Chapter 8: Tomb Zombies
In the early days of liberation, in order to completely eradicate the problem of banditry, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) advanced into Xiangxi and launched an extremely difficult, complicated, and fierce war of "suppressing bandits." In the course of two years, it basically wiped out bandits of different factions in Xiangxi.
However, there is a fish that slipped through the net among the bandits in Xiangxi, named Qin Guoqing, who relied on his high art and courage and familiarity with the terrain, and Tian Yulian, the "lady of the village" he robbed, hid in Tibet in the deep mountains and old forests, and from time to time killed people and crossed goods, owing more than 100 lives, until the spring of 1965, the local soldiers and civilians searched the mountains again, and only then blocked the Qin couple in a cave and killed them, and Qin Guoqing became the last "big bandit" to be eliminated in New China. In "Outlaw Mandarin Duck", it tells the story of how the Qin couple changed from civilians to murderous bandits, how they resisted stubbornly in the mountains, and were finally killed by both of them
said that this Secretary of State Qin once had such a brother named Tang Songming, and the two had been the local emperor of Xiangxi for several years. At that time, there was a military advisor in the village, all day long Taoist priest dressed as a hundred arithmetic immortals, this person was extremely smart, and also knew a little about the art of yin and yang gossip, and had made a lot of useful ideas for Qin Guoqing in several bandit land struggles, and his power was growing day by day, and Qin Guoqing also attached great importance to this military advisor.
Later, for some reason, they divided the village, from a force into three shares, among which Tang Songming and the military advisor Bai Shuxian led the hundred and ten people to Shaanxi to set up their own door, but they did not become bandits again, but relied on the money they had obtained before to sit in Shaanxi, from the bandits in the mountains to the local rich man, and monopolized a lot of industries through the threat of force. Baisuan Immortal is also very smart in business, Tang Songming went from dividing the village to becoming a wealthy man in Shaanxi, which was mostly the idea of Baisuan Immortal.
The person who invited Hu Wan to do business this time was Tang Songming, this person has been a bandit for a long time, and his gangsterism is still very heavy, so that the old fox Hu Wan can see it at a glance, so he directly asked him which mountain he was the owner of the cave, that is, he asked where he was a bandit before.
Tang Songming was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask Hu Wan to speak in the backyard, and by the way, he ordered his subordinates to settle Lao Wu and others who came with Hu Wan.
Tang Songming and Hu Wan went to the backyard and sat down in a gazebo, and after the people brought the tea and prepared it, they sent the rest of the people away, poured Hu Wan a cup of tea and said, "Hu Ye has come from afar to work hard, come and drink some tea to rest." ”
Hu Wan also politely picked up the teacup and drank it all, pursed his lips and said to Tang Songming: "This tea has a fragrant aftertaste, it must be the Jin Junmei of Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, right?" ”
Tang Songming replied: "Master Hu, you are not only sharp-eyed, as soon as we met, you knew what I used to do, and even drank tea so particularly, I still can't call the name of this tea, and I really deserve to be the most clever Tulong now." "The earth dragon is a black word for tomb robbers, and only those who know how to call it that.
Hu Wan smiled and said: "I'm just a grave robber digging graves, how can I call it the most clever or something, but then again, I don't know what Brother Tang wants to do when he comes to me, so let's say it first so that the old man can prepare in advance." ”
Tang Songming looked around to make sure that there was no one else, and then said to Hu Wanxi what this big deal was.
When Tang Songming and Baisuan Xian first arrived in Shaanxi with the people, they bought an ancient house in Wangjiadian, the house is not big but the courtyard is not small, and there is a large open space behind the house. After Tang Songming bought the house, he planned to demolish the ancient house and rebuild some houses for his subordinates to live in, but when he demolished the ancient house and dug the foundation, he dug up an ancient tomb.
It turned out that the ancient house was built on a large tomb, and the entrance of the tomb was sealed by a stone door, and the stone door that sealed the entrance of the tomb was engraved with strange patterns. At that time, the people who dug up the ancient tomb and worked also stopped, gathered around to watch the excitement, and Tang Songming and Baisuan Immortal also rushed away when they heard this.
When Bai Shuxian saw this tomb, he first turned around in a circle and was worried, thinking about how to buy a house with such an inch, and there was a tomb under it, and it didn't take long for him to start smiling again. Although he doesn't know much about the customs of this tomb, but looking at the entrance of this tomb, it should be a big tomb, and it is not good to get a large number of burial goods such as gold, silver, porcelain and so on in the tomb, this is really going to make a fortune.
