Chapter 2: The Quicksand Tomb
Along the way, we thought of all kinds of ways to lie, in case the third uncle knew and was speechless! The predictable results are all in vain! As soon as we entered the door, we were caught by the third uncle.
The third uncle called us to the sofa and sat down, looked at me and asked; Zijie, you say it! What the hell is going on? You've just arrived here, so you don't have a good rest! Instead, I went to get a wounded back?
I looked at the big head and Brother Yang, they all lowered their heads, silently like a wood carving, I thought in my heart for a while! Should I tell the truth or lie? If only the truth were told! The result? Or tell the truth! The result?
So I pulled Brother Yang and said; Brother, let's talk about it! The third uncle set his eyes on Brother Yang, and Brother Yang couldn't hide it! Just said; We went to Jiulong Mountain.
Before he finished speaking, Boss Chen exclaimed; Kowloon Mountain? Did you really go to Jiulong Mountain? We nodded at the same time, and then the third aunt looked around and suddenly asked; What about the honor? Where did he go?
Brother Yang replied; Because he was afraid, we sent him to Zhaozhuang, so he didn't stay with us. The third aunt nodded, it's good that she didn't go! It's good that you didn't go!
The third uncle lowered his head silently, maybe because Boss Chen was here, otherwise with the third uncle's hot temper, he would definitely not stop there.
After a while, the third aunt found some medicine to treat the wound, bandaged the wound for us briefly, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast! After the third aunt left.
The third uncle suddenly asked; Did you really go to Jiulong Mountain? Tell me what the hell is going on with this injury?
We told the third uncle and Boss Chen about last night's incident, and the third uncle sighed; It seems that the legend about Jiulong Mountain is true?
Boss Chen came to the scene at this time, and then asked the third uncle; What legends are there in Jiulong Mountain?
The third uncle looked around before he spoke; Legend has it that a long time ago, this was a small country, and the monarch had a way, which can be described as the peace of the country and the people, but these credits are all attributed to a person named Major General.
And this young general, he was just an orphan adopted by the monarch when he fought the world. In order to thank the monarch for saving his life, the orphan has been studying the art of war since then, and only wants to serve the monarch.
Soon, the world was decided, and everyone returned to their hearts. On a short day, a neighboring country sent an envoy, and when the envoy saw the king, he said; My lord has heard that the princess of your country is virtuous and virtuous, and she is willing to marry your country, and if she does not obey, he will send troops to your country. When the time comes, the chickens and dogs will not be left, and when the old monarch hears this, he will be so angry that he will bleed.
And the ministers in the court began to talk about it, only the young general, as soon as he pulled the envoy, raised his sword and wrote on the envoy's face; "To kill my lord, first destroy my soul."
Then he drove the envoy out of the main hall, and after the envoy left, the young general asked for orders to go on the expedition. The old monarch also wanted to breathe this evil breath, so he agreed to the young general.
Not long after, the major general was ordered to go on the expedition, before leaving! The old monarch reluctantly sent the expedition team fifteen miles out of the city gate, and watched the team go away before returning to the palace.
About three months later, the major general returned triumphantly, and the old monarch set up a celebration banquet in the place where the major general was sent away, waiting for the return of the soldiers.
That's it! The young general became the undefeated general of the old monarch, and he also married the third princess of his palm to the young general! But this boy is not blessed.
Before the marriage was completed, he died in a war, the old monarch lost his beloved general, and the third princess lost his lover. What's even more bizarre is that the old monarch also rewarded the young general with the cemetery he had chosen, buried him in his own cemetery, and buried him according to the monarch's standards.
And in the place where the major general ordered the troops, he built a Houjun Pavilion on a large scale.
After the death of the major general, the old monarch imposed all his hatred on the neighboring countries. He began to recruit troops, train and rejuvenate the army, and prepare to avenge the major general.
The third princess became ill because of longing and stayed alone in the Houjun Pavilion all day long. Let the old monarch persuade him; To no avail! In this way, it didn't take long for the third princess to enter Jiulong Mountain.
After the princess was buried, the old monarch ordered the training ground to be moved to Jiulong Mountain, and swore to avenge them, so what you saw yesterday was a battle that happened in Jiulong Mountain.
