Section 276 Inverted Fight and Stranger (II)
The young strong man was also stunned when he saw this, and the Taoist priest asked, "This brother, what a handsome light skill!" Listening to your accent, it seems that you are not from Hangzhou, where do you live, you have such skills, why did you fall to such a point? ”
When I saw that the Taoist was still reasonable, my heart was relieved at the moment, and I briefly told him about his experience, and the Taoist nodded and said, "It turns out that you were also harmed by the Qing Demon." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt present, my Taiping Army is recruiting strange people from all over the world in Hangzhou, and we will do great things together, you are young and promising, why don't you go to join the army? The king of heaven is thirsty for talent, and with your ability and courage little brother, you will soon be able to get a good background. ”
I shook my head when I heard this: "I'm not interested in these things that fight and kill, I just want to borrow a few Ming utensils from them, go to the city to exchange some small money, and spend the rest of my life in peace." ”
The Taoist priest nodded and said, "In troubled times, it is also good to be able to be stable. My name is Hongye, I am a Taoist of Yuqingguan in Luofu Mountain, Guangdong, and this strong man is called Huang Daoran, a native of Foshan, Guangdong, and a two Sima in the Taiping Army. Both of us work for the godlord Hong Renji.
Huang Daoran hugged his fists at me and said, "The disciple of Nanyue is angry, and he collided with Brother Li just now, so I hope you won't be surprised." ”
I hurriedly returned the salute and was puzzled: "Since the two of you are both big figures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, why did you come to this Niangniang Temple in the middle of the night?" ”
The Taoist priest smiled: "Little brother, it's funny, the two of us are not big people. It's the god king, but it's a rare and outstanding person in heaven. To tell you the truth, he recently wanted to buy artillery from foreigners, I Hongye Menggan King Heavy Weapon, respect as a guest, there is nothing to repay, I heard that there are a lot of Ming weapons in the tombs of Niangniang Temple, so I came to see it with Brother Huang. ”
Suddenly, the other party whispered: "This is not a glorious thing after all, and I hope that the little brother will keep it secret for the two of us." As for the Ming ware in the cave, there are countless records according to the county annals. I have the right to be the master, and I will leave you with three percent of the Ming weapon, and we will take seventy percent, Brother Huang, what do you think? ”
That Huang Daoran put away the long knife and said with a smile: "The Ming weapon in the cave is not 10,000 catties, but also 8,000 catties." If Brother Li can take it, just take it. ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "I only want to make a small fortune, and I never want to make a big fortune." I took this cloth bag, which can be decorated and go back to change for a few years. For the rest, the two of you can do it yourself. ”
The Taoist priest nodded and said, "The little brother doesn't care about money, he is a man." ”
I said, "You are the men." If it had been another strongman, I am afraid that I would have been dismembered by a knife, where would I still be so stubborn? ”
The three of them laughed.
As soon as the laughter fell, I looked at the big coffin on the shoulder of the Red Leaf Daoist, and wondered: "Dao Chief, aren't you tired of carrying such a heavy thing?" What exactly is the use? ”
Hongye Daoren smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Li, Poor Dao has been fighting for many years, secretly raising military funds for the Ganwang. No matter how big or small the tomb is, no matter how many artifacts there are, I can only fill this coffin at most. My friends in the rivers and lakes gave me a nickname, called 'A Coffin Dao Man'. ”
I saw that the coffin was made of high-quality wood, weighing at least hundreds of catties, and I was immediately surprised: "The strength of the Taoist chief is really amazing!" ”
I was about to find a way to enter through the main entrance, but I heard the Red Leaf Taoist say: "This jack gate was built in the Ming Dynasty, and the mechanism is exquisite, unless you have a key, you can't enter." ”
I hurriedly asked where the key was.
Hongye Taoist muttered: "According to the local county records, the key was stored in the hands of the abbots of Niangniang Temple in previous dynasties. It's a pity that King Gan expelled the monks too early, and I don't know where the abbot went. We have searched every corner of the temple, but we have not been able to find the existence of the key. ”
I hurriedly said, "No keys? How's that to be? ”
Momiji Daoren smiled: "You don't have to have a key to get in. Brother Huang and I dug a grave road a few days ago, leading straight into the cave. I just heard that there are a lot of demons and spirits in this cave, I wonder if Brother Li dares to go in with us to explore? ”
It is said that the old tomb is very weird, but now that it is on this, I can't allow myself to retreat, so I nodded and said: "If you come, you will be safe, let's go, everyone will go in together." ”
Under the guidance of the Momiji Daoren, we went all the way to the more secluded mountain on the other side, passed through a dense forest, and saw a dug hole under the shade of three old locust trees.
The height and width of the thief hole are about a zhang, and there are large and small footprints and turned up dirt all around, it seems that the Taiping army has been eyeing this place for a long time, and this thief hole is definitely not something that one or two people can dig out.
I was so dangerous, if I wanted to swallow the tomb alone when I saw the wealth, don't say that the two masters in front of me, that is, the elite of the Taiping Army in ambush in the dark, can put me to death in an instant.
I don't know why, no one else showed up, could it be that this Red Leaf Daoist really only takes the coffin every time is enough?
The three of them walked deep and shallow, and in a dark cave****** the dim torches dragged out three long figures on the cave walls on both sides, combined with the uneven and convex geological structure on the wall, like three demons constantly twisting their bodies.
"Dao Chief, wait for me!" After walking for a while, Huang Daoran finally couldn't keep up with the pace of the Taoist priest and me, and couldn't help but shout.
The loud voice echoed in the cave, and after a while, there was a strange sound of "poof, poof, puff".
"Don't talk!" Hearing this, the Red Leaf Taoist priest hurriedly drank in ventriloquism, but he was already a step too late.
The bats on the top of the cave that had been inhabiting peacefully were awakened by this sudden sound, and they rushed down densely.
Huang Daoran raised his eyes and saw that they were as big as wild cats, with deflated bellies, as if they hadn't eaten for a long time, and the ferocious appearance of the grinning face made this battle-hardened warrior can't help but tingle his scalp.
"It's a ghost king bat, which specializes in sucking human blood. I didn't expect there to be such a monster in this cave, let's quit the cave first! "The Red Leaf Daoist is well-informed, and immediately saw that these bats are extraordinary, and hurriedly reminded them.
I have seen this ghost king bat in some naturalist records, not only huge in size, but also exclusively eats human blood and brain marrow, very ferocious, I did not expect this rumored creature to be seen in the tomb of Niangniang Temple.
The Red Leaf Daoist knew that he could not hesitate at this time, so he turned around and pulled the two of us on the road when they were going back and forth.
The cave was unusually dark, but since they had already sprinkled small handfuls of rice bran on the ground when they came in earlier, the three of them easily found the right way through the reflection of the rice bran on the light.
After running for a long time, there was a faint light flashing in front of me, and I knew that the exit was close at hand!
However, the top of the cave was full of bats, and the three of them had not taken a few steps before they saw thousands of bats falling from the top of the cave, flapping their ghostly wings. (To be continued.) )
