Chapter 40: Midsummer White Deer Plain (2)
"Anna, listen to me."
"Let me explain it to you! These tomb robbers are all soldiers under your command who pretend to be bandits, but they still use military weapons. You burned down the Beibi Mountain Tomb Robbery School and kidnapped Xiaomu, so you can go deep into the Tang Dynasty tomb in Bailuyuan. Only then, in the name of chasing down the tomb robbers, can you enter the tomb with a proper name. Pity these soldiers, they killed people and set fire to rob your graves for you, but you unloaded and killed donkeys, and all of them were killed here, leaving only Xiaomu alive. ”
Speaking of which, Anna put on the spirit of a dead fish, Xiao Mu hid behind her, glared at Qi Yuanshan and said, "Is this true?" Did you burn the Tomb Robbery School? Did you kill the ama? ”
Qi Yuanshan was silent for a long time, and raised his gun to Ouyang Anna and Xiao Mu: "I'm sorry, I have no choice." In a few days, the army will go out to fight the war, and this is my last chance. ”
Needless to say, the soldiers rushed up and tied up Anna and Kogi Wuhua again.
Qi Yuanshan didn't dare to look at Ouyang Anna's eyes anymore, since the day Anna went to look for Qin Beiyang nine years ago, the two of them had become strangers.
In a few moments, the door of the tomb of the underground palace opened.
Qi Yuanshan took a deep breath and ordered someone to throw a few live chickens into it, and then he heard the sound of chickens. Several bold young soldiers entered with horse lanterns. Under the reflection of the golden murals, the huge underground palace stunned everyone, and it seemed that the ghosts of the Tang Dynasty were floating in every inch of the air. When the dust settled and the smell of decay receded, Qi Yuanshan looked in by the light, only to see a huge Ming Dynasty coffin lying on the coffin bed in the center of the underground palace.
Ming Dynasty coffin.
Qi Yuanshan saw it clearly, he also followed Qin Beiyang to the ancient tombs, these years to pay attention to tomb robbery and archaeological excavations in various places, and personally caught tomb robbers, he is quite familiar with the ancient tombs of various ages, and was surprised to find how the coffin of the Ming Dynasty appeared in the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty?
What made Qi Yuanshan gasp even more was that there was a cat entrenched in this Ming Dynasty coffin.
The black cat, with its elongated body like a snake, stared at the group of uninvited guests with a faint gaze.
Qi Yuanshan recognized this cat, it used to live in his house, accompanied his daughter Jiuse for more than ten years, and came from the tomb of Princess Yongtai on the side of the Qianling Tomb.
This cat is at least 1,200 years old, and it is entrenched in the underground palace of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty 1,200 years ago, without any sense of disobedience.
The jet-black snake cat bared its teeth at Qi Yuanshan and let out a piercing warning sound. It recognized the intruder. Since it accompanied Xiao Jiuse, he has never given Qi Yuanshan a good face. Every time Qi Yuanshan hugged Xiao Jiuse, he felt a chill down his spine when he saw the fierce gaze of this snake cat.
Qi Yuanshan raised his hand and gave the snake cat a shot.
He was a sharpshooter who missed a shot when he was studying in Japan. The snake cat had a premonition and jumped to the dome of the underground palace in advance. The soldiers opened fire on their heads, bullets crashing through the dungeon, and fragments of frescoes continued to fall, as if the stars on the dome were falling......
"Stop!"
Qi Yuanshan gave an order, the gunfire stopped, this group of soldiers were all elites who had followed him for many years, well-trained, and regarded death as home.
He looked up at the dome of the underground palace and found that the snake cat was gone.
The soldiers searched all corners of the dungeon with bayonets, and there was no trace of any cat or human except for the broken altars, jars and antiquities.
This cat is like a soul, appearing in the tomb of Princess Yongtai for no reason, and disappearing above the dome of the underground palace of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty for no reason.
Qi Yuanshan couldn't care about it, took a step forward, circled around the coffin of the Ming Dynasty twice, stretched out his nose and sniffed, and then slapped the coffin board with his palm, and suddenly ordered: "Open the coffin!" ”
The coffin opened.
The bayonets of more than a dozen soldiers pried open the coffin of the Ming Dynasty in the tomb of the Tang Dynasty. A puff of smoke billowed, as if the spirits in the surrounding murals had returned. They carefully removed the lid of the coffin, and a bright horse lamp hung directly above it.
Qi Yuanshan poked his head into the coffin and saw the man lying in it.
It was a naked man, with long shawl hair half black and half white, and his face was about thirty-five years old, with gray beard on his cheeks, but his skin was as white as if it had been frozen.
Qi Yuanshan will never forget this face for the rest of his life, just like he first met in the wolves of Taihang Mountain twenty years ago. At that time, they were both half-grown children, and now they have gone away for half their lives, and although they have returned with dusty faces and frosty sideburns, they are also children who don't know each other.
"North...... Foreign ......"
He softly called out the name of the man lying in the coffin.
Qin Beiyang, such as a fake. His body and limbs are intact. Except for the head and face, every skin on the body is covered with tattoos with strange patterns. Qi Yuanshan carefully looked at Qin Beiyang's naked body, except for the Hetian warm blood jade hanging with red silk thread on his chest, he was naked. The muscles bulging out of the chest resemble statues of ancient Greece, Rome or the Renaissance. Qin Beiyang in his memory was originally tall, with a height of more than 1.8 meters, but now every part of his body has become larger, even including the man's lower body. After a rough visual inspection, Qin Beiyang had developed to more than one meter nine for the second time in the coffin.
Qi Yuanshan clearly remembers that five years ago, the "128 Incident", the ink of Lujiazui in Pudong, Shanghai, turned into a sea of fire, and Qin Beiyang was hit by the last bomb fragment dropped by a Japanese bomber, from the shoulder to the ribs to the thigh bone and toe part, the bones were almost all broken. His hands and feet were amputated, and at the same time, he was a high paraplegic, not to mention movement in this life, and even turning his neck was extremely difficult.
How did Qin Beiyang's pair of arms and two long legs grow out of his broken torso? Qi Yuanshan felt terrible when he thought about it, he held his breath, was silent, and slowly stretched out his hand and touched Qin Beiyang's chest.
It was cold and cold, Qi Yuanshan seemed to touch a dead person—what was lying in the coffin if it wasn't a dead person?
His heart contracted suddenly, his fingers were rolled by electricity, and every hair of Qi Yuanshan stood up. The touch just now not only felt cold, but also hard. Qin Beiyang's chest was not the tightness of male muscles, let alone the stiffness of a corpse after death, but bone-like, stone-like, and even steel-like hardness.
Only then did Qi Yuanshan understand that the substance that replaced Qin Beiyang's limbs and wrapped his whole body was no longer flesh and blood, but a body of steel.
It's like a grave beast.
