Chapter Twenty-Five: Abandon Wealth to Save Your Life
The bronze statue's movements were so sudden and rapid that I didn't expect it at all.
Because his body stiffened for a moment before, he was now looking at the bronze giant sword swinging in front of him, and it was too late to dodge.
I heard the whirring sound of the bronze giant sword rubbing against the air, and I broke out in a cold sweat for a while, and I began to regret my previous actions.
"Zhang San's ......"
"Virtuous nephew, be careful......"
The voices of Li Huiyan and Liu Laoqi came from behind me, but I couldn't spare the energy to look at the two of them at all.
It was obviously impossible to accept my fate, and after experiencing the initial fear and stiffness of my body, I instinctively dodged in the face of the Whistling Bronze Greatsword.
At the moment when the bronze greatsword was about to slash at my neck, I leaned slightly to the left and leaned heavily against the stone wall of the tomb.
However, the bronze sword in the statue's hand followed me the next moment I leaned against the wall of the tomb, followed with a whistling sound, as if it was about to kill me.
Finished! This is the only thought in my heart at this time, I haven't talked about a girlfriend yet, am I going to die here?
I closed my eyes in resignation and waited for the bronze greatsword to fall.
The bronze sword finally fell, and a coldness that seemed to come from hell fell on my neck.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and I stood motionless for a long time, but I didn't feel the pain I should have.
After a moment, I tried to raise my hand and touch my neck, but my hand was cold, the temperature of the bronze sword in the statue's hand.
The bronze sword did not slash at me, but came to an abrupt halt less than a centimeter from my neck just as it was about to slash at me.
Looking at this scene in front of me, I didn't dare to come out, for fear that if I made any excessive movements, the bronze sword would be cut down again, making my head different.
The cold sweat on my forehead dripped down one after another, I had never felt this way before, time passed so slowly, every minute became an ordeal.
Finally, the bronze sword in the statue's hand moved, and then it was retracted from my neck, and everything was silent, as if nothing had happened before.
It's just that the cold sweat that broke out all over my body and the coolness that I could still feel in my neck proved that everything had happened before.
After walking through the ghost gate, I finally realized what life is precious. When the bronze sword in the statue's hand was completely removed, I reacted, spread my feet and ran back to Li Huiyan and Liu Laoqi.
"Nephew, it was so dangerous just now. What the hell is going on, why doesn't this town tomb statue kill you? Seeing that I came back safe and sound, Liu Laoqi immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously.
Hearing this, I secretly despised him. It is estimated that this Liu Laoqi probably cares about me or not, and wants to know from me how to escape from the hands of the bronze statue.
At this moment, my heart is still pounding, and the cold sweat on my body is still flowing down, but I just picked up a life from the ghost gate, okay, where do I have the heart to answer his question.
"Zhang Sansan, I'm sorry, if I hadn't insisted on testing the conjecture in my heart, you wouldn't have encountered danger, it's all my fault......" Li Huiyan took two steps forward, her body was almost close to me, and she hesitated and said.
"Why do you say I'm sorry, I'm fine, isn't this a good standing here?" I waved my hand and said in a nonchalant tone.
I was scared just now, but at this time, in front of Li Huiyan, I naturally wanted to show my manliness.
Honestly, it's fucking exciting to think about that scene now.
Li Huiyan wanted to say something more, but then Liu Laoqi came up again.
Liu Laoqi's nephew Donggua also followed behind him, secretly giving me a thumbs up in the air, although he didn't make a sound, but I saw that his mouth was clearly saying "It's really enough".
"Virtuous nephew, you see that my men are still trapped there, if you have any way to deal with this tomb statue, don't hide it." Liu Laozi smiled, and said with a shy face again: "I see that you are young, you shouldn't have a girlfriend yet, right?" Do you want me to help you be a matchmaker, let me tell you, Uncle Seven can know several beautiful little girls, and they can be introduced to you when the time comes, no matter which one you like, you can choose at will, and Uncle Seven will personally be the matchmaker for you, and I will ensure that your wishes ......come true."
"Stop!" Seeing that Liu Laoqi was going to continue chattering, I quickly interrupted him and said, "Uncle Seven, I didn't say that I wouldn't tell you, didn't I just be scared stupid, and I haven't slowed down yet." ”
Although Liu Laoqi didn't care about the life and death of his tomb robbers, he also understood that if all the people under his command died, it would inevitably affect all the actions that entered the tomb in the future.
And although what I think in my heart is different from Liu Laoqi, I also don't want these tomb robbers to die in this place, I still expect these tomb robbers to find Xu Hao and the three of them for us, and one more person will naturally have more strength.
As long as I find Xu Hao and them, I don't bother to care about the life and death of these tomb robbers.
