Chapter 2: The Winter of the Bird (2)
Gu Shou Bird screamed and fell into the stone coffin, and fell next to the wooden coffin of the tomb owner, dying.
Suddenly, the child cried! A pair of small hands like pink lotus roots, grabbing Gu Bird, as if it was her biological mother.
Qin Beiyang had never held a child, and hurriedly coaxed her, looking down at the Gu Bird in the stone coffin.
Finally, she returned to her normal girlish appearance, maybe it was the true appearance of Yongtai Princess Li Xianhui before her death, she looked at Qin Beiyang sadly, looked at the face that looked like her cousin Li Longqi, and spit out a few words faintly-
"Fengtian Mountain is vast, the green pine Dai Baisen is traveling, the spring boudoir night platform is squirming, when will the thousand autumns be known?"
These are the last four sentences of Princess Yongtai's epitaph, which are almost a summary of the tragic life of the princess who died at the age of seventeen.
Then, Gu Huoniao closed his eyes and ended his life for 1,200 years as a loyal tomb beast.
Nine colors bowed their heads to her, and did not devour their heart spirit stones like they did with other tomb beasts, obviously having a sense of awe for Princess Yongtai.
Qin Beiyang sighed slightly, hugged the little baby and walked out, but saw her stretching out her hand and pointing at the sika deer.
I saw that there was a lot of forage in the corner of the dungeon, and there was even a pile of sand that covered the excrement of the deer. The doe has two bulging nipples on her chest and abdomen, and she must be breastfeeding. The bird is a tomb beast and cannot produce milk, so how can this baby survive in the ancient tomb? It's just eating the milk of this doe.
Gu Huoniao was thoughtful. She retrieved a lactating doe from the mountains and kept her in the back room of the dungeon, providing forage and other food so that her milk could feed the baby.
No wonder this child has a loud voice, a ruddy complexion, strength in his hands and feet, and a great vitality of vitality. It turned out that he grew up eating deer milk, just like a galloping deer!
Qin Beiyang remembered what his father said - Gengzi Nian, when he was just born in Bailuyuan, his mother died, and on the way back to Beijing, it was the milk of a ewe that fed him.
He looked at the town's grave beast Nine Colors and said, "It would be nice if her name was the same as yours!" ”
When the dust settled, farewell to Gu Huoniao, farewell to Princess Yongtai, Qin Beiyang took the baby girl and the sika deer out of the underground palace.
However, there is also the black cat, which always follows Qin Beiyang's feet, looking at the infant child, and I don't know why it is here? A simple analysis leads to three possibilities -
First, the black cat was caught by the bird from the wild and brought to the grave to accompany the little girl, so that she would not be lonely.
Second, the black cat followed the ancient thief hole and got into the underground palace by himself, but he didn't know how to get out? It's a coincidence that it's here.
Third, the black cat was originally the pet of Princess Yongtai of the Tang Dynasty, and it was buried in the underground palace as a funeral object for 1,200 years! If so, it looks like a cat mummy in ancient Egypt! As for why he lived again? Hell knows!
One thing is for sure, the black cat itself is a spiritual animal, which just matches the temperament of this Tang Dynasty tomb, Gu Yu bird and doe.
This cat, not ordinary.
Sure enough, the town's tomb beast Jiu Se hated this black cat and always wanted to spew out a glass fireball to burn it, but was stopped by Qin Beiyang.
They walked up the stairs along the grave road and left the bodies of the tomb robbers. In another thousand years, the archaeological team will come in and be as surprised as he found the bones of tomb robbers from the Song Dynasty.
In the end, Qin Beiyang took a few breaths of the Tang Dynasty tomb, which could help him survive for a few more days to deal with cancer cells.
Walk out of the cemetery and return to the snowy night of the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve. Before he could take a deep breath, he found that the grave was surrounded by torches, and hundreds of bright muzzles and bayonets were pointed at him.
What's the situation?
As soon as Jiuse was about to transform into a young Qilin Town Tomb Beast, he was stopped by Qin Beiyang. He carried a baby in his arms, and he must not hurt the innocent.
