59. Tomb of the Great General

The two skeletons I saw before were only a small part of them, and there were at least a dozen skeletons in different clothes and decorations in this small cave, but these people had a common feature, basically everyone had guns around them, some were pistols, and even miniature submachine guns, and the stone walls in the cave were also full of bullet holes or bullet casings that had withdrawn from the chamber, which showed how fierce the battle broke out in this small space at that time.

Two of these dead were dressed in the same garment, and both of them had emeralds on their foreheads, they were dressed in vintage cowhide robes, except for the one who died with the people at the entrance of the cave, and there was one kneeling in the innermost part of the cave, he pressed his hands on the hilt of a long sword inserted into the earth, so he did not fall, and his head rested on a naturally formed stone wall recess, looking up at the entrance of the cave, and the unswerving spirit of death could still be clearly felt many years after his death.

The robes of these two skeletons were covered with dense bullet holes, and each of them had received at least twenty bullets, could it be that these modern people who died in the holes were all killed by these two men with long swords? Why this massacre? Is there really a human race in the world with emeralds on their foreheads? This unexpected discovery made me feel even more incredible.

Walking into the corpse near the cave and seeing a word written in blood in front of his corpse, although the color of the blood turned yellowish brown over time, but this is the handwriting of modern people, so that I can see clearly, he wrote: "Yu father and son tried their best to guard the tomb of the general not to be disturbed by outsiders, but there were many foreign enemies, Yu Zi tried his best to die in battle, Yu was also seriously injured and died soon after, if the later people do not have the heart of profit, do not have the thought of trance, must stick to the secret of this cave, do not divulge half a point, the general for the country and the people." After death, the remains must not be humiliated by foreign people, the Chinese people must remember that although Yu died in battle, he is willing to stick to this cave with his soul for 10,000 years, if there are outlaws who are greedy and delusional to disturb the general's heroic soul to rest, although Yu will not forgive him even if he dies. ”。

The last sentence is loud, it seems that there are two loyal guards in the cave, but from the font of his words and the analysis of the weapons carried by the other party, this tragic battle should have happened in the past few years, in other words, everyone should be modern people, but there can be such a superb person in swordsmanship among modern people, with the power of two people to kill dozens of opponents with guns, this kung fu is really shocking.

However, according to the meaning of his words, this seems to be a tomb where it is, because the fire of the burning clothes can only shine on a limited area, so I took off all the clothes on the upper body, lit it and threw it forward, sure enough, I saw that the person relied on the left side of the stone wall, there was a huge offering platform, there was a red sandalwood plaque erected on the altar, the golden words on the wooden card shining under the firelight were the words "Dragon General", and after the offering platform was a huge bronze coffin, it is estimated that the bones of the Dragon General were located, It turns out that the "Dragon General" carved on the stele is a real person, so as a judgment that the "Mobei and Dragon Tomb" I saw before should all be existing things, this time it still broke the limit of my imagination, is there a huge secret buried here that belongs to the history of the Central Plains? Thinking of this, my heart involuntarily pounded.

At this time, the clothes are about to burn out, the fire gradually becomes weak, just as I was about to take off my pants, I saw dozens of thick white candles neatly placed under the altar, this should be the incense candle used in the sacrifice to the dragon general, thinking of this, I took out two lit and inserted them on the candlestick of the altar, and then lit one in my hand and tiptoed to the huge bronze coffin, only to see that the top of the coffin is a carved lifelike figure relief statue, the facial expressions of the characters seem to be majestic, and there is a domineering and arrogant spirit that looks down on the world, his left hand is on his waist, and his right hand is pressed by a strangely shaped sword.

The big sword is said because the sword is very large, the sword is generally bounded by three feet, less than a short sword, and a heavy sword, but the sword held by this general is almost up to his neck, of course, it may also be because he is short, but the purpose of the statue is to show the best characteristics of the other party, I think the carver will not use this contrast to express the shortness of the sword bearer even if the brain is in the water, so the only possibility is that this sword is indeed larger than the conventional.

And it is strange because the sword body of this sword is not a traditional shape of one tip and two blades, the sword body is a winding and undulating dragon body, the tip of the sword is the tail of the dragon, and the dragon's belly is ground into a smooth and sharp side, the thorns on the dragon's back are stretched at the root, so the two sides of the sword can be used to sharpen and wipe, and the other can be used to split and stab, so if it is not for the pair of hilts shaped like eagle wings, and the handle of the dragon's head spitting beads, I really can't see that this is a sword, it is estimated that this person should be the owner of the tomb: the dragon swordsman, and the "general" called by the skeleton, But can there be a connection between the general and the swordsman? I was a little skeptical of my own judgment.

Anyway, I can't find any information I need here, there are only coffins and dead people here, but from the old man easily put me and me into such a secret place, it seems that he still doesn't know the information about the death of the father and son in the tomb, these two parties may be one side guarding the position of the entrance, and the other side is guarding the position of the exit, I picked up a life in a daze, otherwise the old man would never let me leave this place alive, but in any case, I still have respect for the two father and son who fought to the death in the cave, and kept my promise, A person who dies for the sake of his mission should always be worthy of the respect of others.

And in the face of so many invading enemies, they did not flinch in the slightest, this courage alone is enough to make people admire, it seems that these people are willing to sacrifice everything they have for the "dragon swordsman", which makes me even more curious about the dragon swordsman, what kind of character is this? And what is the connection between his mission and the Dragon's Tomb? A strong curiosity almost made me turn around and ask the old man outside the stone gate, but reason kept me from killing myself, and before leaving, I bowed to the coffin of the dragon swordsman, a swordsman who could make people willing to give so much was definitely a good man, although I had never heard of such a figure.

Then I returned to the path out of the cave, and there was nothing unusual along the way, and at the end of the road there were two forks in the road in front of me, as the old man said, and I was going to enter the hole on the left as he said, but as soon as I took a step, I shrank back, because the distrust of the old man made me have to reconsider whether I should take this step according to what he said.

After thinking for a long time, I gritted my teeth and walked towards the hole on the right, since I didn't believe him, of course, there was no need to follow the intersection he pointed out, but for the sake of safety, I walked very cautiously, fortunately, my choice was completely correct, I didn't encounter any danger all the way out of this hole, when I pushed the wooden plank on the top, I saw that I was on the back of a huge locust tree, sitting on the sunny grass, I took a deep breath, and finally experienced the joy of "the rest of my life after the catastrophe" for the first time.

However, when I got up and turned out of the tree, I was completely stunned by what I saw.

What I saw was the dense orange grove at the foot of Tieniu Mountain, what was going on? How did I get to this place? Puzzled, he turned around and a more astonishing scene appeared.

I had obviously come out of the hole, but when I turned around to look for the hole, the mountains were rocky, the land was lush with vegetation, and there was no hole, not even a rat hole.

I suddenly remembered what Ni Jiming said about the history recorded by his grandfather in his diary, could it be that I just passed by the land of ancient castles?

The more you think about it, the more likely it becomes, because the cave is actually where an ancient tomb is located, and it is very fitting for people who don't know the inside story to describe it as an ancient castle.
