Dad was joking with me, but suddenly he heard Xiaodao say such a sentence, and his smiling face suddenly froze, and then, like a movie in slow motion, the corners of his curved eyes slowly straightened, his brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became depressed.

I don't understand the words of the knife, who is the night owl? I know that night owls mean a lot, but the knife said that I was targeted by night owls, which made me a little panicked, so I poked Ah Jiu lightly and asked in a low voice, "Who is the night owl?" ”

"Men in Black!" Ah Jiu told me very firmly and softly.

I was stunned for a moment, and I was confused for a moment, "What are those men in black falling to the ground?" Why are you staring at me? ”

Dad silently lit a cigarette, exhaled and said, "It's a matter of time, okay, now let's catch up with it, the initiative is in hand, but we must buy time, let's discuss the plan to enter the Nine Shadows Palace." ”

First of all, everyone judged the situation of the forces of all parties, although Yu Su's team was well-equipped, but they lost the most core figure, the advisor Li Han, which made them a lion with sharp teeth but blind, because according to the experience of the temple at the bottom of the lake, even if Yu Su's team was armed to the teeth, it would be useless, unless they hired a company of sappers to come over and give the Nine Shadows Xuangong a big cover, but in the current situation, they must follow Daddy's arrangement.

The second is Yang Lao, although he is a senior tomb robber and has experienced a lot of storms, but all his subordinates have gone to see Marx, and Yang Lao's tendons have also been picked off by a knife, and he has almost become a waste, so he must unconditionally serve his father as the boss.

Then there are the night owls, that is, those people in black, they may lurk in the dark, not far from us, or they may be completely thrown off by us, no matter what, they can only observe us in the dark, with our current equipment and the number of personnel, the people in black are easy to dare not approach, especially, Ah Jiu's Gege has been patrolling back and forth, it is the biggest taboo of the people in black.

Everyone was well aware of this, so they unanimously handed over the command to their father.

Dad was also in charge in this case, and immediately said the personnel transfer plan.

All the personnel are divided into four groups, the first group is led by the father, Xiaodao, Yu Su, Yang Lao, Li Weiqi and all the gringos armed with assault rifles go to the ground with the elder brother; The second group was left outside by Ah Jiu and Gege to reconnoiter in case the men in black raided; The third group is composed of personnel who carry equipment in the Soviet team, which is responsible for the circulation of materials and the maintenance of equipment; The fourth group consisted of the wounded, whose main task was to stay in the camp to recuperate.

However, to my greatest annoyance, my dad actually divided me into the fourth group, and I immediately raised my hand in protest, and after three failed protests, I finally won the fourth protest (the method is a bit disgraceful, so I won't mention it here), although I was slapped by my father, but finally joined my father's group.

According to Dad's instructions, we will rest for a night tonight, and enter the Qing Dynasty aristocratic tomb early tomorrow morning, the reason is very simple, Dad also said before, before determining the internal pattern of the Nine Hidden Palace, we must find out all the ancient tombs buried around the Nine Hidden Palace, in the words of Grandpa Mao, this is called the countryside surrounding the city.

After the discussion, a group of people chatted about something else, but the three forces all have their own purposes, and the chat is also secretly taking other people's secrets, there are words in the words, I am not good at this kind of dialogue, and after chatting a few words, I found that I couldn't talk, so I beckoned Ah Jiu to set up a new tent and plan to sleep well.

Thinking about the way from Beijing to here, the opportunity to close my eyes is really rare, as soon as my butt hits the bed, I immediately fell asleep in a daze.

When I slept until midnight, I was awakened by the cool breeze, went out to pee, and came back saying that I couldn't sleep anymore.

The night in the Northeast was very cool, especially in the mountains, and I sat on the edge of the bed boredly and lit a cigarette, and found that the clinical knife was also with his eyes open, lying looking at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

The father and Ah Jiu on the side slept very deeply, and there was Gege outside, which also saved the manpower of the vigil. Boredom, I leaned over to the knife bed and asked, "Dude, how did you get your skills?" ”

Unexpectedly, the knife glanced at me, turned over directly, and closed his eyes. I was immediately angry, but I don't want to care about an indifferent person like him, this kind of person, the more you pay attention to him, the more he thinks you are annoying.

I stretched out my middle finger behind the knife, made a ziao (pinyin) expression, and then lay lazily on the bed.

At this time, I heard Ah Jiu say: "He has always thought that he and us are not people of the same world, not a world, there is no intersection, you ask him anything, he will not say." ”

"Yikes! You weren't asleep, were you? I got excited and said, "Then tell me which world the knife belongs to." ”

Ah Jiu smiled, made a silent gesture, and then pointed to his father, meaning that he had the opportunity to ask your father. Then he turned around and snored in less than half a minute.

What do I say in my heart, you sleepwalking? Immediately lying on the bed indignantly, thinking to himself who are Daddy's men? All of them are nervous. Well, I'll definitely ask Daddy when I have time, and when this is done, I have to let Daddy spit out everything.

Early the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, my father called us up to eat some hot porridge, and the first group of people began to move.

