In the early morning, a heavy fog seemed to evaporate the ancient city of Xi'an from this world. Pedestrians take a few steps and disappear. All the cars had their fog lights on, like swarms of ladybugs crawling. Anne drove a small red car slowly along with the traffic. In fact, this car was given to her by her boyfriend Kang Tai two months ago. Because she had just gotten her driver's license and had never driven in such a fog, she was careful along the way. Her car was followed by a black car, driven by a handsome young man, who was Kang Tai.

They had planned to drive a car to the conference, but when they were about to leave the house, Anne received a call from the conference office, saying that the conference had a field trip project, and several experts did not have a car to sit in, so they were asked to drive a car each.

Let's get to know the lovers in general first! Although Anne is only 25 years old when she works in a cultural relics unit in Shaanxi Province, she has made several breakthrough research achievements less than a year after she left college. Kang Tai, a 27-year-old armed police officer, runs a cultural company and is an archaeology enthusiast.

Recently, this pair of lovers can really be said to be proud! The paper they co-authored, "The Tomb of Wu Cao and the Wordless Tablet," has caused a sensation in the archaeological circles, and their fame has become more and more famous. As a result, TV stations invited them to be guests, and various conferences in the industry invited them to give lectures. Moreover, the newspapers and the Internet called Kang Tai an elegant businessman, as well as a young expert, etc., and called Anne a beautiful scholar. These auras, combined with happiness in love, make the lovers see everything so beautifully that they forget that there is evil in this world.

At the same time that various media paid attention to them, Fang Dongsheng, the owner of "Beijing Oriental Culture Co., Ltd.", naturally targeted them.

In fact, this Fang Dongsheng is not as simple as the profession he is engaged in, as for what he wants to do?

Before they knew it, Kang Tai and Anne came into their sight. Soon, Fang Dongsheng actually sent two of his subordinates to inquire about the specific situation of the lovers.

After a few days, the two guys knew everything about Kang Tai and Anne, and even the addresses and phone numbers were clear.

Two

They opened five rooms in this luxury hotel, and on the door of one of the rooms, three big words "Conference Office" were pasted, and two middle-aged men sat inside, waiting for the arrival of Kang Tai and Anne.

Fang Dongsheng, who lives in another suite, appeared in the conference affairs group today as "the general manager of Beijing Oriental Culture Co., Ltd. and the sponsor of the conference." Today, they all call him "Mr. Hu", there must be something wrong with this, but now he is a mystery.

A little after eight o'clock, Kang Tai and Anne arrived. They followed each other into the "conference office".

"Is it here to report for the 'Wu Zetian Seminar'?" asked Kang Tai as he walked over to his desk.

The man sitting at the desk was the guy who secretly knew Kang Tai and Anne a few days ago, and he had known the lovers for a long time, but at this time he pretended to ask, "You are also here to attend the meeting, right?"

Anne thought it was ridiculous when she heard this question, and thought to herself, "Nonsense, we are not here for a seminar, so why are we here to make a fuss?" ”

Kang Tai calmly took out the meeting invitation card and showed it to him: "Here you go, you sent it to us by express mail." ”

The man took the invitation and looked at it, then quickly stood up and pretended to be surprised, and said, "You are Kang Tai and Anne? The man walked around the desk and walked over to Yasuta and Anne and said politely, "I'm sorry I was so lazy." I'll take you two to meet Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu admires you two very much! ”

"Mr. Hu?" Anne asked with some confusion, "This is an academic conference, why is there any Mr. Hu?"

"This meeting was sponsored by Mr. Hu, and all the expenses of the conference were paid by Mr. Hu. The man said, "Mr. Hu is the big boss of a cultural company in Beijing, and he has sponsored many academic conferences. ”

"I see. Anne said, "All right, then let's go and meet!"

Soon, the man took Kang Tai and Anne to Fang Dongsheng's room, but Fang Dongsheng was watching TV and didn't notice them at all. The man said respectfully, "Mr. Hu, Mr. Kang Tai and Miss Anne are here. ”

Fang Dongsheng hurriedly turned off the TV, stepped forward and shook hands with Kang Tai and Anne, and said, "Long Yang! Long Yang! Long Yang Two Great Names, please take a seat." ”

After Yasuta and Anne sat down, the man also withdrew with interest.

