The three of them waited outside the cave for about half an hour, and suddenly, the sound of Xiao 13 shouting came from the cave, and after a while, Xiao 13 rushed out of the cave in a panic with a torch.

Xiao Laodao glanced at him and scolded: "What kind of system is panicking!" ”

Xiao 13 timidly glanced at Xiao Laodao, "Military ...... No, Master, it's ...... in the cave There's a ghost in the cave! ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he actually looked calm, "Where there are dead people, there are ghosts, and we can't be afraid of this when we dig graves!" ”

Xiao Shisan suddenly swallowed dryly, "Ghosts, ghosts are not terrible, what is terrible is ...... Those ghosts know kung fu. ”

When the master heard this, he felt that it was rare, and he had never seen a ghost who knew kung fu, so he asked, "How many ghosts are there in the cave, what do they all look like?" ”

Xiao 13 hurriedly replied: "Probably, there are probably five or six, maybe more, all of them are all black, even the hands and faces are all black, and it is scary to take a torch to shine." ”

Xiao Laodao asked, "What about twelve?" ”

Xiao 13 was stunned for a moment, and replied: "He, he...... I—I ran out after a few tricks with those ghosts, and I don't know what happened to him. ”

Xiao Laodao's face suddenly showed anger, and he scolded: "Give me back, I can't find Twelve, don't come out again!" ”

Xiao Shisan's face changed, and he resignedly: "Master, those ghosts...... It's too terrible, can you ...... it" As he spoke, Xiao Shisan glanced at the master, "Can you let Senior Brother Ten go in with me?" ”

The master was already eager to try at this time, he really wanted to see a ghost who knew kung fu, Xiao Laodao heard this, but said to Xiao Shiyi: "Eleven, you accompany him in, if he is afraid of ghosts again, let him go back to the cottage and change to someone who is not afraid of ghosts!" ”

When Xiao Shisan heard this, he hurriedly begged, "Master, don't send me back, it's boring to stay in the cottage, it's better to go through the rivers and lakes with you." ”

Xiao Laodao was silent, his face was angry, Xiao Shiyi pulled Xiao Shisan's hand, and got into the hole, Xiao Shisan's head saw this, gave himself courage, and followed him with a torch.

The master was puzzled at this time, and glanced at Xiao Laodao, and saw Xiao Laodao shaking his head gently, a little disappointed, and the master asked: "Brother Xiao, the 'ghost' in this cave can't be a real ghost, right?" ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he glanced at the master, a smile appeared on his face, and he replied: "I haven't seen you for more than two years, and my brother's experience has grown again." ”

As soon as the master heard Xiao Laodao's words, he immediately understood, this is probably all designed in advance, and the ghosts in the cave are all dressed up by people, no wonder Xiao Laodao wants to let Eleven accompany Xiao Thirteen into the cave, if he goes in, he doesn't know what to do, and it is very likely that he will hurt those "ghosts" in the cave.

The two of them waited outside for another meal, Xiao Shiyi came out of the hole, and Xiao Laodao hurriedly asked, "What about the two of them?" ”

Xiao Shiyi straightened his messy clothes and gestured back, "They have now arrived at the main burial chamber and are priing the coffin." ”

Xiao Laodao asked again: "They didn't find anything, did they?" ”

Xiao Shiyi waved his hand and gestured: "Xiao Shisan was frightened, Xiao Shiyi fought with them a few times, and he didn't seem to find anything." ”

Xiao Laodao nodded slightly, "Okay, as long as they can pass this test, you can take them with you." ”

The three of them waited outside for another half an hour, and Xiao Shisan's shouting voice came from the cave: "Master, Master, look, let's get rich this time!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen rushed out of the cave one after another, in Xiao Thirteen's arms, holding a small burden tightly, looking very excited, Xiao Twelve held two torches in both hands, expressionless.

"Master, look, gold ingot!" As he spoke, Xiao Shisan spread out the burden in his arms.

The master looked into the baggage, and there were one or twenty small gold ingots with the size of a yellow and fist, at least four or five hundred taels.

Xiao Laodao glanced at it and asked lightly: "That's all there is to it, is there nothing else?" ”

Xiao 13 replied: "Except for a pair of rotten bones in the coffin, there are only these. ”

"Okay." Xiao Laodao nodded, "Today, I will give you two a great credit." Saying that, Xiao Laodao gave Xiao Shiyi a look, Xiao Shiyi took the burden from Xiao Shisan's arms, and followed closely, Xiao Laodao said again: "I will be deducted by the two of you again." ”

The two of them were stunned at the same time, and Xiao 13 asked, "Master, why do you want to give us a big demerit?" ”

Xiao Laodao looked at the two of them and said, "Twelve, after you entered the cave, you only cared about yourself, and Thirteen was afraid of ghosts, but you didn't care about him, this is your fault." Thirteen, because you are afraid of ghosts, you left twelve people to run out, your fault is even greater than twelve, you two, today the merits and demerits are offset, no reward or punishment! ”

When the two men heard this, they looked at each other and lowered their heads.

