Chapter 271 Thief Cave
It was a brand new shovel with not even a trace of rust on it! Mo Donkey and I took a closer look at the shovel and couldn't help but look at each other! Mo Donkey said in a deep voice: "It's bad, someone has taken the lead!" ”。
I said, "So what to do?" Let's hurry back and tell the shopkeeper! ”。
Mo Donkey shook his head and said, "Not yet, wait until we figure it out!" ”。
I pulled the shovel off the wall, copied it in my hand, and asked Mo Donkey, "Brother Donkey, are those people still in there?" ”。
Mo Donkey's face was solemn and said, "It's hard to say, maybe they have already left here!" If that's the case, this tomb should be hollowed out by them! Ahem, what a fucking bad luck, we ran for nothing this time! ”。
When Mo Donkey said this, he turned his face and asked Qin Erdan, "I said Qin Erdan, you didn't tell others where you found the silk painting, did you?" ”。
Qin Erdan hurriedly denied it and said, "Good man, don't worry! No one dared to say anything about this thing! ”。
Mo Donkey's eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "That's weird, how do these people know that there is something here?" Did they get the news too? ”。 Speaking of this, Mo Donkey's eyes flashed, and he asked Qin Erdan again: "Qin Erdan, take a closer look, is this the cave you have been to?" ”。
Qin Erdan scratched the back of his head and hesitated: "This ...... Piece...... Is it? ”。 He opened his mouth wide and laughed silly! Mo Donkey scolded: "What are you laughing at grandma? I'm asking you! ”。
Qin Erdan really didn't dare to laugh anymore, he closed his mouth tightly, blinked his eyes, and said with a shrunken voice, "Hungry...... I don't know if I'm hungry......! ”。 Mo Donkey was furious, and slapped Qin Erdan's right cheek, followed by another kick that knocked him to the ground!
Qin Erdan lay on the ground, covered his face, and said aggrievedly: "Hungry...... Is it true that Hungry doesn't know? You...... Why are you beating people? ”。
Mo Donkey took a step forward, and he was going to fight again! I hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him, "Okay, okay, we'll need him to lead the way in a while!" ”。 Mo Donkey's anger did not subside, and he pointed at Qin Erdan and warned: "Old immortal, when you go inside for a while, you give Lao Tzu some cleverness!" ”。
Qin Erdan moved his body back, nodded vigorously in fear, and said, "Hungry remember, hungry remember, hungry must be clever!" ”。
Mo Donkey kicked Qin Erdan again and said, "Then what are you still doing lying down?" Get up and go inside! ”。
Qin Erdan let out a "hey", got up, and said, "I'm hungry, let's go...... Hungry and go! ”。 After saying that, he held the torch and bent his waist, and continued to crawl inside! Mo Donkey and I followed behind Qin Erdan, and asked Mo Donkey while crawling on me, "Hey, I said Brother Donkey!" Where do you think we are now? Why do I think this cave looks like it's just been dug up? ”。
Mo Donkey looked back at me and said, "White fat man, you kid guessed well!" The cave we are in was indeed dug recently! ”。 Then he shone his torch on the wall of the cave and said, "Look, the shovel mark on it is still there!" I just looked closely, and the marks on it are the same as the shovel in your hand! ”。 After saying this, Mo Donkey leaned back against the cave wall, pinched a small handful of soil on the opposite wall, and said, "Look, the soil here is still wet!" ”。
I was confused, "Then who do you say dug up here?" ”。
Mo Donkey smiled and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Naturally, the people who did the business with us all the way did it! Where we are now is in the hole they dug for thieves! ”。
I was taken aback and asked, "Aren't we looking for another hole?" Why did you end up in the thief's hole? ”。
Mo Donkey said, "Didn't I tell you? The shopkeeper and I both thought that there must be a huge tomb of the princely level in this vicinity. The appearance of this thief hole just confirmed the judgment of me and Shopkeeper Zhou...... However, judging from the current situation, that princely-level tomb has been stolen at least twice in the long years, and it is difficult to say whether we can find the other half of the silk painting when we go in! ”。
I was amazed, "Isn't it just once?" How did it become two more times? ”。
Mo Donkey explained: "The group of people who dug this thief hole should be regarded as a time! ”。
I said yes, but what about the second time? Mo Donkey smiled: "Qin Erdan said that he picked up the silk painting next to a dry bone in the cave, and the shopkeeper and I immediately understood, the cave that Qin Erdan said should be another thief cave back then, and the owner of the dry bone should be the lucky captain who died in the thief cave!" ”。
I suddenly realized, nodded again and again, and said, "So that's what happened!" ”。
Mo Donkey urged: "Stop talking, let's quickly climb in and see if there is anything left!" ”。
I agreed, and while following him closely, I muttered to myself: "It's really fucking unlucky, the first time Lao Tzu made a move, he ran into such a tomb that was not dug up, isn't this fucking dog biting pig blisters, empty joy?" ”。 Although I complained in my heart, I was still ready to climb in and take a look, if the tomb was not cleaned by the people in front of us, wouldn't we have to make a big bargain for nothing? Thinking of this, I shouted from behind, "Hey! Wait for me! ”。