"I heard that Mr. Kang also runs a cultural company?" Fang Dongsheng asked as he looked at Kang Tai.

"It's a small company, and it can't be compared with Mr. Hu's. ”

"From small to big! More than ten years ago, my company was not too big! Grow slowly! You are still young. ”

Then Fang Dongsheng turned his mind and stared at Anne and asked, "Miss An must have been very busy lately, right?"

"It's fine, it's not too busy," said Anne, "just a little social." ”

"Of course, Miss Ann is a celebrity in the field of archaeology, and socializing will definitely be indispensable. ”

"Oh! Celebrities can't be talked about, compared to their predecessors. ”

"I can't say that, in fact, I heard of your name when I was in Beijing, and when I saw it today, it really deserved it! As he spoke, the guy's eyes swirled around Anne's body.

Anne was already a little impatient, and after glancing at him, she asked, "When is the meeting?"

"Oh! A few experts have proposed that we will meet again tomorrow, and we plan to hold some activities today. ”

Anne looked back at Kang Tai, trying to get him an idea. Kang Tai said: "Since you are here, let everyone be!"

Three

It's time to go. There were three people in Kangta's car, and three people in Anne's car. They were told to follow Mr. Hu's car closely.

At noon, they arrived at a small mountain village near Qianxian County, where they lived in a small farm compound with six tiled houses. It's actually a thief's home.

Anne and Kang Tai were both visiting such a remote mountain village for the first time, and they felt very fresh. After lunch, they did not rest, and watched from the front of the village to the back of the village. A few so-called experts also pretended that they had never been to the countryside and followed them every step of the way, saying things like "this mountain village is so beautiful and the air is so fresh."

The afternoon went by like that. Anne suddenly asked the man, "Isn't this the event scheduled for the meeting?"

The man froze for a moment and said, "Oh! Perhaps, Hu always wants everyone to relax, let's leave it alone, anyway, he pays for it." ”

After dinner, Fang Dongsheng deliberately asked the so-called experts in front of Kang Tai and Anne: "Where is there any fun? Let's go out and have fun again." Then he lit a brand-name cigarette and smoked it freely.

One of the thieves replied: "I heard from a fellow villager in the afternoon that there is an ancient battlefield 50 miles from here, and at night you can hear the neighing of ancient war horses, the shouts of soldiers and the sound of swords and guns, which is very mysterious." I asked for directions, but I don't know if you want to go. ”

"It's a pity not to go! Go, everyone goes! Just as one of the field trips, maybe we can still gain something!" Fang Dongsheng said as he extinguished the half-lit cigarette.

The so-called experts around all chimed in and said that they must go and see it.

"It must be a rumor. Anne said, "If I'm not mistaken, this area is where the tomb of Wu Cao is located, and there are no ancient battlefields. Even if there were ancient battlefields, that kind of sound would not appear. Because there is simply no place to store sound here. ”

"Since it was said by the fellow here, it is necessary to take a look, maybe there will be an unexpected discovery! Don't forget that this is the ancient city of Xi'an!" Kang Tai said with great interest.

"In that case, let's go and see it!" said Anne, "I agree not to doubt what I have learned, but not to spoil everyone's interest." ”

"Miss Ann is really easy-going. Fang Dongsheng took advantage of the situation and said, "Then, let's go now!"

Four

The car stopped at the foot of a bare hill, and the moonlight illuminated everyone who came out of the car in a strange light. Kang Tai came over and took Anne's hand and asked her if she was cold, and she said no.

"I always feel that this place is a little familiar. Anne said.

"I seem to feel that way, too. Kang Tai echoed.

"Let's go!" Fang Dongsheng glanced at everyone and climbed up.

