Chapter 12: The Tomb of the Immortal Marquis
The most awesome thermal weapon I've ever touched is a gun, and explosives have really only been seen on TV, and this thing is still very far from the lives of ordinary people, except for things like artillery fireworks, of course.
Tan Jian said: "It should be the tomb robbers who did it." "There is a saying among the people, saying that there are thirty-six lines, tomb robbery is king, the wind of tomb robbery has been around since ancient times, and the doorway is also very exquisite, and various techniques and rules are quite cumbersome. Of course, now the business of tomb robbing, just like Zhou Xuanye's alchemy, has also interrupted the inheritance in those war years and the ten-year catastrophe, and there are very few people who really understand those magical techniques and exquisiteness. Now those tomb robbers, in the words of ancient times, are not in the stream, have no skills, and rely entirely on brute force.
Since Sun Dianying bombed Cixi's mausoleum, he created such a set of methods of bombing tombs, and now many tomb robbers have begun to go to the mountains to blow up the tombs, and the structure of the ancient tombs has been completely destroyed, which is really hateful.
Of course, I don't know how to rob tombs, these are all things Tan Jian told me, and he also made quite precise speculations based on the situation in front of him. First of all, the green hair did not come for nothing, it must have been impacted, or there was a problem with the tomb, which caused the corpse to change.
He estimated that there should be a tomb robber, and after entering the tomb, he collided with the hairy corpse, and was chased and killed by the green hair, and used explosives in a hurry. It is estimated that the tomb robber was very clever, and when he saw that the green hair could not be blown up, he led it into the mud pit.
Zhou Xuanye and Ke Xiangu came in to search for the corpse and turn the mountain, and for some reason, they ran to this Wanling Pit. Those who rob tombs are already unsightly, and they are all extremely vicious people who are not afraid of ghosts and gods, and they don't even let go of the dead.
Rao is no matter how powerful Zhou Xuanye is, he is not a King Kong body like Zimao, under explosives, what is the difference between him and us ordinary people.
Tan Jian talked to me and Tianran about these tomb robbers, and looked at the watch on his wrist, he originally planned to set up camp, but he was probably anxious to see the situation of the green hair, so he said that he would rush overnight tonight, so as to find Zhou Xuanye and them as soon as possible.
We
The three of them hurriedly cleaned up their dirty bodies and ate something, so they didn't dare to delay more, and as usual, Tan Jian led the way in front, and we followed him. According to the direction calculated by Tan Jian, if he said that there was no accident, he should be able to reach his destination at about two o'clock in the morning tonight.
Next to the water depression is the soft mud overgrown with mosses, and a short distance on the shore, there is more than one person tall artemisia grass, mosquitoes and flies flying, and it is pitch black in all directions, and the only light source is the flashlight in our hands.
I don't know how deep this good grass is, but I feel that the further I go, the more mosquitoes and flies there are, flying all over the sky, buzzing, making people very irritable.
In the midst of this humming, I faintly heard a small moan.
I'm a good hearing, so the sound was subtle, but it didn't escape my ears. I couldn't help but stop, brace my ears, and make a fine distinction in the buzzing sound of mosquitoes and flies.
"Hmm...... Well. The voice sounded like someone had their mouth covered.
Seeing that I wasn't leaving, the natural dumb in front of me stopped, and looked sideways at me.
I pointed to my ear and motioned for him to listen.
The voice was intermittent, moaning twice, pausing for a while, and then, as if to attract our attention, it suddenly became urgent, and the voice was slightly louder, and at this moment, I and I immediately determined the direction of the person, Tan Jian didn't say a word, and followed towards that position.
This place is very deep, we have flashlights, and the visual range is also very limited, and after following the sound of thirty or so steps, Tan Jian's footsteps paused suddenly, and then he said, "Here." As he spoke, he used his dagger to cut down the surrounding artemisia grass.
As he moved, the surrounding artemisia grass fell one after another, and at the same time, a person lying upside down was faintly visible on the ground, and his mouth kept making a smacking sound.
At this moment, we are still very close to this person, and the light is up close, and the moment I see his situation clearly, I only feel numb all over my body, and goosebumps are rising.
I saw that this man was wrapped in figurines and tape, and his coat seemed to have been ripped off, wearing only a pair of underwear and a tattered coat that could barely be avoided, and a pair of shoes on his feet, and in addition, there were all kinds of insects left on his body.
The soil is already soft and wet, and in the summer, there are countless insects of all kinds. On his bare legs, there were many locusts, snails, ants, and a large fat green worm, not to mention the rest of the mosquitoes and flies.
The man was tied with his hands and feet tied with ropes, and he fell to the ground and could only roll and move. He had obviously rolled before, so there was artemisia grass next to him that had been overwhelmed by him, and the bare skin was either mud or scratches, which was disgusting.
