Chapter 23: The Jade Pig Dragon and the Mysterious Man
The bullet passed through the jade mirror and hit the cave wall directly.
Jade Mirror was annoyed and angry, and viciously opened her teeth and claws at them.
The two strong men hugged their heads and screamed in fright. The bald head was also taken aback when he saw the jade mirror rushing towards them, and after finding that the jade mirror had no destructive power at all, the bald head kicked them a few times and scolded: "Fuck, even you rats dare to come out and touch gold?" If I look for you again next time, Lao Tzu will be raised by a son of a bitch! He pointed to the jade mirror and said, "If that thing can really do something to us, why don't he do it sooner?" Can you still wait for Lao Tzu to shoot? You immediately escort these people to the Seventh Master! β
The two strong men were obviously timid, but they were forced to be bald-headed and did not dare to disobey. They tried it a few times, and after making sure that the jade mirror was just a faΓ§ade, they immediately changed their faces and pushed us forward viciously.
I don't know how long I walked, but I saw a collapse in front of me, and the blood-red underground river water flowed out of the cave.
Qi Laoqi and the others guarded the entrance of the cave, wanting to go in, but they didn't dare to go in. They were also startled when they saw the jade mirror, and the two strong men behind the bald head immediately said in unison that there was no need to be afraid! It's useless!
Yujing was ignored tragically, and said indignantly, why am I useless? Didn't it scare the hell out of you?
The two of them were annoyed and angry, and immediately swung their fists at Yujing, who grimaced at them with a sloppy face. I said in my heart that there is no such thing, how can this guy act nonsense just because he is not a human being? What if they take their anger out on us?
As soon as he thought about it, he heard Hu Zhouzhou screaming, and one of the strong men repeatedly failed to hit the jade mirror, so he turned his anger on Hu Zhouzhou next to him. Hu Zhouzhou innocently suffered from others, and immediately jumped to teach Yujing a lesson, and several people instantly became a mess.
Qi Laoqi fired two shots at the top of the cave and scolded, "Have you fucking made enough trouble? You think you're here for a trip? We're professional grave robbers! No, damn it, grave robbers! What laugh at what laughs? It's business time! You all give me a little bit of seriousness! β
Although it is difficult to be serious in this situation, no one dares to smile when their lives are at stake.
Qi Laoqi asked people to control Niu Jianguo and Hu Zhouzhou, and said to me: "You go into the cave immediately to see what the situation is inside." Say what you see out loud as you go! If I can't hear your voice, I'll ...... immediately."
I muttered, "Kill them right away, you know, you know, there's nothing new at all." After speaking, he didn't care what Qi Laoqi's reaction was, he bent down and got into the collapse. The water in the cave is waist-deep, and even moving is very difficult.
I held up the lamp and said loudly that it was a big cave and that it was full of water. Qi Laoqi asked loudly outside, "Have you seen the coffin?" β
I said, "No, even if this is really the Xiaoyang Tomb, it has already been flooded, and the gold and silver treasures have been washed out, so you should die." β
Qi Laoqi scolded: "You don't talk nonsense!" The gold, silver and jewelry for the burial are going to be decided, but I will never let go of the artifact in the tomb of Xiaoyang, if you can't find the coffin of the ghost Xiaoyang King today, none of you want to go out! β
I heard Hu Zhouzhou say, "I advise you to be content, go to the valley just now and get the treasure and run away!" Otherwise, when that group of ghosts comes back, we will all have to turn white! Then there was a muffled sound, and Hu Zhouzhou snorted, probably beaten. The bald head scolded and said that even if you want to die, you will go first!
As I walked deeper and deeper, I carefully avoided the stalagmites around me, when suddenly a man whispered in my ear, "What's that?" β
I was startled, and when I looked back, it turned out to be a jade mirror. I looked up in the direction he was pointing and found that there was a high platform of more than ten square meters above my head! I'll let the jade mirror go up and take a look. The jade mirror circled around and immediately returned to me, whispering that there was a huge bluestone sarcophagus on the high platform.
Qi Laoqi urged impatiently: "What do you see?" β
I dealt with him with nonsense, and I quickly wondered if I should tell them that I had found the coffin. If they get what they want, then I'm a human hazard detector of no use. None of the three of us will survive then.
Yujing was obviously not bothered by such trivial matters as life and death, and looked at the high platform with a look of admiration and said that King Yang was simply a genius, and he actually thought of placing the coffin on the underground river. I disagreed, saying that there must have been no water in the cave. In my opinion, this cave is the outermost "coffin" of King Yang's coffin, so he will put the gold and silver jewelry that accompanied the burial in the cave.
If there was water in the cave, how could he put those treasures in the water?
Yujing nodded and said yes, so where did all this water come from? I also think this is strange, and the location of this hole should not be a landslide. I continued to look with the miner's lamp, and suddenly I saw a few black marks at the entrance of the cave. Traces of gunpowder explosions.
I thought of the human head that fell from the tree into Hu Zhouzhou's arms, and remembered what Qi Laoqi said in the third cave hall, and I understood it at once.
Qi Laoqi called a group of abductors who came to explore the cave to see the fortune and used explosives to blow up the tomb of Xiaoyang. Unexpectedly, he attracted the ghost owl and Shura pomfret who were raised in the cave to guard the tomb. I didn't expect it to cause the underground river to overflow. The reason why the underground river became a "river of blood" was because the explosion shook the iron oxide precipitated in the underground river.
