Chapter 82: The Tomb Beast
Although Village Chief Yao said that he believed us, I knew that he actually had some doubts in his heart.
Even so, there is no better way to reassure him completely.
Only by leaving this ancient tomb and letting him see with his own eyes that Teacher Feng had secretly escaped from Yaojia Village can everything be revealed.
Of course, these are just for later, what I want to do now is to try to keep Village Chief Yao by our side, so that we will not have a lot of trouble for the rest of our trip.
"Village Chief Yao, I know you must not have completely believed us, but I have a reluctant request right now, I hope you can stay with us until you leave the ancient tomb." I said to Village Chief Yao.
In order not to offend him, I tried to lower my posture as much as possible, and I tried to speak in a tactful tone, lest the old man think that I was threatening him, and he would die in a hurry.
"Nope." When Village Chief Yao heard this, he didn't think about it and said, "I still have to deal with that gang of tomb robbers, and I can't stay here." ”
Seeing this old man's resolute attitude, I was a little difficult for a while.
For Village Chief Yao, we can't beat or scold or scold, to be honest, I'm really a little afraid that this old man will let us be buried here alive in a fit of anger.
"Well, Village Chief Yao, we promise to help you persuade those tomb robbers not to take any of the burial goods from the tomb. Before we do that, how about you help us find our classmates? At this time, Li Huiyan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Old man, why should I believe you? If you join forces against me then, then I can't help you. Hearing this, Village Chief Yao snorted and said.
It's really an old man who doesn't eat oil and salt, and it doesn't work to say it, and it makes me secretly hate it.
"Little old man, you are the village chief of Yaojia Village, I have something I want to show you." Yang Baichuan suddenly stepped forward and said to Village Chief Yao.
Village Chief Yao raised his head and looked at Yang Baichuan with a suspicious gaze, as if he hadn't noticed that there was such a person among us until this time.
"Who is this man? Is it also your classmates? I think you didn't think there was this person when you came yesterday. Village Chief Yao stared at Yang Baichuan for a while, then turned his head to me and said.
I don't know how to answer, the identities of the Yang family brothers and sisters are too sensitive, in fact, until now I don't know why the two of them came to the tomb.
"My identity, you will know when you come with me." Seeing the old man like this, Yang Baichuan was not angry, and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yuqing suddenly came to the back of Village Chief Yao, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he unceremoniously picked him up, just like carrying a chicken.
I smacked my tongue again and again, who said that girls are soft and weak, and they have no power to restrain chickens, and it is estimated that even a calf like Yang Yuqing can carry it with one hand.
Suddenly being carried in the air, Village Chief Yao turned pale with fright, and his mouth kept screaming, threatening to bury all of us here alive.
"Brother Three, you wait here for a while, and we'll go back when we go." Yang Baichuan said, then turned around and walked back.
Seeing this, Yang Yuqing carried Village Chief Yao to follow closely, and Village Chief Yao's angry scolding continued to sound in the tomb.
Seeing this scene, I wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, and secretly swore in my heart that I would never provoke Yang Yuqing in the future.
Yang Baichuan walked back about three zhang away before stopping, he turned around and motioned for Yang Yuqing to put Village Chief Yao down.
I saw that Yang Yuqing seemed to say something to Village Chief Yao, and after Village Chief Yao got rid of the clutches, he became honest instead, and the scolding in his mouth stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Baichuan touched out a small boxy object from his body.
Because it was too far away, and the light in the tomb was too dark, I couldn't see what Yang Baichuan was holding in his hand, but it looked like something like a token.
Yang Baichuan took out the unknown small object and handed it to Village Chief Yao, who just glanced at it and his face changed wildly, and then his face was full of excitement.
After retrieving the small items, Yang Baichuan said a few words to Village Chief Yao again, and then the three of them walked back together.
"Okay, Village Chief Yao has promised to go with us, but we still have to do what we promised him before, and we must let them leave the ancient tomb after meeting Liu Laoqi, and not take any of the funeral goods with them." Yang Baichuan said to us.
Naturally, we kept nodding our heads and saying yes.
That being said, I don't have much faith in that.
It is not difficult to persuade Liu Laoqi to leave the ancient tomb, after all, it is impossible for them to stay in the ancient tomb for a lifetime, but it is a little difficult for them not to take any of the burial goods.
These tomb robbers are outlaws, people die for money, birds die for food, and it is difficult to predict what will happen if they are pressed.
Even if Liu Laoqi is willing to agree, the tomb robbers under him will not necessarily be obedient, and he is afraid that he will inevitably have some trouble.
Village Chief Yao stood aside and said nothing, noncommittal to Yang Baichuan's words, as if he had suddenly become his follower.
I'm a little curious about how Yang Baichuan persuaded this Yao village chief who doesn't eat oil and salt, it seems that it should be related to the small object similar to a token that he took out, but because there are many people at the moment, I didn't ask anything.