Fang Dongsheng's move began to attract Kang Tai's attention, and this Mr. Hu seemed to be very familiar with this place. Looking at the staff of the two conference offices and those so-called experts, they did not follow Mr. Hu, but stood behind and on both sides of them, as if they wanted to kidnap them. He shook Anne's jade hand hard, but Anne didn't understand what he meant, just looked up at him.

"Let's go!" said a so-called expert beside Kang Tai.

"Let's go! Another so-called expert behind them said.

They took a few steps up before Anne saw clearly that this was Wu Zetian's cemetery, and it was not a so-called ancient battlefield at all.

"How did you get here?" said Anne, loosening the fur scarf around her neck, puzzled.

"Where is this?" asked Yasuta, looking around.

"Isn't that the tomb of Wu Cao up ahead?" replied Anne coldly.

"Oh. Kang Tai replied casually, and then shook Anne's hand hard, signaling her not to speak, and to think of a countermeasure for herself.

This time, Anne finally understood what Kang Tai meant. She also realized that there was something abnormal around her, and suddenly felt a chill on her body, so she grabbed Kang Tai's hand tightly.

But Kang Tai still wanted to confirm whether these people were bad people at this time, so he deliberately took Anne's hand and walked a few steps faster, a few steps slower, and sometimes picked a difficult place to walk. And those people are always following them, and the people on both sides are always on their sides, and the people behind them are always behind them. There is no doubt about this, this is a gang of gangsters, and that cunning Mr. Hu is their leader.

Kang Tai has only one thought now, and that is to protect Annie. There is only one way to protect Anne, which is to control the so-called Mr. Hu in their own hands, ask them to promise to let Anne leave, and then find a way to get out by themselves. With the hard kung fu he has cultivated in the armed police force, there should be no problem in doing this. As soon as he thought of this, he quickened his pace.

The so-called experts behind him, apparently suspicious of him, quickly pulled out a pistol and put it on his back, revealing their true colors as tomb robbers.

Five

A hole in the camouflage was dug open.

Kang Tai and Anne were surprised, it turned out that they had been prepared for a long time, such a difficult cemetery to dig could actually allow them to dig such a big hole, it seemed that this was a trap that had been planned for a long time.

Behind Kang Tai are two tomb robbers, and behind Anne is a tomb robber. They all had guns in their hands, and there was absolutely no room for movement.

"Now, let me make you understand. Fang Dongsheng suddenly turned to look at Kang Tai and Anne and said, "This piece of bluestone land has been controlled by us, and no one will disturb us." Don't worry, I don't want your lives or your car, as long as you can help me find the entrance to the dungeon and take out the contents inside, there will be nothing to do with you. I've always been a man of my word, and I'll definitely let you go, don't worry, we're asking for money, not for life. And, to be honest, I'm not afraid that you will go back and report the crime. The Ministry of Public Security wanted me a few years ago, but isn't there anything I should be doing now?"

"Could it be that you are that Fang Dongsheng?" asked Kang Tai with some surprise.

"That's right! You guessed it. Fang Dongsheng said, "Hmph! It seems that I am also a celebrity." Okay, let's go into the cave, or don't blame my men for being ruthless. Hmph, please, two. ”

"Can't enter, Yasuta. Anne plucked up her courage and said, "Don't say that I don't know where the entrance to this dungeon is, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." Let's die! We're not afraid! Hmph!"

"Good, good. Then you will die first. Fang Dongsheng threatened.

"Shoot! I don't know. With that, Anne closed her eyes tightly.

"No! Kang Tai said in a loud voice, "Let's go in and help them! Even if we don't get anything, we won't lose our lives, and we won't suffer." ”

"You-" Anne glared at Kangta, "you-how confused you are. ”

Kang Tai glanced at Anne, and then said to Fang Dongsheng, "I am a businessman, and money comes first in my mind. If we help you find something, we'll have to split it in half, or we'll not do it!"

"Okay! No problem! I'm a wanderer, and righteousness comes first in my mind!" Fang Dongsheng said in his mouth, but what he thought in his heart was, "Hmph! You kid thinks beautifully, you really found something, you and your girlfriend will rest in peace with this female emperor!"

