Black Gold Chapter 3 The moon is dark and the wind is high
After dinner, Eagle asked Xie Dong to take us around the nearest town. When we arrived at the place, he took Xie Dong away, and we took a taxi back to the village and secretly went to the back mountain.
The low mountain behind the village, the local people call it Fa Cai Ling, according to legend, during the Qianlong period, the emperor buried a lot of treasures on the mountain when he toured the east, and later the wanderers from all over the country heard the news and came to steal the treasure, dug out a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so they made a fortune, so this piece of mountain got the name "Fa Cai Ling".
In April and May, there is a large temperature difference between day and night in the northeast, and the temperature in the mountains is several degrees lower. We're on the windward slope again, and the wind is literally blowing us down the mountain.
The monster is still the same as before, and his words have not been interrupted along the way. After we got acquainted, he kept talking to me, and it almost annoyed people to death. Actually, yes, I am the only one in our group who can silently endure his polyglotism.
Since the eagle learned at the dinner table at noon, the people of the Cultural Relics Bureau that the scope of their investigation was actually behind the valley in front of the village, so they were not as anxious as before. On the contrary, Qiu Ying, after going up the mountain, changed his previous attitude and became domineering and vigilant.
When they went up the mountain in the afternoon, they hid their tools under a bluestone slab in a birch forest on the mountain. The youkai and I lifted the slate, and Galu was about to get the tools inside, when the youkai suddenly let go and shouted:
"Something bites me!"
I saw the bluestone slab at his end smashed on the ground, and a red-eyed fox with a white body was pressed under the slate. At this time, he was writhing and struggling in horror to escape.
The monster was furious and wanted to stomp the white fox to death. was blocked by Qiu Ying.
"What are you going to do! Did you offend the horse fairy?! Qiu Ying said and quickly lifted the stone slab and let the fox go.
"Thief, you just let it go?!" The youkai guards his injured airway.
Qiu Ying reproached the monster and said:
"There are many demons in the north, and there are many ghosts in the south. The fox yellow and white willow gray is the earth immortal on the northeast border, and we are now doing things on other people's land, of course, we must stay away. Provoke them, you can't resist this thing! ”
The white fox was crushed in the leg and limped to the point where he couldn't run fast. The monster was angry, and he chased over and picked up the fox:
"I have heard that a fox that grows up has a jewel in its body, and it binds its limbs and tempts it with a narrow-mouthed bottle full of freshly roasted meat, and the fox loves to eat roasted meat but can't eat it, and when it can't stand it, it spits out the precious orb, and then dies. You say that if I crush it, this beast will definitely have to take revenge on me, I might as well strike first, and kill it and get a treasure orb for nothing! ”
"Boy, I advise you to let it go, we're here to work today, you'd better prioritize." Qiu Ying's face was extremely dark, and his hoarse voice sounded particularly creepy at this time.
As soon as he finished speaking, Galu grabbed the monster's wrist and said expressionlessly, "Let the fox go." ”
"Mr. Ying, if your people do this, I'm afraid that no matter how much money you pay, I won't be able to help you." Qiu Ying said to the eagle.
Qiu Ying and Galu are not as attentive as the previous mustache group, and their attitude is very tough. Seeing the tension between the two sides, the eagle hurriedly played a round. Otherwise, with the temper of a monster, he will definitely fight with Galu, although he will definitely not be able to fight Galu of 1.9 meters alone, but who will let him have a brain tendon.
"Don't care if it's a fox fairy or not, we don't know like small animals." I said as I dragged them both away.
"Lao Tzu is still like it, who let it bite me!" The monster said confidently.
"Then why don't you bite it too, it's not a mouthful of fox fur, what are you fighting with a fox! What's the point, forget it, let it go......" With my persuasion, the youkai finally let go of the shivering hapless fox.
