I shook the pit's shoulder, still unresponsive. Lao Zhao grabbed the wrist of the pit and pinched his pulse and said, "There is still a pulse, I should have fainted." "Then why are you not breathing?" I asked.

"It shouldn't be." Lao Zhao said and put his fingers under the nostrils of the pit and tried it, his face changed, and he quickly knocked the pit to the ground, pinched the nose of the pit with one hand, and the two fingers of one hand pinched out two nearly ten centimeters long from the nostrils of the pit at a speed that I could almost see. "It's dangerous, if you let these bugs get through your nose and into your brain, you're going to die." After saying that, Lao Zhao pressed the pit with his hand, the pit coughed, the whole body woke up with a spasm, just woke up, spit out half of the insect corpse from the mouth, we checked the wounds on the pit again, and took out a few dead mountain crickets from the wounds on the legs and stomach, these insects drilled deep into the wounds, just like the locusts in the water, once they got into the body, it was all kinds of blood sucking, gnawing the internal organs, if you can't take it out, the consequences are unimaginable. Guo Song Jin took the kettle, rinsed the wound for the pit, and applied hemostatic medicine.

I asked how the pit was, and the pit smiled, but didn't speak, it should be that the battle just now was too tragic, and the wounds on his body were still painful, so he couldn't speak. I leaned against the stone monument and asked him to rest. Looking back at Song Jin, who was still carrying the writhing insect ancestor, I pointed to the insect in his hand and asked, "What's going on with this, why don't the other insects dare to come over?" ”

Song Jin raised his hand and looked at the big insect in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Ling, this is like a hostage, what I am catching now is the insect substance." Of course, insects don't know what quality is not qualitative, but the others are afraid of this big insect, I take it, relying on the smell and blood on its body, so that these small ones mistakenly think that I am big, so I dare not come forward. ”

"Can you be reliable?" I asked skeptically.

"At least for now, we should be safe until this big guy dies." Song Jin said. What Song Jin said should be right, at this time, the other ordinary mountain worms have retreated far away, and we are not in danger for the time being.

"Brother Ling, come here." I was talking to Song Jin when I suddenly heard Lao Zhao calling me. When I looked, Lao Zhao was sticking to the stele at this time, using a flashlight to look at the words on the stele.

I walked over, saw him so serious, and asked, "What monument, so serious?" ”

Lao Zhao excitedly pulled me over, pointed to the stone tablet, and said, "Read it out, what is this?" When he spoke, his excited expression was overflowing, and he was a little stumbling.

I have never seen Lao Zhao like this, with curiosity I took a look at the stele, and found that Lao Zhao pointed to the place, which is the eight words of "the beginning of the twilight spring", this is not the seal text on the sheep fat jade seal, it seems that we have come to the right place, with some reasoning, there is also luck in the text, and finally found this ancient tomb hidden in the seal. Lao Zhao grabbed my shoulders with both hands and said excitedly: "I saw it, I saw it!" "Of course, we found it, this is the royal tomb of the Northern Yuan Dynasty." I replied.

Hearing me say this, Lao Zhao let go of my shoulders, silently walked to the stele, knelt on the ground with an ordinary sound, and cried loudly, crying while kept shouting: "Master". Although I have known Lao Zhao for so long, I have never seen Lao Zhao so sad, Lao Zhao must have found the ancient tomb, and then remembered the teacher who passed away for this, I hurriedly ran over to comfort Lao Zhao: "Brother Zhao, don't be sad, you should be happy, we have finally completed Mr. Zhang's will, and let his old man's spirit in the sky be at ease." ”

I don't know what to say, I don't know how to comfort people, I am not very good at doing this kind of thing, "Since we are all here, let's find the treasure in this tomb, take it back and put it in front of his old man's spirit, and make a jade incense burner." "I didn't know what to say as I spoke, so I started babbling. Hearing me say this, Lao Zhao, who was still crying just now, actually laughed, this 180-degree turn made me feel inexplicable, this Lao Zhao took the wrong medicine, crying and laughing.

Lao Zhao held my shoulder and said, "Brother Ling said with a smile, how can this treasure in the tomb be used as an incense burner, haha." ”

Listening to Lao Zhao's words, it seemed that he had long known what was in this tomb, and he had come specifically to take such a treasure. Looking at it this way, everything is very clear, why at the beginning, when we entered the ancient tomb, Lao Zhao did not have too much excitement, and even retreated several times on the way, and in the previous journey, Lao Zhao did almost nothing, and he did not look like an experienced tomb robber at all, but like a tourist who came to travel, all because we couldn't determine at that time whether the ancient tomb we were in was not a hidden tomb in the seal, in other words, if it was not this ancient tomb, then the treasure that Lao Zhao was looking for, I won't get it.

