Chapter 17: The Boxer Treasure
I motioned to Lin Mei and Xueliyu to step back, and whispered my plan, Lin Mei didn't say anything, Xueliyu said: "These soldiers are well-trained, I'm afraid that they may not leave if they are shocked, at least some of them will not leave, if you don't want to kill them, not only will you not be able to enter, but you will alarm everyone, even the soldiers on the periphery will also come." ”
There is also a possibility of this, and I asked, "So what can my sister do?" ”
"Either kill a few more people, or don't do anything, and wait until the person with the jade talisman leaves, and volley halfway. But there is also a problem, we don't know whose body the jade talisman is on, and we don't know if he will leave first. ”
I have to get the jade talisman, but I don't want to kill too many innocent people, it's going to be difficult. We couldn't think of a good way to do it, and we continued to clean and excavate inside, and from time to time someone carried the soil out, so we had to wait and see what happened.
After waiting for more than an hour, I became a little impatient, but at this time there was a change. There were several people coming out of the cloth, all of them with muddy faces, and holding shovels, pickaxes, and shovels in their hands, and they were obviously digging underneath.
Is this going to be a shift change? After the five diggers came out, four more people with less dirt on their bodies came out, and then a man in an officer's uniform came out and said to the soldiers outside: "Xiao Wang, you reverse the off-road vehicle inside, and the digging squad will rest on the bus and stand by, and the others will retreat 20 meters to be on guard, and they will not be allowed to come in without an order." ”
"Yes!" The soldiers received the order and immediately began to move.
The three of us suddenly came to our senses, God helped me, they actually drove the guards out by themselves. Presumably, treasures have been dug up inside, so in order to prevent these soldiers from seeing, they were driven out and drove the off-road vehicle inside to load the treasure.
Twenty meters is really not far away, and it is still within the warning range. But with a gap of twenty meters in the night, the soldiers could not see inside the tarpaulin without lights, and their range expanded, and the distance between them increased, so Lin Mei and Xueliyu had a way to enter.
The officer looked anxious, and hurried in after the explanation, Xiao Wang went to drive, and the other soldiers scattered, and they were nervous for a long time before they relaxed, and joked with each other.
I motioned for Lin Mei and Xueli Yu to act, and the two of them immediately and silently crossed between the guards, lurking in the darkness. In fact, after the expansion of the range, the guards were no longer able to form a complete encirclement, mainly guarding the roads and open spaces on both sides, and there were many places with gaps. They were mainly guarding against the locals, but they didn't expect a martial arts master to come.
I silently recited the incantation and activated the invisibility talisman, went straight to the invisibility state, and stood outside the tarpaulin and waited. When Xiao Wang drove the off-road vehicle to lift the tarpaulin, I walked in openly, and after Xiao Wang reversed the car, he glanced at it and went out.
There was a lot of space in it, with two people guarding the mouth of the well, and a small folding table and a few small chairs with tea and the like on it. Two sets of batteries are used for lighting, there is a small lamp on the top of the center of the cloth tent, and there is also a small lamp above the wellhead, probably to save electricity, at this time only the light at the wellhead is on, much darker than before. There was also a wire hanging down into the well, apparently using this power supply for lighting underneath.
I hesitated for a moment, but decided not to turn off the lights, because going out would cause people outside and below to be vigilant. When Xiao Wang went out and walked away, I suddenly made a move, and hit the left and right temples of the two people at the wellhead with both fists, and the two fell down without making a sound. I held one by the hand and the other with my foot so that they wouldn't fall to the ground and make too much noise. I used measured force, just knocked them out, didn't kill them.
I turned the light bulb twice, and the little light went out, and the tent became dark, with only a faint glimmer of light coming out of the well. Xiaoxue immediately informed Lin Mei and Xueliyu of their actions, and the two quickly approached and got in. Because the inside was as dark as the outside, the tarpaulin at the entrance was only a flicker, and they came in silently, which should not alarm the people twenty meters away.
I turned the light gun in reverse, the light turned on again, listened carefully, there was no special sound outside, and the people in the well did not ask, we successfully sneaked in! Before I could speak, Xueliyu poked at each of the two people I had knocked unconscious, tapping their acupoints to prevent them from waking up.
I condensed my voice and said to Lin Mei, "You are guarding here." ”
Lin Mei immediately shook her head vigorously, very resolutely, I couldn't force her, so I had to say, "Then you wait a while and come down, I'll go down first."
Lin Mei nodded in agreement, and Xueliyu made a gesture: act now, don't procrastinate.
There is a simple winch at the head of the well, and the depth of the well is 12 to 15 meters, and the bottom of the small section of the well wall is not masonry, and there is a little water accumulation, which is trampled into mud. In order not to alarm the people below, Xiaoxue completely hid inside my body and restrained her breath. I concentrated that there should be a total of four people, and two of them had strong true qi fluctuations and were masters. However, none of them are below us, but in the passage dug horizontally, and the figures can be seen shaking, indicating that the horizontal passage is not deep.
