The group of thieves, each with their own weapons, crowded in front of the city gate at the end of the tomb, and under the command of Chen Blind, several centipedes were poked out to hang on the top of the mountain ladder and opened the double door. As soon as the city gate opened, I heard a few screams inside, like the terrible screams of female ghosts, some soldiers, who had never participated in tomb robbery before, heard this at first glance, and were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, but the people in the tomb were crowded, and even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't move the place.

Blind Chen knew that the unusually sharp sound was not a screaming ghost, but a roar produced by the rapid squeezing of the air. As soon as the city gate opened, it had already touched the anti-theft mechanism, and at the same time as the strange sound sounded, he immediately made a move, and the thieves at the top gate of the bamboo ladder saw the leader send a signal, shouted, and hurriedly withdrew the centipede hanging ladder. Behind them was another row of thieves, who had already pushed the wet straw bales with hidden shields to the city gates, and covered them tightly.

At this time, the sharp sound in the city was even sharper, and dozens of black water arrows shot out of the door hole with a strong fishy smell, and landed on the grass shield, and suddenly scorching white smoke came out. It turns out that there is a way behind the tomb door, and once the tomb door is opened, it will touch the "water dragon" behind the door. This water gun-like mechanism is filled with venom or strong acid, and if you don't take precautions, you will be sprayed right in front of the tomb on the spot, and if you get a little bit of it, it will rot the muscles and bones, and there is no cure.

After his previous visit, Blind Chen knew that in the Xiangong Cave of Bottle Mountain, there had been an ambush since ancient times to prevent thieves from stealing medicine, and then it was made into a yin house by the Yuan man, and various organs would definitely be used, so he had precautions in advance. The straw in front of the bandit queue was soaked with water, and it was filled with several layers of leather, each layer with dirt in between, which did not burn when fired, and it was difficult to penetrate when encountered, and although the thick acid-like venom was fierce, it could not destroy the seemingly rudimentary grass shield.

After exhausting the venom in the water dragon with the grass shield, and waiting for about a cup of tea, there was no movement behind the tomb door of the black hole, presumably the opportunity was exhausted. Luo Lao crooked put a pistol on the military hat that he was buckled obliquely on his head, and scolded: "You mother, such a vicious pin, if it weren't for Mr. Chen's head like a god, wouldn't our brothers have all been shaved off?" He is used to being a ringing horse, his mouth is full of green forest black words, "pin" refers to the organ, "shaving the head" refers to sending his life, and scolded hatefully twice, and he couldn't hold back his impetuousness, and he was about to lead the crowd into the underground palace when he spoke.

As the leader of the group of thieves, Chen Blind naturally did not dare to be careless, and quickly stopped Luo Lao, the situation behind the tomb gate is not yet known, I am afraid that there is more than this organ in the bottle mountain, and the team must not act rashly, at this moment, we must first send a few people who dare to die to explore the way behind the tomb gate.

There were really some thieves in the group who were not afraid of death, so they immediately stood up five or six, saluted in front of the blind man, then held a rattan grass shield, brought a pigeon cage medicine cake, and entered the tomb door with their footsteps, and the rest stood in the tomb and waited. There was not a single movement in the long passage of the grave, except for the sound of heavy breathing and the sound of pigeons cooing and flapping their wings in the pigeon cage.

It didn't take long for the five thieves to return from the tomb gate to resume their lives. It turns out that behind the tomb door is a city, built in the belly of the mountain, surrounded by the city wall, inside is the hideous and strange stone man and stone beast, there are several large lacquer coffins, and a stone coffin is placed in the city, there are many white flower human bones next to the coffin, there is no mechanism ambush again, and there seems to be a rock crevice wind hole in the city, although the gloomy bad luck is heavy, there is no obstacle to the living.

When Luo Lao Crooked heard the word "coffin", he couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "If you have money, you are not afraid of God, and if you have no money, you will be deceived by ghosts." It's time for our brother to make a windfall! There is no mechanism, so what are you waiting for? Is the person waiting in the coffin to deceive the corpse? After saying that, he laughed a few times self-deprecatingly, and walked in with the troops.

