Chapter Ninety-Seven: Closing the Net
It was not early, and Nuoya arranged accommodation for the guests in Handan City, and invited everyone to dine at Taiwei Building.
Nuoya and Bailijiu naturally had to accompany each other, because they had to send off guests on the second day, so they explained in advance that Master Tian and others were responsible for the final finishing matters, and they would not be able to return to the mountain until the afternoon of the next day.
At the stone gate of the mausoleum, Master Tian prepared the loess mixed with glutinous rice water in advance, and it was necessary to wipe all the gaps.
This method was proposed by Yuan Bao, and he was worried that there would be people with bad intentions who would covet the mausoleum of the Murong family in the future, so he told Master Tian about the anti-tomb technique that was circulating in the rivers and lakes.
When the group rushed to the Thai flavor building successively, after three rounds of wine, Yuan Bao and Guan Luo took advantage of their free time, one took a pot of wine to quench their thirst, and when they were proud, they boasted complacently in front of Guan Luo about their foresight.
Guan Luo was quite unimpressed by this, and pouted: "Some tomb robbers are clever, can a bucket of mud stop the tomb robbers?" If someone really gets tired of life, let's try the power of the mechanism I set up in the tomb. ”
Yuan Bao was suddenly unhappy, especially when there were other guests in front of him, and it was not okay to lose face: "Your organs are all set up in the mausoleum, if the tomb robbers enter the mausoleum, even if they lose their lives?" Didn't you disturb Old Man Murong's purity? It's just a matter of making amends. ”
Of course, these words are all arguing behind Noah's back, and they are not so blind to talk about these issues in front of Noah, although the starting point is good, it can be regarded as a rainy day.
The two of them are needle-pointed, you come and go, and naturally they don't give in to each other. What Yuan Bao said was a little mean.
Guan Luo came up with momentum, and went straight to Noya, who was busy thanking the guests, and said: "Even if I stay here, I can't help much, so I will go back to the mountains first, I want to set up another Zhuge formation around the mausoleum to ensure that no one can get close to the mausoleum within three feet." ”
He was angry and wanted to compare the ingots.
Noah was a little puzzled: "Why did you suddenly remember this?" We'll talk about it tomorrow when we go back to the mountain. ”
The ingots who came over snorted disdainfully: "In addition to being able to pick the door and slip the lock, he can also brag about it, the Zhuge formation is infinitely mysterious, how could he do it as a yellow-mouthed child?" ”
Guan Luo suddenly glared angrily, like a fighting with high morale: "What if you can't get close after I set up the formation?" ”
Yuan Bao said without thinking: "If you can lay out the formation, I will call you ancestor!" ”
Guan Luo pointed to Yuanbao's nose and said, "A gentleman's word!" ”
"Whip the horse!" Yuan Bao didn't take him seriously at all, and said disdainfully: "What if you can't? ”
Guan Luo also gritted his teeth and said, "I call you Ancestor!" ”
"It's a deal!"
"I'm waiting for you to call your ancestor!"
"Hehe, you better rub some honey on your mouth, and call it sweeter when the time comes."
Nuoya was ushering in the send-off, very busy, seeing the two at this time, they actually quarreled, and waved their hands to Guan Luo: "Then you go back to the mountain first, I'm afraid it will be the middle of the night after we are busy, so we will stay in Handan City, and send off the guests tomorrow and then return to the mountain." The mountains are full of craftsmen, so you have to worry about it. ”
Guan Luo responded, glared at Yuan Bao provocatively, turned around and walked out of the restaurant, turned over his horse, and galloped back to Hanshan.
Guan Luo only drank water and wine in the restaurant, did not eat, and returned to the villa, just as the craftsmen were busy and were about to start eating. He leaned over, first took the food from the pot, devoured it, and said to Master Tian in a muffled voice: "You guys take care of yourself after eating, I made a bet with Yuanbao that if you want to lay two more mechanisms outside the mausoleum, it may be busy all night, and you don't need to arrange someone to guard the mausoleum." ”
Master Tian admired this clever young man, and in addition, he was a friend of Noah, and he called one sister after another, and Master Tian didn't know what the relationship was, so he responded in one bite.
Guan Luo wiped his mouth and poured a bowl of tea in one gulp: "I'll go find some materials for arranging the organs first." ”
Master Tian was extremely enthusiastic: "Shall I join you?" I can also take a hand. ”
Guan Luo refused at once: "You don't know what kind of thing you need, this must be fine and accurate." ”
Master Tian touched his head: "That's right, if you need help, you just ask." ”
Guan Luoli landed in response, and he had already disappeared from the smoke.
When night fell, the craftsmen had been working all day, yawning for a long time, and they could not open their eyes. I heard that I didn't have to be on duty all night, so I shook it all back to my shack.
These people were all picked up by Noah who were honest and reliable, and deliberately stayed, saying that they still had work to do.
Master Tian is also in good spirits today, and the dry tobacco pot can't lift any spirits. He sighed to himself: "This loosening of the strings just can't work, and then sat on the stone, leaned back against the shack and fell asleep with his eyes closed."
