Chapter 422: The Loss of West Lake
Wu Shu said: "It's really irritable, this is something we've never met, what kind of character is this Xi Shi Fan Li, it's true or false to make a broken tomb." ”
"No matter, the next place is not far from us anyway. ”
"Where?"
"West Lake!"
We hurried continuously, without stopping. In a few days, we will arrive at the shore of Dexi Lake.
Actually, this West Lake is not the elegant and beautiful place I imagined, but it doesn't seem to have any attraction.
Perhaps it was because I spent too much energy on the road of Xishi Fan Li's tomb for a long time, and I felt numb to any scenery in front of me.
Ah Cai seemed to be more numb than me, and she couldn't help but mutter: "What a broken place, the water is muddy, choose to fall in love here, it is better to go to the village to sit down." ”
"That's it this season, the lake is pretty good now, at least it's not drying up. Liu Lao Si said.
Huang Maoqiang was very uncomfortable, drinking water boringly with Wu Shu.
Strangely, when we were standing on the edge of the lake, we noticed that there were people in the lake pounced on the fish, and after we called, the fisherman slowly rowed the boat to the shore.
"You people have come here to enjoy the scenery?" asked the fisherman.
I shook my head and said, "We're here to find something." "I thought about it for a long time, so I might as well ask him if he knows if there are any special places or strange people nearby.
Unexpectedly, the fisherman didn't wait for me to say and asked us directly, "You shouldn't have come to look for that, right?"
I was stunned, looked at the fisherman and said, "Do you know what we're looking for?"
"You know you're here to steal fish, right?" said the fisherman.
Wu Shu immediately smiled and couldn't close his mouth, and kept nodding and said, "Yes, yes, it's a fish stealer." ”
The fisherman said, "I'm not talking about stealing the fish in the water, I'm afraid you are coming to steal the big fish in the mountains, right?"
On the contrary, it made me think he really knew something. I then asked, "Do you know how big that fish is?"
"How big?" the fisherman snorted, "A few days ago, dozens of people left with more than a dozen carts of things, and I think those things are enough to change into Jinshan." ”
"Huh?" Huang Maoqiang ran over and said, "What did you say?"
Seeing the appearance of the yellow-haired tiger, the fisherman was immediately shocked and subconsciously retreated.
"What are you going to do?"
"Huang Maoqiang, don't be frizzy, ask if you have something to say. Then I said to the fisherman, "Do you know where they got their stuff from?"
Only then did the fisherman show that greedy smile and say, "Is this this?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Laosi took out some silver from his arms and threw it to the fisherman: "This money is enough for you to catch fish for half a month." ”
"It's easy to say this, let's go, I'll take you there. "The fisherman took the boat, tied the ropes, and dragged us into the mountains that he had spoken to him.
About a few miles away from Xizi Lake, there are two mountains with lush foliage and beautiful scenery, and there is a valley in the middle of the mountain, and you go along the valley, but at the end there is a cliff connected by the two mountains.
Just as we were nearing the end of the valley, the fisherman stopped and said, "Go on, and when you have no way out, do not go up the mountain, but look for the bottom of the cliff, for there will be a place where you can enter the mountain." ”
"You mean you won't take us in?" Huang Maoqiang asked.
The fisherman said, "Don't worry, I took your money and won't lie to you." Besides, I'm such an ordinary person, how dare I play tricks on you, I still want to live for two more years. ”
Liu Laosi grabbed a stone and smashed it with his fist to demonstrate to the fisherman.
The fisherman smiled again: "It's really powerful, much more powerful than the previous group, don't worry, I won't lie to you." ”
Seeing that the fisherman didn't mean to lie, and even if he did, it wouldn't be hard for us to clean him up.
However, we also have some doubts about whether what he is talking about is the cemetery we are looking for.
Wu Shu's had already gone forward, and it didn't take long for him to run back and say, "Little Yak, it's true inside, there are two thief holes, and the fisherman didn't lie." ”
I waved my hand for the fisherman to leave, but I inevitably felt a sense of loss in my heart, and the two thieves proved that more than one group had been there, and that the things there had not been removed.
"Since we're here, let's go in and see, how much we take, how to say that in order to find it, we spent a whole year of hard work. I said.
Watching the fisherman leave, we followed Wu Shu into one of the thieves' holes.
Along the way, there were a lot of bones, and a few corpses that looked like they had just died, probably all of them together.
Wu Shu walked at the front and said, "The mechanisms here should have been almost opened." ”
"Then let's focus on what is here, and see if there are any more that they can't take and leave here. I said.
Ah Cai said: "Little brother, can you be sure that this is the cemetery we are looking for?"
"Almost, even if it's not, we'll go back after this trip, we have to think about it, it's not a way to go on like this, it's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and we can't get good things, how can hundreds of people feed them. I said.
