As twilight falls on the hillside, two dark shadows sneak through the narrow mountain path. Those two black shadows are Yao Gang and Zhou Hua.

Yao Gang looked nervous and asked Zhou Hua as he walked: "Zhou Hua, are you sure you heard correctly?" ”

Compared with Yao Gang, Zhou Hua seemed much calmer, and he said calmly: "Teacher Yao, you have seen this ruby hidden on my body, do you think this may be fake?" ”

When Yao Gang heard Zhou Hua say this, his heart immediately settled down a lot, and he was thinking about the idea of dispersing Zhang Han's soul after getting the short sword, and then he would never have peace.

It turned out that when Zhou Hua was following Qian Yiduo, who robbed the tomb, that night, he accidentally got a ruby left behind when Qian Yiduo left in a panic. Although he did not know the origin of this ruby, he knew that since this ruby came from an ancient tomb, it must be worth a lot.

Zhou Hua quietly collected the ruby and returned to his dormitory at school. He lay on the bed, recalled all the scenes when Qian Yiduo robbed the tomb, and had an idea in his heart: lure Yao Gang to the ancient tomb, unknowingly imprisoned him in the ancient tomb, and let Yao Gang starve to death to avenge Zhang Han's death.

The next day, when Zhou Hua decided to go to Li Bing and them alone, he used his words to get a lot of money to steal and dig the ancient tomb, which could be used to formulate a well-thought-out plan for the murder of Yao Gang. But unexpectedly, when he was about to knock on the door, he heard the conversation of several people in the room, and accidentally knew that this ruby turned out to be the ornament on a short sword in the general's tomb.

Zhou Hua hurriedly quietly returned to the school, and after some deliberation, a well-thought-out murder plan came to his mind.

At dinner today, Zhou Hua came to Yao Gang's single dormitory. He said to Yao Gang mysteriously: "Teacher Yao, I have something that I want you to help me see if it's worth it, but you have to promise me first, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential." ”

Yao Gang saw Zhou Hua like this, and his heart was very strange, he smiled and agreed: "Zhou Hua, although I am still your teacher, we are about the same age, and we usually have such a good relationship, we are all like brothers." You have more than half a year to go, and you will most likely stay in school, and we will be colleagues at that time. If you have anything to say, I promise not to tell anyone about it. ”

Zhou Hua locked the door of Yao Gang's dormitory, took out something from his close-fitting jacket pocket, and carefully placed it in front of Yao Gang.

"Ruby", Yao Gang exclaimed in surprise: "Zhou Hua, where did you get this?" If it's true, it should be worth a lot of money. ”

Zhou Hua said, "Teacher Yao, you can help me see if this ruby is real." I'm alone, I'm not sure. ”

Yao Gang took the ruby, looked at the light for a long time, and said enviously: "That's right, this should be a real ruby." Zhou Hua, where did you get this kid from? If you have a chance to make a fortune, you won't call me? ”

Zhou Hua pressed his index finger to his mouth, "shhhh ”

Zhou Hua said mysteriously: "Teacher Yao, the night before yesterday, I was so bored in the dormitory alone, I wanted to sit and relax in the small hotel where Li Bing and the others lived opposite. Who would have expected that before I entered the small hotel, I saw that Qian Yiduo sneakily slipped out of the small hotel quietly, and he couldn't stop looking around. I was curious to see what he was going to do. ”

Yao Gang frowned and said, "Zhou Hua, you got this ruby from the ancient tomb, right?" ”

Zhou Hua asked in surprise, "Teacher Yao, that's right, how did you know?" ”

Yao Gang said proudly: "Among the five people opposite, I knew from the small talk that Qian Yiduo turned out to be a tomb robber. Since you have discovered his secret whereabouts, and now you have obtained this ruby, I guess that there are many ancient tombs scattered in the hill opposite us, and Qian Yiduo must have discovered something, and he quietly went to rob the tomb. ”

Yao Gang rolled his eyes and asked with a puzzled face, "Zhou Hua, can you tell me how you got this ruby?" Could it be that Qian Yiduo made you find out when he robbed the tomb? Did he give you a gem and try to gag you? ”

