Chapter 40: Proverbs
Cixi's mausoleum is in a dense forest in the mountains behind Gantian Town, at this time the woods have long been cut down, revealing the bare yellow earth, the ground is vertical and horizontal, pitted, more than 100 strong men wielding hoes to dig up the soil, dry in full swing, soldiers are standing on it with guns as overseers.
"You guys, go dig over there."
Adjutant Xu motioned to his subordinates to bring a hoe, threw it in front of the three of Shachen, and pointed to a place that had not been dug up, Shachen, Ma Xiaohai, and Yu Dachu didn't say a word, picked up the hoe and worked obediently.
"Commander!"
At this time, Commander Chen walked over with the map, heard Adjutant Xu's greeting, nodded absentmindedly, and then continued to look at the map attentively.
Just about to see the real thing, Commander Chen suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, revealing the killing intent, a domineering momentum struck him, the sand and dust breath stagnated, and the mana in his body seemed to be stagnant for a moment, as if he was suppressed by some kind of force, and it seemed that Commander Chen in front of him was a flood beast.
"This momentum ......"
"Look at what you see, hurry up and get to work." Commander Chen glared at Shachen fiercely, and walked away, leaving only Shachen full of shock, he is a cultivator who cultivates qi threefold, he will be oppressed by the momentum of an ordinary person, what is the momentum on this Commander Chen?
Vaguely, Shachen understood why Mao Xiaofang asked him to dig the grave.
Ordinary people, not ordinary!
"Senior brother, don't you think this Commander Chen is strange?" Shachen asked Ma Xiaohai in a low voice while digging the soil, he could feel the momentum of Commander Chen, and Ma Xiaohai should also be able to feel it.
Ma Xiaohai didn't understand what Shachen meant, nodded and said, "It's quite strange." ”
Gotta play the piano to the cow!
Ma Xiaohai didn't feel it, let alone Yu Dachu, who cultivated to a lower level, Shachen buried his doubts in his heart, buried his head in hard work, and suddenly, a gust of incense blew through.
There was a person wearing a coarse cloth shirt and a straw hat, dressed as a farmer's family, carrying hot tea and walking towards Commander Chen, Shachen looked at her back, revealing a thoughtful look, "Woman? ”
"Commander, drink tea!"
The peasant woman is the thief Black Rose, the Black Rose was a rampant thief in the five provinces, stole many dignitaries, was wanted by the Beiyang government, and accidentally heard the news, saying that there was a big deal in Gantian Town, and the thief had an attack, and his heart was itching, so he decided to go to Gantian Town to find out the truth.
This black rose is not bad-hearted, quite chivalrous, stealing property, giving more to the poor people, leaving nothing for herself, outsiders know that she is a famous thief all over the world, but they don't know that she almost starved to death without money to eat, adopted shrimp since childhood, regarded as his own, and has not yet married in his thirties, this bodhisattva's heart is commendable.
There is also an interesting thing about Black Rose, once, she stole a foreigner's wallet, the foreigner chased after her, and finally chased into the Old Summer Palace, the foreigner took a fancy to the treasures in the Old Summer Palace, so there was a historical event that the Eight-Nation Alliance ransacked the Old Summer Palace and burned the Old Summer Palace......
The Chinese treasure was burned, and the main responsible person is the black rose!
Less gossip.
After drinking the tea, Commander Chen returned the teacup to Black Rose, Black Rose didn't leave, probed his brain to look at the map, Commander Chen noticed the strangeness of this peasant woman, and reprimanded: "After drinking the tea, why don't you leave?" ”
"Commander, you have worked hard, it's a hot day, drink a few more glasses." Black Rose persuaded enthusiastically.
"Neurotic!"
After speaking, Commander Chen changed places again and continued to ponder the map, Black Rose looked at his back, cursed non-stop, and said in a low voice: "That map must be a treasure map, hum, dig it, you praying mantis catching cicadas, my black rose and yellow finch are behind, and the treasure is mine." ”
"Black Rose!"
Shachen not far away was stunned, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, if he remembered correctly, Black Rose was the heroine in Zombie Dao Chang 2, and she had an ambiguous relationship with Mao Xiaofang, but in the end it didn't seem to be together, "Tsk, the master is in his forties, and there is peach blossom luck, amazing!" ”
Speaking of black roses, they are also very standard, different from Ren Tingting's simple youth, black roses are mature and plump, not like ordinary women, but seem to be from a famous family, naturally revealing a graceful and luxurious bearing, but it's a pity, a beautiful woman, but a thief, blind and good.
"Master is also a blessed man!"
"What are you muttering, hurry up and get to work." The soldier acting as an overseer shouted with a gun pointed at the dust.
"Help!"
"It's ternary."
A scream came, Shachen's complexion changed slightly, he threw away his hoe and rushed to another trench, only to see Zhou Zhouyuan hiding in the trench, trembling against the earthen wall, and an arm that had turned into white bones appeared at his feet.
Wednesday Yuan cried and said, "What kind of place is this, it is terrible to dig out a ghost hand and so many white bones." ”
"Huh!"
"Come and see, there's a stone tablet here."
"What? Stele! ”
"Get out of the way." Commander Chen pushed away the onlookers, jumped down the trench, picked up the dirt with his hands, and sure enough, he saw a stone tablet with the words 'Dutong Suo Etu' written on it, and immediately smiled, exclaiming: "God help me, God help me, I finally found Cixi's tomb, haha." ”
"Dig, dig quickly."
It turned out that Commander Chen was happy too early, and what he dug up on Wednesday was only the tomb of General Huling, and looking at the structure of his tomb, it was obviously destroyed, in other words, the tomb of General Huling was stolen, and Commander Chen found an empty tomb, and the tomb of Cixi is still missing.
After a hard day's work, Commander Chen left a few soldiers to guard the place, and hurriedly returned to the hotel with a treasure map to study the proverbs.
"It's weird!"
"There are so many white bones buried in the ground, and the yin qi is so heavy, it's very evil."
Shachen, Ma Xiaohai, and Yu Dachu washed their hands and faces with hot water soaked in peach leaves, this is to get rid of evil spirits and avoid the corpses and souls from looking for trouble, after listening to Ma Xiaohai, Yu Dachu said with some excitement: "Master, don't you know, there are not only white bones in that place, but also a tombstone." ”
"Oh, someone's tombstone?" Mao Xiaofang asked.
"It seems to be the ...... of the Qing Dynasty"
"The Qing Dynasty is unified!" Mao Xiaofang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said intently: "This tomb is definitely not simple, I hope nothing happens." ”
It's no wonder if nothing happens!
Knowing the general direction of the plot, Shachen shook his head secretly, from the appearance of the army and the excavation of the ancient tomb, the disaster of Gantian Town could not be avoided, in the dark, there is its own providence, Cixi will see the light of day again, as if fate is at the mercy of the world, playing with the world, even if the sand and dust is an outlier, it cannot control the inertia of the plot.
Now that the tomb of Cixi has not yet been found, it is unnecessary to worry, Shachen picked up a towel to wipe off the water stains, and was ready to ask the confusion in his heart, "Master......"
"You want to ask me why I didn't do it during the day?"