Chen Blind has a long heart, I am afraid that if there is a mistake in all of them, the whole army will be killed, and when he sees that there are about 200 people who have entered the tomb, he will let half of them be left in the tomb to answer, and the rest will go in the fight, and he himself has to go with Luo Lao. There are also some unavoidable reasons for this, the thieves of the unloading ridge have existed in name only a few generations ago, and many instruments and means have been lost, until the Republic of China came out of the number one person such as Chen Blind, he is erudite and well-read, talented, and gradually collected the lost tomb robbery methods of the unloading ridge, slowly sorted out and improved, and stole many ancient tombs with the ringing horses in the green forest. However, although the number of thieves in the group of thieves in Jieling is large, there are only a handful of people who really know how to rob tombs, so many times the robbers have to go out in person and command on the spot, and there is no second person in the gang who has his ability.

Chen Blind brought more than 60 thieves and thieves from the Mountains, and Luo Lao Crooked brought 30 or 40 sappers and pistol companies with his entourage, all of whom were from the Mountains, and this group of 100 people dragged the centipedes into the underground palace of the ancient tomb with a ladder hanging on the mountain ladder. As soon as you enter the tomb gate like the city gate, the terrain inside is suddenly open, the group of thieves according to the ancient unloading array diagram, formed a phalanx, Chen and Luo, the two masters of the house are clustered in the center, the bamboo ladder is horizontally around, hang a string of rattan cards for defense, and slowly move in the underground palace.

The group of thieves used a long pole to carry the lantern to look around, and sure enough, as reported by the spies, this underground palace built in the belly of Bottle Mountain, surrounded by strict city walls, there are enemy towers on the city, where it is like a Taoist palace cave sky, it is clearly like a city of soldiers in a cave. The city is closed on three sides, relatively speaking, the city in the belly of this mountain is empty, there is no palace house in the city, and the scale of the real city is much smaller, like a miniature model city, but it is not easy to build in the cave of the mountain.

The place where the group of thieves landed, is full of white bones, most of the bones are separated, look at the copper rings and silver ornaments on the skulls, you know that they are all Miao people of the seventy-two holes, this situation is not uncommon in the eyes of the people who have been robbing the tomb all the year round, presumably these captives were forced to labor, and the Taoist palace was changed to the Hades Temple, and then some of them were slaughtered here. The Yuan army is brutal, and it is estimated that there are still several places like this in Bottle Mountain.

Among the craggy white bones, there are some bronze statues and stone figures enshrined in Taoist temples, which are placed in a disorderly manner, and the hideous gold-armored gods and men glared angrily, staring at the bones everywhere and the tomb robbers who walked in. However, Luo Laowei, like Chen Blind, is a natural madman in his bones, ambitious, and wants to do a great cause that sweeps the world, although he is a little frightened in his heart, he does not reveal it on the surface.

The group of thieves formed a phalanx of "four gates and bottoms" and cautiously advanced into the city. There are nine lacquer coffins quietly placed here, all of them are tightly closed, painted with gold, and there are many jade stones embedded in the coffin board, which is the coffin of the luxurious and noble people at a glance, and ordinary people can not afford to use it. A large stone coffin in the middle is simple and unpretentious, thick and stocky, without any decorative carvings, but it is surrounded by nine lacquered coffins like stars and moons, which is enough to show its dignity.

Chen looked around, the wall-like tomb wall was dark and empty, and the heavy door was closed. There are no poisonous insects here, and there are a large number of cave human bones scattered, judging from the scale, direction, and characteristics of this underground city, it should be the front hall, and it is not known how far away from the main hall and the side hall. The underground palace in the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain is amazingly large, and I don't know what kind of characters are buried in these lacquered coffins and stone coffins, and it is not expected to be the main owner. Looking at the depictions on the lacquer coffin, they are all Ganoderma lucidum, cranes, sika deer and Yunhai Songshan, which are by no means the bones of the Yuan people's burial corpses, and may be the coffin of the "relics" of Gao Shizang in the former Daogong Cave.

