Chapter 36 Luoyang relatives and friends ask each other
The cold rain and the river entered Wu at night, and Pingming sent the guests to Chushan Lonely.
Luoyang relatives and friends asked each other, and a piece of ice was in the jade pot.
1,200 years ago, Wang Changling looked at Wu Yue in front of him and Chutian in the back, but he was still worried about Luoyang.
1,200 years later, Ouyang Anna set out from outside the city of Gusu to transport the coffins of the Ming Dynasty in Beiyang, and boarded a wooden sailing boat at Fengqiao Gudu, heading west along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Qin Beiyang is also the target of the Craftsman Alliance. In order to hide people's eyes, they pretended to be a procession to return to their hometowns for burial. Anna is like a little widow wearing a linen white robe, and her daughter Jiuse is also a filial piety. After all, she was a twelve-year-old girl, happily sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the autumn scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. The snake cat with black fur has always been entrenched beside Jiuse, as if it is on its way home.
When he arrived in Zhenjiang, it was also the place where Wang Changling wrote "Furong Lou Sends Xin Gradually", and the wooden sailboat turned into the Yangtze River from the canal. Ouyang Anna and her daughter escorted Qin Beiyang in the coffin upstream. After the three towns of Wuhan, the two mountains of turtles and snakes, and the Han River. When they arrived in Xiangyang, the coffin was unloaded from the boat, loaded into an ox cart, ran over the muddy autumn rain earth, passed through the boundary of Nanyang and Funiu Mountain, and staggered north to Luoyang.
The coffin arrived at the grave robbery village.
After a few years of absence, the tomb robbery village has been transformed into a new look, and a number of sturdy mansions have been built. The village is heavily guarded, and Anna says that she is coming to visit the big leader of the tomb robbing village, Xiaomu. Villagers say that Xiaomu and the ama have moved to Beibi Mountain, north of Luoyang City.
Anna and Jiuse drove the ox cart, passed through Yishui and Luoshui, bypassed the northwest of Luoyang City, and saw the Beibi Mountain full of imperial tombs in the distance. This mountain is not tall, and Tongshan is a sense of decay, but it is a feng shui treasure suitable for a yin house from the era of "Nineteen Ancient Poems", where twenty-four imperial tombs from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Five Dynasties are buried, which is more dense than any mountain in China.
The ox cart stopped on the mountainside in the north, under a Western-style three-story building. A plaque is hung at the gate, with four quaint and desolate Han Li characters written on it - "Tomb Robbery School".
Ouyang Anna saw the ama. In fact, she is only two or three years older than her, but because of the hard life of the tomb robbery village and the wind and sand grinding people in the north, the sea lady looks much older, and she is no longer the beauty that haunted the waves of the East China Sea back then. Anna and the ama stood together, like a girl and a mother.
But it's not Anna who is really ageless, but the husband of the ama - Xiaomu.
Xiao Mu was wearing a scholar's robe, but that face shocked Anna. As if time was frozen, staying in the autumn night fifteen years ago, the little thief I saw for the first time in Damo Mountain, Hongkou, Shanghai, with a twenty-year-old face, white and smooth skin, without any changes, even the corners of the eyes and neck.
It's like he's taking the elixir of life.
Five years ago, Ouyang Anna became suspicious when she saw Xiao Mu: a tomb robber, the king of Tufuzi, who comes and goes in the wind and rain, and digs graves with his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers, he must be more laborious than ordinary people. Why is he eternally young, he knows the art of rejuvenating his face better than the concubines in the Qing Palace. After five years, Xiaomu is still the same, and he is definitely a "demon".
What has changed in Xiaomu? That is his eyes, no longer submissive, eyeballs dripping, but much calmer, more like an ordinary country farmer or craftsman.
Ouyang Anna remembered that many years ago in Nara, Japan, Yoshino Kofun discovered Xu Fu Underground Palace. Although she didn't witness it with her own eyes, she had heard Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan talk about it - Xiao Mu pried open the coffin of the Qin Dynasty, killed Xu Fu, who survived more than 2,000 years ago, and obtained the elixir of immortality.
