Chapter 73: Opening the Mountain and Building a Tomb

Early the next morning, the captain packed up his things, woke everyone up, and prepared to enter the mountain again.

It was inconvenient for Chu Lei to take Xiaoxiao into the mountain, but the old Taoist priest strongly asked to follow, so Chu Lei had to hand over Xiaoxiao to Wang Ping to take care of him.

The captain didn't let Xiaosa follow, but asked him to stay and answer. At the same time, considering the danger of this trip, Xu Li, who was bent on going up the mountain to find her boyfriend, was also stayed.

When the group entered the mountain again, the goal of the trip was much clearer - to find the boulder with the circle on the photo.

According to common sense, the boulder was more than a man tall, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a rounded triangle. The features are obvious, and it should be easy to find.

However, until it was dark, the people still found nothing.

The captain had to arrange for camping.

And the team led by Jianchen stood aside and watched, without the slightest intention of helping.

The captain didn't care, and worked together with Mingxuan to set up a tent.

On the other side, Chu Lei and the old Taoist priest also set up their tents.

"Alright, let's get ready for bed with a bite to eat." The captain said.

Chu Lei snorted at Jianchen's people, "What about them?" ”

"They are swords that hurt people, and they don't need to." The captain said.

Having said that, Chu Lei still walked over to Jianchen and asked if the other party needed to eat and what to do when he went to bed at night.

Jianchen was wearing a black practice uniform, sitting cross-legged on the ground, a long sword hidden in the scabbard, and placed it across his knees.

The ten people he led were also the same as Jianchen, like ten sculptures.

"You don't need to worry about us, just take care of yourself." Jianchen said lightly.

"Damn! When everyone goes up the mountain together, they are companions, and there is no reason to ignore companions! ”

Chu Lei turned his head and shouted at the old Taoist: "Old Dao, bring the dried meat and water and divide it among the big guys." ”

Jian Chen's eyes moved, and he said, "Don't bother." ”

Chu Lei said: "What's the trouble? Anyway, the amount brought is enough, and the big guys can eat it separately, and they can also reduce the weight a little. ”

In a few moments, the old Taoist priest came over with something and divided it for everyone.

Jian Chen's eyebrows were lowered, motionless, like an old monk sitting still.

He didn't move, and the people didn't touch the jerky and water.

Chu Lei said: "I said Brother Chen, everyone is in the same camp, is it necessary to dislike it so much?" ”

Jian Chen said: "We don't need it. ”

"I've got something here for you, so be it." Chu Lei beckoned to the old Taoist priest and returned to the tent with him.

Jian Chen looked at the water and dried meat placed in front of him, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and his heart warmed slightly.

After dawn, I continued to search the mountain, and finally, I found the stone on the side of the mountain.

The stone was heavy, and the five of them pushed hard together to push the stone away.

And under the stone, there is a hole that slopes downward, and it is densely packed with corpses!!

Chu Lei gasped, and his scalp exploded. Is this a mass grave? How can there be so many corpses?

The old Taoist priest said coldly: "A tomb is successful, and ten thousand bones are withered." Every tomb is made of the flesh and blood of the living! ”

"How?" Chu Lei exclaimed.

"In order to prevent the theft of their tombs, tomb owners often set up various mechanisms in the tombs. Naturally, these mechanisms are made by craftsmen, and if you want these craftsmen to keep secrets, of course you have to kill them all! ”

"Moreover, once the craftsman who repaired the tomb dies, naturally no one will know the location of this tomb."

Chu Lei's mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.

From the perspective of the owner of the tomb and his descendants, there is nothing wrong with this. Moreover, the people who can open mountains and build tombs are naturally emperors and royal families, and princes and generals.

For those high-ranking big people, what is the life of a mere craftsman? I'm afraid it's almost the same as pigs and dogs.

This is a legacy of the social context, and the so-called "equality of all people" is just a joke.

Even in modern times, there are still certain privileges, just not so exaggerated.

"Let's go down." The captain said.

Although the entrance is narrow, you can bend down to enter, and the road behind it is much more relaxed.

Along the way, you can also see a lot of abandoned stone and wood.

"Ancestors, we are here to find out the truth, you are strange, you are strange." Chu Lei muttered quietly.

After the baptism of the years, the corpse will be weathered into ashes when stepped on, and along the way, you can hear the sound of "crunch" and "rustle" everywhere.

"I've been dead for so long, I've long since lost my soul!" Ming Xuan said disdainfully, "Coward! ”

Chu Lei said: "What do you know? It's not strange that this is called a ceremony! ”

"Humph!" Ming Xuan snorted disdainfully, didn't bother to pay attention to Chu Lei, took two steps forward, and approached the captain, "Senior brother, what kind of person could it be, who built a tomb in this mountain?" ”

The captain said: "It's not good, you have to meet the owner of the tomb to know." ”

The tombs of emperors and princes and generals are mostly built on the mountain, taking the breath of the mountain and the earth, nourishing the treasure cave, so as to bless the descendants. There are so many names and surnames in history, and there are many nameless and nameless nobles, who knows who is lying here?

The underground passage is not very long, and after walking for less than two sentences, it will come to an end.

At the end of this passage, there is an underground palace!

"With brick and stone as the city wall, the stone gate as the entrance, the front, the front, the back three halls in the middle, supplemented by the side halls on both sides. The architecture of this underground palace is exactly the same as on the drawings. Chu Lei thought to himself. He couldn't help but glance up at Ming Xuan, who also happened to look at him, and the two of them looked at each other.

"If Poor Dao dies, if he can be buried here, this life will be worth it." The old Taoist priest looked dull and muttered.

Chu Lei said: "Or, you stay?" ”

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said with a dry smile: "Talk, just talk." ”

It is no wonder that the old Taoist priest has such an idea, it is not an easy task to open a mountain and build a tomb, let alone build such an underground palace. It can be seen that the identity of the owner of this tomb is prominent, and he must be a decent person.

The captain said, "Jianchen, you go down and have a look first." ”

Jian Chen nodded, and jumped directly from the end of this passage!

"Damn! You're crazy! Chu Lei's eyes widened and exclaimed. He stretched out his hand to grab Jianchen, but Jianchen's body had already flown down.

"You're sick! You're selling your teammates!! Chu Lei glared at the captain with a look of disgrief.

The captain said flatly: "This is only twenty or thirty meters away from the palace below, which is very easy for Jianchen. You look down. ”

Chu Lei looked down, and saw that Jianchen had fallen to the ground intact, and he was waving his flashlight at them.

"Damn, is this still human!?" Chu Lei was taken aback. Twenty or thirty meters say jump on the jump, and there is no, it's simple!
