Chapter 13: Dissolution (I

Chen Blind was calm on the surface, but now the auspicious is unpredictable, and he is also uneasy in his heart, Luo Lao Crooked kept taking out his pocket watch to look at the time, but he waited for a long time, everyone's necks were sore and their eyes were sour, and they were greeted by loud voices on it, but the rift valley was always quiet, and there was no movement, only the ominous clouds and mist gathered more and more.

Everyone was waiting anxiously, and suddenly an arrow broke through the clouds, wrapped in a sharp sound, and shot straight into the air, and it was the two people who visited the tomb who sent a signal - there was no poisonous mirage in the deep valley under the top of the mountain.

The group of thieves cheered, each of them tied their arms and sleeves, to ask Ying to go down to rob the tomb, Chen Blind did a few years of unloading the mountain robbery, knowing that if you want to convince the public, you can't just rely on your mouth, in addition to fighting righteousness and squandering money, but also to take the lead, share weal and woe, when robbing the tomb must be done yourself, at the expense of risk, only in front of the subordinates to show the real outstanding, this head of the golden chair to sit firmly, immediately selected twenty or thirty good hands with sharp hands and feet, led by himself himself, carried the centipede hanging ladder down.

The poison in the deep valley may just be afraid of the sun, or it may be temporarily driven back by the lime and hidden somewhere in the tomb, and it is still too early for the whole group to enter the underground palace to carry the treasures, only to bring some elite people who dare to die first, and go down to completely sweep away the hidden dangers in the deep valley.

These dozens of people soft rope hooks and centipedes hang mountain ladders together, climb the cliff, through the clouds and fog down, the gravel and broken soil in the turquoise gaps, scraped down by the bamboo ladder and continue to fall, the cliff spacing on both sides is narrow, a small pebble can also make a good movement, the ears are full of echoes, there are many slippery moss on the stone wall, vines and roses, as long as there is a careless, slippery and falling, or the bamboo ladder is not firmly hung, it will fall into the deep valley and fall to death, this is a double test of psychological and physical strength, but the group of thieves are outlaws, followed the leader's title, and climbed to the bottom of the valley without a sound.

After passing through several layers of clouds and mist, the light is getting darker and darker, the wall is seeping with water droplets, the cold air "forces" people, the thieves estimate that the closer to the underground palace, the heavier the yin qi, the ancient tomb is hidden in sight, but the spirit is lifted, at that time in the mountain lighting mode, mainly burning bamboo and pine candle torches, the use of foreign oil horse lamp is not everyone can afford to use, but the tomb robbers in addition to the horse lamp, gas lamp, there are more mining lamps purchased from the Oriental mine owner, anyway, there are all kinds of things, there is no unified equipment, at this time they each open the mining lamp tied to the body, The horse lantern, for a while, on the damp and dim mountain wall of the "tide", seemed to be lit up with dozens of glowing fireflies, bright and starry, up and down and swaying.

Only Chen Blind is a double night eye, and he doesn't need a lamp and candle to explore the way, he should go down first, he has already reached the end of the deep ravine, this crack on the bottle mountain, the narrower it is the lower it gets, and the narrowest place The two of them can't turn around side by side, although it is said that it is to the bottom, but the crack cuts through the belly of the mountain, and continues to extend downward.

The belly of the mountain is "exposed" in the crack, is a large karst cave, the cave is extremely deep and wide, only smell the evil wind and drums, although you can't see the distance, but you can feel that the obscure atmosphere inside is particularly deep, a heavy eaves rest the mountain hall is under the cracks, this hall is tall and strict, paved with glazed tiles like fish scales, a hole has been trampled under the mountain cracks, the wooden whirls under the tiles are "exposed", there are many limes that have just been thrown down on it, there is a layer of mercury frost hanging on the top of the cave, it seems that there is a lot of mercury stored in the underground palace before, because the mountain is cracked, It had already been evaporated, leaving only a lot of black mercury scars, Chen Blind Man landed lightly on the wooden pole, caught his footsteps and walked to a stable place, and then made a whistle, wanting to contact the "live monkey" and "jumping in the ground" who came down first.

But the clouds and mist on the top of the main hall of the underground palace are "foggy", how can there be the shadows of those two people, at this time, Hua Mao Gui and the rest of the people followed one after another, Hua Mao Gui looked at the situation left and right, and asked: "The big shopkeeper, how is it?" ”

Chen Blind said: "It is a side hall, the whereabouts of the two brothers who came to visit before are unknown, you must wait carefully, and search the top of the temple first." Hua Ant Kui knew that there was danger in the underground palace, so he hurriedly made a gesture, and the group of thieves showed their weapons one after another, carried a horse lantern, and leaned over the glazed tiles to "grope" to find the two missing accomplices.

The group of thieves scattered to "touch" the past, from the side of the collapsed temple roof, straight to the other side, not to see a single figure, two big living people are born without seeing people, dead without seeing the body, but not long ago they also from the bottom of the valley "shot" the arrow as a signal, if there is an accident during the period of time when the group of thieves come down, with the sensitivity of Chen's blind ear, it is impossible not to hear the movement between the rift valley of this sound, I can't help but curse in my heart for hitting the ghost, this bottle mountain is a "medicine" mountain, you can't wait to ignore it, there is nothing in the ancient tomb, once there is something, It must be ruthless, thinking of this, I feel that the gloomy teaching in the underground palace is cold.

To the edge of the top of the hall, you can see that the hole behind the hall is all stone, there are some well fence corridors all around, and there are rockeries made of lake stones, like a garden, there are many foul-smelling sewage in the recess, and there are many rotten woods, many stone troughs are built on the top of the cave, but I don't know what it is for, the group of thieves see that the door of this side hall is blocked, so they have to return to the place where the top of the hall collapses, Hua Ma turned and threw an inch of phosphorus down, and burned the dark hall to the snow, only to see the vermilion lacquer in the hall hugging the pillars, the gold is brilliant, and the palace is not much more than that, but the inch phosphorus can only illuminate for a moment, and before you can take a closer look, it will self-extinguish.

Chen Blind made a move, and immediately two thieves dragged over a bamboo ladder and hung down the hole in the wooden whirlpool under the tile.

Although they knew that the air was circulating, but in order to prevent the mirage, the thieves still brought a pigeon cage, which contained white pigeons, and when they arrived in the temple, the pigeons in the cage seemed to be frightened by something, and fluttered endlessly, and everyone looked at each other, and they all hung their hearts in their throats, and carried a lantern in the temple to shine, and immediately found that the situation was different, and hurriedly asked the chief to come down and check.

Chen Blind held the "Little Shenfeng" upside down, led people down from the bamboo ladder, only to see a few thieves who came down first, all of them had no "color", it turned out that there was no coffin in this side hall, and on the ground paved with purple stone bricks, there were weapons such as armor, knives, spears, bows, shields, axes, and arrows, as well as dozens of sets of saddles, just like a warehouse, they were all the burial things of the dead Yuan soldiers and generals, but when you look at the palace, even Chen Blind felt that the back of his neck was cold.

I saw the clothes, shoes and socks of the two people jumping in the field, all spread flat on the ground, and the buttons were not unbuttoned, and the pigeon cage they brought was thrown aside, the cage door was closed, and there was no damage, but the pigeon inside was gone.
