Chapter 497: The Ruins of the Old Temple

We opened the brocade bag and really found a jade pendant from inside, but the pattern on it was not a happy picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water.

"Look at these two mandarin ducks, it seems that they are living in great pain, and one of them has broken its wings. Wu Shu said.

I said, "Whatever it is we need, take it away." ”

Sun Er didn't say a word, and took the initiative to take on Liu Laosi's task and put away all the things we found.

"It's not a way either, how can I get things out?" Sun Er said.

I glanced at Wu Shu and said, "You should have a way, it stands to reason that it won't be too difficult to transport these things out?"

"Laborious. ”

"What's the effort, let's talk about it, let's think of ideas. ”

The three of us finally decided that Wu Shu would go out first, get a rope, tie a knot on the rope, and then make the rope into a loop.

One end of the rope is placed in the dark room in the cemetery, and the other end is handed to Wu Shu outside, and after tying everything in the dark room, I slowly pull it outward, and when I get to the outside, I will take the things next.

In less than an hour, we moved almost all the things out of the dark room, brought good things, and when we passed by Liu Laosi's house, Wu Shu opened the mechanism and directly put valuable things in.

"It's really thanks to having such a place as the old house of the old four families. Sun Erdao.

I asked Wu Shu, "How many people can your agency resist to destroy the old mansion?"

"This time, they dug up the old house, and they don't want to find out about our dark room. "Wu Shu is very confident.

I said, "Why are you so confident?"

"Because I have designed a special ecstasy mechanism in it, and after the mechanism is opened, it will automatically recover after a few days, which means that as long as the mechanism can't find the key, no one will want to break it. Wu Shu said.

I gave me a thumbs up, praised the martial arts, and then opened two cemeteries in succession according to the previous plan, both of which went very well, but the money we received was relatively small, and it was only enough for us to eat and drink on the road.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the cemetery of King Zhao Wuling, I said: "Where is there another cemetery, if it is far away, let's go find the book of raising horses first." ”

"It shouldn't be far away, I feel that these two cemeteries should be relatively close to each other, and I can't say which one will come first. Sun Er said.

I said, "I remember there should be a ruined temple in front of here." ”

"How do you remember so clearly?"

"When I first participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising, I passed through this place, and I hid in the temple for a few days to avoid being chased and killed. ”

At this point I didn't want to go any further, so we went into the city, and there were soldiers coming to stop us, and we took out the token.

I thought that this token would allow us to pass easily, but what we didn't expect was that we were directly stopped by the soldiers.

"You're spies, what's the purpose of coming to us?"

"Well, don't you know our token?" I said.

The soldier chuckled and said, "Whose token are you holding, and you dare to come to us?"

I looked down at the token we presented, and it was actually from the Jiangdong Sun family.

Wu Shu was a little nervous, and his hand was on the handle of the knife on his waist.

I took a dozen tokens from my bosom and placed them in front of the two soldiers.

The soldier was stunned and smiled, "Are you making tokens?"

"No, we are the workers of the princes of the world, and we are the ones who do things for all the princes in the world, so you can't arrest me, which of my tokens belongs to your family, you can choose for yourself. I said.

"Ha, there are three stubbles, take them away, and we'll go back and try him again. The soldier said and prepared to take us away.

One of the soldiers said, "No, they don't look like they're lying, none of his tokens are fake, and besides, there are tokens from the master of the family, let them in." ”

"This, you said the same, more things are better than less things in these years. ”

We were let go by two more soldiers, and I thanked them as we left, and asked, "Do you have a temple here?"

"No, not in the city, not outside the city. The soldier said.

"Impossible, there should be a temple here!"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to get into the city, hurry up, or get out of the way early. The soldier said.

I said, "I'll leave right away." ”

After we left the soldiers and entered the city, Sun Er said, "According to calculations, our target should be here, why is this a city?"

"I can't say this well, forget what happened last time we were in the City God Temple?" I said.

We rested in the city for a few days, and in the middle of the night I got up and went out of my room, and sat in the courtyard looking at the sky.

"What's wrong?" Wu Shu asked me.

I said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little tired lately, and I don't have too much money on hand." ”

"Don't worry, isn't there a new tomb next, what else is there to worry about?"

Somehow, Sun Er also came out of the room and said, "What are you worried about, why don't you go now and look in the city first." ”

"Well, if you find him, take him down at night. ”

After the three of us had discussed it, we took our things and set out, and after a few circles around the city, we found that there were not many inhabitants in the city, and there were only one hundred and eighty soldiers.