Xiao Laodao then said: "In the future, when we enter the tomb, if you are still like this, I will drive you out of the cottage and no longer employ you!" ”

When the master heard Xiao Laodao say this, he seemed to understand a little, some masters in the cottage may have been hired for money, and these two are no exception. This is really embarrassing for Xiao Laodao, no wonder he has to supplement his military salary by robbing tombs.

The two of them nodded again and again, and assured Xiao Laodao that they would not leave their companions alone next time.

When the few people returned to the monastery, it was already late, and the novices in the monastery cooked another meal for the few people.

After eating, Xiao Shiyi quietly found Xiao Laodao and my grandfather, and gestured to Xiao Laodao and said, "Twenty-two ingots of dog's head gold, one ...... missing"

It turned out that the cave was indeed an ancient tomb in the past, but it had already been taken out by Xiao Laodao, and this time the gold ingots were put into the stone coffin by Xiao Laodao and Xiao Shiyi, and the "ghosts" in the cave were also pretended to be by several monks in the temple who knew kung fu, and their bodies were all smeared with black ink, which looked very scary, in fact, they wanted to try Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen.

Xiao Laodao frowned tightly at this time, "One ingot is missing, is it possible, who of the two of them hid it privately?" ”

Xiao Shiyi gestured and said: "I look like Xiao Shisan, don't look at him smiling all day long, he has a lot of eyes, after I accompany him into the cave, he doesn't look like he is afraid of ghosts at all." ”

Xiao Laodao asked, "Who found the tomb first?" ”

Xiao Shiyi gestured and replied: "Xiao Twelve, those monks are not his opponents, after he knocked the monks back, he found it himself, and when I arrived with Thirteen, he was priing the coffin alone." ”

Xiao Laodao said: "If you say so, both of them are suspicious. ”

Xiao Shiyi gestured and asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Xiao Laodao turned to look at the master, "Brother, what do you say?" ”

The grandfather didn't even think about it, and said, "If you want me to say, let the two of them all go back to the cottage, and the three of us will do." ”

Xiao Laodao shook his head, "No, the few big tombs this time, with the strength of the three of us, can't be opened at all, even if they can be opened, it will take a lot of time, and the longer the delay, the easier it will be noticed." ”

"What does Brother Xiao mean?"

Xiao Laodao pondered for a moment and said: "There is a way to suspect people and not to use people, at the moment, these two have just joined the cottage for less than half a year, and their kung fu is not bad, but what kind of person they are, it's hard to say, this is also a good time to test the two of them, if the character is okay, they will be able to be entrusted with important tasks in the future." Xiao Laodao paused for a moment, and then said: "Otherwise, the two of you each keep an eye on one of them, brother, you stare at twelve, eleven stares at thirteen, once they have abnormal behavior, the three of us will immediately discuss countermeasures." ”

When the master heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. It is Xiao Laodao who is the grandfather, and he has long been happy with the gold and silver obtained from the tomb robbery, so why bother to work hard for an illusory goal.

However, according to Xiao Laodao's statement, Yanque An knows the ambition of the bird, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng, which one is not from the grass people, if they didn't have great ambitions back then, how could they rise up?

People take different paths, and their lives are different, in the eyes of the grandfather at that time, Xiao Laodao is the kind of person who has a backbone in the back of his head, and if he doesn't toss out a little thing, he will not be practical in his life. In Xiao Laodao's eyes, the master is a martial artist who wants to be in a corner of peace and has no ambitions, in today's words, he is a small citizen's thoughts.

Both people's ideas are correct, but the environment and the times can often change everyone's thoughts and beliefs.

Several people stayed in the monastery for a few more days, and in the past few days, Xiao Laodao left again with Xiao Shiyi, still leaving the Taiye and Xiao 12 and Xiao 13 in the monastery.

A few days later, Xiao Laodao found the master with a relaxed face, and said to the master that Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen could be trusted, because there was no shortage of gold ingots, and the missing gold ingot was found in the cave, probably because the two of them were in a panic, and they left a gold ingot on the way back. This means that neither of them took gold ingots.

The master asked with a smile, what if they threw it on purpose, so that they could return to the cave and take it away in the future.

Xiao Laodao shook his head, even if they wanted to deliberately leave one, they would not leave it in a conspicuous place, which was something they didn't pay attention to and fell on the road.

Subsequently, Xiao Laodao quietly gave all the gold ingots to the host of the temple, and asked the host to send someone back to the cottage.

It turned out that this temple was a secret foothold for their cottage, and not many people knew about it. If they can't get through, some will be sent back to the cottage, and some will just let them leave.

This time, Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen's performance is basically qualified, only one point, their coordination ability is too poor, and they need to be slowly cultivated in the next tomb robbery.

Afterwards, several people set off and began a real journey of tomb robbing.

Half a month later, several people entered Shu, this is the second time that the master has entered Shu into Sichuan, for the mountains and rivers of Shu, he has long been taught, the green mountains stretch, the strange peaks and mountains, the humid air, the diffuse poisonous miasma, plus mosquitoes, snakes and ants, man-eating barbarians, step by step crisis.