If Xu Fu lived for more than 2,000 years, wasn't it an illusion of Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan? And if the elixir of life is real? If......
Ouyang Anna glanced at the youthful and invincible Xiaomu again, and then looked back at the coffin on the ox cart, hiding Qin Beiyang like a living dead.
She knew how to save Qin Beiyang.
Seeing Ouyang Anna and the twelve-year-old Nine Colors, Xiaomu and the ama were stunned. The two sons of the sea lady, Ouyang Zhulu and Ouyang Lianfan, have grown into teenagers. They are Ouyang Sicong's son, Anna's younger brother, and Jiuse's uncle.
Five years ago, Qin Beiyang and Anna came to the tomb robbery village and helped the ama rescue Xiaomu. The sea lady regarded Ouyang Anna as a benefactor, and she led Anna's mother and daughter to visit the "Tomb Robbery School". Each class is like a middle school in Shanghai and Beiping, and there are even two decent chemistry labs.
Over the years, Xiaomu has reduced the number of tomb robbers. He built this tomb robbery school in Beibi Mountain, where there is the largest concentration of ancient tombs in China. He broke the theory of the lineage of tomb robbing villages and opened the door to future generations from all over the country who were interested in tomb robbing, on the condition that they stay in the tomb robbery village after graduation. Kogi hired many teachers with a high salary, teaching ancient literature, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. He felt that in the past, tomb robberies often caused great damage to tombs and treasures, and even used explosives in this barbaric way. If scientific means are used, the danger and casualties in the process of tomb robbery can be reduced, and the second is to protect the integrity of the treasures in the tomb as much as possible, so that they can be sold at a better price in the future. There is also a man-made ancient tomb under the tomb robbery school, which imitates the shape characteristics of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Two Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Two Song Dynasties, the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty to dig seven underground palaces to train the students how to dig the tomb, how to open the door of the tomb, and how to avoid possible dangers.
But the only thing that has no solution is the Tomb Beast - if you encounter a Tomb Beast during a tomb robbery, you can only resign yourself to fate.
In the past five years, Xiaomu's cadets have been full of peach and plums, and the Beibishan Tomb Robbery School has become the Whampoa Military Academy in China's tomb robbery industry, cultivating many famous tomb robbers in later generations, and even some early archaeologists.
That night, Ouyang Anna and her daughter stayed in the tomb robbery school.
The ox cart carrying the coffin of the Ming Dynasty was parked in the backyard of the school. Anna held the lantern in her hand and opened the lid of the coffin, revealing Qin Beiyang's face. After a long-distance trip of more than ten days, Qin Beiyang saw the starry sky on Beibi Mountain for the first time, and said in "Nineteen Ancient Poems": "Qingqing Tomb is on the cypress, Lei Lei is in the middle of the stream." In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler. ”
Next to Ouyang Anna's face, there was an extra young face. Qin Beiyang was a little puzzled and a little afraid, worried about whether the coffin would fall into the wrong hands? Like Ahai? For example, Zhongshan? Like what......
After a few seconds of hesitation, Qin Beiyang recognized this face—Xiao Mu.
For fifteen years, there has been no change in the log.
"Little ...... Wooden ......"
After not speaking for too long, Qin Beiyang's throat seemed to spew out a glass fireball like the nine-colored tomb beast of the town. Millet held out his left hand, revealing the burned finger.
Every time he saw Qin Beiyang, he scared Xiao Mu, as if he was going to put him in the ancient tomb again. But this time, seeing Qin Beiyang seriously injured, like a pile of broken bones, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, lying in the coffin, it made Xiao Mu's heart feel some pity.
"Beiyang, Anna has told me - she wants me to accompany you to Bailuyuan."
Before Xiao Mu could say the second half of the sentence, Qin Beiyang had already smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
"Well, I'll go with you. You've saved my life more than once. Xiao Mu said that, he stretched out his hand to Qin Beiyang's face and gently touched his lips, "You must live!" ”
Luoyang, Beibi Mountain, tomb robbery school. A brilliant Milky Way spread over the coffin. The west wind is strong.