On the contrary, there are a lot of vacant houses, and there are many broken walls, which I am afraid is the aftermath of the war.

"It's strange that you say this mission is asking us to find a pair of shoes, or a pair of animal skin shoes. Sun Er muttered.

I said, "Whatever you find, as long as you can get money, we'll do it." ”

"These shoes are not ordinary, it is said that they are the talisman boots of a very famous bandit, and if any prince gets this thing, it will not be difficult to save his life. ”

"Is there such a powerful thing?"

Wu Shu smiled: "This prince really wears those shoes, I don't know if they fit or not." ”

"Even if it doesn't fit, it should have some effect on the body, right?" Sun Er said.

I said, "Then it's up to them to make it." ”

As we were about to walk out of the city, I noticed a barren clearing, with some red paint on the ruined walls on the ground, and some carved patterns on the bricks and tiles.

"This place is strange, how can it be so familiar?" I suddenly remembered, "Isn't this the temple of the day?"

"Oh, how did this temple become like this?" Wu Shu said.

I shook my head, jumped off my horse and walked in front of me.

After studying for a long time, I didn't find anything special, just a lot of memories of the past here.

But strangely, I found a few bamboo slips under the rubble, and there seemed to be something written on them.

I took a closer look at it and realized that it was written about a leader or something.

"It seems to be whose name it is. Wu Shudao.

Sun Er's eyes widened and said, "You said that this leader is not the person we are talking about?"

"You're talking about the person you're looking for?"

"Yes, after all, this place has a very close relationship with that person. ”

"Let's look and see if there are any other clues?" I said.

Due to the damage caused by the war, the floor of the ruined temple was also severely damaged, and we found a large number of scattered bamboo slips in the crevices under the ground.

Later, when I put it together, I found that it was about the chief.

Here is talking about the eight miles outside the city, there is a mountain name called Chizhu Mountain, there is a big village on the mountain, called Longteng Villa.

The king of the cottage is this leader, Long Tianxiao, he is a famous local person who robs the rich and helps the poor, and he is also the idol worshiped by the big guys, and he has gained a considerable reputation.

After Long Tianxiao was attacked by officers and soldiers, he fled to this place, took refuge in the temple for several days, and died of serious illness.

In order to commemorate this man, the temple was transformed into his temple and cemetery.

"So this is it, I said it was weird to sleep here that day. ”

Wu Shu said: "What's the difference?"

"It's too eerie at night and I often have nightmares. ”

"Looks like you've been here for quite some time. Sun Erdao.

"Yes, let's not talk about it, we have to find his grave, and we have to not be discovered by others, it must be too exposed here. I said.

Wu Shu smiled: "This is easy to do, let's dig a thief hole, and after entering the hole, I will set up a mechanism outside." ”

"It's better to set up some tricks so that no one can see you. I said.

"That's not hard. ”

I looked up at the sky and said, "It's still some time before dawn, let's dig quickly, maybe if we're lucky, we can get things done tonight." ”

We found a place near the ruins of the old temple and dug down, and it didn't take long to dig a tomb road, and we went down the tomb road, and found that there was really a road in all directions.

"The bandits made such a luxurious tomb?" Wu Shu sighed.

I said, "Maybe that's not enough, after all, he's a rich robber, and it's not difficult to come up with some money to build a decent cemetery." ”

"We're here to look for a good look, and we might have a windfall. ”

The tomb road seems to be extensive, but there are many burial chambers inside.

"It's strange, just such a copycat thief, making so many tombs?"

Wu Shu ran ahead, and after a while, he ran back: "Little Monkey, there are coffins in all the tombs here, and each coffin has a different name, it seems to be a multi-person cemetery. ”

"That's more interesting, let's get out of here before dawn. ”

We opened the coffins of four burial chambers in succession, and we didn't find anything from before, but it looked like a common people's cemetery.

"There are a few more over there, let's go over and talk about it. Wu Shudao.

We walked to the end of the graveyard and found a burial chamber without coffins, filled with boxes.

"It looks like this should be a warehouse, and the thief's savings for so many years are here. ”

"Aren't we sending it again?" Wu Shu smiled, looking extremely excited, and rushed in to open the boxes one by one, and we found that they were full of all kinds of clothes.

"Do you have shoes?"

Wu Shu shook his head and said, "We'll have to look for it for a while." ”

"Don't look for it, we've got what you're looking for, hand over the tokens. A voice came from the tomb.
