Chapter 137: Smoking

Let's recap first:

Winter 2017.

By me, Pudding, the old man, and the four members of the Unsolved Mysteries Research Institute, in order to find the second piece of "Living Dead Jade", we came to the area of Cuomei Peak, the "first peak of the Qinling Mountains", located in the southern region of Gansu. After nearly a month of exploration, we finally found the legendary "Zi Bu Yu Tomb" at the bottom of a lake at the foot of the mountain. ”

The Zibuyu Tomb is a "thirteen-story pagoda." ”

The first layer is: Yellow Bark Grass.

The second layer is: gold.

The third layer is: jade.

The fourth layer is: medicinal herbs.

The fifth layer is: rare treasures.

The sixth layer is: the remains of Huang Sanhe.

The seventh layer is: Lee's remains.

The eighth layer is: the remains of the Huang family.

The ninth layer is: Huang Shuwen's ashes.

At this moment, we are standing on the ninth floor of the stupa, and after experiencing "warning", "treasure" and "hell", it is time for us to enter the so-called "heaven".

On this road, there is heaven. This sentence sounds pleasant, but it is extremely scary to think about. None of us in this group dared to relax our vigilance at this moment, because we knew that in the next four layers, there were not only the silent "real ancient corpses" of the Tang Dynasty, but most importantly, there was also the "living dead jade" that we dreamed of. ”

……

……

The old man crumpled the note in his hand and said viciously: "This kind of fucking thing will only disturb the morale of the army, so don't look at it!" Now that we've decided that we're going to the end, we don't care if there's hell or heaven ahead! ”

I have to admit that I was worried a second ago, but when I saw the old man tearing the note to shreds, even I shouted in my heart: "Okay, tear it well, fuck it!" ”

Under the excitement of the army, we chose to strike while the iron was hot, Uncle Lao Yang and a few of them gathered around the closed door, responsible for breaking the big copper lock, I didn't know how to open the lock with the old man, and I had nothing to do, so I secretly found a place where no one smoked. The old man took me to a corner and asked, "Where's that bag of hibiscus king on you?" Don't hide it, take it out, let's stick a stick. ”

I said, "Old man, this is an ancient tomb, oxygen is thin, and smoking is not very good, right?" ”

The old man looked at me and said, "Which of your nostrils smells the air thin?" This floor is more than 700 square meters, and there is a lot of air, so it's okay to take two sips! Come on, come on, hurry up, don't be verbose, take it out. ”

I said, "Can you really smoke it?" ”

The old man said, "It's okay to take two puffs." ”

I took out half a pack of Hibiscus King from my pocket, handed one to the old man, took one in my mouth, struck a match, and the two of them leaned comfortably against the wall, swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog leisurely, I smoked and laughed: "Old man, you are really unprofessional, how can there be tomb robbers smoking in the tomb?" It's a shame that Lao Lu also said that you are the most powerful tomb robber in China, and I think you are just a ruffian hooligan. ”

The old man smiled: "What did Lao Lu tell you? Say I'm the best in our Chinese tomb robbery industry? ”

I nodded and said, "Well, Lao Lu said that you are better than him." ”

When the old man heard my words, he first laughed, and then said modestly: "The most powerful can't be talked about, the top three and the top five are possible." He is too modest, if you want to talk about tomb robbery skills, he Lu Zhenghua is as famous as the "Lou Family Monkey" in the rivers and lakes! The world calls Lao Lu "Mr. Daca", do you know what Dace is? ”

I said, "I know, it's a pangolin." ”

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, it's a pity that your kid has been with Lao Lu for too short a time, you haven't seen his real skills, Lao Lu's ability to steal holes, that's really fucking a unique in the world!" ”

The old man pointed to Uncle Lao Yang not far away, and sighed: "Look at their gang, robbing a tomb has to be unlocked layer by layer." Hmph, if I were a partner with Lao Lu, I would have served this pagoda in a fucking pot a long time ago, where would I need such trouble? ”

