Once again, I fainted, and in a trance there was a faint smell of meat stimulating my taste buds, and I felt that someone was feeding the broth into my mouth. I slowly opened my eyes, and saw that the fat man was feeding me something to eat, and when he saw that I was awake, he very carefully helped me up from the ground, and then while feeding me soup, he said to me, "You eat more, do you feel better now?" You've lost too much blood and need to be well cultivated. ”

I took a few sips of the soup and said to him, "I can't eat anymore, you can eat!" With that, I put my hands on the ground, barely stood up, and then walked to the side tremblingly.

Luo Dabeard has now woken up, and he has not suffered many injuries on his body, except for his right hand wrapped in thick gauze. He sat on the ground and stroked the cheeks of Yue'er, who was lying asleep beside him, with his hands. Yue'er's round face was now only half thin, and her eyes were sunken, but the corners of her mouth were still raised, and she had a sweet and lovely smile.

Who said that men don't flick when they have tears, it's just that they haven't reached the sad place. Bitter tears flowed down my cheeks and into my mouth, and my chest was like a boulder pressing there, so I couldn't breathe, and I wanted to kneel on the ground and shake the sleeping Yue'er. However, I was afraid that even the last smile on her face would disappear. I turned my head with tears on my face and choked out "Fat man", and he walked up to me with heavy steps. I took out the chocolate that Sophia had given me from my pocket, put it in the fat man's hand and said, "Melt it with water and feed it to Yue'er, she is now seriously malnourished, and she needs to be nourished." ”

The fat man didn't say anything, silently took the chocolate and walked aside, I sat on the ground, looked at the moon lying on the ground like a sleeping beauty, I couldn't help but think of Sophia who gave me chocolate, my heart was like a thorn in it, which made me feel so painful. I swallowed my bitter tears hard, wiped my face with my sleeve, and said in my heart: I must not fall like this here, there is still a long way to go! So, I cleared my throat and said to the people around me in a firm tone, "Everyone come around, let's have a meeting now and discuss how to get out?" ”

Everyone began to gather around in twos and threes, and the accomplices who came with the smoke man were two people in addition to him, originally the smoke man took five people into the mountain to fight, three died in the tomb before, and now in addition to the smoke man, only two people survived.

After the fat man led the smoke man into the mountain, he directly took them to the mouth of the old forest, and then planned to walk through the woods, arrive at the central clearing of the old forest, and then find the entrance of the underground palace, and then save Yue'er first and then go to the inverted bucket.

There are seven of them, in addition to the fat man and the smoke man, there are three inverted craftsmen, and the other two are the brothers of the smoke man, not the craftsmen of the inverted bucket, or follow the smoke man into the tomb of the mountain to open his eyes, just to join in the fun.

Three inverted connoisseurs, one of them is from Beijing, and I know the fat man, he is nicknamed "Little Buddha", he was a pickpocket before, and later became a subordinate of "Jingba", with a sharp mouth monkey gills, skinny and a treacherous and cunning appearance. But don't underestimate him as an unsuccessful thief, his skills are very good, he is the only disciple of the ghost hand of the bone shrinking master "Wang Baohe".

"Bone Shrinking Gong" can be said to be the most difficult kung fu in the world, to start practicing when the muscles and bones have not been finalized when you are a child, and to practice the muscles and bones outside and inside to practice a breath. At first, I just practiced simple exercises such as leg pressing and stretching tendons and lengthening ligaments. However, the difficulty of the exercises will gradually increase, first to strengthen the muscles, and finally to train the movement of the bones. After both internal and external cultivation, use internal qi and internal power to narrow the gap between bones, stack the bones of the whole body tightly in a certain order, and then you can move freely, you can't just shrink and can't act, so you have to have strong muscles, you can control the bones of the body that have been misplaced to exercise. When you can contract your muscles and bones as you like, and quickly close and overlap your bones, all parts of your body can be retracted and released freely, and it will take at least 20 years to practice this state of bone shrinkage.

It is very difficult to study and practice the bone shrinking skill, and the particularity of its requirements for human bones, so that there are very few people who really practice the "bone shrinking magic skill", and now in addition to the little Buddha and his master, there is no one else in this world who will also have this stunt. Since the bones of the whole body have to be moved frequently since childhood, those who practice this stunt can clearly see that the bones are amazing, and they are all rickety and short.

"Little Buddha" surnamed Hou, because he is short, thin and small, and he has a sharp mouth and monkey gills, the fat man and I gave him a nickname called "Monkey Cub", he is the subordinate of "Jing Baye" Kunba.