Guan Luo came over quietly, checked around the shack one by one, and saw that everyone was all unconscious, and then he put his mind at ease, turned around and returned to the mausoleum, and slapped his palm lightly three times, and immediately two black-clothed people fell in front of him like cotton wool, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "See the leader!" ”
Guan Luo smiled proudly, and looked a little hideous under the cool moonlight: "Immediately act according to the original plan." Pay attention to the passage down the mountain must be strictly guarded, if there is any wind and grass, you must signal in time. ”
The two of them gave up, and immediately a few rabbits fell and disappeared into the night behind them. Guan Luo turned around, changed his usual laughter, walked to the mausoleum, took out a blade as thin as a willow leaf from the treasure bag he carried, and then jumped, and his body was like a gecko lying firmly on the boulder that had sealed the door, and then stretched out two slender fingers, groped for a moment on the boulder that was two people high, found the right position, and slowly stretched two fingers that looked as hard as iron into the boulder!
But in a matter of moments, he heard the slightest sound of a prick, and he dodged and jumped down, and the stone door actually moved a gap to the side. He steadied his horse, raised his hand, and the heavy boulder was gently pushed aside by him, revealing the wide tomb door.
Guan Luo took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit the ever-bright lamp on his right, and the lamp in the tomb was lit up and extended to the inside.
He had just leaned out, bypassed the mausoleum, and looked towards the intersection of the mountain, when heavy footsteps sounded, and a group of black-clothed masked men each carried a long wooden box, slowly ascending the stairs from the bottom of the mountain, and the steps were heavy, obviously the contents of the wooden box must be not light.
"Move faster so as not to change." Guan Luo commanded in a low voice.
The man in black gritted his teeth and quickened his steps, already exhausted and panting.
"There is a lantern in the tomb to guide the way, enter according to the direction of the guide, and put all the goods in the tomb or the ear chamber." Guan Luo raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the tomb door: "Elder Lei, you are responsible for leading the way and commanding!" Elder Dian, you are in charge of guarding the surroundings, but if you find any trouble, your subordinates will never show mercy and immediately cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
The two arched their fists to indicate that they received the order, and then each performed their duties.
There were people in black who kept coming up the mountain, all carrying wooden boxes, and there were as many as one or two hundred people, and they kept going back and forth until it was deeper in the middle of the night, and someone stepped forward and replied: "Leader Qiqi, all the goods have been delivered." ”
"Are you sure that the vaults in the mountains have been emptied?" Guan Luo asked uneasily.
"It's all emptied."
"Good! Let her go to the air tomorrow and see how proud she is? Guan Luo laughed and said: "No matter how smart she is, she would never have dreamed that I would hide all these weapons in the tomb of her father and mother." ”
"The leader is really full of scheming, but he is the world's Zhuge of the world." The man immediately flattered.
"I don't think it's a lot of scheming, it's a lot of tricks, right?"
The sudden sound of speaking startled the man, and he took three steps back in a row, almost falling to the ground: "Who?!" ”
Two figures jumped down from the trees on the side, shook their heads and said: "Look at you, such a fuss, look at your pavilion master, don't be surprised, Mount Tai collapsed in front and did not move, you have to learn more." ”
"Absolute Ground!" The man's face turned pale instantly, and his face was incredulously shocked.
Although Guan Luo on the side didn't seem to be surprised, in fact, he was more surprised than anyone else, just pretending to be calm.
"Diju, it seems that I underestimated you." Guan Luo said coldly: "I have martial law at the foot of the mountain, how did you come up?" ”
Noah smiled disdainfully: "You forget, I have lived in this mountain villa for twelve years, so I naturally know where there are trails to reach the mountain villa. Besides, do you think that with your subordinates, you can really cast an iron wall under the mountain? ”
"Looks like you already knew about my plans."
Noah nodded: "There is no absolutely seamless plan in the world, there will always be clues that make people suspicious. ”
"Where did I get exposed?"
Noah shook her head: "Actually, you are really perfectly disguised, if it weren't for your own cleverness, in order to dispel our doubts, let that fake pavilion master leak his whereabouts and be killed by us, maybe I would have been convinced of you." After all, in the Valley of the Killers, you rescued me from prison and stole the antidote for me, so I shouldn't have any doubts about you out of this touch. ”
Guan Luo smirked: "I originally just wanted to kill you forever, but who knew that you would provoke such a powerful opponent for our Killer Pavilion." I had already received information that Bailijiu had already transferred troops in the direction of Pingdingshan. Even if I kill you, he will inevitably wipe out my Killer Pavilion under his anger, and I don't have the confidence to be able to compete with him.
The lesser of two evils, you can only abandon the car to protect the commander, abandon the camp of the Killer Pavilion, and some inconsequential minions, and then hide your whereabouts, lurk in front of you, waiting for the opportunity to move. As for the antidote, although I would love your death, it really doesn't matter to me whether you die or live. ”