Dad is right, the Qing Dynasty aristocratic tomb is indeed not far from our camp, out of our camp, along the river bend, a wind blows, and I see many heads hanging in the woods in front of us, the heads are rotten and do not look good, all with a kind of something similar to cow tendon hanging on the branches. Thinking about these heads, I didn't want to leave the camp, I even came out to pee alone last night, and I was suddenly excited, and I was a little afraid.

As I had seen this kind of scene before, the fear flashed through my mind, and I was relatively calm, but the gringos had all raised their rifles, and they were nervous and did not dare to step forward.

Daddy couldn't explain why there were so many heads here, probably some rare sacrificial custom, or something to do with the ghost and the wolves.

On the hillside behind the human head forest, an irregular small hole was exposed, and there were obvious traces of mudslides next to the cave entrance, but the land showed a terrifying red, and you could see a lot of blue stones buried in the soil, I wondered, didn't it mean that this place collapsed thirty years ago? After so many years, why hasn't any grass grown at all in the place where it collapsed?

Dad said: "The anti-theft technology of this tomb is very clever, there is a strong acid isolation layer on the outside of the tomb wall, I think after the collapse, the strong acid has flowed out, so this piece of collapsed place is not a single grass, the red soil, is corroded and deteriorated by strong acid, the previous craftsmen did not know that this kind of thing is strong acid, so this kind of tomb is called a blood tomb, it is a great omen, and you will avoid it when you see it." ”

Yu Su looked at the bare small hole and sighed: "The ancients actually knew how to use strong acid to prevent theft, which is really clever." ”

I stuck out my tongue, and said in my heart that Gao Ming is a fart, this is too terrifying, if this is an inexperienced tomb robber, without knowing it, a shovel goes down, and the strong acid in it sprays all over the body, it is simply worse than death? I suddenly remembered that this kind of tomb anti-theft technology had appeared in the novel, and at first I thought it was made up by the author, but now that I see it with my own eyes, I can't help but feel a chill in my back.

Dad said: "Next, I will lead the way, behind the Little Knife Palace, without the permission of the two of us, no one can touch the things inside, the mechanism in this tomb is very evil, and we will be wiped out if we are not careful." ”

We nodded, and then followed Daddy carefully through the red earth, and then into the small hole that had collapsed.

The back of the small hole is very spacious, it is a passage that leads straight to the darkness, Dad said that this is the main tomb road, the tomb structure is not complicated, only one main tomb road leads directly to the main tomb chamber, there are two ear chambers and a sacrificial platform in the tomb chamber, behind the shadow wall of the sacrificial platform is the coffin room of the tomb owner, this pattern is a typical Qing Dynasty tomb, there are no burial goods in it, the identity of the tomb owner can not be seen from the scale and burial goods, but there is a very domineering organ between the sacrificial platform and the shadow wall, it can be imagined, The owner of the tomb should have been a very powerful character during his lifetime.

Dad's words should not be alarmist, but we add up to a total of twelve people, including eight foreigners equipped with M16 assault rifles, grenades, pistols, lighting equipment is a high-performance cold light miner's lamp brought by Yu Su, the penetration is particularly strong, and there are two packs of magnesium light flares, a total of more than 100, this kind of equipment compared to when we were in the lake bottom temple, it is simply from the primitive society to the twenty-first century, and I think this Qing Dynasty tomb is limited in scale, compared with the lake bottom temple, the danger factor is compared with the lake bottom temple, It's also a world of difference, I'm still more relieved, but after all, it's only the second time I've gone to the ground, and I still can't help but be a little nervous.

After walking along the tomb for a few minutes, the hole at the back became smaller and smaller, but because the tomb road was straight, the light from the hole could still shine in, so in order to save power, we only turned on the front and back two miner's lights.

As I walked, I found that there were murals on the walls on both sides, but the murals looked very blurry and a little illusory, and when I looked closely, I found that it was not the problem of the murals, but the tomb at some point There were a lot of foggy things, like fog, which made the eyes feel a little foggy, and I found that when I was panting, those foggy things were still flowing with the air current.

I took a few steps and asked my father, "Did this happen to you when you first came in?" ”

Dad frowned and said, "No, everyone hurry up and put on gas masks, I'm not sure if this kind of thing is poisonous." ”

As soon as we heard this, we hurriedly put on our gas masks, and then continued to move forward, and as soon as we took two steps, my father suddenly stopped, looked at the mural on the wall and said, "No, when we first came, we didn't see this kind of mural!" ”

Everyone gathered behind Daddy and looked at the murals. After taking one look, I immediately took a breath of cold air and felt goosebumps rise all over my body.

The mural is not a story of the tomb owner's life, nor is it a narrative painting, the things on the mural are not people at all, but two huge pythons, which are intertwining, which reminds me of the previous experience of the snake fairy cave, and I feel a little panicked, and the expression of the two giant snakes is very humane, it actually gives people an obscene feeling, and what is even more bizarre is that the corners of the two giant snakes are raised, and their eyes are slightly narrowed, showing a greedy smile, but the fiery red letter and fangs make people shudder, I felt a sense of foreboding welling up in my mind.

Daddy hissed and took a breath of cold air and shouted, "It's not good, hurry up and get out!" ”