Kang Tai turned his head and winked at Anne, who was angry, trying to make Anne understand his true intentions, but because it was too dark, Anne could not see his eyes clearly, and instead of understanding his intentions, she also aroused anger, slapped him hard and said, "Shameful villain!

Kang Tai didn't move, and he didn't react at all. He said to Fang Dongsheng: "If you want to find the entrance to the underground palace, you must do the work of my girlfriend, because he is an expert in this field." Please stand aside, I'm going to talk to her. ”

"Let's just say it!"

"That's not going to work!" said Kang Tai, "you have seen how resolute her attitude is, and if you don't go away, it won't make sense until dawn." ”

Fang Dongsheng thought about it carefully and said, "Let's go away, you go into the cave and say, it's always okay, right?"

"Alright!" Contai pulled Anne into the hole.

At this time, Anne seemed to understand something, and asked Kang Tai in a low voice, "What you just said is not the truth, right?"

"Silly girl!" said Kang Tai, holding Anne tightly in his arms, "am I that kind of person?"

"So, what are we going to do now?"

"They all have guns in their hands, and they can't fight hard. Let's divide the work first, your task is to find a way to delay time, and my task is to find a way to call the police. Quick, let's get started!"

Speaking of calling the police, both of them subconsciously looked for their mobile phones, but found that their mobile phones had already been stolen by the gang of thieves. The two of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. After calming down a little, Yasuta said again, "Forget it. Then we can only delay the time first, and I have my own way to delay it until dawn. ”

"If it doesn't work, then we'll die together. ”

"You can't think of Anne like that, and bring out your knowledge and wisdom and leave death to them. ”

After the two were silent for a while, Anne suddenly held Kang Tai's face with her hand and asked, "Kang Tai, did I hurt you just now? You don't hate me, do you?"

"My silly girl, how could I hate you! If it weren't for your slap, how would we have had a chance to speak alone!"

"You're so cute! If we're safe and sound, we'll get married next week." ”

"I've finally waited for your words!" Kang Tai also held Anne's little face, and at the same time, the lips of the two touched together, kissing affectionately. ------

"How's the talk?" Fang Dongsheng was anxious and shouted towards the cave.

"Wait, I'm more anxious than you!" replied to Kang Tai, and then said to Anne, "be calm, and try to deal with them with wisdom, and not be brutal." ”

"Give you another ten minutes!" Fang Dongsheng shouted into the cave again.

This time, Kang Tai didn't pay attention to him, but said to Anne in a deep voice: "After you go out for a while, you can talk to him about the conditions, and say that we want to divide more things------"

"I know what to do. Anne said, "Let's be quiet for a while! ”

Six

More than ten minutes later, they came out. Fang Dongsheng asked: "Does it make sense? It's long enough!"

"It makes sense, but the conditions have to change. ”

"How?"

Anne continued, "We both have our own businesses, and this time we are involved in tomb robbing, and we are just like you. Hey, you have to live without a permanent home, and it takes a lot of money. So if we help you get those things, we're going to pick the three most valuable treasures first, and we'll split the rest in half. ”

"Hmph! You're greedy. Well, without you, I'd have had a hard time getting my hands on it. Whatever!" Fang Dongsheng said, "Then, let's go into the cave." ”

"This hole is not good, the direction is wrong, you must have dug it casually. Gotta make another hole. ”

"You don't mean to stall, do you? Don't play tricks on me, it's useless. ”

"Hmph, if you don't believe me, then I won't say anything more, you can do it yourself!"

Fang Dongsheng took a few steps back and forth and said, "Miss An, calm your anger." Okay, I'll trust you once, where do you say you're fighting?"

"I'll have to take a look. After Anne finished speaking, she began to walk around the other bluestone field while drawing with her hands, as if she was seriously analyzing and observing. The two grave robbers were still on her heels. Fang Dongsheng looked at it in disbelief.

Anne pointed to a place and said, "Let's fight from here." ”

"Are you optimistic?" asked Fang Dongsheng.

"Look!" replied Anne in the affirmative.

