Passing through the lofty mountains and dense jungles, an open grassy slope appeared in front of everyone, and in the distance of the grassy slope, several earth-like peaks stretched out in the distance.

Xiao Laodao raised his hand and pointed to the mountain peaks and asked everyone: "Look at these peaks, what do they look like?" ”

The master didn't say anything, Xiao Shiyi didn't say anything, Xiao 13 hurriedly replied: "It's like a grave!" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at him, "Yes, the children can be taught, there are a total of seven peaks here, called Qiwang Mountain, it is said that on each peak, there is a barbarian king, and the burial goods are quite rich." There are also those who say that there is a Taoist priest in the past, refining the elixir of life, but there is a lack of seven flavor medicine, the Taoist priest searched for the famous mountains and rivers, and finally found the seven flavor medicine on these seven mountains, and set up a Dan furnace in the first mountain to refine the elixir. ”

Xiao Laodao pointed to the peak in the middle of several peaks, "This is the first mountain among the seven peaks, and it is also the place where we are going, it is said that there is a Ming Dynasty feudal official, who was a soil emperor during his lifetime, rich and rival the country, and there are countless funeral goods after death. ”

Xiao Shisan suddenly smiled and said, "Master, if we take them all out, wouldn't it be developed!" ”

Xiao Laodao snorted lightly: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, there are so many tomb robbers in the world, and such a famous tomb, I'm afraid that someone has already come." ”

"That means we might have come for nothing?" Xiao 13 looked a little disappointed.

Xiao Laodao said: "According to the report, the tomb here has not been taken away, maybe the entrance to the tomb cannot be found, or maybe it is ......."

"Maybe what?"

Xiao Laodao glanced at Xiao Shisan, didn't say anything more, and changed the topic: "Let's go, maybe you will understand when you get closer." ”

In the middle of the seven peaks, there is a canyon, and there is a river in the canyon, and the river is fast, dividing the seven peaks.

Xiao Laodao took a few people around the canyon in a few circles, and finally shook his head and sighed, because, although the peaks were not high, they were rugged and steep, extremely steep, and there was no place to climb them.

Xiao Laodao said to everyone, there must be a way up the mountain, otherwise, how would the coffins of those soil emperors be buried?

The first mountain of the seven peaks, the closest to the river, under the first mountain, everyone found a cottage, built by the mountain and the water.

When everyone came to the cottage and took a look, the grandfather immediately suspected that it was a Xiangma cottage, but the grandfather soon found that most of the people in the cottage were old like women and children, like a village, but there were also wooden fences on the periphery of the cottage, which was very similar to the layout of those Xiangma cottages.

Xiao Laodao looked into the cottage and said: "This is a barbarian cottage, we don't have to be afraid, many barbarians are easier to get along with than us Han people, we can inquire, they should know the way up the mountain." ”

When I came to the gate of the cottage, there were two guards at the door, dressed like the old and young women and children in the cottage, dressed in fancy clothes, and armed with machetes and spears.

Xiao Laodao walked in front of them, arched his hand to the two, and said hello in official language, one of the guards looked at the grandfather and asked in blunt official language: "Where did you come from?" ”

Xiao Laodao hurriedly replied: "We are from the Central Plains, and we came to Shu to do some fur business, we don't want to get lost, enter your land by mistake, tired and hungry, and want to buy some food in the village." ”

When the two guards heard this, they did not open the door, and one of them turned and left, as if he had gone inside to report it. After a while, the man returned, muttered a few words to another gatekeeper, and then the two men opened the door to the cottage. However, the two of them warned the grandfather that the cottage would not entertain outsiders in recent days, and they would leave quickly after buying food.

Xiao Laodao agreed.

This village looks at the scale is not small, there can be hundreds of houses, almost all of them are bamboo houses or thatched houses, after the grandfather and a few people entered the cottage, it seems that they are a little strangely dressed, and the whole cottage looks out of place, many men, women and children, with strange and vigilant eyes look at them.

Xiao Laodao was very easy-going, with a smile on his face, and when he saw people, he clasped his hands into fists and asked them if they understood the official dialect of the Central Plains. Many people didn't seem to understand what Xiao Laodao was saying, and in the end, there was a middle-aged man about forty years old, who said that he knew a few words of official language.

So, Xiao Laodao asked him if he could find a place to rest and buy some food in the cottage, and the man said that it was okay to buy food, but it was not okay to stay overnight in the cottage.

Xiao Laodao suddenly showed a trace of doubt, but Xiao Laodao didn't ask why he couldn't stay overnight, and took out a string of copper coins, wanting the man to lead the way to find a place to buy food, but the man didn't want copper coins, saying that copper coins were useless to them, and if there was gold and silver, they could exchange gold and silver for food.

Xiao Laodao immediately put away the copper coins and took out a small ingot of silver, the man was very happy to see it, accepted the silver, and took the grandfather and a few people to his own house. Subsequently, he took out more than a dozen round cakes for the grandfather, which they called "baba cakes", made of coarse grains, and looked like they had flattened the head of the nest.