Boss Chen opened his mouth wide, and then said; The standard of a monarch? And his country has lost its research, which shows that as long as it is out of it, it can be said to be priceless?
I thought about it in my heart, why is this Boss Chen such a bastard? He doesn't let go of this kind of tomb? Is this still human? What's more, this young general died so unexplained, I often hear people say; The more bizarre his death, the heavier his grievances became.
At this time, the big head on the side asked; Third uncle, do you know if this general's tomb has ever been cursed? I remember last night I saw a stone tablet that read; The trespasser dies. Is any of this true?
The third uncle said; about folklore; It is true that there are a few people from other provinces who have gone up to the mountain before, but they have never come out. Later, some villagers found their bodies in the back mountain, and next to them, there were some tomb robbing tools and some arrowheads.
Soon, the third aunt's breakfast was ready, and we ate fragrant noodles before we felt how good it was to be alive! After breakfast, the third uncle took Boss Chen out again; And we just want to get a good night's sleep and make up for yesterday's supplies.
But Brother Yang is not so lucky! Not long after falling asleep, the third aunt ran in and said; Ziyang, go and bring me Zixun back You are sleeping, Brother Yang reluctantly got up and got dressed and went out!
When I woke up with Datou, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, only the third uncle and Boss Chen were chatting while drinking tea in the living room, I walked over, and the third uncle asked; Zijie; Are you up?
I nodded, then grabbed a copy of the newspaper on the coffee table and read it. After a while, Boss Chen asked me; Zijie; And which one are you from?
I say; You ask the big head! He? There are many stories behind him, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all of them, and he has robbed tombs, as soon as Boss Chen heard the word tomb robbery, he immediately had spirits.
Actually, there is a reason why I said this to him, because most of his conversations with the third uncle were about this topic! And I heard that there is not much left in the world! So they just want to know what they want to do?
Then! The big head walked over, and Boss Chen immediately gave up a place to the side, and then asked; Your name is Big Head? The big head nodded in surprise and asked; How? Do you know me?
Boss Chen took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said to the third uncle; Third brother; I think this kid is good, what do you think? The third uncle looked at me, and he probably thought that I was next to him and affected their conversation!
So I walked away consciously! When I came out of the living room and passed by the study, I felt like I heard a voice inside! I turned around and walked towards the study, and as soon as I entered! I saw that Brother Yang and his younger brother were playing games, so I pulled Brother Yang aside and told him what Boss Chen had done just now.
Brother Yang said; You don't even know him? He is a well-known sand mining master, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the entire industry!
I asked; Does the third uncle do this too? Brother Yang immediately blocked my mouth with his hand, and then said; You whispered, then looked around in surprise, and then spoke slowly;
I'm just suspicious now, but it's very likely that they were in a group, and since Lao Chen came, they often ran out, sometimes going out for two or three days before coming back.
And recently, Jiulong Mountain has been mentioned, I think they want to attack Jiulong Mountain, oh yes! Don't talk about it.
I nodded and asked; Brother Yang; Do you think they're going to take the big heads? Brother Yang looked at his younger brother who was playing hard on the side and said; Maybe it's possible, because a few days ago he said that his people were all in the north and couldn't come for a while, and he asked your third uncle to help him find a few people on the road.
Hear it here! I suddenly had an idea, I just wanted to experience the excitement of tomb robbing with them, so I told Brother Yang about this idea, and I was scolded back, are you crazy? Have you forgotten what happened last night? You haven't had enough of the excitement?
I smiled and walked out of the study, and at this time, I saw the third uncle and they were chatting happily. I walked over, and the third uncle said; Zijie, these days! Datou will accompany us out to do some errands, and you can play with your brother and your brother at home for a few days, and we will only come back before the Qingming Festival.
I groaned, and asked; It's going to Jiulong Mountain, right? The third uncle's face suddenly sank, and he said nonsense; Why am I going to Jiulong Mountain? I retorted; Third Uncle; Don't go! If the uncle comes and asks, you say; How do I answer?
I don't know where you're going! You also know this, that nephew just lied to the uncle, this is unfilial piety, if I tell the truth! This is not obedient to your old man, aren't you embarrassed nephew? Unless?
