The walls were tightly sealed, and Xiao Laodao didn't seem to be able to see the doorway, so he turned his head and asked Wu Er, "That tomb, is it behind this tomb wall?" ”

Wu Er hurriedly nodded yes, walked to the tomb wall, and tinkered with it on the wall, and after a while, he actually took out a square brick from the wall, and saw that the square brick was black inside, as if it was empty.

Xiao Laodao held the torch and shone it inside, "Sure enough, there is no cave." Then he turned his head and asked Wu Er, "How did you find out?" ”

Wu Er hurriedly said: "I found it when I came down with someone in the past, that time...... After the coffin was pried open, they didn't let me go forward, and I didn't know what they had taken out, so I stood here and waited for them, and later, I felt that someone was blowing a cool breeze on my neck, which scared me, and I looked carefully at the wall behind my neck, and the brick was alive, and the cool breeze was blowing out of the cracks in the bricks, and I took advantage of their inattention, so I buckled the bricks out, and found that the back was empty, and I felt that there was a tomb! ”

After Wu Er finished speaking, Xiao Laodao seemed to remember something, took out the compass from his body, and walked around the tomb a few times, and finally, Xiao Laodao nodded and said: "Yes, this is a husband and wife joint burial tomb, a sealed mound and two tombs, where we are now should be the male tomb owner, and the one next to the tomb wall is the female tomb owner." Saying that, Xiao Laodao looked at the tomb wall, "The female tomb owner should die first, and there is no sealed mound after the burial, and after the male tomb owner dies, he will be buried again, and then the mound will be sealed." ”

When the master heard this, he asked, "Then why is there a living brick on this tomb wall?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "The living bricks are for ventilation, the funeral is particular about the husband and wife before death, and the husband and wife are still husband and wife after death, if the tomb wall is blocked, the husband and wife can no longer come and go, as the so-called dog has a dog road, a cat has a cat road, and the live bricks on the wall are a soul road that allows their husband and wife to ventilate their ghosts." ”

The master nodded, feeling that what Xiao Laodao said made some sense, after all, the tomb was built by a living person, and the tomb bricks were also fired by a living person, just like before his soul was out of his body, and he couldn't get on the bridge between the sun and the dead, if the walls of the two tombs were blocked, their husband and wife might not be able to see each other freely.

At this time, Xiao Laodao glanced at Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Chujiu understood, picked up the hammer and came over, and with two knocks, the entire tomb wall suddenly collapsed.

Xiao Laodao held a torch and took a photo, and saw that behind the tomb wall that he had turned over, a tomb room appeared, the same size as the tomb they were in, and only this tomb wall was separated in the middle.

Several people quickly passed through the tomb wall and entered another tomb, and saw that this tomb was the same as the one just now, around the tomb, there were some bottles and jars, and in the middle of the tomb, there was a long stone coffin made of square bricks.

Wu Er was excited when he saw it, and shouted: "It's really a tomb, I didn't guess wrong, I guessed ...... wrong."

The three of them ignored Wu Er, Xiao Laodao gave Xiao Chujiu a look, Xiao Chujiu immediately took out a crowbar from the baggage, divided it by two, and pried open the top cover of the stone coffin.

Xiao Laodao immediately greeted the three of them, he held a torch next to him, and the three of them worked together to pry the coffin lid open again, and the entire interior of the black lacquered coffin was suddenly presented in front of everyone.

Everyone took a look, and saw that inside the coffin, there was actually a coffin of clear water, and there was a lifelike woman lying under the water, looking at it about thirty, the woman's clothes were very gorgeous, and the neck, wrists, were full of jewelry, necklaces, gold bracelets, etc., and there were several jade boxes beside the woman, as if the woman was used to put needlework or rouge gouache before her death, and all of them looked very valuable.

