Chapter 242: Ancestral Secret
Before, Old Man Wei and a few people went down to the river by relying on the breath-holding ability they had cultivated since they were children playing in the river, plus the few gourds fixed on their bodies, but at this time, the people who accompanied them into the water had professional diving equipment.
It is said to be an accompaniment, but in fact it is supervision. One of them was a hunchback, this man wore a black hat with no expression on his face, and the others were wearing black tights, as if the hunchback was a master they had invited.
The group successfully found the previous thief hole, and then rushed in.
After entering the burial chamber, one of the men took out a yellowed map-like object, looked around at a certain scene, compared it, and after a few minutes, his face was beaming with joy.
The young old man Wei knew that this tomb was the place they were looking for, and it was likely that they had been searching for many years.
The hunchbacked man took the map and walked all the way to the main burial chamber.
There are seven coffins in the center of the main burial chamber, arranged in the form of the "Big Dipper", among which the coffin at the North Star position is the largest, and the height of the light is two meters high.
At this time, Old Man Wei was a little puzzled, didn't he say before going down the river to find something similar to an alchemy furnace, that thing should be placed in the ear chamber next door where bronze utensils are specially placed, how did he come to the main tomb?
The man with the map did not speak, he first walked to the large coffin, circled around, then shook his head, and walked to one of the small coffins.
Old Man Wei had been following him, and as soon as he walked in front of this small coffin, he saw a strange symbol on the side of the coffin. Old man Wei knew that he didn't know much to read, so after a few glances, he gave up. However, the hunchbacked man with the map seemed to really recognize the strange shape of the words on it.
"This is it!"
These were the first words the man spoke, and his voice was deep and cold.
Then several other people immediately stepped forward, took out the crowbar they had brought with them, stood on the four corners very professionally, and then shouted the black words of the inverted fighter, and got off the crowbar together.
The coffin board was knocked open, and Old Man Wei instinctively covered his nose, because usually a very unpleasant foul smell would immediately come out of the coffin that had just been opened, but after the coffin board was opened, there was no stench.
Curious, he took a few steps forward and looked inside the coffin.
At this glance, the whole person was shocked.
There was no body in the coffin, but a stone staircase leading downward.
It turns out that this coffin is a hidden secret door! Old man Wei said in his heart.
They had occasionally come across ancient tombs with secret doors before, but the doors were hidden in the walls, and he had never seen them hidden in a coffin.
The face of the person holding the map did not show any abnormality, which showed that all this was expected by him, which means that he not only knew the existence of this ancient tomb, but also knew the structure of this tomb.
The group entered the coffin and descended the stone steps.
The stone steps are not long, and the old man Wei estimated that it was only about twenty meters, and at the end was a large hall, in which all kinds of strange things were placed, including bronze tools, stone tools, and a larger black coffin.
Old man Wei saw something similar to a big furnace on the side of the coffin, and said in his heart: Could this be what the old man wanted?
The hunchbacked man with the map also saw the stove, laughed dryly, and walked slowly.
……
Speaking of this, Old Man Wei paused slightly, took a big sip of tea, and motioned to the waiter to pour him full.
After a change of breath, he continued.
The shape of the stove was very strange, it seemed to be divided into two layers, and it was a huge turtle carrying a huge stove in the shape of a human brain. After Old Man Wei said the word "human brain", he also specially explained to us that the thing on the back of the bronze turtle looks very similar to a human brain, and there are even seven horizontal and eight vertical gaps, which may be used to emit heat during alchemy.
At this time, the man on the map turned to look at Old Man Wei, and after his cold eyes fixed on his face for two seconds, he looked at one of his companions again, and hooked his hand to signal Old Man Wei's partner to come over.
At that moment, Old Man Wei had already realized that something was wrong, and from that person's eyes, he read the murderous aura!
Sure enough! As soon as his companion walked over and was about to speak, he saw the man in black next to him draw his long knife in a flash of lightning, and then cut off his companion's head from behind.
Seeing this scene, Old Man Wei and the others were all stupefied, and when they realized that it might be difficult for them to get out alive and were about to resist, the men in black had already pulled out their guns.
Old Leader Wei has taught these skills to these people, not to mention that they use weapons, even if they give each of their group a knife, there is absolutely no possibility of victory.
After the man's head was cut off, blood immediately spurted out like fireworks, some of which spewed onto the alchemy furnace and some onto the coffin.
At that time, fear was shrouded in Old Man Wei's heart, in fact, he was already desperate, the two sides were deadlocked, and the room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
At this moment, the alchemy furnace actually made a "bang" sound, and then slowly spun up.
This sudden situation, even the few black-clothed people with guns were stunned, obviously did not expect it.
A minute later, the part of the alchemy furnace in the shape of a human brain slowly cracked, and then fell to the ground piece by piece, like a mottled peeling wall skin.
Then, they saw that the contents of the "human brain" turned out to be a jar made of gold.
Could it be that this is the elixir refined by the ancient alchemists?
He also pondered about this afterwards, maybe this elixir needs thousands of years of fermentation to refine, and the key to unlocking it is human blood.
Seeing this scene, only the person with the map in the entire hall had no abnormality on his face, which showed that he was the only one who knew all this for a long time. After a few sneers, the man slowly took off the hat on his head and tore a film off his face.
It's him? How could it be him?
At this moment, everyone, including the few men in black, exclaimed.
This person is the old man Wei who they were brought to see before, and he is also the most well-known figure on the white road in Jinan City at that time, who would have thought that such a respected figure would participate in tomb robbery?
Let's call him "White Boss" for the time being.
Boss Bai looked at Old Man Wei and a few of them, then at a few of his stunned subordinates, and sneered a few times.
"This is a secret that our family has hidden for more than 2,000 years, and it is also the mission of generations, and now it has finally been completed by me!"
At that time, the young old man Wei didn't dare to say that he understood this sentence, but judging from this sentence and the experience of the day, arriving at this hidden hall of the ancient tomb, and even using human blood to open the alchemy furnace, were all in Boss Bai's plan, which was also the so-called secret in his mouth.
According to Boss Bai, this secret should have been passed down from his ancestors and passed down from generation to generation for two thousand years. In order to fulfill the mission handed down from his ancestors, he did not hesitate to pretend to be sick, and even concealed his subordinates.
At that moment, Old Man Wei really couldn't figure it out, Boss Bai already had such a high status and wanted money? It's just a number to him; Want beautiful women? As long as he is willing, no matter how handsome the yellow flower girl is, he can find a company.
Whether it is a spiritual pursuit or a material pursuit, it is said that he has achieved it, and what is his intention to spend so much effort and take great risks?
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him.