The third uncle asked; Unless what?
I think it's almost time! If you don't say it, you can't have a chance, so I said; Unless you take me, I want to go too. I saw that the third uncle looked uncomfortable, and then said; This will not work!
You just honestly let me stay at home, and I am not allowed to go anywhere, I saw that the third uncle was so determined, so he said; All right! If only the uncle came early! I'll just say you're going to Jiulong Mountain!
As soon as I turned around and was about to go out, the third uncle grabbed me and said; What do you want?
I see my chance! He sat down and said; Anyway, I know what you're going to do, so why don't you be a favor and take me with you, like that! Now that they are in the same stream! I'm not afraid that others will know!
The third uncle looked at Boss Chen! Then Boss Chen nodded, and the third uncle walked up to me and said; All right! You can go, but you can only watch from the outside?
I got up and said; Then I'm not going! Boss Chen said to the third uncle; Third brother, since the children want to go, don't refuse! Their own people are far more reliable than outsiders.
The third uncle shook his head and said; It's not that I don't want to, but you know it; It's too dangerous to do this, and after doing it this time, I'm already planning to stop doing it!
Boss Chen looked at me, and then persuaded the third uncle, and the big head sitting on the side also said to the third uncle; Third uncle, don't you still have to look for someone outside? So be it! You let Zijie and Ziyang come with me.
I promise the three of us will help you get it done! Just like the little ones to celebrate for you, what do you think? The third uncle shook his head when he heard this, and then Boss Chen applauded repeatedly! While saying; This is a good idea, I see the third brother, don't postpone it!
The third uncle was silent for a long time before nodding and saying; Promise me! Just this once, you are not allowed to touch this aspect in the future! Big Head and I nodded and said; Thank you, Uncle San, we will only experience this time.
With the consent of the third uncle, I pulled Brother Yang out and told him the news, but I didn't expect him to believe it alive or dead, but said; Are you my three-year-old? As far as our family is old, can you say that he is moved?
At this time, I saw the third uncle coming over! He twisted Brother Yang's ear and said; You stinky boy, who do you say? Brother Yang said while begging for mercy; I just don't believe Zijie's words!
The third uncle let go of Brother Yang, and then said; Come here, I'll tell you the specific situation, we walked to the sofa and sat down, the third uncle entered the bedroom, a few minutes later! I saw the third uncle walk out with a file bag!
When he arrived in the living room, the third uncle took out an old yellowed drawing.
Then he said to Boss Chen; This sketch was drawn by two Americans a few years ago, and they found the exact location, but because it was a quicksand tomb, they didn't dare to do it, and I exchanged it for them with a painting and calligraphy from the Tang Dynasty.
Whatever? I hope that our two brothers will join forces in the degree, this sketch I have been studying for a long time, this ancient tomb should be the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The most important thing now is you, you are responsible for the positioning of the dragon. The four of us will take care of the rest, what do you think?
Boss Chen looked at the drawings; He was silent for a long time before he spoke; Didn't you say there are two points? And what about the other one? The third uncle didn't take out any sketches this time, so he simply replied! Tomb of the General of Jiulong Mountain. Boss Chen smiled after hearing this;
I thought your third brother hadn't thought about it? It turns out that you have already planned it, it seems that I did not find the wrong person this time, I hope we can succeed this time, the big head is energetic when he hears it, the third uncle, then these two bring us, right?
The third uncle looked at the big head and scolded; You stinky boy, what is wrong to learn? Do you learn to rob tombs? Brother Yang, who was standing on the side, whispered, I didn't learn from you, the third uncle looked at Brother Yang, and really wanted to slap it, but he still endured it.
The third uncle put away the drawings, and then said to us; You guys prepare well, if it's too late to regret it now, don't wait until you get to the place to trouble me, and find an excuse for Zixun, don't let him know about it.
After arranging everything, the third uncle took Boss Chen to get the tools, we also sorted it out randomly, after dinner, we started to set off, if you want to go to where the third uncle said, you must pass through Jiulong Mountain.
