Chapter 21: The Cliff
We can clearly see the spire, the spire is not very far from the edge of the cliff, only three or four feet away, but because it is too dim, it is not very clear to see the surroundings and the situation under the tower. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
We gathered the miner's lights together and shot them to the opposite side, and suddenly found that we were only on one of the cliffs, and there was also a cliff opposite the tower, and the middle of the cliff was where the tower was located.
This water is estimated to be the same water as the water under the stone bridge, so we can roughly estimate that the height of this cliff is basically the same as the previous stone bridge.
And the sound of the water can basically be the sound of hitting the tower, but this tower is too strange to build, it was built from the water, although we have tested the water is not very deep, but now we are starting to make trouble, how to go to the opposite cliff, this is a problem, what this tower is for, can not know.
"Listen, how does the sound of the water come and go?" Tianming seemed to hear something.
"I'm afraid that there is water accumulated in the tower, and the water behind it will squeeze out the water inside when it passes through the tower." I know a little bit about things, explained.
"Looks like we're going to have to wade through this water, and it looks like the Witch King's tomb is still on the other side!" The second uncle said helplessly.
"Damn, there are really a lot of things in these ancients, is it necessary to make a tomb so troublesome? If there were no treasures in his tomb, I would have tore his body to pieces. Abu looked impatient, and spat on the ground as he spoke, his face suffocating into a monkey's ass.
"Why, weren't you happy that you didn't fall off that cliff just now?" Tianming saw the appearance of Abuna dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and said with a pout.
"Lao Tzu's life is half gone, whatever! It's a big deal to fall and become a powerful ghost and fight with the eventful Witch King. "It seems that Abu is indeed getting impatient.
The two uncles were not satisfied with Abu's habit of bickering, and only thought about how to cross the cliff, while my father took a lamp to see what was in the tower, but he could not see anything.
The second uncle groped back and forth on the edge of the cliff for a while, as if he had found something: "Someone has been here!" ”
"It can't be the same gang from before, right? But they all died in the front passage! "When my father heard my second uncle say this, he thought it was not strange that the previous tomb robbers in this tomb had died in front.
"Then these flying tiger paw prints ......" the second uncle squatted down and pointed to a small stone pillar on the edge of the cliff and said, when we looked along the second uncle's fingertips, we saw a few scratches on the stone pillar, and the scratches were very white.
"I'm afraid there is another 'pot', it seems that our 'pot' is a little difficult to support!" The second uncle looked at the white paw prints and sighed, it seems that the snake didn't eat everyone before, although some people didn't kill the big python, but it is still possible to escape the giant mouth of the big python, and it may be another pot of tomb robbers who came down from this cliff.
As for whether this "pot" can be supported, it depends on whether there is a treasure in the tomb of the witch spirit king, if the tomb robber can get out before, there may be no clear weapons in this tomb, and we are never sure that there is the main tomb of the witch spirit king on the other side of this cliff.
For the pot, I have to say that generally everyone in a tomb robbery activity is called "a pot", and the highest level in the pot is called "palm eye", which is simply the eldest brother, and this name has continued from ancient times to the present.
Especially in Shanxi, there are some strange terms for the title of personnel in the tomb robbery industry chain, in addition to the eldest brother called "palm eye", there are also "branch pot", "legs", "bitterness", anyway, they are all called according to the division of labor.
"Palm Eye" is the soul of this "pot" people, in addition to finding the dragon point, there is also the location of identifying the Ming weapon and distinguishing the direction of the tomb, like what kind of feng shui secret arts, Qimen Dunjia has to be proficient, and there are more things to master.
In addition, the palm eye can also find a primary buyer for the unearthed artifact, and at the same time, the palm eye itself can also "support the pot" and pour the bucket, if we have to divide the labor, only my second uncle and my father can be qualified for the position of the "palm eye", as for the master, it is too special, and it is not good to force him to install a position.
And once we find the tomb, enter the tomb, and go out with the artifact, this pot is propped up, for this artifact and the artifact, you don't have to be entangled, in fact, it is called the artifact when it is in the tomb, and it is called the artifact after it goes out, there is no difference in pronunciation, but this is also to avoid some things.
And the "legs" are the people who are responsible for blowing up the door of the ground and the tomb in the process of robbing the tomb, opening up the road, and designing the robbery hole.
In addition, there is "hard work", which is actually doing coolies, digging holes, lifting mud, and moving stones in the process of panning for gold.
Judging from the outfits of the tomb robbers outside, it looks like a tomb robber gang hired by someone, and those who die may be those who have legs and suffering, if they don't have some skills and no one to protect them, what kind of guy they can't provoke in this fight is basically to die.
And we are now helping people who are either fathers and sons or brothers, or people who have known each other for decades, and they don't have any work, everyone works together, and the division of labor doesn't have to be so clear, so this work is also progressing relatively quickly.
There is also the fact that each of us knows something about everything, so it doesn't matter if you do this, I do that, as long as you can find the Ming Weapon, so there is never any "palm eye" or anything like that.
We are different from those ordinary southern crawlers in Shanxi, they rob the tomb generally by the uncle accompanying the nephew to fight, the nephew enters the tomb, the uncle is waiting outside, once the nephew gets the Ming vessel, the uncle is outside to catch the wind, this listens to know that it is just to steal some rich and noble people's small tomb narrow hole, can not do a big thing.
And we don't fight, we don't fight, usually do some ordinary people's antique business or something, help others look at some feng shui, find a good tomb, and wander around when you are free, once there is news, you know the location of the tomb, you will be summoned, and anyone who has a little ability, the relationship is iron, will fight together.
And the claw marks on this stone pillar mean that someone on the other side of the cliff may have set up a pot in it, as for what is in this tower, we also have to go in to take a look, maybe there will be some gains, maybe there will be some gains, we can only resign ourselves to fate, mainly because the scratches on the stone pillar make us very uncertain whether the gang of people in front of us have knocked down this tomb.
"Abu, bring it from the Flying Tiger's Claws." The second uncle got up and patted the dust on his knees, and said to Abu, "We need to find a good place to go down, there may be something in this tower." ”
"Okay!" When Abu heard that there would be something, he was very happy, and naturally understood what my second uncle meant, and the efficiency of doing things was also accelerated a lot, not only took out the flying tiger claw, but also fixed the flying tiger claw on the stone pillar, without a word of word.
For safety, Abu fixed the two flying tiger claws, and the two steel tiger claws were tightly fastened together, and Abu pulled hard to make sure that it was firm before going down, without waiting for us to speak.
Abu buckled a lot of mountaineering buckles around his waist, saying that he was heavier and needed a few more buckles to be safe, and said in his mouth: "Since you have heard the sound of water, this cliff is not high, I will go down first, and you follow." As he spoke, he popped out the steel rope behind the Flying Tiger's claws, and he slid down the cliff.
To tell the truth, the flying tiger claw is really a good thing in this environment, not to mention the easy to carry, the most important thing is that it is divided into three joints, and it can be twisted, can be stretched and retracted, like a chicken claw, and there is a mechanism at the end of the steel claw, when you want to use it, you can connect the long cable, the long cable is pumped, the steel claw will shrink inward, even in a relatively low place can hook the high thing, climbing is necessary, and it is extremely convenient.
"Abu, slow down, pull the rope when you get to the end, and make sure we come down again." Erbo Abu said.
"Okay, second master, you can rest assured!"
Abu slid down to the middle of the tower and looked at it, and it was difficult to turn around at first, but when he twisted and the miner's lamp shone on the tower, we were completely stunned by the scene in front of him.
Countless bones hung around the tower, and one of them was made of human bones.
