Chapter 9 to Lujiazhai

I lay on the ground for five minutes before I got up and kept going.

I have been walking for more than two hours, and I have been soaking in the Jing River for a while, and at this time mine is already very tired, if I don't want the four of them to look down on the Gu family, I guess this energy would have been dissipated a long time ago.

The further we went, the lighter the fog became, but the road became more and more difficult to walk - in fact, there was no road at all, so I could only judge the direction and weave through the woods.

"Seventh Master, don't you tell me where I'm going?" I was really tired, so I opened my mouth to ask the seventh master, hoping that he could give me some motivation.

"We're on the border of Mt. Saga now." The seventh master smiled and said, "You still ask me where to go?" ”

"I know it's the underground Afang Palace, but ......"

The Seventh Master interrupted me: "To the north of the Jing River and south of the Sagashan Mountains, there is a small village that few people know. Even if anyone knew about it, it was unclear exactly when they settled there. Moreover, they have little contact with the outside world, and it is difficult to enter the village, so it is a forgotten village. ”

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Lujiazhai."

Lujiazhai? I'm really interested: "If I'm not mistaken, this Lu Jiazhai won't be the descendant of Lu Hou Lu Pheasant, right?" ”

"Haha, boy, you really know how to guess!" The old clam smiled and praised me in front.

"That's right." The seventh master said: "After the death of Empress Lu, Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, united with Chen Ping and the others to exterminate the Lu clan. At that time, some of the people of the Lu clan who were crowned kings and marquis in other places escaped, and after decades of seclusion, they secretly returned to the foot of Saga Mountain to guard the tomb for Empress Lu until now. ”

"Wait!" I suddenly remembered a question: "If Lu Jiazhai, that is, the descendants of the Lu family, has been guarding the Afang mausoleum of Empress Lu and Liu Bang, then why did someone steal the Han Jia?" ”

"Liu Bang should be buried in Changling, and the Afang Mausoleum at the foot of Saga Mountain should be the tomb of Empress Lu, as for Empress Lu's beloved diet, it is unknown. I also have doubts about the problem of tomb robbery you mentioned, but the gold diggers in ancient times were more powerful than our contemporary times, and it should not be a problem to steal and dig up Han armor. The Seventh Master explained.

"I know that Hanjia itself is the most yin and evil thing." I paused for a moment and said, "The Han armor is stained with the blood of thousands of soldiers, and it is said that if the Han armor is in a complete set, it will cause disaster, and even if it is a single Han armor, no one can suppress its evil spirit......

"That's just one of them." The Seventh Master snorted: "Hanjia this thing, I don't think there is anything more yin and evil than it, but."

This thing itself is a Longyang thing, if any tomb robber steals it all or swallows one piece for himself, this person will die. Therefore, everyone who steals the Han armor will leave one piece in the original tomb. Of course, your Gu family is not afraid of evil things, and the emperor has been passed down for several generations, maybe the ancestors ......"

The seventh master stopped talking when he said this, closed his eyes and took a nap. I didn't understand what the seventh master meant, and seeing that he didn't explain, I had to shrug my shoulders and look out the window. However, according to what the Seventh Master said, if the tomb robber steals the Han Jia, then there is only one choice: to transfer it to others, no matter what, it can't be kept in his own hands.

An hour later, the road under my feet suddenly turned downhill, and ten minutes later it became uphill again, and it was clearly an uphill road. I knew that I had come to Sagashan, and I thought to myself, could it be that Lujiazhai was on the top of the mountain? The main peak of Mt. Saga is more than 1,000 meters high, so when can you climb it like this?

But after walking for less than five minutes, the ground suddenly stabilized, and the seventh master in front of him stood up: "Xiao Gu, we have arrived." ”

I followed the eyes of the seventh master, and sure enough, dozens of meters away, there was a village built on the mountain, which looked like no more than twenty or thirty households, and a few of them were still lit.

I glanced at the time, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

When we walked to the entrance of the village, we found that there were already seven or eight people standing at the entrance of the village waiting for us. I look at it, it's really as the seventh master said, these people's clothes are weird, although I don't have much research on ancient Chinese clothing, but I haven't eaten pork and seen pigs run, I have watched too many costume dramas, and I can still recognize that some people's clothes are still matched hundreds of years ago, and a few people's clothes are in the style of twenty or thirty years ago, so mixed and matched, it makes people feel funny.

The first one was a middle-aged man, not tall, dark-skinned, wearing a peaked cap and a green military-like dress, who looked like the village chief.

"Who are you?"

As soon as the village chief spoke, I almost laughed: this person spoke in a buzzing voice, and his accent was too strange, like a combination of Shaanxi and Shandong northern dialects, which sounded extremely funny.

"Oh, we're from the Institute." The seventh master walked over with a smile, took out a few documents from his bag and handed them over: "This time I came to study our village." ”

Oh, this seventh master, but he has made sufficient preparations in advance.

The village chief just glanced at the certificate in the seventh master's hand: "Well, our village doesn't like outsiders to come in, since you came here so late, then you are allowed to stay here for one night, and you have to leave early tomorrow morning!" ”

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) "Thank you very much." The seventh master put on a very moved look, and Liang Ruoyi on the side turned his head to the side, as if he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Come with me." The village chief glanced at the rest of us, turned around and led us into the village.

"It's been a long time since an outsider has been in our village." The village chief entered the village and said, "You must not wander around, for if you get into trouble, we will not be soft-hearted." ”

The seventh master nodded with a smile on the side, but I didn't understand what the village chief meant: No one has been here for a long time, which means that at least for as long as he can remember, someone should have been to this Lujiazhai. If this is the case, it is almost certain that there have been robberies of the tomb in recent decades.

I am reminded of Liang Dong, the man behind our search for armor. Why did this person know about Lu Jiazhai? If it were me, after going out this time, except for the second uncle, I would definitely not mention the matter of Lujiazhai to others. In this way, this Liang Dong is very likely to have been here or his parents and relatives have been to Lujiazhai.

Things are getting more and more complicated, and I can't help but know how big a whirlpool I am in.

"You live here." The village chief pointed to a courtyard that looked fairly clean and said, "Rest early, don't run around." ”

The seventh master sent the village chief away, and we entered the courtyard, where there was only one house, a living room, and a bedroom.

"Huh? And the stove! The old clam saw the stove in the corner, hurriedly took out a handful of noodles from his backpack, and began to cook.

My stomach was growling, too, and I hurried over to help him make a fire.

The cloth bag monk sat on a wooden chair by himself, closed his eyes and rested. Along the way, the old monk did not say a word.

Liang Ruoyi looked around, and after feeling that there was no danger, he stood aside and watched the two of us cook.

"I've always thought this place was weird." The seventh master came in from outside the door and added another candle: "Let's eat a little, and then rest early." ”

Twenty minutes later, after being hungry all night, we quickly finished eating the noodles and cleaned up, Liang Ruoyi moved into the bedroom without closing the door, and the four of us men found a relatively comfortable place to rest in the living room.

It was a tiring day, and I closed my eyes for less than a minute before falling asleep.

"Puff ......"

I don't know how long later, I was suddenly woken up by a regular noise, opened my eyes, and found that the candle had been extinguished, I didn't dare to move, pricked up my ears, and heard a "poof" sound again - it was the roof!