I was stunned, "Oh? Then tell me, if you partner with Lao Lu, what will you do? ”

The old man said: "Oh, stinky boy, let me tell you, if this pagoda is stolen by me and Lao Lu, the two of us will not care about anything in the first twelve floors of it, but go directly to the thirteenth floor, take the living dead jade and leave." ”

I couldn't believe it, "Really? ”

The old man snorted coldly: "Your current way of robbing tombs is like taking stairs, going down from the inside layer by layer, and if I rob with Lao Lu, with Lao Lu's ability, he can directly open a robbery hole to the bottom of the tower from the periphery, this way of robbing tombs is like a direct elevator, I say this, you should understand, right?" ”

It dawned on me, "That's right! Then why don't you ...... in the first place"

The old man sighed: "This technique is easy to say, it is difficult to do, whether it is you, me, or the Institute of Unsolved Mysteries, no one can dig this fine thief hole, the periphery of the pagoda I have checked with a probe, all layers of "rammed earth", each layer of rammed earth has reached an unprecedented 75 cm. You know the rammed earth, right? That thing is harder than the guy in the crotch of my old man's pants, it has to be broken with rice vinegar and diamond diamonds, and the slightest crack will collapse the whole thing, this kind of craftsmanship except for Lao Lu, no one else can do it at all. ”

The old man leaned against the wall tiredly, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked at the ceiling blankly, as if he recalled the bits and pieces of the time with Lao Lu. I didn't disturb him, just sat and smoked silently. After a long time, he seemed to remember something, so he said to me with a smile: "What I said just now was just a big game between the two of us, and it didn't mean to belittle the Institute of Unsolved Mysteries. Speaking of which, these people are studying unsolved mysteries, not professional tomb robbers, and it is good to be able to do this. You just called the "Lou family monkey", and he had to be stunned when he saw this strange tomb. ”

I asked the old man, "Who is the Lou monkey?" ”

The old man said, "He is also a strange man in the tomb robbery business." ”

I asked, "Who is better between you and him?" ”

The old man said: "The Lou monkey is as famous as Lao Lu, Lao Lu said that I am better than him, then I am naturally better than the Lou monkey, have you ever been to school?" That's not even a good account! ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You blow you!" ”

The old man snorted coldly: "Maybe there will be a chance to fight in the future, won't you know when the time comes." ”

I swallowed the old man's fog, and obviously said that I would only smoke two puffs, but the two of us smoked three cigarettes in a row, and now I finally felt comfortable. While the two of us were resting against the corner, there was a word of Kan Dashan on the other.

The old man said to me earnestly: "If you want to find the living dead jade, you must have someone to help you, among this group, the one named Gu Nianxia is the most reliable, and it will be of great use to you in the future, don't look at his cold personality, in fact, this child is the most simple in their center." The other one is named Feng Erbiao, you can only use it for a small time in the future, not a big one. As for Zhou Boren and that Lao Yang, you have to be careful, these two people are not simple, you don't want to be sold in the end and help the people pay for it, understand. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, why do I feel that your words sound like the master's last words to his apprentice?" ”

The old man said: "You are Lao Lu's apprentice, which is equivalent to my apprentice, and I am naturally obliged to teach you." The search for the living dead jade is not something that can be done overnight, you and Pudding have relied on shit luck until now, if one day you need to rely on real skills, what should you do. ”

I said, "Isn't this still you in charge, what are you afraid of?" ”

The old man shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Silly boy, how old am I, how many years can I live?" The road ahead is still up to you......"

I was about to continue chatting with the old man, but at this moment, Uncle Yang shouted at us: "Old man, third man, come here, the big copper lock has been opened!" ”

The old man patted me on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Let's go, we'll talk next time." ”

He stood up lazily and walked towards the closed door, sighing leisurely as he walked:

"The old people withered one after another, like fallen leaves in the wind......"