Thinking like this in my heart, I told Liu Laoqi what Li Huiyan told me before.
"Nephew, are you sure it's the reason for these burial goods?" After listening to my words, Liu Laoqi had a dull expression on his face, and he never expected such a simple answer.
I nodded, and the meaning was obvious.
Liu Laoqi hesitated for a moment, groped around for a moment, and then threw two tiger-shaped jade pendants with dark yellow colors on the ground.
I quietly glanced at the two tiger-shaped jade pendants on the ground, the style is very simple, and it can even be said that it is inconspicuous, but it is definitely a priceless treasure.
Before the Qin and Han dynasties, as far as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the jade pendant in the shape of a dragon and tiger was only qualified to be worn by princes and nobles, and ordinary people were not qualified to have it.
With Liu Laoqi's vicious gaze of robbing the tomb for decades, it is naturally impossible to put anything worthless in his pocket.
After throwing away the jade pendant, Liu Laoqi gritted his teeth and walked straight to the bronze statue. Judging by his actions, it seems that he wants to personally verify what I said before.
It is very similar to the situation I encountered before, just when Liu Laoqi approached the bronze statue not far away, he was sensed by the bronze statue, and his backhand was a sword slash.
Immediately after, the bronze giant sword stopped half a foot away from Liu Laoqi's neck.
"Seventh Master, what the hell is going on, your old man quickly find a way to save us." The four tomb robbers who were trapped in front of the stone gate saw this scene and finally saw the hope of life, and they all shouted to Liu Laoqi with snot and tears.
"Shut up, you idiots." Liu Laoqi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and scolded: "It's very simple to survive, throw away all the things you just picked up." Remember, it's all thrown away, who the wants to keep one or two secretly, and don't come to Lao Tzu when he dies. ”
Liu Laoqi's words made the four tomb robbers look at each other and throw away the funeral goods they picked up, this is all money spent in vain, and any one can be worth tens of thousands.
For a while, all the tomb robbers did not move, obviously a little reluctant to bear the treasure on their bodies.
After Liu Laoqi finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to these tomb robbers under him, and returned to the few of us again.
Eventually, after weighing the pros and cons, the four tomb robbers still felt that small lives were worth more than antiques, and began to throw things on the ground one by one. What a three-legged bronze tripod, what a serpentine jade pendant, what a silver wine bottle, I was dazzled, and I threw it to the ground in a moment.
Just a moment after the tomb robbers threw away the burial goods on their bodies, the two bronze statues suddenly stopped swinging their swords, turned into dead objects again, and stood motionless in place, as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.
"All in the door." The crisis caused by the bronze statue was finally resolved, Liu Laoqi waved his hand at the remaining tomb robbers, and said in a deep voice.
This...... Hearing Liu Laoqi's words, all the tomb robbers stood motionless, and they had no intention of entering the stone gate.
"Seventh Master, forget it, this tomb is really a little weird, before entering the tomb, the brothers are about to lose half of it, I'm afraid that there will be more dangers if we go on." Said a tomb robber with a slightly dark complexion and a pair of clerk's glasses.
"What? Afraid of death? I, Liu Laoqi, have been fighting for decades, and I have never seen any strange tombs. If any of you are afraid of death, go back to yourself, and I will not stop you. But if you walk the rivers and lakes in the future, don't say that you used to be my brother under Liu Laoqi, I can't afford to lose that person. ”
Hearing this, Liu Laoqi's face sank, and after glancing at the people in front of the stone gate, he said coldly.
"Seventh Master, I didn't mean that, I just ......" The tomb robber spoke again, but just halfway through his words, he glanced at Liu Laoqi's cold expression, his mouth became slurred, and he couldn't say the rest of his words.
Seeing this scene, I had to feel some sympathy for these tomb robbers, knowing that there must be danger in the tomb in front of me, but I couldn't take a step back, which was really a bit sad.
In the end, the tomb robbers who were still some retreated, under the majesty of Liu Laoqi, had no choice but to continue to move into the tomb.
Everyone walked into the stone gate one after another, and I still carried Xiao Yue on my back, and walked at the back of the line with Li Huiyan.
Suddenly, I felt as if a pair of cold eyes were looking at me behind me, this time more creepy than before, as if those eyes were hanging quietly behind me.
But when I turned around and looked behind me, the tomb was still as empty as before, with nothing but bones on the floor.
Just when I was thinking nonsense, Liu Laoqi's group of tomb robbers had already walked into the stone gate, and I quickly followed when I saw this.
As soon as I entered the stone gate, I saw a hedgehog-like corpse nailed to the stone wall on the wall of the tomb behind the stone gate.
The corpse was covered with no less than twenty crossbow arrows, and it was bleeding all over the place, and it stared at the entrance of the stone gate with wide eyes, looking dead and extremely terrifying.