And this is a night when I can't see my fingers, the moon is full of stars, the third uncle drove the van, and soon, I came to the place where we saw the woman that night, at the same time, Brother Yang and I couldn't help but look at the original place, but tonight was very calm.
I didn't see any women, just kept coming from a few strange bird sounds from afar, in a blink of an eye, we have come to the vicinity of Jiulong Mountain, the third uncle drove the car to a remote place and parked the car, and ordered to go down, we got out of the car with tools, and the third uncle said to Boss Chen; They'll be handed over to you! Secret communication.
Boss Chen nodded and led us up the mountain. It's strange to say, tonight is extremely pure, there is no sense of fear, at this time, Boss Chen asked me! Zijie, do you know which team has disappeared, I nodded, everyone in this Kowloon Village knows?
So where did they go? I really don't know this question, Boss Chen continued; In fact, Longmen Ridge in the upper left corner of Jiulong Mountain is where the dragon's lair is located, if I guessed correctly? It should be the underground imperial city at the bottom, and the disappeared troops just became craftsmen who built the imperial city, and in the end they became the first burial troops of the monarch.
According to my preliminary determination, Jiulonggang and Longmenling should be connected, and the underground general's palace and the imperial tomb have naturally become an underground Kyoto, and I can guarantee that this will be the largest underground museum since the beginning of the official period. The big head interjected? You blew it, right?
If that's the case, then I'll go home and write a suicide note to accompany you. He's talking about it! I was in a cold sweat when I heard it, I remember when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school! I often have the same dream, dreaming that above Jiulong Mountain, there are often two dragons fighting in the sky! The lightning and thunder often wake me up.
But dreams are dreams. Why is there such a good point? Why does the third uncle still choose the quicksand tomb in Bailongling? Big Head Road; You should understand how dangerous the structure of the quicksand tomb is, and if you don't get it right, you will even be killed? I don't want to go to the prefecture to report so early, as I said, it is so difficult to move the hukou now, and it will be miserable if you can't move and become a black household.
Boss Chen said with a smile; You don't understand, there is nothing in the underground imperial tomb. It is rumored that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the Three Realms that was mixed into a human war, and the Demon Realm awakened countless unjust souls and devils to participate in the battle in order to rule the human world. At this moment, the Emperor of Heaven took on human form and descended to the earth. and gave King Wu of Zhou, the son of heaven, an arrow.
Before leaving, he told him that if he needed to rescue the soldiers, he could shoot three arrows at the sun. There will be divine soldiers from heaven who will come down to save the world. The half-believing Martial King was still looking at this ordinary arrow and asked; Excuse me, sir, is there anything special about this arrow? I asked for a long time, but no one answered. Only then did King Wu look up at the place where the Emperor of Heaven was standing at that time, but there was no one for a long time.
Later, King Wu rewarded a general with a magic arrow, as far as I know, now this magic arrow is in the quicksand tomb that your third uncle said, otherwise he would not have gone out of the mountain so easily, so no matter what method you use, you must find this arrow, think about your third uncle is also about to retreat, this arrow just happened to be given to him as a gift.
The always suspicious head asked; Are you that kind? Boss Chen smiled and said; People are different, the difference between me and your third uncle is that your third uncle likes to collect, and I like money, so as long as there is an opportunity to make money, I will do it.
I thought about it, good realistic guy.
between words; We have come to Jiulong Mountain, because of last night, so we are very careful to walk every step, only Boss Chen said from time to time; It is really a treasure land of feng shui, with mountains and mountains, water and water, and mutual assistance and complementarity.
Walking along the clearing at the top of the mountain, there is a meadow, and in the low-lying part of the meadow, small pools are formed, and under the illumination of the flashlight, a faint light is emitted. At this moment, a strange sound was heard from a distance, as if something had fallen into the water.
I saw that the big head suddenly stopped, you listen! Something in the water? Boss Chen said; Don't make a fuss, since there is water, there are naturally creatures. Walk well and don't scare yourself.
Then I didn't go far, and what appeared in front of me was some stone carvings, human figures, and the remains of some animal statues. It seems that this is it, and then he circles it on the ground with a flashlight, and says; You guys make me a hole from here, and remember not to be too big, and hit it at a 45-degree angle.