Tan Jian frowned, reached out and tore the sealing glue on this person's mouth, and in an instant, this person shouted: "Help me, I'll tell you where the underground palace is." ”
The dungeon? I subconsciously said, "What dungeon?" ”
This person gasped for breath, his eyes revealed horror, and his expression changed when he heard this, and he said, "Aren't you here to fight?" "I understand the word inverted bucket, Zhou Xuanye told me that this is the most basic black word in the tomb robbery circle, that is, the meaning of tomb robbery, and it is also called digging mushrooms or catching salted fish.
I immediately understood that this man was a tomb robber, and thought that we were also tomb robbers, and wanted to use the information of the underground palace in his mouth to let us save him.
I was quite sympathetic to his situation just now, but now that I know what he is doing, I suddenly feel that this is really retribution, to dig other people's graves, but now I am tied up here, covered with insects, and I deserve it. But it quickly dawned on me, if this man was a grave robber, who was the one who tied him up?
Seeing that we didn't answer, this man struggled on the ground for a while, and hurriedly said: "The three eldest brothers are righteous, I, Li Quanshan, will definitely not forget the great kindness of the three, and if there is anything to happen to the three in the future, I will definitely saddle the horse and ...... behind" He didn't finish speaking, Tan Jian said without annoyance: "Long-winded." ”
Immediately afterwards, Tan Jian raised his legs, ignored the insects and ants on this person, stepped on his chest, half-bent over, and said nonchalantly: "Save you, it's simple, but you have to answer me a few questions first, if you have anything to hide, I will send you to reincarnate as soon as possible." "His posture, people who don't know him, will definitely be fooled, looking at it with an indifferent and murderous energy, I don't know, I think it's an underworld leader.
This person is about thirty years old, and he is also a personal elf, knowing that he is still in the mountains in the middle of the night, even if he is not a peer, he is definitely not an ordinary person, so he was frightened by Tan Jian like this, and suddenly nodded like pounding garlic: "I said, I said, as long as I know, I will say everything." Can you untie me first? ”
Tan Blade glanced at him with a smile: "What do you say?" ”
The man swallowed and retreated, "Then can you clean up these things on me, it's so uncomfortable." ”
When Tan Jian heard this, he gave me a look, I would care, and immediately went to clean up the insects on this person's body, and while cleaning up, Tan Jian asked unhurriedly: "Who tied you here?" ”
Li Quanshan said: "Four men and one woman, the peers of the inverted fight, I don't know each other, I just happened to bump into them, and they tied them up, and I robbed them of their equipment or something." ”
Four men and one woman?
I immediately thought of the five men last night, and it seemed that we had guessed correctly, those people were also tomb robbers, but judging by their equipment and momentum, I was afraid that they were not those loose thieves who did not enter the stream and dug holes with shovels. However, these five people are inevitably too ruthless, and in such a place, they ripped off people's clothes, tied them up, and threw them in this artemisia meadow, if this person didn't meet us, then after a day and a night, he would definitely be sucked dry by the grasshoppers and grass ticks in this place, although this did not kill people directly, but it was not much different from killing people with hands.
I remember that the leader was still a woman, and this woman was too vicious.
Tan Jian said again: "Why do they treat you like this? ”
Li Quanshan sighed and said: "My peers are wrongdoers, they asked me about the situation in the underground palace, and I knew a little bit, and they didn't believe it, so they fixed me like this." ”
Tan Jian was thoughtful when he heard this: "You are all here for the underground palace?" What treasures are in the dungeon? You're the only one who robs the grave? ”
Li Quanshan sighed when he heard this, and said of course not, it takes at least two people to rob the tomb, only those who are really desperate and desperate can dare to go to the tomb alone, no one releases, no one responds to reinforcement, as long as there is a little accident, people have to be buried alive.
Li Quanshan came with a total of three people, and there are many ancient tombs in this Ten Thousand Tombs, but in fact, most of them have been dug up by tomb robbers from all over the ages. But there is only one tomb, but it has not been moved, that tomb is called Xianhou Palace, it is said to be a Han tomb, and a foreign surname is buried in the open face.
This Hou Ye liked to cultivate immortals and practice Taoism during his lifetime, and the underground palace where he was buried was arranged by many powerful people at that time, although the specifications were not large, but it was very strange inside, and it was impossible to get out if you entered.
But recently, there was a small geological activity in this area, and the rest of the place was fine, but the structure of the Xianhou Tomb was damaged, which greatly reduced the protection inside, so that many tomb robbers who had heard of the name of the Xianhou Tomb came here to make luck.
But although the underground palace was destroyed, the things inside were really strange, the three of them didn't have a chance to go deeper, and the other two companions died tragically, Li Quanshan ran out with all his strength, but he didn't want to meet those people as soon as he came out, and he was tied up here waiting for death.