"Kunba" is about forty years old, is a rising craftsman, I don't know where the teacher is, poured a few buckets, and has some fame in the circle, so he opened a tea house and recruited disciples. He is not a disciple of the authentic four major tomb robber families, and he has an independent portal, so the people recruited are also uneven, and even human traffickers are included in the door, and the entire gate is full of smoke and miasma. Jingba is his ranking, and among the craftsmen in the capital, he ranks eighth, so he is called Jingba Kunye. The so-called ranking, the fat man and I both scoffed at it and disagreed, calling them the outer eight, because the real inverted faction in the capital is only the old man Fang of the moving mountain faction, that is, my master, and the old man of the touching gold faction. Kunba and they are also self-aware, and they did not count my master and old man Cha, and called them the "two ancestors of the capital", and then ranked them in the order of opening the door and establishing the household, as for the other seven gates, most of them are in vain and are not worth mentioning.

The disciples of the "Outer Eight Gates" are a head shorter than me and the fat man and the fifth master, because they are not authentic tomb robbers, and when they see us, they are all full of flattery and slapping horses, if they meet my master and the old man, they all have to bow down respectfully, and they don't even dare to say hello, which is the rule of the industry. All walks of life have their own written and unwritten rules, and the so-called no rules are not a circle.

Little Buddha has a relatively high status in the industry, because he has stunts and is a relatively good craftsman, so his status in the rivers and lakes is also relatively high. The fat man and I also know his name, and when we see him occasionally, we will also say hello and talk to him, because the industry of inverted buckets is very respectful of real craftsmen, as long as you have talent, you must have a foothold. The kind we look down on the most is the kind of person who can't get a lot of explosives to blast and destroy the tomb at every turn, and even open an excavator to reverse the bucket, which is really enough to lose the face of the fighting craftsman.

The two brothers of the smoke man don't know how to fight, they just want to join in the fun and make some windfalls. The other two inverted fighting craftsmen are both "sand diggers" from the south, who specialize in shipwreck salvage, and now they are both working as consultants for the same foreign shipwreck salvage company, and rarely go ashore. This time is to find a Tang Dynasty peony pattern bronze mirror, according to legend is Yang Guifei once used, about twenty-five centimeters, the surface of the black lacquer drum, the back of the peony pattern, the border with cloud pattern embellishment, this thing is an obsessed Tang Dynasty culture of the foreigner, spend a lot of money to entrust the two of them to the Tang Tomb to find. So, they boarded the boat of the smoke man.

The fat man took the smoke man and a few people to shuttle through the vigorous and bearded woods, but never found the open space where the two of us had stayed before, and the smoke man felt that they were "lost" by the forest, that is, they were confused by the lush green, making them lose their way.

So, several people stopped and began to check the direction from the new one. The easiest way to find the direction in the woods is to look at the tree's rings, or the density of the branches and leaves, or the vegetation growing under the trees to see the direction. They continued to march after reorienting themselves, and after a short time, the man who had been walking in the front raised his fist and made a gesture to stop his advance. Everyone concentrated and stared at him intently, and saw him put his finger to his mouth, signaling everyone not to make a sound, and then bent his waist and walked gently in the direction of the left, and everyone followed him lightly.

After walking dozens of steps, the smoke man suddenly raised his fist again, and everyone immediately stopped moving. I saw a dodge smoke man hiding behind a big tree and squatting, and then stretched out his head slightly to look ahead. Everyone squatted down in his own way, slowly approaching behind him.

The fat man couldn't help but ask, "Brother Smoke, what's the situation ahead?" ”

The cigarette man held a cigarette in his mouth and said in a low voice, "I heard a sound coming from ahead, and the ground seemed to be shaking. ”

The fat man craned his neck to look ahead, and then said to the cigarette man, "I didn't hear anything, and I didn't feel the ground shaking." ”

The smoke man didn't speak, made a shushing gesture, and then walked behind a tree in front of him and paused, then continued to cat's waist, walked and stopped moving forward for more than ten meters, squatted behind a big tree, and stopped. The others also quietly moved forward, and came close to the smoke man.

At this time, everyone found that there was an open space in front of them, and the fat man couldn't hide his excitement and said to the cigarette man: "It's here, what are you waiting for?" After speaking, just as he wanted to stand up, he was held down by the smoke man.

The smoke man tilted his head sideways and whispered: "The ground is shaking, there is something to get out of the ground, let's wait here first, rash action will be dangerous." ”

The fat man couldn't help but stretch out his head to look ahead, listening with a suspicious expression, but he didn't hear any sound, and couldn't help but want to stand up and look forward. As a result, he was pulled hard by the smoke man, and then he was forcibly dragged to the back by the smoke man, and came to a big tree and hid.

At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and the crust of the ground began to crack in the open space outside the woods not far away. After a while, a huge object slowly emerged from the ground, startling all the people hiding behind the trees.

I was shocked: What kind of monster is this?