At this time, Xiao Laodao glanced at Wu Er, "Wu Er, the time has come to test you, you take out all the things on this woman's body." ”

When Wu Er heard this, his face suddenly turned a little pale, and Xiao Laodao said: "If you want to be my apprentice, you must first have courage. ”

Wu Wei glanced at the woman in the coffin with trepidation and asked, "Master, is she, she, really a dead person?" ”

"Nonsense, it's not what the dead are doing in a coffin, hurry up and do it."

Wu Er encouraged himself, rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, closed his eyes tremblingly, and stretched out his hand to the coffin, but when the tips of his fingers just touched the water surface in the coffin, he suddenly shrank back with a startled cry.

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao snorted at him: "With your guts, you are not worthy of following me, Chu Jiu, you come!" ”

Xiao Chujiu didn't even roll up his sleeves, he reached out and was about to pull it into the coffin, Wu Er saw this, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Chujiu's arm, trembling and pleading: "Senior brother, I'll come, I'll come......"

Xiao Chujiu glanced at him, then at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao nodded slightly, and Xiao Chujiu took his hand back.

At this time, Wu Er took a few heavy breaths, encouraged himself again, gritted his teeth, and put his arm into the coffin, probably because of nervousness, the whole arm was trembling in the coffin, causing the water in the coffin to shake, just when Wu Er wanted to touch the gold bracelet on the woman's wrist, the woman's hand shook a little.

Wu Er suddenly exclaimed "ah", and pulled his arm out of the coffin again with a "hula".

Xiao Laodao snorted coldly: "Waste! ”

Wu Er looked at Xiao Laodao and shouted, "Master, she is alive, alive......"

Xiao Lao Dao said with a deep face: "She's not alive, it's your arm shaking, and the shaking water is stirring her hand, you get out of the way, let's let Chu Jiu come." ”

Xiao Chujiu was about to put his arm into the coffin again, but Wu Er grabbed him again, "Senior brother, I'll come, I'll come......"

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, Xiao Chujiu took his arm back again, and Xiao Laodao said to Wu Er: "The last chance, if you are shocked again, just roll me on!" ”

Wu Er swallowed hard, "I'm me, I'm not going to be called anymore, Master, don't worry." ”

Wu Er put his arm into the coffin again, and sure enough, he didn't shout anymore, but although his arm was digging something in the coffin, his legs were shaking outside.

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao said coldly, "No wonder you don't dare to go to the tomb alone, it's really not a piece of material for digging soil, remember, when digging out the objects in the coffin, you must be bold, and you must be careful, and try to dig out the things inside." ”

Wu Er's face turned pale at this time, and when he heard Xiao Laodao say this, his upper teeth touched his lower teeth, and he nodded tremblingly.

After tossing and having a meal, Wu Er finally touched the objects on the corpse, and he really gained a lot, gold, silver, and jade, a total of more than 20 pieces.

Xiao Laodao looked at these objects, smacked his lips and said: "I haven't cleaned it, there are still things under the clothes of the female corpse, but her body has not yet decomposed, so she needs to save some face, and the objects under the clothes are forgotten." ”

Subsequently, Xiao Laodao asked Wu Er to burn incense and paper money in front of the coffin and kowtow, and said something offensive and similar to exchanging yin money for yang instruments.

This trip was very smooth, and it was very fruitful, but there was one thing, Taiye and Xiao Laodao never figured it out, these two tightly sealed tombs, even if they were ventilated, it was impossible for the wind to come out of the cracks in the walls. Wu Er said that a cool breeze came out of the crack in the wall, which gave him a mystery, but where did this wind come from?

Leaving the tomb and coming outside, the sky was already dark, Wu Er saw this, and hurriedly beckoned the grandfather and a few people: Let's go quickly, the long-term workers of the landlord's family will go to the ground to weed in a while, and we won't be able to leave if they see us.

A few people quickly left the crop field and came to the path outside, at this time, the little ghost monkey was honestly sitting on the mule cart, and the master asked it, "Are you okay?" The little ghost monkey nodded obediently.