To be honest, the mechanism here is really perverted, and it doesn't take long from the thief hole to enter the mechanism, and we have seen no less than dozens of corpses along the way, killed by all kinds of mechanisms.
Huang Maoqiang saw that Wu Shu was walking carefully, the speed was a little slow, he was still in a hurry, he pulled out his sword and rushed to the front of Wu Shu, and disappeared in front of us in a moment.
Walking through the tortuous tomb passage, we saw a formal burial chamber that had been rare for a long time.
The sarcophagus in the burial chamber was opened, and the dry bones inside hung halfway from the outside of the coffin, and the hideous skull eyes stared at the ground in a lonely way.
There were few fragments of a tattered silk garment scattered on the ground, and I leaned over to see the corpse of the grave robber clinging to the boneless leg, a golden hairpin hanging from his mouth, and his back pierced by the boneless arm.
"It's so miserable!" Liu Laosi sighed: "What you want, Lao Tzu will help you take it out." He took the hairpin from the tomb robber's mouth and put it in his pocket.
After searching the entire tomb for a long time, in addition to the hairpin, only a few incomplete bronze mirrors were found.
Even so, we still accept it, after all, we are really short of money.
"This burial chamber should be buried, and further inside, it is estimated that the big one is still inside. I said.
As soon as we came out of the tomb, we saw Huang Maoqiang running towards us like crazy, shouting, "Tiger, there are tigers in the cemetery, I am really going to be played to death." ”
I didn't know that the tiger species was such a threat to us here, so I drew my broken sword and prepared to deal with the tiger.
But when I saw it, I found that it was a machine tiger, completely wooden, and when I ran, I relied on a few wheels under my feet as if it were a big cart.
Wu Shu said: "Wait, Lao Tzu will clean him up." ”
He clenched the shovel in his hand tightly, and hid in the tomb, and when the machine tiger came, he threw the shovel out with great speed and accurately plunged into the gap in the wheel under the machine tiger.
The Tiger immediately stopped, its mouth wide open, and spat out a few bolts from it, but it didn't take long for it to stop.
Wu Shu said: "This mechanism should have been encountered by others, otherwise a dozen crossbow arrows in his mouth can also make us into a honeycomb." ”
Wu Shu moved quickly, and soon dismantled the machine and removed some of its parts, keeping them for his own use.
When Huang Maoqiang ran back, he said helplessly: "The inside has also been searched, and I haven't found anything too good after a few rounds." ”
"How many burial chambers are there?" I asked.
Huang Mao said strongly: "The burial chamber where the Organ Tiger came out should be the main burial chamber, but I didn't go in." ”
"Alright then, let's go to the main burial chamber and we'll leave if there's nothing left. I said.
We people looked very depressed, Liu Laosi was even more exaggerated, tears were about to fall, and he cried: "I grew so big, robbed so many tombs, and never said that I would make a hairpin with such a big effort, and I couldn't even get back the money I just paid for asking for directions." ”
"Stop whining, go in. I said.
After we entered, the main burial chamber was also turned over, and the remaining things in it were not enough for Liu Laosi to fill his pockets, looking at the two corpses in the huge exquisite glass coffin, I couldn't help but give Fan Li a thumbs up.
He is really a god who can be counted, he helped King Yue take the world, and accepted his pets, and even for so long after his death, he completely captured the heart of Xi Shi, who can be called a fairy in the world.
"No!" I suddenly noticed that something was not quite right with the two corpses, and their positions did not seem to have been moved.
Wu Shuke came over, looked at the coffin and said, "Don't move the coffin yet, this may be a mechanism, it should be that the person in front of you didn't understand this place at all." ”
"Is there a way to open it?"
"I'll try, but it's the first time I've seen the glass coffin, so let me find the mechanism first. Wu Shu kept circling around the coffin.
Finally he stopped at the end of the coffin, and when I leaned over to look, he had slowly removed the tiny copper nail at the end of the coffin.
The copper nail was attached to a very thin thread, and he told us not to move, and said, "This thread cannot be broken, and if it does, it may move the mechanism here." ”
Seeing him stretch the silk thread longer and longer, we found that the lid of the glass coffin was slowly being pulled open.
"Get ready to put something against the lid of the coffin!" Wu Shu said.
Liu Laosi immediately transformed, hugged the stone pillar in the corner of the tomb, and pressed against the glass coffin lid.
I immediately looked at the two corpses and found that one of them had a jade pillow under its head, while the other one had disappeared under its head.
And near the heads of the two skeletons, we see the bones of two other hands.
I seemed to understand what was going on.
Wu Shu said: "Use tools to take things out to prevent the coffin lid from rebounding." ”
