Chapter 32: The Night Robbery Town Tomb Beast (1)
Night Shanghai.
A sea of lights gathers along the Huangpu River, and drunk buyers are like a large school of spawning fish, chased by the warblers in the streets, frolicking with them. Some people have crazy dreams, some people jump from the top of a building after their dreams are broken, and some people are thrown into the Huangpu River in sacks......
Kogi has been dreaming.
He dreamed of the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty tomb in Bailuyuan, and dreamed that he got into the huge catalpa coffin and lay on the little prince who was still sleeping. The beautiful boy with a golden face gave birth to wings on his back, flew out of the coffin and underground palace that had been closed for 1,200 years, and soared over Chang'an City and Zhongnan Mountain in the era of Wu Zetian......
More than a month ago, the rout of the Beiyang warlords dug up the grave. Xiaomu, who was born in a family of tomb robbers, was forced to take the lead in digging the underground palace, and as a result, he encountered the tomb beast. One of his fingers was burned off by a glass fireball. Machine guns subdued the Tomb Beasts, and the warlords ransacked the dungeon. The next day, they were ambushed and wiped out, like the curse of the Tang Dynasty tomb. The tomb beast of the town and the coffin of the prince were loaded on two carts, one south and one north, and they went their separate ways.
Xiaomu doesn't know which one to go with? Eventually, he chose to go south.
Out of Shangzhou, go to the mouth of the old river into the Han River, take a boat through Xiangyang to Hankou. Xiao Mu followed all the way, and it was only then that he realized that he had made the wrong choice, and that the big car was not the coffin of the little prince, but the bullet-riddled tomb beast of the town. There was a wealthy merchant who bought the treasure with a generous amount and quickly transported it back to Shanghai by steamer.
At this point, the wood was completed, and Xiaomu had no choice but to buy a ticket and go down the river together. Say goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower, pass through the mouth of Poyang Lake in Jiujiang, look at the Anqing Zhenfeng Pagoda in the distance, pass between Xiaguan and Pukou in Nanjing, and pass by the ferries of Qin Beiyang and Qiyuan Mountain, until the mouth of the Yangtze River with vast waters enters the Huangpu River......
He came to this deep mansion compound in Hongkou - Dharma Mountain on the sea.
Xiao Mu was on the roof across the street, and after several days of peeping, he confirmed that the private museum on the second floor hid the tomb beast of the Tang Dynasty tomb in Bailuyuan. He decided to steal the treasure. He knew that it was difficult to ascend to the sky, but he had the courage to steal even a thousand-year-old tomb, so how could a few living people help him?
At that time, Shanghai Tang was divided into the Public Concession, the French Concession, and the Chinese Concession, and there were the forces of the Beiyang warlords, the Southern Revolutionary Party, the Youth Gang, and the Hongmen, and the tentacles of the Japanese gradually penetrated. It is a paradise for adventurers and a hell for the poor. Law and order here is particularly bad, with robberies, kidnappings, and murders in broad daylight.
Xiaomu wandered around Huajie North Station, met a group of heroes in troubled times, and chose three big men. They are all Xiaomu's fellow villagers, who have eaten the salary of the Beiyang Army and killed people on the battlefield. When he heard that there were treasures that could be stolen and that selling them to foreigners could make a windfall, he was eager to try it.
In fact, his plan was to steal the town tomb beast first, and then use the trick to get rid of the three bastards, so that he could naturally swallow this treasure alone. But unless he has to, he won't sell the Tomb Beast easily. He wanted to use it to retrieve the coffin of the little prince.
Because, Xiao Mu knows a secret that has been passed down in the Tufuzi family for several generations - about Wu Zetian's Qianling.
More important is the dream, which persistently invaded his night, like an irresistible command.
The golden opportunity has come, Ouyang Sicong, the owner of Dharma Mountain on the sea, took the driver and bodyguards to Hangzhou tonight. In the huge house, there is only one porter, an old mother who cooks, a maid, and a daughter on summer vacation. There was a new young craftsman, who had never seen his face clearly, and lived in the attic on the third floor.