Zhou Hua said in a low voice: "Teacher Yao, I secretly followed Qian Yiduo up the mountain. Seeing that Qian Yiduo dug a grave tunnel, he climbed out of the tomb soon after, and was about to enter the tomb again with a big bag. Unexpectedly, I sneezed inadvertently, and just when I was afraid that Qian Yiduo would find out, I didn't expect him to throw down those tomb robbery tools and run away. ”

"I wondered why he had run away all of a sudden. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was illegal to rob tombs, so he quietly went to rob tombs at night alone. The sneeze I accidentally sneezed must have scared him so much that he thought he had been spotted robbing the grave, and he quickly ran away. ”

"When he fled, I found this gem where he was. Yesterday afternoon, I wanted to explore the truth of Qian Yiduo, but I unexpectedly heard a conversation between several of them. ”

"It turned out that this ruby was an ornament on a short sword in the ancient tomb, which fell from Qian Yiduo in a panic. He had been regretting it, complaining that he had not gotten any of the treasures in the tomb. ”

"Isn't that Zhang Yuanshan a Taoist priest? After listening to Qian Yiduo's description, he said that the short sword in the ancient tomb has a strong power to ward off evil spirits. As long as you hold this ancient short sword, if you encounter a ghost or evil spirit, this short sword will automatically come out of its sheath, scattering the soul of the demon and evil, and it will no longer be able to make waves. ”

Yao Gang was fascinated when he heard this, sighed and said, "I see, I've been so strange." Those few people seem to have a lot of backgrounds. Zhao Wan'er, a beautiful woman at a young age, turned out to be the chairman of a well-known real estate company, and that Li Bing was actually a graduate student in archaeology at Nanjing University. ”

Among the group, there are also tomb robbers Qian Yiduo and Taoist priest Zhang Yuanshan. I've always suspected that the purpose of the gathering was for the purpose of robbing the tomb. ”

Zhou Hua said mysteriously: "Teacher Yao, I also overheard a big secret from them. In the past two days, they have not acted, they are just watching the wind. If it's safe and no one calls the police, they'll re-enter the tomb tomorrow night and steal all the treasures. ”

Yao Gang stared at Zhou Hua and said, "Boy, I guessed your thoughts. Do you want to get ahead of them tonight and kill those treasures without you knowing? ”

Zhou Hua smiled and said: "Horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no foreign wealth and no wealth." Teacher Yao, if you get those treasures in the ancient tomb, do you still need to work hard? Those riches can be used for us to study abroad, and we can enjoy the wealth of the world for a lifetime. ”

Yao Gang became alert and asked suspiciously, "Zhou Hua, everyone understands this truth." But what I don't understand is, why did you tell me this big secret? ”

Zhou Hua said hehehe: "Teacher Yao, don't tell lies in front of real people. I admit that everyone is greedy, and everyone wants to keep that treasure to themselves. So, I didn't tell you this secret yesterday, I was originally going to do it myself. It's just that because the time is so tight, they have to do it tomorrow night, and the only time left for me is tonight. ”

"There's just one biggest problem that I can't do alone. First, there is no security, at least there must be someone watching the wind from above; Two, I'm a little fat, and I can barely get through that thief hole, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hold things. Now do you understand why I'm asking you for something? Mr. Yao, although you are taller than me, you are very thin. We cooperate, I answer from above, and you go down to get the baby. ”

Yao Gang hesitated for a long time, as if he believed Zhou Hua's words, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhou Hua and said, "Okay, Zhou Hua, we will cooperate once and get rich together." But I have one condition, except for the equal sharing of wealth, the ancient short sword must belong to me. As you know, I usually like cultural relics, and I blush when I see other people's collections. ”

Zhou Hua said briskly: "Okay, Mr. Yao, just do as you say." Except for the equal division of the treasure, the short sword is yours. ”

After the two made an appointment, they had a simple dinner, and then took the necessary gadgets such as flashlights and left the school gate one after the other.

In the recess of the hill where no one was around, the two began to meet, and seeing that the sky was darkening, under the leadership of Zhou Hua, they quietly hid themselves in front of the general's tomb one after another.

Not far away, a ghostly black shadow quietly followed the two and hid in a grove of groves not far from the general's tomb.