After getting Village Chief Yao done, then all our next actions will naturally revolve around how to find Qin Dong and the three of them.
The words that "Qin Dong" said before lingered in their ears, and the constant repetition of the word "save me" made people extremely worried about their situation.
"Village Chief Yao, can you leave to find our classmates now? Do you know where they are? I asked Village Chief Yao.
"How do I know, you think Lao Tzu is a god, old man, I met you as soon as I entered the tomb, and I have been following you until now, where do you know about other people." Hearing this, Village Chief Yao blew his beard and glared.
"Yo, this old man has a big temper, rice cake, hurry up and burn this old man's beard with the torch in his hand, and teach him a good lesson." Seeing Village Chief Yao like this, Xiao Yue on the side was not happy, jumped out with his hands on his hips, and said with wide eyes.
Xiao Yue's words startled Village Chief Yao, raised his hand to cover the beard on his chin, and looked at me with a thief-like gaze.
I'm a little speechless, but now I've found out that this Village Chief Yao purely belongs to the kind of stubborn who toasts and doesn't eat and drink, he doesn't buy it at all if you are polite to him, if you are like Xiao Yue or Yang Yuqing, he will become obedient and have no temper at all.
"Village Chief Yao, I want to know how big this ancient tomb is?" Li Huiyan suddenly asked.
"The entire back mountain of our Yaojia Village is an ancient tomb, which is basically hollowed out, and the length of all the tombs should add up to more than ten kilometers. Even I have a lot of places I haven't visited, including the main burial chamber. When Village Chief Yao heard this, he secretly glanced at the Yang family brothers and sisters, and then said.
Village Chief Yao's words made me secretly smack my tongue, just the intricate tomb road is more than ten kilometers long, how many manpower does it take to build and how many years to complete, the rulers of feudal society are really evil.
"Is there any way to find our classmates as soon as possible?" Li Huiyan asked again.
"To be honest, it's a bit difficult to find your classmates when you're not sure where they are. But old man, I am not a person who does not believe in my word, and since I promised you just now, I will definitely do my best. If you know anything you know, you can tell me about it, and it might be useful to find them as soon as possible. Village Chief Yao shook his head and said.
In fact, when Village Chief Yao answered Li Huiyan's first question, I felt a little headache.
With more than a dozen kilometers of intricate tunnels, it's a huge labyrinth that would take hours to walk through, not to mention making sure you don't get lost in the tunnel.
Once you get lost in the graveyard, you may not be able to find them for a few days.
But God willing, we were lucky enough to meet Village Chief Yao, since he is the grave keeper, he naturally knows the direction of the tomb well, and can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Village Chief Yao, we encountered an incident not long ago, I don't know if it's useful to say it." I suddenly remembered what I had encountered "Qin Dong" before, and I was a little hesitant to say it.
In the end, I thought about it and told me what I had just met with "Qin Dong".
After listening to my story, Village Chief Yao was silent for a moment and then asked, "Are you sure that the right half of his face is a blur of flesh and blood?" ”
"Sure, all of us saw it, don't believe you can them." I said.
When the others heard this, they also nodded their heads to indicate that this was indeed the case.
"This is a bit troublesome, I suspect that your classmates accidentally strayed into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, but I'm afraid that they are now more than lucky." Unanimously affirmed by everyone, Village Chief Yao's face also changed, his voice trembled a little, and he said.
"What is the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave?" Village Chief Yao's words made me feel cold, and I asked after calming down.
"Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is a snake nest dug when the tomb was repaired, and finally these snakes became the guardians of the ancient tomb, the old man, my identity is the tomb keeper, and their identity is the tomb beast, which is also passed down from generation to generation from my ancestors." Village Chief Yao said.
"Isn't the tomb beast some stone carving, wood carving, bronze carving or something? Are there still living grave beasts? "I can't help but be a little skeptical about Village Chief Yao's words.
"Hmph, who told you that the tomb beasts must be these dead things?" Village Chief Yao snorted, and suddenly his gaze fell on the top of my head, and then said: "Isn't that little guy hiding on your head a living tomb beast, you are embarrassed to pretend to be stupid in front of my old man." ”
What's on top of my head? I was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that Village Chief Yao was talking about the ghost-faced spider hiding above my head.
I've forgotten about it, the Ghost-Faced Spider is indeed a tomb beast in this ancient tomb, and it's also alive.
In this way, Qin Dong and the others are likely to be in the same danger as us, but they are not as lucky as us, but they are trapped in the place called the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and they have even encountered the danger of their lives, and the "Qin Dong" we saw before is the best proof of this.
"Village Chief Yao, our classmates must have encountered danger, please help the old man lead the way and take us to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave." Concerned about the safety of Qin Dong and them, I hurriedly asked Village Chief Yao. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
