Nuqing Xiangxi Chapter 26 Cave Tomb
The pair of pangolin cave armor, one large and one small, seemed to have been asleep in the bamboo basket until they crawled on the ground like a dream at this time, shaking their bodies and stretching their limbs, listening to the sound of their claws scraping the ground, they knew that their strength was fierce. Many of the thieves did not know it, and they were worried that this thing would hurt people, so they involuntarily took a few steps back.
At this time, Hua Ling and the old foreigner stepped forward side by side, grabbed the copper rings on the body of the Lingjia in the cave and pressed them firmly to the ground. These pair of long armor kicked on all fours and kept struggling, but they were locked by the copper ring and the acupuncture points, even if they had the power to break through the rocks and mountains, it was difficult to break free.
Although the shape resembles the pangolin carp, there is actually a big difference between the two. More than 2,000 years ago, tomb robbers tamed the carp carapace, and fed it with refined food and medicinal materials, so that its forelimbs were particularly developed.
At that time, most of the ancient tombs were covered with bucket mound bell-shaped sealed soil, even if there was no underground palace and underworld hall inside, the interior was mostly wooden coffins, and layers of wood were used to build up the yellow intestine inscription (yellow intestine inscription, "yellow intestine" refers to the yellow heart cypress wooden fang piled up outside the coffin, and the "inscription" refers to the head of the wooden fang is arranged inward, referring to the frame structure formed by the cypress wood fang around the coffin room of the Western Han Emperor's mausoleum. There are not many tomb bricks that are completely used, and there are few large mountains with mountains as hiding, and ordinary tombs rammed earth cannot stop the sharp claws of the tomb armor through the mountains.
Later tombs gradually absorbed the experience of anti-theft, the stone is getting bigger and bigger, and the thickness of the Cheng dΓΉ also increases, and the cracks have to be watered with melted copper and iron juice, so that the pan cave tomb armor gradually lost its usefulness, but for the ordinary tombs in the cold and humid areas of the Xiangqian Mountains, it can still come in handy. This ancient technique of piercing the mountain cave and tomb armor that has been lost in the Tang Dynasty is always the secret method in the mountain moving technique in today's world, only the mountain moving people will also make it.
The mountain movers do not need to touch the method of cutting the points of the gold unloading ridge, and the captain of the gold school relies on the accuracy of the gold points, and is accustomed to using a whirlwind shovel to steal the hole; There are many thieves in the Jieling group, and no matter how big the sealed mound is, they can't stop them from digging indiscriminately; The mountain movers often use the mountain digging to dig the hole, which has always been known as "three nails and four nails". This mountain cave Lingjia is only one of the four Jia, away from Hunan and Guizhou, this technique can not be performed, but they are good at adapting measures to local conditions, and can also use another mountain digging armor, these are all "cut" words that belong to moving mountains and upside down.
The partridge whistle ordered the flower spirit to take out a few bamboo tubes, which were full of red-headed ants, which could weigh several catties, first feed the two pan-mountain cave lingjia to eat half full, then drag them to the root of the mountain, pound them with bait in the place where the raccoon just dripped blood, and push them to dig the earth and rocks there.
Panshan cave mausoleum armor this thing to see the mountain drilling, especially like the grave near the heavy soil and rock, only to see the body slightly smaller in front, its body arched forward, shaking up a thick armor, hook toe flipping so fast that the eye is also dazzled, digging hard soil is as simple as digging tofu, easy to cross the mountain and people.
The old foreigner grabbed the other large pangolin armor and tied a chain to its copper ring, making it difficult for it to burrow into the mountain with the previous one. These two guys are not separated from the scales, and if they catch one, they will not worry about the other going in the wrong direction, or they will escape in the middle of the way, but they will shorten the chain, and deliberately rush to the big one to land on the ground, and the hole that has been dug up will be bigger and bigger.
