Chapter 10 Phoenix Terrace

There was a big hole in the wall behind the coffin, and there were blue bricks scattered on the ground, and Sha Dutian didn't look at this wall when he first came out of the coffin, until he stepped on a green brick and found the hole in the wall.

Zhao Ruozhi heard the sound and looked over, the hole in the wall was obviously made by external forces, behind the green bricks was a layer of rammed earth, at a glance he knew that it was not destroyed by animals, he remembered the dead man on the stairs, and wondered if it could be the hole he dug to steal the hole, he reached out and touched the rammed earth layer outside the tomb bricks and said: "This seems to be a robbery hole." ”

The methods of tomb robbers are all legendary, and the hole in front of him is obviously a robbery hole, Shadu Tianqi said: "I have long heard that tomb robbers are clever, it is really amazing." ”

Tomb robbery is originally a matter of damaging yin morality, in the eyes of many people, it is very disgraceful, Zhao Ruozhi said angrily: "Tomb robbery is too damaging to yin morality." Sha Dutian said disapprovingly: "Instead of countless treasures buried in the ground, it is better to let them see the light of day again to reflect their value." ”

It's right to think about it, a lot of treasures have been buried underground for a long time, which is indeed a loss, Zhao Ruozhi said: "Let's go and see the stone gate first." He didn't bother to discuss tomb robbing with Sha Dutian, after all, it was illegal and dishonorable.

Sha Dutian knew that Zhao Ruozhi was a person who kept his duty, everyone had their own ambitions and different ideas, which was very normal.

Walking to the stone gate, Zhao Ruozhi saw that behind the stone gate was the tomb road, the tomb road was not tiled with blue bricks, it was all solid rammed earth, and the tomb road was inclined upward, not very long. Walking to the end of the tomb, a large boulder blocked the way, Zhao Ruozhi and Sha Dutian were dumbfounded, they thought that they could go out from the tomb, who would have thought that there would be such a big boulder.

The boulder is like the sealed soil of the tomb, covering the entire tomb solidly, I really don't know how this tomb was dug up in the first place, Zhao Ruozhi and Sha Dutian reluctantly returned to the tomb.

At this time, there was a 'bang' from the bottom of the coffin, and Zhao Ruozhi and Sha Dutian looked at the coffin at the same time, and they maintained a backward posture, ready to deal with emergencies. Sha Dutian took out the military shovel, the candle on his left hand moved forward slightly, and the coffin was very quiet, but there was no abnormal sound.

Zhao Ruozhi said cautiously: "Lao Sha, could it be that there is something in the coffin?" ”

Sha Dutian was also confused, and he shouted: "What kind of ghost is his grandmother, come out quickly and let Lao Tzu give you a few shovels." Zhao Ruozhi was stunned, he didn't expect Sha Dutian to be so bold, how did he know that Sha Dutian's heart was also up and down, in case something that couldn't be dealt with, it would be miserable.

It was very quiet in the coffin, Sha Dutian slowly stepped forward, Zhao Ruozhi followed, under the candlelight, the skeleton of the corpse tilted its neck and looked at them, Zhao Ruozhi was instantly cold, the skull was too weird, a wisp of black silk loomed in the eye socket of the skull, Zhao Ruozhi and Sha Dutian did not find the wisp of black silk.

"Huh?" Sha Dutian let out a surprised sound, and he continued: "How did the bottom plate of the coffin close? Before Sha Du Tian could go up to take a look, the skeleton inside the coffin suddenly sat up and tilted his neck to look at them.

The grinding between the bones rattled and rattled, and Sha Dutian almost threw the candle away, and he shouted, "Damn, what is this, how do you sit up?" ”

Zhao Ruozhi was even more frightened, he didn't expect this skeleton to sit up, with a mysterious smile in his empty eyes, as if he was the skeleton's meal. Sha Dutian calmed down a little, his right hand was swung out, and a shovel hit the skull, and with a bang, the skull fell in response, and the skeleton without the skull fell into the coffin, and the skull rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.

Sha Dutian stared at the skull, for fear that something would happen to it, the skull suddenly rolled again, Sha Dutian didn't know what the skull was doing, and slapped it with a shovel, bang, the skull was immediately shattered, Sha Dutian was full of strength to shoot it, how could the already rotten skull be able to resist his beat.

He didn't expect to kill the skull so easily, and before Sha Dutian could relax, he saw a wisp of black silk flying out of the skull, spinning in the air, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Zhao Ruozhi was completely stunned, how could the bloodless skull move by itself, Sha Dutian shattered the skull and flew out a wisp of black silk, could it be that this black silk is funny? What is this strand of black silk?

Sha Dutian was about to grab the black silk with his hand, Zhao Ruozhi said: "Don't move, Lao Sha, this black silk is weird, we'd better not touch it." ”

Sha Du Tian's hand stopped in mid-air, and he said curiously: "This thing still dares to scare us, and I don't know what it is." ”

The wisp of black silk just floated in the air, and didn't do anything more, Zhao Ruozhi said reassuringly: "Curiosity kills the cat, let's be careful, it's best to go out now, just go out from this thief hole." Zhao Ruozhi said and walked in front of the thief cave.

Sha Dutian said: "This wisp of black silk is just put like this? Let someone slide? He suddenly thought about whether the dead person on the stairs could have something to do with this wisp of black silk, and when he thought of this, he gasped, and immediately walked away from the black silk, and also walked to the thief hole.