This thief hole we are in is hovering and haunting! We climbed for a long time and couldn't find the entrance to that tomb! Mo Donkey suddenly stopped and shouted to Qin Erdan in front of him: "Don't climb, it seems that something is wrong here!" ”。
I took a breath and asked him, "Brother Donkey, what's the matter?" What the hell is wrong with that? ”。
Mo Donkey turned around and asked me, "White fat man, don't you think this thief hole is a bit weird?" ”。
I said, "What's so weird?" Except for the fact that this thief hole is a little longer, there is nothing special about it? ”。
Mo Donkey shook his head and said, "No! According to common sense, they should go in a straight line, digging left and right like this, what are they trying to do? ”。
I said, "They must have been digging and digging, and they were digging in the wrong direction, which is why they are digging like this!" ”。
Mo Donkey said, "No, didn't you find out? Every time the cave changes direction, a large rock will appear in the cave...... I don't understand, why do they avoid these big rocks? Why not move the stone away and dig it straight into the tomb? ”。
I was also a little puzzled and asked, "Right?" What did they think at the time? ”。
Mo Donkey frowned and said, "Is that the case...... ”。
I asked curiously, "What's going on?" ”。
Mo Donkey waved his hand and said, "It's not clear yet, let's find a stone and take a look before we ......!" ”。 After saying that, he crawled forward again, and suddenly called out to me, "White fat man, here is a turn again!" ”。
I asked him later, "Do you see the stones?" ”。
Mo Donkey whispered, "I saw ......!" ”。
I said, "Let me see it too!" ”。
Mo Donkey turned to his side, shone his torch on a large stone covered with dirt, and said, "This is the kind of stone I am talking about, and it is found at every bend!" ”。
I looked at the stone carefully and asked Donkey Mo, "Brother Donkey, isn't this just an ordinary stone?" Nothing special, huh? Is this just a coincidence? ”。
Mo Donkey did not answer my words, but groped for the stone with his hand for a while, and then pulled out the dagger and scraped off the layer of plaster attached to the top of the stone! Suddenly, he was stunned, and he didn't move, and it took a while for him to let out an exclamation!
I nudged him from behind and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What did you see? ”。
Mo Donkey turned his head and stammered to me, "There seems to be a painting on the stone!" ”。
I scoffed, "What's wrong with a painting?" As for scaring you into this virtue? ”。
Mo Donkey opened his mouth and said, "No, how can the painting on this stone be the same as the painting hanging in our old gang leader's house?" ”。
I said, how is this possible? You must be dazzled! Mo Donkey cursed and swore that it would never be possible, the painting was engraved on the stone, I don't believe you came to see it yourself! So I crawled forward again, and by the light of the torches, I finally saw the painting carved in the stone!
The stone was squarely embedded in the earth, revealing only a smooth plane! There is a picture carved on the stone face, in the middle of the picture is a tall sacred tree rising from the ground, around the sacred tree, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances and the birds are salty! The clouds on the top of the canopy are steaming, and you can faintly see the ethereal heavenly palace and the graceful fairy ...... dancing in the heavenly palace!
The second monk I saw was confused, so he asked Mo Donkey, "Brother Donkey, what is painted on this painting?" Is there really a tree that grows so tall in the world? ”。
Mo Donkey said with a solemn expression: "The tree on this painting is the Tongtian God Tree, and it is said that it was born in Rongdi, and its knots are like red pills, and people can live forever if they are served!" ”。
I pointed to the phantom of the Heavenly Palace on the top of the tree and asked him, "Then what is on top of this Heavenly God Tree?" ”。
Mo Donkey lowered his voice and said: "That is the Genting Divine Palace, according to legend, anyone who can climb to the top of the sacred tree will be able to turn into an immortal and live in this Genting Divine Palace!" ”。
It dawned on me, "It turns out that this stone is actually depicted as a mythical story...... Brother Donkey, you said that those who dig holes, why do they avoid these stones? Is it just because of this painting carved in stone? ”。
Mo Donkey scratched a boil growing on his chin and said, "There should be another reason, but what is the reason?" ”。
I also muttered, "Yes! What could be the reason? ”。
I scanned my eyes and found that there was a crack in the center of the stone painting, which looked like a keyhole! I put my eyes together, squinted my eyes and looked inside, and found that it was dark and I couldn't see anything! So I asked Mo Donkey for a dagger, and I gently stabbed it into that gap!
It didn't matter if I stabbed it, but I didn't expect it to touch the mechanism inside the stone, and I only heard a soft "click...... I saw Mo Donkey's face change drastically, and he pushed me away and shouted, "Be careful! ”。
Before Mo Donkey's words fell, a puff of black mist suddenly erupted from the keyhole!