Midnight, Xiaomu and other four robbers drove a truck to the gate. They had stolen the trucks first, and one of them had driven them for the warlord. Climb over the wall and enter the mansion, throw out a poisonous meat bun, and poison the wolf dog who cares for the house. When the porter heard a strange sound, he was immediately subdued by four people, tied up with five flowers, and stuffed rags in his mouth.
The four of them climbed upstairs, cut the copper lock with large iron tongs, and rushed into the hall full of treasures. Not daring to turn on the lights, they used flashlights to illuminate, dazzled, and didn't know where to start.
"Mom, it's time to send it! Brothers, either break all the glass, how about we serve it in one pot? β
Xiao Mu hurriedly deceived them and said, "Don't be confused! These are fakes β understand? It's an impostor, worthless! If you sell it to a foreigner and sell it, you will be arrested as a scammer. The only valuable treasure in this room is it! β
Everyone followed Xiao Mu's fingers and stared at the young Qilin Town Tomb Beast in the glass cabinet.
"This ...... Damn...... Is this a cow or a horse? β
"Monster! Like a lion? Or a tiger? Lion and tiger hybrids? Like a mule born of a horse and a donkey? β
"You two idiots! Don't you see antlers? But the scales on its body are more like a dragon! β
The three robbers were completely intimidated by the young beast, like wolves who had no idea what to say in the face of their prey.
Xiao Mu slapped the back of their heads in turn: "Stupid skull!" Less nonsense, move quickly! β
They opened the glass case and brazenly moved the town tomb beast out. Xiao Mu felt that the beast was not very heavy, equivalent to the weight of an adult strong man. Obviously, the bronze shell was not solid, and like most bronzes, it was hollow, otherwise the four of them might not be able to move it.
Kogi was sure it wouldn't move anymore, and it wouldn't spew out glass fireballs that could burn people to ashes. He didn't tell his three companions that the severed finger of his left hand was due to the town's grave beast. He believed that once he left the dungeon, no matter how powerful the tomb beast was, it would turn into a pile of metal lumps.
As soon as he moved to the corridor on the second floor, Xiao Mu felt a ringing in his ears. At first, it was like a metal whistling, as if someone was talking in the sky, and the sound came from the sky, and in an instant, it seemed to come from the underground.
The voice was like a cry, a thousand turns, like green smoke curling in the dark night, soaring upward, penetrating two floors of the floor, and reaching the roof attic above the third floor.
Qin Beiyang hasn't slept yet. In the narrow attic, he lit a candle and read "Sou Shen Ji" by Jin Ren Ganbao at night......
Suddenly, the jade pendant on his chest seemed to be bleeding. Quickly took off his clothes and saw that Hetian Nuan Blood Jade was still the same, but it was slowly getting hotter.
He heard the voice again, coming from under the two floors, like the whimper of some small animal, like some ancient language......
Small Town Grave Beasts?
It is calling Qin Beiyang, using the most desperate distress signal, like crying and complaining, endlessly.
Qin Beiyang jumped out of the attic, climbed with a roll, and rushed to the second floor. The moonlight shone on the snow-white antlersβthe four robbers had moved the young Kirin Town Tomb Beast to the top of the staircase.
"Who?"
The seventeen-year-old boy shouted loudly, and immediately frightened the courage of the four thieves.
However, after all, it was a strong man who had killed people, and when they saw Qin Beiyang's stinky kid, they pulled out the knife in their trouser legs.
Qin Beiyang was not afraid, he picked up a mop as a weapon, practiced a set of marksmanship similar to Qi Yuanshan's practice, and instantly knocked down the weapon of the first person.
The boy danced the mop with a fierce fight, and instead forced the robbers into a corner.
However, his cheek was also grazed by a knife, and a small cut was made, and he was dripping with blood, and if he missed it by another two centimeters, he was afraid that he would have pierced his temple on the spot.
At the moment of life and death, a gunshot shook the Dharma Mountain on the sea.
The girl in a white nightdress, holding a revolver, smoke from the muzzle of the gun, fired a warning shot at the ceiling.
There were five bullets left in the revolver, enough to kill four robbers.