What kind of treasure is it that makes Lao Zhao so desperate, so that the treasures in other ancient tombs are eclipsed, I am afraid that only Lao Zhao's master and Lao Zhao know, so now, only Lao Zhao knows.

I asked tentatively, "What is the treasure in this tomb?" Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, Lao Zhao's face changed, and his whole expression suddenly became serious. Brother Ling still doesn't know some things, in fact, there are some things you know, you don't know, there is no difference to you at all, why do you know too much, I can only say that this trip will definitely not let you two come in vain. After saying this, Lao Zhao actually walked to the stone tablet by himself, and then looked at it.

For Lao Zhao's answer, I am actually very unhappy in my heart, although he brought me and the pit to the tomb, but how to say that the location of this tomb is also found by me, of course, there is a lot of luck in it, if I don't find this tomb, where will he talk about what treasure. And we have lived and died together for so long, and there is still something to hide from us, it is too uninteresting, if it goes on like this, how can we cooperate with him with confidence, and sell it to us one day. The more I think about it, the more unpleasant it becomes, although I am not a quick temper, but there are some things that I will never give up if I don't get to the bottom of it. If Lao Zhao continues to hide it from us like this, I don't mind if I and I quit the pit immediately and return the same way, even if it is for nothing, I can't tolerate such an expiration.

Thinking like this, I walked towards Lao Zhao in front of the stele, intending to ask what was going on. Before I could speak, Lao Zhao suddenly turned his head and said to me, "I know what you want to ask, but Brother Ling, I want to ask you, don't you have your own secret?" Would you rather share everything with others, even your best brother? All I can say is that these secrets of mine are harmless to you, and the reason why I don't say them is because the stakes are high, and you will know them when it is time to know. I, Lao Zhao, am not a treacherous person, if I wanted to do something to you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have to wait until now. Don't ask again! ”

As soon as Lao Zhao's words came out, I also had to think about it, it is true that everyone has their own secrets, even if it is a relationship between me and the pit, we can't say that all the secrets are shared. And as Lao Zhao said, if he wanted to do something to us, we wouldn't have lived until now, there is still a certain gap between our strength and him, in other words, this also carries the meaning of threatening me, if I continue to ask, maybe I will really be killed.

"Okay, then I'll believe you again, I hope I'm not wrong." I said to Lao Zhao, on the one hand, out of helplessness, and on the other hand, I also understand Lao Zhao's difficulties. Since I first met the teacher, Lao Zhao really hasn't done anything to be sorry for me, every time the two of us trade, Lao Zhao can suffer losses and not get wet, so in business Lao Zhao is a special real partner for me, and therefore the two of us gradually get deeper and deeper, which is why we have the experience of going to the grave together today. Lao Zhao smiled at me, didn't say anything, turned around and continued to read the words on the stone tablet. I stepped forward and looked at the stele with him with a flashlight, hoping to find some answers from the stele.

The text on the stele is dense, and I actually have a headache for this kind of inscription. Judging from the inscription, it is not wrong that this is the tomb of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, including the content of the inscription, which echoes what we saw in the murals of the tomb before. As we speculated, this tomb was not the tomb of the prince himself, but a tomb he built for his family. At the beginning, this Baqin Timur, that is, General Wu Si, in order to be able to belong after his death, collected a large number of people to build a mausoleum for himself here. The construction of the mausoleum required a lot of labor, and when the labor of the local people could not be satisfied, the prince obtained a large number of prisoners of war through the war, and these prisoners of war were also sent to the mountains to build a mausoleum for him, and when the construction of the mausoleum was about to be completed, these people were transported to the distant forest in batches and planned, and the killing was not nearby to prevent anyone from using this as a basis to discover the location of the tomb. This account reminds us of the legend that Uncle Oroqen told us about the killing of a large number of migrant workers in Yi Xinglin when we met in the forest, and it is very likely that the migrant workers and prisoners of war in the tomb of General Wu Si were killed.

Even so, in order to prevent his tomb from being discovered and excavated, General Wu Si sent people to all parts of the country to secretly search for all kinds of craftsmen, especially craftsmen who knew how to use the tricks, and brought them to the tomb by tying or tricking, and ordered them to design and make sophisticated anti-theft mechanisms for the royal tomb, and then these craftsmen were also killed by General Wu Si. As the so-called "Luo Huaxia's skillful craftsman, with this, it became a clever opportunity, and he died here, which is unknown to outsiders." ”

And General Wu Si built a family-style tomb, and the use of this mausoleum was not only for him, but also for his children and grandchildren to be buried here, not so much a mausoleum as a huge cemetery. In order to allow their descendants to find the location of the cemetery, the information of the mausoleum was hidden in a jade seal, and the seal was passed down from generation to generation, in other words, this seal is the location of their family's ancestral grave. It's just that this seal didn't know how to toss, and later fell into the hands of a prince of the Ming Dynasty, which may be an eternal secret.
