At dusk, two men appeared in a barren forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe two were in their thirties, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short. The thin one was bald, carrying a bag and two hammers to lead the way, and the fat one followed closely behind with an object of his own size wrapped in a red cloth.

This is a wasteland, the soil is fertile, there is no lack of sunlight and no lack of water, but there is really no grass around it except for a few towering trees that have long since been withered, and at first glance it looks like dry land that has been dry for many years, desolate and boundless.

Looking at the black branches that had withered for I don't know how many years, the fat man walking behind was obviously a little scared, raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the bald head in front of him and asked softly: "Bald, why don't we go back, see that there is not even a single live grass growing in this place, how can there be any treasure?" ”

"You know!" The bald head snorted lightly: "The more this kind of place, the more treasures there are, you just have to follow me, where is there so much nonsense!" "I sped it up a bit.

The fat man pursed his lips and sped up to follow.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a particularly conspicuous towering tree appeared in front of the two. It was a Chiba pine, which had also withered and died, but its dense branches crisscrossed and layered on top of each other, making it look like a giant black coral from a distance.

Seeing this Chiba pine, the tiredness on the bald face was instantly replaced by joy, and when he was about to put down the burden, he threw a hammer to the fat man behind him: "Arrived, this is it, while it is not dark, push this tree first!" ”

The fat man lazily took the hammer, and the two came to the tree and danced left and right.

The floor of this barren forest is covered with only a thin layer of hard soil, and when dug up, the soil underneath is as soft as mud mixed with water. Although the two of them were slightly surprised in physique, one had the skills and the other had the strength, and no one would lose to anyone when they started working, and in less than half an hour, there was even a big pit more than one meter deep under the tree, and the roots of the trees of different thicknesses were presented.

After penetrating the two large pits into the shape of a crescent moon, the bald head beckoned the fat man to push hard, and the towering tree that had stood here for an unknown number of years collapsed. Although the tree was completely dry, the dense branches still made it top-heavy, and after the collapse, the roots of the tree completely lifted out of the ground, leaving a bottomless black hole in its original place.

The bald head nodded with satisfaction, then casually broke a branch and took out a strip of cloth soaked in fire oil from his backpack and wrapped it around a few times, lit it and threw it into the hole.

Strips of cloth and branches with fire oil formed a simple torch that turned into a fireball and fell straight down. The fat man and the bald head looked at each other, and saw that the fireball fell more than twenty meters to the bottom, and the flames swayed from side to side, faintly reflecting a small arched door.

Seeing this scene, the bald head was even more joyful, and he clapped his palms excitedly: "It's done!" I didn't expect there to be a big tomb down here! Ready, ready, go down! ”

Hearing him talk about the 'big tomb', the fat man also came to the spirit: "There is a play and a play, it seems that there is definitely a play, we are about to develop!" ”

Taking advantage of the joy in their hearts, the two began to prepare. The fat man took off the things he was carrying on his back and carefully stood at the entrance of the hole, ripped off the outer layer of red cloth, and a lifelike paper figure appeared in front of him. The paper figure had a fierce face, and the workmanship was very exquisite, even down to the hair and eyebrows, and it looked exactly like a real person from a distance. The bald head took out a worn-out porcelain bowl and two wades of paper money from the baggage and placed them in front of the paper man, and glanced at the whole and breathed a sigh of relief.

After everything was ready, the bald head got three taels of wine in the porcelain bowl, knelt on his knees and muttered words:

Paper piercing people, like ghosts. I'll dig for the soil, and you will protect your soul.

Lonely souls, please listen to orders, and don't hurt people when you go.

The rhyme of the fairy spirit rises from the ground, and the hundred ghosts retreat and do not block the door!

With that, he quickly lit the paper money, picked up the porcelain bowl and sprinkled the wine in it around.

The paper money burned even more fiercely when it was burned by wine, only to see the raging flames rushing towards the sky, and then all disappeared, leaving only two black ashes.

When the sparks on the ashes disappeared completely, the bald head took out two pieces of yellow rune paper from his arms, wrapped the ashes in them and gave them to the fat man: "This is a life talisman, be sure to put it away, if something happens below, eat the ashes to keep you safe." ”

The fat man ended up putting it in his arms and said impatiently: "I know, I know, I don't need it every time, I want me to say that it is redundant to waste this time......"

The big black hole with a small neck and a big belly, the first half of which could only allow one person to barely pass, the bald head was bold and reached out quickly, took out a short knife from the burden and stuck it on the back waist, and then grabbed a wisp of tree roots and slowly slid down. The fat man followed, and although it was a little difficult, he inhaled and tightened his waist smoothly through the narrowest area.

The feet touch the bottom and the two torches are lit in turn. Originally, the two of them were going to explore deeply, but who knew that when the faint firelight looked up, there was already a huge space sloping downward before they met. This space is boxy, and there are many colorful faces painted on the walls on both sides, all with hideous expressions, much more fierce than the face of the paper man outside, and people can't help but tremble at a glance.

More than ten meters in front of the entrance of the cave, there is a huge coffin. The bald head slowly approached and raised the torch, only to see that the coffin was completely black, more than two circles larger than a normal coffin, and there were no coffin nails at the top, no depiction on the surface, not even a coffin inscription, only a strange grimace depicted in the middle of the coffin.

Although there is no depiction and decoration, this coffin looks very majestic, and the four corners of the coffin protrude downward, extending to the shells of the four basalt turtles. The four corners of the coffin lid were upturned upward, turning into four dragon heads with jewels in their mouths, and their eyes were rounded and glaring in all directions!

The grimace was golden yellow, with simple lines and distinct outlines, reflecting a dazzling light in the light of the fire, which was very eye-catching.

The grimace's expression was not very vicious, and the fat man stretched his neck to take a look, but he felt the cold air flowing under his feet, and a nameless fear arose in his heart. He was a little scared and wanted to beckon the bald head out, but he couldn't help but keep his mouth shut when he remembered the conversation just now.

The bald head turned around the tomb and frowned slightly: "Except for this coffin, there is not even a stone around it, it is estimated that it is a poor tomb, and there will be nothing too good." ”

The fat man was also stunned when he heard this: "Then what should I do, I can't go out empty-handed, right?" ”

"That's nature, thieves don't go empty! Now that you've come down, you can't work hard in vain, you have to take something out. If you can afford such a big coffin, you shouldn't be too poor, maybe you can put all the funeral goods inside. Alright, open the coffin! As he spoke, the bald head took out a roll of hemp rope and two hooks from his baggage, looked left and right at the wall that fastened the hook to one side of the tomb, and then put on the hemp rope and threw it down.