Although the group of thieves in Jieling are also veterans of inverted fighting, who has ever seen this kind of method, and they are dumbfounded. It turns out that these two cave armors are different in shape, but they are a perfect match for the combination of attacks, one digs the vertical and horizontal robbery holes, the other expands the diameter of the cave, and the speed of digging the soil and drilling the mountain is so fast that it is almost unimaginable to ordinary people.
This robbery hole dug by the cave Lingjia, the hole is wide enough to accommodate people to squat, the angle is parallel to the ground, straight from the slope of the root of the mountain cut into it, from the urn behind the underground palace, the distance is not close, although the double armor is strange and fierce, but if you want to go straight through the middle palace, it really takes a lot of work.
The partridge whistle took the opportunity to sit cross-legged on the ground and close his eyes to recuperate, once the Shuangjia cave penetrated the underground palace, he could not tell what danger he encountered in this strange ancient tomb, and he only heard the rumbling echo in the mountain. But the partridge whistle knows in his heart that the bottle mountain is strong, the soil is tightly hidden, and it is by no means possible to get it in a day or two by blowing stones from the mountain. If this pair of cave tombs is not hindered, about after dark, you can go straight to the ancient tomb Dazang, and I don't know what the pill beads in the tomb are, but since it has arrived, it is impatient, and it can only swing the oar and slow oar to catch the drunken fish, wait for it to change, and gradually wander outside the object, as if the monk is determined.
The thieves didn't dare to disturb him, so they sat down at the base of the mountain to rest. The red girl is often beside the partridge whistle these days, seeing that he is full of opportunities, his demeanor is free and easy, and his words are refreshing, never like Changsheng Mountain up to Chen Luo, down to countless thieves are either vulgar and rude, or it is the ambition of being the king and hegemon, and only marrying such a character as him can not be in vain for this life, I can't help but regret that I swore not to marry for life, it is "come to the building at night to look at the bright moon, only Chang'e does not marry", thinking of this, he sighed softly, but he has already made up his mind in his heart, the future is the end of the world, so I have to go with him, It doesn't matter what swore and gambled, but I don't know if this mountain mover has ever asked for a wife.
Thinking of this, the red girl whispered to ask the senior sister Hua Ling of the partridge whistle, but it was not easy to inquire directly about this matter, so she had to go around in a circle: "Little girl, I see that you look like a flower and jade, you are seventeen or eighteen this year?" Who will marry you in the future is really a blessing in his previous life, I wonder if your senior brother has decided a family affair for you? β
Hua Ling had never heard of this kind of rule, and said strangely: "Sister, why is my marriage decided by my senior brother?" My parents are still alive, and although they are bedridden, they are still ......."
The red girl said: "I am logically speaking, since Ling Zun Lingtang is unwell, then this kind of major matter should be a worry of the senior brother. Men should get married, women should get married, there is a way that the radish pulls out the ground wide, and the sister marries the brother and saves worry. Seeing that your senior brother frowned all day long, as if he was very preoccupied, I don't know if he has thought about these matters for you, he ...... Has he ever been married himself? I don't think I can take care of it, right? β
Hua Ling was only seventeen years old, and she had little contact with outsiders, so she understood what the red girl meant, but she felt that what she asked was a little strange. However, many of the thieves in the group of thieves in Jieling are veterans in the Fengyue field, and most of them have guessed the thoughts of the red girl in their ears, and they can't help but be secretly funny when they listen to her asking the little girl to ask if the mountain mover has ever begged for a wife.
The more I thought about it, the more funny it became, one of the thieves couldn't help it, and actually laughed out a little sound, and was heard by the red girl, she knew that it was bad, she was anxious just now, but she didn't expect that there was a sound in the crack of the mountain, and the words of any henchmen were also heard by those people.
She was annoyed and backhanded was a slap in the face, knocking out the thief's two front teeth, the rest of the people knew how powerful this woman was, in addition to the unloading of the Ling thief, even Luo Lao Crooked dared to fight, who had the courage to provoke her among the minions at the bottom of the Changsheng Mountain. Everyone quickly stiffened their faces and forced a casual expression, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.