Wu Er looked puzzled and glanced at this "mysterious child", and by this time, he had not seen the true face of the ghost monkey. The crowd quickly mounted their horses, did not stop for a moment, whipped their horses, and quickly left.

After walking for a while, it was bright and there was a large mound on the side of the road, and the mound was overgrown with weeds. Xiao Laodao looked back and forth, let everyone stop, and the horses stayed on the road, leaving the ghost monkey to watch the luggage and horses again.

Xiao Laodao greeted everyone and walked around the back of the mound, everyone didn't understand what Xiao Laodao wanted to do, could it be that under this mound, there was also a tomb?

Subsequently, Xiao Laodao asked Xiao Chujiu to take out all the objects taken out of the tomb, more than 20 objects, everyone didn't understand what this meant, Xiao Laodao didn't explain to everyone, squatted on the ground and divided the objects into two piles, each pile was more than ten kinds, and then, he raised his head and asked Wu Er, "Do you still want to worship me as a teacher now?" ”

Wu Er nodded hurriedly, "I want to worship, in the future, you will be my father, and I will honor you for the rest of my life." ”

"That's good." Xiao Laodao stood up from the ground, "Then you tell me, since we know now, have you lied to me?" ”

Wu Er was stunned for a moment, and said, "Master, where do I dare to lie to you, I didn't lie to you!" ”

"Really, not?"

"It's true, it's not true."

Xiao Laodao frowned slightly, and said, "I'll give you one last chance, to be honest, did you lie to me?" ”

Wu Er looked a little dumbfounded, "Master, Master, I, I really didn't lie to you...... I don't have any private collections of the things in this or this tomb, they are all here. ”

Xiao Laodao shook his head slightly, "I'm not talking about this, other things, think about it carefully, is there anything that you lied to me?" ”

Wu Er hurriedly said: "I, I really didn't lie to you, I told you everything, a few years ago, my parents died, I, I am not angry, and I ...... all the money in the family."

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "Okay, needless to say, you look at these two piles of objects on the ground, which pile you like, take them away, and don't follow us in the future." ”

Wu Er suddenly looked a little dumbfounded, "Master, you, why don't you speak, didn't you say that you wanted to accept me as an apprentice, why, why do you want to drive me away now?" ”

Xiao Laodao looked at him, didn't say the reason, and said coldly: "Where are the piles of them?" If you don't, I'll choose first. ”

"Master, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, I don't accept dishonest apprentices."

"I—I'm not being dishonest......"

At this time, the master was also full of doubts, Wu Er has always been honest, why is he dishonest?

"Hurry up and choose, let me go as soon as you're done!" Xiao Laodao looked very ruthless at this time.

Wu Er's eyes rolled twice, looked at the objects on the ground, and then looked at Xiao Laodao, "Okay, okay...... I'm me, I'......, I'll choose," Wu Er chose one of them, and when he reached out to get the pile of objects, the master found that Xiao Laodao showed a sneer.

Wu Er quickly took the object into his arms, and Xiao Laodao immediately motioned to Xiao Chujiu and picked up the other pile.

Xiao Laodao said to Wu Er earnestly: "This pile of objects, save a little use, it is enough for you to use for a lifetime, marry a daughter-in-law in the future, live a good life, and the mule cart on the road will also be sent to you." ”

Wu Er didn't say a word, lowered his head and arched his hand to Xiao Laodao, and left with his objects, Xiao Laodao looked at the back of him leaving and shook his head gently.

After Wu Er drove the mule cart away, everyone got on their horses and continued to rush forward, and after walking for a short time, the master asked Xiao Lao Dao puzzledly, "Brother Xiao, where did Wu Er lie?" Are we unloading the mill and killing the donkey? ”

"What unloading and killing donkeys?" Xiao Laodao sneered and glanced at the master, and then instructed Xiao Chujiu, "Chujiu, take out the chisel from before and let the elder brother see ......"
