The three of them took out the dry food and ate it separately, sorted out the equipment, arranged the order of duty, Yuanmei asked us to untie the bandages to prevent the wound from being infected by the wet bandages, and applied the knife wound medicine all over the place, and the second master and I fell asleep leaning on the bag.

As soon as I closed my eyes, my mind was full of strange fish and strange birds, as well as the scene of being chased by a highly poisonous gecko, and finally Zeng Weiguo suddenly walked slowly towards me with Higashino Heihachiro and Li Tiezui with a cruel smile. And Zeng Rourou stood aside, hiding herself in the dark, completely unable to see her face, I struggled to run, but my legs seemed to be filled with lead, I could only slowly retreat with difficulty, seeing that Zeng Weiguo had arrived in front of me, I was suddenly slapped a few times, and a loud scream bounced up, startling Yuanmei, she said softly: "It's your turn", turned her head to the side, and lay on the backpack.

I wiped the sweat on my head, the second master was holding a fishskin knife next to him, snoring like thunder and sleeping incense, the surroundings were still dark, the wind was wrapped in bursts of water vapor, and kept roaring, but it was much smaller than when I was on the bridge, I took a sip of water, took out a cigarette and sat next to the torch, and thought about it crankily.

This time Zeng Weiguo colluded with the Japanese to go straight to Longchang, the strength must not be underestimated, in case Yuanmei's idea is wrong, no one dares to stop the cottages along the way, and finally they reach us at the same time.

First of all, I know best how much power I have, even if Liu Dayong and Yidao are thinking about the old relationship and are willing to come to the rescue, but one is in Tianjin, the other is in Tibet, and they are all thousands of miles away from Guangxi.

The second master actually wrote letters, but he has been away from home for many years, and he is purely one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, and Xiugu's death has made him a senior old bachelor, who can he write to? Could it be his brothers from Wuhu Mountain?

That's even more unreliable, from Liaobei to Guangxi, not to mention the distance, on the Five Tiger Mountain, which was chased by the officers and soldiers back then, was dead and wounded, and there was already little left, and the so-called people went to tea and cool, he left for so many years, and the Five Tiger Mountains may have changed how many groups of people, even if there are still a few old acquaintances alive, but who will take him, the second master who is too angry, as a dish?

What about the Li family? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile, no matter how much Yuanmei covered it up, how tough she was, but she was still a nerd, and her eyebrows fluttered when she quoted the scriptures, she had already betrayed her, if Li Ruhai was an old fox, then the entire Li family was a fox hole, Li Ruhai didn't dare to say that he was in the position of the big boss back then, just with her kind of cover that I can see through at a glance, hey, it's really harder than climbing to the sky, and now that she is clearly at stake, how many people are waiting to see this day and help? It's pretty much the same to watch the play.

After thinking about this circle, I sighed deeply, forget it, the road was chosen by myself, knowing that it was nine deaths and one life, I had to go with my teeth gritted, even if it was just to understand the fans in happiness, the fans of the Lei family, Zeng Weiguo, No. 6 and the whole thing.

Estimated the time, it took a long time to call the second master up, and fell asleep a little, I felt that my spirit and physical strength had recovered a lot, and the injuries on my body were not so painful, the three of them packed up, continued to set off, and went on the road again, I felt that my heart was not as heavy as before, since it was to die, then I should continue to walk fearlessly, no matter what he was in front of, anyway, I couldn't hide from what I should have come, this is fate, destined.

Lighting two torches, Yuanmei took the lead, looked around, and finally found a path paved with gravel, saying that it was a path, and it was not a problem for four or five people to walk side by side, but it was just inconspicuous in this vast darkness.

After walking for a while, I found that the road was a little redundant, and the surroundings were flat and flat, as if there was no need to bother to repair the road at all, and the second master also said: "This is afraid that there are too many people to be idle. ”

"I'm afraid this road is not ordinary, I hope it's not what I think" Yuanmei said with some anxiety, along the way, she was afraid of something, hearing her say this, the second master and I quickly shut up, no one dared to ask her what she was thinking.

After walking about a meal, the two points of light in front of me slowly became the size of a baked cake, and on both sides of the road not far away, there was something standing faintly, reflecting the fire from time to time, flickering and shining, and it was not real.

Walking and walking, Yuanmei suddenly stopped, I and the second master were behind her, trying to see the things in the black shadow, but I didn't expect her to stop suddenly, almost bumping together, Yuanmei lowered the torch, illuminated the gravel road, frowned, and walked forward slowly and cautiously.

Looking at her extremely serious expression, the second master handed me the torch, drew the knife, and the two of us were vigilant and vigilant, following behind Yuanmei.

After walking a dozen steps, the shining thing was revealed in the illumination of the torch, which was a black stone pillar hugged by four people, about two feet high, and there was also an identical one on the other side of the path, on which were carved huge expressionless human faces, the human face had no ears and noses, and the only remaining eyes and mouth were depicted extremely exaggeratedly, and the two organs occupied the whole face, and without exception they were all wide to the extreme, as if staring at us with an extremely surprised look.

The faces are closely arranged, from bottom to top, layer by layer, and at the top is a sun emblem that I have seen outside the cave before, and the whole stone pillar is as black as coal, but it exudes a jade-like light.

"Coal Spirit". Yuanmei stroked the stone pillar and said to herself.

"What's the stuff again?" The second master held the knife and asked nervously, how many times he died in the mouth of the mountain monster fish spirit along the way, don't say that it was him, I was shocked when I heard it.

