Chapter 18: Barren Mountains and Caves
At the foot of Wuyi Mountain, surrounded by mountains, a place surrounded by mountains on all sides, a steamed bun hill in the middle, like a huge tomb, a stream of clear water in front of it, such as a jade belt entwined through. If there is a dragon hunting master to see, will definitely admire the feng shui treasure here, in the east of a ruins there is a strange octagonal dry well, on the side of a thousand catties of boulders engraved with runes rolled down to the side, the dry well floated out of a black skeleton-shaped black mist, revealing incomparably deep and terrifying......
Liu Xiaoge wore a prospecting lamp, a denim suit, and a hiking bag on his back, staring at the weird dry well in front of him sweating profusely under the scorching sun, shivering all over, but fortunately, the black skeleton mist was exposed to the scorching sun and gradually disappeared without a trace. In front of him stood a woman with a bumpy figure, this woman's name was Li Xinwen, and she was Liu Xiaoge's younger sister. Li Xinwen is fully armed, with short ear-length hair, a beautiful face, a realistic version of Laura's posture, and her dark eyes reveal incomparable calmness.
If you ask what Liu Xiaoge and Li Xinwen are doing now, they are not full of food and rushed out to camp and adventure. Because in addition to being alumni of such and such a university, the two of them also have a common part-time job, nicknamed Taoshake. In the Turkish dialect, it is called, Tufuzi, and in layman's terms, it is a tomb robber.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoge was very uneasy in his heart, because this time they were not just two people, but surrounded by more than a dozen people, pointing a black hole at the two of them. He knew that there was no way back now, and besides, the little monkey was still in their hands, and they couldn't retreat, so it seemed that this tomb was necessary. This little monkey is Liu Xiaoge's iron buddy, how can he not save his brother if he is in trouble, hey!
Li Xinwen quickly laid the rope knot, didn't even say hello, grabbed the rope and jumped towards the dry well. Liu Xiaoge knew that this girl was violent, but looking at the woman's impatient action, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, how impatient are you, will you go down to the next tomb without saying a word or exploring the cave?
Looking at the unkind eyes of these gun-wielding men, Liu Xiaoge also ventured into the dry well. When the figure went down about ten meters, the light in the dry well was already very dim, Liu Xiaoge turned on the searchlight on his head and looked around. I was a little nervous when I just went down, and I just wanted to get out of the muzzle of those black holes, so I slipped down a little fast.
Now Liu Xiaoge looked up and saw that the entrance of the cave was only the size of a basin, and when he looked around, he found that the shaft was all made of bluestone bricks, looking at Li Wenxin who was parked not far away, Liu Xiaoge asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?" What's new? ”
Li Wenxin stretched out her hand and groped for the bluestone engraved with runes, sniffed it before reaching her nose, observed it carefully, was beautiful and tight, and said worriedly: "These bluestones are soul suppression stones, they are cold in the hand, and they have been invaded by yin qi for at least a thousand years, this tomb is not easy to go down!" ”
Liu Xiaoge was terrified when he heard it, although he was a Taoist heirloom, and he had seen a lot of water and yin houses, but when it came to going to the tomb, the hanging coffin burial was not counted, this was the first time to go to the tomb, and many places lacked experience.
Listening to Li Xinwen's analysis, she couldn't help but feel a little hairy in her heart, and Li Xinwen continued to slide down. Liu Xiaoge didn't dare to be alone, and followed closely, and the two of them slid down for another five or six meters, the more cold they went, the heavier the cold became, and they were still sweating profusely just now, but now they entered the ice cellar. Li Xinwen reached out and took out a cold firework from her waist and lit it. The crimson firelight illuminated the cave wall, and Li Xinwen threw it away, and the cold fireworks fell towards the dark cave below.
About a second or so, there was a muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and through the light of the cold fireworks, Liu Xiaoge estimated the distance, and it was estimated that it would be the end after about ten meters. Li Xinwen had already taken the lead in sliding down, and it didn't take long for Liu Xiaoge to reach the bottom of the dry well. Li Xinwen began to carefully observe the traces of age at the bottom of the dry well.
While observing, he said to himself, "This trace is very old, and it is not what I expected." This dry well is a disguise, in fact, this dry well is a robbery hole, but this robbery hole seems to have been dug a long time ago, and it has been sealed by a professional master, which makes it even more obvious that the origin of the tomb is not simple. It is impossible to tell when the hole was excavated, but it is estimated that it was at least a few hundred years ago. ”
Liu Xiaoge was very surprised when he heard this: "The cave thief hundreds of years ago, you weren't joking with me." Old target: These people are going to dig up an ancient tomb that may have been stolen hundreds of years ago? That's. ”
Li Xinwen glanced at Liu Xiaoge dissatisfiedly and said: "This robbery hole is more than a few hundred years ago, but it is still unknown whether this ancient tomb was stolen more than a few hundred years ago, and it does not mean that this ancient tomb has been stolen and dug up as soon as you see the robbery hole." ”
Liu Xiaoge was so deflated that he didn't dare to speak, because what Li Xinwen said did make sense. Turning to observe the bottom of the dry well thief cave, he found that the space here was quite spacious, but it was only about ten meters, Liu Xiaoge glanced back and forth, and immediately found that the soil in the corner not far away seemed to be different. Before Liu Xiaoge could take action, Li Xinwen had already pulled out the sapper shovel and shoveled a few shovels against the slightly different color soil layer, and after the soil layer was dug up, the bottomless thief hole hidden behind it was revealed.