Now the only place that can go out is this thief hole, after Sha Dutian and Zhao Ruozhi discussed, this time Zhao Ruozhi was in front, Sha Dutian was behind, Sha Dutian handed the candle to Zhao Ruozhi, Zhao Ruozhi got into the thief hole and crawled forward.

As soon as Sha Dutian got into the thief hole, the floating black silk flew over and quietly drilled into Sha Dutian's body, Sha Dutian didn't feel it at all, and he thought that the black silk was still floating in the air.

The person who digs the thief hole is very cautious, can only accommodate one person, Zhao Ruozhi climbed not far, the thief hole became an inclined upward trend, the already narrow thief hole, plus it was uphill, Zhao Ruozhi was tired of kicking and kicking, exhaling heavily, and the beads of sweat on his head flowed down his neck. Sha Dutian was even more uncomfortable, he was slightly fatter than Zhao Ruozhi, and the narrow thief hole was a great challenge for him, but he crawled over stiffly, tired and so tired that his face was red and his neck was thick.

After climbing a distance, the cave robbery became a gentle trend, no longer upward, Zhao Ruozhi looked at the situation, there was a huge rock above his head, and it was expected that the tomb robbers had a lot of hard work to hit this robbery hole, it seems that tomb robbers are not a very good profession.

There was a bend in front of the thief cave, there seemed to be some bright light, Zhao Ruozhi said excitedly: "Lao Sha, there is a bright light in front, it seems that it is about to go outside." ”

Sha Dutian kicked and said: "The person who beat the thief must be a thin man, my old Sha is about to die of discomfort." ”

Zhao Ruozhi crawled forward with difficulty, the bend of the thief cave was not very wide, but it was not very laborious, and when he turned the corner, he saw the light that he had not seen for a long time, and he was happy in his heart.

This robbery hole is played in an extremely secret hole, the hole is extremely small, the outside of the hole is overgrown with weeds, Zhao Ruozhi crawled out of the thief hole, and found that this is an arched soil hole, the soil hole is very low, he can only bend over, he stretched out his hand to pull out Sha Dutian, Sha Dutian didn't care where this was, he just lay on the ground and released his fatigue.

Zhao Ruozhi climbed out of the hole, he just poked his head out, and the loose soil at the entrance of the cave fell down, and he found that the hole was actually on a wall, and the hole was six or seven meters high from the ground. Zhao Ruozhi looked at the environment outside the soil cave, the persimmon tree was waving its fruit, as if it was bathing in the sun, and in the deep ditch, the poplar forest was rattling.

Unexpectedly arrived at Phoenix Terrace, Zhao Ruozhi was surprised in his heart, he thought that his current location was still in the belly of the mountain, but he didn't expect it to be Phoenix Ditch at the foot of the mountain, and the location he was in now was Phoenix Terrace.

There are a lot of sour jujube trees growing outside the soil cave, and the trees are full of green sour jujubes, Sha Dutian picked a few reddish sour jujubes and threw them into his mouth to eat, Lai Yangyang said: "This sour jujube is really not bad." ”

Zhao Ruozhi flipped through his backpack and said: "Fortunately, we brought a rope, otherwise we would have to climb down with our bare hands, this sour jujube tree is full of thorns, and it is very uncomfortable to tie it." He tied the rope to the jujube tree, which was the thickness of an arm, and he tugged hard, feeling very firm, and said, "Lao Sha, don't eat it, I'm ready to go." ”

Sha Dutian spit out the sour jujube core and said, "Let's go." ”

It didn't take long for them to reach the ground, and Zhao Ruozhi threw the rope close to the ground to the sour jujube tree in the high place. Sha Dutian looked up at the surrounding scenery and said, "What kind of place is this?" Zhao Ruozhi just finished processing the rope and said: "This is Phoenix Terrace, because it looks like a phoenix, so it is called Phoenix Terrace." ”

Sha Dutian was puzzled: "Where does this look like a phoenix?" I look like a poplar ditch, with poplars everywhere. "The poplars in the ditch are tall and strong, but they have not grown above the height of Phoenix Terrace. Zhao Ruozhi explained: "You are in it, of course you can't see the phoenix, if you stand on the mountain and look at it, you must see it, and there is a legend here." ”

Sha Dutian blurted out: "Twelve street caves." Zhao Ruozhi replied: "You only got half right, legend, Phoenix Feng Shui is very good, you can hide the wind and water, there is a Feng Shui gentleman who said that there will be big people here, but then the Feng Shui was broken, and this place was gradually forgotten." Another legend, that is, there are twelve street holes on the Phoenix Terrace, the holes are connected, the organs are heavy, and they are full of treasures, I heard that there are brave people who go to explore the way, but there is no return, no one dares to go in to explore the treasure again, slowly, it became a legend here, and later it was found that the holes on the Phoenix Terrace are very shallow, and they were used earlier to prevent bandits from looting and storing food, so this legend has become a legend that no one believes. ”

When Sha Dutian heard this, he said: "It seems that this legend is true, there are treasures that are false, and harming people is true." ”

Zhao Ruozhi thought for a while and said: "Lao Sha, maybe the place we went to is really that legend, I only know now where the lime you sprinkled went, the ground inside the cave is full of mechanisms, it should have fallen to the bottom of the ground, and then you were afraid, and then trapped inside." ”

Sha Dutian suddenly realized and said: "So that's the case, this mechanism is too powerful, and the person who made the mechanism is really a master." ”

Zhao Ruozhi was afraid when he thought about it, he looked up at the sky and said: "We are lucky to break out, otherwise there is no return, curiosity kills the cat, it really makes sense." ”

"Ah," Zhao Ruozhi exclaimed.