The besiegers were dressed in blue Beiyang Army uniforms, and horses neighed, presumably cavalry from the northwest. The soldiers scolded and scolded, thinking that they regarded Qin Beiyang as a tomb robber, and were about to shoot him to justice, when a loud voice sounded behind them: "Wait a minute!" ”
There was an officer with a major's epaulettes, who was only in his early twenties, and came with Qin Beiyang's sweaty horse. The ghost god was not obedient, and kept kicking, and the people around him got out of the way.
"This sweaty BMW is extraordinary, I don't think you're an ordinary tomb robber." The other party pointed to Qin Beiyang's eyes, narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you holding in your arms?" ”
"A baby girl." Qin Beiyang also twisted his thick eyebrows, and looked at the young major with the flickering torch, "Far Mountain? ”
"You ......"
Qi Yuanshan took off his military hat and carefully examined Qin Beiyang's face...... The last time they were separated was in the summer of 1919, when the Vikings were a lonely island in the Arctic ice sea, the mausoleum of the Vikings, had been separated by a full eighteen months!
In these eighteen months, both Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan have experienced great ups and downs in their lives. The appearance of the two has also undergone many changes, and they are no longer weak-crowned teenagers, but have entered the world of adults, such as Qi Yuanshan, who married a wife and "gave birth to children".
Last summer, he came to Shaanxi with his wife and children, and was ordered to prepare for the establishment of the Beiyang Government's War Department's liaison office in Shaanxi. Qi Yuanshan chose to garrison in Qianling, and determined that the mausoleums of Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian were enough to control the Guanzhong Plain in terms of terrain and feng shui, not to mention that they could also use the imperial qi of the Tang Dynasty. Who would have thought? On the first night of Qianling, in the seventh half of the lunar calendar, Ouyang Anna's daughter Jiuse was stolen by the Gu Yu Bird Monster and flew into the vast dark night of the Midyear Festival.
For five months, Qi Yuanshan and Anna have never given up looking for their daughter. The search expanded from the entire territory of Qianxian to five nearby counties, then the entire Guanzhong and Weihe River valleys, and finally the whole of Shaanxi. North to Yan'an Pagoda Mountain, outside the Yulin Great Wall, east to the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall, west to the Autumn Wind Wuzhang Plain, south to Hanzhong Dingjun Mountain, leaving their footprints everywhere to find their daughters.
Countless people persuaded them to give up, this child was stolen by Gu Yuniao, and nine times out of ten he has died. But Anna stubbornly believed that her daughter was still alive and somewhere near the Qianling Tomb, but she never thought that she would be in the ancient cemetery palace.
After all, Ouyang Anna had heard of the Gu Bird and knew about the Tomb Beast, but no one would associate the Tomb Beast with the Tomb Beast.
Qi Yuanshan did not give up, but stepped up the construction of barracks and fortifications, recruited nearby peasants to join the army, and built a northwest model regiment composed of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. He was a military genius and extremely efficient, and with the style he learned from the Japanese Army, he trained an iron-blooded strong soldier to defend the Qianling Tomb, spy on Xi'an, and search for missing children.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Qi Yuanshan and Anna were not in the mood for the New Year. The relationship between husband and wife is in vain, and the two usually sleep in separate rooms. Anna always kept the cradle bed in her room when her daughter disappeared, and firmly believed that Nine Colors would definitely return.
I received a report that night, and there were grave robbers in the vicinity. Although Qi Yuanshan was young, he was extremely strict in governing the army, and he immediately led his team out of the camp and patrolled the surroundings regardless of the Spring Festival. When I came to one of the burial tombs of Qianling, the tomb of Princess Yongtai, I found that there were two tomb robbers who had been knocked out in front of the tomb. The army stood guard outside the entrance to the tomb and waited for the tomb robbers to come out and hunt them out.
At this moment, Qi Yuanshan hugged Qin Beiyang tightly, his cheeks were close to each other, his ears and temples were grinding, and tears flowed for a long time......