Liu Xiaoge looked around again, and for the first time admired the tomb robbery technique, although the tomb robber was not disgraceful. However, this burrowing technique is indeed not good, and after digging for hundreds of years, the cave is still intact and there is no sign of collapse. Before Liu Xiaoge finished sighing, Li Xinwen had already drilled half of her head into the cat's waist and went in to investigate.
Liu Xiaoge hurriedly grabbed her, and he also listened to the little monkey and his grandfather tell the story of tomb robbery. Although I am not very familiar with the tomb robbery industry, I have some of my own judgment, and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I don't know how many years this cave has been closed, it may be poisonous, we still bring gas masks to the safety point." ”
Li Xinwen disappreciatively grabbed the soil she had just dug up and threw it to Liu Xiaoge and said, "Look at this soil quality, forget it, you won't look at the soil." The soil is very fresh, and it is completely different from the surrounding soil, which indicates that someone brought in from the outside not long ago to temporarily seal the cave. ”
Liu Xiaoge was a little surprised and said: "Since you still want to dig it, why are you temporarily closed?" And since the old target has already gone in, what are you looking for us to do? Li Xinwen rolled her eyes and didn't bother to answer these mentally retarded questions, tomb robbery is a technical job, not everyone has the ability to enter the tomb, although the old target is a veteran, but there are also mechanisms that he can't solve.
Therefore, there have been many factions of tomb robbers since ancient times, and each sect has its own unique skills. The most famous are, of course, the four gates of official thieves: touching gold, hair hills, moving mountains, and royal mountains. Of course, in addition to these four gates, there are many folk tomb robber gangs, such as Lao Jiumen, which are very famous. But where the famous town has been inherited for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, each faction has its own unique skills, and naturally it has its own shortcomings.
As a result, there will also be cooperation between the major tomb robbing sects, and generally these people can cooperate with the tombs above the princely level, or even the imperial tombs. Liu Xiaoge is just a fledgling rookie, Li Xinwen was not interested in explaining so much to him, but fortunately she kept silent, and crawled into the thief hole.
Liu Xiaoge didn't intend to be bored, so he went in, and immediately found that what Li Xinwen said was right. Because there are traces of refurbishment and reinforcement in many places, because the wooden frames erected in many places are actually plywood, there must have been no such material hundreds of years ago.
It's no fun to crawl through such a low, damp thief hole. If it weren't for the eye-catching shadow in front of him, Liu Xiaoge estimated that he would definitely not last long. The surrounding area is cold and cold, which makes people panic. It was pitch black except for the direction of the searchlight, and the robbers were so low that they could only bend forward, and some of the low-end could only crawl.
I don't know how long I tossed like this, and when Liu Xiaoge felt that his heart was about to collapse, Li Xinwen suddenly stopped. There was a puzzled sound, and then Li Xinwen's figure disappeared in front of her in a flash. Liu Xiaoge was in a hurry, in the dark thief hole before and after, he was not willing to be alone.
Quickly quickened his pace, crawled forward quickly for five or six meters, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and felt the oppression above his head disappear, as if he had entered a spacious place, and the searchlight looked around, and it turned out to be in a cave space. Liu Xiaoge stood up cautiously and moved his muscles. started looking for Li Xinwen again, but fortunately Li Xinwen did not go far.
was observing something in the cave not far away, and Liu Xiaoge quickly wanted to get up. Suddenly, it seemed that he stepped on something under his feet, and there was a click, and the whole person was tripped up, and he lost his balance in an instant and fell to the ground. This fall was very sudden, Liu Xiaoge was carrying heavy equipment on his back, his chest was stuffy from the equipment, and he turned over uncomfortably to see what tripped him.
Looking back, a miserable white human hand appeared in front of Liu Xiaoge's eyes, to be precise, a skull arm, and he shrank his legs in fright, and moved a few meters backwards. If you look closely, it is a dead man, I don't know how long he has been dead, the corpse has turned into white bones, and the death is very strange.
Looking at the posture of stretching out his hand, it seems to be crawling towards the entrance of the thief cave, but unfortunately this person can no longer climb the mouth of the thief hole. died forever in this underground cave, Liu Xiaoge calmed his beating heart, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief. Li Xinwen behind her came a scream, followed by the sound of the pistol safety being pulled apart.
Liu Xiaoge was startled again, turned over, reached out and took out the pistol hanging from his waist, the pistol was in his hand, he was a little calm, and looked in the direction of Li Xinwen, and found that Li Xinwen had regained her composure and was inserting the pistol back into her waist. At the same time, he made a gesture to Liu Xiaoge to calm down, Liu Xiaoge took small steps, came to Li Xinwen and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
