On a winter night in 1911, Jiaoshan on the south bank of the Dan River in the southeast of Jincheng City, Shanxi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

A man in the snow is desperately trying to escape, although he is exhausted, he still keeps running in the snow. Behind him, several men dressed in the clothes of Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers were chasing after him on horseback with bows and arrows at their waists.

The reason why this person ran away was because he had to abide by the words of his master or adoptive father, and even if he died, he would protect the "bronze box" in his arms. ”

"Lu Su, you must take good care of this bronze box and hand him over to the people of the Li family in Hongdong County, Linfen. Remember, it must be in their hands, and if it can't, it must be ruined, and it must not fall into the hands of others. Lu Su's master Lu Zhongyuan, at the last moment of his life, said to Lu Su in front of him.

Lu Su didn't know what was going on, all he knew now was that someone was going to put them to death, and the culprit who was killed was the bronze box that Lu Zhongyuan handed over to him.

Lu Su's life experience was already difficult, not long after he was born, he was given by his own father to his current adoptive father. More than 20 years have passed since Lu Shu, and he doesn't remember the appearance of his biological father at all, and it can be said that he has no impression at all.

"Master, why? Why did they kill us?" Lu Su asked Lu Zhongyuan, who was already seriously injured, crying.

"It's too late to explain now, you just have to remember, protect this box, don't fall into the hands of gangsters, otherwise you will ......" Lu Zhongyuan's voice gradually became smaller, and his panting sound became heavier and heavier, seeing that there was more air out and less air in. An arrow was plunged directly into his chest, and it was only a matter of time before he died.

"Let's go, I'll hold them back, you must protect the bronze box. Lu Zhongyuan said, and with his last strength, he was helped up by Lu Su, but a smile appeared on his face. Lu Zhongyuan gently wiped away the tears on Lu Su's face with his hand, and said softly, "Lu Yu is actually your own brother. ”

After Lu Zhongyuan said this, he pushed Lu Su and asked him to leave quickly from the back door in the courtyard. The direction of the back door is Jiaoshan, where Lu Su also grew up, and when he was a child, he often followed his master up the mountain to collect medicine, and he knew the topography of the mountain well.

"Master. Lu Su looked at the master, and the back door was slowly closed by Lu Zhongyuan, and among the four eyes, Lu Zhongyuan was also a little reluctant to give up the child in front of him.

The moment the door was closed, Lu Su heard a scream. The scream came from his master, and he could distinguish it, but all he could do was to obey his master's last words, escape from the pursuit of those people, and go to Hongdong County to find the people of the Li family.

"Whew. Lu Su was already out of breath, and before he knew it, he had run to the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain.

This year's winter is exceptionally cold, and this is indeed the case for Lu Su. When I woke up in the morning, the sun was still there, but in the evening, it snowed heavily.

"I can't die here, I can't die here, the master's last words are not finished, I can't die, absolutely not. Lu Su used the little spiritual power he had left to constantly remind himself, warning himself that he couldn't stop, and if he stopped, he would either freeze to death or be chased by the people behind him and kill him.

"There are footprints on the ground, just keep chasing ahead. The man who took the lead rode a horse, with a torch in his hand, and after shining the footprints on the ground, he said to the four or five men behind him.

"Yes. After the other three answered, they followed the leader and continued to pursue.

After Lu Su, who was running in front, heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer to him behind him, he accelerated his pace even more, even if he died, he couldn't fall into their hands.

Just as he was running forward in a hurry, his feet suddenly slipped, and Lu Su's eyes went black, and he rolled into a cave.

The pain in his whole body almost made Lu Su faint, but he still stood up with it, and it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything. But from the speed and direction of the rolling, Lu Su judged where the bronze box would fall, and after groping for a while, he finally touched the bronze box.

Taking out the fire fold from his arms, Lu Su checked the situation in the cave. But as far as he knew, he had come to Horn Mountain quite a few times, but he had never encountered a cave here.

With the light of the fire beating on the fire fold, Lu Su saw the situation around him, thinking that this was just an ordinary cave, at most a cave inhabited by large animals, but in the light of the fire fold, Lu Su saw a spear in his hand, standing straight, neatly sculpturing figures.

There are many sculpture figures, at least from Lu Su's point of view, they are all statues, standing there motionless. Each statue is a pose, which is different from the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang, and the postures are varied.