"Don't play tricks, if we open this hole and you say you're going to fight, then ------"

Fang Dongsheng turned the gun in his hand a few times and said, "You can only live so big." You answer me again, are you optimistic?"

"You don't believe me, I don't need to answer you anymore!"

"Okay, OK! I believe you. Fang Dongsheng sneered and said, "Brothers, do it!"

It turned out that the place Anne was pointing to was another hole in the guise of the tomb robbers, and the thieves opened the hole in a few clicks. Anne and Kang Tai were dumbfounded at the same time, thinking that these guys are really gods, such a difficult to dig Wu Cao Tomb can be dug by them such a big hole, this is much bigger than the first hole, it is really incredible.

"What are you doing standing stupidly, please come in!" Fang Dongsheng said in a smug tone.

Anne looked at Kang Tai, and Kang Tai also looked at Anne, and in desperation, the two had to go in first, and soon the tomb robbers followed in with a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other.

Seven or eight large flashlights illuminated the cave as if it were daylight. There is a lot of space in the cave, and there are pickaxes and shovels inside, as well as several fallen stone men and stone horses. So where is the entrance to the dungeon? When Anne's eyes fell on the stone man in the northeast corner who had not yet been dug down, her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated! I saw that the stone man's left eye was very empty, and the eyeball seemed to be able to turn. She guessed that the eyeball was probably the button of a mechanism, and if she moved it, she didn't know what would happen. Yasuta also noticed that the stone man was unusual, and realized the danger of the situation.

"Two experts, aren't we here to appreciate this stone man?" Fang Dongsheng said, "It seems that our previous efforts have not been in vain, Miss An is really good eyesight." Let's go on! There are many stone figures buried in this tomb, and one can be dug up with a spade, and it is not easy to find an entrance! Tell me, what are we going to do next?"

"Of course, we will continue to dig holes," Yasuta continued, "but we must be sure to dig in that direction." ”

This reminded Anne, and she left the stone man and walked to the stone in the northeast corner, looked at it, and said, "By the way, you can dig in this direction." ”

"Dig a hole again. Do you think I'm a fool? I didn't invite you to dig a hole. Fang Dongsheng said viciously, "It seems that you are playing tricks with me!"

Fang Dongsheng waved his hand, and the muzzles of those tomb robbers were all aimed at Kang Tai and Annie.

"Give you another minute, I'll look at my watch. When the time comes, you won't have a chance. If I don't get it, you pay it back with your life. ”

Fang Dongsheng really raised his arm and stared at the watch on his wrist. Kang Tai also saw this opportunity, and threw that Fang Dongsheng to the ground as soon as he threw himself forward, snatched his pistol, and pressed it against his temple. This series of actions can be described as a thunderbolt, and a group of tomb robbers were all stunned.

"Count you ruthless, put forward conditions. Fang Dongsheng said.

"Tell my girlfriend to get out of here right away, and no one is allowed to follow me. Kang Tai said.

"No, I'm not leaving you! Anne said hurriedly.

"Hey, be careful, she doesn't want to leave! Fang Dongsheng said in a strange voice.

"Anne, get out of here, do you hear me? Kang Tai turned his head to Anne in a commanding tone.

This Fang Dongsheng is not an idle person, he saw that Kang Tai was distracted, and grabbed Kang Tai's hand with the gun, and the two rolled into one place, and the gun also fell on the sand.

"Get started! Fang Dongsheng shouted loudly, and only then did those tomb robbers react, and they rushed up to deal with Kang Tai. Anne hurriedly grabbed a pickaxe and raised it, and a tomb robber saw it, turned around and snatched it, and threw it out. The pickaxe was impartial, and it hit the stone man's left eye. A batch of sand fell with a "boom", and a stone door engraved with a dragon and phoenix pattern was revealed in an instant. Then there was a muffled thunderous sound, and the stone door opened automatically, and after two dazzling golden lights, a wind tunnel with no end in sight appeared.

Just as these people were terrified, the strong gravitational pull sucked them in one by one, like sucking some paper figures.