The red girl had a fever on her face, and was trying to find a crack in the ground to get into, when the old foreigner came out of the thief hole, and the two armors that pierced the mountain cave were also dragged out, and he reported to the partridge whistle: "The cave has penetrated the mountain tomb, and the wind and water have risen." β
"Wind and water" is a common incision when robbing tombs, and "wind" refers to the air circulation in the ancient tombs, and there is no gloomy atmosphere. The urn city in front of this bottle mountain was independently closed, and it was used as a trap for a false tomb and doubtful mound, so there was no trace of mountain poison insects. The thief hole dug by the tomb armor of the mountain cave cut into the sealed tomb behind the urn city. "Water" refers to "wealth" or "artifact", and the presence of water means that there is indeed a temple and underground palace.
When Partridge Whistle heard the news, he got up and immediately ordered everyone to prepare to enter the thief's hole. He himself strapped a lantern to his body, looked at two German-made mirror boxes, which were full of bullets, and covered his face with a black veil, revealing only his two eyes. The rest of the people also packed up neatly, dismantled the centipede and hung the ladder to carry it separately, and stood solemnly in front of the thief cave to listen to the dispatch.
When the partridge saw that everyone was ready, he took out the angry chicken in the bamboo basket. I saw the rooster's colorful feathers and golden claws, and it seemed that I could also feel that there was a mortal enemy hidden in the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain, and knew that there must be a bloody battle of life and death today.
The partridge whistle nodded secretly, he didn't care whether the rooster could understand human speech or not, he actually instructed it in public, and rescued the angry chicken from under the butcher's knife in the mountain people of Jinfeng Village.
The dozen or so unloading thieves saw it, and they also knew that this angry chicken could sweep the tomb of poisoned insects and centipedes. They have all seen the six-winged centipede flying out of the deep stream and turbulent clouds, which is by no means something that ordinary firearms can resist, and they thought that as long as this big rooster can make the group poison clear, so that the mountains and mountains can be moved and the treasures in the tomb are stolen, it will not hurt to call you "Master Chicken" in the future, and the net worth and life of the group of thieves can be tied to you.
Partridge Whistle immediately sent four men, two of whom went to Bottle Hill to report to Chen Blind. Listening to the sound of explosives blasting in the mountain intermittently and endlessly, maybe the engineering troops on the mountain have not yet blown up anything, since the mountain root has opened the robbery hole, so ask Chen Blind to bring people down to rendezvous, and the other two stay in front of the robbery hole to be responsible for communication.
And when the rest of the men went in with the Partridge Sentry to visit the grave, and when they were ready, he led the people into the cave. The thieves all carried a lot of iron nails on their bodies, and when they walked out of a section, they nailed two nails to the wall of the thief's cave, and the two long nails crossed each other, and then put one on the simple leather lantern rack as a lighting mark.
Go all the way like this, but see this cave through the mountain, all of them are dug through the mountain cave and the tomb armor is extremely open and flat, people don't need to squat down when they get in, and the cat can move forward with a bow of the waist. When the group of thieves saw that in addition to the hard soil in the cave, there were many solid rock formations, which were also penetrated by the Shuangjia cave, and they couldn't help but secretly speak.
The length of the cave was shorter than the Partridge Whistle had previously estimated, but it was a distance of hundreds of paces. The group of thieves carefully drilled the hole and gathered, and it took a long time to reach the end, and the place where they came out happened to be a sloping ramp, and the stone slabs on the ramp had been pushed away, and they held the torches to look around, and the lower places were killed by huge stones, and there was no gap to take advantage of, and they went up along the ramp, and the high places were huge bluestone coupons.