The distance between each statue is about half a meter, and people can walk back and forth between the statues. Lu Su took the fire fold and walked in the middle of the statue, he wanted to know the origin of the statue, at this moment he hesitated and forgot that there were still a few people outside who were chasing him.

After walking for several minutes, the statue finally came to an end, and at the end of the statue were ten identical coffins, all of which were sarcophagi. And the sarcophagus did not have a lid on the coffin. There were five on each side of the ten coffins, and behind these ten coffins there was a stone platform, which was already covered with dust, and on which was only an oil lamp was placed.

What is this?Ancient Tomb?Lu Su raised the fire fold high, and then looked around. There are figurines accompanying the burial, as well as coffins, except for the word ancient tomb, Lu Su can't think of a word that can be better described.

You know, there are not a lot of people coming and going from Jiaoshan, even if others don't know, but he himself grew up here, to put it mildly, what trees are here, and where is the location of the mountain, Lu Su remembers it clearly, but what happened to the ancient tomb that suddenly appeared here?

While Lu Su was thinking about this, there was some fire outside the entrance of the cave, and there was no doubt that the people who were chasing him followed his footprints to find this place.

Outside the hole.

A tall, thin officer came to the leader with a large fire and said, "Chief, the footprints have disappeared at the entrance of the cave in front of you, and you must have entered the cave." ”

"Okay, hehe. When the officers and men known as the "leader" heard the report of their subordinates, they were very happy in their hearts, and they really had a way to heaven if you didn't go, and there was no way into a cave!

The leader jumped off his horse, and the other three jumped off their horses, and then they also took their swords from their horses and held their torches high and walked towards the mouth of the cave.

"Oops. Lu Su secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly extinguished the fire fold, and then

According to the position of the sarcophagus in this cave that he had just remembered, he hid behind the sarcophagus.

As soon as he had dodged, a torch emerged from the mouth of the cave, and another man walked into the cave. After him, three more men entered the cave with torches.

After the five men walked into the cave, they were completely stunned by the sight in front of them. What they never expected was that there would be so many figurines in this cave, and looking at the steps under their feet, the leader took the lead and walked down.

Seeing that the leader took the lead and went first, the other four people did not hesitate, and followed the leader down the steps. Shine the torch in his hand on these figurines in front of him, although these figurines are all fake, only the spear in his hand is real, but it still feels so uncomfortable, almost like a stranger, looking at himself without looking at himself, it feels so weird.

"Look for them one by one, and you must find that person. The leader looked at the figurines, and then said to the four behind him. Although I don't know what the situation of this cave is, it is better to find the person with the bronze box as soon as possible, and then leave here as soon as possible.

"Yes. The four men agreed, and each walked from the narrow area between the figurines and the figurines, which could only be passed by one person. With the torch in his hand, he shone on the face of each figurine one by one, there are so many figurines here, maybe that person is disguised as a human figurine and mixed in.

After more than ten minutes of searching, he still found nothing, and he didn't hear any of his subordinates' reports, so the leader was a little angry, so he was ready to ask loudly what was going on. At this moment, one of his subordinates shouted loudly, "Boss, come and see." ”

After the leader had passed through a figurine, he saw four of his subordinates gathered in front of a rectangular object, shining the torch in his hand at the object. But from the leader's point of view, all that can be seen is the surprised expressions of his subordinates.

"What's wrong?" asked the chief, walking over.

"Look. A man pointed to the inside of the sarcophagus and asked the leader to look at it.

"What's so beautiful, isn't it just ......" Before the head finished speaking, his eyes had already seen the sarcophagus, and what was placed inside, it was estimated that he would never be able to forget it in his life.

In the sarcophagus, a beautiful woman wearing Qing Dynasty clothes is lying quietly in the sarcophagus. And the beautiful woman's face was still a little crimson, as if she had just died, or was sleeping in the sarcophagus, if it weren't for the fact that her chest didn't fall together, it was really hard to see that this woman was really dead.

"What day is today?" asked the chief, frowning as if he had realized something, when he saw the beautiful woman.

"Xinhai year. One of the subordinates didn't understand why the head asked this, so he replied.

"I didn't ask you what year you are, what day did you have?" the leader was a little angry, and almost went up to slap the man, but he still suppressed his anger.

"The thirteenth day of the lunar month. The other man knew that the leader was angry, so he replied quietly and cautiously.

"What time is it?"

"It's time for the child. ”

"Oops. The head seemed to realize something, and at the same time as these two words were just spoken, the eyes of the beautiful woman lying quietly in the sarcophagus opened suddenly.
