Chapter 11 Tempting Fragrance I have only heard people say before that climbing high and looking far away, enjoying the sunrise and sunset, is something that must be experienced once in this life. At this time, looking at this beautiful picture that you will never get bored of no matter how you look at it, the tiredness on your body seems to be swept away in an instant, and the whole person is radiant and extremely energetic.

Xiu'er leaned into my arms in a daze, and her pupils reflected the gradually shrinking sun in the sky, flashing with moving light. At our feet, we can see the mountains at the foot of the endless low peaks, the tumbling sea of clouds and waves are slowly dyed bright red due to the approach of the setting sun, and it looks like a sea of red.

In the midst of the light, the rainbow looms like arches. With such magnificent natural scenery, it is no wonder that so many people are tired of the tiring sport of mountaineering. With the formation of this scene, God seemed to feel that something was missing, and he waved the brush in his hand, and quickly sketched a wonderful picture of three immortals descending to the world on a crane in the mist between the sea of clouds and the sky.

A series of surprises made anyone who was lucky enough to witness it at this moment be fascinated, and the shock that penetrated the soul suddenly made people extremely happy.

Half an hour later, the sun finally completely concealed its body, the disc-like moon quietly showed its head, and the stars began to flash, gradually brightening, like a group of flowers surrounding the moon. Before we knew it, the three of us had been staring for more than an hour, and finally it was the cold wind that pulled us back to reality.

Xiu'er and we found a low shelter on the rock, and while setting up a tent, she said with emotion: "Do you think there are really gods in the world?" Is it really just a masterpiece of nature? ”

Kuroko smiled lightly, "The theory of ghosts and gods has existed since the beginning of this land with human footprints. So far, no one has been able to confirm whether it is true or not, and it cannot be said that there is none, nor can it be said that there is. The ancients tended in this respect to divide the whole world into three equal parts, heaven, earth, and hell. For me, since human beings do exist, it is better to believe in what they exist than to believe in what they do not have. As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something again, and added, "But in this world, ghosts and gods are not terrible, and they will not harm you for no reason." What is terrible is the human heart, there are thousands of kinds of human nature, and it is these different human natures such as greed, cruelty, or kindness, etc., that have led to the battles, strife and killing that will never be broken in human history! ”

I listened to these words and exclaimed, "Kuroko, you said a lot today, it's really rare!" ”

Kuroko sighed, "Yes, since I was with you, I have also realized the change in myself, but this is a good change, not a bad thing. ”

Xiu'er echoed, "That's right, besides, what Kuroko said is very right, human nature is the most terrifying." For example, if you look at the lights on the cliffs in the woods below, they are not desperate to take risks in such a dangerous environment for the sake of that treasure, and they are all trying to find the location of the ancient tomb first. ”

"That's greed!"

When I heard this word, I suddenly remembered what Datou said about the seven greatest sins of human nature when I was a farmer in northern Shaanxi: arrogance, jealousy, laziness, anger, greed, gluttony, and **. That's true.

Kuroko took the lead in setting up the tent, and stopped to look at the lights that appeared and disappeared in the mountains and forests, "The clothes of the soldiers in the soul that I saw during the day were from the Qing Dynasty. Come to think of it, the ancient tomb here should also be built in that era, but this doesn't make sense, history to the Qing Dynasty, because of the big and small wars, the treasury has been almost exhausted, and who would go to such great lengths to dig the mountain and dig stones to build the cemetery here. Unless you say......"

Kuroko said as if a flash of inspiration: "Maybe we all fell for preconceived ideas, what if the equipment carried by those people in the resurrection was not for construction, but for digging?" ”

Xiu'er was surprised when she heard this, "You mean, they are also tomb robbers, and they are also sent by the government?" ”

Kuroko nodded: "Actually, this kind of thing is not so difficult to understand. Throughout the ages, although there are few official tomb robbers in official history, these official thieves can be described as infinite in the history of the wilderness. Because they have a large army behind them, wherever they pass, they completely ignore the basic etiquette of any tomb robber sect. When encountering ancient tombs, they are excavated by brute force, and all the valuable burial goods are taken away, and the military salary is sufficient. What's more, even the imperial tombs of the previous dynasties dared to openly excavate, and I have to say that among all the tomb robbers, they are the most arrogant. ”

"So, no matter where this ancient tomb is, it is unlikely to be from the Qing Dynasty? However, as far as I know, the Qing Dynasty did not spend many years of prosperity and then embarked on the road of rapid decline, at the beginning of the war, the Qing Dynasty court did stubbornly resist for a while, but the soldiers were pampered for too long, exaggeration is that their spears and short knives and the armor on their bodies have reached the level of decay. In such a state, how can you last long with the devil's foreign guns and cannons. So after that, there was a complete rout, and under that premise, the imperial court was simply ready to admit defeat, so how could they send people here to steal and dig up ancient tombs to obtain treasures as military salaries? If history is indeed objectively recorded, it is not so much that they want to use their treasures as military salaries, but that they want to sacrifice to foreign devils to sue for peace. ”

Kuroko was silent for a moment, and suddenly said slowly, "Maybe it's neither." You have forgotten that for some powerful people, the greatest temptation is not gold and silver treasures, but the art of immortality. In the afternoon, we saw hundreds of people, and if it was really an official thief, the number would be ten times that. It only means that they are aiming at a specific target and searching. ”

Xiu'er looked back and forth between me and Kuroko several times, "Or maybe that team is just the first force." Such a discussion is fruitless, not to mention that this time I did not come to rob the tomb. It's better to rest early, I'm tired today! ”

I finally cooperated with Xiu'er to fix the tent to ensure that it would not be blown by the howling cold wind on the top of the mountain in the middle of the night, and then the three of them got together to eat something to fill their stomachs, and then went back to the tent to lie down to soothe the sore muscles of the whole body.

Xiu'er was in her sleeping bag, her head exposed, and she looked through the top of the tent at the stars in the sky that seemed to be twinkling and the bright moon that emitted a cold light. "Looking at the night sky from the top of a high mountain, it seems like you can touch them just by standing up and stretching your arms, a feeling that you can never feel on flat ground."

"Yes, it's a pity that beauty has limits, and if you want to enjoy this extreme beauty, you have to climb to the top of the mountain with a lot of painstaking efforts, and you have to risk the wind blowing away in the middle of the night!" I deliberately teased her.

The voice gradually weakened, and before they knew it, the two fell asleep, and everything was silent, except for the increasingly fierce and howling wind outside the tent, and there was darkness all around. The strange thing is that although I am sure that I am in a deep sleep, I can really feel that my eyes are open, dripping around me.

I racked my brains to try to keep it, but suddenly there was a burst of giggling laughter not far away, like a group of people holding a banquet, and the smell of meat that accompanied the laughter immediately made my stomach, which had only eaten bread and biscuits that night, gurgle incessantly.

Smelling the constant flow of fragrance, I opened my eyes and tried my best to transmit the message of getting up to my brain, which in turn conveyed it to my whole body. Who knew that when I was struggling so weakly, Xiu'er, who was lying next to me, suddenly sat up suddenly, smashed her lips with her eyes closed, and her nose kept moving, "Good fragrant meat, I want to eat it!" With that, she opened her sleeping bag and lifted the tent, and walked slowly and slowly following the fragrance like a normal person.