I climbed down the soft ladder, and before I was halfway there, I heard a hidden voice from below: "This is it." ”
After a pause of two seconds, another somewhat old voice said, "Didn't you say a piece?" How can there be seven pieces? ”
Zangzang said: "Only this piece of Gen hexagram is real, and the others are all good products, so take them away." Company Commander Li, is it arranged above? The less people know about it, the better. ”
"It's arranged, the people outside have been branched out, and only two people are responsible for lifting on it, and they don't know what it is if they don't open the box."
"Alright, let's start moving."
The company commander Li answered, the figure shook, and he had already begun to walk out. I hurriedly accelerated my speed and descended, and Xueliyu followed me down, and I also heard the sound below, and actually dropped the soft ladder, grabbed the rope of the sling, and slid down rapidly, overtaking me and falling down.
Company Commander Li walked out, felt the wind and raised his head, the jade in the blood had already fallen from the sky like a divine soldier, and before his feet landed, he smashed his head with a knife and a sheath. Company Commander Li immediately rolled his eyes and staggered and fell, and was knocked unconscious.
"Who!" Misty and another cultivator let out a low snort and ran out. Xueliyu pulled out the sword and rushed in, and only then did I fall to the bottom of the well, and at first glance I saw an arm flying.
The two veterans are also considered masters, but they are still a lot worse than the blood jade, and at this time, there are no sharp weapons in their hands, and the space is small, where can they stop the blood jade? The two only let out a single exclamation, one had no head, and the other had a broken hand and was stabbed in the heart, and both fell.
Fast, accurate, ruthless, if you don't shoot, it's enough, as soon as you shoot, you will be killed, and the name of the first master of the evil way is not false.
The hidden apprentice Sima Nan was completely stunned, and Xueliyu slashed at his neck with a knife, and I hurriedly shouted to Xueliyu with a sound transmission: "Don't kill him!" ”
The blood in the jade was no longer able to contain the momentum, the hand slammed, the knife slanted down, and a wound was drawn on Sima Nan's chest, and the scabbard of the left hand was slapped on Sima Nan's head, knocking him unconscious.
Xueliyu glared back at me and said in a low voice, "It's all a nest of snakes and rats, why don't you kill them?" If you don't kill today, you're afraid of leaving behind trouble. ”
I said resolutely: "No, when Lu Chengshan wanted to kill me in the past, Mizang once said good things for me, and he never repaid him, and it was too much to kill him today, and he must not kill his disciples again." Besides, Sima Nan is just a big child, give him a way out. ”
Xueliyu was a little annoyed: "Do you think I'm killing people again?" As far as the two of you said, Lu Chengshan killed nearly 100 people in the Snake Intestine Valley, and he didn't let go of the old and young women, do you mean he is ruthless or am I ruthless? These two Taoist priests and Lu Chengshan are the same raccoon dogs, as Taoist priests dressed like this, sneaky, do you dare to say that they have not pretended to be righteous and have gone on a killing spree? In the face of the enemy, either you die or I die, and you can't be soft in the slightest! ”
"Yes, yes......" I can only vaguely accept the education, I have some regrets about the death of the mist, but I don't dare to say more to anger the blood jade, otherwise she may kill all the people outside under her rampage. Xueliyu didn't kill Company Commander Li, which shows that she has been very restrained and only kills "people in the rivers and lakes", so I can't blame her anymore.
Lin Mei also slipped down, and seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she hurriedly said: "We have tried not to hurt people, this is the best situation, take your things and go." ”
Our eyes fell to the innermost part of the passage, where a vaulted space about a man high was made of blue bricks, and inside were neatly arranged wooden chests, the wood had turned black and was somewhat rotten. Most of the boxes are 80 centimeters long, about 60 centimeters wide and high, and a few are slender and nearly 1.5 meters long, with a total of no less than dozens of boxes.
Three chests have been opened, lined with a layer of tarpaulin and several layers of oiled paper, two of which contain a variety of jewels and jewels, and the other contains a variety of thread-bound ancient books...... This is a bit unexpected, and most people don't think of ancient books as treasures.
I searched on the hidden body and found seven jade talismans, except for the Kun hexagram. Back then, the Boxers originated from the Bagua Sect, and these eight jade talismans should be tokens of the Bagua Sect, but only two of them are true, and the others are all made up of the number. Among them, the genuine Kun Hexagram Jade Talisman was taken to the Snake Intestine Valley and was already in my hands, so there are only seven pieces here. Among these seven pieces, only one of the hexagram jade talismans is genuine, and the others are all genuine products
What surprised me a little was that in addition to the six fake jade talismans, which I did not have, the other five were very similar to the jade talismans on my body in terms of size, shape, and color, which was enough to achieve the place where the real thing was fake. The only difference is that the spiritual power contained in it is too different, and it can be sensed immediately when you hold it in your hand. It seems that the people who forged this set of jade talismans had a deep study of the jade talismans, and according to some documents, it took two existing genuine pieces to create six pieces of jade talismans, so that they could be so similar.
Now I have seven genuine pieces and six pieces of real pieces, and I'm about to make two sets.
