Chapter 131: Re-enter the Ancient Tomb
The two came to the general's tomb, Zhou Hua turned around and went to the big bluestone, and took out the big bag left by Qian Yiduo from the grass that was covered.
Zhou Hua took the bag back to the entrance of the thief cave, took out the rope inside, handed it to Yao Gang, and asked him to tie it around his waist and enter the ancient tomb from the thief hole.
Yao Gang was inexplicably excited and frightened at this time, after all, he had never come to a cemetery on such a dark night, and he was about to enter this ancient tomb.
Yao Gang just wrapped the rope around his waist, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he untied the rope again. With a faint starlight, he whispered to Zhou Hua, "Zhou Hua, it's better for you to go in." I'm scared, I'll answer you up there. ”
Zhou Hua was stunned, and he said with some displeasure: "Teacher Yao, don't forget what we discussed, we also swore a poisonous oath, if anyone has bad intentions, they will die." Why do you suddenly want to change your hexagram? Look at this hole, I was barely able to get through, and it was inconvenient to bring out the treasure from the tomb. ”
Yao Gang hesitated and said, "Zhou Hua, since the treasure in the tomb is so valuable, you won't see the money and harm my life, right?" If I had brought up the treasure and you had cut the ropes and shut me up in this ancient tomb, would I not have waited in it to die? When the time comes, it will really be called the heavens and the earth. ”
Zhou Hua sighed and said, "Teacher Yao, what you said is not unreasonable, I thought about it for a while, you do have this concern." But think about it, what did the two of us do here? Isn't it for the treasure in the tomb? If I can't get my hands on something of great value, how can I kill you for nothing? ”
Yao Gang nodded: "Zhou Hua, what you said is also right. It's just that I'm still not very relieved, I'm below, tie the treasure to the rope and let you pull it up, and finally you get nauseous, what if you don't pull me up? ”
Zhou Hua smiled lightly, patted Yao Gang's shoulder and said, "Teacher Yao, don't worry, look at what this is." ”
Zhou Hua took out an item and handed it to Yao Gang. Yao Gang turned on the flashlight and saw that it was a long cloth bag.
Yao Gang quickly extinguished the flashlight and asked Yao Gang suspiciously, "Zhou Hua, this cloth bag is what you prepared to use to hold treasures, right?" Why can I trust that you won't hurt me? ”
Zhou Hua said in a low voice, "Teacher Yao, haven't you heard of it?" An ancient tomb is often visited many times by different tomb robbers. Why is that? That shows that the tomb robbers have a weak heart and lack of time, so they will only take away the most valuable things. As for the things that remained, they were picked up again by the other tomb robbers who visited later, and the last thing left behind was those bottles and cans of worthless things. ”
Zhou Hua put the long cloth bag around Yao Gang's neck, and said in a very sincere tone as much as possible: "Teacher Yao, this ancient tomb will not be a large-scale tomb of kings and emperors, and the scale is definitely not too large. I guess that this ancient tomb must not have been stolen in front of Qian Yiduo, because if someone did, they would not have left such precious rubies and short swords. ”
Zhou Hua paused and said, "Teacher Yao, don't be too greedy for the two of us. You go down with this sack and put the most valuable things in the sack. Then you wrap yourself around yourself, and I pull you up from the grave. You're relieved, aren't you? All the treasures are on you, how can I not pull you up? ”
Yao Gang thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Okay, this method is feasible." Zhou Hua, remember our oath. When I come up from the tomb, the property shall be divided equally, especially the dagger, which must be mine, and the ruby ornament shall be yours. ”
Zhou Hua gently patted Yao Gang on the shoulder and said, "Teacher Yao, that's right." That's it, by the way, you check your equipment, you can leave nothing else, you have to bring flashlights and matches. If you need any tools, you shout at the hole, and I'll throw it at you. ”
Yao Gang began to wrap a rope around his waist, and Zhou Hua helped him tie the slipknot and said in a low voice: "Teacher Yao, after you go down, you must be careful." There will be no legendary ghosts and traps in the cave, otherwise, the distant mountain last time would have been dead a long time ago. ”
Yao Gang took a deep breath to stabilize his nervous mood. Zhou Hua said again: "After you go down, I will wait quietly on it." If someone approached, I would pretend to get lost in the middle of the night and hang out with passers-by. If you hear me talking inexplicably, don't say anything, and turn off the flashlight in the tomb for a while, and wait for me to send passers-by before continuing. ”
Yao Gang nodded, and Zhou Hua continued: "Teacher Yao, when you find any priceless treasures or need any tools below, don't shout loudly, you can quietly pull the rope, and I will know." ”
After the two discussed, Yao Gang was already ready. Zhou Hua continued to encourage Yao Gang, telling him not to be afraid, people die for money, birds die for food, as long as you think that after getting the treasure, you can be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, then there is nothing to fear.