"Coal essence, also known as coal jade, is a kind of coal jade, ancient books record, coal essence stone, black color and tough, light body like a black rhino out of Qinzhong can be used as a seal. I have seen the seal of the coal spirit carving, but it is the first time I have seen such a big one, and usually the coal spirit only comes out of the three eastern provinces, but I didn't expect that there are also here. ”

"So since it's such a good thing, what does it mean to put it?" What's the smelly show? The second master had a look of disdain in his mouth, but his hand had begun to rub up and down gently.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be more than these two such stone pillars, and if they are paired, I'm afraid there will be no less than ten pairs." Yuan Mei said with some concern.

Ten pairs of stone pillars, stone road, the bright light in front, how do I feel that this scene is so familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it for a while, the second master listened to her, and also fell into contemplation, the two of them lowered their heads, searched their stomachs for a long time, and none of them could match the number.

"Okay, don't think about it, the answer won't be too far" Yuan Mei finished speaking, lowered her head and followed the road, and continued to move slowly.

"Hey, I said big sister, I just wanted to ask you, what are you looking for?" ”

"I'm afraid there is a mechanism in this corridor. ”

"Organ? What does it mean? What can you catch with this mechanism? ”

"Man," I replied faintly, and Yuanmei glanced back at me, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded.

The second master looked at the two of us with a dissatisfied expression: "Hey? After a while, I hurriedly said, "What do you say you can catch the tomb laying mechanism?" ”

"Graveyard! The second master first exclaimed, then stood still, looked around, tilted his head and thought about it carefully, stomped his foot violently and said: "Hey, damn it, I said that this is familiar, this stone road is a tomb road, and the two pillars are equivalent to the tomb beasts, and the fire in front of it is an ever-bright lamp. ”

"Okay, everyone be careful, the emperor who has such a large financial resource to open a mountain as a mausoleum is by no means an idle person, and the funeral customs of ethnic minorities are essentially different from those of the Han people, I am afraid that there are many arrangements in this tomb that we can't think of, don't act rashly." Although Yuanmei is admonishing everyone in an extremely serious tone, I can feel a trace of excitement in her voice, seeing that she knows so much about the mausoleum, could it be that the Li family secretly does this Tuxing grandson's livelihood?

Sure enough, after walking dozens of steps, the coal spirit pillars engraved with human faces appeared on both sides again, the height and size were exactly the same as the previous one, and the eyes of each face were still wide open, but the mouth was a little smaller, as if it had changed from surprise to stupidity, and even a little ridiculous.

The three of them didn't stay too long, and continued to move forward, there will be a pair of coal spirit pillars every dozens of steps, and the faces on each pair of coal spirit pillars are undergoing extremely subtle changes, and when they walked to the tenth pair of coal spirit columns, the light point in front of them was already the size of a silver plate.

And the faces on this pair of pillars, compared with before, suddenly much finer, but also a lot more hideous, the mouth of each face is slightly open, rows of fine fangs, densely covered in it, the two inch-long fangs on the corners of the mouth are depicted very vividly, the eyes on the face before are a simple hollow circle, and the eyes of the people on this pillar have an extra blood-red eyeball, not only that, but each face is also engraved with a lot of incomprehensible words, crookedly connected together, as if the face is crawling with earthworms, The person watching is uncomfortable.

The sun emblem on the top also disappeared, replaced by a human face with a high hat, the eyes on this face turned out to be green, like glass, the torch shined, emitting a faint green light, red and green two kinds of light intertwined, there is a kind of breathtaking power, people who look at it chills.

Yuan Mei boldly went up and touched the red eyeballs: "It's carnelian, it seems that this is the last pair of stone pillars, and then you should enter the tomb, let's take a rest, I don't know what kind of secret path you will encounter when you go in for a while." ”

"Big girl, what are those green eyeballs made of, why do I look like jadeite?" The second master stared at the face above with some greed.

"Most likely, it's not far from Myanmar and it's not uncommon to decorate it with jadeite"

"Mom, isn't it unusual to have such a big jadeite? Xiaofeng, you see that our army can't go back, don't worry about the military salary, the Yuanmei family doesn't care about the great cause, we can't do it, which one of them doesn't cost money to eat, drink and Lazar in the future? Besides, you are still young, and in the future, you will buy land and build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, but you will spend a lot of money, so ah, you have to live a little more lively, this trip can't be in vain, your eyes are bright, you know no, what to take, ah. ”

I was stunned for a while, just nodded stupidly, but I didn't react at all in my head, Yuanmei pursed her lips, snorted coldly, didn't speak, turned around and found a relatively clean place, sat down against the pillar to rest, the second master looked at the jade above and swallowed saliva, and wanted to go up, but although this pillar was carved with human faces, the knife was not very deep, and he couldn't step on it at all.

He was turning here, and suddenly a gust of wind blew through the path, and there was a "poof" sound behind him, Yuanmei jumped up, and the three of them hurriedly looked back, only to see that only one of the two fires in the distance was left, and the second master shouted: "What is it?" ”

There was another "poof" sound, another light seemed to have been blown by someone, and it was extinguished instantly, and there seemed to be a heavy "hey" sound in the darkness, long and heavy, and the three of them suddenly stood on the tomb road with a tense body, and before they could say anything, the wind suddenly rose all around, and the people who blew were cold all over the body, but they were in a cold sweat.