Later, Tang Songming did not delay in emptying the workers present, and called more than a dozen of his most trusted brothers, with tools to pry open the stone door of the tomb road, the tomb road is inclined downward, and the slope is not big to go down.
There were a few people who dared to fight for merit, so they tied ropes around their waists and were dragged by the people outside, and those people walked into the tomb with torches. After a while, the people at the entrance of the tomb could not see the light of the torch, and the rope was still being sent downward, and after more than two minutes, a few people who walked into the tomb stopped and stopped pulling the rope.
The above thought that the person who went in entered the tomb and saw the burial goods, but before the few ropes in his hand began to tremble violently, Tang Songming immediately sensed that something was wrong and asked people to quickly pull the rope.
But by this time it was too late, and when they pulled everyone up from the tomb, they all turned purple, rolled their eyes and spit out their tongues more than two feet long, looking exactly like hanged ghosts, which frightened everyone present.
It was still Baisuan Immortal who reacted first and shouted: "It's broken, there may be old zombies in this tomb who can spray corpse poison, quickly move the stone door over and block it, don't let it come out!" After speaking, the people sealed the entrance of the tomb again, buried it with soil again, and pressed it with a stone tablet engraved with scriptures on the entrance of the tomb in the future to prevent the things in the tomb from escaping, and only a few people knew about it.
At that time, people were too superstitious, and the few people who went down to the tomb may have just been too heavy because the tomb gas accumulated in the tomb for many years was too heavy, and they didn't know how powerful the tomb gas was. Or it was also a poor preparation to trigger the poison gas mechanism in the tomb to be killed, but the Baisuan Immortal was stunned and said that there were zombies, which scared the people present enough to reseal the entrance of the tomb, and until now the tomb is still in this house.
Hu Wan understood after listening to Tang Songming say this, it turned out that the rich man wanted to let him come over to rob the tomb, but it was strange to listen to what he said, Hu Wan had never encountered zombies, the zombies he usually encountered were at most ancient corpses that suddenly encountered yang qi and sat up, and he really didn't meet an old zombie who could pounce on people and spray corpse poison, and he was still a little fucking stunned in his heart.
Tang Songming saw that Hu Wan's eyes were rolling wildly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he was afraid that he would hesitate to take this matter, so he said that he would provide all the convenience for Hu Wan, and the things taken out of the tomb were also willing to be shared equally with Hu Wan.
Hu Wan also agreed, thinking that he would let the apprentice go in to explore the situation first, and then go down in person if he had nothing to do.
Lao Wu followed Hu Wan to a rich man's house in Wangjiadian, and happened to catch up with the rich man to celebrate his father's 70th birthday.
Finally waited until the evening to open the table, and Hu Wan's apprentices found a table to eat, and in the middle of each table there was a charcoal-roasted whole sheep, the texture of the mutton was tender and several people were crazy, and their table was the most mobile in such a large courtyard.
Lao Wu told Xiao Qi last night that he ate a few pieces of lamb leg meat when he was eating a big banquet in Shaanxi, which was nonsense, and he ate the most at that time, and he couldn't move in the end. Hu Wan sat at the table with the rich man Tang Songming, and when he saw Lao Wu and his apprentices eating Haisai in the distance, he couldn't help but feel ashamed by patting his head with his hands.
Tang Songming arranged an empty room for Lao Wu and them to rest, Lao Wu ate too much and was going to sleep at the end, Hu Wan came in from outside at this time and said to Lao Wu: "Hey, hey, Brother Wu, don't sleep, I have something to say, get up quickly." ”
Lao Wu finally found a place to lie down and was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he heard Hu Wan tell him to get up and have something to order, he also said vaguely: "Master Hu, you can say it, I can listen while lying down." ”
Hu Wan said helplessly: "You have it!" If you want to sleep, you can sleep, anyway, it will be tomorrow, and after a long way, you will rest first today, and you will rob a big tomb tomorrow when you have enough spirits. ”
Several apprentices heard that there was a big tomb and hurriedly asked Hu Wan for details, Hu Wan only briefly talked about it, and Lao Wu didn't hear it when he fell asleep.
Later, I learned that this Tang Songming was originally only a virtual shelf, since the death of Baisuan Immortal in the past few years, Tang Songming's business has not been smooth, has lost several big business, and there is not much money left in the family, and then I remembered that there was once an ancient tomb with zombies, so I invited the tomb thief Hu Wan to rob this tomb, this time my father celebrated his 70th birthday and he was extremely generous to fill the shelf, as long as he could take out the treasures in the ancient tomb, then this money is nothing.