The corpse of the person who has attained the Tao after death is called "relic", but it is difficult to say whether the corpse inside is a general or a Taoist priest, and the coffin placed in this way has never been seen, what kind of array is it? Chen Blind was full of doubts, how to look at how he felt weird and weird, his eyes stared at the lacquered coffin coffin and turned a few times, and he couldn't decide whether to start "raising the coffin and making a fortune".

Although Luo Lao is a big warlord leader who controls tens of thousands of horses, he was born in the green forest, and he is a sworn brother with Chen Blind, even if he is the president in power, he is always a head shorter than Chen Blind on the green forest road. The most important seniority and status in the rivers and lakes, and even if there are more horses and guns in other people, his power only occupies a corner of the land, and his territory is someone else's world. But Chen Blind is the chief scoop in the green forest, the ringing horses with the name are all his subordinates, seven or eight out of ten of the business of selling smuggling on the underworld are surnamed Chen, without the support of the thief leader, Luo Lao Crooked can not make a fortune and become a warlord leader with his heart alone, so Luo Lao Crooked has always obeyed Chen Blind, it seems that they seem to be on an equal footing, in fact, if the thief says that the coal is white, he will never dare to say that it is black, the hierarchy in the green forest road is strict, not ordinary and comparable.

However, when Luo Lao saw such a luxurious and exquisite lacquer coffin, there might be some gold, jewelry, and jade in it, his heart was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he couldn't stand it, so he didn't wait for the order of the unloading thief, so he asked his sappers to step forward and pry the coffin.

Blind Chen was staring at the dark enemy tower on the city wall. The enemy tower is a kind of brick building with a lookout hole, which can be built on the city wall to make an arrow tower, and can also observe the enemy. He felt more and more that something was wrong, and his sharp instinct sensed that there was an extremely dangerous aura in the city. There should have been a dead silence in the tomb, but the silence on the enemy tower was unsettling, and this subtle change was imperceptible to no one but him, like an experienced old fox sensing a hunter's trap. can be surrounded by a group of thieves in the middle, everyone's breath is chaotic, and they can't tell what strange smell is hidden in the enemy building for a while, so they can't help but be a little distracted, and they don't even notice that Luo Lao Crooked has asked people to pry the coffin.

The group of thieves saw that Chen was blind and did not speak, no one could stop Luo Lao crookedly, the sappers were all carrying long axes and shovels, it was not easy to pry some coffins, and immediately more than a dozen people followed Luo Lao out of the phalanx, some pulled out the stone coffin with a nail and pry the coffin, and there were also those who smashed the lacquered coffin with an axe, and the sound of "bang bang bang" echoed in the empty underground palace, which shook people's ears and bones and buzzed and hurt.

Blind Chen was about to beckon his two subordinates to hang the centipede ladder and go to the city to investigate again, but suddenly heard the movement of the coffin, and was stunned, and immediately shouted: "Stop!" This coffin can't be moved! "But it's too late, a group of sappers over there have also discovered that the lacquered coffin coffin is wrong, the coffin tomb bed is virtual, and I don't know what mechanism has been touched, and suddenly I heard a loud "boom" at the entrance, and the jack gate hidden in the city wall has fallen, sealing the retreat of the group of thieves tightly.

Luo Lao Crooked didn't understand what was going on, and hurriedly asked Chen Blind what was going on. When the blind man Chen heard that the Broken Dragon Thousand Jin Gate had fallen, his stomach and intestines were about to repent, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This is not the ancient cemetery palace at all, but the urn trap in the tomb, which is the plan of my generation!" As he spoke, he heard the sound of flowing water in the enemy tower, and the sound of bowstring crossbows on the surrounding city walls was extremely dense.
