fei scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, ran to the corner on the right hand side of the door, and lit a candle on the ground. Before the coffin is opened, a candle is lit in the southeast corner of the tomb, which is said to be a custom formed by tomb robbers over thousands of years, and can also play a role in predicting bad luck. If there is nothing dirty in the burial chamber, the candle flame is normal. If there is a corpse or ghost in the burial chamber, the flame will change color or be extinguished.

Ah Fei lit the candle and saw that the flame was stable, so he ran back with a smile and reported to Brother Xiong. Brother Xiong waved his hand and said, "Open the coffin!" ”

Opening a coffin is also a dangerous and unpredictable thing, but for tomb robbers, opening a coffin is also a time of adrenaline. As soon as the coffin was opened, it was immediately clear whether the job was a profit or a loss. When lucky, the tomb robbers can scavenge a large treasure in the coffin, and when they get out, they can wash their hands in a golden basin and retire. When luck is bad, the owner of the tomb may have been a poor ghost when he was alive, and there were no funeral goods in it. The most unfortunate situation is that there is a big zongzi lying inside, and as soon as the coffin lid is opened, it jumps out and chokes people's necks, and the tomb robbers lose their lives.

Of course, these are the plots I see from the tomb robbery novel, and the actual situation depends on Brother Xiong's operation. I stood on the right side of the coffin, wanting to see how Brother Xiong opened the coffin. The mustache didn't seem to have much interest in opening the coffin, so he kept standing at the door.

Ah Fei and Ah Ji used a folding shovel to pry the coffin board, but they couldn't pry it after a few pries. Brother Xiong asked, "Where's the crowbar?" Aki remembered and ran over and took my crowbar. With a crowbar, I took advantage of the abundance of hands, and quickly pried the lid of the coffin. At this time, I consciously or unintentionally glanced back at the candle and found that the candle flame was extinguished!

"Brother Xiong, the candle is out!" I shouted.

Brother Xiong and the others were also startled, and they all stopped to look, and sure enough, it was pitch black in the southeast corner. The mustache also became nervous, kept looking inside and outside the tomb door, and then asked me, "Xiao Zhai, do you feel resentful?" ”

I walked slowly around the backroom, where the yin qi was naturally very heavy, but I didn't feel anything unusual. I replied, "No! ”

Brother Xiong said to Ah Fei: "You go and light the candle again and I'll take a look." ”

Ah Fei ran over and re-lit the candle, the candle flame was very stable, the color was normal, and it had not changed. Brother Xiong looked at it for a while and said, "Maybe a gust of wind came from where it blew it out, don't worry, let's continue to open the coffin!" ”

Although everyone still vaguely feels inappropriate in their hearts, since Brother Xiong said so, let's continue to do it. Ah Fei and Ah Ji began to pry the coffin board again, priing out all six coffin nails. Brother Xiong beckoned the two of them to come over and stand on the same side, intending to push the coffin lid down together, but at this time, it was the mustache's turn to cry: "The candle is out again!" ”

Everyone was frightened now, the shovel of the shovel, the crowbar of the crowbar, I had nothing in my hand, so I had to take out a large handful of talisman darts, which could scare the ghosts. But after being nervous for a long time, there was still nothing unusual in the tomb, and the only sound that could be heard was the breathing of several large living people one after another.

Brother Xiong frowned, this time he decided to go to the southeast corner to check it out. The candles on the ground were intact, but the candle flame was inexplicably extinguished twice. Brother Xiong took out his lighter and planned to light it again, but at this time, he only heard a soft sound of "click" coming from Brother Xiong, and then Brother Xiong suddenly looked up!

"Nima!" Brother Xiong scolded. Everyone else didn't know why, so they hurriedly asked Brother Xiong what happened?

Brother Xiong raised his hand and pointed to the top of the tomb and said, "There is water seeping on the top of this tomb!" Candles are extinguished by droplets! ”

"!"

Everyone cursed together. How? In such a high-standard imperial tomb, there will be such an inferior decoration problem as a leaky ceiling! If the owner of this tomb is still alive, I wonder if he will be angry to death?