The next morning, Hu Wan took Lao Wu and his apprentices to the stone tablet in the southwest corner of the compound, where Tang Songming and his men were already waiting for them. Seeing that Hu Wan and his party had arrived, he instructed him not to make too much movement so as not to let outsiders know, and it was best not to move the stone tablet, if he could make a hole in the side.
Hu Wan said: "Don't worry, the few people who eat with the old man are all masters in the industry, and they all have their own skills, and they will definitely not make a big move, and this Brother Wu, that is the best and fastest earth dragon to steal the hole, you just wait for the Ming device on the top." "Ming vessels, also called mortal vessels, refer to the burial goods in the tomb.
After speaking, let Lao Wu dig a robbery hole diagonally from the back of the stone tablet and dig directly into the tomb, after the robbery hole was laid, Lao Wu was the first to enter the tomb, and then several mermaids rushed in.
Tang Songming's subordinates also had three people who went into the tomb with Lao Wu and them to get the Ming utensils, saying that they were helping but they were afraid that Hu Wan would swallow them alone, those three people had no experience in this area, and they were nervous when they entered the narrow and closed robbery hole, and a claustrophobic sense of fear arose, and they just wanted to turn around and run out, and only when they entered the slightly more spacious tomb did they feel better with other people.
Hu Wan was the last to go down, walking at the back of the line, and if there were special circumstances, he would be ready to run out first.
Lao Wu walked with a torch, and after a while, he was in the end, and there was a small space of more than ten square meters below with nothing, but there was a door on the wall facing the tomb. Lao Wu walked over and knocked on his hand to make a crisp sound, it seems that this door is made of pig iron, although the surface is very rusty, but some thickness still looks unbreakable, so it seems that behind this iron door may be the main burial chamber with the coffin of the tomb owner.
Generally speaking, the tomb door in the tomb chamber is mostly opened inward, there is a deep groove carved under the tomb door, there is a round pit at the end of the deep groove, when the tomb is sealed, a stone ball is placed on the deep groove behind the tomb door, and with the closing of the tomb door, the stone ball also falls into the round pit with the channel from shallow to deep to pin the tomb door, and can no longer be pushed open from the outside.
At this moment, this iron door should also be designed in this way, which can not be destroyed even with explosives, and when encountering this kind of tomb door, it is generally used to form a ring with iron wire to extend through the crack of the door, and pull the stone ball that is not to hold the tomb door out of the round pit, so that the tomb door can be opened. But there are no flaws around the iron door in front of him, and Lao Wu has no choice.
But this was not difficult for Hu Wan, he asked his apprentice to use a special acidic liquid to corrode a hole in the iron door, and then put his hand in to open the stone ball, so that the door could be opened, these things have always been prepared but never used, and they have played a big role at this moment.
Although the iron door is firm, a burst of white smoke came out after being poured with acid, forming a corrosive area, with a tool with a pointed tip to smash a piece of a piece, it didn't take a while to make a round hole more than ten centimeters wide on the iron door, the apprentice put his arm into it and groped for a while, it was indeed a round object behind the door, and pushed it open, the iron door was not hindered by the stone ball, but it made a sound of metal friction and slowly opened.
Everyone saw that the tomb door was slowly opening, and they all dodged to the side, for fear that there was some hidden weapon inside, and countless cold arrows would suddenly shoot out. Lao Wu and they hid on the side not because they were afraid of a mechanism, but when the tomb gas in the main tomb that had been closed for many years was cleared, they were professional tomb robbers, even if the Ming weapon was in front of them, they were not in a hurry, sitting on the side and smoking.
The three people under Tang Songming knew that there were a lot of valuable artifacts in the main tomb, and they didn't know what they were waiting for if the door was open, and they didn't know what they were waiting for, Hu Wan They could calm down, but these three people couldn't, one of them had the courage to hold a torch and stretched out, and then poked his head out to take a look, I don't know what body was actually trembling violently, and then shouted: "My mother is coming" and fell back on his back.
Lao Wu got close and hurriedly dragged him aside, seeing that the man had rolled his eyes and fainted, he hurriedly pinched the person and beat him on the back to ventilate, and finally woke the person up.
Lao Wu saw that the man was getting angry, so he asked him, "What's wrong with you, what are you looking at?" ”
The man gasped and trembled and said, "Oh, I was startled when I saw a person standing inside at the first glance, but after a closer look, I saw that it was a statue, not an ordinary human statue, but a statue of Maitreya Buddha, whose originally smiling face suddenly turned into a yaksha after seeing me. ”