That head must have belonged to someone from the kidnappers. Before the ghost owl and the Shura pomfret could eat the meat on it, it was washed out of the cave by the current.
"Get in!" The bald head's voice was like the call of a ghost.
Hu Zhouzhou helped Niu Jianguo and reluctantly walked in front. Qi Laoqi saw the bluestone sarcophagus above at a glance and scolded: "What kind of idea do you have with this hairy little way?" When I saw Xiaoyang's coffin, I dared not to squeak. β
I had to play dumb and say I wasn't looking.
Qi Laoqi said: "Phew, you treat me as a three-year-old child? You climb up immediately and see if there is a piece of jade in the coffin that is fat-headed, big-eared, pig-like and worm-like! β
This was a big surprise to me, didn't they come for the ghost flute? What is jade that looks like a pig and a worm?
I climbed up to the high platform and tried several times but couldn't push the lid of the bluestone sarcophagus open. The bald head pushed Hu Zhouzhou and asked him to come up too. The two of us worked together, and it took a lot of effort to push the bluestone sarcophagus lid open. Then another red lacquered wooden coffin appeared in front of us.
There is also a black lacquered wooden coffin under the red lacquered wooden coffin. After pushing the lid of the black lacquered wooden coffin open, a male corpse in armor appeared in front of us. The corpse is not decomposed, and there is a beige jade piece on its chest, which is shaped like a fat head and big ears, like a pig and a worm.
I was about to reach for it when I suddenly heard a deafening flapping of wings and a terrible cry that resembled a cat's. Oh no, the Ghost Owl is back! I grabbed the beige jade and hid it in my boot. As soon as I pulled out my dagger, I saw a large gray ghost whirling towards me.
The people underground were instantly surrounded by ghosts, and one by one the ghosts cried wolf. Rub, I trembled unconsciously, when I saw the ghost owls before, most of them chased after the Shura pomfret and only a few flew towards us Niu Jianguo were pecked into a blur of flesh and blood, and now the whole group of ghost owls is here, how can we resist it?
I caught a glimpse of Hu Zhouzhou, who was no better, and his face was also miserable.
The strange thing is that although there are many ghost owls, none of them fly to the high platform. That's right! King Yang knows a lot about the ghost owl, how could he not know the weakness of the ghost owl? In order to prevent the ghost owl from eating his corpse by mistake, he must have done something on the high platform at the beginning!
Qi Laoqi and his gang soon found that the ghost owl did not dare to approach the high platform, and scrambled to climb up.
Hu Zhouzhou rummaged in the coffin, and I said, "What are you doing?" He said, "I will quickly find the Devil Flute and order the Devil to destroy these people." I told him to hurry up, and I went to the high platform and trampled on all the grave robbers. The bald head was furious, and he wanted to shoot at me, but he was pecked in the wrist by several ghost owls, and he lost the gun in pain.
I was glad that Qi Laoqi had already shot me and yelled: "You fucking get out of the way!" "The bullet grazed my right hand and left a bloody mark on my shoulder. I didn't dare to be reckless, so I hurriedly retreated to the coffin and asked Hu Zhouzhou if he had found the ghost flute.
Hu Zhouzhou said: "It's strange. "When I looked at it, I found that there was only a relatively complete silk book in the coffin, and I don't know which dynasty it was. We don't know each other anyway.
As he spoke, Qi Laoqi and the others had already climbed up one after another. The bald head angrily rushed at me with a gun and said, "You want to kill us? I'm going to shoot you right now! I was in a hurry, grabbed the silk book in the coffin, and said, "Don't mess around! Otherwise, I'll ruin this silk book! β
Although the bald head didn't know what this silk book was for, he hesitated when he saw me threatening him with this object, and instinctively turned his head to look at Qi Qi. I hurriedly said, "This records the whereabouts of the jade you are looking for!" You'd better be honest, and if you dare to mess around, I'll tear it up!" β
Qi Laoqi was suspicious and said, "You don't brag." β
I sneered and said, "You don't believe it, do you?" All right. I was about to tear up, but Qi Laoqi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's not move, don't move!" The bald head reluctantly retreated, and I asked Niu Jianguo to come over quickly. The two of us faced each other at both ends of the bluestone sarcophagus.
Patches of ghost owls still whistling and hovering underfoot, and the terrible screams made people shudder.
I said, "If these things don't go, we'll only starve to death." Don't try to kill us all the time, it's imperative to find a way to get out of this hellish place together. β
Qi Laoqi's eyes rolled and he smiled: "What the buddies said is right. In order to show that we are working together, brother will give us the silk book first. β
I thought to myself, this is really an old fox. Hu Zhouzhou said: "Are you fools when we are? We gave you the silk book, do we still have a life? β
In this way, we are back to square one. After a moment of silence, I suddenly chuckled in my heart. I could clearly hear footsteps outside the cave!
Footsteps? Is there anyone else in this hole but us?
Before I could say anything, I heard an explosion and blood-red underground water gushing out. I instinctively grabbed the coffin, but it took less than a second to be swept away by the rushing river.
I saw Hu Zhouzhou not far from me, and I tried desperately to swim towards him, but the force of the current made all my efforts in vain. The jade mirror floated between us, as if we were in a hurry, but we couldn't use half of our strength.
I was thrown around by the current, and suddenly I felt a pain in the back of my head, and I didn't know anything.