Yao Gang instigated Zhou Hua's blood boiling, and for a while, he really forgot what it meant to be afraid. He checked the rope around his waist and began to slowly dip his feet into the hole where Zhou Hua had pulled away the dead grass.
Just when the rope had just been lowered more than two meters, and Yao Gang's body had been completely submerged in the dark thief hole, Zhou Hua quietly took out a sharp knife.
Just about to cut the rope, Zhou Hua suddenly had a flash of inspiration and changed his mind.
Zhou Hua realized that he couldn't do it easily now, after all, he didn't know how deep this thief hole was. In case Yao Gang can finally hold on to the cave wall and touch it, then his plan to kill Yao Gang will not only fail, but the matter will be exposed, and he will also bring himself to prison.
On the other hand, although Zhou Hua was bent on avenging his beloved who was inadvertently fallen to his death by Yao Gang's indecent behavior, the nonsense he had just coaxed Yao Gang had unconsciously moved him.
People's greed made Zhou Hua's words to coax Yao Gang unconsciously touched Zhou Hua's deep desire to get rich overnight. At this moment, his coveting of the treasures in the ancient tomb actually exceeded his original intention of avenging Zhang Han.
Zhou Hua hesitated for a while, feeling that his plan was still a little oversight. He slowly lowered the rope as his brain raced, carefully calculating his plan.
In the end, Zhou Hua put down the knife, and he decided to put Yao Gang safely in the tomb first, and let Yao Gang tell him the situation in the tomb before making a decision.
Suddenly, Zhou Hua felt that his hand was loose, and it was no longer as heavy as when he pulled Yao Gang.
Yao Gang shook the rope underneath and whispered to Zhou Hua that he had reached the bottom of the tomb.
Zhou Hua rolled his hands to his mouth and whispered to the entrance of the tomb: "Teacher Yao, you turn on the flashlight, observe the tomb first, and tell me the situation inside." ”
When Yao Gang heard this, he immediately turned on the flashlight and untied the rope around his waist at the same time. He took a closer look and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
I saw that in that tomb, the surrounding area and the roof of the tomb were round, and like the floor of the tomb, they were all made of blue bricks. In addition to the tomb floor, scattered with more than a dozen green bricks and some soil, there are more than a dozen large and small clay pots around the tomb.
Yao Gang lifted his leg, but almost tripped over, he used a flashlight to shine, and found a pile of small embroidered iron pieces of similar size scattered around his feet. Yao Gang couldn't guess what the use of these small pieces of iron was for a while, he was very disappointed and shone it with a flashlight, in addition to the huge coffin in the tomb, he also unexpectedly saw a pile of white bones.
Yao Gang was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream.
Zhou Hua at the entrance of the cave heard Yao Gang's scream, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: Could it be that there is really something strange in this cave?
Zhou Hua hurriedly whispered to Yao Gang at the entrance of the cave: "Teacher Yao, what happened?" Tell me quickly. ”
Yao Gang said tremblingly: "Zhou Hua, I saw a pile of white bones and a very large coffin. ”
Zhou Hua asked strangely, "Teacher Yao, have you already opened the coffin?" How do you see a pile of white bones? ”
Yao Gang calmed down, and then shone a flashlight, and then his soul calmed down a little, and he eased his breath and said, "Zhou Hua, I didn't open the coffin." It was a pile of white bones scattered around the coffin, and I just saw that it was the bones of a horse, and it almost scared me to death. ”
Zhou Hua said dissatisfiedly: "Teacher Yao, you are really timid, tell me what treasures are in the tomb?" Tell me about the situation in the tomb. ”
Yao Gang was about to say that there was nothing in the tomb, when he suddenly thought of a terrible thought: What if Zhou Zhou Hua saw that there was nothing in the tomb and was disappointed, he would leave me alone?