In the cracks of the stone wall, there are occasionally one or two centipedes that are fleeing quickly, and the physical properties are shengke, and this thing is full of fire and water with the angry chicken, and there is only the escape of the fate. The poisonous insects in the whole mountain would have spit out poisonous mirages at night and in dark places, but as soon as the angry rooster crowed, none of these poisonous insects dared to spit out venom, and they all drilled into the deep cracks of the mountain as if they were fatal, in order to get as far away from this natural enemy as possible.
The partridge whistle knew that there were many ambushes in this ancient tomb, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he slowly walked along the wide ramp, and the group of thieves carried centipedes and hung ladders to follow him left and right. Walk out not far, see a huge stone tablet on the rock wall, on the top four big characters dragon flying phoenix dance, partridge whistle pick up the lamp to watch, see is "red dust reflection" four words, I don't know what it means.
When you reach the end of the slope and pass through a relief cloud dragon stone beam, you will suddenly see a bright light in front of you. In the cave in the huge mountain, there are several halls of heavy eaves rest mountain, the palace is towering, the pavilion is saggy, the eaves and arches are densely arranged, the carved beams and paintings are solemn and solemn, the outside of the hall is brightly lit, the layers are endless, and the gold bricks and blue tiles are particularly brilliant.
There is stone smoke rising in the rock formation in the cave, making the palace as bright as the heavenly river full of incense smoke, revealing an indescribable remote mystery, which is no different from the fairyland on earth in the blessed land of the cave. But in the belly of the mountain, it looks particularly gloomy, and is shrouded in clouds and smoke, it looks very unreal, ethereal like an illusion in the water, no wonder there is an inscription of "red dust reflection".
Originally, although Bottle Mountain was strong, due to the perennial slope of the mountain, there were many large and small gaps in the mountain, but it was difficult to see from the outside. In the belly of the mountain is a piece of feng shui treasure land, the vitality is surging endlessly, the antiquities hidden in the mountain are as good as new for a long time, the 10,000-year-old candle and the glazed cup between the buildings and palaces are completely arranged in accordance with the layout of the star palace, complex but not chaotic, and the weather is rigorous.
This place was originally the "fairy palace" enshrined in the royal Tibetan pill alchemy, and it began to operate and build since the Qin and Han dynasties, and many of the monuments are of different ages, but there is a royal atmosphere everywhere. Those glass lamps are precious millennium candles and 10,000-year-old lamps, a little faint lamp can burn for thousands of years, after a lapse of several hundred years, most of the lamps and candles are still on, especially those eight-treasure glazed lamps, which are illuminated by the candle flame.
The group of thieves followed the partridge whistle, and when they saw this fairyland-like palace in a bottle, they couldn't help but be stunned, and their eyes were straight, Rao was that they had a big appetite, but they never dreamed that there would be such a large temple, and those ancient lamps alone were inexhaustible.
Hua Ling came out to move the mountain for less than half a year, and he hadn't seen anything in the world, but he felt that the demonic aura in the depths of the palace was shrouded, and he couldn't help but tremble a little in his heart, and grabbed the partridge whistle's arm and hid behind him: "Senior brother, that strange place ahead...... Like a Taoist temple palace for alchemy, how can it be a temple that hides the dead? β
At the age of thirteen, Partridge Whistle began to rob the tombs of the previous generations of mountain movers, and the large-scale imperial tombs and the ancient tombs of the princes and kings were also robbed, although the underground palace in the mountain tomb was luxurious and magnificent, there was no such fairyland-like atmosphere in front of him. This is simply to move all the buildings in the famous Taoist mountain into the cave, but the yin qi in this mountain is as heavy as a ghost palace, how can there be any fairy energy.
At this time, as soon as Hua Ling asked, Partridge Whistle replied casually: "Take food and ask for immortals?" Hey...... It's just a spring dream of the emperors, and then the mountains and rivers were broken, and the golden palace of the fairy palace was not used as a tomb by a general of the Yuan Dynasty. I'm going to go over and take a look at the Xiangxi Corpse King in the Immortal Palace...... See if it has three heads and six arms, or is covered with copper and iron armor. β