See the monster let go of the fox. Qiu Ying gave Galu a look, and the latter took out the three pillars of incense from his bag and handed it to him. Qiu Ying raised his eyebrows, bowed to each of the four directions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and said with words in his mouth: "Huangkou is ignorant, the third master is not strange, the third master is not strange." ”
After tossing the fox, we took our tools and walked out of the birch forest to the edge of the cliff on the mountain. Qiu Ying stood in front of a large bare dirt bag. Galu took out the four pillars of incense from his bag and handed it to him. Qiu Ying took the incense, and bowed three times in the same posture as worshipping the earth fairy just now, and repeatedly chanted in his mouth: "The old man is not strange, because he is desperate, he temporarily borrows you to be rich and noble, and makes merit with you." ”
With that, he took the yellow paper that Galu had prepared in advance and burned it in front of the earthen bag. The wind on the mountain was whistling, blowing the burning yellow paper all over the sky, indescribably weird.
It's probably a simple requiem ritual, but in my opinion, it's just a psychological comfort for the tomb robbers. However, because Qiu Ying and Mao Xiaofang are too similar, he walks this god-like chattering process, he really looks like a Maoshan Taoist priest, and I always feel that his words and deeds are like the plot of a movie when I look at the picture in front of me.
The people buried in this dirt bag won't turn into zombies, right? I was thinking nonsense.
After the ceremony, Qiu Ying said:
"After you go down, all of you must obey my commands."
"Why listen to you!" As soon as Qiu Ying's words fell, the monster tilted his head in disbelief.
"You spent a lot of money to invite me here, and you didn't listen to my command to go down and prank down, what's the difference between you going down and spoofing yourself? There are rules for sand mining, and since I'm here, I can't let you spoof. Qiu Ying said slowly in a tone that could not be denied.
"Cut-" The youkai cut disdainfully.
"I know that some of you are not convinced by me, but you have to remember that we are going up to the mountains to work, don't really treat this trip as a tour, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can say it, I will not change it anyway." Qiu Ying said.
"What the fuck are you doing saying it!" The youkai yelled.
"Holding it hurts your body."
At this time, it was more than ten o'clock in the night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the cold wind was gusting. I, who was sneaking around a grave robbery on a low hill in the northeast, was an incredible thing, and I had the uneasiness of breaking the law and the thrill of adventure in my heart, and these two extreme feelings collided in my body, and finally the excitement and excitement prevailed, and the guilt was completely left behind!
Because the explosives were so moving, we had to dig holes in the edge of the cliff. In addition to the eagles have joined the digging. The eagle could not withstand the repetition of the grave due to the old injury from the previous one, so he stayed on the ground to let the wind go.
"Can we dig like this? Will this place be dug up for us? Before the start of construction, the youkai questioned.
Qiu Ying glared at him, as if thinking of something, and said:
"After going down, you are not allowed to call each other by your real name, when you need to call someone, you will replace it with a serial number, I am the boss, Galu is the second, the monster is the third, Xiaoye is the fourth, and Xiaoning is the elder. Do you understand? ”
The speed of the manual hole is very slow, Galu is at the front to find the way, this man is definitely a good digger, he first makes a small hole in the ground, and then "inserts" himself in the soil layer to bring out the dirt inside. Fanzi and the monsters widened the passage behind him, and I was in charge of lifting the soil, and Qiu Ying followed behind us. Don't look at Garu's tall stature, he's as nimble as a mouse underground, and we can't dig him up together.
The youkai quickly put the displeasure of the fox bite behind him and hummed "Tunnel War". This person is like this, he comes and goes quickly. The hard work was not only tiring but also very boring, and the monster quickly gave up his "Tunnel Warfare" single cycle and chatted with me again. Qiu Ying's numerical nickname for us inspired him, so he secretly nicknamed Qiu Ying a nickname, called Male Duck Voice. is not only Qiu Ying, but he also thought of a nickname for the mortal son who thinks he loves to pretend to be forced and ignores him, Brother Da. Then he thought for a while, and just when I thought he was thinking of a nickname for Galu, this kid asked me very seriously, how about calling me Brother Er. I quickly rejected his "kindness" and told him that the name was too awesome for me to bear.
After chatting for a while, the monster said, then call you Yezi. I thought to myself, as long as you don't call me anything, you can call me anything.
Four people worked, and after an hour, we had already made a one-meter-five-square, more than five-meter-deep hole in the big dirt bag.
The space in the cave is narrow, the air is turbid, and I am a little physically exhausted when I am carrying soil for a long time, my eyes are dark, and my feet are soft and I almost kneel on the ground. Fanzi immediately supported me and whispered, "Take a deep breath." ”
I exhaled a long breath, and when I inhaled again, I felt like I was still inhaling a lot of sand.