The man asked the grandfather to rest in his house for a while, and he asked his mother-in-law to make some more babas.

Xiao Laodao didn't let him, and said to the man: "No need, these are enough for us to eat." After a pause, Xiao Laodao said again: "How many of us ...... It's a fur business, but the business is not good, and we will do some herbal medicine business, we got lost and came to your land, we don't want to have a lot of herbs in the mountains, but we can't find the way up the mountain, can my brother show us the way up the mountain? ”

As soon as Xiao Laodao said this, the man's face changed suddenly, and he actually returned the silver to Xiao Laodao, snatched the cake, and couldn't help but say, and drove several people out of the door.

The grandfather was puzzled, but he couldn't directly conflict with the man, and in the end, several people came out of the man's house and came to the street.

The man also came out after him, and shouted in the street, and the men, women, and children on the street immediately gathered around, and they all shouted at the grandfather.

The master and the others were confused, although they couldn't understand what they were shouting, but from their expressions and movements, it could be seen that these barbarians seemed to be very unwelcoming and drove them away.

Xiao Laodao gave the master a few looks, and a few people left the cottage in a gloomy manner, and the two people guarding the door at the gate of the cottage also warned the grandfather not to come back, and if they came back, they would be locked up.

After leaving their cottage and walking out along the river for a long time, the grandfather couldn't help but ask Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, what's going on with the people in their cottage, how can they say that they will turn their faces?"

Xiao Laodao laughed "poof" and said, "This shows that there is a treasure on the mountain!" ”

When Xiao Shisan heard this, he hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, what the master said is right, as soon as the master asked about the road on the mountain just now, the person's face changed, indicating that they didn't want to call us up the mountain, there must be a treasure on the mountain!" ”

Xiao Laodao nodded slightly, "And what the gatekeeper said just now, recently they don't entertain outsiders, so let's buy food and leave quickly, which shows that ...... There may be something going on in their village recently, maybe it has something to do with going up the mountain. ”

As soon as Xiao Shisan heard this, he immediately gave Xiao Laodao a thumbs up, "Master is wise, I also felt that there was something wrong with his words just now, there must be something wrong with their cottage recently!" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at Xiao Shisan, and continued: "Let's stay near their cottage and see if there will be any movement in their cottage, if not...... ”

"Huh?" Xiao Shisan suddenly looked a little dumbfounded, "I, I'll sneak into their cottage to catch, catch...... Master, it's better to let the tenth senior brother go, the tenth senior brother is strong in martial arts, and he can single-handedly take the head of the big boss of the cottage, my kung fu ...... Don't talk about arresting people when you go in, I'm afraid you'll catch them. ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at Xiao Thirteen and said, "If you don't go, then I'll send Twelve." ”

When Xiao 13 heard this, he immediately shouted: "Master, you send twelve wooden lumps, then it is better for me to go, he will be arrested as soon as he enters." ”

When Xiao Twelve heard this, he glared at Xiao Thirteen fiercely, and gave Xiao Laodao a fist, "Master has something to say, even if he orders, he will not hesitate to go to the soup!" ”

Xiao 13 immediately said to Xiao 12: "You just rest, the master didn't ask you to go." ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "Wait a few days." ”

Several people found a remote place opposite the cottage and condescendingly monitored the entire cottage.

On the first day, there was no movement in the cottage, and on the second day, there was still no movement, and on the third day, the grandfather was a little breathless, and there was a kung fu to monitor the cottage, so it was better to find the way up the mountain, so the grandfather discussed with Xiao Laodao, whether it was a misjudgment, the people in the cottage may themselves reject outsiders, and they don't want outsiders to stay in their cottage.

Xiao Laodao waved his hand and persuaded the master to wait quietly, there must be something wrong with their cottage, otherwise, they would not be so nervous because they asked for a way up the mountain.

Waited until the evening of the fourth day, there was really movement in the cottage, in the middle of their cottage, a bonfire was lit, the fire was soaring, and I saw that the bonfire was full of people next to it, and after a while, there was the sound of leather drums and beating bamboo boards, which was very rhythmic, followed by the singing, and I saw the figures shaking next to the bonfire, and it seemed to dance.

Xiao Laodao whispered to everyone that this might be some kind of festival for their barbarians. However, Xiao Laodao's voice fell, and there was actually a cry in the song, singing and crying. Thanks to Heaven Tian Shaofeng and 68Wang for the 10,000 grinding iron coins rewarded.

Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment, and then changed his words, "This is not a festival, they should be holding a funeral, which is probably the reason why we were kicked out of the cottage." ”

The master was puzzled, "What can they do with the funeral and kicking us out of the cottage?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled and asked, "Have you seen the cemetery near their cottage?" ”

The master was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Laodao said: "They must have a way up the mountain, and the dead people in the village must be buried on the mountain." ”