"After all, it's a college student, so I can't do this hard work!" The youkai gloated.
After another hour, even the monster was tired, he wiped his sweat and said to Qiu Ying:
"Master Qiu, are you sure the tomb is here, we have been digging here for two hours, and if we continue like this, it will be dawn!"
Qiu Ying buckled the clods of soil on the cave wall, observed and said:
"Another half an hour."
"Okay, then dig for another half an hour, if there is still nothing, let's go home!" The monster nodded, looking like he was about to go back, and muttered in a low voice: "You said half an hour, half an hour, you think you are a half-immortal!" ”
After about twenty minutes, Galu poked his head out of the hole inside, and he frowned and said:
"Brother, the situation is not good."
"Did you touch it?" Qiu Ying asked with concern.
"If you touch it, it's not easy to enter."
Galu told us that he felt the broken bricks of the tomb stirring in the soil, which means that the tomb tunnel had collapsed. This situation is both dangerous and tricky for us, because the collapsed tomb is not conducive to further excavation, and second, there is a danger of a second collapse in this area.
"I'm right! I'll just say, this place is prone to collapse. The youkai complained.
"Shut up." Qiu Ying glared at the monster.
I think Qiu Ying at this time probably has the heart to strangle the monster. This kid is really - the best crow's mouth + which pot is not opened.
The tomb was in front of him, and it had reached this point, Qiu Ying and Galu discussed it and decided to continue digging inside.
When I was cleaning the bricks, I dug up a lot of broken pottery shards from the bricks, and there were some crooked patterns on them. I saw that it was not of much value, so I took the pottery shards and the broken tomb bricks to the side of the tunnel.
We pushed two meters further and finally entered the uncollapsed burial tunnel. This is an extremely simple and short tunnel, only about five or six meters away, the tomb is very narrow, and there are some Qing Dynasty bottles and cans on both sides of the ground.
At the end of the tomb is the main door to the burial chamber, which is made of two very modest stone slabs, but very thick and sturdy.
"This is what you're looking for." Qiu Ying pointed to the stone gate and said in a low voice.
"Master Qiu, I'll obey you for this, such a big mountain, how are you sure this tomb is here?" The monster said curiously.
"Where we are now, the left and right two sand are encircling, the left is the green dragon, the right is the white tiger, the dragon sand is longer than the tiger sand, this tomb is backed by the main mountain and the dragon sand crime mountain, this pattern is called 'green dragon crime', it is the most auspicious feng shui treasure land in this mountain. In this area of the main mountain, only this small area has sparse grass and trees, and the main reason is that when the tomb owner was buried, the natural soil above the tomb was excavated and backfilled, and the vegetation was destroyed. So, finding this tomb is not a difficult task. Qiu Ying said the truth, and it can be seen that he, the descendant of the "Thirteen Uniques", does have two brushes.
When they crowded at the door to study how to break in, I looked at the bottles and cans on both sides of the tomb road, and felt a little disappointed, these are not valuable things, plus the simple tomb door can not be simpler, the burial goods in the main tomb can be imagined will definitely not be too valuable. I don't understand, why did they dig such a "poor tomb"?
I was wandering when the mortal man quietly walked up to me and said to me hurriedly:
"Come with me, we need to get out of here."
I let out an "ahhh
"I don't have time to explain to you now, I'll tell you why when I go out!"
Fanzi said, dragging me hard to the outside.
I suddenly felt inexplicable, even if I had to leave, I had to tell the others! Just when I looked back, I was surprised to find that Ning Fanzi happened to be standing with Qiu Ying studying Shimen.
Who is it that is holding me?
How could there be two Ning Fanzi?!
"You are not Ning Fanzi, who are you!" I struggled to shake off his hand.
The man didn't answer, but his grip on my arm kept growing.
"Who the hell are you!" I raised my voice and shone my flashlight at him, feeling a very bad feeling in the bottom of my heart.
"It's me."
The man said with a smile, and suddenly turned his head to my face—
His face was the color of a dead man, and I searched for a few seconds before I realized that he had no facial features on his face.
